cERMANYs EMprYTNo LARDER.

~ ERALANY is not starving. But Germany is hungry.
VI Procuring a satisfying meal becomes daily more
task and OF possibility Information coming from
Europe from time to time cannot have failed to impress
those facts upon Delawareans.
The masses never know what It is to have their hun
ger absolutely appeased.
Every hope raised by conquerlng new territory has
been dashed The conquest OF RumsnIa brought little
food to Germany Grain and other foodsturs found in
Wallachla were largely used in feeding the German
armies The same will be true OF the Russian territory
oyerrun by the kaisers men,
The question OF transportation serious in Germany.
The railroads breaking down FOR want OF repairs and
lack OF new rolling stock. II It IS impossible for the Ger
mans 20 keep their present lines IN good order II is
more impossible TO ind and materials to build
lines carry food the people at home The railroads
are taxed to their full capacity IN carrying and
nltons to The fronts and returning wounded and sick
men.
So Germany confronted by the fact that the larder
slowly but surely dwndlng recent Josh" printed in
German paper makes this clear. Cards emitting the
people to supplies issued regularly but often there
are no supplies to furnish what the cards call for.
To emphasize this some wag issued these "instruc-
tons TO puzzled cooks:
"Take the butter card stew Il down with the meat
card and add the egg card In separate saucepan cook
the potato and vegetable cards together and when done
add these 10 the stew dessert up the potato
bake with It the bread and biscuit cards. Then wash
your.hands with the soap card and wipe them dry with
the table linen voucher"
Now people who can print this kind OF humor and
laugh over t arc not yet IN dire straits The starving
man does not enjoy jests about his starvation.
Il is just as WELL therefore, for Americans to steel
themselves 10 the thought that Germany cannot be starved
into submission She must be beaten into submission
She must be beaten so badly, thoroughly that even
German wits will be unable TO extract humor out OF the
situation.
The German military machine must be destroyed. The
German military leaders and their ruling caste must be
toppled from the places Of power which make them
standing menace to the peace and order OF the world
only when Germany is no longer war machine only
when The people really rule and democracy is established
there will be possible for. this country and the allies
10 Law down their arms and Nike up more the ordi-
nary and satisfying tasks Of civilization.
The Job outlined is a huge one. It will call upon
America for all her resources Of money and mate
rals But It's Job that has to be done.
We have got TO break Germany or Germany will
break us Every Deawaean who does not recognize that
fact already is short-sghted.

Polish interests are in accordance with
those OF the Central Powers. They
know already that Poland belongs 10
the west, and can go hand In hand
with the west. All that they lacked
until now was evidence to convince tho
whole nation OF the good intentions OF
the Central Powers"
But does he really speak for the Pol
ish people2 How far have they for
gotten the great national wrong that
was done them by Maria Theresa Of
Austria and Frederick OF Prussia and
their successors? Earlier expressions
Of the Poles in both Austria and prus-
STA were decidedly unfavorable TO their
acceptance Of the rule of either coun-
try.
While the Poles Of Galicia have en-
1oyed certain rights OF local govern
ment since 1867, they have recognized
the fact that these concessions are
merely part Of the Austrian policy Of
playing one racial unit against anoih-
er. In Prussia the policy of Prusslnca-
ton begun by Bismarck and ever since
carried on by the Hohenzollern Gov
eminent has aroused the most bitter
opposition among the Polish people.
AT the beginning Of the war the Poles
were engaged in an active political
struggle against Germany. and many
Of them fed the country TO avoid SER
vice in the German army.
It is doubtful II the Poles will rush
to swell the German army more quick
~ now than they did last November.
II is doubtful. too, II they will realize
Austria's dream Of forming a solid
Germanic majority to whip the Czeclis
ana other races Of the empire into
/ subsection. There is every reason TO
believe that the Poles will gain their
Independence and an autonomy OF gov
eminent. President Wilson spoke OF
them as one OF the smaller people who
should have freedom. Italy, France and
Great Britain have all demanded an IN
dependent Poland as q condition Of
( permanent peace. The Polish people
with the memory OF their years Of
suffering and struggle, will see in the
promises and demands OF the Allies
more hope for freedom than in the
questionable schemes Of the Central
Powers.

