The Pan-Gernans say the Liberals are
fools and assert that America would have
come IN anyway, regardless Of the sub

The Liberals are right; and the Pan
Germans may be wrong. But that does
not matter What does matter IS that
Germany is beginning TO realize that the
American factor will WIN the war, and
that the defeat Of Germany Is now in
evitablc As this conviction becomes
more fixed and definite there Is likely
to be something more serious than re

IN this country was that of March lS,
1878 this was 35 years after the end
of the Revolution and did not apply TO
veterans Of the War OF 1872 Only sol
diers in INDECENT circumstances could
obtain pensions under 1t
There were so many applications for
pensions that Congress passed tthe
alarm act two years later, ordering that
property owners be dropped from the
pension rolls Men who owned SO small
an amount as $3.50 worth of property
had their pension discontinued May
Is, lS2S. or 45 years after the end Of the
war, n service pension was granted TO all
who served throughout the war. II was
10 years after the close Of the war before
pensions were granted to men who had
served only six months.
War widows we're first pensioned IN
1886. So wears after the end of the war.
This act applied only to women married
to soldiers or sailors before the end Of
his last service. Seventy years after the
end Of the war all limitations rs TO date
OF marriage were struck out.
The first general pension law affecting
men who fought in the naval War of
1912 vas not passed until 81 years after
the close Of the war Veterans Of the
war against Mexico did not receive pen
sIons, except IN special cases ot need or

He Was a Good Citizen.

OF philcmma Chandler, who died at
his home in Claymont, yesterday, after
having only recently celebrated hls
ninetieth birthday anniversary, II may be
truly said that he died full of years and
honors" Up to few years ago his iiie
was full Of activity, including many
wears spent in useful public service
Mr.. Chandler was contracting car
pcnter and builder by profession, but
having a healthy interest IN public atiarS

1t was as county comptroller, however,
that MIR Chandler displayed his largest
usefulness and made his best record For
eight wears he filed this important office,
and during every working hour OF bus
official time he was alert 10 see that the
people OF New Castle county got value

money. Many dollars he saved thcm by
his careful scrutiny Of claims, and by his

Carranza's Second Thought.

President Carranza Of Mexico very
wisely took q second thought over the
matter, after which he materially amend
ed the decree by which he would have
practically taxed the American and
British holders Of oil property IN his
country out Of business. His scheme OF
taxation was just about equal to conhsca-
ton. and naturally aroused protest from
both Washington and London. Then
Carranza gave more thought to the matter
and made change
What benefit Carranza or his govern
ment would have derived from has
original tax scheme It IS difficult 10 con-
ceive. unless he expected to receive pay
from Germany in return for driving the
American and British interests out OF
business. Carranza has long been favor
able to Germany and opposed 10 tins
country, but has not dared TO come out
openly in aid Of his German favontes.
Perhaps the great change IN the for
tunes OF the war, with the tide now turned
in favor Of the Allies, actuated Carranza
to some extent in his altered purpose
lie could see that he cannot depend upon
Germany, and also cannot afford TO
break with the United States We are
not so deeply engaged in the European
War that we cannot give due attention
to matters here at home. And certainly,
at this important time, our government
would not be inclined to stand any annoy
ing nonsense from Mexico.

In some parts of the country where

lance committees that found verdlcts

not be countenanced. 1t had To be rep
rotated and condemned Patriotism,
no matter what the provocation, sullies
itself by rcsorting 10 the process of Judge
Lynch. This verdict of Chicago jury
will do more to open the eyes of the
American people to the ugly peril latent
In the propaganda of this anarchIstc

patriots who, by their folly or worse,
give aid To the enemy; for the spies IN

DEFEAT AND VICTORY.

Defeat and victory are kin,
And one must know them both to win
He has not proved his worth at all
Who has not suffered from fall.
The victors part man cannot choose
Who seeks to win, must learn TO lose.
Man in his failures looks the best;
'I'is there he meets ifc's real test.
In every form of strife there lies
A richer treasure than the prize,
And he who places victory first
Has set his standard with the worst.
Who will not rather choose defeat
Than stoop to conquer by deceit
Who counts an honest effort less
Than evlciously- attained success
Has failed in lfc's suprenest test,
Whatever medals deck his breast.
The brighter glories sometime fall
To him that men failure call
The goal he misses Is his prtde;
For when his soul was being tired
lie chose to lose the victor S fame
Than win by any trek of shame.
Better il is 10 miss the goal
Than stain the splendor OF the soul,
And when at last the race Is done
And known are all we've lost and won,
Our failures then may brighter glow
Than all the victories we show.
