Toxic, Oct. 17.-Japan Is as loyal IN
the great alliance caused by this war
as she is to the Anglo Japanese al
lance, declared Niscount uchida, the
minister of foreign affairs in the ne"
Japanese cabinet In an interview TO-
day. She regards the alliance with
Great Britain as the cornerstone or h'r
foreign policy. he said.
I'VE are impressed" he continued,
by the most recent utterances OF the
president Of the United States, al
dressing the people of that country.
The declaration OF the president that
with perfect unity OF purpose the
counsel will come the assurance OF
complete victory seems to me the first
principle in the solution Of the difficult
problem before us There can he no
league of nations unless there Is among
the members as complete unity of con-
fidence and trust in one another ae of
purpose and counsel. The noh'ess
oblige' of the west or the Bushido' OF
the east must permeate and guide the
action of any such league. Distrust
and Suspicion must be left outside the
door.
Japan has always endeavored 10
make plain by word as well ny decd
that she Is ready TO undertake. fair
proportion of the work looking 10 the
attainment Of the common aim ana
she is as loyal to the great alliance
created by this war as to the Anglo
Japanese alliance which Japan In
variably regards as the cornerstone
of her foreign policy.
we are all Joined now closer than
ever by a common duty to obey Il
common mandate to prevent the
spoliation of a nation which was be-
trayed in an hour of great weakness.
Our great neighhor. Russia, Is not dis
loyal. She HAS been regarded as dis
loyal simply because IN attempt mas
been made to rob Russia of the name
she carried so proudly in the past.
The honest people of Russia must
como into possession of their heritage
and be helped to secure It by the ma @

Doughbo>s in
france Become
Souvenir Hunters

TCorrespondence Associated Press
With the American Troops North.
west Of Verdun. Oct. 2S-The success
sive pushes" by which the Americans
helped tho enemy rearward toward the
Rhine furnish great opportunities for
souvenior hunting. Nearly every dough-
boy at the front has become a boone
souvenir hunter and has annexed a
quantity of excess baggage that in
some cases is appalling.
The first impulse of a German SOL
der who decides to retreat or to sur-
rende: seems to be to get rid of his
steel helmet. beautifully or weirdly
cam oufaged as it may be. In any col
umn of prisoners 10 be seen on any
road behind the American lines, not
over FIVE in any hundred are still wear
ing their helmets. All have donned
the soft SLOUGH cap that so detracts
from their soldierly appearance.
The helmets are dropped, thrown
away in haste. and all but clutter up
the battlefield. Nearly every American
soldier who has been fighting at the
front either has a German helmet by
now, or has sent one home. For under
new railing by genekal headquarters
1t is now possible to paste home ad-
dress on German helmet. drop the
headgear into the mail box and send
it to mother. sister or sweetheart. just
how many have gone home. ostensibly
as the personal booty OF the sender. 1t
would be hard to say.
Many Of the helmets are interesting
to say the least Many boche soldiers
have in their idle hours painted and
camonflaged their head pieces until
they have weirdly odd appearance.
The German helmet has vastly more
surface space than the American, the
British or the French. 1t has protec-
ton for the ears and neck m the shape
Of a rim or extension. so that quite q
little picture can be drawn lit.
The most popular camouflage is a
series Of two-inch stripes that meet at
the top Of the helmet and extend, like
the ribs of fan. outward and down.
ward to the edges Of the hat. In other
cases the entire surface space is paint
ed into squares of yellow. green and
gray. or in all the colorsj Of the rain
bow. The composite effect Is startling.
These are the most coveted Of all
souvenir helmets, and the doughboy
who has not the opportunity OF finding
one on the battlefield gladly gives a
sack OF tobacco for one.

that the steam laundry, which ~ an
American invention, will undoubtedly
solve the clothes question. Portable
steam lanndries have already been built
for this purpose and shipped TO our

bathing establishment, which is also
in use on the western front, will rid

The trenches present the worst problem,

the last opportunity.
While there will be one more regis

it will be well for the many citizens who

Without registration no citizen may

A Good Beginning.

With Harry T. Graham Of Wilmington
as chairman, BENJAMIN a. Hazel of
Smyrna as vice-chairman, James Lord Of
Camden as secretary, and Insurance
Commissioner Thomas r. Wilson of
Milton as treasurer, which organization
was effected this week, the Democratic
State Committee is well-offcered. Also,
it starts upon the State campaign under
unusually pleasing and promising aus
pices.
The reelection of Chairman Graham
is a deserved recognition of good work.
Under his efficient direction the State
campaign two years ago was most eff
fectively conducted, and full advantage
taken of situations that pointed to ma
terial Democratic success. He may be
looked TO with confidence to do equally
good work this fall. And the same may
be said of Secretary Lord, who has held
his position for years.
Never since the DAYS of Democratic
supremacy 10 Delaware did the Democrat
ic party enter upon a State campaign
with more occasion for encouragement.
There is every reason to look for thorough
Democratic victory.
