The Failure of The German Propagandfsfs
lFrom the ~ York sunl.

Early in the present year Theodore
Wesley Koch, Chief Of the order Divi-
sion OF the Library OF Congress, made
a study Of the working Of the British
censorship as It affected "enemy pub
locations" Believing that the facts re-
garding this censorship should be
known to American librarians, he made
a report upon the subject, which Is
peblished in the current issue Of the
Library Journal.
Mr.. Koch says that no phase Of ac-
tivity which has sprung up as the re-
suit Of the war has been more essen
tial to the public good than the British
War ONCE censorship and that had
Americans gained earlier knowledge Of
the services the censor rendered the
general cause they would doubtless
have accepted with better grace the ne
cessary interference with their mall"
A proof Of It's growth in usefulness is
the fact that the censorship was under
taken In 1914 in a small basement room
with thirty volunteer workers and that
today the London branch occupies six
floors Of large building and employs
5000 persons. It's thoroughness Is shown
by the fact that In the departments OF
uncommon tongues i57 languages are
dealt with by the censor.
The most interesting disclosure was
the extent of the German propaganda
literature. Germany had an unusual adj
vantage in this respect because it bad

An inspection OF returns from cor
poration and income taxes shows an
astonishing sectional arrangement. Nat
urally most income was derived from
New England and the Middle Atlantic
States, together with Ohio and Illinois.
Outside Of these California was the
largest contributor. What seems amaz-
ing Is the small contribution Of the
South, considering that in recent years
prices for cotton, coal. iron and oil have
been so large.
The eleven Southern States paid less
than 100000 income taxes, while Ohio
alone paid more than S8,OOOOOO and IL
lnols almost si2,OOOOOO. The eleven
Southern States have population OF
2i,OO000O. compared with OhiO's 1--WE
and Illinois six millions. Pennsylvania
paid almost SiS,0OO00O and New York
about sS2,OO00O0. Six States paid Sl3i.-
100000 out Of total Of SlS0,OOO,OOO.
The corporation tax = quite as dis
proportionate to population. The eleven
Southern States paid less than $4,000
600, which Is considerably less than was
paid by Ohio alone, while Illinois paid
almost Sl2000,000, being slightly ahead
OF Massachusetts,; Pennsylvania con-
trlbuted over s24,OO0,0OO and New York
more than si6,0O0O0O. The same six
States mentioned above paid $685. OO,-
600 out OF a total Of nearly SiS0O0O,0O0.
Combining the two taxes, six states
paid s250000,000 out OF q total of $780,

Editorial Opinion
CONGREsNONAL AnIouRNMENT.

From the South Bend Tribune. -
Tho plans of congress to adjourn for
the summer within a short time after
the passage Of tho revenue bill will
seem TO thinking observers 10 be an
error, II no worse. The nation needs
congress as a watchdog and as a safety
valve n for no other reasons. Much
as congress has been mallgned for its
dllatory tactics during the past few
months, the facts are that in the main
1t has done remarkably we'll for an Or
ganlzatlon operating along purely poll
teal paths instead OF lines Of national
interest. Only a handful Of congress-
men have refused TO stand behind the
president In his war plans.
Congress has, in fact taken the
phrase stand behind the president" at
face value when probably the president
himself did not 50 intend. This has
been particularly true in the matter OF
record-breaking appropriations. When
Secretaries Baker and Daniels asked for
their original enormous appropriations
congress granted them with scarcely a
demurrer. 10 is doubtful whether half
the members Of congress knew then or
hnow now what the money was used
for, or was TO be used for, except as
included under the phrase for the
war" on top Of these original sppro-
prlations now comes a demand for
more money. Hoover wants more. Sc
does the shipping board. SO does
Daniels. While rich America does moi
wish TO stint Itself or its allies on ex-
pendltures designed to make the war (
success, yet it Is only right and proper
that 1t refrain from buying a pig In {
poke.

