Citizen demonstrates

Editor of Newark Post:
In the Morning News, of March
3, appears the record of meeting
of the trustees of Delaware Col
lege. When their valuable time
was spent in the selection of an
instructor to make a tour of the
State and teach the housewives the
art of making cottage cheese, one
of the most primitive and easy of
dishes to prepare. Doubtless some
of the housewives could be of use
to their expert; certainly they are
capable Of taking care of that
special part of home production.
The vision of that August body
must be dimmed if they cannot see
vastly more important use for
their one hundred dollars month
in the urgent need for greater pro-
duction of the necessaries of life.
These are strenuous times when we
are appealed to to deny ourselves
to buy Thrift Stamps and Liberty
Bonds, to help our Government in
her noble cause. The response has
been most generous but the people
will be happiest when wisdom gov
erns the use of government funds,
not creating offices that are need
less and foolish for the spending
of it's funds. | confess Cottage
Cheese, when carefully made and
mixed with cream, is most tempt
ing dish, but by no means an
economical one, when complaints
of the shortage of milk and cream
are being published almost daily.

Cottage Cheese.

The Editor of the Post,
Newark, Del.
Dear Sir:
Your remarks in last weeks is
sue, in regard to education mat
ters, together with what is needed
in the way of better water supply,
better fire protection and a much
better lighting system, should meet
with the approval of every good
citizen of the Town. Surely there
should be something done to cor
rect these matters, but do you not
think the Board of Education, as
we'll as the Council Of our Town
who have these matters in charge,
are somewhat to blame, for allow
ing things to get in their present
condition. Am l not right?

About Red Cross Work

The Editor of the Post,
Newark, Del.
My dear Sir:
1t is currently reported about
Town, when the last al drafted
men left here, Monday March 4th,
that each man was presented with
full Red Cross Kit, including his
luncheon. But to the great aston
ishment of our residents these Kits
and luncheons came through and
were donated to the men by the
Red Cross Chapter of Middletown,
Delaware. Up to this time, we
were of the opinion that we had a
Red Gross Chapter in Newark. |
think you will agree with me that
our neighboring hamlet, Middle
town, which makes no aspirations
to culture or higher grades of
education and all that goes to
make our Town the educational
centre of the State, certainly has
given our Red Gross Chapter a
pointer as to how this work should
be done. Just why we can't have
Red Cross Chapter as progress
sive and wide-awake as there is in
our State, can only be considered
as the fault of the ladies interested
in this work. For the sake of the
cause you represent, as we'll as for
the credit of our Town, see to it
when the next consignment Of
drafted men leave Town, that they
get all the attention they are en-
titled to, or we citizens will feel
that we should have the Middle
town Red Cross Chapter transfer
red here.

sace-L orraine were the underlying
cause for the war OF conquest on tho
French by the Germans under William
In 1870. The provinces were retained
by Germany with the intention that
the ores should furnish the founda-
ton for future Industrial development.
The battle OF Verdun in the first half
OF 1916 has been regarded as an al
tempt on the part OF Germany to get
possession OF the great iron ore beds
south Of that salient. Practically every
major operation OF the Germans on the
western front since the start Of the
war, with the exception OF the often
slyes against Paris and the Channel
ports have been aimed In the dlrec-
tlon OF the remaining iron and coal
mines In the possession OF the French.
The loss Of iron mines around Yer
dun and Metz VIII deprive the Germans
not only Of the fruits OF hard won OBJ
lectiyes in this war but OF the sacrl-
Gees which they made In 1870 In tho
attack upon France.
Germany is realizing fully the serl-
BUSINESS OF the situation. officials here
made public the following extract from
an article which appeared September
20 In the Frankfurler Zeitung, the lead
Ing commercial newspaper OF Germany:
"What a change has taken place in
the few weeks that have interyened
since the time when II seemed that
our armies had reached their goal Of
shatterlng the enemy armies and fore
Ing peace There Is unparalleled trag-
edy in the present situation. A real
crisis has now set In. II IS the flrst
strategic crisis for years that turns
AGAINST us. We are on the defensive;
the old doctrine that attack Is the best
means Of defence no longer applies in
the new epoch in which we are living.
The moral revolution which is
transpirlng In Prussian Germany re-
spects neither doctrines nor theories
Of war The defence OF our country
means the defense OF that mentality
which alone can enable our people 10
remain strong and united until the last
hour. This idea will unite our war
rors and the whole German people in
unbendng resistance until the enemy
awakens from the imperlalistic intoxi-
cation which the unexpected victory
after gravest danger has caused him.

Germany Is now counting on the win
ter TO give her respite and for this
reason over optimism here or tho be-
lief that the end Of the war may come
this year Is not encouraged. Those
who should understand the military
situation best warn specifically against
this belief and say frankly that II 0f-
fects the war preparatlons Of the ma
tlon and furthermore Is bound to lead
to an unfortunate reaction when the
truth later dawns.
Winter Is always the great ally OF
The armies In trouble. The German
armies ere admittedly In trouble, but
winter Is almost here. There Will be
no fighting OF consequence during the
cold days. The Issue therefore viii be
left for decision next spring, and any
relaxation hero now Will be felt by
the men at the front at this most crlti-
cal time.
Interest In Official circles also centers
In the fighting OF tho Americans in
the Argonne forest, where their advance
Is making possible the early Wrestling
OF rich iron mines from the possession
OF the Germans. Victory IN this sector
VIII take from the Teutons one Of their
essential resources and the possession
Of which will greatly strengthen the
hands OF the Allies and help to relieve
the strain on steel production in all
Of the allied countries.
Other mines in the vicinity OF Metz
and throughout Lorraine are threaten
ed by the Americans. A large part OF
the munitions OF the German armies in
the war have come from the ores OF
these regions.
Requisltion by General Pershing for
military munitions supplies that have
been received up to this time are ap-
proxlmetely six months ahead OF the
program Of estimates OF the War De
partment at the outset OF the year.
General Pershlng is now asking for
the materials which Il had been expect
ed that he would call for in the early
weeks OF next spring. The possession
Of the iron mines thus becoms a mat
tr Of major Importance in the often
siye operations Of the Allies.

bombardment and aircraft attacks. The
war would be brought right home to
parts of Germany where war enthusl-
asm has never been very high anyway,
and the effect on the German morale
would be obvious.
Besides, when the Allied and Amerl-
can drive begins In the spring German
territory would be virtually within a
stones throw OF The invaders. No de-
fenslve positions. no matter how con-
structed can resist concentrated at
tacks provided that the attacking force
is willing to expend the necessary
amount OF high explosives and man
power. The German high command
fully realizes this, Il IS pointed out.
General staff officers therefore be-
lleve that n tho Germans retreat TO
their own frontier II viii because they
have no other choice. These officers
expect TO see tho most stubborn resls-
tance on the part OF the Germans prior

believe the present German policy Is
simply to retreat as slowly Rs Is COM

are evidences OF rapid retreat Il Is be-
