BILE unto YOU"
That is high authority for believing
that we are only Just beginning to
discover the extent of our control
over nature, and such things as wire
less telegraphy, X-ray photography
and the disintegration of atoms, with
consequent unlocking of tremendous
concealed energy, prove that hitherto
we have been like the man who buried
his talents in the earth instead OF
making them produce ten or hun
bred fold.
Suppose we look at the subject of
visiting the moon in the light of pres
ent knowledge. The distance in itself
is nothing-240,000 milesl Many a
sea captain has sailed much farther
than that. 1t is less than ten times
the circuit of the earth.
If the atmosphere extended from
the earth to the moon, we could go
there now by modifying our present
apparatus. AT hundred miles an
hour we could be there in hundred
daysl~ But at the height of FIVE or
six miles the atmosphere becomes so
rare that we could not live in it with
out an artificial supply. Yet un-
manned balloons have gone ten miles
high. and meteors take fire from fric-
ton at an elevation of hundred
miles or more.
Still the atmosphere does practic-
ally cease to exist at no very great
elevation, and cuts short off the road
of the balloon and the aeroplane.
We must turn to something else.
The buoyant force of air enables us
to overcome the gravitative attraction
OF the earth only up to moderate
height. Beyond that something more
is needed. | have learned with sur
prise that many intelligent persons
suppose that If we once got outside
the air motion would be unimpeded.
For instance, man said to me the
other day:
Suppose an aeroplane could mount

REPUBLICANS WIN
THEIR FILIBUSTER
Democrats Agree Not to Urge
Revenue Bill to Vote Be-
fore Wednesday.
TO GIVE WILSON POWER

Washington, Feb. 25.-One Of the
most spectacular filibusters the CAPT
tol has seen in years kept the senate in
session until midnight yesterday and
was broken down only when repub-
Iican leaders directing it secured a
pledge from the democrats that the
administration revenue bill would not
be urged to vote until Wednesday.
The democrats, facing what they
declared was a republican attempt to
break down the administration pro-
gram and force an extra session of
congress after March 4, had threat
ened to keep the senate in continu-
Gus session over Sunday, If that were
found necessary to secure passage OF
the revenue measure.
Debate Far Aheld.
The debate went far aheld from
revenues and hot exchanges. between
the democrats and republicans led
into a dramatic discussion OF the in
ternational situation and OF President
Wilson's policy in the submarine
crisis.
Late at night, leaders on the repub-
lican side let il be known that they
did not favor carrying the fight to the
extent of embarrassing the country
by killing the revenue bill and thus
weakening its preparation for de-
tense.
After two or three peace proposals
had been rejected by the democrats.
the republican leaders submitted a
proposition for a vote Wednesday
night at 8 o'clock on condition that in
the meantime appropriation bills may
be brought up by unanimous consent.
The democrats accepted, believing
this arrangement gave them chance
to save enough OF their legislative
program to avert an extra session.
Defense Bills Up.
There was no understanding, how
ever, as to what the republicans might
do with other bills than the revenue
measure in case some OF them should
hold to their determination to force
an extra session in order to have con-
gress in session for developments in
the European emergency.
Several senator's pointed out that a
vote on the revenue bill Wednesday
would not mean that an extra session
would necessarily be avoided. Aside
from other legislation, three Of the
most important supply bills, the navy,
army and sundry civil, carrying alto
gether close to billion dollars, have
not been taken up at all in the senate,
There is certain to be some discussion
by senators with pacifist tendencies
OF both the navy and army bills.
Fall Introduces Resolution.
The smouldering broke into flames
this afternoon when the passages be-
tween democrats and republicans
turned up sensational debate on the
relations between the United States
and Germany which reached its
climax when Senator Fau, republican.
introduced resolution to ask the
president to use the armed forces OF
the United States to protect Ameri-
can rights on the seas.
II is, such resolution as President
Wilson was expected to ask, but its
introduction at this time, by repub-
lican senator while the administration
is forming Its course came as SUR
prise. The democrats declare II will
further complicate and embarrass an
already much mixed up situation.

Constipation and Indigestion.

These are twin evils. Persons suf-

that when she first moved to Mat

distressed her and there was feel

deplored the fact that Delaware had

yesterday under favorable auspices.
Members Of teams Of workers f.om
seven churches, met at Grace NJ. f.
Church house last night reported
pledges totallng nearly $1,000. which
was excellent. because four Of the
seven churches had not gotten their
workers In the field.
The workers assembled for supper at
6 o'clock, and following this listened
TO Inspiring addresses from workers
brought here from Kansas and Iowa
to aid the local workers in the cam
paign.
John S. Mullin was POSTMASTER. He
introduced as the first speaker A. H.

Jubilee Commission Of the Boad Of
Education OF the Methodist Church.
who, however, & gracefully excused
himself by saying that the flrst speak
er was usually the ice-breaker. and
as there was no ice at the meeting
his speech was not needed.
Former City Solicitor Daniel q.
Hastings, trustee Of the institute, in
addressing the workers. said that ten
years ago to have asked the peninsula
Meihodsts TO raise s2iO0O0 would
have been considered the request OF
a crazy man. Now Il has become the
habit Of Delawareans to have money" q"

Everybody Has Money.
Nearly everybody has money. The
only thing 10 do In this campaign Is
to convince the people how much
money they should give" He said
that this was a period Of sacrifice.
He knew Of no fund so necessary for
this peninsula as the one now on for
Dover institute. Down state youths,
be said, have little opportunity 10 get
ahead FAR In the country schools, and
for that reason the institute should
be made the more attractive.
Senator T. Z. Taylor, Of Iowa, told
the workers that there was no more
splendid opportunity for Christians Of
this section than to come forwafd TO
the aid OF the Dover institute. A Chris

Christian leadership that is so badly
needed now and will be more urgently

He advocated Christian schools be-
cause students are surrounded by
Christian professors, whereas in most
places OF learning, so per cent Of the
instructors are skeptlcs. Religious
services are held at stated intervals In
Christian institutions, and there IS
more opportunity for church work
