DeInarUia Press
THAT PARKING PROPOSITION.

From the Dover State News.
II seems TO us that the suggestion
made recently to the effect that auto
mobilists visiting Dover on Saturday
nights should park their machines
around the Dover Green, to relieve the
ever-increaslng congestion on our main
streets that night, has created a lot
Of unnecessary discussion among some
Of our citizens. While we do not know
how or where the suggestion originated
we can see nothing radically or revolu-
tionary about IL, nor can we see the
necessity for calling upon Town Coun-
cil TO take any action in the matter.
The streets around the Dover Green
are public streets-just as much so as
State, Loockermsn, Bradford or any
other streets in Dover, and therefore
any automobile owner who cares to
park his machine there has a perfect
right to do so just as long as he is per-
mitted to park on any OF the other
streets. The Green is not owned by the
residents who own property on the on
posite side Of the street. In fact. un-
less we are greatly mistaken, many au-
tOmobiles now and for some time mast
have been parking their cars on the
State House side of the Green. espec-
tally during public meetings or court
sessions. And surely 1t has not de-
tracted from the dignity Of the grand
old Green of which we are all so proud
THE most surprising thing about the
dissension that has arisen over this
matter is the attitude taken by a writer
Eighty Feet on the
Green, who seems to think that the
plan suggest is to make the beautiful
Green a "catch-all back yard" for what
ever LoOckerman street merchants find
legalized public dump
ing ground for the overflow Of Loock-
erman street." What a pitiful, narrow
view to takel There was nothing in the
original suggestion to offer the slight
est excuse for making such a charge.
The plan was not to make the Green a
dumping ground for rubbish" or OBJ
jeotfonable" automobiles, but simply to
let the farmers who come TO Dover with
their families on Saturday night find
room TO perk their machines without
getting jammed in so thickly on one
street that 1t is almost impossible to
get out, and also 10 eliminate some OF
the danger Of trafflc on such a thickly
street.

The U-Boaf Campaign in Germany
(From the New York sum

10 Is apparent from the numerous ex-
plantations and defences OF the U-boat
campaign prepared and circulated in
Germany that the imperial authorities
are having a difficult time convincing
the people that Il is worth what II cost
Its first and principal effect was to
align Germany against United States
and all the other neutral nations which
took our view Of submarine ruthlessness
This has already produced naval and
military results Of supreme consequence
which TeutOnic authorities may belittle
to encourage the populations Of their
countries. but which are not going TO

staffs, n they are now
Several Of the nations which Ger
many forced into the war last year
have not yet made considerable mill
tary contributions against her, but this
does not mean that they have not done
the Teutons injury or will not do them
injury in the future. We may be sure
that German and Austrian manufactur-
ers and merchants realize what the de-
structlon Of their enterprises in for
eign countries means at present, and
what the less Of friendship of weak ma
tlOns will mean I'm the future. II year
ago, or two years ago, they hoped for a
victory that would enable them pract-
ically 10 shoot their goods into foreign

that no such situation can be brought
about. Instead Of forcing alien peo-
