PRESIDENTS DOLLAR.
DIPLOMACY SCORED
Voters Of 1916 To Show Him
American Peoples Tenn
per, Says Editor.

NEW YORK. April S.-Under the
heading, president Wilson's Dollar
Diplomacy" the editor OF the Father
land, George Sylvester Viereck. in the
next Issue of that publication. makes
of the United States:
When President Wilson's protest
against England's piratical inter
ference with neutral commerce reach
ed London, it was contemptuously
cast aside for several days SO as not
to interfere with the weekend delights
OF His British Majesty's ministers.
The answer, we are told with o
tempt no less i'll concealed, will have
to wait for 10 days or more till Sir
Edward Grey returns from his pleas
ure jaunt. Meanwhile Uncle Sam
must tarry, hat in hand, like an office
boy. in the anteroom of the foreign
office.
"If we examine the Presidents note
carefully, we must admit that we fully
deserve the repeated snubs melted out
to us by Great Britain. For, while
there is much fine language about the
theoretical rights of neutrals, the note
practically recognizes England's pre-
posterous long-distance blockade.
When we suggest a money compensa
ton for our dishonor we assume an
attitude that is despicable. Does the
President seriously believe that dol
lars a atone for injustice? The
voters of 1916 will teach him too late
that he has misread the temper OF the
American people,"

AIPPopRoMe THEATRE.

Commencing today and for the bal
ance OF the week the porgram TO be
presented al the Hippodrome is sure
to prove entertaining. The Three
Schultzes have a comedy singing and
talking specially that is decidedly
worth while. A feature of the act is
a fox terrier who performs all sorts
OF difficult tricks. Johnny Peasc Is
a neccentric comedian, who will in
troduce a clever monologue, inter.
spersed with several songs. The VII.
hat Troupe of trick bicycle riders give
a performance that is second to none.
Many difficult and d~extrous feats are
offered by these clever performers.
A two-reel picture entitled Third
High Hand" and a Biograph comedy
are also included in the program.

THE heads of the different branches

ACHANGE AT THE SEcuRIrY.

From the Wilmington Labor Herald.
One of the most popular banking in
situations in Wilmington with the
workers is the Security Trust and
Safe Deposit Company. The company
has long been a community helper.
Its officials have at all times been
ready to serve the public.
Some years ago. L. Scott Townsend
became associated with the Security.
Mr.. Townsend is of the nature and
species that puts the punch in bank
ing. He believes in smiling and pass
ing the time of day with the bank
patrons and visitors. There is no
place for a crouch in the Security. Mr..
Townsend's ideas are in force there.
The whole system of things is based
on being polite, courteous, ard rea-
sonable. Friends of Mr. Townsend
will be rather sorry 10 see him leave
the active services of the Security
Trust and Safe Deposit Company,
where for so many years he has
served the interests of the customers
of the bank. However, Mr.. Townsend
will remain as a vice-president and
member of the board.
John S. Rossell, one of Whining
tons pest known citizens mas also
been connected with the Security for
years. Mr.. Rossell, on account Of
the press of work has been compelled
10 hand in his resignation as secre-
tary. He will continue as vice-presi-
dent. in which position he will give
counsel as in the past Mr.. Rossell
/ is an exponent of scientific banking
and has a complete understanding Of
the subject. Nationally he is known
as one of the best posted men in
Delaware on the banking subject
The Security Trust and Safe De-
post Company has been success
since its organization as a financial
/ institution. Messrs. Townsend and
Rossell have contributed materially to
this success. The modern bank real
ICES that success comes from serving,

"A Magnificent Spectacle"
(From the New York Tribune.)

Il is reasonable that we should re-
ioice in the brave show our battle
ships make in the North river. 1t is
very proper that our acting mayor
should welcome the fleet as zone of
the most magnificent spectacles ever
seen in our waters" for so il is. If
a spectacle were the only thing re-
quired there would indeed be small
cause for dissatisfaction or misgiv-
ings. But there is something more
than this in the minds of thoughtful
men today, something that Admiral
Fletcher glanced at in his brief but
significant acknowledgment of the
city's greetings. 81 accept these" he
said, "as an appreciation of the in
terest that the. people are taking in
the American navy and of their reali-
cation that the defence of our coun-
try lies first upon the water rather
than upon the land. l think" he add
ed gravely, the people OF this country
are beginning 10 realize that situa-
ton"
For confidence in the quality of the
personnel there is reason enough, but
the maxim that II is the human ele-
ment that wins battles is subject to
human limitations. and it is obvious
that fleet undermined and in many
respects so poorly equipped as ours
Evening journal., 1915-05-12

cannot be turned into an efficient
fighting force overnight 1--WE look
like an efficient fleet as we lie here
in this river" said one of the naval
officers on Saturday; 1--WE look pretty
fine but | don't think we would stand
up two hours in contest against a
modern European fleet. Does
anybody in possession of all his senses
believe for one ndnute that we are
ready for a war;" 1t is not as if this
were the singular opinion of a motor
ious grumbler; among the many
whose views we're quoted in The Trib-
une yesterday we look in vain for
one inclined in any way to make light
of our manifest unpreparedness.
A few years ago our feet was the
second of the world. in some respects
twice as strong as Germany's; today,
we see it deficient in divers respects,
wanting in officers and men, wanting
in vessels of several classes, wanting
in many things essential to the MAX
ing of such a navy as this country
needs. II may appear churlish to in
sist on these deficiencies at this mo-
mont. yet to do so is only to echo
the sentiments openly expressed by
the men of the fleet. They know its
shortcomings best of all men, and all
! men know that il is not they who are
responsible for them.
