THOSE GAME LAWS.

From the Dover State News
Since we published our editorial rela-
tive to the game laws of Delaware, in
our issue last week, we have been in
formed by State Game Warden j. Hall
Anderson that 1t is imperative the Leg
islature should pass a bill at the COM
Ing session to provide adequate reve-
nue. to enable the State Game Commits
sion TO carry on its work OF protect
ing and propagating this States game
and fish supply. We again urge that
the members OF the General Assembly,
which Will convene at Dover early next
month, prepare and enact game laws
to correct the existing conditions. To
have Game Commission, without suf-
flcient funds to perform the duties for
which II was created, is but a farce,
and Delaware surely thinks enough OF
its game and FISH TO protect 1t from
ruthless slaughter. The new legsla-
tors, II they desire TO carry out the
wishes OF large majority OF Delawar-
cans including all true sports men in
the State, will see to IL that either a
bill appropriating an annual sum for
the use Of the Game Commission Is
passed, or that a bill SIMILAR TO that
enacted at the session OF 1918, proyid-
ing for hunters license, be re-enacted
and the revenue derived from the IL
censes be placed at the disposal Of
the commission for use in protecting
the game and fish OF Delaware.

SENATOR BALL AND
WOMAN SUFFRAGE

From the Milford Chronicle.
Senator-elect l.. Heisler Ball from
Delaware has announced that he will
support woman suffrage, should that
question come before the United States
Senate during the period Of his repre-
senting Delaware in the United States
Senate, and just here we take occa-
sion to state that it is our belief that
If the question were put before the peo-
pie OF Delaware in popular refern-
dun, that result would be realiza-
tion Of the fears of those who have
opposed this right for women in Della
ware. Senator Wolcott voted against
the submission OF the Woman Suffrage
TO the States for ratification, and Sen
atOr salisbury took the same posi-
ton; but both of these men were mis-
taken in the temper of the people and
especially mistaken in the attitude Of
the men OF Delaware to this growing
and important question, and the result
In the future Will be realized by these
Senators when too late for them to
rectify their mistake. Mrs. Henry
Thompson, who is the official leader Of
the Anti-Suffrage I'm Delaware, has ap-
pealed TO Senator Ball and remonstra-
ted against his attitude in this matter.
In her letter she states that the cleo
torate Of Delaware is Overwhelmingly
against giving women the right to the
ballot. Just here-if this aversion or
inference as made by Mrs. Thompson
is true, then why should the Anti-Suf-
frage women and men of Delaware
work so hard and persistently against
a law being enacted by the Delaware
Legislature which would permit the
electorate Of Delaware TO vote their
sentiments on this subject? Why
hesitate in this manner? Why not let
the people settle it and stop all argu-
ment? Women are entitled TO the bal
lot equally with men. They pay taxes,
they work for the schools, for the
churches, and for the moral welfare OF
the State, the county, the town and
the home. They teach our children in
the public schools, they have perform
ed wonderful work in alleviating suf-
fering during the great war and 10 is

SAVE OUR GAME.
From the Laurel Leader.
When we think Of game, covering the
fish, fowl and animal life in our State,
classed and covered by certain laws, we
always feel a certain pride and comfort
In knowing that game-game Of any
nature-is something that has won its
way into the hearts and finer feelings
Of the out-of-doors men. And there is
always something clean, refreshing and
honest in this type of man. There is
something about him that can be de-
pended upon. He loves nature and
understands much of 1t.
10 is because Of this that we call
upon the game lovers to unite at this
time in a campaign TO save, protect
and provide for the game within our
State boundaries. Delaware has game,
game that Is worth while. We have
game fish, game birds and game ami
mails. They not only provide the finest
Of clean sport for the men and women
who seek them fairly, but they give
tone TO nature that otherwise would
be more or less insipid.
Now it is up TO Delaware men, the
red blooded. clean out-of-doors men to
make a quick and sharp tight for game
protection. We must put before our
Legislature the vital need OF stringent
laws. We must call for a lowering Of
the limit in the game bag, applying
to all phases Of game life. Other restric-
trions must be made, and as one of the

When Will Butcher Strike?

THE key to q proper understanding Of the
l great battle now raging on the British
front i'll France and Belgium is to he found
in the statement by Major-General Maurice,
chief military director Of tho British War
Office, ana lying the situation. In this state
mcnt there is large reinsurance which, in the
light OF tho continued gains of the enemy,
the casual observer is apt to overlook.
I'VE have" says General Maurice "ac-
copied the principle of a united front, and
must accept the consequences Of that prin-
cplc. We must look at the whole battle,
not from army's sacrifcings but from the
standpoint Of tho whole entente The British
army is playing the role which it has often
played before 1t il fighting Waterloo
while Butcher is marching to the battle field.
Multiply the battle OF Waterloo a hundred
fold and the situation at noon in that battle
corresponds TO the situation now i'll the great
world battle. The British army is under
terrible hammering. but, providing Butcher
is marching to the battle field, there is no
reason for Encouragement"
Here we have the whole situation and al
lied plan OF strategy in a nutshell. The
forced British retirements were forescen and
provided for, The British line has yielded
against overwhelming numbers, but it
where has been broken. 1t has exacted
terrible price of the enemy for every foot of
ground surrendered. AS tho enemy legions
advance. their strength diminishes and their
The positions to which the British have re-
tired thus far are not less strong than those
they have rclinQuishcd. Sherman said Tint If
General Joseph L. Johnston had not been
removed from command OF the army that
reiterated before him on his march to the
sea-" his (Shcrman's) army would have been
destroyed before it got to the sea.
The further course OF tho great battle now
rests very largely with Blucher. If Butcher
lis marching TO the battle field there is no
room for disbursement" is the assurance
that General Maurice gives. Waterloo will
be repeated. For the allies the chief anxiety
centcrs in Butcher. AS General Maurice puts
it, What is happening to Dlncher? What
has become OF the rcscrves?" The answer to
this momcntous question is for the time being
secret closely guarded by the supreme
military command and the allied war STATS.
General Maurice knows. Assurances from
proper sources that Bluchers army is not
myth and will strike when the opportune
moment arrives may not be doubted. And
whom Butchers army does strike, the be-
ginning OF the end of another glorious Water
loo---though weeks may be required TO reach

the allies is founded in eternal right and that
