Use of Soldiers as Guards for
Industrial Plants Is Not
Recommended

A memorandum made public
by the War Department con-
corning the use of armed guards
about industrial pants contains
the following:
''The soldier in training who
has offered his life for the de-
fense Of country should not sac
rifice his effectiveness by per-
forming police duty in the pro-
lection of property behind the
lines. This is the duty of the
citizen at home.
"The theater of operations for
armed soldiers is the battlefields
of Europe. Each civilian should
aid his country by acting as a
guard for the detection and pre-
vention of intrigue, deceit, and
all the familiar stealthy opera
tions of the enemy in our midst.
Each soldier unnecessarily de-
tanned as a guard in this country
aids and abets the enemy in Eu-
rope.
"Often a guard may be need
ed for the safety of a factory
When it is, it sho-iid be supplied
by the owner of the factory, by
the municipality or by the state.
"These measures apply not
only to manufacturing plants,
but are equally applicable to the
shipyards. grain elevators, and
stores of supplies"
The campaign to raise sec
ond S100.000.000 has been an
nounced by the American Red
Cross for the week beginning
May 6. To date nearly S90.000,-
900 has been appropriated for
war relief work.
1t is reported from Germany
that wood is being largely used
in place of celluloid, ivory and
other substances for the manu-
facture of combs. Excellent
toilet articles are made from
thinly cut birch and beech-wood.

Lack of knowledge of Gas De-
fense Fatal to Soldiers

The necessity for thorough
and continuous training of the
troops in gas defense is shown
by a statement proved by cap
tured German documents:
The Germans at a certain po-
sition on the western front knew
the British were planning to de-
liver a gas attack on a German
division equipped with masks,
but poorly trained in their use.
In spite of the fact that they had
several days to drill before con-
ditions were suitable for the
British attack, when it was fin
ally made hundreds of German
casualties resulted.
Many kinds of gases are used
in modern warfare. Some mere
ly affect the eyes temporarily
and are more inconvenient than
serious. Other gases are terri
bic in their effect unless proper
protection is available. They
are employed in clouds, or in
shells, bombs, and hand gren-
AIDES.
1t is the work of the FielC
Training Section of the Gas De
fense Service to bring home tC
the American soldier the import
ance of his gas mask. to thor
oughly drill him in its use, anC
to inspire confidence in its eff
ficacy.

In spite of unsettled condi-
tions, the total American trade
with Russia amounted to S4S3,-
100000 in 1917, decrease of
only $39,000,000, as compared
with 1916. This decrease was
in the trade with Asiatic Russia
and is attributed to congestion
and import restrictions a Vladi-

Representatives, or several OF the
Auildipg trades and contractors of the

vorkmen. The dispute may become
teen. as the workmen insist the in
creased cost of living necessitates a
higher wage, and the contractors aver
that the cost of building already is so
Nth that to add further increases will
almost prohibit building and they will
therefore oppose any increases.
The brick layers, concrete workers,
sheet metal workers, plasterers and
nainters are the trades asking more
nav. The carpenters last April l
signed wage scale of 621a cents an
hour. or s. per day, which binds them
for two years.
Bricklayers and plasterers are each
now getting Is cents an hour, or SC

The concrete workers, now getting

for painters at present is SIS cents
Sheet metal men receive the same. i
is reported they will ask 65 cents, OF
$500 per day. 1t is also understood
that the ironworkers will ask an in
crease to so cents per hour.

nEpUnLIcAN ARGUMENT SUMMARY.

Republicans have supported and win support Presl-
Wilson in every proposal looking to the successful
prosecution Of the and early and conclusive VIC
tory, with the least possible expenditure Of lives and
money.
Every criticism Of the war program. executive
well as legislative that Republicans have uttered and
every proposal they have made affecting the conduct Of
the war; has been inspired by the thought Of saving
men and resources
"Reectson Of Republican proposals urging greater
preparedness for have prolonged the present srug

KENT's ELECTORAL DUTY
From the Dover State Sentinel.

From the Dover State Sentinel
on next Tuesday the citizens Of Kent
County will decide by their votes
which party is to furnish the new
county officials and the county's mem
bers OF the next Legislature. To every
Republican OF the county there comes
responsibility that he cannot ignore.
Every candidate presented for his suf-
frage by the Republican Party had been
regularly nominated under party rules
and each candidate is personally worthy
the support Of every man who cares
for clean, honest government.
The county ticket is an admirable
one. Every man upon il has character
and standing TO back him, and each has
the support Of his party in his home
district. This Of itself is a recommen-
dation that carries weight.
Although the Legislature no longer
elects our United States Senator's. still
upon the Legislative candidates TO lbe
elected will fall grave responsibilities.
and the Republicans Of this county can
not afford to ignore this important
matter. as the best interests Of the
State will be subserved by the cleo
tion Of a Republican Legislature.
Do your full duty, Republicans, and
the results, we are confident, will be
satisfactory.
