Plans are now being made by the
largest clothing manufacturers in the
country for a complete reconstruction of
their businesses along lines to conform
with the new standard of costs of all
materials which enter into the making
of men s garments. These new cost
standards will, in the majority of in
stances, take effect with the fall sea-
sons lines, according to statements
made by the representative factors in
men S apparel industry.
Up to the present time, manufactur
ers of prominence have worked on a
basis of cost of supplies they have had
in stock long before the increased prices
took effect with the result that no mate
rial changes have been apparent in the
prices charged for their products in
comparison with former seasons.
Some idea of the radical change in
the manufacturing cost of clothing can
be obtained from the following figures
representative of the best merchandise
in every instance. The table shows the
increased cost to the manufacturer of
items which enter into his business.

copy of this Resolution to the
President of the United States
and to our Senators and Repre-
sentatives in Congress.
The esoluti ON which was
a dop e. unanimously by the
House Of Representatives was as
follows:
Whereas, the President of the
United States, through his great
love of humanity and his utter
aversion of war, with all the suf-
ferings and sorrow that follow in
it's wake, has with infinite pa
thence, tact and diplomacy, kept
this country at peace with the
world; and
Whereas, the Game Empire, not
withstanding the unspeakable
horrors of the sinking of the
"Lusitania, whereby hundreds of
innocent men, women and little
children were sent, without warn
ing, to a watery grave; and, not
withstanding her repea e d
pledges since that dastardly trag-
edy, that the rights of American
citizens. on the high seas would
be respected in accordance with
international law, has finally
been compelled to throw off the
mask and by her announcement
to the United States Government
that she intended to wage her re-
lentless. warfare of submarine
frightfulness to the limit, has
left the President of the United
States with only one course tC
pursue now to sever all diplo-
matte relations with that Govern
ment; now
Be it Resolved by the House of
Representatives of the State of
Delaware:
That it highly commends the
President of the United States
for his patriotic action in sever
ing all diplomatic relations with
the Government of the German
Empire, and we endorse what he
is doing in his efforts to protect
the rights, liberties and lives of
American citizens upon the high
seas, in accordance with the In
ternational Law and the rights of
humanity; and
Be it Further Resolved, that if
it be necessary to use force in up
holding this principle, the State
of Delaware will support our
Chief Magistrate to a man.

Portrait Presented To State

John Bancroft recently gave
the State, through the Portrait
Commission, a portrait of Thomas
West, twelfth Baron de la War;,
for whom this state was named.
1t is one of the best portraits, ar
tistically speaking, that the State
owns, and, historically, it is of
great interest. The portrait was
painted by William Chadwick, of
Lynne, Conn.,, Mr.. Bancroft's SON.
in-law, who is we'll known here.
Baron de la War; is one of the
personages that all Delawareans
should keep in mind. He was in
terested in colonization schemes
in America, and in 1909 was ap-
pointed for life governor and cap
tain-general in Virginia. On one
of his voyages he was driven by
storm into the great river now
called the Delaware. What was
no doubt then considered mis-
fortune of the voyage led to the
baron's name being forever per-
petuated in State, and river, and
bay; the state, the first in the
country by priority, in ratifying
the federal constitution
One of the baron's descendants,
Gilbert George Reginald Sack
ville-West, who became eighth
Earl de la War;, visited the
country in 1915 and was enter
tanned by Governor Miller while
on visit to Wilmington. On his
return to England he forwarded
to Governor Miller a copy of the
portrait of his ancestor. The or
iginal portrait is in the house o.
Lady de la War;, in Sussex, Eng
land. The portrait in the State
House at Dover was copied from
the one that hangs in Indepen-
dence Hall, Philadelphia, but the
curator suggested that the copy
be painted in armor instead of
robes, so as to be more in har
mony with the early part of the
seventeenth century and with the
office held by Baron de la War;.

DELAWARE LEG
STATURE ENDORSES
PRESIDENTS ACTION
First To Forward Encourage
ment To Chief Ex-
ecutive

Both branches of the General
Assembly of Delaware in session
last week endorsed the action of
president Wilson in servering
diplomatic relations with Ger
many. Copies of the resolutions
were forwarded to president Will
son, and referred to on the floor
of the Senate by Mr.. Salisbury,
who declared the action of the
Delaware Legislature worthy of
note for two reasons: first, as be-
ing the first oppression received
from any state legislature, and
second, as coming from a Demo-
cratic House and Republican
Senate.
The Senate unanimously adopt
ed the following resolution:
Whereas, in the judgment of
the President of our country, it
has become necessary to sever
diplomatic relations with a great
country with which in the past
we have ever maintained the
most friendly relations; and
Whereas, the people of the State
of Delaware and our delegation
in Congress, and the members of
this General Assembly are divid-
cd between the great political
parties; and
Whereas the State of Delaware
occupies the high and exalted po-
sition of being the first State of
the Union in that it was first to
ratify the Constitution of the
United States.
Therefore, be it Resolved, by
the Senate of the State of Della
ware, the House of Representa-
tives concurring therein:
That we pledge to the Presi-
dent of the United States of Del
aware in any action that may be
taken by him in the crisis that
now confronts our country; and
Be it Further Resolved, that
our Senators and Representative
in Congress are hereby requested
to cooperate with the President
to carry into effect the spirit of
this Resolution; and
Be it Further Resolved, that
the Secretary of State send a
