Democratic lawyer or Republican
lawyer shall be appointed United States
District Court judge. But it does matter
to the people Of Delaware, that some law
yer should be given the appointment, so
that the business of the court may be con-
Quoted with order, regularity and dis
patch
And so we may say that the people of
Delaware call upon Senators Salisbury
and Wolcott to come TO an agreement in
respect of this important Federal APP
pointment.

Criticisms on MIR. White.

Much adverse criticism has been IN
dulged IN by partisan Republican papers
about President Wilson's selection OF
himself. OF course, at frst-of delegates 10
the Peace Conference at Versailles. And
much OF the criticism has been directed
against the selection of Mr. Henry White,
the Republican member of the commls-
SION. all the other members, except Cen
eral Bhss-whose political affiliations,
like those Of most able soldiers, are un-
known to the general pubhc-are allied
with the President polit cal party
But investigation proves that the cha4-
Ienge Of the propriety of MIR Whites
selection Is without ground. He has had
many years of actual service IN diplomatic
positions at various foreign capitals He
found favor with President Mckinley
who gave him foreign appointment,
President Roosevelt appointed him Am
bassador to Italy and later to France
President Taft continued him IN he diplo-
matte service OF our country
What reason Il there 10 cHlcSe the
selection of Mr. White by President Vii
son for his present important mission?
He IS experienced and capable. The only
reason for objection is that men Like
Roosevelt. who believe they are always
the highly anointed' for emergencies
like the present, believe they should have
been called upon.
But Just imagine q man like Roosevelt
around the peace council table that is soon
10 sit at Versailles. Well, the imagina-
tion stops right there.

Jacksonville, Fla, Nov. 4, 1918.
Secretary McAdoo has received the
following cablegram from General
Pershing:
THE soldiers of the American Ex-
peditionary Forces are deeply inter-
ested in the campaign for economy
and avoidance of waste carried on in
the United States. You and those
serving under you will doubtless be
interested in the similar work being
done on the battlefields of France and
the areas back of the battle line.
The salvage service, something en-
tirely new In our army, was started
last January, There are already sew
eral salvage plants in operation and
more are being organized. The activ-
tiles Of the salvage corps operating
them extend from the front lines back
through the training corps and lines
o. communication to every base port.
All worn or damaged articles Of what
ever nature are collected and convert
ed into useful supplies or used IN the
repair OF other articles. Even empty
tin cans are collected and the tin and
solder salvaged.
The salvage service is effecting d
saving to the government consider
ably in excess of 100000 each day.
But the saving in money while OF
great importance is not the vital part
CT the work. We are saving material
imperatively needed at the front, ma
terial that no expenditure Of money
can Immediately replace, We are d.
rectly saving ocean tonnage which is
seriously needed, every week ildirct-
ly releasing labor for service in the
shipyards, on the railroads and in
other essential industries In the Unit

State Wide Prohibition Won
Out In Election Yesterday;
Teachers To Be Paid More;
Ra,t Elected In Duval

Jacksonville, Nov. 6.--By an EN-
phatic vote, Florida will become a
"dry" State on January LIST, the con
stitutional amendment prohibiting the
manufacture or sale Of liquor within
this State after that date, having car
ried yesterday by a heavy majority.
So far as is known, every county In
the State gave a majority for the
amendment. The vote is decisive and
gives no ground for any question as
to the desire Of the people to rid the
State Of booze.
While not so decisive, the vote for
the ten-mill tax amendment is SUN
ciently large to insure Its safe pass
age. In twenty-five counties there
were elections on the proposition OF
compulsory cattle dipping, and It IL
believed that in all these the people
went on record as favoring this pro-
gressive movement.
The election was marked with lit
tie interest throughout the State, and
only light vote was gotten out.
There were no contests for State or
district offices, the nominees Of the
June primary being elected without
opposition.
A surprise to many was sprung by
Duval county where John W. Rast
was elected tax collector after having
been removed from Office by Gov.
Cats for an alleged shortage in his
accounts of $144,000. Cats appoint
ed his son-in-law, X. r. Paderick, to
the place temporarily and Paderick,
D. H. Mayfleld and Rast we're candi-
dates yesterday. Rast received as
many votes as both his opponents.

