DR.. martin Tells OF
AIM OF HUMAN LIFE

Under the auspices Of the American
Ethical Society a lecture of What
is Human Life For" was given in the
Majestic Theatre yesterday afternoon
by DR.. Alfred W. Martin. of the Amer
ican Ethical Culture Union. A large
audience attended the lecture.
"The pursuit of happiness is the
common aim Of life, !" said the speaker,
"but unless we seek to grasp only
the highest happiness that comes
through seeking Of highest ideals and
toward the vital things Of life there
is little achieved. The tendency in
that case is to fall backward and to
find out that the happiness sought
was not real happiness at all"
DR.. Martin quoted a number OF IA
nous philosophers among them Deint
Jesus. Budda, Mohamet, Confuscious
Tolstoi and others who constantly
preached that real happiness ooulC
never be attained without sacriiicia
service. zone must inwardly dedicat'
himself to righteous living. Happiness
will then follow" he said. In con
clusion he said:
1T is spiritual culture, our self de
velopment, and our relation to our fel
low man that answers the question
what is Human Life For.

Conflict in Reports May De-

FURTHER NEGOTIATIONS

BY BOND p. GEDDEs

United Press stan correspondent.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-A ques-

statements from the Italian and Aus
trian governments was squarely be-
fore the United States today regarding
the sinking Of the Italian liner AM
coma. That it must secure its own evil
dence in the case, regardless of Vi

Acceptance by the Austrian govern
ment of responsibility for the An

alternative but to conduct future dip
omatic negotiations with Austria.
The principal fact upon which any
action by the United States must be
predicated was still wheth-
er the Ancona was given proper warn
ng. The disputed question, whether
he AncOna's lifeboats were fired on
while being lowered and the ship al
a standstill, must also be cleared up
Because of the important differences
between the Italian and Austrian Off

resigned to a considerable Lapse OF

by the American government is de,

AGRICULTURE NOW
IMPORTANT STUDY
DR.. Hills OF Delaware College
Tells w. II. S. Students
of Advances in Trade
THANKSGIVING DAY
PROGRAMS OUTLINED

agricultural Education and It's De-
velopment in the United States" was
the subject of an address given this
morning at the opening exercises of
the Wilmington High School by Pro
fessor f. B. Hills, Of the agricultural
department Of Delaware College. Aside
from his talk the mornings program
was devoted TO rehearsing the Thanks
giving music to be sung by the school
at the Thanksgiving exercises on We'd
nesday morning, November "a. Miss
Nell c. Krumme directed the music
today.
Dr. Hills spoke Of the rapid devel-
opment that the study of agriculture
has made within the last fifteen OF
twenty years. He explained the vari-
GUS branches that make up the agri-
cultural course at the college mention
ing briefly horticulture, animal hus-
bandry, paint production, farm extern
sion work and soil fertility. "The ag-
ricultural course is as yet in an ex-
/ lperimental stage" said DR.. Hills, but
so rapidly is it becoming organized
and advanced that the course of a few
! years ought to bring about a wonder
full change in rural districts.
The rural problems and there are
many said DR.. Hills. ARE now at
/ tracing general attention and I might
say here that one Of the most import
ant aims and objects of the agricul-
tural course is for the betterment of
social. and industrial life Of rural
communities. We want to make our
rural life more satisfactory. more pro-
ductive and more contented so that
our young men and women will not
feel the call Of the city so strongly
but will be content to remain on their
farms and devote their line and at
tentions to producing the best"
Concerning the college extension
work, which is just beginning TO be
part of the agricultural course, DR.
Hills said it is meeting with great
opposition among the farmers repre-
senting the older generation. It ha,
. been found easier to make the worl
lof the branch felt more keenly b,
/ teaching the younger generation
[ However, in spite OF its being re

PENNSGROVE. n. J., Nov. 15.-Un-
less the proposed trolley line between
Pennsgrove and Salem can be laid in
record time. traffic problems threaten
to become serious here during the
winter for the thousands of workmen
to and from the powder plants, which
are from one to three miles from
town.
The streets and roads between the
town and the plants are already in a
terrible condition. and when the win
ter freeze-ups, with thaws and snow
and rain come. il is feared that they
will be nearly impossible. Special
trains are now run between the town
and the plants when the shifts of
workmen change. Many of the en-
ployes, however, depend upon the jit-
neys for transportation.
More than 100 jitneys have been
running here during the summer and
fall. In fact. close to 200 licenses have
been taken out by jitney drivers, bui
rarely have all of these cars been OF
