ScHILIER, MS CRIME AND HIS BLOOD

ERoM William j. Rentou of Brandywine hundred,
II whom We respect most highly have received
the following letter.
70 the Editor Of THE EVENING JOURNAL:
Dear Sir-Clarence r. Hudson, alias Ernest Schiller.
the young German" has not drop of German blood
IN him He has said repeatedly that he is not German
and never was m Germany
According TO his own statement he is English, and
his father is living in England now but because his
father turned him out OF the house. he wished to get
revenge ON the English and turned himself into
German pirate. WIN. J. RENTOUL.
Brandywine HID. April 20, 1916
Our reply to that IS that Mr. Rentou seemingly did
not follow carefully the Schiller trial and the
ances Of the prisoner When asked why he committed
the crime he said:
81 did it for Germany and because OF my hatred Of
England"
Asked why he hated England he made no reference
TO his father but said il because he had been
arrested in English restaurant for singing "De
Wacht am Rhine and he decided to get even"
Now let take up the matter Of his German blood
and the influence it has had his sympathies and
actions. To local newspaper he said that his
real name is Clarence Reginald Hudson He said he
was born in Russia, his father being an Englishman
who was in business there, like many other English
mon in commercial life and his mother German
Always he said he was strongly pro-German in
symRthes getting his point of view from his mother
AT the outbreak of the World War he was in Man
chester, England and his leaning toward the Father
land Of his mother was accenuated by the way the
people OF that city treated the German population
there, lootng houses. destroying goods and making
them their objects OF bitter attacks So "hotfooted
it, out of England and came to- "the States" as he
calls this country He went to work as a textile engi-
neer. but in the back Of his mind was the thought
that he must do something for Germany
Naturally, he met Germans and to two of them he
unolded plan to seize ship and turn it over to the
Germans. They schomed and schemed again finally
hitting upon the Matoppo as the ship they would
tackle.
We think that Mr.. Renoul Is confounded out Of the
mouth of his own witness, who is suffering de-
served punishment for crime that was inspired ac-
cording TO himself by his German blood: a desire
to get even with England and to do something for
Germany; the adoption of a plan the details of which
were concociod at conferences with Germans to whom
he unfolded his general plan and with whose assist
ance he selected the ship to be seized

Here is Greece's present and latest
perplcxity: the Allies insist upon
sending troops across the country to
Salonica; the Central Powers say if
Greece permits this they will regard
IT as an unfriendly act. Greece re-
ports that armed resistance is impos-
siblc: the Central Powers reply that
they viii not accept this view of the
situation A political dilemma has been
as natural TO Greece since the war be-
gan rs national existence. King Con-
Stantine by clmging to one horn or the
other as each dilemma appeared has
managed to keep his kingdom out Of
active participation in hostilities and
also TO gain the disfavor of both sides.
The troops that the Allies wish to
send across Greece are the Serbians
who He'd to Corfu after they were
driven out of their own land. An easier
and more expeditions way would be
transportation by sea; but the waters
around the Hellenic peninsula are re-
ported to be swarming with German
and Austrian submarines. anxiouslv
waiting TO try their torpedoes on the
enemy's loaded troop ships.
The situation would be less diff
cult for Greece if there was a direct
railway route from Corfu to Salonica.

REoPENING THE CANAL.

From the New York Sun.
General George ". Goethals wrote on
November Is, 1915, in his exhaustive re-
port on conditions at Panama that ut is
the intention to pass ships as soon as a
channel is secured and there are
reasonable grounds for ossuming that a
channel through the obstructed area can
be maintained The country is there
fore justified in expecting that the canal
shall hereafter be open for navigation
while the grave task of deepening the
prism and reducing the weight on the
banks is carried forward. General
Goethals has pointed ont that nothing
can stop the movements now in prog
ress until the angle of repose is reach
ed," and this "can be reached only by
removing the excess amount Of material
along the cut.'
Much work must be done to restore
the canal to the condition that obtained
before it was obstructed by slides that
have now been pierced but on the
strength of General Goethal's report We
may accept it as fact that the canal
force will be able hereafter to control
the slides and keep the waterway min-
terruptedly open for ships.

