NOTED LECTURER
VISITS NEWARK
Talk Centers Around Euro
pean War

Owing to the wild weather of
last Friday evening, many towns
folk were disappointed in not be-
ing able to attend the lecture given
by Miss Janet Richards, under the
auspices of the Department of
History of Delaware College. Miss
Richards is intimately acquainted
with the big questions of the day,
and her talk was vitally interest
ing to everyone. In her home city,
Washington, she has class of
seven hundred who meet once a
week to study Current Events.
The speaker discussed mainly
the European war and our relation
to it. She brought out in her talk
the fact that the present German
submarine policy represents the
third great attack upon England,
citing the Armada and Napoleon,
as the first two. Miss Richards
discussed at some length the docu-
ment of the recent German plot,
and limited that the existence of
, such things has been known in
Washington for the last year. She
criticised the extreme pacitist, and
gave an enlightening exposition of
the recent political changes in
5 Pu"sia, which create the possi-
, hilitv. N that country, Of separ-
, ate peace.
, Following the lecture the hear
: ers were invited to question the
speaker. A number were asked
4 revealing the fact that Miss Rich
ards believes in the Swiss system
4 IF military service, and that she
is a non-militant suffragist.

INCREASE DEMAND
FOR LIGHT AND POWER
Neu We'll to be Sunk Disposition of Light Question

Monday evening; a letter was also
received from the Continental
Fibre Company, making a PROPOSE
tion to furnish current to the town.
The various propositions were con-
sidered carefully but no disposi-
tion was made, at the meeting, of
the light question. At present the
town buys 600 kilo-watt hours and
generates, at the local plant, 500
kilo-watt hours daily. Upon the
completion of building operations
now under way the demand will be
very materially increased, which
will necessitate the entire rebuild
ing of the present system Coun-
Gilman Wilson, chairman of the
Light and Water Committee, when
speaking of the pending changes
today said, 81 wish it were possible
to get more citizens to attend
Council meetings and hear the dis
cussions."
AS soon as the weather permits,
it was also announced, the work of
building permanent street on
Academy, from Delaware Avenue
to Main, will be begun.
An adjourned meeting of Coun-
Gil will be held next Tuesday even
