The Charge for

Although her chauffeur knew
Each one had blundered.
His not to make reply,
His not to reason why.
While she with groan and sigh,
Searching with eager eye,
Rode with six hundred
Shop girls to right of her,
Shop girls TO left of her,
shop girls in front of her,
While her heart thundered
Searching now here-now there
Hot in the MONDAY glare
All through the shops OF town
Shades of champagne brown.
With her six hundred
FLASHED gorgeous colors rare,
FLASHED as they turned in air,
Charming her senses there;
Charging outrageously;-
Wantonly plunderedl
did they keep light brocade
Shot through with gold and Jade,
Violet or satin?"
Reeled from the charge they made,
Shattered and sundered,
Then she rode back, but not
Not with six hundred.
When will its glory fade?
O, the wild charge they madel
All the world wondered.
Gone for the charge they made!
Gone for the light brocadel

The Bureau of Domestic and Foreign
Commerce at Washington has recently
made public a report ON the trans Pa
ciiic carrying situation by the American
Consul General at Hong Kong, George +.
Anderson, which ought not to be with
out effect in inducing Congress, when it
convenes in December, materially to
amend. if not to repeal altogether, the
La Follette-furuseth Seamen's Act. As
q result of the enactment Of this law,
the Pacific Mail Steamship Company has
discontinued its trans Pacific service and
disposed Of its ships heretofore engaged
in that trade. "Ihe removal of these
vessels from the trans Pacific rum" says
Mr.. Anderson, 'will precipitate a situa
tion of the gravest sort, involving a
stoppagc of practically all of the new
business in the Far East obtained by
the American manufacturers since the
beginnirg of the war, as well as inter
fering in most critical way with
American manufacturers securing certain
raw materials in this part of the world
The shortage of tonnage for the fall and
winter trade even with these vessels in
service would be acute and serious, and
would profoundly affect all Far Eastern
trade Without these vessels the situa-
tion will become simply impossible
This is the testimony Of an official
representative of the government who

SPIRIT OF THE

HAD THEIR DAY.

From the Snow Hill People
Politicians have had their day,
held their sway. and killed their prey,
and now it's time for business men
to take active measures to prevent
business starvation and political ma
nipulation;" says a writer in Leslies'
Weekly. The professional politician
has held forth in Worcester county
for the past thirty years. and it is now
time for the business men and tax
paying farmers to take charge Of the
government in Worcester county. The
nominees Of the people are not politi-
clans, but are fine representatives
of the business men and farmers of
the county and if elected will give the
people a business-like, economic and
efficient administration.

CONNECTING ROAD NEEDED.

From the Georgetown Sussex Repub-
lican.
The dupont road from the Maryland
State line to Georgetown is in course
of construction. which is proceeding
rapidly. All will concede that no
place in the world needs it more. The
county or State should have built il
long ago, but has failed to do so, and
we all will be under obligation to a
private citizen for doing what we
ourselves, as a county or as State
have failed to do The road is an as
sured fact and whatever may be ours
or anybody else's opinion. as TO the
wisdom or mode OF procedure in Sc
curing same, is now a matter of no
Importance as far as 1t concerns the
construction However as the road
comes near to Georgetown. and not to
the town, it is up to the town and
county to connect the town Herewith
with a street or roadway that will
compare favorably with the dupont
road itself. To do this it will be neces-
sary for the town to construct One-half
mile Of road to the town limits. and 1t
will be necessary for the county to
rebuild or reface the old piece Of stone
road on the LaureFroad as far as the
noint where it connects with the du-
Pont road.
The town. the people thereof, should
commence Immediately to agitate this
matter. While the contractors are on
the ground doing the work, it affords
the town and county an opportunity to
have this work done by the same con-
tractors who are completing the du-
Pont road. No doubt It could be con-
structed at this time at much less
cost than at any other time. Such a
road from the town to the dupont road
is needed. Now is the time; and the
people of the town should get busy
and urge the Town Council and the
Levy Court to at once take action in
the matter that its construction may
commence at an early date.

THAT ARABIC DIsAyOWAL.

mander who sank the White Star line steamship Arabic

loss Of life and property incident the commission Of
that maritime crime.
Such complete back-down relieves the diplomatic

murderous-minded submarine policy, Germany wan

dents which revealed in what slight regard the blood
