weeks DR.. Arthur 7. Neale died at
his home, "Delview," near Nc

to Delaware College as director of
the Experiment Station shortly
after the station was established
in 1888. He severed his connection
with the Station in about 1907 or
1908.
The deceased is survived by his
wife who is a sister of Mrs. Alfred
A. Curtis. She was a daughter of
the late Samuel Lindsay, a prom
inent farmer. Since leaving the
college DR.. Neale has managed the
farm where he lived near McClel-
landsville, and which was the
Lindsay homestead farm.
DR.. Neale was Republican and
for some years had taken an active
part in the affairs of his party al
though he never held or sought
public office. He attended several
Republican State Conventions as
delegate from White Clay Greek
Hundred and also served as Reg.
istration and Election officer or
several occasions. He also severa.
as a member and secretary of the

We Can Hardly Escape
War With Austria, In
View of Developments

Evidence secured by seizure Of the J..
w. w. documents viii, very likely dis
close that it has been thru Austrian ele-
ments in this country that Germany has
been able to do things to Uncle Sam.
We may learn how Germany has been
kept so well posted on certain Of our
war movements, for one thing and it
will probably appear that some Of our
factory explosions and strikes were
touched off by our alien Austrians.
With such proof in hand, it will be
hard for Uncle Sam TO longer postpone a
declaration of war against Germany s
chief ally
If we can land troops in France, we
can land them in Italy to move them
against Austria.
When we get to shooting on that Ital-
ian front we surely viii have TO shoot
Turks and Bulgars,
AT any event, the condition of being
at war with Austria and yet not making
war with Austria cannot exist much
longer, and maybe a formal declaration
against her would mean a great disaster
to Germany, since everything indicates
that Austria is sick of the war without
any shooting by Uncle Sam.
Direct backing of Italy by the United
States would be enough to put Emperor
Karl in the peace-at-any-pric class
The prospects are strong for hotter
war rather than peace and, as our enc
mics accumulate. the stronger becomes
our necessity to suppress pacifsm
