REMEMBER THE LUsITANIA!

n 1898 when this country finally went to war with
Spain, the meaning Of that conflict plain. This
country could longer endure at its very doors the
spectacle of decayed monarchy fastening its rule upon
rebeous people. It could no longer passively watch
the suffering OF the people Of Cuba. So we went into
battle drove tyranny forever tho West Indies
The battle cry then was Remember the Mano!"
Today the American people are flying
their battle flags they preparing TO fight
for liberty against autocracy Only this time, instead
Of setting little island free they striving TO set
free whole world that in all Christendom there
shall be government by the consent OF the gov
erned that the democracies OF the world shall not
dwell forever under the shadow and the menace OF
military autocracy that respects neither the laws of
God OF man. In this crusade the battle cry
may very appropriately be Remember the Lusitana"
For us as Americans this very perfectly sums up
the thing we are making ready to fight The military
caste that has fastened itself lik upon the
German nation has displayed utter contempt for the
solemn covenants by which world affairs are regu-
lated.
Those who violated Belgium and turned treaties for
its protection into mere scraps of paper: those who
sacked Belgian and French cities who deported non
combatants into Germany where they were forced to
labor for hated foe; those who have made OF inter
national law CHASTITY mockery in their cursed
careers did anything shocking than when without
warning and without mercy without regard for the
laws of the dictates Of common humanity, they
attacked and sank the Lusitana with its precious
freight of American men, women and children who had
a perfect right TO travel the high seas
The government which sanctioned that massacre
which defended it and never dsowned or apologized
for it, is beyond the pale We will no longer treat
with it, We will believe its most solemn assur-
We only can do our best in conjunction with
the Allies, to destroy it forever.
Remember the Lusitanial"
That should be the slogan, and Doawaroans should
be among the foremost TO take it up and to send it

NO FLINCHING-GO THE LIMIT.

Il ROM many splendid paragraphs in President Will
~ sons noble message calling the nation to arms we
quote the following expressing what to
our complete justification for and should continue
to be the soul and heart OF national purpose:
1--WE are about to accept the gage or battle with
this natural foe to liberty and shall necessary spend
the whole force OF the nation check and nufy its
pretensions and its power. We are glad now that we
see the facts with veil of false preense them
to fight thus for the ultimate peace OF the world and
for the liberation OF its peoples the German peoples in
cluded for the rights OF nations great and small and
the privilege OF men everywhere choose their way
OF life and obedience The world must be made safe
for democracy. It's peace must be planted upon the
trusted foundations of political liberty"
That this newspaper approves OF the Presidents war
message even to the last sentence word hardly need
be said TO those OF readers who have done us the
honor Of reading editorials during the present
emergency
II there be citizen OF this country so lacking in pa
solemn hour imposes upon him, that he hestates to
make whatever sacrifice may be called for he is un
worthy TO enjoy the liberty dearly purchased by the
revolutionary fathers.
We are about to go to not only to preserve our
liberties but TO help all the other liberty loving
peoples Of the world gain and preserve theirs.
No nation went to war with less selfish pur
pose, for more noble cause.
Our allies the great European democracies which
for nearly three years have been fighting our fight
just as now We shall fight theirs
We are all at one and must continue at one in our
determination to crush forever the remaining mill
tary autocracy that menaces the worlds liberties.

others il may be fresh news. In any event. we use II
as a hook upon which TO hang plea to Delawareans
who desire to give aid to starving Belgian children to
the Delaware Commission as the agency for for
warding that relief
That plea made necessary by discovery OF the fact
that many generous-hearted men and in this
State have sent their contributions directly to New

doing that and turn their money into the Delaware
Commission.
In Belgium there are 100000 children who are in
desperate need Of aid Because of lack Of food they

instances from disease One dollar month will keep
OF those children alive
There has been apportonment by districts, of
those children among the states in Union. Della

600 will keep those $500 Belgian boys and girls alive

will know that it came from Delaware.
Every dollar sent by Delawarean through an out

Delaware Commission in providing for the safety and
comfort OF the $500 boys and girls who have been
assigned specifically to Delawareans for relief pur-
poses
We hope this statement will result not only in pre-
venting further contributions through outside agencies
but that also will lead many persons who have not
yet given or who may desire to give again. to send their

Christian Experience
Written for Evening Journal
BY James T.. CrOzler.

If you have that loving child-like trust,
You should have on life's pathway.
There is naught to fear in this world
down here
God cares for His own each day.
Keep close to His side as you pass
along
Just trust and believe His word,
To the man or woman no harm shall
That have faith and who love the
Lord
It's the Christians wealth more pre-
cious than gold
That this world cannot take away,
It is sweet to know as you travel the
road,
You have II each night and day.
How precious to know as you fall
asleep.
You are safe in His keeping there,
For all through the night you are still
in His sight.
No matter just where you are.
His blood will cleanse you from every
sin.
No matter how deep the stain;
And your life so changed by your love
for Him.
You'll be safe from such sins again
Hope is the anchor OF the soul,
SO long as we firmly stand,
And some sweet day we shall go to
sleep
And wake up in Beulah Land.
Then ill us. Dear Lord, with that
child-like trust,
AS the days shall go swiftly by.
So when we shall get to the jour
ney's end.
We shall not be afraid to die.
For we know there's a home prepared
for us.
Where we'll spend all Eternity;
So look up and trust, my Christian
friends,
That home is for you and me.

IF it be established that the death-deang explosions

TO German ploers all the available resources OF the
county state and Federal Governments should be

And il those perpetrators be found no time should

the law for the murderous work they have done
AT this writing 1t known that 112 persons are dead
that between 100 and injured and that much OF
the plant is reduced to wreckage OF those seriously
injured many may die. It is tragedy without par
ael in this section of our country.
It has not been established definitely OF course that
the explosion was the work Of German plotters. The
prevailing opinion s however that they were respon-
sble for IT, and that it constitutes another challenge

have hesitaed pothing Of diaboca nature in this
country and abroad, and who may be depended upon

Always the United States has wasted much food
as It uses-perhaps There is waste in production

thrive on what American family throws away With
a world facing famine this evil must be ended. Can
any public official mobilize the thriftess consumers OF

The problem of conservation Of the food supply is
one OF prime importance Our navy and our allies
may keep the Germans from shores. but famine

is well that against this the government is already on

There is no Delaware farmer who should fail TO take
