DELAWARE is ripe for radical change
in much of its method of government as
to the plan of assessments, the levying
and collection of taxes, the school system
and especially the manner and system OF
building and maintaining public roads and
highways. 1t is se!f-evident to every
man or woman who studies the real cause
for failure to get better results in the eff
forts to have reforms in these lines of
State and county government, that it is
the system that is mostly at fault The
ways of our forefathers were all right in
their day; but we have very different
conditions in these times of 1915. While
the stage coach was ample and satisfying
as a method for travel seventy five years
ago, the same system of travelling would
be real calamity to the people of this
present day and generation. The largest
county in Delaware, Sussex, has thrown
off the shackles Of antiquity in its assess
ment and tax receiving systems, and the
evidence is clearer each recurring season
that the people recognize the injustice of
the present system of levying school
taxes and that the plans now in vogue
are operating against getting better re-
turns from the money spent for public
school education. This has been realized
by the people of Kent county to very
large extent, but the hold of the politi- |
cal party in power was too great to pull |
that county out into the road leading to |
a business system of county government
along similar lines. tits coming rapidly.
and the next legislature will institute for
he people of Kent county a new era in
is tax collections, in its assessment svs-
em, and we hope, in its road and high
way construction and maintainance. We
lave examples by the dozen of the lack of
BUSINESS acumen in the management of
he highways of Kent county, and the
lain truth must be confessed, here in
Delaware we have no system worthy of
be name, for the building for the main
linance after grading, or repairing of
f roads of any kind; it is all up to the
experienced desire of dozen indiyid-
ais, working under so called road engin-
ers, who are not responsible to anyone

The first Of these two men who were
near 10 LOSING their lives on that
e4entful day was General French; the
second was Colonel Haig. II these Two

today would be very different from
what It is. For il WAS French Who
managed that astounding retreat from
Mons and who kept the Germans out
Of Calais; and II was Haig who, after
French, has gained more personal
glory in the European war chan any
ether British general.
Haigs rise to fame has been a
brilliant dash. He holds the record
for promotion among cavalry Off
GERS, having risen in eight years from
captain to major general. So rapid
has been his ascent that he has been
called the Quickest man in the Brit

lucll' has become almost proverb
among soldiers. But 'luek' is an
unfair word in the present case.

Austria and Hungary
Hold Negotiations

Correspondence OF the Associated Press)
VIENNA, Nov. 6--Negotiatlons for the
renewal OF the commercial agreement be-
tween Austria and Hungary are slowly
proceeding between the commissioners of
the two states here The present Aus
gleich. or agreement, expires in 1917, but
II was specifically provided in the Aus
gieich law that Negotiations for renewal
were to begin at the latest in the early
part of 1915.
The AusgIeich arrangement provides for
the customssand commercial union OF the
two countries, and is quite separate from
the political union. which is permanent.
Under the Ausgleich the two states form
practically one commercial territory. with
the same coinage. weights and measures.
a Joint bank issue. and the same consular
representatives abroad, while the monop-
olies and taxes connected with Industrial
production are administered on identical
principles, The commercial arrange
ment began in 1857. was renewed in 1878.

reached. but in fact the agreement was
kept alive on the condition OF reciprocity,

Allies at Saloniki
Cordially Received

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.)
LONDON. Nov. e.-There was an inter
national flavor to the crowd which
watched the landing Of the first allied
troops at ssaioniki. a large number Of
English and American Red Cross workers
having come down from Belgrade and
Nish to await the course of events at
the Greek port. Several Of these eve wit
nesses reached England this week. Rev.
A. Fl. sewell. chaplain Of the Red Cross
detachments in Serbia. spoke in enthusi-
astic terms Of the completeness. quiet and
speed with which the allied expedition
disembarked and Of the unmstakablc
cordially with which 1t was received by
the populace.
"A British vanguard reached Saloniki
on September 90" he said. consisting Of
Brigadier General Hamilton. whom every
body n1istook for Sir Ian Hamilton. and
his staff, with a following of twenty
strapping British Tommies in brand new
khaki.
Both officers and men made them
selves as inconspicuous as possible in
Saloniki their purpose being merely to
inspect the camps prepared for the land
ing force some two miles outside the
town. -Four days later reports gained
general currency that the expedition was
already waiting in a huge fleet of trans
ports outside the harbor. There was
academic discussion among the populace
as to the ethics of landing and crossing
Of neutral Greece, and one hears sugges-
lions here and there that II was just
what the Germans had done to Belgium,
but nowhere was there anv attitude of
hostility to the allied plans. Indeed. when
opinion was expressed at all, It was in
terms of cordial welcome.
"On October the transports began TO
arrive in the harbor proper. They we're
crammed with French troops. which
poured over the gangplanks onto the

published two pieces OF news side by side

lodged a protest against the landing
and, second, that the governor of Sa-
