THAT NEw vHRDUN OFFENSIVE.

A MOTHER attack of unprecedented fury, is to be
n made upon Verdun Adyiccs from the front say
the Germans have sen; 100000 to assist in
this grand assault upon the hitherto impregnable
French fortress. Emperor William is understood to
have given orders that the stronghold be taken regard
less Of the sacrifice of men and munitions.
The French, no doubt have anticipated srch a
and ready 10 meet IT, Their success thus far in
repellng the German assaults has given to them
feeling Of confidence that should stand them in good
stead when the new German offensive is launched
That terrible slaughter will attend renewal of the
conflict is assured The French, however. have the
consolation Of knowing that the Germans being on the
offensive and relying upon drives for success.
Till be by FAR the greater sufferers.
The world awaits with intense interest the result OF
this newest effort by the Teutons to smash a way
through the French battle line at one of it's strongest
and most important points.

There is no reason to apprehend
that war with Mexico will follow the
action of the United States in pursu-
ing the Villa bandits across the from
tier Carranza had already proclaim
ed Villa to be an outlaw. and Mexican
citizens were tacitly advised to kill
him on sight. In the interest Of Mex

Americans along the border. it is
hoped that carranza will not inter
pose any objection to the punitive eX-
pedltion set on foot
On numerous occasions the pursuit
of marauders into roreign territory,
has been both justified and permitted
by the United States and Mexico. The
military forces Of the two govern
ments nave sometimes co-operated
against marauders. In 1886 the
United States forces pursued certain
marauders into Mexico, and in 1885
this government acquiesced in the ac-
tion Of Great Britain in ordering
Canadian forces to enter American
territory to Illustrate the operations
of insurgents. In 1877 the Secretary
OF War issued the famous "Ord
ORDER directing General Ord to fol-
low marauders across the Rio Grande
and overtake and punish them, as

This order was in effect for three
years. In 1873 Secretary Evarts sent
this message to the Mexican Govern

"The United States govern

nHIIANDER C. KNOX, formerly Secretary OF State,
has delivered address on preparedness in York.
Pa In its course he expressed the view that this

the defense plans should be made by our best military

REPEALING FREE sUGAI

The first of the Democratic revenue
measures, proposing a repeal of the
free sugar clause of the existing tariff
law. will be disposed of in the House

Committee joined with the Democrats
in recommending this measure for
the saving of about S50.00O000 Of
revenue removes all doubt that the

While the Republicans will not

Of opposing the partial remedy for
the mistake made in 1913. they would
be less than human if they did not
take the opportunity to point out the
failure Of the present law.
There is very little defense that can
be made for free sugar. The lower
tariff. which is already in effect, has
not caused any reduction in the price
to the consumer, and the government
has already lost considerable revenue.
The present tariff is by no means on

SPIRIT OF THE
DELMARVIA PRESS
TRACK ATHLETICS-
From the seaford rrlbune.

From the Seaford Tribune.
The boys of the High School want
a track team. They want to partici-
pate in the Delaware College State
meeting, to be held at Newark during
this spring.
They say that Georgetown. Milford
and Lewes send teams to this meet
and that they help represent their
towns in a very satisfactory manner.
The boys in the Seaford High School
want to do their share to keep Sea-
ford's name in the forefront.
But the boys assert that they are
receiving no encouragement; that the
alumni of their school smile at their
agitation; that in the face Of such
conditions they are not led to try and
start Aarest in track athletics.
These boys of the school have the
right idea They are right in feel
ing that Seaford should be represent
ed at the State meets at Delaware
College They are likewise right in
feeling that they have among them
selves those who can run as fast and
jump as high as any other boys in
Sussex.
This may not be the true situation
but it is the right attitude to hold
toward the venture. They are Aot
scared at the prospect.
There are some, OF course, who 10
not favor track athletics in the high
schools, contending that their place
is in the preparatory school and in
the college There are few, however.
who criticlse track sports, for they
know that to run and jump is the ma
ture Of youth.
Maryland has tried track athletics
( in the public schools with great sue
cess. Field Day is the big event every
year in her counties. Circuses and
( fairs occupy shaded positions relative
| to this event
, There is no reason why Seaford
should not enter the list Of those
/ towns where the schoolboy is taught
to run and jump in the approved
manner. The boys have the willing
ness and it seems at the same time.
they have the ability All they need
is announcement.
II is unfortunate that there is not
some teacher in the high school who
could instruct them in this work; who
could supervise the efforts Of the
boys; who could organize their ef-
forts; some man who has had eXper-
ience on the track and in field events.
But that can come later. The thing
is to assure the boys of the high
school that the alumni of the school
are of one mind with them. They will
not win the State prize at Delaware
this year, or next year, but they viii
improve every year, and the day
/ will come when Seaford will be proud
of the track team which competes uns
der the colors of her high school.
Field Day is the big spring event
in the counties of the Eastern Shore
It is TO be hoped that a day will come
when Field Day will be a big event
among the schools of Sussex.

