CLoRIOIis FRANCE

n HAKING every allowance for the fine work OF the
WI British and Italians in the world conflict this is In
very special sense Frances II is France at which
the Kaiser aims his most savage and smashing blows
II is France he is seeking 10 ruin by killing her men,
sending her women TO untlmely graves. starving her
children lootng her factories and destroying her or
chards.
And amid all this wreck and ruin there stands that
glorious country returning blow for blow-the marvel
OF an admirng world
She stopped the Huns at the Marne. Almost alone
s sustained the attacks the Somme. BY herself she
repled to the barbarans Verdun. She Is stl holding
$50 miles OF the 45O miles front Her troops repeng

British in the latest thrust In Flanders.
At saloncs the best troops are French. The routed
troops OF Rumana reorsanized by French officers
Begans and Serbs and Greeks have been equipped and
rearmed by the French The arsenals OF France have
furnished the big guns and the ammunition, not only
for the splendid French but for some OF the Al

lars for war purposes OF which only and one-hfh
billions were borrowed and she loaned one billion TO
friendly nations
And this magnificent record has been achieved despite
the fact that some Of the of her ron COAL agrcu
tura and industrial districts have been In the hands OF

Those Deawareans and other Americans who, before
the war were wont to talk glbly OF decadent France
now owe to the Land Of the Lily abject apology and

she has destroyed the transport Antilles and killed at least
seventy Of those who aboard her. She has done that
too despite the fact that the Antilles being conveyed

While the sympathies of Americans stirred by the

Spirit of the Delmarvia Press

year. Last spring when War was de-
clared. many friends Of the College,
were swept of their feet In the eX-
cltement OF the moment and expressed
the fear that college will likely be
closed another year" Even many OF
the Trustees expressed grave doubts OF
this years work. Dean Smith took eX-
actly the opposite view. maintaining
that such a time, was the occasion for
the College 10 render its greatest SER
vice. He argued well, that In such
crisis the College had wonderful oppor-
tunity to do It's bit IN the War. This
idea presented 10 the students caused
them to take second thought and do
the practical thing-prepare themselves
for service requiring trained men. At
the meeting Of the Board Of Trustees
in June, Dean Smith presented a report
giving the results Of a census taken
from the upper classes expressing their
intentions TO return. He urged further,
a special effort TO secure new students.
Following this with his predictions OF
this years student body, he proceeded
to make good his claim. With no addi-
tlonal aid for publicity or campaign,
the College has entered on another
years work with gratifying results.
The decrease from War has probably
been less at Delaware than In any in
stitution OF its size. Dean Smith had
the right idea In the excitement OF the
moment, he seized the opportunity and
has done the real patriotic service. He
spoke the word and gave the facts at
Just the moment when the work of the
College seemed at ebb. He gave the
hope that was needed For all Of which,
he Is 70 be congratulated.
It is hoped this idea will prevail.
National officials, in closest touch with
the Country's needs, are strongly urg-
ing Just this thing--that Colleges, es-
pocially those institutions such as ours,
double their efforts in training men. In
stitutlons such as Princeton, Harvard
and Yale may feel the stress OF War,
but Delaware must remember she is a
state and National Institution and as
such has a peculiar function at this
time A call going out IN the State, CIV
ing prominence TO this view will dc
much toward next years class. which
in turn means State and National Ser
vice.

SOCIALISM AND THE KMsEWs GAME.

