In her tentative proposals TO our

many has advanced a plan which re-
veals how completely this department
or warfare has been organized under
the direction of Won Tirpitz, and how
absolutely the movement of the sub
marines is controlled. The plan sug-
gested provides that an Arrangement
be made for the examination, certih-
cation and identification of passenger

ports for the war zone" and Germany
Is alleged to be willing Ito pledge
herself not TO attack such passenger
ships on which she is convinced there

Dismissing for the present all con-
sideration of the propriety of our en-
gaging in such a compact the scheme
is highly interesting because of the
confidence it shows that Germany
feels in her ability to carry out her
part of the arrangement. Were it
adopted this government would notify
Germany Of the ships 10 which certif-
Gates were issued in accordance with
its terms; this information would be
transmitted to the appropriate inn
perial authority, and by it dis
tributed to the commanders of the
submarines. II is true that several
days would alapse between the date
of issuing the certificate and The ar

naval officers have plainly devised a
remarkable system of reporting to be
ready to promise immunity from at

Wireless telegraphy and telephony
must of necessity play an important
part in the method. 1t has been re-

STREET IMPROVEMENT WORK BEGINS.

W Wilmington streets under the 100000 street lm-

eral different sections of city at the time TO
the end that the work may be done expeditiousy
and advantageously and with the least possible in
terruption Of public traffic That cannot fail to be
pleasing news TO those who reside or own property
the thoroughfares affected by the plan Of improve
ment
There is a widespread desire that before the work
ends the city officials will their way clear pro-
vide funds for the improvement of Market from
the Christana northward to the city line; Fourth
street. from the Christana westward 10 the city line
and Pennsylvania avenue out as far as the b. & o.
tracks Those three great channels of communica-
tion. They deserve TO be put in the best condition
possible with the funds at command. The street im-
provement work will not be satisfying to the public
less it includes those projects That fact should be
recognized by the city officials.
Everyone knows that street paving is expensive
work and that the fund the disposal of the Street
and Sewer Department is limited In all communities
however, there certain thoroughfares which, be-
cause Of their importance must be kept up to the high
est possible standard for the benefit of the cities as
whole. Market street. Fourth street and Pennsylvania

4 BrsINEss.LIRE COMMITTET.

VIZ e note that the Amercanization Day Committee,
wv which was authorized by City Council to spend
$3.50 to eet the expense Of holding its Independence
Day celebration, discovered that it could get along
with trne over SlOO of the public money and with less
of the private funds than had been subscribed. It,
therefore left the public fund balance in the city
treasury and is returning to private subscribers a
percentage of their subscriptions.
This is a tribute to the good management of the com
mttee which refused to take advantage of the gener-
osity of City Council and private subscribers oc
casion well worth the best public support
It is usual when public funds granted for such
purpose to expend the entire amounts Often there is
no reason why this should be So except that the
is there and long 1t is from public source, no
compuncon is felt concerning eXtravagant Of it,
The local celebration on July was on a scale COM
monsurate with the dignity and importance Of the
cason; and yet a desirable simplicity maintained.
That the committee kept this idea spite Of abun-
dant funds for more elaborate celebration and less
businesslike financing. shows merited consideration
for city interests II is to be hoped that this prece
dent will have weight other and similar occasions
in which public and private funds are available for use

The Spendfhnfi Nations of Europe
(From The Washington Post)

United states financial institutions
have a pretty good-sized job to, first,
care for the charging trade of their
own country and to respond to the
greater demand for money which is
sure to come with the moving of the
crops
Then there is the call upon their
| resources which comes with the car
ing for the securities our own invest
ors take over from the European hold
ers of American securities.
Third, there is the financing of our
greater and gre wing trade with Latin
America.
Fourth, there will be hundreds of
millions Of dollars value of the Eu-
ropoan purchases from the United
States that Europe will ask our peO-
| pie to carry in some form for it or
/ for its creditors here, and. so far as
that balance on foreign trade is con-
4 cerned, IL seems it would be good
/ business TO a certain limit-the limit
of safety to ourselves.
( With all these affairs, so essential
to the prosperity of our own nation
to look out 'or, the belligerent ma
tions of Europe surely cannot expect
the investors of the United States,
or the lnancia institutions OF the
United States. to place much cash in
British, French or Russian loans,
