Trains "On Time"

The Pennsylvania Railroad op-
Grated 69,306 passenger trains in
the month of June, 1915, and 9O.7
per cent. of them arrived at their
destinations ION time" Ninety
four per cent. made the schedule
time of their runs. A train may
leave one terminal 5 minutes late,
make it's schedule time over a di-
vision, and arrive at destination
5 minutes late. Any train not
over two minutes late is counted
"on time
The Buffalo Division operated
971 trains in June and SO per cent
of them were on time. The Allie
gheny and the Monongahela Divi-
sions had 96.8 per cent. of their
trains on time, while the Bellwood
and Baltimore Divisions had re-
cords showing a fraction over 95
per cent. on time.
Ninety-nine per cent of the pas

SCHOOL TAXATION
REFORM NEEDED
Parent Teacher Associations
To Work For 1t

DR.. Charles A. Wagner, ad-
dressing the first Delaware State
Conference of the Parent-Teach-
ers' Association, on Wednesday af-
ternoon, declared with few minor
exceptions, the school system in
Delaware is the same that was
founded in 1928" The speaker
also contended that the school
taxation system in the State has
not been changed since 1928, al
though there have been unsuccess-
full attempts to change the system.
He urged the Parent-Teacher AS
sociations to arouse a sentiment
that will demand school taxation
system reform by the next Gen
eral Assembly.
DR.. Wagner, in the course OF his
talk, mapped out some lines OF
endeavor that the associations
might attempt locally during the
next year, and explained that
some of the subjects might suit
one association, and others an
other organization. Among sub
iects suggested were: attendance
continuation education; resump-
ton of old-time spelling bees, de-
bates, etc; equipment, standard OF
conditions in schools; school
lunches; encouragement of ath-
contests; saving banks in the
schools; sanitation; extension
work; taxation system; matter OF
special schools for the feeble
minded; vested authority in Della
letics; debating and defamation
ware school matters; health in
spection; teachers salaries ano
pensions; home gardening; music
manual training and domestic
science.
DR.. Wagner said there should be
in each county a supervisor OF
primary work to help the county

The Place Of Leg
umes In Delaware

Legumes are grown largely in
Delaware land proftably, but they
are not grown as largely as they
might be. Instead of bare lands
in winter in the orchard or after
corn and tomatoes and similar
crops, the land should be covered
with a legume. Instead of idle
land in summer, a legume like
cowpeas or soybeans or other nit
rogen-gatherer should be growing
on it. The anvient alchemist died
trying to find the philosophers
stone that should transmute the
baser metals into gold. His sue
cessor, in recent days, by using
microscope instead of an acid, dis
covered the microbe that trans
mutes aid and clods into food for
man and beast. These microbes
build fertilizer factories on the
roots of legumes-where billions
of willing workers toll to provide
us with food, clothing, comfort,
cash, education and civilization.
They are working to make the
world beautiful and luxurious,
and we ought to have gumption
enough to take advantage of their
labors. If we do not we deserve
J to be poor. We should dot despise
the day of small things, nor the
work of microbes.
Delaware farmers were the first
to raise crimson clover for hay,
s for seed and to improve the fertil-
| ity of the soil. For years they have
made use of cowpeas for the same
1 purpose. Probably in no state
are these and number of other
legumes more extensively or intel
ligently employed than here. But
I still more can be made of them es-
1 pecially as commercial crops. A
bean that sells for cash is as
3 good a soil improver, it will catch
| as much nitrogen and create as
s much humus, as a bean that is
simply turned under to decay
J String beans, lima beans, field
4 beans, garden peas, canning peas
! are all good commercial crops in
. many places that are no more fav'
4 orable for their profitable produc,
Y tion than Delaware in soil, climate
Il and markets. 1t is true that one
D cannot grow a new crop with the
z best success at the first trial. But
4 legumes are gold, and should not
. be given up until every effort has
n been made to learn the secrets Of
j their production. Whatever the
& purpose of growing the crop, it is
4 not wise to be discouraged by {
S few failures. Success comes after
j many defeats. The nitrogen gath

crops that follow. If this is done

GIRL SHOWS HEROIC COURAGE

Queenstown-The brief time clap
sing between the torpedoing and
sinking of the Lusitania was long
enough to develop heroine in the
person of Miss Kathleen Kaye, IA
years old, returning from New York
where she had been visiting relatives.
With smiling words and reinsurance
she aided stewards in filling a boat
with women and children.
When all were in she climbed
aboard the lifeboat as coolly as an
able seaman. One sailor tainted at
his oar, as the result of hard race
to escape swamping. The girl took
his place. and rowed until the boat
was out of danger.
None among the survivors bears as
little sign of her terrible experiences
as Miss Kaye, who spends most of her
time comforting and assisting her
sisters in misfortune

