Not only English freedom, French freedom is at
stake. Our own cherished institutions, our free
government, all that our fathers fought for, all
that free people prize, is threatened by an enemy
that would impose his own hateful Kultur on every
free institution in every liberty-loving land.
That is why the war must be fought on European
soil. We are fighting in Europe now that.we may
not have to fight in America, on the very thresh-
olds of our own homes later.

We are fighting for the safety and liberty of our
children, our homes, our country. No price is too
great to pay for Victory.

ships and arpanes, the enormous quantities ofevery
sort of supplies that they must have to defeat the
Prussian armies and drive them back across the

THAT THE QUESTION Of securing
teachers for the public schools has
become a serious matter, there has
been no dispute, and the increasing
number of designations from the posi-
tions now filed by capable men and
women, is causing anxiety among
those who are in touch with the pub
lie schools. In Maryland they are ex-
periencing the same trouble, and it is
now impossible to get teachers who
are qualified to teach the public
schools. One of the main reasons for
this is, the low rate of pay, in compar-
ison with the money educated folks
can get from business positions. The
minimum rate Of $45 per month is no
attraction to an educated woman or
man, even if it were for the full year,
instead of for seven months. In com
menting upon the situation in the
Maryland schools, the Laurel Register
has this to say: do you want your
children placed in the hands Of some
inexperienced and inefficient teacher,
or to have your school closed for lack
Of a teacher? Then get together for
better pay for those who are now
teaching and don't let the matter of a
few paltry dollars stand between you
and the education of your children.
You owe it to your boy or girl and the
best is none too good. School teach
ers are the lowest salaried OF all pro-
fessions. and yet there is more ex-
pected of them. They are servants Of
you and yours, working at all times
for the welfare of the youngsters that
are entrusted in their care. They plan
the future Of your child and assist in
making possible what they have
planned. Why should they be under
paid? Think it over" $50 per month
is small enough for a good and cap
able teacher.

WITH THE CONDITIONS existing
At present. it is almost impossible to
do the work necessary TO get the
CHRONICLE printed and in the mail
before Friday morning. and until the
"heatless Monday" order is past the
paper will probably be not delivered
over the Rural Delivery routes until
Saturday Of each week. Between the
cold weather and the orders prohibit
ing work to be done on Mondays, we
are seriously hampered in conducting
the printing business, and even these
are not the only troubles. as glance
at our coal bins will testify. It is only
through the courtesy of friends We
are able to get any coal for power
purposes.

THE DEMOCRATIC PAPERS of
Dover have recently paid fine compli-
ments to both the Secretary of State
and the State Treasurer. for the me-
thods used to conduct their respective
offices, which have been inaugurated
under their administration, and they
have not printed a word beyond the
truth. and it is a just tribute towards
competent discharge Of public duties.
That the writer's have the fairness to
admit true worth and business ability
in Republican officials. is a sign of
better day in political affairs We
have not made any mistake in this
matter, for we well know that with
this just recognition of capable pub
lie service, these editors and writer's
are radical democratic party follow
ers. and later on in the campaign. will
be aligned with the party of their
choice, regardless of their present ex-
pressed opinions, or the nominees
which may be working for the various
positions. Both the Secretary of State
and the State Treasurer are worthy
Of all the praise which they receive
from democratic or republican
sources; but, in the case of Secretary
OF State Everett Johnson, it was only
to be expected that he would fill the
Office with dignity and ability. because
he is one of the leading publishers Of
Delaware.