~ HE Socialist party in this country is wreck.
/ The real Amercans-men like Charles Edward Rus
SELL William English Wang, John spargo and many
others who could be namedhave left the party in dis
gust Prominent Delaware Socialists, Ike Humphrey
Campbell for instance, have criticized openly the Ma
tonal Socialist party and repudlated It's policies
The leadership that remains is largely pro-Germon.
and is busy playing the pro-German game II seeks TO
paralyze the nghtng Of government and besuie
us into a German peace, well knowing that would be
great and enduring German victory.
Thus the shell Of the Socialist party in America be-
comes mere annex OF the majority Socialists Of Ger
many who have made Of themselves annex to Kali
sersm.
Time was when Socialists prated theirs was the only
real international party the only party which did not
pay any attention frontier lines but considered only
human beings and their needs No King, no Kaiser. no
President could make them forget their common human
ity and ny at each others throats.
All plain bosh and balderdash
When the Kaiser anxious to conquer the world, forced
the war the German Socialists marched up TO the trough
like little German goosesteppng soldiers and voted all
the credits the Kaseriss asked to wage war upon the
great democraces Of France and England.
Not only that, but German Socialists like Suedekum'
Hene Hanlsch, Kob, Geek Lensch, Adelung Quark ana
Iandsberg were Just flushed by the early trumphs
Of German arms over the unprepared nations Of the West
as were the verest nre-eaters who surround Wilhelm
IIohenzolern.
They forgot all about the brotherly love and from
tier business. With vision Of a permanent German
victory they parroted the cry Of the PanGerman ruling
classes.
ansch for instance, late last Fall wrote in Vor-
waerts But far the much discussed annexatons
are concerned have for my part never made Sc
cret the fact that In the interest Of the German people
and especially the working classes, consider extern
sion Of our frontier lines toward the East possibly as
far as the Narew line, highly desirable war aim"
With few exceptions all the Socialists In the Reichstag
have been seized by similar madness and SINH
lar war lust for loot. The braves and best OF those
who stood out against their party. Karl Liebkneeh is
being killed by degrees by his prison sentence for telling
unpalatable truths to royalty.
The majority Socialists WISER They saved their
hides by trailing along the ranks Of the Kaiser sup
porters
Since Mchaelis has the scene, since the Pam
Germans have their demands for heavy indem
mites and big annexations the majority Socialists have
had very little to say
The truth is they either willing to play the KAT
ser's game or they are afraid to do anything else
And their stouteat adherents in this country those
who constitute the shell Of the Socialist party. They do
not stand with LebkOocbt. They stand with the supple
kneed Socialists who immensely naered that some Of
their number were recently invited TO a garden party by
| the Kaiser.

THE nFI.AWAnE REGIMENT.
Ihe Oovnr State News.

From the Dover State News.
We believe we were just as sorry
and dismayed TO hear that the Delaware
Regiment was being disorganlzed, upon
It's arrival at Admission. Alabama, as
any one else in the State. We nad
hoped. with all other Delawareans, that
our troops would 90 TO the front bear
ing the proud name Of the little Dia.
mond State. and that the glory earned
by the Blue Hens chickens on tile
flelds OF battle would reflect TO tue
honor OF little Delaware. When we lIst
heard that the Delaware Regiment was
in the process Of dissolution we were
inclined TO criticize the War Depart
ment for what we believed to be an
injustice. And yet, after receiving full
details of the War Departments motive
In breaking up the Delaware Regiment
we cannot but admit that II IS IN the
right after all
The true facts are that the troops at
Anniston were recognized on the
French system, and six regiments were
combined to form two regiments, 10
comprise the new Flfty-Seventh Brig
ade. None Of the troops will be recog-
nized by their State name. but viii be
part OF q Division, and In that manner
will be sent to France. Only in this
way, It Is pointed out. can the troops
do efIlclent service in France. for were
they sent to that country in state units
II would only be necessary to reorgan-
ize them under the French system after
reaching there.
Therefore, while we had hoped that
the Delaware boys would go into ac-
tlon as a unit, especially after our Gov
ernor and the people Of the State had
worked so hard 10 that end and so
many assurances were made that the
Delaware Regiment would remain in
tact, we must admit that the War De-
partment's action is only right and
proper after all We are sending our
soldier boys into battle to help win
a victory for Democracy, not merely
TO bring honor TO the State Of Della
ware. And II they can accomplish bet
ter results under the new plan OF or
ganization than they could as state
units, then no patriotic citizen can con
scientiously object. The Government +
taking the same ground In this matter
that II did when II refused 10 let Roose'
welt head a Division TO France-th'
ground that we are flohtlng TO win, no
for individual or State honor.
