JUST WHEN the Delaware soldiers
stationed at Camp Dix will be given
an opportunity to cross to France
where they can get the experience
and training for real war work. seems
to be problem to the great majority
OF folks. It is shame to pocket the
Delaware soldiers at Camp Dix, and
leave Them under a cloud, for they
certainly do not merit this fate.
There are officers and men in the 59th
Pioneer Regiment who are chatting
under this restraint, but who are too
good soldiers to rebel against their
superior commander, and who are
suffering unjustly because of some
unknown political reason. over which
they have no control The men who
go to France, and after a campaign
there, return to this country, will be
greater citizens by reason of the ex-
perience they have gained, and the
broadening effect upon their minds.
The men who come back will be big
ger men, broader men and men who
will know for themselves how to treaS
the important questions which will
come before the country for treat
ment. both in military as well as in
civic and commercial affairs. Send
he Delaware soldiers to their oppor-
unity. Do not treasure up resent
nent for any mistakes which have
been made in the past by the Della
ware people demanding the holding
" Delaware troops together as a
tate unit. Give the boys their
hance, and see them make good, as
hey always have and always will, in
efense Of their country.

THE STATE Council of Defense for
Delaware has been stirring up the
people in all parts of the state. and
for the past ten days Kent and Sus-
sex counties have been receiving at
tention. The agent to see that the
orders are enforced for lower Kent

nolia, and his visit to Milford this
past week has stirred up bunch Of
the men who have no steady employ
ment, and who have paid no attention
to the orders of either the United
States government or to those coming
from the State Of Delaware. This
order does not mean that the individ-

but that he must be regularly employ

IF THE PEOPLE in Delaware know
how to respect the National Flag. or
honor the National Anthem, they GER
tainly are failing to pay proper re-

man should stand steady upon both
feet, with hands at their sides, until
the last bar Of the music is finished
Most men and women fail to do the
latter part of their duty, and in the
atres especially. take that time TO
move in or out of the building. The
management should enforce this pat
riotio duty. by public statements in
structing the audience as to their
duty. In passing the flag, or the flag
passing you, when in an official cap
acity, the civilian must stop and un-
cover his head until the flag has pass
ed him ten feet. In many places the
person who failed to do this. would

zen who happened to be near when
the offence happened. We have seen

THE CASUALTY lists which are
now coming in show the losses by the
American army in the fighting in
France during the past two weeks,
and while they are growing larger
each day, yet the number is smaller
than we would believe possible, in
view Of the desperate battles in which
our boys have taken part, and the
vicious character Of the Prussian
soldiers against whom they we're op-
posed. The lists have grown to about
one thousand casualties each. day as
reported by General Pershing. This
is not an excessive list when we con-
slider the number of men who are
fighting in France, which is more
than a million. The natural death
rate would number a surprising list
in itself, were these men in training
at home. II we are to end the war
quickly. then It is well that our cas-
ualty lists show heavy losses for
brief time, rather than they be ex-
tended over many months or even
years.

THE FACT has grown upon the
people that Kent and Sussex needs,
ana must have, real representation,
for Delaware in the United States
Senate of their interests. 1t is true
that Wilmington is of the greatest i'm
portance to the industries which per-
tain to manufacture, and should have
a man there who is zig enough to see
the future needs of legislation which
will protect and build up business.
On the other hand, the agricultural
part Of Delaware must have repre-
sentation in the United States Senate
by a man who is in touch with the
people engaged and interested in ag-
ricultural affairs and the interests
through which it must prosper. For
many years Delaware has suffered
from the lack Of just that kind of re-
presentation in the United States SEN
ate. There is an opportunity now,
and it should be taken advantage Of
by the people to secure what they
need, and what the country at large
needs, to nominate and elect such a
man from Delaware. In Ruby r.
Vale the people Of lower Delaware
have recognized the man Of the hour,
and Of their necessity. Ruby R. Vale

THE OLD rule of early colonial
days that IF any man will not work
neither shall he eat" has not proven
practical of application in these days
Of complex social conditions There
are too many ways by which men can
get something to eat without work

one that can be enforced, and it
should be.

