! organizations Of this State resolutions
were adopted reitcratinr the loyalty OF
| Irish citizens and those OF Irish descent
IN every crisis which has confronted thus
country and arraigning Campaign of
falsehood and calumny' directed against
Ireland and Irish citizens
The resolutions appeal to the Amer

them to insist that the services Of Irish
men IN the fighting forces of the republic
entitled Ireland TO the same support
IN effecting the restoration of her God
given right to rule herself as IS conceded
TO Belgium Serbia and other small nation
alities
The resolutions are signed by Thomas
:. Dohertv. chairman James HyneS.
secretary. and Patrick Donohue. treasurer
/ and continue IN part
In this present crisis Of our race We
solemnly affirm that IN all things con
.sistent with our LOYALTY as American
citizens we will stand with and fer our
race IN Ireland IN their struggle against
threatened determination Of the race
that now confronts them
We affirm that the present reign OF

Ireland by the arrest as BY the press
reported, OF more than five hundred OF the
Irish leaders. j. an added outrage on the
rights Of q people, and viii not find place
or sympathy among the hbcrty-loving

Resolved That we feel il to be

We know this war cannot be won unless

boys are doing this now over there
There is no doubt in our minds that
they will go over the top all right and
give a good account of themselves Be

Resolved, That We make a visit TO

ator, Willard Salisbury carry mes
sage to President Wilson, that we are
with him TO win this war for freedom

TO which their vaIor materially contributed
Today, men Of the Irish race are render
ing the same valiant service in the fighting
forces of the republic as their predecessors
gave in the revolution the war of 1872,
the war with Mexico, the Civil War, and
the war with Spain We respectfully
submit that this record of loyalty and
service is beyond the possibility of sue

THE OTHER SIDE OF 1T.
Counsel for the Board and Traction
company say:
'Our propositions then are as follows,
under the constitution and laws oil the
State of Delaware, as they existed at the
time of the granting of the charters OF
the constituent roads of the Wilmington
and Philadelphia Traction Company,
and as they now exist:
Il. The legislature has, in Che char
ters in question, created no contractural
relations between the State and the cor
porations brought into being, which
would deprive the State of any OF its
sovereignty in the exercise of its police
powers.
-. The police powers of the State
are such fundamental functions of gov
crnInent that the delegation of them
without recourse or REIMBURSEMENT of
them by the State can only be sustained
by the plainest language.
80 Corporation charters are to be
strictly construed
"A, The State has created an agency for
the exercise of certain of its police powers,
and the agency. acting within the powers
conferred upon 1t, represents the State.
>. The Public tilitv Commission
of the city of Wilmington, within the
limits of this act, has the same sover-
elgn police powers over public utility
corporations as the State has within the
language OF the act creating IT, and until
such act shall be- changed by the State
"6. The regulation imposed in the
charters of constituent companies com
planned of was a mere regulation by the
state, and not contract with such com
panleS by which the State rellnquishcd
any part of its fundamental governmental
power OF police regulation.
=. Even though considered as n
contract, Yet contract may he abrogat-
ed, amended and changed by the consent
OF both parties. and under the powers of
the Public Utility Commission, acting
for and in behalf Of the State, such com
mission. together with the company
interested, might abrogatc. repeal or
suspend such contract y

for the reason that Mr. killen, out OF his

GENERAL Won BELOW TELLS
HIS SOLDIERS TO BUCK UP
Commander Of Seventeenth German
Army Admits That British HIVE
Fighting Superiority.

LONDON. September at seems
that all German commanders have not
the same exalted opinion of their
troops as that expressed by the com
mander of tho Fourteenth Reserve
Corps in his recent appeal to his men.
in which he urged them to stand fast
against all attacks and reminded them
that they were more than match Tor
the enemy"
General Won Below is one who differs
from this estimate of the German night
ing man. In order issued to the
Seventeenth Army on August he an
nounced that during July the army
lost 233 men missing and captured Oily
forty-sevc prisoners"
This shows" he continued, that
the British have at the present time n
fighting superiority over our troops IN
mo mans land" Such superiority can
only result in tho fighting spirit Of cur
infantry being impaired.
