seven daughters may be considered a
very well-disguised blessing. particu-
larly when the middle one is such a
hoyden that she places her sisters ro-
mantle chances in further Jeopardy
by being expelled from the convent
school. That Is what the naughty
Mici, portrayed by Marguerite Clark.
does in the play. She escapes from
the school and attends a masked ball.
where she meets Count Feri Horkoy.
On her return she is caught and dis
missed and sent home. This starts all
the trouble for a widowed mother OF
seven sisters. who on seeing Mici re-
turn in q beautiful dress. realizes that
unless she is placed in the background
her elder sisters would never have the
chance to marry. The stern mother
promptly shortens her dress. let's
down her hair and bids her abandon
all hopes of a lover until her older
sisters have all been disposed of.
Thereupon the rebellious Mici enters
into conspiracy with Count Horkoy
(who is. by the way, very much sur
prised to see her in childrens dress)
to provide husbands for her senior sis
ters at the earliest possible moment
promising him kiss with each be-

The heavy fog this morning inter-

DIR. HENSEY'S PAPER
RAISES QUESTION

An interesting discussion as to
what should be the term OF the office
of district superintendents took place
this morning at the first meeting Of
the fall season of the Wilmington
Episcopal Preachers Association in
Grace Church. The discussion fol-
lowed the reading of a paper by the
Rev. George A. Cooke, pastor of
Wesley NJ. r. Church. Il wss re-
view of a book by the Rev. DR.. j. A.
Hensey on "The District Superintend-
ant-An Asset or Liability. DR..
Hensey says in his book that the
district superintendent is a real asset
and not a useless office as is held by
some MethOdists. Mr.. Cooke strongly
supported him in this conclusion.
DR.. Hensoy believes that the eff
cheney OF the district superintendent
could be mudh increased by having
the time limit Of his appointment re-
moved as has been done in the case
OF the ministers. Mr.. Cooke strongly
opposed this and said that IL would
tend to make a life job OF the Office
and give too much power TO one man.
He thought that the real usefulness OF
the position depended a great deal on
the man in the Office and his manage
ment OF affairs.
The Revs. j. W. Easily. G.. T.

DESPITE RELEASE
City Judge Holds That Put

Legal Protection
WAR IN EUROPE
COMPLICATES CASE

Judge Churchman IN City Court to-
day handed down an exhaustive opin-
ion in the case of Charles Sisczka,
who was charged by Mary Krel with
being the father of her child. and also
charged with non-support of tho child.
AS a defense Sisczka had offered a
release signed by the girl It was
said that he was to have paid the girl
500. but had given her only SIS.
Judge Churchman quoted from
numerous authorities and held that a
release by the mother to the putative
father of a child in criminal law and
was invalid and could not bar an
action against the putative father for
the support of the child under the
non-support law
The court said that according to
his knowledge it has been the prac-
tice in this State for twenty years for
such releases to be issued, but the re-
7 leases had not received judicial or
/ legislative recognition.
The war in the old world compli-
Gated the case. as the woman was
born in Galicia and IL was impossible
to secure definite information as TO
her exact age because Of the great
conflict. She is about p years OF
age.
Judge Churchman said that the or
der already made in the case of 81
week for the support of the child
would stand.
]. Frank Ball. counsel for Sisczka
had taken an appeal as a result OF
which today's opinion was handed
down. He said he appreciated the
evident care the Judge had taken in
preparing the opinion. Judge Church
man said he had taken three weeks
to consult authorities and TO prepare
/ the opinion.

JAPAN FRIENDLY, BIG
TRADE OPPORTUNITY

Senator Willard Salisbury, who
on Friday returned with Mrs Sauls-
bury from a trip to the Philippines,
Japan and China, says he found only
friendliest feeling in japan toward
the United States and that promi-
nent officials there declared that ia
pan would stand By the open door
policy. The Senator declared the
United States now had the great
est opportunity in its history for
trade with China and that every eff
fort should be made to take advan-
tage of 1t.
"All this talk Of the Japanese peril
is to my mind the veriest humbug," :"
said Senator Salisbury. "The Japa-
nese are very friendly to us, particu-
larly the educated people l am sure
that the responsible men in Japan do
not want to raise trouble with the
United States any more than we want
to raise trouble with Japan. The
Japanese are a very proud and SEN
sitive people.
Count Okums, who, | believe, is a
real friend of the United States, assured
me that Japan is in favor of the open.
door policy in China. and that this
country viii carry out every treaty pro
vision with America
fright now we have in China the op
portunity of our lives as against Chi
nese trade with Japan, which has. / un
derstand. been reduced many millions by
the boycotts brought about because oi
the resentment over the 2l demands
japan made upon China"
Reverting to the subject of military
preparedness by this country. Senator
Salisbury said
THE American people want a big
navy and should have It. | am an ar
dent supporter of the plan to build a
large navy in this country, and we
should have an efficient navy, not for
offensive purposes, but for defense.
America is not a conquest-seeking
country. The American people want
TO be let clone. even if they have to
fight for it. but for defense we should
be always prepared.
Il do not advocate any special kind
OF navy. A board composed Of the ma
tion's most skillful naval men should
be appointed to select the ships we
need. Then it should be put up to
Congress in a bill. and I know they
will favor a larger navy. The loca-
tion of this State on the Atlantic
naturally causes the people of Della
ware to want TO be in c position to
protect themselves and their prop
erty. To make sure Of that there
must be an increase in our defenses.
This country is insisting on its
rights from every warning Power in
the same degree. The United States
should 90 to any extent to avoid war

overlooked, particularly where it in
