Should Have a Drydock.

The proposition for the construction,
with government aid and cooperation,
of eight drydocks along the Delaware
river is one that should attract the serious
attention of the business interests Of VII
rnington. For surely, il the enterprise
IS entered upon, one of those drydocks
should be constructed at the port OF VIII
mington.
We lave one drydock in our city, at
the Harlan 4 HolGngsworth plant, but
il is not large enough 20 accommodate
many ships OF the size that are now beng
constructed, and the restrictions OF ITS
location hardly admit Of generous en-
largement. But there IS no doubt 1t w1lI
continue TO serve its purpose fer the ac-
commodation Of shirs OF suitable size IN
the future, rs il has in the past There
will always be a need for II.
But our city can offer locations for new
and enlarged drycock, one sufficient TO
accommodate the largest ships We are likely
10 build. The harbor Of the Christiana,
where the stream empties into the Della
ware, is capable of generous development
into harbor of refuge, place for wharves
and piers, and site for great drydock-
There is no reason, therefore, why one
Of these great ,lrydocks should not come
TO our city. We hope those who are
interested in the future development Of
our city-now SO promising-win not
neglect this opportunity. The subject
should be earnestly considered and practi-
cal action taken There is hardly place
along the Delaware where more ad-
vantageous locat tion could be secured,
or on better terms. Nor is there any other
location in view that would better serve
the purposes of such construction.

BLOCKADE AND NEUTRAL RIGHT S.

Earl Grey's discourse on the neces-
sity Of sea blockade as a war measure
ilrnmnates, but does not dispose of,
the knotty points therein involved
On his way to Europe President Wilson
is reported to have said that the differ
enccs between the American and British
views arc not ureconciiable This is n
doubtedly true, for the interests of the
two countries are identical, and in some
way they concern the rights Of all ma
tions. Earl Grey refers 10 points brought
up by the United States from time 70
time as the war progressed prior 10 our
taking part as beiiigerent These did
impede Great Britain IN the prosecn-
tion Of the constructive blockade, but
they also greatly relieved neutral traffic
Our course, then, fairly commits us-
to the general proposition that trad
ing between neutrals is not TO he sus-
pended at the convenience of bclliger-
ents How far this can be made to con-
form 10 the so-caled constructive"
blockade may develop at the peace
table, but il is plain that freedom Of
the seas carries with it the right to
traffic between open ports.-Omaha Bee.

FILLING IN THE CANVAS.

When history Is in The making, there
is only time to sketch the picture III
broad outline. Details have to he filed
in afterward. Now we are hcgiining TO
see filled in a little Of the blank space
on the canvas where eventually will be
depicted the happenings Of the summer
of 1914.
The conventional war chronology
begins with the assa Ssinat ION At Sarajevo
on June Is The next date Is likely to
he July %, when he AUSTRIAN ultImatum
was sent to Serbia, but sometimes the
four-woek gap is broken With the insertion
of July 5, when there Vas held at Iterlin
that Crown Council 1T which, VIC arc
told war WAS deoreed.
Now the testimony of Captain Lester
before the Senate Committee at Wash
ington gives us another date On July
10 1914, which was l., DAYS before the
Austrian uitiniatum and three weeks be-
fore Germany declared var on Russia,
the German government Informed its
civilian agents that war would soon begin
and sent them forth to work by propaganda
for the kaiser's cause.
This is only one little stroke on tho
canvas. From Berlin and elsewhere
will come the data for other strokes Of
history's brush until the picture Is con-
plete Then ne shall see just how the
war was made; more, We may be able
10 learn how war in cneral Is brought
to pass. .-Poston Globe.

The War Revenue BIN.

The Senate finance committee has ~.
ported to the Senate tho War Revenue
bill for the fiscal year ending June 30
1919. It provides for tax levy Of s., $685..
466, 1000, which is reduction Of more than
s., ,o29 ,O26. 900 from the amount levied
through this measure when it was passed
by the House last September. When
passed, after discussion and possible
changes by the Senate, the bill must &c
back to the House for acceptance OF
further revision there. The signing of the
armisticc made many OF the reductions
possible.
The main sources OF revenue relied
upon are individual income taxes, excess
profits taxes, and excise taxes on various
commodities and acts. The basic rate Tor
the income tax is six per cent on taxable
income up to 1900, exemption being al
lowed on 81, 900 for single men, and on
g.. 900 for married men. From 81 GOO
upward, the rate is II per cent. Beginning
with $1,000 a surtax is imposed which Is
graduated to reach 65 per cent on all In
comes over 81 100000.
The tax on corporations has been flxed
at II per cent on the amount OF net IN
come in excess Of credits provided by the
act. The amount subject to the excess
profits tax is now figured as the sum OF
the following items % 30 per cent oil the
amount of the net income IN excess oi
the credits and deductions prescribed by
act. if such net income is not over 70
per cent of the invested capital; 90 ou
per cent of the amount of the net income
over 20 per cent of invested capital; ana
(3) the sum by which so per cent OF the
net income exceeds the amount OF the tax
figured under items % and (2). In the
redrafted bill, large number OF proposed
excise taxes and taxes on luxuries have
been eliminated.
The estimated revcnuo that viii be
raised under the provisions OF the pend
ing bill and the present law is divided as
follows: Incomes, 2,2O7, 100000; war
excess profits, 50, 400, ,0o0, 600; ;inheritances,
SIS, 5,OOO.oO0; transportation and lnsur-
ance. 1929. .o0O, 900; beverages, $3.50, ,0OO,-

HEAVY FIRE LOSSES.

November figures on FIRE losses IN the
United States and Canada are extremely
favorable when compared with the record
Of October and arc better than those Of
November Of last year. but the showing
of the past l. months j. the worst in The
history of the country with the exception
OF 1916, when san Francisco was destroyed
by earthquake and fire The November
loss of sl2 ,3;,3 50 Is small; IN October
the damage was S75,412, 800, in Aorem-
Der, 1917, property worth more than
twenty millions was burned Thus the
improvement in the month just closed is
most pronounced, and tie December
figures will indicate whether or not
Americans and Canadians at last are
learning how TO protect their inflam-
mable property.
A large proportion OF the loss OF over
$500 ,000, 900 since last December has been

You can't pick out a hero by the way he

We were held At Chateau-Thierry: we'd

1t was close N, vicious fighting, men were

But the Yanks were there 20 lick them.

But the hottest little corner in that bitter

There were eight Of them that started
there was one who saw it through
One who kept ms gun in action till the
enemy withdrew
And he whispered, when we found him.

1T was action that wanted and guess

Now he's lying UP in Dlighty with bullet
through his chest,
And the general had his colonel pin a
