PRErHRfNGTHE PEOPLE

GeTnigst papers 2are permitted to
print news and opinions that certainly
cannot. encourage the people to 60 on
with Che war. The ways of the cen
sorship are past finding out, but it
really looks as if the German Govern
menti wanted the minds of the people
prepared for the inevitable debacle.
Perhaps it is felt that if the people
ere allowed to face the facts for some
little time the excitement will be less
ard there will not be so much danger
Of revolutionary movements. German
papers are allowed to discuss the posi-
lion of their country in the event of
sAastria's. surrender, an devon to sug-
gest that if, Austria should surrender
Bavaria might dc; the same. In view
Of the feeling of Bavarians toward
PruSsians, this is not: so4yery imp1ub-
able. but of course it would mean the
complete disintegration of the German
{ Empire.

THE FIRST rSHEAVES

Premier Clemenceau of France re-
Gently referred to present conditions
with the allies in glowing terms.
Among other things he said:
. "These victories are only the first
sheaves OF the fruitful harvest, of
which the highest recompense, will be
the final deliverance of the world from
the oppression of implacable. brutality
and open the way for its marvellous
development. Let us salute the glori-
our aurora whose first rays. illumina-
ted the victorious fronts of the found
ers of the American Republic and of
our revolutionary forefathers. In
the abyss Of irreparable defeat the
prussian militarists will bear the
shame of the greatest attempt at
wrongdoing of which barbarics people
has heen able to dream. The supreme
obstacle to the reign of right and law
among mankind is about to disappear
in the acclaim Of a victory in which it
is our duty to make effective the tri-
umph of humanity"
A stranger who was in Paris few
days ago tells of the remarkable quiet
in the French capital while victory
over the Huns is being announced..He
did not understand why an excitabe
people could remain pacific under such
cheering news. He met "a man on
crutches and asked him why there was
so.littlee enthusiasm. By the Pickering
fame he could see medals for valor on
the mans breast. He was legless.
but he had a.giant's voice
why is there no celebration of vic
tory?", he was asked. His. answer, it
is believed, is the answer from Paris
heart.

DEIMoNIco's aaNlRalSrH3E

4##
Involuntary bankruptcy proceedings
were instituted yesterday against
;Delmonicos, the famous restaurant at.
Fifth avenue and Forty-fourth street,
New York, which is probably as wide
.ly know. as any eating-p'ace in the
world, when three men filed a petition
in the Federal Court. Their combined
claims amounted to only s799.15. Re-
ceiyers have been appointed.
The history of Delmonico's is inter-
estingc Nearly century ago a promi-
nent New York merchant while in
Paris met the original Eclmonico and
his wife who were. then operating
small cafe in the French capital. Their
place was unpretentious, although they
served invi,:ng dishes, and the smer-
chant while in Paris always dined at
Delmcn.co's. On one occasion he .sug-
gested that New York would he! bet
ter field for restauratenr, and the
Frenchnian and his wife were induced
to come to America. Delmonico's
brother later became associated with
him. The enterprise was a success
from the beginning, and Delmonicc's
soon became a place where prominent
New York merchants dined. 1t
achieved national reputation, and a
trip to New York without a visit to
this famous place was as trip now
without seeing the Brooklyn Bridge.
Alexandrians: of old after having
visited the metropolis always told Of
their experience in Delmonico's. .It.was
celebrated for the perfect order main
tanned. Should rich spendthrift. en-
ter the place and cause the slightest
disturbance he was never again enter
tanned at the place. A Delmorico
boycott was regarded as one Of the
most dire calamities that could befa,l
the opulent and thoughtless.
But.the old Greek saying is true
thereis an end alltthings, and some
few Alexandrians who remember Del
monico's when at their zenith will read
the, above with regret.

ON THE BELGIAN COAST

About the best news we aregetting :
issof thesprogresssof the Beigians and
British in dislodging the Germans
from the coast of Belgium. The Allies
have advanced far enough new to
make the submarine bases %ate 0stcnd
and zeebrugge practically useless.
Their. value. was greatly impaired by
the brilliant raids of the, British navy
and {the obstruction 3of the ports by
sinking vessels loaded with concrete.
The military operations cutting; in at
the rear destroy what little utility has,
been left to these ports.
IF the submarine basesrare moved
back to Hamburg and Bremen, 700
miles will be added to the voyage ev-
cry submarine. will haye1to make in
going forth after its victims and get
ting home again for supplies. The
submarines can carry only limited
amounts of stores, and this 700 miles
will come out of their cruising radius
after they reach the areas where they
lie in wait for. their victims. The sub
marines will very nearly be put out
of commission by the change Of base.
This, however, will not be the most
important resultsof Clearing the. Ger
mans out of the Belgian coast. The
most valuable result WILDE that an
Allied army can be landed and move
southwark against the enemy's lines of
communication. as the American army
: is moving northward from the region
between the Mouse and the Argonne
forest.
The Allies could mot land on the
Belgian coast, because the German for
tifcations on the shore and mines
planted in the sea, together withrsub-
marines operating near their bases,
made esuch an operation too shazard-
Gus. THE Germans got their right
flank uon the coast, though they did
not get as far down the coast.as they
intended to; they did not reach the
British Channel. But they had the
North Sea and the Netherlands to
guard their extreme right flank, and
any attack there would have been of
uncertain result, but of only too GER
tain appalling losses.
Now, however, the British monitors
are operating along the coast and
the British and Belgian troops are
cutting into the German lines "a few
miles inland, and there is strong
probability that in a'few days the Bel
gian coast will be sufficiently cleared
to expose the German armies and
their communications with home to an
other flank attack. They had better
not: delay too long, orAall of them will
not get away-Philadelphia Record.

To the Editor:


The funeral of John Chilly, Jr., will
be held in Washington, D. c., Mon
day. Through the untimely death of
young Chilly, a great grief has come
to the hearts of his family circle, mad
to his host of friends in this, his ma
tive city. Yet through long months
Of separation the shadow Of this sor-
row must have haunted the hearts
that loved him best-for what mother
can, by her parting kiss, consecrate
her only son to his country's cause in
days like these, without making the
supreme offering of his young life
Though brief the span ofsyears-
he was only twenty-twO-that marked
his life work, it has been great in its
achievement for, at is glorious to die
for ones country"
Persistently, he sought to enlist.
Being under weight, his first applica-
tion was unsuccessful but, determined
to make good, he sought Drawn and
muscle for a year out on a western
ranch, and he was a proud, happy
boy when at length, ne hurried home,
to say he had been accepted for active
service.
In North Sidney, Nova Scotia,
Canada, a week ago today, death from
double pneumonia claimed him as its
victim. No word of preparation pre-
coded the telegram that brought the
death message to his home in Wash
ington. No account of his last hours
came to comfort the bereaved. parents
and sisters who through seven long
days awaited the coming of all that
is mortal Of their only boy.
They will lay him to rest in Mount
Olivet-close to home-a comfort
that many a bereaved parent will not
know these days. Hosts of friends
have paid and will pay him their tri-
butte of tears but in1the ,light,of pres
ent events, congratulations rather
than coincidence seem in order. A life
like young Crilly's lives itself into
lives yet unborn. He is one of the
countless thousands of American, boys
who are giving to the world today, OBJ
ject, lessons Of the purest, highest-pa-
triotism.
Though bereavod. the hearts of his
loved ones should reioice-should be
proud of his memory.
Another hand is reckoning them.
