AUSTRIAN susMAR'NE SINKS
FRENCH WAR8AlP AND SIS.
TER CRAFT ls STRUCK.
FIRST FRENCH SHIP LOST
RouMANiA CONTINUES PLAN TO
JOIN ALLIES IN THE
CONFLICT.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
London. Jan. Ian official d.
patch from the Berlin war office says:
Vienna reports state that 1t has been
ascertained that the French dread
nought Courbet was hit by the Aus
trian submarine No. II. The Courbet
was rammed by her sister ship. the
Jean Bart. which was attempting to
tow her. The Courbet sank. The
Jean Bart docked At Malta, badly DAM
aged.
THE French pretend that only the
Jean Bart was slightly hurt by tor
pedo, concealing the loss Of the Cour-
bet.'
The Courbet was of 23.467 tons dis
placement, and was armed with twelve
l2.inch guns, twenty-five 5h-inch guns
and four 3-pounders. She was built In
1911 and carried complement Of 998
men.
This is the first modern French war
ship lost during the war.
The cost Of the Courbet was $12,541.-
$40. and the vessel carried four tor
pedo tubes.
Only . change in the weather or the
entrance into the war Of Roumania or
Italy, or both. is likely to bring about
any marked change in the military sit
uation in Europe for some time to
come.
What turn the weather will take no
one can predict. but the belief is grow
ing in those countries allied against
Germany. Austria and Turkey. that
Roumania. with her well-trained army
of not less than 100000 men, will
throw herself into the conflict At an
early date.
This in effect, would link Roumania
with the extreme Russian left now
forcing it's way into Hungary through
Bukowina.

THE prompt trial and conviction Of
the man who shot down a policeman
who was attempting to arrest him in the
City of Wilmington, and the prompt
sentence of that murderer to pay the
penalty of his crime by hanging, has
done much to create a respect for law
and the meeting out of justice through
the courts of Delaware. For many years
the lawyers presented technicalities in
conducting even the most vicious cases
for murder, and the courts had permit
ted the practice of postponements, until
many criminals had escaped the penalty
of their crimes through loss of evidence,
or lack of public interest, and for that
reason the criminals had grown to be-
lieve that with a shrewd lawyer to
defend them, they stood fair chance of
escaping punishment. This finally re-
suited in the burning of the negro near
Wilmington several years ago, and when
this almost double murder in Whining
ton took place last month, the Attorney
General promptly assured the people
that quick trial and justice should be
meeted out, and that alone saved
another lynching in Delaware. The
courts deserve credit for prompt dis
position of the case, and we believe that
this will help to deter criminals who |
seemed to have the opinion that Will
mington was a good field for their
harbor, and a point to operate from.
Quick hanging of murderers, and the
whipping post, are our safeguards against
hat class Of people.

IRRIGATION FOR STRAWBERRIES.

There Is probably very little informa
tion at hand regarding the value of
irrigation for Strawberries in this state
In southern New Jersey certain growers
who have installed overhead irrigation
have found it very profitable, and con-
ditions are not much different here. In
order to determine experimentally this
year whether artificial watering will
pay on the various soils of Sussex
County, the State Experiment Station.
thru County Agent Pelton, is prepared
to undertake a few small trial plots in
different parts Of the county. The
Station can furnish trial irrigation lines
Of fifty foot length, providing water
under pressure can be obtained. Such
a line, with sufficient pressure, should
water an area fifty by fifty feet.
which would be sufficient to determine
the effect on berries. The co-operator
would be expected to furnish posts for
support of the pipe, to furnish connec-
tions with his water system, to Is e
care Of the outfit, ard to
return it in good condition at the end
Of the season. Under certain co
ditions the pipe might be used after tue
berry season in the growing of vegets-
oles, for which irrigation has been
most widely used. Mr.. Pelton will be
glad to hear from few berry growers
Who can comply with these conditions. :

