Charles W. Cullen. OF Georgetown.
of counsel for the Coleman dupont
Road incorporated was given priv
ilege of the floor and explained the
purposes of the proposed amendments.
He said one change was TO set forth
in the law that the 200-feet strip of
land TO be taken by the boulevard cor
poration was for public purposes"
Another amendment would increase
from thirty feet TO forty feet the
width of vehicular traffic roadway
that would have to be placed on the
200-foOt strip. Another change would
authorize the construction Of a
branch boulevard down the western
side of Sussex county. lt would
have to be finished within four years
after the survey is filed. Another
. feature would require the actual
building of public utility within
three years on the completed boule-
ward.
Mr.. Cullen, in explaining the amend
ment TO set forth that the land TO be
taken was for a public use, said it
has been uniformly held by the
courts that where a law stated that
land was taken for a public use that
was final. Mr.. Cullen asked that il

Thousands Assemble Quickly Follow
 ing Announcement.

London, May 7.-It was in the city district, in the heart of the shipping quarters, that the sinking of the huge liner Lusitania first became known. The information was brief, but complete. A message posted a iLloyd's ran:
 'The admiralty has report that the Lusitania was sunk off the old head of Kinsale, at 2:15 o'clock this afternoon"
 Before long the officers of the ship company were beseiged by inquiregs but the, Cunard officials knew nothing more than what was contained in the admiralty's report.
 At 6 o'clock crowds of persons were waiting for the information which was still lacking. It was ar ranged to keep the offices open all night for the receipt of information frcm relatives Of the passengers.
 At 6:30 o'clock officials of tho company at Coxspur street, London, announced they had received in formation that sixtean of the ships beats were engaged in the work of rescue and that twenty boats from  the adjacent coast also were On ,ne scene.
 During the evening there was a steady stream of callers at the Gun ard office. Many of them were in evening dress. - At 7:3O D. m., the crowd in Coxspur street had assumsd 1 such proportions that a special staff of police was employed in .di- recting the long stream of motor cars and guarding the doorways.
 A brother of Charles Frohman was early at the Cunard office making in quiries for the theatrical man. A theatrical person deeply concerneo was Miss Muriel Terry, who was waiting for news of her husband, o. P. Bernard, to whom she was mar ried three years ago.

The more you consider the German empire during the stress of war the more you have to admire it. There is not other way out of it.
 This refers to it's economic organi Zation and arrangement during these strenuous days.

 the Cunard line, was at the pier, and in "a statement said that the voyage of the Lusitania would not be attend ed by any risk whatever, as the liner had a speed of twenty-five and one- half knots and was provided with un- usual watertight bulkheads.
 The Lusitania was delayed for more than two and one-half hours in sail
 ing for Liverpool last Saturday on account of having to take over the |163 passengers from the Anchor liner Cameronia, which was chartered at the last minute by the British admir- |alty.
 Charles T.

 Alexander Campbell, general mana ger of John Dewar & sons, London, who also sailed, referred to the ad- vertisement as ''tommyrOt."
 Others passengers included Ebert Hubbard, publisher of the Philistine; D. A. Thomas, the multi-milllonaire, Welsh coal operator, and his dauSh- ter, Lady Mackworth, the English suffragette. All these persons took occasion to say that they saw noth- ing to worry about in the advertise ment

TINE BLUFF
 PROGRESS ROSPE.RITY
PUTTING IT STRAIGHT.

Many of the big thinkers of the country deplore the tendency of pres ent-day reformers to shift responsi- bility from the individual to the state in the development and maintenance Of morality, but few have presented the case better or more succinctly than Thomas w. shelton of Norfolk Va, chairman of the committee on Judicial procedure of the American Bar association. In an address be- fore the Mississippi Bar association al Vicksburg on Wednesday, MT. Shelton asserted:
 ''This country needs fewer lawsl and more real men; less jural regu- lations and more moral senNbillty; flower codes and mere decalogues."
 And this is true, as anyone who observes the signs of the times realizes.
 M... Shelton declared the country is oming to period of statutory morals of justification of any act not pro .ibited by statute, and made a plea for a revival of a sense of per solal, private and public duty, de- claring "this is a preventive age in everything except social relations.
 The Virginia attorney certainty shits the nail on the head" A suc- cessful man can do almost anything and "get by" insofar as society IS concerned, providing he does not tangle himself with the law. It does not see1a so much question of rlght and wrong, as whether it is lawful or unlawful. Society has place for the nan who can "skin" the ignorant and weak in business deals, but It mas not yet made a place for the nigh wayman.
 ,Jt has not been SO many years ago when people had the courage 'o ostracise those who violated the moral laws. They haven't now. lhey want to shift the responsibility to the statute books. The women who make a misstep, or the poor "glnK who steals a loaf to satisfy the cray ing of his stomach-of course, they're loo low to mingle in society; put those who are crafty enough to cloaA their crookedness in the proper sarp why society extends them g. warn welcome. The reason for this must be founa in the tendency to worship wealth instead of character. Parents are stunning responsl- '1,ility. Instead of rearing their chil- dren right at home, they let the Klos rim wild while they are chasihs around trying to enact law to oo what they should themselves ac- complish. Mr shelton seems to have ac- curately and clearly presenteu 'n case. --

Tie social evil can be suppressed tu a certain extent There's no doubt about that. Witness, Texarkana, Ark. a few years ago.

USED AMERICAN FLAG.
Lusitania Escaped Once by Sailing
 Under U. 5. COlOrs.

It was the steamer Lusitania whose flying of the American flag in Febru- ary on her way from Queenstown to Liverpool, in order to protect her against possible attack by German submarine caused considerable aston ishment on both sides of the ocean land resulting in a statement by the British foreign office justifying the use of a neutral flag under circum- stances such as these.
 The Lusitania was one of the larg- est ot fhe transatlantic liners, as we'll as one of the speediest. She was built in Glasgow in 1906 She was 7S5 feet long, SS feet beam and 50 feet deep. Her gross tonnage was 32,500 and her net tonnage 9,145. She was owned by the Cunard Steamship company, Limited, of Liverpool. Her captain was w. T. Turner.
 Kinsale. off which the Lustania was torpedoed, is seaport of Ire land, 13 miles southwest of Cork. II lies near the entrance of St. Georges channel, between Ireland and Eng land, through which transatlantic vessels pass on their way to Liver- pool
