THE TINE BETWEEN.
3 NIllfnrd Chrnnlcle-

From the Milford Chronicle.
Between the annual nominating
meeting and the annual election Of Of
tlcers for the Town Of Milford. the
custom has been TO have only two days,
hut a few years back the practice Of
holding the nominating meeting on
Friday evenings. gave one more day
between the nominating and holding
the election. This was all right when
the Town Of Milford was a much less
important business proposition than It
is at the present tlme but the time
has arrived when the people should
meet at least one month before the
annual election, and hold primary cleo
tions. This plan viii permit the people
10 look over the list OF nominees, and
If there should be any valid reason why
any or all of them should not be elect
ed, the obiectors Will have ample time
TO present an opposition ticket and set
forth to the people the reasons why
they object TO the persons nominated.
The Town Council can close its busl-
ness at the first Of December. have its
accounts audited and published, so
that the people can understand the
bushes Of Town government, and the
real issues can be clearly set before the
people who have to pay the bills. so
that they may make a choice with a
knowledge Of what the results will be.
We believe that the plan outlined
above, will work we'll and prove bene-

GrRNIANYs pERTIDY ABOUT HER DEFENSIVE" wan

GERAtANN'S pEHFIDY ABOUT HER 'DEFENSINE" WAR
II vEp sluce the Kaiser and his cohorts brought the
T. present world upon civilization. all his agencies
OF publicity everywhere in the world have made eager
efforts to prove Germany merely lighting defensive
war; forced upon her. Thousands OF Deawareans have
noted that fact.
Link by link however, the evidence is being estab-
shed which proves beyond peradventure Of a doubt
that this war was Of loot and conquest forced upon
the world by Wilhelm Hohenzolern and the aged
peror OF Austria who that time sat the throne
Our former minister to Turkey. Henry Morgenthau,
has lust revealed the gst of two extraordinary
satons which clearly establish the Teuton blood gullt.
Remember the started In the rst week In August
1914 the pretext being the assassination Of the Aus
tran crown prince the necessity Of furnishing Ser
ba because Serb citizens OF the Austrian empire
had committed the crime.
The Austrian ambassador to Turkey told Morgenthau
that in May 1914 the Austrian emperor had personally
informed him war inevitable because OF the situa-
tlon in the Balkans.
In other words many weeks before the assassnatlons
at sarajevo Austria making ready for war; being
inspired with desire to dominate the Balkans TO crush
the Serbs and 70 prevent the danger OF Jugo-slav
kingdom.
But still explicit is statement made to Morgen-
thau by Baron wangenheim, the German minister to
Turkey This Kaiserist told him Of a conference held
in Berlin early in July. 1914 In which the time for the
beginning Of war was specifically decided upon Tho
the military chiefs the great financial and industrial
overlords. The date postponed for two weeks in
order to allow the German nnanciers time in which TO
make their preparations. wangenhem himself pres
ent heard all the discussions and plans. and assured
his master that Turkey would be ready when needed.
In the light Of this revelation the perndy Of Germany
and her masters takes place all by itself in history
The kilograms Of the Kaiser apparently seeking to keep
the peace were all lies The trip to Norwegian waters
in his yacht all part OF stage-play by the Kaiser
only England France and Russia, but also
his people
Every act every move. every speech which sought to
place Germany In the attitude of the unwilling party TO
war was part a gigantic plot to crush down upon
the French and the before they had any sus-
picon Of what up.
once more the additions to the revealed history Of this
war Justify President Wilson in saying to the Pope that
no peace be made with Germany ruled by its pres
ent masters

From the Delmar News.
II you have any money saved up that

It takes money that would otherwise
go into railroads, or factories, or com
mercial business-all very needful IN

your savings; you would probably

Buying bonds on the instalment plan

Editorial Opinion
OUR NATION AT THE WAR COUNCIL.

OUR NATION AT THE WAR COUNCIL.
From the New York Sun.
The United States has held Itself rig
idly aloof from the periodical war
councils held by the Allies In Paris. In
part this attitude has doubtless been
Influenced by the historic warning Of
George Washington against "entangllng
alliances abroad" IL maintains the po-
sition assumed by the Administration
that we are not actual allies Of Eng
land, France and others. but merely
cobelllgerents.
It is reported. however. that in tho
coming war council the United States
too viii sit at the table. Secretary Lam
sing, though noncommlttal, admits that
the matter is under consideration.
Splitting str0ws on so rudimentary
a proposition as this seems silly. II, as
Is probable, our men will soon be hold
Ing sector OF the allied battle line,
with the French on one flank, the Brit
lsh on the other, having the same storm
Of missiles OF death ready to pour upon
tho common enemy, facing the same
torrent OF shot and she'll gas and flame
10 is idle TO fear any closer alliance re-
sultlng from a few men sitting at a
council board.
Washington warned against "perma-
nont" alliance only. Only by consent
Of the Senate can such an alliance be
perfected. Whatever sort OF working
alliance may aid IN bringing this wal
to a victorious and speedy end we
should eagerly join. And let us have
lighting men for our delegates TO the
council.
