it's simple brown dress long before
we reached it on our usual evening
walk. l gave it long and eager
glances as we passed on the other
side. If there had been a dozen
hay wagons l should have made the

it irresistible on her way home, that
there would be something 10 stay

glance through the big plate glass
window. When returning by the
other side of the street we stopped
and climbed the steep steps to the
narrow porch. | knew my wish
was rapidly coming true; when |
was sitting at small table eating
my order of Sallie Roach s pine
apple ice cream my happiness was
complete.
Things in the town of N are
quite changed now. The simple
brown dress has faded and gone
Others have got in line and the
mile walk now, to use the Irish eX-
preston, would be mile and bit.
Instead of one long formidable

which form an L with every in
tersecting street. Each l. is joined
with every other l. and they all
surround the great l. of Learning

Long ago small street lamps shed
feeble beams, beams that seemed
worlds apart when darkness inter-
vened between the distant posts.

two miles away | look toward the

twilight Of evening but it is really

TO XIII ana destroy weaker nations,
or men in any nation. If it is un-
Christian for men to settle their
dispute with their fists, it is wrong
for nations to adjust their quarrels
by iron fists on land or sea. If it is
Christian for man to negotiate all
questions with his brother in the
sweet Christian spirit of forbear-
ance, charity, even forgiveness,
what else can be Christian for
nations? We have not believed
this, we have not preached it in our
pulpits, or taught it in our schools.
We are going to learn it now in
this year Of agony. Every pulpit
should reiterate it every week. -
The committee Of 200 in charge
of the recent peace parade in New
York City will at once effect per-
menant organization to oppose war.
The organization plans to appeal to
the enfranchised women through
the world to pledge themselves to
use their political influence against
war. A similar appeal will be made
to all women organized to secure
the ballot in the United States and
abroad. The cooperation Of other
groups Of women will Of course be
asked. The Woman s Trade Union
League, with a membership of 10,
600 has issued call for a mass
meeting in Chicago on September
Ii, in protest against the European
War. The Woman s Trade Union
League as well as the International
Council of Women, and the Gen
eral Federation Of Women s Clubs
is on record in favor of woman
suffrage.
The idea Of the organization will
be different from that of the peace
societies of the past, in that the fu-
tility Of armed peace will be recog-
nized. The many suffragists in the
parade have of course laid empha-
sis on the fact that women in order
to make their opposition to war eff
fective must have political power.
1t is believed that many women
who have not heretofore been suf-
fragists will become so because Of
the war.
Does not war concern women?
Lucy Stone said: 1.-The govern
ment takes a woman s son out to be
shot, and then it puts it's bloody
hand in her pocket to help pay the
bills. When Napoleon told
famous Frenchwoman that women
ought not to meddle with politics,
she answered: "Sire, when women
are liable to have their heads cut
off, it is only natural that they
should wish to know the reason
why.' And this wish is fully as
strong when it is the lives Of their
sons that are liable to be cut off.
The horrors of the war in Europe
must be making thousands Of wo-
men long to have vote.

E. S. A. Press Committee.

We give our children drums to
beat
Before they stand upon their feet;
We give them swords and soldiers
gay,
And at the game of war they play
We bend the twig Of humankind,
Yet marvel if the trees inclined.
Early we learn that might is right,
That life itself is one long fight.
This world s battlefield, we teach /;
Business is war--a common speech.
We bash our brother on the nose,
Yet weep if nations come to blows.
Our poems and pictures, books and
plays
The doughty deeds Of warriors
praise.
Our mode of speech, our mode of
life
Are echoes Of the ancient strife.
The women dress au militaire,
Yet-''War's horrible affair"

State Fair A
Great Success

The Delaware State Fair, held
during last week at Wawaset Driv-
ing Park, Wilmington, has been
pronounced by the officials the most
satisfactory ever held. L. Scott
Townsend, president Of the assO-
citation, in speaking Of the fair
Saturday, said:
''It is customary to say, said
Mr.. Townsend, that it was the best
fair ever. That is always said, but
this year | feel no hesitancy in
saying that we had the best, larg-
est and greatest fair that the COM
mittee can remember. We ought to
know, too, because this committee
has served for the last II years and
it has now become pet hobby with
us. ...
"For myself, and | think l can
express the sentiment or the entire
committee, we are delighted with
everything connected with the fair
II was huge success from every
viewpoint. The weather was made
to order but that was arranged
during the recent warm spell of
two weeks ago, and the plea for
cool weather was made a trif1e too
strong.
"The attendance was another
gratifying feature. During the
week we must have had $4,000 per-
sons within the park. Thursday
was the big day and when we con-
slider the attendance we feel that
almost all Of Wilmington, to say
nothing of the farmers from the
surrounding country must have
taken advantages of the occasion to
join in the festivities.
"The quality Of the exhibits was
as high as any standard could be
set The poultry show, the dog
show, the horse show and all the
rest surpassed our fondest hopes.
We had nothing on the grounds
that single exception could be
taken to, and all the exhibitors were
well satisfied with the management
and exceedingly few objections or
criticisms were brought up.
Everything come off without
hitch and when the public express
themselves as they did at all times
during the week we feel that this
years fair will go down as the best
we have ever had, and the best that
the state has ever experienced. Our
only y regret is that next year we
have to outrival the 1914 fair and
give Wilmington and the 1915
fair higher standard and this we
feel will require an added amount
of ingenuity which will be difficult
to resurrect."

