SaIopiki.

SaloRlkl.
This is an ancient and famous
city, and ID is now brough prom
inently before the gaze OF t h 9
whole world. 1t is today occupi-
ed by expeditionary armies OF
England and France, with the
purpose OF resisting the offensive
movements Of the Bulgarians,
Austrians and Germans. Outwit-
ted by the diplomacy OF Bulga-
ria, they came too late to pre-
vent the conquest Of Serbia; but
they may now proftablyhold it,
provided they use it only as a
base for a drive against Bulga-
ria from the south while Rus
sia attacks from east and north.
Greece objects to this seisure OF
one Of her chief cities, but fears
to use force, lest her islands be
seized and her coast be bombar-
ded by the fleets OF Great Brit
ain and France.
In the earliest times the city
was known under the names OF
Emathia and Therma, and the
latter name is pepetuated in the
Thermaic Gulf on whose shores
it is located. Saloniki is an alb
breviation and corruption OF
Thessalonica, the name given by
Philip OF Macedon to adaughter
born to him on the day he gam
ed a victory in Thessala. The
name OF Therma was changed to
Thessalonica by Alexander the
Great in honor OF his daughter.
The city is associated wi t b
some intereresting recollections.
Here Xerxes rested on his march
into Greece. When the Romans
conquered Macedonia they made
it the Metropolis OF that prov.
lnce, and before the founding OF
Constantinople it was also vir.
tually the capital Of Greece and
Illyricum. To this city Cicero was
exiled, and hither came Octavius
and Antony from Philippi after
their victory over Brutus q n d
Cassius.
In Christian contemplation the
chief interest that attaches to So.
loniki is it's association with the
Apostle Paul. On his second mis-.
sionaTy tour he came hither a
hundred miles from Phiippi. In
the Jewish synagogue for three
Sabbaths he reasoned with them
from the scriptures, "opening W
and alleging that it behooved
the Christ to suffer and to rist
again from the dead; and thai
this Jesus whom, said he, l pro
claim unto you, is the Christ
And some OF them were persuaded
and consorted with Panl and 81
las; and OF the devoht Greeks 6
great multitude, and Of the chic
women not a few" Thus wa
gathered the second church OF
the continent OF Europe. Tha
same year. A. D. SO, after Pau
had come to Corinth, he wrot
an epistle to the Theselonians
and the next year he wrote a sec
ond epistle to them; and thes
are the first two OF his thirteel
epistles that are preserved TO
US in the New Testament for ou
instruction in righteousness. w

II the various Methodist Chur.
ches in the United States succeed
in carrying through their Union
programme, it will mean the
bringing together in one organi-
zation OF the Methodist popula-
tion between eighteen million to
twenty million adherants. There
is still some opposition among
Northern Methodists, but it is
generally believed that the plan
will be carried through. In any
case, it is being favorably dis.
cussed. II all the Methodist bod.
les come in, American Metho lism
will constitute the largest r,lig-
ious communion in this country
For some years Methodist I'm
ion has been under Discussion.
In its main features the present
plan Was brought forward by a
council OF Methodlsts North and
South. 7 h 9 Southern Metho.
dists have accepted, and this
year the Methodist Church North
will take up the matter when the
General conference meets at Sar-
atoga. American Methodism be.
came divided as early as 1874,
over the question ofslavery. The
proposed plan Of reunion con-
templates creating one Metho.
dist Church with what might be
called four provinces. Each pro-
vince will have it's own board OF
Bishops and IS own General Con-
ference. Over all will be q su-
preme body composed Of delega-
tes from the four Conferences.
The four bodies proposed are the
white liethodists OF the South,
the colored Methodlsts OF the
South, the Methodists of the
East and the Methodlsts Of the
West. Opposition has CO m e
from some quarters over what
looks like a division OF the great
Northern body OF Methodists as
at present constituted, but it is
said to be the growing opinion
that east and west involve such
distances if not differences that
for mere matters OF administra-
rlon bishops and a general con-
ference for each will save time
and expense and lead to a closer
supervision aud larger growth.
The question Of general boards,
so far as determined, favors one
OF each kind for all American
J Methodism. Ii that plan is &C.
cepted, American Methodists will
J possess the largest missionary,
Sunday-school an d rinisteria
relief societies in the world. Itis
the expectation of Methodists
who are favoring this plan that
Methodist Protestants, a body
OF some $50, 1000 members, woulo
! come in within a few years. Thel
it is also expected that some col
: ored churces OF the South woult
, join with the colored Methodists
. They are said to favor such mn
i'm. Ii the present Methodist en-
, thusiasm toward union shoult

Nsws and Observer.

