New Auto Road Map

The Hotel DUPONT, E. S. Taite,
manager, and the New Jersey and
Wilmington Ferry Company, JOS
eph Wilson, manager, have had
compiled and printed an automo-
bile road map with Wilmington as
the central point, which no doubt
will prove not only boost to Will
mington itself, but also will bring
motorists to the city.
The maps were compiled by the
American Automobile Association
in cooperation with the Delaware
Automobile Association. The maps
proper are 18 inches by "a inches
and the various roads leading to
and from Wilmington are plainly
shown in black lines. The ad-
vantages of the PENIS Grove fer
ry are shown in that motorists 60
ing to or coming from southern or
seashore points, as we'll as points
in Pennsylvania, may utilize Will
mington as means of reaching
their destination. In connection
with the map, which is put up in
pamphlet form is given directions
and mileage to follow in making
these trips. Such trips as Penn's,
Grove to Atlantic City, via Will
Newark post., 1915-04-07

Wilmington to Trenton,
N. j., for New York, via PENIS
Grove Baltimore to Wilmington
Washington to Baltimore; Will
mington to Lancaster; Lancaster
to Harrisburg; Lancaster to Get
tysburg; PENIS Grove to Cape
May, via Wilmington; Wilmington
to Rehoboth; Wilmington to Lake
wood, via Penn's Grove; Lake
wood to Asbury Park, N. j.; Will
mington, to Elkton, to Easton, Md;
Easton to Salisbury. Seven good
automobile roads lead into Will
mington, including the Penn's
Grove ferry. Automobilists COM
ing to Wilmington are now assur-
ed Of learning the advantages
whic hthis city holds out to them
as a means of going to or coming
from certain points, and where
heretofore only certain road maps
were available, the pamphlet
which is being distributed broad
cast and is a complimentary circu-
lation, is sure to bring results ben
efiting Wilmington. Ferryage be-
tween Wilmington and Penn's
Grove and vice versa has been
placed on a fiat basis of 81, includ-
ing driver. Fifteen cents extra is
charged for each passenger. This
is considered very considerate
rate by all automobilists. The
pamphlets containing the maps
were first distributed Saturday.
In speaking of the automobile
routes leading into this city and
out, Manager E. S. Taite Saturday
told Of a trip he took on Friday in
company with David Provan, man
ager Of the Adelphia in Philadel-
phia, and Mrs. Provan. Mr.. Taite
went as far as Baltimore with Mr..
and Mrs. Provan, who spent the
Easter holidays in Washington.
Mr.. Taite said the roads all the
way down were excellent. Some
people, he said, cannot compre-
hend the excellent road facilities.
He spoke of the splendid stretch
of road between North East and
Perryville. Approximately three
hours, Mr.. Taite said, were con-
sumed in the trip, which is good
time. The new stretches of road
just completed, Mr.. Taite said,
make these routes superior to the
former ones.

New Roadside Tree
Law In MARYLAND

Governor Goldsborough of Mary
land has named Friday, April 8,
as Bird and Arbor Day in Mary

of especial interest because it is
the first since the passage of the
Roadside Tree law, by the Legisla-
ture of 1914. This law places all
trees now growing beside the road
ways or along the streets of in
corporated towns under the sup
ervision of the State. In addition
to the care and protection of exist
ing trees the law provides for the
planting Of new ones.

REPLY TO PAPIST.- Comment
ing on Papist's comments, am
agreed with you that the Blessed Vir-
gin (if such a person lived) was con-
ceived without original sim in just
the same way that all folks were so
conceived, regardless of how they
died. AS to your remarks concern
ing the American government and
WITHDRAWING and slaVe-fOgging, am
also agreed with you that such acts
although committed on American
soil prove nothing against the Amer
lean government, since the former
were committed by pious Iunatics
and the later by ignorant and cruel
individuals, but neither was done by
the American government.
Your comment on Tapleigh's we'll
founded charge that the most relig-
iOUs nations are the least advanced"
looks like a dodge, since you state a
fact that reflects mighty little credit
on the Catholic church as an institu-
ton of learning. I was almost sur
pTised that you did not also include
such advanced countries as South
America and Mexico as examples of
Catholic influence, since they have
been blessed with over 400 years of it.
However, to my way Of thinking,
Christians have no lack of presump-
ton when they take the credit to
themselves which alone belongs to
the men who have labOred in the
glorious name of science; you should
not overlook the fact that while all
nations have not been Catholic or
Christian they have all advanced
through science.

BERLIN, July 6.-Aomiral oscar von Turpitz commander of the German naval forces, in an article published in the Tag Zietung today warns Germany of the danger of breach with the United States over the submarine war fare The admiral asserts that a dis agreement with the United States can have no other effect than to further increase the resources of the allies which will also have the effect of still further increasing the difficulties of Germany The admiral is apparently not greatly in favor of continuing the submarine warfare along lines that threaten to bring the German nation into a state of rupture with the United States as he states in unqualified terms that a continuation of the present methods is bound to lead to trouble between the two countries. Every hour in which Germany continues in her present course" asserts von Tur- pitz, threatens to increase still further the friction already existing between the two nations over the submarine warfare"
