BRINGING THE WAR SCENES HOME.

A LTHOUGH the European war has been raging since
N August 1914. il s ongrosscs the worlds a'ten-
ton and grows constantly In dramatic and tragic in
tensity In no neutral section is its development
followed from day to day with more acute interest
than right here in the State of Delaware.
knowledge of that and desire TO serve as an
educational agent have constrained THE EVENING
JOURNAL to make arrangements TO exhibit on the
screen in the new Queen Theatre, at Fifth and Market
streets 5000 feet OF film, depicting scenes back of
the firing line of the German army during-the mem
orabe drive into Russia which eliminated in the cap
turo OF Warsaw and many Russian strongholds Local
interest in the film should be strengthened by the
fact that it was made by Wilbur H. Durborough
former Delawarean who has enviable reputa-
ton as war photographer and correspondent.
In connection with the display of this great war
film we desire TO say that there will be no Ntterance
from tho stage or on the that will offend the
sensibnites of any friend of the Quadruple Entente
or of the Teuionic Alliance The pictures will speak
for themselves and show the great machine OF
Germany admittedly the most perfect ever put in the
field at the outbreak OF a war, in motion against an
enemy
The average Delawarean has read OF yon linden
hurgs great drive into Russia and has formed his own
conception of what looked like to those who actually
saw IT, That conception doubt is largely erron
eous II has remained for THE EVENING JOURNAL

enjoy il and that it viii enable them TO get an ade-
ouate idea of the way in which twentieth century war
fare is conducted by nation that spent forty years
in preparing itself for the sangunary catacysm that
now conyuses Europe and large sections of Asia and
Africa

In April. 1914. President Wilson
sent the armed forces of the United
States into Vera Cruz. He seized
Mexico's chief seaport as a means OF
enforcing his ultimatum to General
Huerta--of obtaining the salute to
the American flag which Hucrtas
government had refused.
Mr. Wilson never obtained that sa-
Lutte. He succeeded in ousting Huer-
Ia. against whom he had long prev
iOusly declared a personal boycott.
Then he ordered the garrison occupy
ing Vera Cruz to strike its colors
and stink away. Looking back now.
it is hard to see for what object Of
national Importance American and
Mexican lives were sacrificed in the
attack on Vera Cruz
Now the President is sending arm
ed American forces into Chihuahua.
It is their mission to kill or capture
the savage cut-throat-the ex-bandit
masquerading as q military and pO-
litical leader-whom the Admins
tration coddled for so many months
as its favOrite for the succession TO
Huerta This brutal murderer has
turned on his patrons, who have
furnished him with all the arms and
ammunition which he possesses, and
has declared a war of determination
against Americans, not only in the
territory which he controls in Mex
leo, but also on the American side OF
the Rio Grande. He has slaughtered
unarmed men and women, and at
tackled our military posts. He has
made himself either a hostile invader
or an international outlaw.
There is no force on the Mexican
side representing the Mexican Gov.

EXIT Won TIRPTTZ.

TVNHERE longer is any doubt relative TO the
resignation Of Grand Admiral Won Tirpitz' head
Of the German Admiralty. It is officially announced
lie will be succeeded by Admiral Won Capele.
The official announcement asserts that the change
will involve no alteration of existing naval policies
That is to be regretted because Won Trptz has pur-
sued such course Of naval frightfuness that his
name will live in history with those Of Butcher
Woyler and sundry other men who have placed 100
low an estimate upon human life and world opinion
The death rolls of the Lusitana and other merchant
craft will constitute a damnng indictment against
his memory long after he has been gathered to his
fathers 1t is unfortunate for the world and espec-
tally unfortunate Germany, that he ever held such
an exalted Office and permitted to drag it so low
II is rumored that the German Chancellor forced
the retirement Of Won Tipitz because the former wish
ed TO concliate the United states by more humane
submarine policy and latter refused to agree to It,
II is to be hoped that is true and that the Chanceors
policy will be put into effect

Editorial Opinion
AMERICANS SHOULD
LEAVE MENICO.

LEAVE MEAlNO'
From the Washington Post,
Americans in Mexico owe it to them
selves and their country to get out of
Mexico for the time being.
However distant these Americans
may be from the border and the dan
ger zone. they may become involved
in disorders following the pursuit OF
Villa by American troops.
The Mexican people are apprehen-
sive and ON edge The ignorant ones
are very likely to be misled by per-
sons interested in stirring up war
between the two countries. Despite
the efforts OF the two governments,
and assuming that Carranza will CO.
operate with the United States in per-
feet good faith. uprisings may occur in
points quite distant from Villas
stamping grounds. in which Ameri-
cans may suffer. Attacks upon Amer
leans would tend to complicate the sit
uation and increase the chances of
war. The. situation is delicate enough
as il stands without being made worse
by the murder Of Americans. They
should withdraw from Mexico before
public feeling becomes more intense
as it probably will when reports o
fighting are circulated throughout
Mexico.

view of the gross Misrepresentation to which the

cles he wrote in Harper's. it is gratifying to know
that Posts suit for $4,000 for damages Suffered by

been thrown of the Federal Court in New York by

We hope not. But the melancholy
travesty of craftsmanship which has
passed so long under the name of

fidence. Can the President now strike
off the shackles OF that policy--its

LIGHT IN THE SCHOOL.

From the Smyrna Times.
Our school board has ordered cleo
trio lights installed in the school
building Good! II should have been
done long ago. Now then let's have
an assembly room built back where
every morning all the grades can par
ticipate at one time in chapel exer-
cises. Along with this, fit up an
office for the supervising principal. a
place where parents can meet him
for consultation about their children
and where the business of the school
can be transacted With electric
lights it would not be amiss to have a
telephone connection Often parents
wish to communicate with their chill
dren on important matters. Let's be
up-to-date and progressive as a school
| in these little minor things. Our
/ teachers are up-tO-date and thorough
Why not arrange the school building
