their arms stormed the office of the
mayor demanding food. Other wom-
en- attacked push cart vendors and
food markets. The police were called
In. and according to the newspaper
accounts, some severe fighting ensued.
Why were these women unable to
secure food for their children?
The city of New York during these
food riots probably contained more
food products than at any time in its
history. The German submarine cam
paign had cut down shipments to for
elgn ports. Meanwhile, food prod
ucts continued to pour into New York
over all of the railroad lines; they
were stored in the warehouses and
piled upon the docks in enormous
quantities. New York was literally
overlooking with food and yet the
mothers of the East Side were calling
upon the mayor to save them from
starvation.
The explanation Of this remarkable
phenomenon appeared in another part
of the news. The East Side has de-
pended largely upon vegetables for it's
subsistence since meat prices climbed
skyWard, but how can one secure even
vegetables when the price has gone
beyond the reach of ones income?
The New York commissioner of
weights and measures reported that
onions, which sold year ago at ~
cents a pound we're selling at IA cents,
carrots had doubled in price, spinach
was three times the price of a year
ago, potatoes three and half times.
While there has been comparatively
little increase in the wages of most
Of the East Siders, vegetables, the
to unheard of prices.
The increase in the prices of dairy
products, cereals and fruits, while not
so excessive is still so great that the
East Siders find themselves in a des-
perate situation.
Meanwhile the jobbers, commission
men, wholesalers and other middle
men are holding onto the food supply,
| waiting to ship to European markets,
| or boosting prices in anticipation of
declaration Of war. If the German
blockade fails, the middlemen will be
able to get war prices for their prod
ucts from the Allies. If the United
States enters the war, the middlemen
will be able to get war prices for their
products from the government and the
people of the United States. There is
only one possible way in which the
maintenance of war prices on Amer
lean food products in the United
States can be prevented. That is by

INDIAN RIVER INLET.

At the request of a number of peo-
pie interested in Indian River Inlet
Senator Salisbury has been endeav-
oring to have the government take
suitable action for the improvement
of the Inlet and, pursuant to the au-
thority of the act OF Congress Of last
year, a preliminary examination of
of the project has been completed.
The report upon the matter is un-
favorable and states that the cost of
opening the inlet and keeping it open
would be prohibitive, considering the
commerce to be benefited.
Anyone interested in the matter has
a right to appeal from this conclusion
to the Board Of Engineers for Rivers
and HarbOrs. and should do so. APP
peals will be heard either orally or in
writing. and if written should be ad-
dressed to the Board of Engineers
for Rivers and Harbors. Southern
Building, Washington, d. c.
These appeals may be made within
four weeks after January 9th, and in
formation will be furnished at the ad-
dress given to anyone who desires

HELP MAKE DELAWARE SCHOOLS BETTER

The Public Schools of Delaware, out
side Of Wilmington, sadly need improve
meut. About go per cent of our teachers
have not had full four years high school
training yet everyone knows that better
trained teachers mean better pupils, bet
ter schools and better State.
The State Board of Education has
adopted a plan which will multiply the
teaching power of the teachers as no
other gift can do.
This plan consists in giving to each
teacher a course of study, supplemented
by consultation privileges with a faculty
of professors from leading American col
leges. Future teachers will be provided
for under this plan. The State Board of
Education will issue renewal certificates
to teachers as they complete their courses
There is no State fund available for
this purpose. In order to carry out this
plan, the committee must raise a fund of
s., 900. The teacher cannot pay for this
benefit out of their meagre salaries An
appeal to the public spirited citizens
throughout the State is therefore neces-
sary. The committee believes that you,
as a person vitally interested in Delaware
schools, will gladly contribute to the
fund, and thereby help to make possible
this great improvement. ANY sum will
be gratefully received and credit given.
You are earnestly requested to send
your contribution or subscription at once,
as it is desired to inaugurate the plan in
January.
Send contributions, using enclosed en-
velope, to L. l.. Maloney, treasurer. Sc
curity Trust and Safe Deposit Co., Will

ance, we are,

The CITIZENS MILITARY OBLIGATION

The fact that the government has
power te draft the services of citizens
I in such number as may be required
/ by the military eXigiencies OF the
country is not new. nor is the fact
that the President has been author
lied to make such draft as is neces-
sary to compelte the established quota
of the National Guard as an Army
Reserve. of especial significance. The
principal of universal military train
ing, which is coming before the pub
lie, in one form or another, for serious
consideration before very long, does
not increase in any sense the actual
military obligation Of the citizen to
his government. In the main it pro-
poses merely that each citizen shall
prepare himself for the fulfllment of
his acknowledged obligation, and calls
only for such actual performance as
shall be necessary for that prepara-
ton
The specific resort to this power of
the draft always has been unpopular
1t caused resentment and even riot in
Civil War days, and it resulted in eva
sion of duty and in the degradation of
patriotism. But the principle of un-
iversal military readiness invites
different spirit of contemplation from
the threat of a draft. In the early
days of the republic, when the pOpu-
lation was small and there were in
terror as we'll as exterior frontiers.
the measure of defensive need was the
equivalent of the entire able-bodied
male population, and every man re-
ported for annual training without a
thought of despotism. militarism or
any other bogeyism of the time. The
theory of universal training invokes
that old thought of the citizens re-
sponsibility, and, if it shall be wisely
and rightly applied, deserves to be met
with no more opposition than in the
necessity was apparent, if not a mat
ter Of personal experience.
Any draft is a process of selection
and inevitably of discrimination. Uni
versal service is the democracy Of OBJ
legation. bearing upon every compe-
tent citizen alike. In theory, as to
the power of the government and the
duty Of the citizen. they are identical
But in application they are far apart,
and the draft partakes of the offensive
character OF despotic militarism.
while the plan of universal training
is in its essence akin to the belief in
individual rights and responsibilities |
which is a fundamental of this popu- |
lar government. The draft is an es-
sential of the paid. professional army /
Of defence. Universal training is the |
and perfection of a citizen |
army which serves the government |
because the government is itself.

CORN AND OATS REACH
NEW HIGH PRICE MARK
Disappointing Swallness of
Receipts Largely Respons-
ible for Soaring.

CHICAGO. Dec. Both corn and
oats surpassed today all previous high
price records this season. Dlsappoint-
ing smallncss-vf receipts was largely
responsible. Corn closed firm at y
to "a net advance with January
l:13i to 1213s and May Il9A to
2$ and provisions 45c to 81.
Ii was said that many train en-
Eincs as well as freight cars had been
diverted elsewhere from the corn
belt. The resulting advances in tho
price Of corn were vigorously upheld
owing more or less 20 prevailing
warmth and moisture that greatly
hindcred the safs handling Of poorest
qualities of the cereal. Strength in
oats came I'm considerable measure
from reports that the government had
been free buyer during the last few
days. Besides gossip was current that
for the present corn would be given
preference over oats in regard to the
furnishing Of cars TO rural shippers.
Curtailmcnt of the hog supply here
lifted provisions.