sent out before the war propaganda
literature for both religious and cons
mercial purposes on a scale that no
other nation had ever attempted. In
dividuals and establishments had been
receiving for years German literature
in one form or another. At the outbreak
OF the war 1t was mot an occasion for
special surprise for them to receive the
new propagandist literature"
The German oversee service (Ueber-
seedienst) utilized its large pecuniary
resources not only to obtain publica-
ton OF its war news and GermanOphils
articles but It launched newspapers Of
It's own. Among these We're the Ger
mania at Buenos Ayres and papers Of
the same name in Bogota, Guayaquil
and Sac Paulo; the HeraldO Aleman at
San Salvador and the Eco Aleman al
Guatemala. Il promoted the Umschau
and hundschau at Bangkok, the War
In Pekin, a Chinese edition Of the
Deutsche Zeitung fur China at Shang-
hal, and the Kontinentale Korrespon-
denz in German, English, Spanish and
Portuguese, for supplying the neutral
press with ready made copy. II was
responsible for De TOekomist, published
in Dutch in Holland; 1t backed the Com
tinental Times, purporting to be estab-
llshed for Americans in Europe and
was also responsible for La Guasa In
ternacional, comic paper printed in
Spanish.

Mothers Farewell
TO H'r Son
BY h. b. Z.

Within a humble homestead
Sits a woman and her boy.
lie was indeed her idol,
Also her pride and Joy
Tie tells her he must leave her
And soon sail across the sea
To fight for the Land OF Stars and
Stripes
And for Humanity.
With tear-dipmed eyes she softly says
My dear, II you mist so,
God grant you country liberty
And strength TO fight the foe.
Remember what I've taught, son,
To place your trust in He
Who can protect and guide you
Whether on the land or sea.
Do well, my boy your duty,
That is all that you can do,
For you are only one Of hundreds,
But your mothers proud OF you.
hope you and your comrades
viii nobly do their part
And that you will win victory,
III pray with all my heart.
And when the war is over
I hope you will return.
For your success I'll daily pray,
Although my heart Will yearn,
But this world is full Of mothers
Who feel just the same as !.
With heavy hearts they sit tonight
] And bitterly they sigh.

UP TO THE PRESIDENT.

ID REPRESENTATIVE DIXON, OF Indiana, one Of the
N Democratic members OF the Committee on Ways and
Means is quoted saying that the Democrats Of the
House mot ndsposed" to establish the Joint Com
mlttee War Expenditures which Senator Weeks and
Congressman Madden have been battling for.
The disposition Of Congress, however both sides
OF the political fence and at either end Of the capitol IS
Of little consequence so long President Wilson OBJ
poses the creation Of tho committee aud his veto
power.
The increasing demands Tor money which arc be-
ing made upon Congress and the deporabe conditions
which developing thus early in connection with the
preventable high costs Of the war-to say nothing
the disclosures OF defective ammunition which has been
supplied to the troops IN France-make such COM
mittee necessity. But Mr.. Wilson, in his secuson has
not yet been able TO discern this fact.

contributed only 100000 lalthough
they include more than One-fOurth or
the population Of the country, all fig
ures being Of 1910. or a trifle more
than five per cent.
II the South is as poor as these fig
ures indicate, II is It's own fault. With
the greatest cash crop in the world,
with abundant natural resources there
is no reason why the South should not
be richer than bleak New England, for
instance. which contributed s3S,0OO,OO0,
or nearly ten per cent. Of the whole
country, although It's population IS
about one-fourth Of that OF the South
and its natural resources very limited.
There is lack Of thrift in the South.
Money passes through It's hands, but
does not stick. II ought to be rich in
every way, but most Of the recent de-
velopment has been by Northern men
with Northern capital.
It is evident that when the original
income taxes were laid the Southern
leadersNin Congress knew their section
would not be seriously affected, and
even under the super-taxes few
states will pay most Of the bill, which
is a pretty heavy penalty for being
thrifty and enterprlsing. One dollar and
a half on a bale OF cotton will pay all
OF the S0uth's contribution Of last year.
And compared with normal prices the
South made an "excess profit last year
o. about s6O0,0OO0O0. But cotton was
not taxed.