Nv a vote Of 40 to "a the Senate re-
iected the zonlng plan OF postage
charge.
That is good.
If-the coming system had been estab-
lished Il would be gripping TO many
great publications but much as the
publications would lose, business would
lose immeasurably more.
one OF the fine things in America is
tho cheapness Of communication. Eu-
rope was held I'm rival camps because
communication is not so free, so easy
or so cheap.
There are more publications in
America than in all the rest Of the
world There are publications that
reach practically every nook In Amer
lea. A message in such a publication
reaches all America. That's great as
sct-to have the nation so knit in us
literature that all the people can De
reached.
And think what il means in bust
ness sense. A manufacturer, through a
few national publications, can address
the largest body Of buyers In the
world. That makes possible production
on scale and with an economy not
10 be had anywhere else in the world.
The bigger the market the greater
the economy in manufacture ana the
cheaper the goods to the public.
The national publication is sreat
asset. too, in aiding gradually to bring
the immigrant into the American cis-
Gle. No country has more acute prop
lens in regard to Its foreign popula-
ton than has America. This has been
demonstrated much 20 our surprise
chaerin and sorrow. within the lasi
three years. There must be no cheek
TO the welding process.

The Zone Postage Defeat
IFrom DAILY financial Amerlcal.

UnouestIonably. IL the zone system
had been introduced the national pub
LEGATION would have been blighted. The
cost OF such papers as the Saturday
Evening Post the Manufacturers Rec
ord. the Scientific American, such
magazines as Popular Mechanics, Sys-
TEN. The Outlook, Worlds Work, Lit
erary Digest. etc, would have TO
double their prices to their distant
Subscribers or print their publications
in not one place but IN each zone 50
as TO escape the heavy postage charge.
It would mean duplication, tripuca-
ton. quadruplicotion OF printing
plants such as would be a horror.
And the public would pay. 1t would
pay in extra price for It's reading ana
in extra price for the articles u now
buys cheaply because Of the big ma
tlonal market that is IN america.
Unquestlonably the Post ONCE De-
partment loses money through the
cheapness with which II carries second
class matter. Unquestionably, it loses
money through the Congressional Rec
ord and the shameful amount OF no
account stun the Washington depart
ments and the members OF Congress
send through free mails.
/ There should be a rectifcation OF
these things, particularly In these war
times. The profits Of publishers fur
nish good way Of reaching the men
who make money out OF tho printed
word Tax EN- as you tax the steel
man, The copper man, and the other
ones WHO are profiting.
But there's no need in doing this
10 inlure the really great work the
lnstional publication performs in Great
ing. sustaining and broadening tie no
tional marketing system of America.

The Shipyards Strikes
From Che New York Trlbunel.

We do not believe that any drastic
measures will be needed to reopen The
shipyards. The British government
whose authority TO deal with labor
disturbances goes further, perhaps, 80
far as mere legislative warrant IS con-
cerned. than our governments does,
has had TO face many strikes and
threatened strikes in the munitions
coal mining and other industries It mas
dealt with them by mingling per
suasion and force, by appealing to tne
patriotic feeling Of the men, as wen
az holding over their heads the threat
OF coercion.
Persuasion viii probably be q SUI
flclent weapon with our shipyard
strikers. American labor in general hos
shown a sound patriotic spirit since
the war began. II has, on the whole.
been wisely led, the sedition and pacl-
flsm OF the I. W. w. radicals being the
exception which proves the rule. Ine
conditions which caused the Pacific
Coast strike are still obscure. II was
precipitated, apparently by some
thing like a misunderstanding. The
strike leaders in California may have
been over-hasty. Their desire to take
advantage OF a tempting opportunity
to boost wages may have blinded thenl
to the gravity, from the military point
of view, Of any interruption Whatever
Of rush work on warships and 1000
and munitions carriers.
The Secretary Of the Navy and the
Shipping Board are already in a posi-
ton to regulate wages In connection
with such contracts as call for a per
centage of profit TO the builder. They
can decide TO what extent the demands
for wage increases are reasonable
They cen urge the companies to MAKE
concessions in all cases where wages
are relatively low. Time Is more i'm
portant element than cost in the race
to Guido the German submarine.
But II an investigation OF the origin
of the present strike discloses any
purpose OF wanton obstruction ant
any desire TO play into Germany's
hand the government may as well pre-
pare to fight that spirit resolutely anc
in the omen. War work must be unln'
terrupted. War conditions, therefore
call for legislation forbiddlng strike;
which will aid the enemy.
There should be no hesitation or
this point. The government has deal
sterniy with the I. w. w. trouble
makers. whose seditious intent is I'M
mlstakable. It should now be armed
with all the powers necessary to dea
with other strike fomentors, whether
they allege or not a purely selfish eco
nouiic motive for the obstruction o
work which is Of urgent military i'm
portance.

