Submarine improvements.

Since April l German submarines
have been equipped with four new de-
vices which increase their destructive
ness, and render it more difficult for
chasers to discoydF. their whereabouts.
Formerly the U-boats, to remain in one
spot, had to come to the surface, or
anchor themselves to the bottom hut

enable them to remain stationary while

RIRrHs AND RIRTH NOTICES.

r II always has been our practice to publish marriage
L and death notices
Many OF readers have noticed no doubt, that we
have begun within the last week publish notices of
births.
We have done because it is in line with approved
journalism in many other cities in this country and
abroad because think that the birth OF person,
being the foundation Of it ALL is OF infinitely greater
importance than his her marriage or death. and
also because birth announcement contains just
large element Of public interest does the ordinary
marriage death notice
It is purpose TO the birth notices free of all
the happy fathers and mothers and to use the
following dgnihed form:
WONDERLAND-On April 6, to Mr. and Mrs. William
Wonderland. Of No 1886 Trenton Place, this city a
daughter, Winifred
or course the wording would be changed IL the little
newcomer were boy or if a home were blessed by
twins trplets.
II is innovation in local journalism although in
sense original with in its broad aspect, and We
feel sure that its usefulness will be appreciated by
fathers and mothers in Wilmington and vicinity.
We therefore request that when boy or a girl ar
rives in the home that a notice framed above be
sent addressed to society editor or free publica-

OrR 0RuGATI0N T0 FRANCE.

To the Editor OF THE EVENING JOURNAL;
Sir-I have noticed great many articles regard
ing the timely help extended the United States by
France in 1916 when this country trying TO free
itself from the rule Of England Win some please
give me definite information on this subject by telling
me just how much money France loaned the United
States at that time and whether not it has been
paid back with interest? Or it an outright gift
to us? or course, all appreciate General Lafayettes
aid and the friendship France but this any
why this country should now make gift Of billion
dollars to France? b. l. T.
Wilmington, Del. April g. 1917
The above typical OF several letters received by
the editor since the suggestion made that the
United States make gift Of billion dollars to France
One OF the advanced in support OF the sug-
gestion that France expended several hundred
million dollars helping in for independence.
There is great difference OF opinion as just how
much it cost the French Government to help free
ourselves from English rule The estimates all
the way from $500 900 to $7OOO0OO00 The amount
probably somewhere between 5000 900 $4,000
100000 This with interest added would far exceed
the billion dollars which It is proposed that give to
France.
The United States never paid France dollar to re-
imburse her for this military expenditure.
At the same time that France was spending this in
those days huge sum for her military expedition she
was also lending to the United States large sums. All
Of these French loans were repaid in some with
interest; in other interest was charged
Entirely apart from the financial assistance which
the French Government gave the United States dur
ing the days Of its struggle for freedom many indi-
vidual Frenchmen also lent and gave to the United
States large OF money
If history is TO be believed Lafayette gave not only
himself but large of his fortune to the of
American liberty.
Considering the wealth of the United States today
compared with the wealth of France at the time OF the
American revolution. the billion dollars which it has
been proposed that tho United States give 70
France would represent small fraction OF the amount
that France and Frenchmon spent to help the American
colonies win their independence
The more reads the history Of the American
revolution the is impressed with the fact that
its success would not have been possible had France
and Frenchmen been less generous.
Certainly the need OF France is great today was
need in those days when forebears fight
ing to secure those liberties which we now enjoy