OUR NEIGHBOR town Laurel has
been the victim of a fire loss this

wise provision for all towns, for the

JUST TO remind the people who
come into Delaware to visit friends.
and who bring more than a quart of
whiskey with them. You are liable
to arrest, and your automobile is sub
ject to confscation by the State. when
more than one quart of whiskey is
found above the individual limit. The
police of Wilmington, as well as the
police Of other towns in Delaware,
have been directed to make search of
autos suspected. or reported, as like
ly to have illegal supplies in them.
This is simply a hint to those who
are guilty, and who may only occa-
sionally run liquor illegal into dry
territory. If you are caught, don't
expect any favors, for the law will be
enforced.

TRICKS OF COAL
TRADE REVEALED
BY FUEL BUREAU

\ sideliEht on methods employed
by many coal producers TO squeeze an
additional - or 30 cents a ton proht
out OF coal consumers is disclosed by
the Fuel Administration in state
mont defending revocation OF the
regulation under which jobhers are
now allowed to add a commission. or
margin, to the price OF coal, at the
mines.
Before the Fuel Administration
was created jobbCrs bought from the
operators cheaper than the retainer
could. and sold to the retailer, the
operator naming a lower price to the
jObber who would take the entire out
put of his mine and relieve him of the
burden OF selling it, The Fuel Ad-
ministration in fixing prices made an
allowance for jObbers above the oper-
atUr's price. The Fuel Administration
says:
after several months OF operation
under the practice OF allowing the
jcbher to add a commission, or mar
gin. to the price Of coal at The mine,
it developed that this margin was
being charged and collected in many
ways not contemplated by the
Fuel Administration. Agencies which.
while technically jobbers, were not
such in fact, or were closely affiliated
with the operators Tor whom they
acted. collected the jobbers' margin.
which thus became mere increase in
the profit OF the operator.
zone Of the methods by which this
profit was obtained by the operator
was the practice or swapping coal
Two operators would nErcH to act as
jobbeTs for each other in the sale
of their output. each collecting the
jobbeT's margins.
"Another practice was that Of or
ganiZinE subsidiary companies. the
sole function OF which was TO act as
the ostenSiblr jObbcrs Of the produC
ing companies by which they were
owned, and to collect the commits ioL
allowed by the Fuel Administration.
THE effect or these practices was
70 adj from fifteen to thirty cents
n tonc TO the cost Of coal TO the CON
sumner for services that were merely
fictitious"

QUARTET
FORMED BY BLIND
BRITISH TONNES

Somewhere in France there are four
blind British Tommies, who go about
among their more fortunate comrades
and sing songs to them. They call
themselves the Shrapuel Quartet, for
they lost their sight when flying
fragments OF exploding shells found
Judgment in their eyes. They re-
fused 10 accept their discharge from
the army. but returned TO the firing
line to cheer their companions In
arms for songs are a necessity in the
life of the soldiers.
The Shrapncl Quartet made their
own instruments. boring holes into
gun barrels for flies and fashiOning
thsir own rude fiddles. They play on
these Instruments and they sing songs
20 their own accompaniments. There Is
little demand for "Tipperary" and the
multifaTious war songs now on the
market. for the soldiers prefer the
more tuncfUi, honey melodies.
The blind TommIes of the Shfapnel
Quartet sing to them the songs Of
Carrie Jacobs Bond.
Every place the British Tommy goes
the songs Of Carrie Jacobs Bond are
heard. ~ Perfect Day" is more popu-
lar IN the army than all the war songs
that have been written. The Tom
mics sing il behind the trenches. or

in the snow and the cold, and they al

after returning. wet and tired, from
raids on the German lines.
