Austrians working in munition fac

outlaws without first providing the
necessary machinery for acQuainting
them with the fact that they were
violating the laws of their country ''
TO accomplish this the Ambassador
proposed IAN educational campaign
by personal contact and explanation
and through the newspapers published
in this country in the foreign Lam
guagc with which they are familiar.
DR.. Dumba then expressed solicitude
for his countrymen compelled to leave
the munitions factories. They must
be provided for, or become a public
charge. Il may be assumed that on
that score the agents employed in the
educational campaign" would be
authorized to reassure the Austrian
subjects who were violating Para
graph 327 of the Military Penal Code.
DR.. Dumba goes on to say in his let
ter to Secretary Lansing:
Il was accordingly instructed TO
use every proper means of dissuading
our citizens from committing this
crime Of high treason against the
country to which they owed their al
legiance in its hour Of greatest need. -
II is very singular that the most
accomplished member Of the Diplo-
matte Corps at Washington could not
or would not, see that he was play
ing with fire. He must be presumed
to have known that the treaty with
Ausrtia-Hungary which was proclaim
ed in 1881 provided that Austrians in

in Austria) were to enjoy In their
pursuits and occupations the same
security protection and privileges as
natives of the country wherein they
reside AS a student Of our institu-
tions he should have known that the
United States Government would not
tolerate any attempt by the Austrian
Ambassador to menace his country
men engaged in lawful pursuits here
with an Austrian military penal law.
But it was not his intention to stop
at inducing Austrian workmen TO
leave the munition plants as patriots
and for their own physical liberty and
safety. He planned first, the preven-
tion of war material production, and,
failing that. disorganization and Grip
pling of the plants There is no rub
bing it out. The letter to Count Burian
is a complete answer to anything he
has written in his own behalf in the

tions we're discovered before any
steps had been taken to stop or hold

DR.. Dumba's Defense
From the New York SUM

The AustroHungarian ambassador.
DR. Constantn H. Dumba, does not
seem to realize that the brief in his
behalf which he has transmitted, ap-
parontly on his own initiative TO Sec
retary Lansing will be read i'm the
light of the secret communication that
was entrusted to Archibald for de-
livery TO Count Burian, the Austro-
hungarian Minister of Foreign At
fairs. In that intercepted document
Dr. Dumba said, among other things
- am under the impression that we
could, h not entirely prevent the pro-
duction of war material IN Bethlehem
and in the middle West. at any rate
strongly disorganize it and hold It up
for months, which, according to the
statement Of the German Military At
tache, is of great importance, and
which amply outweighs the relatively
small sacrifice of money"
Accompanying the letter to Count
Burian was E. memorandum received
by COnsul-General Won Nuber from the
editor of a local influential paper"

PLAYING WITH DEADLY DISEASES.

T1ROPER protection against tuberculosis and trach-
oma, dread diseases that threatened the lives and
health not only Of American Indians but American
citizens in their vicinity delayed an entire year
by the Democratic Congress
Failure OF the Democrats in the first session OF the
present Congress 10 the Indian appropriation bill
until late in The summer prevented the Indian Bureau
from letting contracts for tuberculosis and trachoma
hospitals promptly, and their construction had to go
over to the following session.
IN urging the immediate necessity for these hospi
tails officials from the Indian Bureau testified to mem
bers Of Congress that entire Indian tribes might be
wiped out if the at disease among them were
not checked IL was also claimed that the lack Of ade
quate facilities for quarantine was a menace to thou
sands Of citizens in communities near the various
reservations.
In spite of these alarming warnings, the passage Of
the bin was delayed week after week. The money was
still unapproprated at the close the fiscal year. and
twice for periods two weeks temporary appropria-
tons were passed. Under neither of these however
could anything be done toward providing the hos
piials
BY the time the bill finally passed. it too
late to bids and let for the proposed
isolation and sanitary hospitals, and they were not
built until the next year
This is but instance of the many disastrous
effects caused by sovenly Democratic methods in
handling Indian appropriations Not only hospitals but
dormitories. school buildings, agency quarters and
other similar structures set back year in
struction
Furthermore the Democrats failed to pass this year

preparation became necessary, forcing the Indian Bu-
reau TO conduct It's affairs plans nearly two years
old, and thus putting untold check upon its ell

Grade "A apples was $2.7O per barrel
while at Syracuse the lowest price
was SO per barrel for a small orchard
of Grade "A apples composed OF Ben
Davis and Greetings.
Every orchard catalogued was
sold that had previously been in
spected by the buyers"
Some Of the papers published in the

growers believe that this system is
not good for them, and exult over the
fact that buyers have been picking
up the finest orchards at $3.50 to

are making no mistake in parting

which show a nice profit. II $3.50

many voters came here ON Tuesday that
We're not well enough posted TO have
knowledge to vote their own ticket. In
other words they had no interest in the
primaries; they simply voted as other

marked by Orner men. We wish to say
TO men who do not take interest enough
in a primary election to know how YOU
want TO vote without being told. to post
yourselves SO that you will know or for
the love of your country, don't vote
let them vote that do know or at least
think they know. The present primary
system was brought about in order to
do away with the ring leaders, but il
seemed Tuesday that it had fell short
and It is no fault of the law. The fault
lies directly as above mentioned; igno

