A GREAT many persons are not yet convinced that
"A war is a serious business.
They think 70 IS new diversion in which others
play the game while they watch the performance.
They think this diversion ought TO be highly
amusing like a good drama perhaps and that II ought
not entail any hardshps tho part Of the spectator
When the nrst little pinch is felt they Immediately
begin to yelp.
War is serious business.

for the army and navy

Every person must stand some share OF the cost.
No one can stand the side lines and watch without
doing anything TO help.
That is not the way fought today.
So forget the notion Mr.. Wmlngtonian and Mr.. Della

GAME LAW DISCRIMINATION.

From the Dover state News.
That delegation Of Kent county
sportsmen, consisting Of some Of the
leading business and professional men
OF Dover and vicinity, which called
upon Governor Townsend last week to
protest against the unfair conditions
existing as a result Of a conflict be-
tween the State and Federal game laws,
should be commended for their spirit,
and should receive the hearty support
Of every resident Of the state Of Della
ware.
We believe Governor Townsend did
right In lending his aid 10 the sports
men In this matter, for certainly I'M
der the conditions then existing. the
discrimination between the people OF
this State and those of New Jersey UNI
der the provisions OF the Federal MI
gratory Bird Law was certainly very
unfair TO Delawareans. The Federal law
provided that the sportsmen o. New
Jersey could shoot ducks on October 4,
whereas the people OF Delaware, just
across the river, were compelled to
wait thirty days longer, despite the fact
that the Delaware game laws provided
an open season for ducks on October 4.
Recognizing the injustice Of this, the
Delaware General Assembly, at its last
session, adopted a joint resolution to
the effect that the Federal Game Law
should not apply 20 this State
II is not TO be wondered that all red
blooded residents Of Delaware should
object TO such unfair discrimination
and the protest made TO Governor
Townsend, and by him forwarded e
the authorities at Washington, was en-
tirely proper. Again we commend The
sportsmen for standing up for theft
rights. There are times when such ac-
ton is necessary. and this seems to be
one Of them.
