bury, sis that he considers it only
reasonable and just that Delaware,
as one of the Is original States
which founded this union should
be individually represented in the
new army. Maryland and Vir-
ginia will have their own distinct
regiments and odd units of their
men will be used to fill up the regi-
ment from Delaware
The Delaware delegation was in
high spirits today at the favorable
action by the Secretary of War,
since it came when they had vir-
tually given up hopes of changing
general order covering all the
former national guard regiments.
At conference on Monday
Senator Salisbury told the war
secretary that Delaware had con-
tributed more than its share in
worldly goods and men to Amer
ica's cause, and that a protest from
those who had sent their sons,
husbands and fathers to fight and
perhaps die for their country
should not be treated lightly. He
cited the fact that Delaware leads
the country in its contributions to
the American Red Cross and more
than its share to the first Liberty
Loan, and that preparations were
now being made to make a success
of the second Liberty Loan next
month. He stated that the wo-
men of the State had their whole
hearts in this war, and that they
were knitting sweaters and other
wearing apparel for the men at the
front, and that the Delaware chill
dren were doing their bit for their
country.
Following the conference, Sem
ator Salisbury wired Governor
Townsend at Dover:
Believe from my talk with
Secretary of War Baker, this
morning, there is more than pos
sibility of preserving the integrity
and identity of the First Delaware
Regiment. Do everything you can
to this end"

ROAD BUILDING
PLANS PROGRESS
Traffic Census Throughout
The State

The State Highway Commission
met in Dover last Wednesday. AL
the members were present except
Josiah Marvel, who was detained
at home, because of an accident to
his daughter, who had suffered a
broken collar bone.
Several subjects pertaining to
the improvement of the State high
ways were discussed, among which
was the surveying of all roads in
the State within the next four
months, after which tentative
plans for a comprehensive system
of road building will be submitted.
1t is hoped by the next meeting OF
the board, within the next two or
three weeks, to have the plans for
the road building ready for con-
struction work early in the spring.
It is more than likely that $500,
900 work of road building will be
laid out for next year.
TOlll the Iepoi Us iCSCLscu II Oiii
the traffic census takers appointed
by the board some weeks ago, and
who started work last Monday, for
the observance of traffic on the
roads throughout the State at CEN
trail points, some very peculiar
conditions are shown. Roads which
were thought to be heavily used
by automobiles and lightly by
horse-drawn vehicles reflected a
reverse condition. Points which
were thought to be heavily used
were found to be the reverse.
1t is the intention of the depart
ment to take this census one day
each week for the next six weeks
and cover the succeeding day in
each week as the census taking
progresses.

Realizing that poultry industry
is destined to play an important
part on the war for democracy, in
that eggs and poultry will be need
ed for food by both the fighters
abroad and those who stay at
home, members Of the Diamond

pose in that it would be an educa-
ton for those who are unacquaint-
ed with the egg producers as live
stock and also serve the general
purpose of displaying what thor
oughbreed fowls should be in
color, type, etc.
It was stated at the meeting that

educators contended that the sort of
physical training required in military
course lacks elements of exercise essen
tial to wcll-rounded bodily development.
and that military drill in schools does not
really teach boys the art of war because
they are too young to handle real wea-
pons and undergo the rigors Of adequate
instruction.
Mr.. Eastman a student of psychology,
declared the psychology of military
training is opposed to every educational
theory of American democracy. and that
the enactment of compulsory military
training legislation would be the great
est step backward the nation ever has
taken. The sole purpose of military
training, he said, was to train out of a
man his individual initiative and to cul-
tivate the instinct of submission. He
argued that adequate payment would
bring all the soldiers the country might
need.
The present agitation for military
training, Mr.. Eastman said, is only the
plea of aristocracy to sustain its posi-
ton. He satirized the pleasure which
he said the socially elect derived from
publication to the fact that Vincent AS