Political Dynamite i'm
The Mexican Situation
From the Washington Postl

The Mexican situation grows more
complicated with every turn of the ka-
leidoscope. and however long the ad-
ministratiOn may continue TO watch
and wait the colorings will neither
be more pleasing nor the results more
symmetrical.
Away in the beginning Huerta's ad-
ministration was refused recognition
by our government, and his illegal ac-
cession to power was directly stated
as the reason for refusing recognition.
The government of the United
States was in agreement with villa,
Zapata, Carranza and numerous other
Mexican patriots of the same brand,
that Huerta was not legally i'm power
in Mexico and that it was not only
tho duty of this government but of
all loyal Mexicans to oust him.
If this government was right then 7;
If these MeXicans were right then,
nothing has occurred since that could
in any way render Huer.as admins
tration a legal administration nor one
to be accorded recognition by their
government or by patriotic Mexicans
-Mexicana devoted to the "constitu-
cion. Libertad Y independencia"
With due regard to our own nation
al consistency and our own respect
for international law and considera-
tion for the Mexican people, this. gov
eminent cannot well take the position
now that the Mexican people must be
sadd'ed with the debts contracted by
that illeg Huerta administration.
whether these debts are due to French
citizens or British, German or Span
ish subjects.
Some very ugly rumors are afioat as
to designs TO arrange a peace for
Mexico that will contemplate the
recognition by an administration to
be established in that country of
debts which were contracted by this

MAP OUT A COURSE.

From the Newark Ledger.
The young man and the young wo-
man who do not intend TO attend some
school or college this year. should
map out course of reading or study.
II need not cost any great sum. A
few hours week should be given to
reading Of profitable books. You
would be surprised at the amount of
reading you can do during the long
Water evenings.
To begin, map out a course OF read
ing. II you need help as to the
best books, apply to one Of the pro-
fessors Of English at Delaware Col
lege. We feel sure you will get the
help you need In the Bulletin of
the State Board of Education. will
give you a list of hooks for reading
and study. This list was prepared
by DR.. w. o. Sypherd, professor OF
English Delaware College. and
George S. Messersmith, formerly
principal of Newark public schools.
This list is very complete.

ing.
Evening journal., 1915-09-21

Huerta administration which our own
government refused TO recognize, and
which it united with zapata. Carranza
and villa forces to overthraw.
II is known that villa and Zapata
are opposed to recognition of these
debts created by an illegal admins
tration.
1t has been stated that Carranza
was opposed to such recognition, as
naturally he wauld be.
The question comes up, then, If the
three warning factions of Mexico are
opposed TO recognition Of these debts
Of the Illegal Huerta administration,
who is il that stands for their pay
ment?
Is It possible that the United States
Government proposes to support the
collection Of debts incurred by an ad-
ministration it declared Illegal and
refused to recognize?
Is IL possible that promise of recog-
milton is held out TO any faction or
candidate for Provisional President
of Mexico based upon fastening the
debts of an illegal administration
upon the poverty-stricken people OF
Mexico?
Far better that watching and wait
ing in Mexico should continue for
centuries to come than that our gov
ernment should plunge deeper into
the mire in Mexico or exercise bad
faith with any action or factions or
do as Napoleon III did, despoil Mexico
to collect French claims that had no
legal standing.
The Mexican situation is today
charged with more political dynamite
on both sides Of the Rio Grande than
at any time since Madero began his
insurrection. It is pregnant with the
fate Of parties and the regulations of
individuals.

To those who know the facts, and
there are thousands who do know them
in both Kent and Sussex counties,
statement of this character is not only
ridiculous, but it is branded as a plain
lie, told for a narrow purpose, to create
false sentiment against General du
Pont. First: Mr.. DUPONT -s not asking
to be permitted to give the boulevard;
it is the people. both Democrats and Re-
publicans, joining in petition and re-
quest personally that he build the road

of way are brought to him without any
contests OF lawsuits. is that what is
troubling the Index writery Second:
There are only a very, very few in Sus-
sex county who do not favor the plan of
having a re-enforced concrete road built
and given to the state, and on the other
hand there is only a few in the entire
State who want the State to issue a
million dollars of bonds to build q road,

wards; and, of that few. the Index
writer professes TO be one-but even
that we doubt, for the past record Of the
Index shows no tendency toward any
real plan or method to get better roads
even in the county. The majority of the
men behind the effort TO get the dupont
highway built through Sussex county
are Democratic lawyers and Democratic
business men, and this fact gives the lie
TO the Index statement fat faced. Pub
