II is noteworthy fact that in accepting men for

established in the Municipal Building by a group Of

SHALL THE KAIsERs FRIENDS PREyAmi

IN HE tactics Of the Kasers friends in this country
can now be seen by anybody will take the trou-
BILE to look
Their first play was to keep the United States from
declaring war. To that end they mustered six votes
in the Senate and so in the House.
This not enough. Of course to defeat the reso-
LUTON bua it enough to take of the punch
OF IT, delight the Kaiser with the belief that
united the world doubt our sincerity and
to efficiency.
The next plan OF the Kaiser contingent now that we
in the war; is to to It that play spneless
part and don't hurt the German cause the same plan
that has worked successfully in Russia for
than two years
And so they line up to oppose the only way by
which we can get an effective army quickly
This is the real meaning of the opposition to the ad
administrations army bill that is developing in the
House Of Representatives. That must be clearly ap-
parent to all Delawareans.
II is quite likely that Of the opposed uni
versal military service don't know they are working
for the Hohenzollerns Some unquestionably know 1t
we'll enough and proud OF it, for they buils
that way but some just simple, credulous come
ons, led by the TO fight the Kaiser's battle
These times when ignorance is bad and in
excusabe viciousness. If the supplemented among
the copperhead group don't know what they doing
they ought to be enlightened by their constituents
One Of the ways in which they helping their
try's enemy is by urging that instead of army
formed the basis OF the universal duty TO the re-
public, should continue to hire some men 20 fight
for the OF US. only paying hired substitutes
greater wage for taking the risk are cowardly
TO take.
That would mean that we should never have an
army worthy of the name and do our share OF
the worlds against autocracy and Prussianism.
It would mean more Of the deadly weakness that
has hitherto invited attack and Of the shameful
impotence that has made the world wonder and laugh
at
Who the best soldiers this has DEVELOPER
Whose courage, magnificent devotion and steadfast
spirit have been our chief admiration?
The soldiers OF France.
How much pay do they get?
Nothing, you might say Two cents a day for to-
bacco.
But they do not fight for pay; they not hired
to perform their obligation. They fight because all
Frenchmen have always expected to fight for the de-
Tense and the life OF France.
To put by the side OF such American army
composed of men who night only for dollars would be
TO disgrace cause and paralyze
men, OF Great Britans deadly experience wal
lowing in the mire But the dull men and the
ignorant the handiest possible tools for
