A REGRETTABLE MISTAKE.

II is sad and irritating TO think hat
millions e dollars worth Of building
material imported into France by Miss
Anne Morgan ; committee for the re-
building OF French villages has fallen INTO
the enemy hands IN Inc COURSE OF his
recent drive But ii il IS true that this
bias occurred 1t serves 10 IlluSt rate fand
emphasize some Of the mistakes made by
the Allies and oursclvt, This material
would not have been placed where 1t is
SAID TO have been If the menace OF I'M
pending German ofTenslvc> had been
gagged accurately from the outset, and
the rebuilding Of villages comparatively
close behind the battlefront would not
have been undertaken 50 soon If the Allies
had not been ovcrconfIdeut of their
ability to prevent another German adj
vance into French territory
Most important Of all, 1t seems clear
now that a mistake was made In devoting
cargo space to the transportation of this
building material Much as the rebuild
ing Of the ruined towns of France IS to be
desired il is vastly more important, for
France rs well as for the rest of us, TO
defeat the Germans and if the facts of
the situation had been seen as clearly
some months ago as they are seen now,
the cargo space that was used IN carrying
this material would have been used in

Helm the Government.

Few people. indeed, in this country
now fail to realize that We are fighting
a brutal, relentless enemy. The in
dictmcnt against the Hun grows
stronger every day. He is absolutely
devoid of pity or chivalry. An Ameri-
can correspondent reports CONVERSE
ton with crippled British officer
who, after long stay in German prison
pens, had been exchanged.
The officer told of men so feeble
as to be able scarcely to stand being
forced TO work at the point Of a bayo
net until they dropped from sheer weak
ness; of badly set gtIn-fractured arms
and legs; of soldiers buried TO the ac-
compartment of the jccrs of German
soldiers; of the long journeys of the
badly wounded without relief of dressings,
food, or water; of wounded prisoners
marched to exhaustion and then shot
down like dogs when they no longer
could walk; of prisoners put into camps
where typhus ragged.
This is the kind of enemy we arc
fighting, and this is why all of us must
get down and put every bit of our strength
back of the government. For one thing,
we must buy only those things necessary
to maintain ourselves in the most cf-
fcient condition That will give the
more labor and materials
for war purposes, And then with our
savings we must buy war savings stamps
That will give the government current
funds with which to use labor and ma
terials in the successful prosecution of
the war We must do as President Wilson
asks us TO do in his message pledge our
selves on or before June 2S to save
and TO Dry regularly govern
nent securities We shall then be doing
)ur part.

The COUNTY Tax r ate.

Amid various matters Of more than
usual local interest, the people have not
lost sight of the county tax rate for the
next fiscal year The Levy Court is still
wrestling with this problem, and has
been giving hearings 10 various delega-
tons, in the interest Of the lowest rate
possible with due consideration for the
needs of county administration And all
taxpayers are seriously concerned.
1t is no wonder the people, especially
the taxpayers Of the city of Wilmington,
who contribute the large bulk of county
taxation, have an unusual concern in the
subject Of county taxation at this time
They are called upon to submit, for the
next year, to a heavy increase IN city
taxation, the rate having been advanced
from 81 ,35 to S175 on the 500. based on
an increased assessment. Therefore, they
look for some modification Of this in
creased tax burden by lowering Of the
county tax rate, at present % cents on
the Sl00
And they have right to expect
lessening of the burden Of county taxa
ton. For the ensuing fiscal year the
assessment for county taxation has been
enormously increased, that for Whining
ton being almost equal to the city assess
ment This largely increased county
allows the Levy Court room
for liberal reduction ia the county TAX
rate The Levy Court should meet the
situation in the right manner.

WHERE is HINDENBURG?

During the Picardy and Flanders
drives the German publicists loudly
proclaimed the leadership Of Hindenburg.
1t was expected that the terror of the
name of the 'hero' Of East Prussia would
add largely to the German strength.
The strategy Of both these drives was
attributed to the Prussian But the
Allies were. not frightened
When the drives ended with large
territorial gains but without anything
resembling a decisive victory the imperial
German press agents decided to put
Hindenburg behind curtain There
were vague reports that the Prusslan
was sick at Cologne Thereafter he has
not been heard frOsi. sick or sound
The Aisne drive was not advertised
as product Of Hindenburg's brain.

Newspapers and the Courts.

The Supreme Court of the United
States. ON Monday, handed down an
OPINION in case which had been pending
since 1914, but is OF more than ordinary
interest at this time. II involves the
night Of newspapers to comment upon
cases at law while they are pending IN
the courts.
In this case. the alleged offender was
the Toledo, Ohio. Ncws-Bee- An ac-
ton was pending in the United States
Court of the district to prevent the
enforcement Of an ordinance passed by
the Toledo City Council, providing for
three-cent fares on the trolley lines in
that city Naturally. the case gave rise
to heated controversy in which the News
Bee took an active part. supporting the
case OF the city and the enforcement Of the
ordinance by editorial comment. cartoons
and in various other ways.
The court objected TO this procedure,
and cited the editor and publisher Of the
paper to appear and answer TO charge
Of contempt OF court. After a hearing
they were adjudgcd guilty and fines were
jmnosed upon them Thcv appealed
