Judge Merritt W. Pinckney deserves
reelection on his record.
~
Judge Joseph SABBATH has long been
regarded by The Eagle as one OF the
very best magistrates on the munici.
pal bench. We have often taken &C.
cason to call attention TO the many
good public qualities OF our friend
and now that he Is candidate for
election 10 the Circuit bench, We hope
that he will be elected, He Is emf
nently qualified for the place, as he
Is able, just and humane. Nominated
as a Democrat he is entitled to the
votes of all members of that party.
Judged by his past record, he is en-.
titled TO the votes OF members OF all
parties,
Judge Charles A. williams has
PLEASED his friends by his fne record
on the Municipal bench.
Thomas Taylor, Jr., would make a
good Circuit Judge.
~
Thomas G.. Windes, who is every
inch a Judge, as he has shown in his
many years service on the Circuit
Bench, will undoubtedly be reelected
by large majority. He certainly de-
serves 10 be.
Francis d. Connery VIII make good
comptroller OF the Sanitary District
>dA
Mckenzie Cleland, the able former
Judge, is man who Is never afraid
to stand up for what he believes TO
be right.
Charles X. Francis was appointed
city attorney and will succeed y. l.
Piotrowski. His appointment does moi
need TO be confirmed by the Council

PARIS, Jan. 23.-French shells have
wrecked portions of the bridges across
the Mcuse at St. Aiihiel. Violent cam
nonadng is making the German posi-
tion ON the west bank OF the Meuse
an uncomfortable one and the French
are preparing TO resume their drive
against the German wedge whose point
rests on st. AIihiel.
This was the substance of official
claims today fatty contradicting the
German official statement yesterday that
the "enemy has been cleared from the
front of St. Mihiel."
That the French were forced.to evacu-
ate trenches in the st. Mihiel region Is
admitted here, but the retirement was
for distance of less than 200 yards
according TO the war office. The posi-
tion OF the French guns has not been
appreciably shifted and the lombard

is becoming more effective.

The letter follows:
Dear Strive. the Methodist
Preachers Association OF Wilmington.
Delaware, representing a constituency
of more than $4,000, enter our em-
phatic protest against the Gormley
bill now before the Legislature. which
proposes to grant liquor licenses 10
organized clubs.
rs Is a well known fact that sell
inG liquor in clubs. directly or in
directly. is one of the worst forms
of the liquor evil and should not be
sanctioned by the law. Neither is
there any necessity for this extension
ol the business, as there are sufficient
opportunities to secure intoxicating
drinks already. And in the name of
this large constituency we earnestly
protest against the passage of the
bill

ROAD TO RIVER
now Seems ASSURED
ROuteOut ChriStiana Avenue
May Go Closer to
LObdell Plant
PIER NEAR P. R. R.
PROPERTY THE PLAN

Definite action regarding the pro-
posed road TO the river will shortly
be taken by City Council and the
Chamber of Commerce. Formes
County Comptroller Philemma Chan
dler is the originator of the idea. His
idea is that when the new Third
street bridge is built that the city
should continue the road out Chris
tiana avenue to the river front. 1t
had been deemed advisable to go d.
rect TO the river, but there is a possi-
bility that the route will be changed
so that the street may pass back of
the Lobdell Car Wheel Company's
plant to a point north of the Read
ing Railroad Company's pier. The
reason for this change is that the
depth of water at that point is great
or than at the place first proposed
to build the river pier.
II is understood that the owner of
the ground along the present route
will donate the right of way. By hav-
ing the river pier built and tho road
to the river, it is pointed out the pos
sibilities for Wilmington's growth
will be realized. In speaking of this
proposed improvement, a leading con-
tractor said today that he believed
! the road and pier can be built Tor
/ less than $4,000.
The interest on such a sum and a
| sinking fund of 1000 year would
amount TO about 10 cents a year on
each voter in the city of Whining
ton. The question of a road TO the
river has been agitated for years, but
nothing definite was ever done.

German SUPPLY ship
sunk BY BRITISH Guns
BY The United Press.

hA Inc Jnlte0 fTehH.
LONDON. Jan. 23-The Admiralty
Office today announced that an un-
namel British battleship has sunk q
supply ship for the German cruisers
operating in the Pacific, in Austral-
ian waters. The crew was imprisoned.
No details we're given. The German
ship, the Admiralty added. was sunk
on January 6.
The success OF the Emden IN elud-
ing for so long a period capture by
British war vessels spurred the Ad-
mlralty after the Emden's destruc-
tion. to search for the supply ships
which aided the sea raiders. The
converted cruiser Prinz Joachim and
the cruiser Bremen were known 10
be in Pacific waters, presumably re-
ceiving supplies from auxilisries Il
Is probably one of their supply ships