The STAR OF Delaware

Landing where they found a welcome,
Colonists, with Joy. did share
Bounty that partook OF freedom
on the shores Of Delaware;
Early voyagers cast anchor,
Where her rivers made highways,
And as tribute there did render
Homage sweet contentment pays.
In the azure OF Old Glory,
With effulgence rich and rare,
Beaming with its dazzling story,
Shines the Star of Delaware.
Does the splendor OF true valor
Emanate from IIistory's pagef
Can transcendent glory pallor, a
Time heroic deeds assuage?
Glamour deepens with its shadow,
HalOes that invest the book, e
AS we read Of brave Macdonough,
Or how Jones the Frolic took.
In the azure OF Old Glory,
All Respondent with its glare,
Radiant with lasting story,
Shines the star Of Delaware.
Stars I'm harmony a cluster,
Each the token Of a state,
Stripes in folds OF waving lusters
Faith I'm union oOnsecrate;
Emblem first unfurled in battle
When al COOch's Bridge baptized.
Standard that in smoke and rattle,
Freedoms glory symbollzed.
In the azure Of Old Glory.
The first star emblazoned there,
With It's sacred statehood story,
Shines the Star OF Delaware.
Sacred trust within itsakeeping
Lights the star that shines today,
While through maze the future sleeping
Rays Of promise find their wayi
Light to brighten with refinement
Lives Of thousands yet to be.
And to render more respondent
Homes enshrlned in Liberty.
In the azure Of Old Glory,
While bright star-lit tidings marc
Ever flash the same glad story,
Brilliant star Of Delaware.

RoR many years this country has kept its doors open
TO the oppressed OF all nations. We have invited
them to "the land OF the free and the home OF the
brave" We have told them that here was freedom of
speech and Of the press We insisted that
must have his rights
We have fought for these have put them in party plat
forms and have demanded them In the courts We
were ready TO fight the when they inter-
fered.
Now we face a crisis. We are in world war. We nnd
that must make stand for the rights have been
talking about.
tlona but universal We find that 10 protect The rights
Of Americans as men, we must protect the rights OF
other men all over the world
And that means that we have come 10 q point where
we must consider duties as well as rights.
One Of those duties the duty Of every man to make
the necessary Individual sacrifice TO preserve those
rights
TO gain those rights many OF our ancestors gave their
lives the revolutionary TO preserve those rights
many Of them gave their lives in the OF the re-
bellon.
AND now we md that to those rights we must make
whatever sacrifice is necessary 10 gain the rights
for Our brothers all the world.
The preservation Of these rights involves RESPONSE
billy II involves duty. And it is not the duty OF few
Of Us. but the duty Of all Of us.
Is the duty not clone Of those born In this country
but also OF all who 60 this country 70 enjoy the
blessings Of liberty. II is the duty OF all who
born in Delaware and OF all who have come TO Bella
ware.
Freedom OF speech and OF the press does not mean
that either natve-born citizens aliens have the right
to lend aid and comfort to the enemy by trying to
vent us from preserving those rights Their duty
sreat ours.
Equal rights mean equal duties.
No who lives in the United States has any right
which absolves him0rom the duty Of making whatever
sacrifice either Of blood treasure necessary to pre-
serve that right
Those who boast OF rights must do their duty And
that goes for every mans dollars as we'll as his blood.

SPIRIT OF THE
DELMARVIA PRESS
THE NEW SCHOOL.

THE NEW SCHOOL.
From the Laurel Leader.
II was unpleasant 10 learn during the
last week that the new public school
may be held-up because Of the high
cost Of material and labor and an ex-
ira $4,000 is needed to construct a
building such as has been tentatively
selected by the members Of the Board
Of Education.
OF course this is question to be met
with consideration. The last election
when the voters approved the $685. 900
bond issue gave excellent illustration
OF our progressive spirit, although there
were several who voted against the is-
sue. Now II will be but a short time
before the voters will be called on to
vote on the additional $4,000 bond is
sue, and this Will be the time to show
our real progressive spirit.
We have agreed to spend $4,000
there can be no such thing as hesitating
on the extra $4,000. IL means a new
school within a few months and IL
means bis advantages to the children.
AAD RAtAo NANfNNV Af4bAA Gu Will illtdl
an increase in tax rate-we know taxes
are high now-but the few points diff
ference will not be material in any indi-
vidual case.
Let every resident ia, Laurel, whether
a parent or not, show'his or her inter
est in the children Of today by coming
forward and doing his or her bit with
out hesitation when the question is put
before us.
The Board Of Education has worked
faithfully to put the new school plaT
through. Let everyone OF us help them
. Remember the children Of today are the
men and women OF tomorrow. He'll
them. Education Is their future. Max
! their future bright and prosperous.
Vote for the extra $4,000 bond lssu,
and you will have something to remem
Der in the future which will be worth
while.
