Lewes, Del, March 81.-Ernest
Schiller, the young German who cap
tured the British steamer Matoppo
and terrorized her crew Of Sc men on
Wednesday night, after the ship had
sailed from New York for Vladivos-
tok with railroad supplies for Russia,
declared today that he was a German
spy.

government" he said. 'TYou can be-

Schiller had been told that as his
exploit occurred outside the three
mile limit, he probably would be
taken to the British West Indies for
trial for piracy. Federal authorities
and British representatives came here
today to examine Schiller and to de-
eide what to do with him. If the
United States finds it has no juris-
diction, he will be turned over to
Great Britain. Those who have talk
ed with Schiller believe he is ire
sponsible and that his story of his
career is not true.

Bad Roads.

The recent rains we have had
have caused all our roads to be-
come bad, those without deep holes
will dry, but will remain rough
unless some immediate attention
be given them before the rainy
season of winter and will surely
jbecome impossible, and the bust
ness of the town will suffer in con-
sequence.
= Dirt roads are not as good and
durable as gravel, but with the
proper care can be maintained in
good passable condition.
All other sections of the country
are building good gravel roads aud
we are not even trying to keep our
dirt roads in good condition, how
can we expect to draw the people

can give them as good roads as
they have going to other towns?
We have seen some very good
roads nine feet wide and nine
inches deep, with the help of the
farmers that were built at cost
of 81, 800 per mile. We believe a
road district could be formed of
the first ward or a portion of the
ward, and with a tax of five mill,
raise enough money to gravel all
our main roads.
The thing is of such great i'm
portance for this section that we
believe it should be considered
seriously by our people. The time
is ripe for action.

Many housewives experience great difficulty in laundering fine lingerie, such as dainty waists, jabots, collars and so forth.
