THE day is not far distant when the
women shall come into their own, and be
accorded the right to express their de-
sires as to state and county government,
as well as the right they now have to
vote in most of the towns and schools Of
Delaware. The discussion of this subject
which is announced to take place in
Armory Hall next Friday evening, No
vember 18th, between George B Hynson
for the affirmative and DR.. John S. Pret-
lyman on the negative end of the ques-
ton will be interesting and enlightening,
and the people should awaken to the
questions of Importance and become ia
miliar with all the points both pro and
con. We believe that only good will come
from women taking part in our elections
it has proved the rule in other states and
there is no reason why Delaware should
be an exception. In the eastern states
which have passed upon the question, it |
was only by the exertions of the demor- |
ilizing interests of business, or political |
control, that prevented the result from
being favorable to the women. The great
state of Pennsylvania gave nearly three
hundred thousand votes in favor of en-
franchising the women, and only de-
feated the law by less than forty three
thousand votes. More than thirty of the
counties went in favor, but the city of
Philadelphia defeated the women. They
need have no disappointment over the
result of the elections so far held, for
they show that there are men who recog-
nize that they are entitled to a fair deal
and will gather more to the same way of
thinking. The discussion next Friday
night in Milford should be one of the
opening wedges and educate more women
and more men to the real benefits of hav-
ing women vote. Is not woman capa-

man who works under her direction? Be
fair with the women. Get all the infor-
nation along the line possible, and be :
ready to meet the question when it comes a

at no distant day. God speed the women S
IN their efforts for right and justice.

KENT COUNTY LEVY COURT

At the monthly session of the Kent
County Levy Court on Tuesday OF
last week the finance committee re-
ported that the matter of allowing
a per diem allowance for Kent Coun-
ty girls being maintained at the Girls
Industrial School at Claymont, had
been taken up with the Sussex Coun-
ty Court, and as soon as the Kent
County Levy Court hears of the ac-
tion of the Sussex Court some definite
plans will be decided upon.

county almshOuse appeared before the
court with some of the trustees ask
ing for an appropriation to repair a
roof on the two wings of the mems
building. The court allowed $3.50 for

DR.. E. Richmond Steele of Dover,
member of the State Board of Health,
asked for the use of a room in the
Kent County Court House for tenn
pOrary quarters of the State Board |
of Health He stated that it was de- |
sired that the equipment, including |
the records of the State Board, be |
t. transferred to Dover. and as there |
WAS no room in the State House for |
such quarters it was thought possible |
that a room could be secured in the |
county court house for such records. |
1t was intimated by DR.. Steele, that at
the next Legislature, wing might be
added to the State House for the ac-
of additional State Of
fees and boards.
DR.. Steele said the main objection

Bulk Of Defenders Retire to Monte
negro Before Furious onsIaughts.
Shattered by their five weeks OF
lighting with the Austro-Germans and
Bulgarians, the bulk of the enemy's
forces in northern Serbia are retreat
Ing toward Montenegro.
Their course is taking them into
Sanjak Of Novibazar, where though
the AustriaTs are striving strenuously
to cut them off, the country is broken
and almost impossibly difficult for
regular campaigning, there are rea-
sonable chances of their escape.
The Teutonic and Bulgar armies in
northeastern Serbia are devoting
themselves to clearing that section
of the country of scattered Serb
bands, whose guerrilla attacks are
still troublesome.
The Austrians have before them an
offensive campaign to complete their
conquest of the northwestern portion
of the Serb l.ingdom.
Terrific fighting continues in half a
dozen different zones in Serbia. The
Bulgarians claim to have inflicted
heavy losses upon the Anglo-French
forces south of Veles (Kopsulu) and
west of the Varder valley.
Newspapers of Berlin, as quoted by
the correspondent at Copenhagen Of
the Exchange Telegraph company say
that the allies already have landed
100000 men at Salonika.

please add that the new cabinet
accepts as its own the declarations of
former Premier Zaimis regarding the
friendly attitude of the royal govern