whatever dli1erlng Opinions, or
different constructions there be
had as to what's termed the Sin
gle term plank of,the Democrat
ic platform adopted in Balti-
more with reference to the tenure
Of Office OF o President Of the u
nited States, there can benaught
but agreement with the conclu-
sions reached three years ago by
President Wilson and concerning
denominations expressed in a let
ter to A. Mitchell Palmer, of Pa.
In that letter the position ta-
ken by the Presidents that the
attitude OF any aspirantforas Sec
ond term should be such as to be
expressed in the determination
that he "would resort to moth
ing but public opininion to de-
eide the question:" as to wheth-
er or not he should seek thenom-
nation. He we'll holds that a sin
gle term would be too long for
an unworthy man, and too short
for q man who had taken posi-
tions and put into effect reforms
Of government which could not
be tried out in that time.
In plain words, the position OF
President Wilson is that if h lis
party calls for his services as its
candidate he is ready to respond
to it's wishes, but that he will do
nothing to force himselfupon the
party against it's wishes, that he
is no machine builder, has no de-
sire to manipulate conventions
or primaries that he may be the
beneficiary Of plans made posi-
bic by holding the office Of Presi-
dent. Our view all along has been
that the meaning Of the single
plank in the platform was that
this should become operative
through laws passed to make it
30.
But no matter what thatplank
may or may not mean, this is n
time when not alone the Demo-
cratic party, but the entire coun-
try, has a real need for the can
didacy Of " Woodrow Wilson TO r
President. Were he to decline to
run we would at once be thrown
s.lto vast confusion as to ourfor-
eign affairs, with chaos in many
complications to be met abroad
and at home. The people of this
country know that President
Wilson has not trimmed his sails
for q second nomination, they
know that he has performed his
duty as it stood clearly revealed
to him, and that he has d O n
this with'an entire absence ofselt
seeking.
The duty OF President Wilson
and the opinion he expressed in Q
letter now three years old, rur
. on parallel tracks. If even itwere
go that Mr.. Wilson did not carr
to be reelected President t h
cirnes now are such t b a t III
should set this to one side an /,
consider the conditions which are
upon our people. He has sait
that nothing but public opinion
should bring decision to q mai
concerning a denomination 10
President. and if we are any judg
at all Of public opinion in an
out Of the Democratic party it
that this pabhc opinion calls 10
President Wilson'S renomina
ton.
N There is no campaign to ente
upon for the nomination, for tn
only man the Democracy has i
view for its candidate this yea
for President is Woodrow Wi
con. His course as Presidential
heen such. as to draw the coul
try to, him, and Democracy
stronger because Of him. Feelin

PubIic Improvement in seafOrd


George w. Donoho. president of
Seaford Town Council, is filling in
the river marsh below his home on
Conwer street, making down TO the
Nanticoke river, and a permanent
wharf will be built there. This
thoropghfare is practically nothing
but a path on the rivers edge, but is
used as much as many of the main
streets. From the county bridge at
Market street to the railroad bridge
at Railroad avenue the path has been
improved to a great extent, and saves
many miles walk for those going to
and from the oyster packing houses
and canning factories.

VAR GUMM ARY.

Rumania has thrown in her lot with the Entente Allies by declaring war on Austria-Hungary, and almost sim ultaneously Germany has announced that she is at war with Rumania.

 Nothing has come through to indi- cate what preparation has been made by the Bulgarians to offset a probable attack by the Rumanians along the Danube front or possible attempt by the Russians at invasion by means of the Danube and through Dobruga or by the Black Sea. IL is estimated that Rumania will be able to throw nearly million men into the field
 Except in the Macedonian sector lit- tie important fighting is reported from the fronts. Along the line where the Teutonic allies are in contact with the Serbians. British and French. Berlin and Paris report additional gains for their respective forces. Berlin records the capture of heights south of Zbro- sko' by the Bulgarians and the repulse of Serbian counter attacks on Mount Zeganska. while Paris says the Serbs have made considerable progress near Vetrenika and have repulsed with heavy losses Bulgarian attacks on the roads from Banica to Ostrovo. Paris admits, however, Bulgarian occupa tiOn of positions abandoned by the Greeks west of Kavala on the Aegean.
 Artillery engagements and mine op- erations have characterized fighting in France and Belgium. The French report further progress east of Del v;llewood and near the Mouquete farm in the Somme region, while London reports the smelling of British posi- tions between Pozieres and the Thiep- val wood and recipocral lombard ments at other points. A German at tack near Fleury failed.
 From the Riga region to the Car pathian passes there have been var ious isolated engagements between Russians and Austro-Germans, but no !. notable successes. Fighting is in prog {. ress between Russians and Turks il the Lake Van region and north Cf 1 Bitlis. In the latter region the Turks . have been driven back by a Russian . counter attack, losing men and guns. .