EVERY citizen, each town and all com.
munities are interested in one of the
most worthy charities existing in Della
ware, the Delaware Industrial School for
Girls. This institution has done splen
did reform work for scores of girls from
all parts of Kent and Sussex Counties,
and we personally know of several now
in that school, beirg cared for and in
structedtin industrial pursuits and taught
the need of living clean, virtuous lives.
From Milford we know of one bright
girl who will in all probability come
from the school and 90 out into the
world to take her place as a good, and
wiser woman. Her sister has already
gone from the school, and is married to
a fine man who is creating a good home
where they are both happy; and these
girls went from a house where prostitu-
ton, drinking, and carousing were so
common that the authorities raided it.
placed the mother under bail. and had
the girls committed to the Delaware
Industrial School for Girls, which is
located near Wilmington. This is bring
ing the facts home, but the purpose is
to arouse the people of Kent and Sussex
Counties to the fact that this splendid
reformatory and charity is financial en-
barrassed, and needs prompt assistance
of ready cash. These facts have been
brought to light by a statement from
Mrs. Charles Curtis, who is in charge of
the management. The legislature failed
to provide an appropriation to help the
school, other than supplying the money
to pay interest upon the debt contracted
in erecting the buildings for the school
Here is what should be done in addition
to individual contributions, viz: each |
incorporated town should draw warrant
in favor of the Delaware Industrial |
School for Girls at Wilmington, fol |
fifty dollars, and send it at once to the
managers. 1t would help just that
much. and as a matter of fact, the
amount would be only what most towns |
already owe for the keeping, training
and saving of girls who once were fes
tering spots of immortality in the town.
Milford certainly should send a CON
tribution as justiiable expenditure of
money for work done for the town. We
hope that our charitable people will act
in behalf of the school, for it
S splendid thing to save a girl from a
-uined life. 1t is better than giving to
ioreign missions even, and they are
worthy. Act now in behalf of the Della
ware Industrial School for Girls; it's
ieeded.

THE snow fall of last Saturday in this
section totaled in all about one foot on
the level, and it came after period oi
three weeks dry weather as a relief to
vegetation, which was almost dormant
because of lack of moisture, which had
been dried out by the high winds Of
March. The melting snow supplied the
water that grass, wheat, and plants
needed, and even in the twenty-four
hours the snow lay upon the ground, all
kinds of vegetation sprung forth in
green and beauty; it was like trans
formation scene. The benefit to wheat
alone means great things to the farmers.

WORDS and expressed phrases are but
little comfort in time of business misfor-
tune or financial loss through the ravage
of fire, and we feel that in attempting to
express our sympathy with the Sunday
Star at the calamity which came to its
plant last Tuesday, when fire swept
through a part of its work rooms, and
caused loss of valuable property, and
untold discomfort and inconvenience to
the only Sunday newspaper in Delaware,
we are adding but little real comfort to
those who must meet the situation. We
have been in a newspaper office for thir-
ty-seven and more years, and realize in
a measure the real loss that fire is to
the mechanical department of printing
plant. The insurance is only small
part towards replacing the business.
The sympathy of the Chronicle for the
Star in this calamity needs no other
expression.

THE hardest blow ever struck to the
liquor business is the decision of the
King and leading officials of England
demanding that a ban be placed upon
the liquor traffic as one of the most ef-
fective means of shortening the great
war now raging in Europe. Russia has
stricken all liquor selling and use of
alcohol as a drink from its territory, and
France has laid ban upon liquor selling
or drinking in that country; and now
the greatest user of alcoholic liquors of
any country in the world, England, has
recognized the liquor business as its
greatest foe, and will stop the business;
the King and the Army have already
disbarred all liquor using, and a great
wave of enthusiasm has rolled over the
empire which will wipe the business off
the map. Total prohibition seems to be
the only effective way to protect the
people against the abuse of liquor, and
here in the United States that course
will be effective before FIVE years roll by
