a GERMAN DISASTER
IFrom ihe New York Trlbunel. /.

make peace. Three desperate efforts on
the part Of the Germans to bring of
such a success have failed, and there
is no present reason for believing that
the Germans have the resources left
for a fourth effort
AS between the British and the Ger
mans no one should mistake the ad-
vantage that rests with the former.
The British have taken i've prisoners
to the Germans one; flve guns to the
Germans one; they have occupied more
than a million square miles OF German
colonial territory, whereas the Ger
mans have not reached a foot Of Brit
ish territory. They have banished the
German flag from the sea. They have
blockaded the German ports. They have
destroyed the bases Of German trade
within the British Empire, in the Far
East and even In South America. And
in this time the Germans have only
succeeded in lnjuring the British to the
extent Of their air raids and the loss OF
some ships incident to the German
submarine campaign. BY every sign
and token that one can adduce the
British have triumphed over the Ger
mans so far as the war has been a
struggle between these two nations.
Were the war to end today on the ba-
sis Of things as they are, so far as the
British and the Germans are concerned
no one could fail to concede the ex-
tent of the British victory.
Such being the case the Germans
have no method Of compelling a Brit
ish submission, even to the extent OF
a negotiated peace, except so far as
the British decision may be influenced
by German hold upon Britain's allies
and there Is no possibility that the
British would consent to make peace
at the sacrifice Of their interests now
The submarine was the last weapon
the Germans had against the British af-
ter the Zeppelin had failed and the
German army had been unable to
achieve a decision in advance Of the
arrival Of the new British armies.
The decision Of this war will not be
In Italy or in Russia. The decision Of
this war has been had at the Marne

INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENT BOARD.
ON the OoVer State NAM.

From the Dover state News.
Governor Townsend seems to have a
peculiar knsck for appointing good m n
TO public ONCE and he has certainly
succeeded in picking out three excel
lent men to comprise the membership
OF the Industrial Accident Boaro. which
board was created by the workmen's
compensation act passed by ths 1917
Delaware General Assembly. In select
ing Sylvester d. Townsend, OF VII
mington, as the New Castle county
member Of the board; Harry Mayer, OF
Dover, as the Kent county memOer. and
Nolley NJ. Murray, Of Selbyville, as the
Sussex member, the Governor has
named a board that should please every
resident Of the State Of Delaware. BY
appointing these three men to oflce,
Governor Townsend again demon
strates that he intends to serve the
people OF Delaware by selecting only
efficient men for office, and not simply
awarding public Offices as political
plums.
It is natural that Mr. Townsend
should be the man selected by the Gov
ernor in New Castle county, for it was
Mr. Townsend who prepared the work
mems compensation Dill, after much
arduous work and who came 10 Dover
at the last session Of the Legislature
and devoted much Of his time to hav-
ing the measure passed by the House
and Senate. We are frank TO say that
in naming Mr.. Townsend the Governor
has selected the one man I'm the entire
State who is best qualified for it. The
same applies In a measure TO Mr.. May
er, OF Dover. While Mr.. Mayer was not
as active as Mr.. Townsend in securing
the passage Of the workmen's compen-
sation bill, yet he has shown himself
to be in entire sympathy with that
measure, and his connection with such
a large industrial concern as the Rich
ardson and Robbins Company, of this
town, admirably equips him to conduct
the duties Of the ofilce.
While we are not as well acquainted
with Mr.. Murray as we are with
Messrs Townsend and Mayer, yet we
understand that he too possesses many

Advice to Worrier5.

Chicago Evening Post: About
1000 years ago Solomon advised the
sluggard to go to the ant and learn
lessons of industry and thrift. Now
some emulator of IsraeFs philoso-
pher king, who writes bulletins for
the public health service from the
security Of his government job in
Washington, advises worriers to con-
slider the birds, the foxes, the SPUR
rels and the dogs.
No bird, he tells us, ever worried
because 1t could not have more
nests than its neighbor; no fox ever
fretted because he had only one hole
in which to hide; no squirrel ever
collapsed with nervous prostration
because he suddenly realized his
store Of nuts would only last through
one winter, and no dog ever spent
sleepIess nights over the fact that he
had failed to accumulate a stock of
bones for his old age.
This is all very well. Were we
without imaginative or reasoning
faculties we, too, might be as wor-
riless as the birds and beasts. But
then, we, too, like them, would be
living in holes and caves. There
would be no science, no art, no
music, no literature 1t is magma

Antidotes for
Bodily Poisons
IRr II, H Smith. M. Dl


The victims OF auto-intoxication
are many thousand every day. BY
reason of the toxins, or poisons bred
in the intestines, these poisonous
bacteria are sent all through the
blood channels and the victim feels
tired, sleepy and headachy, or the
brain doesn't work as usual The
best treatment for this is to drink hot
water before breakfast-plenty OF
water all day and procure a simple
laxative. made of May-appIe, leaves OF
aloe ETC.. with no calomel and Ell
tirely vegetable, which can be OBJ
tanned at any drug store, known as
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.
Equally important is it to cleanse
kidneys and bladder, and drinking
plentifully Of pure water will cleanse
them to certain extent. Then op-
tain at the drug store little Anuric,
which was first discovered by Dr..
Pierce of Surgical Institute in Buff
falo, N. Y. Anuric double strength
should be taken before meals. 1t is

In throwing off the poisonous accuT-
uIations of uric acid.
Through failure of kidneys to act,
through congestion, inflammation,
any persons condition is ripe for
disease to fasten it's hold upon the
system.

few years for kidney, bladder, uric