ASKS CLUB WOMEN TO AID IN ATTENDANCE
CAMPAIGN


CAMPAIGN
a SPECIAL appeal 70 club women in the United states
N has been issued by the United states Commissioner
Education Dr. p. p Claxton urging that the influence
the organizations they represent be given 10 the main
OF the schools Of the nation in their full efficiency
during The present crisis Or. ClaNton. says:
everywhere there to be fear lest our schools
OF all kinds and grades and especially the public schools
viii suffer this year because Of conditions growing out
Of our entrance into the on the other hand both
for the present defense and for the future welfare OF
our country as well the individual benefit Of the
children it is Of the greatest importance that the schools
shall be maintained in their full efficiency both as to stan
dards Of work and attendance OF children.
"Whlle the war continues there will be many unusual
temptations to many kinds Of juvenile delinquencies
Prompt regular attendance at school and proper EN-
ploymeut during out-of-school hours will be the chill
dren's surest protection against such temptations.
.when the boys and girls OF school age have
reached manhood and womanhood there viii be need for
higher standard Of Intelligence skill and wisdom for
the work Of life and for the duties and responsibilities Of
citizenship than we have ever yet attained schools
must now be so sustained and improved to enable
them better prepare boys and girls for life and
work in The age which will follow the close Of the
war and the coming Of peace. No boys and girls must
now be neglected or exploited for selfish ends.
in al this probably others be quite helpful
as the club of the country most Of whom are
also mothers OF children. For this l am taking
the liberty OF suggesting to them that in all womens
clubs this should be made subject Of discussion at their
nrst meetings this FAN and from time to time through
out The year."
sisiy The club women OF Delaware will not be behind
the sisters In other states in responding to such OPP
peal.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER q. 1917.
WE SHOULD SEND Tine BULGARIAN LEGATION HOME.

THE allied diplomats too polite to open
opinion about our diplomatic pitching but they
deeply puzzled to why we continue relations OF amty
with Bulgaria and allow the Bulgarian minister full
swing
Sooner or later they feel the United States will realize
the necessity Of breaking OF relations with Bulgaria
They think It ought to be rather than later.
1t is all very well to say Bulgaria has given
easus be. That may hold true IN theory not prac-
lice The Bulgars have $4,000 we'll trained troops
this war. They hold Serbia. They face Russians and
Rumansns In Rumania With Germans, Austrians and
Turks they face the Allies at Monastir.
Every Bulgarian regiment engaged in war work there
BY automatically relieves German or an Austrian regl-
ment for work elsewhere
Germans soon VIII be killing American soldiers be-
cause they win be spared for this work by the Job Bull
garian troops doing elsewhere So whether we want
to call It so not Bulgarian troops will be lighting
ours Indirectly.
But there Is stil another phase. Zach bellgcrent is
anxious for information concerning preparations and
plans OF the others. Germany wants to know how we
are getting along with seectve service armies with
naval plans for destroyers and submarine chasers
with our aviation program with manufacture big
and little guns, rifles and ammunition
The most likely agency for the transmission Of this
kind Of news is the Bulgarian legation
The Bulgarians pick up in the capital much news
that would be worth great deal TO the prussan war
masters.
IL is high time realize that are really at war
and that OF the essentials OF warmakpg Is TO close
all news to the enemy.
There is always danger that we may wake up too
late We almost had such awakening when German
submarines lay in wait FOR the transports bearing Fer
shings army TO France. The next time the enemy may
be more successful
The Bulgarlans the enthusiastic allies Of the Ger
mans. Whenever a Bulgarian can get information that
win be OF value TO Germany he VIII be doing something
Of value to Bulgaria
But the United states should be Of the places
where he can get such Information. And the way 10
prevent Is to give the Bulgarian legation It's warkng
papers.
