'WOMENP[ PLANNING ID

Mrs. S0lon Jacobs to Attend National Suffrage Execu-
 tive Council Meeting

Mrs. Solon Jacobs will leave Monday for Washington to attend meeting of the executive council of the National American Woman Suffrage association February 23, at which some plan of ac- tion for the women suffragists of America in event of war will be outlined
 At the meeting will be 100 members, representing all the states in the union, according to the call sent out by Mrs Carrie Chapman Catt, president of the National association.
 It is stated by Mrs. Catt that the Ma
 tional association is equipped to render genuine service when it shall have been determined what that service shall be.
 Tt has an organization in every congress |sional district in the country said Mrs. Catt, "a state organization in each state and auxiliary organizations in all large
 cities. Its membership exceeds 1000 900 women.
 The official call sent out by Mrs Catt and received by Mrs. Jacobs, in part, follows:
 If we are to be involved in war this is no time to offer pointless promises of
 assistance. said Mrs. Catt ''In the begin ming of the European war the women were uncertain what they could do and whether they were wanted, while the governments underestimated their capac- ity and hesitated to call upon them for any service. The result has been serious economic mistakes for which those coun- tries are paying dearly. In order to avoid these blunders We propose to care fully consider the capacity of women to help in our own crisis and to make a definite proposal to the government which
 we can guarantee to carry out success fully"

 STATUS TOMORROW
Decision on Proposition of Who Is Chief Prosecuting Officer of Circuit Court
 to Be Handed Down

A decision on the status of Solicitor Hugo L. Black and Circuit Solicitor Joseph R. Tate is expected to be handed down tomorrow by the supreme court. The case was argued before the court two weeks ago, and was submitted to Justice J. J. Mayfield, who. it Is under stood, is ready to hand down his opinion. The point involved is whether Solicitor Black or Circuit Solicitor Tate is the chief prosecuting officer of Jefferson county with the right to name such as- sstants as the office may require
 Under the provisions of the consol- dated court bill some difference of opin- ion arose as to whether Solicitor Black cutting attorney. Both officers claimed authority as such, and previous to the court bill going into effect, MT. Tate un- dertook to assume charge of the solic- itor's office and named his assistants. His appointees were James Davis, John F. Mccoy and Wallace McAdory. so- licitor Black also claimed the office, re- taining W. s. Welch and appointing Ben F. Ray as assistant solicitor in the place of James Davis. resigned.
 In order to bring the matter before the court quo wararnto proceedings were filed in the circuit court, seeking to oust Solicitor Black from the office of chief prosecutor. Judge Sharpe decided that Solicitor Black was the officer in charge and the case went to the supreme court an appeal from Judge Sharpe's decision Later motion was argued before Judge w. E. Fort demanding that MT. Black turn over all the papers and documents connected with the solicitors office to Mir. Tate Judge Fort held that Solicitor Black was the constituted authority and denied the motion. Mandamus proceed ings in the supreme court seeking to compel the turning over of the official papers to MT. Tate followed, and both phases of the situat tion were argued be- fore the supreme court at the hearing two weeks ago.
 There is decided conflict of opinion as to which one of the two solicitors will be held to be in authority, but which ever way the court decides the case, botf will be retained. Their apointees will be the ones affected. The outcome of the case is being watched with. much inter est

The Anti-license campaign in Will

the Milford Chronicle "is growing in
intense earnestness, and the two weeks
intervening between now and the

efforts from both sides to gain votes
for better moral conditions in Will
mington and New Castle, and create
greater efficiency among the working
classes. Men can and will do better
work, and so increase production as a
result of the better civic and moral

The true facts in the case of the
Delaware Regiment being scattered,
which has stirred the feelings of the
friends of soldiers so much, are ex-
planned by The Delaware State News of
Dover, as follows: "That the troops at
Admission were reorganized on the
French system, and six regiments were
combined to form two regiments, to
comprise the new Fifty-Seventh Bri-
gade. None OF the troops will be rec
ognized by their State name, but will be
part of Division, and in that manner
will be sent to France. Only in this
way, it is pointed out, can the troops do
efficient service in France, for were
they sent to that country in State
units it would only be necessary to
recognize them under the French
system after reaching there. There
fore, while we had hoped that the
Delaware boys would go into action
as unit, especially after our Cover
nor and the people of the State had
worked so hard to that end apd so
many assurances were made that the
Delaware Regiment would remain
intact. we must admit that the War
Department 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
Delaware. And if they can accom-
plish better results under the new plan
of organisation than they could as
State units. then no patriotic citizen
can conscientiously object. The Gov
eminent is taking the same ground ir
this matter that it did when it refused
to let Roosevelt head a Division t
France-the ground that " are fight
ing to win, not for individual Of
State honor.

and the teachers and citizens, good

of Delaware near and dear to heart.
He labored continually for better con-

ested in the rural plan of consolidated
schools and worked diligently to get
the new school bill thru the last Leg

The laws of Delaware make it
obligatory upon all persons who oper-
ate an automobile after nightfall to
maintain two white lights on the front
of the machine and one red light on
the rear. This applies to the auto
mobile whether standing or in motion
and each policeman in Delaware has
been instructed to enforce this law,
by the Attorney General, or by the
Deputy Attorney Generals. There
fore any objection to prosecution fer
failure to observe the law has no
standing for, all must comply. and
excuses are not to be taken. But,
in the enforcement of the law the
police have the right to use common
courtesy, proper regard for the con.
ditions surrounding the offense. Then,
on the other hand, the defendant must
remember that the police are bnt
servants of the law, charged with it's
enforcement, and can make no changes
in the requirements. There has been
made for months past an effort to stop
speeding in Delaware by drivers of
automobiles, and heavy fines have
been imposed. In the enforcing of
the laws, there has undoubtedly been
poor judgment displayed in many
towns between Wilmington and Sell
byville, by the police discharging the
duty placed upon them. Law-abidine
people have been compelled to pay
fines for trifiing alleged to have beer
committed by failure to sound horns
at street crossings. and at cross
streets where vehic les seldom ar,
seen, and common sense application
of the laws seem never to have en-
teredithe problem. Travel has be
come so great on public highways an
streets of towns. that it is necessar
to compel automobiles to adhere t
the law, and this is for the safety o
the public. Milford Chronicle
