WASHINGTON Dec. 29.-Peace
promises to be the transoendent theme
OF the State Department the coming
year, in sharp contrast to the almost
warful moments of some months last
year.
Intermittent peace talk took def
mite form in the last weeks of Decem-
Der, after Germany had proposed
peace to the Allies. From now on. it
will be the enormous subject before
the State Department In view Of the
fact that this Government seems
destined 20 play a big part in what
ever peace negotiations are under
taken.
Yet while peace talk passes back
and forth between the chancellOrles
of Europe, and In the granite halls
and mahoganied chambers OF the
American State Department, other in
ternational matters OF grave moment,
must be settled. These questions, Sc
r Gus at times almost 20 the point Of
ruptured relations. are direct heir
looms Of the war, affect America as
a neutral and are destined to have
their standing when international law
IS rewritten after the war.
In addition to possible compiled
tions with Mexico, the main issues OF
the last year are still pregnant with
difficulties which American plOmacy
: is seeking to smooth out, at the same
/ time protecting adequately and hon
orably the rights Of America and
! Americans.
/ These issues are:
/ Submarine problems between Ger
many and the United States.
German deportation of Belgians.
English Interference with mails.
English blacklisting OF American
firms with German interests.
English embargoes affecting Amer
lea
Germanys submarine warfare came
TO a head insofar as the United States
is concerned, when this Government
last March gained a statement that
Germany had affected a change in her
submarine methods and pledged to
continue on a milder course.
The Lusitania case hung fire
though Germany's terms Of settlement
were virtually satisfactory, inasmuch
as this Government did not desire to
( finally close the matter while other
submarine matters we're pending
For time, Germany seemed to be
scrupulously following her promises
In the last our months, however
there has been a feeling that she was
going as far as she could without
provoking new troubles with the Uni
ted States. In those circumstances
the State Department Investigated
during the closing days OF the year q
series of sinkings, notably the Mar
ina, Arabia. Chemung. and a dozer
others. Evidence indicated Germ

spirit of her pledges, and the United

Peace To Be TraHscendenf
Theme of Washington Next Year

Germany, and even more strongly In
fiuence the Administration idea Of
avoiding a break with Germany
Germany's deportation of Belgians
provoked a protest from tbs Govern
ment. but her answer gave but little
satisfaction. The Administration
plans to watch this situation closely
German trangressions have in
volved American lives. In those cir
cumstances. the general view has
been that the cases required quick,
strong protest
On the other hand. England's Of
lenses have involved American com
mercial rights, not lives. These have
been the subject Of objections and ne
gotiations, but differences are still
extant over England's treatment OF
American mails, her blacklist aui her
embargoes. The State Department
will continue negotiating aud protest
ing against infringements OF u. S.
rights by England. though none OF
these cases. the Department holds,
involves such seriousness as to call
for threat OF a breach IN relations.
Mexico has been a sore rpOt IN d.
plomacy the past year
Conditions became such that Amer
lean troops were sent into Mexico,
and militia TO the border, following
villas raid on Columbus. The State
Department found many intricate
problems with Carranza Finally Il
brought him up short with a recital
OF outrages against Americans and
their property, and a definite demand
TO know what he was going to do
hereafter
The Americans aim in Mexico in
rehabilitation and peace without arms.
But the problem before the Mexican
American Commission is still grave
and enormous. villa again is making
trouble, though Carrsnza IN recent
months has shown a disposition and
some ability to alter dreadful condi-
tons.
But with all the problems that have
spelt trouble. the idea OF peace the
world over has been a paramount
hope-and more lately, a pregnant
possibility.

Second BATTALION
IS WELL TREATED
Get More From Home Town
Friends Than Wilmington
Companies, Say Soldiers
TWO COMPANIES
HAVE BEEN DINED

According to word that has been re-
ceived from the Delaware troops on
the border the members Of the four
Wilmington companies claim that the
people in Wilmington are not near as
considerate and thoughtful OF their
welfare as the residents Of Newark,
New Castle. Dover and Milford are
OF the companies from those towns.
While gifts have been received by
members OF the Wilmington compan-
les since they arrived in Demlng, II IS
cOntended by the soldiers from VIII
mington that these have been small
in comparison with what the Second
Battalion members have received from
their home towns. In most instances
what the First Battalion boys have
received is their share Of gifts to the
entire two battalions. The articles
secured with $500 contr buted by ALL
fred |. dupont. were distributed
among all the Delaware men and 1t is
understood that the same distribution
was made Of the other Christmas
packages sent from Wilmington
shortly before the holidays.
The Wilmington boys say they
greatly apprec ate everything that has
been sent them and Go not object to
the distribution that has been made
Of the gifts but that the fact remains
that home towns Of the Second Bat
TALON boys have done much more foi
them than Wilmington has for the
First Battalion.
At Thanksgvln the L. d. Caulk
Company of Milford, provided an
elaborate dinner for all the members
Of the company from that town in
Deming and the same was done foi
Company e at Christmas by the Con
tinental Fibre Company OF Newark
New Castle and Dover have also beer
very generous to the soldiers from
those towns.