He Calls 1t "MOnstrous."
Brent Allanson, of Harvard, declared
that "conscription of people to kill with
out having any say as to whether we
go to war is monstrous" He added he
hated everything military" though he
was 2 member of the Harvard battalion.
Columbia men who went to Platts-
burg, said Edward NJ. Early, of Column
bia, returned filled with the idea that
war was certain and were not open to
discussion of the subject. Robert
Dunn, editor of the Yale Courant, took
similar view.
"This question of Defense said Dunn,
is overworked in the discussion of pre-
parations," adding that the "inspirational
addresses" by army officers and others
at Plattsburg had inculcated fatalistic
ideas about war.
Other members of the college dele
cation included Wayne Meyers and J.

sity of Pennsylvania. Each said he

INSISTS ON RIGHT TO STRIKE.

Washington.-ln an all-day hearing
commerce President Furuseth of the In
ternational Seamen's Union smashed the
theory that congress has a right to pro-
hibit employees suspending work.
The trade unonist said this scheme
was an ancient one and he cited similar
attempts by Roman rulers to hold men to
their jobs by anti-combination DEGREES.
"ln the name of the scamen protest"
he said, against any legislation that will
in any way prevent either an individual
or combination of individuals from
quitting work at any time, for any reason
or no reason.
What have the working people to
scll?' he asked Nothing but their la
Dor power What belongs to the people
who come here asking for this strike
prevention legislation? They own the
means of production-the mines the
forests. the oil wells, the manufacturing
establishments, the railroads and the
ships. But these things are of no value
to their owners unless they can obtain
the labor power of the working people,
and in proportion as they can get that
labor power cheap it becomes more
valuable.
$50 these railroad owners come here
asking for shackles to put upon the
working people and demanding the power
to strip the working people of the only
defense they have today-the right to
strike"

ADJUSTMENTS
LYRIC.

The attraction at this theatre next
week will be John Cort's original produc-
ton of the Casino Theatre, New York,
musical triumph, Flora Bella" book by
Felix Doermann, revised and adapted
by Cosmo Hamilton and Dorothy Don
nelly; lyrics by Percy Waxman and
score by Charles Cuvilier and Milton
Schwarzwald. Lima Abarbanell, who
gained her greatest prominence in this
country in "Ihe Merry Widow and
Madame Sherry" both Of which i'm
mense successes were produced at the
New Amsterdam Theatre, New York, is
equally as fortunate in having an ex-
ceptionally fitting role in this delightful
production. The story has to do with
cabaret singer known as Flora Bella,
who marries a Russian nobleman with
out that august parsonage knowing bv
what manner of means she made her liv-
ing previously. In his home the girl
takes on a most dutiful and demure
mode of life In fact, she becomes so
sedate that her husband, who Graves for
excitement and a more than usual
amount of frivolity, grows tired of her
When an old friend of her actress days
accidentally visits the palace of the
young people he inadvertently leaves a
photograph of his favorite Flora Bella
showing her in all the fnery of pair
of silk tights and opera cloak. The hus.
band discovers the picture and, accusing
his wife of having been photographed
in such raiment, is told that the picture
is that of a cabaret singer, an outlaw
sister, who resembles his wife very
much. He takes an unexpected inter
est and VOWS he will visit Petrograd
and rescue her; that sister-in-law of his
should not be left to lead a cabaret life
and that he will bring her to their home.
Flora Bella takes a different route to
Petrograd and when her husband ar
rives she is again the cabaret singer with
a multitude worshipping her. The hus-
band, not being able to determine she is
his wife, falls madly in love with the
girl and an ingenious finale eventually
arrives There are some twenty num-
bers in the fascinating score while the
production is unquestionably pleasing to
the eye. The original cast will be seen
here including Charles Purcell, Irving
Brooks, Adolph Link Robert O'Connor,
Roydon Keith, Gilbert Clayton, Murel
Hudson, Louise de Rigney and many
others.

observation-disclosures opposition to

or training was expressed before the
Senate Military Committee recently by
several speakers for the American I'm

physical educators, headed by DR.. James

benefit would be derived from military
training in the schools. They were fol-

under the leadership of Max Eastman,
formerly of Columbia University.
The committee, which has under con-
