LLOYD GEORGES APPEAL.

Llovd George s message to the American
people which was delivered hy Lord
Reading at the l.otos Club dinner, We'd
nesdav night. was not q cry Of desperation,
as some Americans seem to think.
The British Prime Minister asked fot
men and ships, end SAID that 1T Is I'm
possible 10 exagg, rate the Importance o:
getting American reInforccments across
the Atlantic in the shortest possible
spaC, of time. hut this docs not mean
that the battle on tho western front Is
lost unless tho United States government
can devise miraculous means Of rushing
hundreds Of thousands Of troops across the
ocean at once.
What Ilovd George is obviously think
ing Of is not the present bat the immediate
future. The British are holding their
lines. but they Will have TO throw in
their reserves. md when thus titanic
battle is over the question Of man-powcr
Will be acute in Great Britain. The
combing-out process cannot hC carried
much further without crlppllng essential
industries. Already demand has begun
for consumption IN Ireland. and this
presents political difficulties which the
government is not prepared 10 face.
The new reserves must come mainly
from the United States. We must make
good the losses sustained by the British
and French in resisting the German drive
and add as much more 10 the balance as
We are capable Of dong. THIS necesSi
tates ships. first Of al. and then mo-e
ships. Il necessitatcs also the closest
cooperation between the American Brit
ish and French governments tn prevent
the wastagc Of cargo space in the trans
portation Of non essentials. II Is ia
complicated problem, which can be solved
only by practical intelligence and hard
work 1t certainly cannot be solved by
the kind Of people who are forever wiring
ing their hands and crying For God :
sake, do something Godsakng will
not drive a single rivet in a ship or trans
port a solitary soldier across the Atlantic

Significance of Easter.

The observance of Faster, tomorrow,
has especial significance this year
With half the civilized world AT war, the
Easter thought typihes the disappearance
OF the dark clouds in this important
epoch in Biblical history, being an oc-
casion for glorifcation because of this
fact 1t has the effect Of dispclling gloom,
and how wonderful il would he il il could
also dispcl the gloom Of this war-riddcn
world
But unfortunately, this cannot he at
this time The murdcrous Hun is any
thing but sentimental Easter means
no more Ia him than the darkest day in
history He is out to Kill, pillagc and
administer the most brutal suffering
upon dcfrnccleSs women and children rs
long as he has the strength and the OPP
portunitv. II matters not 10 him that
this is Easter time, when all should be
happy that the dark clouds have rolled
away. All that matters is his greedy
and barharous self. He wants the world
for his own ulterior purposes, but civiliza-
tion has served notice on him that he IS
not going to have il, and may Faster
serve to emphasize the fact that every
dark cloud has its silver lining, and let
lis hope that this silver lining is within

THE ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

Director-General McAd0o first official
act under the new railroad bill was the
issuance OF an order restricting the capital
expenditures OF all roads 10 extensions
and betterments absolutely essential under
war conditions. il Is part Of the govern
ment's program to center attention on
activities helpful 10 the nations purpose
IN the war, and to discourage those in no
way connected with that purpose II is
precisely the policy the government might
be expected TO urge upon the railroads
ha d they not been taken over in the
national interest.
Congress has decreed that the govern
ment shall continue to operate the roads
under private ownership for u months
after the coming of peace Until them
the government will continue the master
of transportation without owning the
physical property involved This will
be period of observation. The country
will be making up It's mind as TO what
it desires the national attitude toward
the railroads to be as permanent policy
Whatever be their future, their present
task is TO help win the war. All the
money required TO fit them for this task
will be forthcoming, but Mr. McAdoo
makes it plain that none Is to he wasted

PRESS COMMENT.
GOOD FRIDAY, 1918.

Never since the observance of the

tuted has Christendom entered on the

grated the crucifixion of Christ with more
urgent cause for rigorous Denomination

The brotherhood of man is n real and
potent factor in the life of men and
women and nations today Under the
menace of common danger the human
understanding picrces the cloud banks OF
misunderstanding and ignorance that In
days of comfortable safety restrict the

The intellectual atmosphere is clarified

States Defence Program.

Assuming that the State Council %
Defence, authorized under the bill which
passed the Legislature Thursday, wal
confinc itself within the limitations OF
the national defence program, as au-
thorized bv this act, IT Is the duty OF
every. loyal citizen to cooperate with the
board IN every move IT makes tor the
public good. Regardless of what our
feelings and misgivingS might have been
In the formation of this measurC-In
fact. it is very doubtful whether 1t was
necessary, in view Of the broad powers
conferred upon the governor by the last
Legislature. in the matter of defence
we must accept the act at its face value
and tho assurance that the authority
gwen the council Will not be abused to
the dctrimcnt Of any Of our people. and
unless there is abuse ii is our duty 10
not only submit 20 the law without com
plant. but to and in its enforcement.
The chief purpose Of the act, VIC are
told. is 10 make II possible TO compel
every idler in the prime Of life 10 work,
and 50 far rs that goes, there should bc
no complaint Therefore, the officers who
will nc expected 10 see that this feature
IL the law is enforced should not he handi-
capped in any legitimate and reasonable
efforts they make IN that behalf. hut
rather they should he helped. No doubt
much manpower has been gong to waste
because of lazinesS. and IS we need all
the manpower We can Get, 10 obtain the
maximum results from our farms and
from our industries, the very fact that
the law compels all who can work 10 do
so should be sufficient Even the idlerS
ought to be patriotic enough not 70 be
forced to do their bit; therefore drastic
measures should he the rare exception
and then only when there is deliberate
defiance of the law or dishonest efforts
at evasion.
As the act was passed, it places the
primary responsibility on Governor Town
send. and. IN selecting the council he
doubtless has a full realization Of this
responsibility. which can be safeguarded
only when the enforcement OF the law
is placed in thoroughly responsible hands
Some of the opponents OF the bill OK
pressed the fear that II might be fraught
with possibilities for political manipnla-
ton. while It's friends denied that there
was any such thought Let us hope that
nobody connected with the enforcement
Will so far forget himself as TO allow po-
litical considerations 10 get the slightest
foothold

sfopor the Young Patriots.

More of our boys will leave next Mon
day for the United States Army training
camp at Wrightstown, N. j., 3OS from
Delaware being directed to go to Camp
Dix on that day. The government has
asked for them and has made provision
for them there; they have passed the
necessary examinations and everything
is in readiness for them to go, So when
they leave on Monday let the people of
Delaware show, through a patriotic
demonstration, that they appreciate the
sacrifice these boys are making and that
every Delawarean is back of them. IL
cheers these young patriots to know that
the home folks are going TO keep them
in mind
This is also a reminder of one very
important duty we have in helping along
with the necessary provision for the MAIN
tcnance and comfort of these boys, and
that is our obligation to share in the
Liberty Loan. The government has done
its part toward making the necessary
camp preparations, but these arrange
ments cannot be carried out without
money. The government has called
upon us--ycs, every one of us-to lend
this money, through the purchase of
Liberty Bonds, the very best form OF
investment there is, and it is bur duty TO
comply with the request.
There is another very important thing
we should not forget, and that is to
constantly cooperate with the Rcd
Cross in its efforts to provide these boys
with the little comforts that the govern
ment cannot give them. In fact, We
must always keep in mind our patriotic
boys at the front and in the environments
and on the ships, so as to give them the
and strength that will enable
hem to do what they know 10 be their
iuty. In the last analysis, they are the
protectors of our homes and therefore

financial support

HOMEMADE ENEMIES.

The Seriousness Of Ncaring's situation

hundreds Of thousands Of Socialists
who hold Meanings views and there are

They should take notice that pressing their
