the United States Senatorship with
honor and wisdom, in our esteemed
fellow citizen, Ruby R. Vale, is one
of the strong reasons why the Repub-
lican Party should unanimously en-
dorse his nomination. Let US not for
get, that it will require the votes Of
all Republicans to win the victory at

COMMUNICATED.

/ Editor Milford Chronicle
/ have been a reader of the Chron-

litical faith. In a recent edition
noticed a Communication signed "A
Democrat. l am not sure in my own
mind, but that James NJ. Tunnel did
not write the article himself. Dem
Ocrats must not be fooled in this fight
for the Office of United States Sena-
tor from Delaware. Loyalty to the
Federal Government during the war,
and loyalty to the President and his
administration are the great tests Of
patriotism for all sorts of people.
When we go to the polls to select del
egates TO nominate a candidate for the
United States SenatOrship, we should
be careful and know without question
that that man is 100 per cent. true
American and 100 per cent in patri-
otic spirit. The two men most spok-
en- of are Senator Salisbury and
James NJ. Tunnel, who have enter
tanned very different ;deas between
the methods OF President Wilson and
the unspeakable Hun of Germany.

WE ARE DAILY becoming accus-
toned to the report of ships destroy
ed by the submarines along the At
lantic Coast of the United States. and
within the past week a score have
been sent to the bottom at points
ranging from three miles to one hun
dred miles at sea; but the attempt to
use deadly gas which was reported at
point along the Carolina coast. in
dicates that the German beasts are
attempting to terrorize the people.
All these acts but add to the penalty
which the Germans will have to nav
before they escape from the horrors
OF the war now destroying vast prop
erty and thousands Of lives. Every
German seems to be crazy to bring
hnal destruction upon himself and
Germany as a nation. and the wanton
cruelty of their armies, and submar-

hardest conquests the Democratic

the main points from which the activ-

is only natural sequence. following
after political preferment, and it was
also one of the potent factors which

q Corporal Noel, who was twenty
three years Of age, was a son of Mr..
and Mrs. William H. Noel. of 5722
kingsessing Avenue, Philadelphia.
formerly Of Milford, Delaware. When
news of his sons death "over there"
reached him, it found the elder Noel
patriotically resigned, but proud with
al. Here is his message to the young
men to whom the war is apparently
yet far removed:
Il have given up boy. 1t was his
desire to serve his country and
would not have changed an iota of his
! character. 1 do not regret the sacri-
/ nee. My boy won a good fight. I
| hope his example may be followed bv
others who apparently do not vet re
alize how badly their country needs
them.
Corporal Noel was a member of
Company c, 1O9th Infantry. formerly
the First Regiment, PENNSYLVANIA Ma
tional Guard. Although making ran
id strides as a violinist and singer he
patriotically abandoned all plans for
a musical career and enlisted on Julv
T. 1917, going to Camp Hancock. Ga
lie was bombing instructor there and
was transferred to Camp Upton. L. l..
ON May >, sailing on that date for
france. He won his chevrons on
June l9, 1918. Before his enlistment
ne sang in the choir of the church of
the Apostles, Twenty-first and Chris
uan streets. He also was a member
OF the Philadelphia Choral Society.
by coincidence two letters writ
ten by the soldier TO his parents were
delivered to the Noel home few
hours before the official notification
OF his death. In a long letter on July
llth, Corporal Noel said:
Just received your dear letters of
June >, 10 and II, and / can't tell Won
how glad ! was to get them. Believe
me, it sure puts pep in fellow to get
letters from home, especially the
dearest little home in the world. II
certainly pleases me greatly to know
that both OF you are keeping cheerful
and not worrying. OF course. l know
that you must worry a little. but al
ways look upon the fact that God will
send me back to you some bright dav ]
IN the near future. / firmly believe l
the Almighty Father will send me
back to you, but if He sees fit to take
me unto Him you may rest assured I
mat l shall go knowing that l have
lone my full duty wherever it NAV he.
L seems a shame that such a beauti-
ul country as France should be ruin
I'd by such a beast as the dirty bocbe +
Press. c
Corporal Noel was an automatic
life expert in charge of a picked V
quad Of automatic rihemen from his
and was leading his men i'm +
ne heaviest fighting on the day when a
e was killed. His regiment. togeth-
r with the 10th and 111th Infantry s

DEATH TRAP NEAR GLENDALE.

At the point where the DUPONT
Boulevard and the Queen Anne Rail-
road cross each other about half-mile
west from Glendale, there are condi-
tions which will result in an accident
and possibly loss of life, simply be-
cause there is no warning sign that
railroad crossing is at hand, on
either the boulevard or the railroad
property. At least there must be
large warning signs to look out for
trains for the automobile drivers to
see without effort, and a bell ringing |
on the part of the railroad company |
should give warning of the approach /
of a train from either direction, to
travellers on this important highway.
Last Sunday, as the automobile own
ed by the Milford Chronicle Publish
ing Company, in which were Colonel
Theo. Townsend, Thomas c. Rey-
nolds, G. Marshall Townsend and r.
Buchborn was approaching this cross
ing, they slowed down to almost a !
stop and looked up and down the rail
road as far as they could see; but the ',
woods at the west side of the boule- v
ward and along the south side of the
railroad prevented them from seeing d
l train which was going east at 12.4O,
loon, and the machine was started 4
Onward to cross the railroad, when h

whistle, then about 100 yards from d,
