THE WASTE OF WAR


Two factors will contribute largely
to the end Of the war in Europe. One
Is the cost OF war and the other is the
possibility of famine. Great Britain
Is in no danger of the latter. because,
we are informed, the paths to the
United States and to Canada are now
Open"
Imports Of grain into England have
been largely In excess Of the normal,
because so many continental ports are
open and because up to ;he present
England has received su,ae &C or more
cargoes of grain that were declIne,i
for continental ports"
A report from London under date
of September End. says: AT prese-
ent the stocks of meat in Lonlcn
warehouses are said to he 60 per
cent above the average, while the
wheat. maize and barley stocks are
150 per cent, 200 per cent and GOO
per cent, respectively above the aver
age"
Then the question arises, IL Eng
land has more than her share is not
some other country preparing to s',-
fer for II?
Any estimating upon the cost of
war is more or less conjecture. But
tho actual cost of keeping the ar
mics in the field is s700.O00.O00
month, and is only a part OF war s
cost. And the wages paid the ar,
mics are productive OF nothing but
sickness. death. destruction and sor-
row. The same amount OF money ex-s
pended In wages would produce the
things which make for happiness and
contentment.
All of the. wages paid in the United
States in any one year Of which we
have census report amounted to 49,
500. 100000. or about half of the an
nual cost of this war at the present
ratio. In the year 1909, the total val
ue OF all the manufactured product
OF cotton in the United States was less
than the war bill Of Europe for one
month.
While war plays havoc with warning
nations, those neutral countries d.
rectly involved must also suffer, as
we'll we know. The bank clearings
of the United States for the week
ending September 10th were sl,1es.-
$4,000 less than for the corresponding
week one year before.
The sublime folly OF war is thus
measured In dollars and cents. and
there is no computing the suffering,
the anguish. the. prostration of the
homes where the tread of war grinds
Ito iron siiod heels into the quivering
hearts Of mothers and wives whose
arms ache to embrace the absent low
ed ones. with faces paling under the
glittering stare---mur6iefeds because OF
the madness OF monarchy. :, i
The frenaied people in their excess
for patriotic zeal may not be willing
to end the war. but when the relent-
less field hal. Starvation, march
es upon tina field, with Debt and Ruin
as his aides. then will the real hor-
rors OF war be seen and humanity
may cause an end TO this senseless
waste of treasure. OF blood, OF life.
OF women's tears.

ARBOR DAY IN DELAwARE.

- OvERNOR MILLER issued early this month";
VI proclamation reminding Delawareans that April
II would bo Arbor Day and suggesting to them
that It be attingly observed. Well yesterday
Arbor Day and the public response to that most com
mendabe proclamation far from creditable to the
public.
In this city Of $4,000 inhabitants, for in
stance the only formal recognition OF the proclama
ton from the Delaware Congressional Union for
Equal Suffrage. It planned to plant with appropriate
ceremony young pin oak in Brandywine Park. The
tree was ordered through the Park Department, I'm
fortunately II failed to arrive in time and the
mony had to be postponed, much to the regret Of
those who had arranged for &C. Therefore, Arbor Day
passed without any formal recognition in the metropo
lis of State. II the suffrage tree had arrived, to
the Delaware Congressional Union for Equal Suffrage
would have belonged the honor of being the only
ganzaon which paid practical heed to the Governors
proclamation That it unable to carry out its
design due to lack of Arbor Day spirit but to
conditions beyond its control.
We would remind Delawareans that Arbor Day
stands something that is worth while and that the
Governors proclamation relative thereto is a State
document that is worthy OF serious and favorable
sideration and action not only in Wilmington but also
in the rural sections Of State If the day be worth
designating and proclaiming It also should be worth
observing. Or reversing that declaration, if the day
be not worth observing, It also should not be worth
designating and proclaming. II is waste of time
Tor our GONeThOf actudteu Dy lduudDe hupulhei 70
issue a proclamation which receives only passing at
tention and produces practical action.
Delaware Is essentially agricultural and hor
ticultural State Most Of It's wealth comes from the
soil. Therefore would imagine that the spirit
underlying Arbor Day would receive appropriate
cognton here That it does not shows conclusively
that between now and the issuance of the next
proclamation there should be- in all three counties
agitation that will lead to practical results along
arboreal lines.

FRACTURED SKULL
FATAL TO Curtis

Emory Curtis. colored, aged 3s
years OF Marshallton, who was found
early Thursday morning lying along
side the p. and K. railroad at Els
mere with fractured skull,
died at the Delaware Hos
pital yesterday morning Curtis,
who was married, is said to have
been employed as a track walker by
the b. and 0. Railroad Company. His
body was removed to his late home
and the funeral Will take place on
Monday.
Coroner Spring has started to in
yestigate the circumstances of the
mans death. II was thought at first
that Curtis fell from the Peoples
Railway bridge which spans the rail-
road tracks and had sustained a
fractured skull in this manner. AS
his duties as a track walker would
not cause him to go on the railway
bridge, this explanation Of his injury
is not shared by those who know the
dead man.
No time has been set for the
coroner's inquest in the case.