THRILLING DRIVE OF sLOvAKs

Vladivostock, Nov 5.--General
Gaida's Czecho-Slovaks fighting their
way through 1900 miles Of hostile
territory furnishes tale no less
thrilling than that related Of Cortez
drive from Vera Cruz to the ancient
Aztec capital in the sixteenth CEN
tury. Like his illustrious predeces-
sor, he saw his forces grow as his
successes multiplied, but his success
es, like those of the adventurous
Spaniard, were due to his unfiagging
courage and ingenious tactics and to
the loyalty Of his men.
When the order came from Petro-
grad countermanding the permission
given for the free movement of the
Czecho. .Slovaks toward Vladivostol,
1t found them strung out in thin
line from the Volga to Vladivostok.
A IL day truce, following the first
serious clash at Irkutsk when the
Bolsheviki undestook to disarm a
trainload of Czechs, applied only TO
Eastern Siberia and was utilized by
Gaida's men to get a running start
for the plunge through the thickest
of the struggle. Thereafter his pol
icy appears to have been to constant.
ly prepare and execute some new sur
prise until the enemy was in such
state of nerves that the approach
of body of Czecho-Slovaks, no mat.
ter how small, was likely to throw
him into a panic.
Assisted by Cossacks and by Czechs
from Chiliabinsk, Colonel Kadlets,
then commander OF the Czech forces
west OF Irkutsk, fought his way west
to Omsk, taking towns enroute. He

tic to clean up the line westward to
the Urals.
Meantime, with resumption Of hos.
tilities to the eastward the Czech
Slovak forces between Kransnoyarsk
and Irkutsk found themselves hard
pressed and near to the end of their
resources. Kadlets doubled back
eastward and by a series Of flanking
movements, falling upon the Bolshe-
Wiki in the night, stampeded them
time after time. In this way he
pushed through to the relief Of his
countrymen at Krasnoyarsk and
Irkutsk.
From Irkutsk to the southernmost
point of Lake Baikal there are forty
one tunnels. 1t was the Czechs' aim
to clear out the Bolsheviki without
giving them time to blow up these
tunnels and to that end they started
la small contingent overland to sur

ries Of tunnels. These men marched
four days under greatest difficulties.
They became SO. pressed for food
supplies that they had to eat their
horses. But they accomplished their
object. They attacked the Bolshe-
Wiki in the middle of the night, cap
tured their machine guns and started
them northward in disorder. The
Bolsheviki succeeded in blowing up
one tunnel. the last one in the series.
The Czechs and their Russian al
lies now had clear track to the
southern extremity Of the lake, to a
village named Slujianka, where the
blocked tunnel presented serious
obstacle to further progress. They
dragged a few light guns over the
ridge. and marched several contin-
gents Of troops around the obstruc-
ton only to find the Bolsheviki
massed in force some twenty miles
beyond. The Czechs and Russians
suffered heavy losses In the fighting
here and were forced back to within
few miles of the tunnel.
Meantime the Czechs had cleared
the tunnel sufficiently to pass troops
through, on foot. General Gaida, who
had succeeded Colonel Kadlets In
command, caused decoy messages to
fall nto the enemy's hands, begging
for help and declaring that the tun-
mel was hopelessly blocked and he in
desperate straits, surrounded and at
the end of his resources. The Boil
sheviki there upon moved southwark
in high spirits, throwing aside all eau
tion. Bands played and their pro-
gress was In the nature of triumph

A few miles from the tunnel they
ran into an ambush which completely
demoralized them. Machine guns
raked them from the hillsides and
field guns shelled them front and
rear. A tattered remnan of the Boil
shevik army fled northward with the
few trains they were able to save.
