AMERICAS GAIN

When the military caste in Berlin set the war going.
1t little knew what forces It was awakening and putting
into action. It's ultimate aim was domination bv autoc-
racy throughout the earth: its main accomplishment has
been THE certain destruction of that system. Whatever
else the war has done, it has strengthened popular gov

The United States was headed toward. plutocracv.

doliar-grabbing was not practiced for power. it was fol-
lowed as a means Of obtaining selfish pleasure. The war
has brought the Republic back to its senses, back to

THE CROWN PRINCES ARMY

The Herald still receives an occasional inquiry ask
ing whether or not it is true that the German Crown
Princes ar1py has been captured. It is not true. Not
only has the original rumor to that effect not been con-
hrmed. but that army is still fighting, and retreatine
therefore it has not been captured. - The prospects are
that 1t will not be captured at this time. And if the Allies
keen whiting away at it at about the present rate there
win soon be nothing of it left to capture.

DELAWARE DOES Her
BIT IN FOURTH LOAN
With Quota of Sixteen Millions, State
Raises Twenty Millions. Milford
Districts Went Over the Top.

The State of Delaware again dem
onstrated that she is in the lead when
1t comes to raising money for the use
of our government. When announce
ment was made at the Federal Re-
serve District headquarters, in which
Delaware is part, that the state had
/ more than raised its quota. the Off
Gals stated that Delaware was the
iirst state in the east to officially re-
port having raised its full allotment.
Nor is this all, for with only sixteen
millions to raise, the workers push
ed the load to such an extent that over
twenty millions was secured. This
was done in the face of many dificul-
ties. one of the principal of which was
the epidemic of influenza which pre-
vented the holding of any mass meet
lngs, and was the result of causing
hundreds from subscribing who 9TH
erwise would have taken bonds.
Both Kent and Sussex counties are
proud of the manner in which thew
nave gone over the top, and the coun-
" chalrmen are more than elated
Both counties did excellent work.
When 1t comes to individual districts
IN the two lower counties, Cedar
Creek will probably be given the ban
ner honOrs. With a quota of $50 OO0
to raise, the district secured over
$S60,O00, thereby more than doubling
It's tull quota. Milford hundred. in
Kent county. also went over the top,
ana 1t also deserves much credit for
It's showing. This district had an ex-
ceptionally large quota to raise, $780,
600 being its allotment, but active
working more than got the desired
amount as was announced in last
weeks issue of the Chronicle.
AS has been the case in each and f.
every loan to date, the state of Del
aware has more than done her share
n securing the needed money and
hose people who have subscribed for

CHRISTMAS BUYING

The Council of National Defense
and Advisory Commission have re-

the Government toward Christmas
buying. Manufacturers and merch-
ants are desirOus to be advised at this
time in order intelligently to plan for
their Christmas stocks. Therefore,
the Council and Advisory Commission
now announce that it is their belief
that Christmas giving which involves
the purchase of gifts should be dis
cOuraged as relieving to that extent
the present heavy burden placed upon
labor, transportation and other re-
sources OF the nation, and also as be-
ing in harmony with the previous an
nouncement of the Council and Advis-
Org Commission urging thrift and
economy upon the country.

Cadet Squadron, Ellington Field.
Houston, Texas was received in Dover
Monday, by his uncle, Herman C.
Taylor. Young Taylor was taken i'll

ago, when his father. Rev. william
P. Taylor, was pastor of the NJ. E.

latter was pastor at Lincoln City.
young Taylor attended the high school
here in Milford, and graduated with
high honors in June. 1914. He was a
student at Dickinson College, Carlisle
Pa, in his junior year, when he left
that institution.
Some time afterwards Cadet Taylor
enlisted in the aviation branch of the
U. S. Army service. He was in train
ing at Cornell University for six
months, and left Cornell two or three
months ago for Houston, Texas, to
complete his course in aviation pre-
paratory to going overseas. Had he
lived he would have received, in a
few weeks. his commission as second
lieutenant.
The body was brought to Salisbury. /

Every farmer who can devote an