John Ireland
is Acquitted

John Ireland was acquitted OF the
charge of battery at trial in the
district court Wednesday. The case
had been tried in the probate court
and Ireland was found guilty and
he appealed. The circumstances
have already been given in previous
issues of the paper, referring to John
Ireland and Byrd Trego exchanging
blows on the street.
The main witness for the prose-
cution, Mr.. Braley, went out in the
hills Sunday expecting to bs gone
a number of days, and on Monday
the case was set for trial on Wednes-
day morning, and the state went to
trial without having the only witness
who saw all the disturbance and how
it started. The result was that the
prosecution had only the unsupport-
ed testimony Of one witness on the
vital points in the case, disputed by
several witnesses for the defense,
most of whom admitted that they
saw only part of what happened.

STRUCK ADMIDSHIPS

Queenstown, May 10-Twenty-
three miles from this port as the
crow flies an irregular smear of fot-
sam on a calm sea marks the grave
of the Cunarder Lusitania, first
transatlantic liner sunk by a Ger
man submarine. Forty-nine of the
1900 souls who perished with her lie
in improvised morgues in old build
ings bordering Queenstown harbor.
They either were picked up dead or
succumbed after landing.
The 645 survivors here are quar-
tered in hotels, residences and hos
pitfalls, some too badly hurt to be
moved. Two groups left town Sat-
urday afternoon and evening clad in
misfit clothing, bound for Dublin by
rail and thence by boat to Holyhead.
The injuries of some are so serious
that additional deaths are expected,
and nearly all are too dazed to un-
derstand what has happened.
The survivors do not agree as to
whether the submarine fired one or
two torpedoes. A few say they saw
the periscope, though many atest to
tracing the wake of foam as the pro-
jectile came toward the vessel. The
only point in which all concur is that
the torpedo struck the vessel a vital

Cernlany's
Message to
United States

Berlin, via London-The following
dispatch has been sent by the Ger
man foreign office to the German
embassy at Washington:
please communicate the follow
ing to the state department:
'"The German government desires
to express its deepest sympathy at
the loss Of lives on board the Lusi-
tania. The responsibility rests, how
ever, with the British government,
which through its plan Of starving
the civilian population of Germany,
has forced Germany to resort to re-
taliatory measures.
"In spite of the German offer to
stop the submarine war in case the
starvation plan was given up, British
merchant vessels are being generally
armed with guns and have repeatedly
tried to ram submarines, so that a
previous search was impossible.
"They cannot, therefore, be treated
as ordinary merchant vessels. A
recent declaration made to the Brit
ish parliament by parliamentary Sec
retary in answer to question from
Lord Charles Bereford said at the
present time practically all British
merchant vessels were armed and
provided with hand grenades.
Besides it has been openly ad-
mitted by the English press that the
Lusitania on previous voyages re-
peatedly carried large quantities Of
war material. On the present voy-
age the Lusitania carried 54O0 cares
of ammunition, while the rest of the
cargo also consisted chiefly of con-
traband.
IF England, after repeated Off
cial and unofficial warnings, consid-
cred herself able to declare that that
boat ran no risk and thus light heart
edly assumed responsibility for the
human life on board steamer, which
owing to its armament and cargo
was liable to destruction, the Ger
man government in spite of it's heart
felt sympathy for the loss of Ameri-
can lives cannot but regret that
Americans felt inclined to trust to
English promises rather than to pay
attention to the warnings from the
German side.

CORONER'S VERDICT

Kinsale, May 10-The coroner's
jury, investigating the deaths upon
the loss of the Lusitania, returned
the following verdict: "The jury find
this appalling crime was contrary to
international law and conventions OF
all civilized nations, and we here
fcharge the officers of the submarine,
the German emperor and the govern
,ment of Germany under whose orders
they acted, with the crime of wilful
and wholesale murder"

ENGLISH STATESMAN CALLS
1T WHOLESALE MURDER

London, May 10-Andrew Bonar
Law. leader of the opposition in the
house of commons, in speech, said:
"Our enemies have reached degree
of infamy eliminating in the destruc-
ton of the Lusitania which it is sim
ply hopeless to describe. This is not
warfare. 1t is simply murder, most
foul, most unnatural"
He added, What will happen now?
United States, is the neutral country
most closely affected by the latest
outrage. The simple fact is that citi-
zens of that great country have been
barbarously murdered. 1t is not for
me to say what their action ought to
be, but l feel sure the United States
will be guided not merely by none
tary interests, but by feelings as to
what is due to great nation among
other nations of the world"

Many children and little babies
