IMPROVING RURAL
Trolley SERVICE

People living in Delaware City and
working in New Castle and vicinity
are pleased to note increased trolley
service in the mornings and evenings
and it is rather interesting to note
the increased traffic by the trolley
cars between these two points. When
the storage battery cars were Oper-
ated, the cars were scheduled to leave
Delaware City and New Castle every
two hours. but when the overhead
trolley system with larger cars was
substituted for the battery cars, this
schedule was cut in half and cars
operated every hour each way.
Since the trolley service was re-
established the smaller type Of trolley
cars has been superseded by the dou-
bic truck cars. and about one week
ago an additional large car was put
on as a tripper leaving Della
ware City at the same time
with the regular o'clock morn
ing car the regular car, of course.
going through to Wilmington and the
extra as far as the New Castle car
barn, carrying people to the Bethle-
hem Steel and other plants at New
Castle. Similarly in the evening, TO
relieve car leaving Wilmington at 3
o'clock a double truck car runs from
the New Castle carbarn to Delaware
City.
Many changes in details along the
road have been made. including re-
cent remodeling of the pole lines at
different places. For some time the
pole line had not been used at all and
at about the time the storage battery
service was established, which did
not require any poles, the pole line
was remOdeled and used 10 support
wires carrying electric light and
power to Delaware City, but since the
trOlleys have again been put in ser
vice Il became necessary to make ar
rangements for the trolley wire and
trolley feeder and also to set higher
poles and change the electric light
lines to the opposite side of the right
OF way at various places, so that in
event of trolley pole flying off it could
not become entangled in the electric
light lines. These and various other
changes are rapidly putting the line
in shape to give good service.

RURAL VOTING Place

A proposal to change the location
Of the voting place in the district
from the sharpley schoolhouse TO
Grange Hall, IN Talleyville. was dis
cussed at the meeting OF West Bran
dywine Grange, No. 13, last night. A
new schoolhouse has been built and
the commissioners would like the
voting place located elsewhere. 1t
will require an act OF the Legislature
to make the change. Many present
thought that the district had become
so large that it ought to be divided.

the grange, discussion OF the pro-
posed changes in the State school
laws as outlined in literature cicu-
lated by DR.. Charles A. Wagner, State
commissioner OF education, was held

that the proposed changes should be
given careful consideration Many

THE war has begun to go
against Germany, and in their
desperate desire to escape the
inevitable ultimate defeat, those
who are in authority in Germany
are usuing every possible instru-
mentality, are making use of the
influence of groups and parties
among their own subjects to
whom they have never been Just
or fair, or even tolerant, to pro-
mote a propaganda on both sides
of the sea which will preserve
for them their influence at home
and their power abroad to the
undoing of the very men they
are using.
1.-The position of America in
! this war is so clearly avowed
that no man can be excused for
mistaking it. She seeks no ma
terial profit or ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
of any kind. She is fighting for
no advantage or selfish object of
her own, but for the liberation
of peoples everywhere from the
aggressions of autocratic force.
The ruling classes in Germany
have begun of late to profess a

pose, but only to preserve the
power they have set up in Ger.

cuted for that purpose. Wrongs

sound. Practical questions can
be settled only by practical
means. Phrases will not achieve
the result. Effective readjust-
ments will, and whatever read
justments are necessary must be
made.
but they must follow a prin-
ciple and that principle is plain.
No people must be forced under
sovereignty under which it does
not wish to live. No territory
must change hands except for
the purpose of securing those
who inhabit it a fair chance of
life and liberty. No indemnities
must be insisted On except those
that constitute payment for
manifest wrongs done. No re-
adjustments of power must be
made except such as will tend to
secure the future peace Of the
world and the future welfare and
happiness of its peoples.
And then the free peoples of
the world must draw together in
some common covenant, some
genuine and practical co-opera-
ton that will in effect combine
their force to secure peace and
justice in the dealings of nations
with one another. The brother
hood of mankind must no longer
be a fair but empty phrase; 1t
must be given structure OF
force and reality. The nations
must realize their common life
and effect a workable partner
ship to secure that life against
the aggressions of autocratic and
Self-pleaSlng power.
For these things we can af-
| ford to pour out blood and treas.
