THE COMMUNICATING of the
Steamer Frederica is a hard blow to
that part of Delaware along the Del
aware bay, where no railroad pene-
trates, and must result in lessening
the production of much food supplies.
An appeal has been made and the
matter is now under consideration.

THE SALOONS of Wilmington seem
to be in the same situation as sal
oons of Philadelphia and Chester, and
some other places, as to their supply
Of beer. The United States Govern
ment has ordered the reduction OF
the amount of beer brewed by one
third, and as a result, signs have been
hung on the windows of many sal
Oons, notifying the public that no
beer" is for sale. and frequently they
have closed before evening. This is
certainly one business which is not
necessary, and one which the United
States government can well stop with
out hardship to any one. The men
working in saloons should be COM
PEELED to do some useful work or be
made to help win the war, instead of
dealing out a beverage which incapac-
itates men for service. Close them
all, and then have the brewers and
saloon keepers do their bit towards
winning the war. Stop a bad habit
forming business anyway for the sake
Of our boys and future citizens.

THE RED CROSS contributions
made by the State of Delaware during
the week which closed last Tuesday
morning, will exceed the sum of two
million dollars, it has been announc-
ed by those in position to know when
the final accounting is made. This
splendid charity is one which can not
be carried on under the management
Of any government for several rea-
sons, the first of which is, it is a vol
untary contribution made without re-
gard to nation, political affihation. or
religious connections, and can not
therefore be applied by any organized
government Should that be attempt
ed, an enemy would, under interna-
tiOnal law, be justified in attacking its
employees, and contiscating its prop
erty. As it stands. every country in
the world, except Germany, recOg-
nizes Red Cross workers and the
work they are doing for the suffering
and helpless. That man or woman
who refuses to give to the Red Cross
with the plea. Let the government
do this work; l will not give towards
It, is traitor to the world and is un-
worthy the opportunity to do business
in the country in which he or she
may have a residence. They are a dis
grace to any state; but, it may be that
they are ignorant of what they are
doing, and are honest in their belief
through ignorance-if that be the
case, then they are to be pitied and
enlightened, that they may become
better citizens. and not ruthlessly
ramp down the relief from suffering
which could only come through the
sfforts Of the Red Cross.

Arch Bishop ireland
a Temperance Worker

The Catholic Temperance Advocate
prints the following about the late
Arch Bishop Ireland:
He soon attracted national atten-
ton through his work Tor temper
ance. The story is told of how on
one January night in 1869, three
drunkards staggered into his doorway
and handed him rumpled sheet OF
paper on which was written
For Gods sake, organize a tenn
perance society," The paper was
signed by seven men, including sa-
loonkeeper. That happened on the
day when st. Paul was filled with
border turbulence and the riot OF
drink. The next Sunday Father Ire
land began his campaign by organic
ing a temperance society of eighty
members. He made hut-to-hut visits
TO St. Paufs shanty town, throwing
bottles out of squalid doorways. The
work he thus began he extended
throughout the Northwest and travel
ed the whole country preaching tenn
perance. He even carried the battle
back to Ireland and Great Britain.

What Prohibition
Can and Cannot Do

No, Prohibition will not of itself
bring in the economic millenniunr
but it will put out the uncomfortable
fires that consume the hearts and
brains OF men and women who must
meet this industrial crisis, who must
find the plan of justice that will en-
able all, with the full guarantee of
safety to each, to live as brothers on
one sod. 1t will clear the air for
sober thinking and equip minds and
souls for constructive craftsmanship
And directly it will save the nation
annually $2,250,0O0,0O0 sum so fabu-
lous that not even the richest nation
of the world may waste it without in
viting disaster. Daniel c. Polling.

The REVENUE QUESTION

Four hundred million dollars will
be lost in revenue owing to the en-
actment of wartime Prohibition In
the United States, according to the
claim of the liquor interests. DuA
cussing this question, the Peekshill,
n. ]. News says:
Apparently they would have us con-
tinue an abominable and hurtful traf-
fic in order that we might collect the
revenue that comes from increasing
an evil As financial proposition the
purpose is very like that of the men
who buy cigars so as to secure the
prize bands, and the housekeepers
who buy cigars SO as to secure the

nothing a piece of cheap crockery
of possible value of fve-cent piece.

being sent out from various parts of

simple method of manufacturing high

latest booze fake comes from Buffalo,
N. Y, and describes "homestill"

. AN AMERICAN AIRDROME IN
FRANCE. July 1s.-Before leaving on
a long distance night raid the air
men first prepare their maps with
great care. marking on them the de-
tailed course from tha aeroarome to
their objective.
BY means of a small balloon. whose
speed, direction and height are record
ed by an instrument on the ground.
the force and direction of the wind
at different attitudes are discovered.

course on the map. The compass
course for the return journey Ia also
ma r2xed. The speed of the machine Is
calculated, and on the line of the
course a series of points is marked.
showing where the machine should
. be every ten minutes. thus enabling
the airman to check his progress and
to know his approximate position II
he gets lost
Compass Shows Course.
The airman climbs in circles above
his aerodrome until he has gained
sufficient height to start safely on
his Journey. and then turns his ma
chine eastward. until his illuminated
compass shows that he is flying on
the right course Then he flies
straight taking care to avoid swerv-
ing to right or left.
At the same time he watches the
country below for landmarks. As he
crosses the lines he looks for some
distinctive feature, such as the bend
of canal, the dark mass of bat
tered town. or the thin black thread
OF a railway. If he finds it he knows
he is on the right course.
Then he sees that river should
appear in few minutes. His watch
minutes. and near the forty-hve-mip-
ute mark on his map is a twisted
pale blue line. He looks ahead and
sees in the moonlight a silver streak.
and he knows he is making good
time. When he is over -ae river he
and sees that he is crossing 1t at the
right place He is forging steadily
ahead to his destination. He sees the
river and canals most clearly of all
the landmarks in the nighttime.
Water is unmistakable. The next
forests, which appear like black
patches. and their shape is usually
very distinct. He sees the roads like
thin white ribbons save where they
are thickly bordered by trees.
Railways Hard to Locate.
Railways are not SO distinct. and he
cannot see them very far of. for
they are likely microscopic black
lines. Until he is directly over them
he cannot see the towns and villages,
but he can see the rivers many miles
OF. and finds them the most reliable
guide of all.
So. checking his compass with the
landmarks and with the ever-reliable
north star. he arrives at his destina-
tion after travelling many miles
across unfamiliar country. He drops
his bombs, and finds the return. with
'Hghtened cargo, very much easier.
Tnere is kind of "homing instinct"
SO airmen say. which takes them
back quickly and directly with little
difficulty.