A Public Man. but rot in politics. a
Useful Citizen whose interest leaned
toward Education. an Agricuturist,
who practiced his theories on the

that stand out prominently i'm the life
OF George Kerr. His interest. his
worth and work as trustee of the

fore the public, sympathetic care Of
inmates and business methods Of ad-

As a farmer he was a leader. The
farm was a study to him. He was a
scientific farmer who made it pay TIe

menter. II was Mr.. Kerr who first
grew scarlet clover seed in the State.
The service in this leadership cannot
be reckoned When in his prime OF
active farming, the Kerr farm was
rated a leader
In our acquaintance, these were the
things that struck us. Age never
blinded him to the blessings of today.
He loved the old days but not so much
as the new days. Anything to make
better the morrow had his support.
Nor was he afraid to try. Yet in every
move. he demanded the practical. Re
forms must be more than theory, or

sAULISBURY SHOULD BE PROUI

SALISBURY SHOULD BE PROUD.
From the Salisbury News.
The splendid manner in which the
people Of Salisbury responded to the
call of the committee of the Y. NJ. c..
Association movement to raise the
sum Of seven thousand dollars to car
~ on the work at the new Y. NJ. c. A.
building for two years, is a record for
which Salisbury should be very proud
We doubt very much if there is an
other city on the Eastern Shore Of
Maryland where such a sum Of money
could be so easily raised in two
days canvass True. the incentive for
the work is great Through the splen-
did charity of Mrs. Elihu y. Jackson,
Salisbury has been provided with one
Of the handsOmest and best equipped
Y. NJ. c. A. buildings in the State, and
II was. therefore. to be expected that
the people will respond literally to
the effort to make this a wide spread
movement for the benefit of the young
men of this city. Mrs. Jackson could
easily have provided the funds neces-
sary to run this building, but it was
not the intention of the board of di-
rectors. named to take charge OF this
work, that this method should be pur-
sued in its management. II was the
intention from the start TO ask the
people of Salisbury, who would be
benefited by the splendid gift. to
come to its support and its mainte-
nance. Our people have responded in
a most liberal and substantial man
ner and now that funds have been
provided for two years. in which time
a thorough trial can be given the pro-
gram arranged for the running OF this
splendid institution, the building will
now be opened. and its work will be
started in this community.

gratifying

One gratifying result
of the Sheriff. m r j g
meeting here is that the
merchants got along so nicely
closing their places of business
at Z o'clock, that they have a.
greed to continue to close at the
same hour on Wednesday even
ings hereafter.
AS this is prayer-meetirg
night at all the churches, this
arrangement will give ALL those
connected with the stores, who
wish to do so, an opportunity to
attend prayer meeting, besides
it will give the managers and
clerks one eveningof each week
for rest and recreation
The stores here have very
long hours, most of them keep
ing open until 9 and 10 o'clock
at night, and the public should
be glad to give the managers
and clerks this mid-week oppor-
tunity for devotion and recre-
alton, and in their behalf, we
kindly ask all our people to ar
range their dealing accordingly
and no one will be inconvienced
in the least by this arrangement.

We are beginning

We are beginning to hear
about next summers Chautau-
qua plans already, and here it's
only February. Word has been
sent to the local managers from
the National Lincoln System that
the plans are being put into
shape and almost before we
know it, we'll see advertising,
tent, program and all.
This promises to be a great
Chautauqua year, the Bureau
men say. There are a csore OF
big issues in the minds and
hearts of the American people
right nov domestic and foreign,
ligious, educational and what
not that win doubtless be sifted
out in some manner or other
and to some extent or other in
under the Chautauqua tent.
A full and complete announce
ment Of the program will be
made within the next few weeks.
It will include orators of the
type, inspirational lectures with
their 1916 messages, bands,
orchestras and entertainment
enough to grip the attention of
Chautauqua days and keep us
more or less under its spell for
perhaps several days after.
The Bureau promises that the
advance work will be more effec-
tive than ever before; that the
program will be a notch higher
in its standard, because Chau-
tauqua programs must strength
en- somehow every year. Every
year the audiences demand some
thing better. So altogether, it
looks as if we are going to have
a winner of Chautauqua.
Dates will be announced soon,
also.
Keep this big 1916 Chautauqua
in your minds and when tn dates
are known, make it a point to
plan to let up a little that week
in the daily grind and enjoy to
the fullest this splendid six
days of Entertainment rest.
And when the committee
starts their ticket-selling cam
paign, get back Of it and give
it big boost. These men have
gone back of this affair with a
most unselfish motive; to give
the community the best in en-
tertainment that can be had.
TIL idea is to buy tickets all you
can use. And get in the COM
munity procession.