PRESIDENT NAMES MEMBERS
OF NEW FARM LOAN BANK

Washington, July 28.-President
Wilson today nominated Charles E.
Lobdell of Great Bend, Kan. George
w. Norris of Philadelphia. w. S. A.
Smith of Sioux City, Iowa, and Her
bert Quick of Berkeley Springs. w.
Va. as members of the farm loan
board created under the rural credits
bill recently passed by congress. Sec
retary McAdoo is an ex-officio member
of the board.
The president hopes to have the
nominations confirmed quickly by the
senate in order that the organization
of the rural credits system be perfect
ed without delay. The board will Sc
lect the cities in which the twelve
farm loan banks will be located and
divide the country into districts for
the operation of provisions of the
bill.
Secreatry McAdoo already has col
lected facts on available locations
for the banks, but the board will make
a thorough investigation of the ques-
ton before meeting.
Lobdell and Smith are Republicans
and Norris and Quick are Democrats.
The law provides that not more than
two of the appointed members of the
board belong to the same party. From
a listof more than 100 suggested by
senators, representatives and members
of the cabinet the president selected
lawyer. a farmer. banker and a
student of rural credits problems.

NO PORK BARREL SCAN
DALS lURK IN new FED-
ERAL GOOD ROADS Law

Washington, July 2S--No pork
barrel'' scandals will result from the
new Shackelford good roads law just
signed by President Wilson, the auth
ors declare.
Instead they expect the system es-
tablished, that of contributing federal
aid to the states for the construction
criticism and so helpful in building up
system of internal improvements
that congress will be willing after the
5,000,0 900 is spent to vote new appro-
priations.
Good roads advocates say the new
law is epoch making. 1t is intended,
together with the rural credit system,
to improve the conditions of coun-
try life and to stop the flow of popula-
ton from the country to the city.
Good roads, with the automobile,
will destroy the lonely existence of
the farmer. Opportunities of associ-
alton with neighbors, it is believed,
will make the country boy more will
Ing 10 stay on lue IdTm.
If the automobile owners think the
Shackelford law is intended solely
for them, they are badly fooled, So
says Representative Saunders of Vir-
ginia, one of the authors.
There will be howl going up to
heaven if the department of agricul-
ture picks for improvement only such
main roads as the automobile owners
prefer" said Saunders today. He is
an automobile owner himself. 1--WE
want the back roads improved for the
man who is now hemmed in all sides
in winter by impossible roads"
The appropriations. under the pro-
visions of the law. will be paid to the
state in five installments-$5,OO 900, 900
the first year. s10.0O0,OOO the second
year. 15,000,0OO the third year, $780,
100000 the fourth year and s25, ,OOO, 900
the fifth year.
The money will be divided among
the states, one-third in the ratio of
the area, one-third on the basis of
population and one-third on the basis
of the number of rural delivery routes.
Payment for the construction of
roads will be on a ffty-fifty basis. If
the state agrees to provide half the
cost the federal government will fur
nish the rest. Road projects must be
approved by the department of agri-
culture and the law is entirely silent
on the nature of the improvement,
whether it is a brick. macadam or
common dirt road. These details are
left entirely to the state.
"If this law fails to work, re
sponsibility will rest on the depart
ment of agriculture, for it is vested
with all power" said Saunders. "Con.
gress leaves hands off and there will
be no opportunity to say that congress
has played politics."

of associates in 1891, but abandoned
by them after s25,00O had been spent

carries good values in lead, silver,
copper and zinc. Ore is now being
carried down a mountain trail on bur.
ros and the first shipment will be