Our Town

When a child | knew a road
which was said to be twelve miles
long and which I experienced 20 be
one OF countless turns; it wound
now to the left, now to the right.
Sometimes it turned twice to the
left, then twice to the right. | never
did learn its strange and varied
windings until my sister and l
started alone to pay little visit to
my grandfather at the village
twelve miles from W. where |
live. Depending on the horse and
a few directions from wayfarers
arrived at what seemed to me the
only entrance to the town. If this
had been a walled city it could not
have been more firmly fixed in my
mind that there were but two en-
frances, the one by which we came
and went and the one which was
at the other end Of Main street and
led over the hill.
TO my mind there were but two
rows of houses, long rows; / knew
them to extend a mile at least for
| had walked the distance many
times. There they stood facing each
other like dancers who have taken
their places for the Virginia Reel.
They were just as different from
one another as dancers could be /;
some tall, some short; some dressed
in red, others in yellow or white,
green or orange; some in plain,
severe attire, and others with
all the ruffles and founces of
the latest styles. Every time
| went to this town they stood in
this same attitude to me. All the
day they stood inactive as though
waiting for others to get in line.
1t was not until evening that they
became animated and the partners
bowed to each other and were ap-
parently ready TO begin the dance.
Each evening we had our mile
walk from one end of town to the
other. All the houses bowed to
each other or us. We had few
words from this. porch, long con-
versation from that garden. The
two that attracted me most and
had the strongest influence over me
were these: stately building in
red, mellowed by time, with pure
white Grecian columns, its sole or
namentation. The rich green. vel
vety campus spread out like the
flowing, graceful robes of king.
Every time l passed / instinctively
looked toward the king and in the
posture of subject my spirit gave
homage to this institution of learn
ing. The other building pleased

AS The War Seems
To Some OF Us

The irony of eight avowedly
Christian nations plunged into such
a war as now devastates Europe is
commented on in a recent number
Of the New York Christian Work
and Evangelist" by Rev. DR.. Fred
erick Lynch, who has just returned
from the scene of war. DR..
Lynch describes the horrors of
conditions in Europe as follows:
"ln moment, almost without
premonition, millions Of men on
the continent have become fren-
zied, and with wild eyes, with bes-
tial thirst for blood, and with saw
age yells, are rushing to rip their
brothers bowels out. Women are
rushing from beseiged and burning
cities with little babies in their
arms, and little cold, hungry, tired
boys and girls, hardly old enough
to walk, trying to keep up. Poverty
stares millions in the face-poverty
not only during this war, but dur
ing long years to come. Thousands
Of women are to be widowed, mil
lions of little children are to be
left fatherless. Natural affections
are already blotted out, and their
place being taken by strange, cruel
lusts and passions. The virtue of
women will be free commodity
for all soldiers. Drunkenness has
already spread throughout these
lands in mad orgy. All industry
will be ruined. Thousands of farms
and villages will be laid waste.
Thousands Of schools and churches
will be blown up. Hatreds will be
engendered which will keep Europe
irritated fifty years after the peace
of exhaustion shall come. The COM
merce Of the world will be all up
set. The general morality Of Eu-
rope will be lowered to point
where the churches will have to be-
gin all over again and work hun
dred years to restore it. Already
thousands Of atheists have been
made. Almost every other man we
have met in Europe this last week
has shook his head with sadness
and said: What's the good of
Christianity, if it cannot stop this
sort of thing?' 1t is as if the Devil
and all his angels have taken COM
plete possession of Europe.
"The lesson of it ALL" declares
the Literary Digest, "is that ma
tions must live up to the same rules
of conduct that their people deserve
as Individuals
Again quoting DR.. Lynch: Gone
thing even the blind can see lies at
the root of all this calamity of the
nations, and that is our neglect to
preach the truth on which any last
ing order Of justice or peace can be
reared, namely, that nations must
be amenable to the same Christian
ethics that govern the relationships
OF men. There can be no double
standard of ethics in the kingdom
OF God. Right must be right and
wrong be wrong throughout the
whole universe of men,. If it is
wrong for men to steal, it is just
as criminal for big ne tions to seize
little ones. If it is wrong for men
to murder, it is wrong for nations
