The Murder Of the Gar.

Yesterdays news reports were TO the
effect that the report of the assassination
of Nicholas. late Gar Of Russia, by
Bolshevikists, had been confirmed This,
however, is not at all surprising.
The present Bolshevik rule Of Russia,
q rule that is not In accord with decent
human sentiment or the enlightenment
Of nations, is essentially German. 1t is
only natural, therefore, that it should
resort TO German methods Nicholas
was looked upon as menace to Boil
shevik rule Therefore, Nicholas must
die
In contrast with this monstrous crime,
the executions of Charles | Of England
and of Louis XVI of France stand forth
as completely justified. But what justi6-
cation can there be offered for this brutal
murder of the late Gar?

I HE SERVANT PROBLEM.

The servant problem is becoming a
serious one for the inexperienced house
wife. Many domestics who formerly
cooked and busted are now working in the
munitIon factory, the machine shop and
the shipyard Men servants, under a
ruling OF the government, must soon seek
vocation more directly useful to their
country. This not only applies TO Ameri-
ca, but England and every other nation
where the demands of war have curtailed
the supply of help. In Great Britain
cooking schools are becoming popular.

Tor the success that has attended the
campaign in Delaware, the special drive

mean, however, that the campaign is
ended. 1t will be continued, and further
good results may be expected.
The drive was inaugurated and con-
ducted for the purpose of securing pledges
of subscriptions to War Savings Stamps,
and it has been most successful. Once
more, it is expected, Delaware will go
TO the fore in respect OF extending sup
port TO the government and dong her

again be found at the front. The returns
of subscriptions are very gratifying.
Selbyville, in Sussex county, made the
fine record of $40 per capita, with 9S per
cent of it's citizens enrolled as subscribers.
Other communities will not be behind
SelbyvilIe to any noticeable extent.
The campaign, as we have said, was
for subscriptions. and il has been attended
with gratifying results These subscrip-

PRESS COMMENT.
AGES OF DRAFTEES.

In view OF the position taken by Score
tsry Baker and General March, tho
Senate military committee will wisely
postpone further action on the draft
age limits for the present. Tho promise
of new army program, to be submitted
within the next ninety days, Indicates
definite policy for the guidance Of Con-
gress.
BY raising the draft-age limit TO forty
five and lowering it to eighteen or even
twenty. millions of additional men would
be rendered subject to service. In the
older class undoubtedly u larger pro
portion under the selcctive-service rcgila-
tions than in the younger class would be
relieved from military service on grounds
of support of dependents, industrial
occupations and physical defects. But
the amount Of good material to he found
among men from thirty lone UP To forty
or up TO forty-five, wherever the line,
might be drawn, would be very large.
At the other extreme, how far the limit
should be lowered whether to eighteen
or twenty rs an open question. The
military view, based On experience,
inclnes TO the inclusion of very young
men, as best adapted for rapid training
and active service
In preparing ms plans secretary bhhef
cannot overlook the fact that Congress
moves slowly and that the sclective-
service machinery is cumbersome. In
anticipation of the registration Of the men
who had attained the agc Of twenty one

act was introduced in Congress on Jan.

days TO prepare it's program and Con

class of rcgistrsnts will be called into the

view of the rapid progress the War D~-
partment is making in other directions.

The first is that the public has stood

of letting the bucoic prohteer know It,
That way lies in not buying from the

stores, where square deal goes along
with Just 81 good goods as the farmer
ever dared to sell. A lot of Wilmington
housewives have learned the lesson and
others are studying it. And when the
farmer realizes what punishment his long
rapacity has earned for him, and how
badly ne has been led IN MS drives for
higher and higher-and all the time
mjustifabie prices, it viii be too late.
Furthermore, the farmer now feels
secure IN the belief that the Federal

THE COST OF RATS.

1t will add to the cheerfuIness with
which Americans conserve their supplies
of grain for them to know that the British
government is imposing heavy penalties
upon its own people who suffer food to
be wasted needlessly A striking example
of this is reported through the United
States Food Administration
An English farmer was fined ESQ
about $3.50 the other day because he
permitted five or six bushels of wheat to
be destroyed by rats The officers
estimated that there were about 100 rats
in the grain stack, and the court held that
farmer should come nearer than that to
controlling the rodent pests The fine,
which amounted to some $50 a bushel,
served as a warning to others, but no sum
