new JERSEY takes
Delaware LAW AS PATTERN

There was report current in this
city today that the New Jersey auth
critics were now compelling Della
ware automObilists to take out Ii
cense in New Jersey before they were
permitted to drive their machines in
that State in retaliation of the law
passed by the Delaware Legislature
compelling the licensing of automO-
biles owned by corporations from out
of the State doing business in this
State.
Charles G. Guyer. secretary of the
Delaware Automobile Association,
said that there was no truth in the
report. He stated that the New
Jersey authorities were, however. en-
forcing law passed last March COM
pelling the licensing OF automobiles
of out of the State corporations do
ing business in that State He said
in each case a warning was first given
before any arrest was made.
Mr.. Guyer stated that the Maryland
Legislature before adjourning had re-
duced the toll on the bridge over the
Susquehanna River from 81 to fifty

This Is as much a part OF the treaty
contract as the declaration OF inviola-
bility when all the belligerents are
parties to the Convention.
Now 1t happens that of the present
belligerents not less than six Powers
are not parties to Convention XI, of
The Hague series Of 1907.

Italy signed but failed to ratify.
Montenegro neither signed nor ad-

while two, Bulgaria and Turkey, are

the good faith and moderation of the

AS to the sacrosanct character OF

contained in any Convention OF The

to remember in fairness that the in

in this war for the average tonnage Of
ships engaged in foreign trade at that
time was probably not more than 1876,
and. besides, England was not then
so entirely dependent on imports.
Still, with regard to risks. it may be
observed that in spite of the vastly
greater number OF clearances the
losses at present are not half so num-
erOus.
The real reason for the deficiency i'm
tonnage is clearly due to the requisi-
tioning of steamers by the govern
ment. and there is no cause OF serious
concern in the mischief done by sub
marines. The new campaign so far
has been brisk enough for in the
month of March about thirty British
steamers were destroyed, either by
torpedoes or mines. Still the starva-
tion Of the British people is a long
way off. and for more than a year
and half the submarines in the North
Sea have not succeeded in sinking a
single ship OF the Grand Fleet.
There can be little doubt that the
Germans counted too confidently on
the timidity of the trade. but in justice
to them it must be said that some in
England suffered under the same de-
fusion. Admiral Sir Percy Scott de-
clared shortly before the war that in
his opinion it would mot need more
than one or two ships sent to the
bottom to hold up the food supply of
tho country" The number is now
close upon four hundred. yet trade has
not been frightened from the sea, nor
is it likely to be for a long time to

War Losses in Merchant Shipping
(From the New York Tribune)

Admiral Sir Cyprian Bridges report
on the losses in merchant shipping
since the war began makes il plain
that the present shortage in British
mercantile tonnage cannot be due in
any considerable measure to the work
OF submarine vessels and mines. The
British losses are vastly heavier than
the losses Of France and all the other
Allies together, the steamers taken or
destroyed numbering, up to March %.
S19. with an aggregate tonnage of
l,320O0O. France comes next. having
lost Al steamers, with a tonnage of
10000 The British losses in sailing
vessels amounted to 10000 tons, with
France a close second at $4,000.
In proportion to the total number OF
vessels under the British flag the re-
suit is not alarming. for it shows that
the reduction in tonnage is but little
more than per cent Il may be noted.
by the way. that eleven years ago a
royal commission appointed to inquire
into the question of food supply in
time Of war estimated the risks pret-
ty accurately. though at that time 1t
was by no means anticipated that any
belligerent would use such unscrupu-
lous methods as Germany has resorted
to in the present war.
II would be misleading TO attempt
any close comparison between the con
dtiOns today and conditions
in former naval wars. but IL is
curious to remark that Lloyds lists
show that for the last nine years Of
the eighteenth century the English
losses averaged about four ships cap
tured every three days II is idle to
liken such losses with those suffered

discarded material can be saved; a
government plant would have to throw
it away or enter into the business of
selling scrap armor steel.
Two facts stand out
First-Armor privately made and

ton and tests is certain to be of the
highest grade; and
Second-Private industry can effect
economies impossible in a government
plant.
The United States have available
three private armor plants, developed
for the use of the government and for
no other purpose.

chased of private concerns, would be
rejected without hesitation. A few
years ago the Bethlehem Steel Com
pany lost 500 tons OF armor, worth

THE DEFENSE OF OUR MARkETs.

FINANCIAL problems are almost as engrossing in
England as military problems Taxes are pii-
ing up and prudent John Bull is trying to look to the
future. The Statist OF the leading financial jour
nails Of Great Britain contributes interesting sug
gestion to the discussion The Statist says "If addi
tonal taxes are imposed the country will be under
the necessity first Of making savings needed to meet
the installments loans payable by investors and,
secondly, Of making the savings needed to meet the
demands Of the tax collector The combined effect Of
these two operations may be appreciable increase
in economy diminished imports, increased exports and
a much more favorable condition Of the trade balance
and of the foreign exchange"
Here is English evidence in support Of the posi-
lion which the Republican party has been urging upon
Americans. The diminished imports" and tie "in-
creased exports which the satist forsees for Eng
land result of wars financial operations have
direct meaning for America Diminished imports"
in the first place the cessation Of war order"
shipments from this country; and in the second place
it that the added efficiency which war condi-
tions giving to British producers will be continued
in the arts Of peace when the is end. Great
Britain in other words, will seek TO supply herself
from her own factories She will do more Through
the speeding up OF her production she will have a
larger supply OF goods with which to go after the in
creased exports" to which the statist refers.
Now the only considerable market for these "in-
creased exports" for Great Britain is in the United
States. Thanks to the low tariff which Mr.. Wilson
and his party have imposed upon the country, we are
open to invasion of British goods whenever the
British producer chooses to send them to For the
moment he cannot do this for he is busy with war
orders at home But the day will come the statist
forsees when Great Britain will show diminished inn
ports" and Increased exports" When that day comes

BRIGHT PROSPECTS

FOR FARMERS.
From the Snow Hill People.
The farmers should begin to cheer
up. There is certainly plenty OF room
for optimism, as 1915 was one of the
most disastrous years in late years
The seasons were bad, crops poor and
prices low
The early potato crop was a dismal
failure last year and many farmers
were hard hit, the larger the crop. the
more money they lost. The wheat
crop was short. and in many cases
harvested in bad condition, though
good price was realized on all mar
ketable wheat. The corn crop was
hurt by both wet and dry weather so
that not more than 60 to as per cent.
Of full crop was harvested.
With good seasons this year the
Worcester county farmers should
cheer up for unprecedented prices
will likely prevail for all farm prod
ucts.
Late potatoes are selling for around
.S5 f. o. b. loading station, which, in
a large measure, helps to make up for
the short yield. This figure presages
a good price for early potatoes and
many planters are hopeful of retriev-
I ing their losses Of last spring.
I Government reports on the indus
trial condition of the country indi-
cate that there will be an unusual de-
mand for anything that the farmer
( grows. The country is experiencing
unprecedented prosperity. and when
! the people have the money to buy the
/ farmers DrOht accOrdinplv
or course there are certain handl-
caps that the farmers must face-the
high cost of fertilizers. seeds and
farm machinery. and the absence Of
potash from fertilizer will have the
: tendency to cut the yield OF some
crops requiring that ingredient.
From the present outlook Worcester
county farmers ought to come back
with a vengeance this year.
