In short there was everything in the welcome to
convince the soldiers OF the thoroughness OF Della
wares appreciation of their services and OF The SOL
dierly bearing that featured their conduct on the
border
One OF the most pleasing features OF tho return is
that there is gap in the ranks and sriefstrcken

dlery way an that it was called upon to do and re-
turned with unbroken ranks and with honor
The fact that il was called into sangulnary CON

counts is that it stood ready TO do what il called

Sir-l take notice in THE EVENING JOURNAL OF

very broad assertions in your columns in regard
to the sealers Of weights and for Kent and
Sussex counties. He claims that there has not been
arrest in either OF these counties since the law
put the statute books i'm 1852. Why? The people
that have had to deal with in Sussex since have
been in the Office honest And he went to say
that Mr. Mcknight OF New Castle county, a

FAIR PLAY TO AMERICANS
OF GERMAN BIRTH AND BLOOD

From the New York Tribune.
In the present hour OF suspense and
rumor The Tribune wishes to bespeak
fair pIav and a clear headed Ameri-
can generosity toward our fellow
citizens Of German birth and descent.
Certain OF our large corporations
with the responsibility for protecting
great and vital properties on their
hands have felt compelled to dismiss
German aliens from their service.
such n course is regrettable, as
necessarily works much individual
Injustice. But It is unavoidable. II
Is one OF the measures or self-pres-
ervation which no nation, under
threat OF war. can refuse to adopt
We lyaow we are speaking for the
great bulk Of our readers, and Tor
The preat hulk Of Americans when we
demand an utterly different attitude
toward American citizens OF German
blood The Tribune has never ques-
iioned for an instant the fundamen-
tal LOYALTY Of our American popula-
tion OF German stock. Those who
have Thought otherwise have compre-
hended neither German character nor
American ideals.
In the period Of suspicion and dis
comfort which is likely TO ensue a
duty rests upon both sides For the
average American it is TO be remem-
bered that Won .Steuben and Schurz
and Sigel are names that have played
as loyal a part In the history of our
country as any other, and that the
friendship and trust we have given
our fellow citizens OF German blood
have never been betrayed. There VIII
be many trying hours for those VINO
hear German names among us. II
should be the part OF every American
To give those hours as little bitter
ness and as much generous sympa-
thy and good viii as we can.
For our citizens OF German blood
The Tribune suggests that they car
do a real service TO their country and
| themselves if they will take the lead
In roofing out such disloyalty as
seeks to hide in their midst No one
knows the extent of the German Sc
cret agent system in America. We
can only assume, by the experience o.
other nations. that il Is widespread
and efficient The problem of dis
covering II and ending it Is a difficult
one The danger is that the tasl
may accuse the innocent and arous'
both the bitterness of Injustice ane
the wrath OF trust deceived. Th'
small percentage Of trouble-makini
aliens may conceivabiy cause endless
| iu-feeling. Our German-born citizens
have II In their power 10 organize
against such treaohery and lend theii
invaluable aid in stamping II out
The Tribune greatly hopes that thel
will so act 10 clear their good nam'
and to help the America we equally
love and serve.

PLANNED TO CUT
COUNCIL TO Il
Dingeman Fra m e s Charter
Amendment; Vote Comes
in the Fall

Harry s. Dingeman, corporation
counsel, has submitted charter
amendment 10 the common council
which provides for n reduction In
the council so that the city will be
represented by one man TO a ward
instead of two as at present. II
this plan r. adopted II will lop OF
the heads OF 21 aldermen who draw
$1,000 each a year. or more than
$4,000 year.
That this plan will finally be put
into effect is believed by those well
informed students OF city affairs
who have given this question study.
This belief Is not founded on the
theory that aldermen want 10 vote
themselves out OF jobs, but on the
theory that the public ls tired Of
the present expensive council and
Is ready 20 agitate for a commission
form OF government unless the coun-
ell follows the plan OF the school
board and becomes smaller.
II Ia planned for the council 10
lay the amendment on the table for
30 days and then take the neces-
sary steps 10 have II submitted 20
the voters at special election In
the fall.
Mr.. Dingeman Is in no sense the
father OF the amendment. but he
drafted n in response TO request
from aldermen who have been urged
10 advance such proposal
