PARTIES IN FRANCE

BY Han LANG Huang.
Political parties in China are SINH
lar to those of England aid America
rather than those of continental Eu-
rope Instead of a multiplicity of par
ties, the tendency in China has been
toward the development of two or
three predominant parties. 1t is true
that at one time there was large
number of parties in China, but they
have long been consolidated, and it is
not likely that these large parties,
which have grown up out Of the con-
soldation of the minor parties, will lbe
split up again.
Roughly speaking, there are at
present three parties in China; the
Kuomintang, (Citizens' Party); the
Chinputang Progressive Party); and
the Peiyangpai, GROUP Of North Chi
MAJ. just as in western nations there
are usually all shades of opinion with
in a single party, so it is in China, a
fact which must be borne in mind in
any discussion Of the subject.
The Kuomintang is, in the main, an
outgrowth of the Tongmintang
Q.cague of Sworn Membcrs), or the
reVo!utionist party which was organ
lZed by DR.. Sun Yat-sen and his as
s0ciatcs many years ago. Whatever
may be it's shortcomings, this party
deserves the gratitude of every Chi
nesc, for it was due to the persistent
efforts and courageous work of the
Tongmintang that tn revolution Of
l91 was brought about which sue
cceded in ovcrthrowing the Manchu
regime and created the Republic.
1t will be recalled that before the
Manchu emperor abdicated in Febru-
ID.
was organized in Nankng by the rev.
olutionists. 1t is natural that the rev.
olutionists, or the .Tongmintang,
should have secured practically abso-
lutte control of this Parliament. After
the adbication Of the emperor and the
Inauguration of Yuan Shh-ka as
President of the Republic, the Nan
king Provisional Parliament was
transferred to Peking Meantime, the
Tongmintang had reorganized itself,
changed it's name into Kuomintang,
and enlisted the support of large
number of very important men, among
Tang Shao-yi, WI Ting fang, and G.
II. Wang. Although the party contin-
ued to dominate the parliament, there
grew up, as soon as the seat of gov
ernment was transferred to Peking, a
number of rival, if not antagonistic
parties afterwards responsible for the
deadlock between the Kuomintang and
the supporters Of Yuan Shih-kai The
res lit was that by a high-handed
me lsure Yuan Shih-Kaf expelled all
the Kuomintang members from Pc
king, an act amounting to dismissal of
parliament, for the majority Of it's
members were Kuomintang men.
+ After their dismissal from parlia-
ment, the Kuomintang reverted to
their former activities, which were in
the main revolutionary. They believed
that Yuan Shih-kai would not be true
to the republic and would make him
as subsequent events showed. It's rad
ical members believed that immediate

COLLEGE AM
BULANCE RENDERS
NOTABLE SERVICE
Elicits Tribute from Whining
ton Papers

The Delaware College ambul-
ance, the gift of the Delaware
Chapter of the Daughters of the
american Revolution, has render
ed notable service in the influenza
epidemic i'm Wilmington. The
Evening Journal pays this tribute
TO the students who manned the
ambulance: Health officials YES
uefday took occasion to compliment
the work being dome here by the
brave fellows who are manning the
Delaware College ambulance. The
students have never hesitated
When they have received an order
and have gone to places where
most would have feared to enter"
Mr.. W. G. Brewer of Lewes was
IN Charge of the ambulance and
associated with him were Mr.. C. F.
Denney and H. L. Fell of Whining
tom, and L. L. Cobb of Long
Branch, New Jersey. These men
revealed the true spirit of service
which Delaware College seeks to
inspire.
The Delmarvia Star of Sunday
last continued the following:
The Daughters of the American
Revolution little realized that
when they presented to Delaware
College the ambulance in October,
1917, that in a years time what
wonderful work it would do.
1t has proved itself invaluable
during the present epidenmic.
Hundreds of disease sufferers
were carried i'm it to all the emerg-
ency hospitals. The students Of
the college who made up the crew
worked necessarily day and night
never firing in their efforts.
Among those who assisted with
the ambulance from the student
body were CORTLAND Denny, Har-
vey Fell and a number of others.
One thing that is most interesting
to the public TO know is that as
soon as a case was delivered to the
hospital the ambulance was at
once disinfected and ready again
to carry more patients.
Great praise goes to the ambul-
ance crew, for they handled all
their cases well, and were we'll or
ganized in their WORK.
The Daughters of the American
Revolution feel greatly honored to
think that their gift has proved it.
self so valuable, and that in other
calamities lit will prove as useful.

Registration lighter
than in 1916

Last Saturday was the last day
for registration. The total for this
hundred is considerably less than
in the previous years. This is due
in part perhaps to illness and to
the decreased male population re-
sulting from CONSUMPTION. In the
First district with headquarters at
the Deer Park the total is 344,
while in 1916 it was 400. In the
Second district with the Washing
tom House and the Primary School
as headquarters, the total was BIT
as against 400 two years ago. In
Pencader Hundred the total is 436,
which lis also considerably less
than in 1916.

Sol Wilson is making extensive
improvements to his furnishing
store on Main st. Two bulk WIN
dows are to be constructed, and a
spacious doorway which, accord
ing to this enterprising merchant,
will give the effect of "a real
Chestnut Street front"
Business as usual is going on
within the store, entrance to which
is effected in a unique way
through what was formerly a side
window. To avoid the litter and
delay of cutting a side door, steps
were CON s,tructed within and steps
and landing outside the window,
which with a very little trouble
has been converted into a door.

Again we halt for a space in the
march of life to pay tribute to a
departed friend. The dread
shadow has fallen across our path
way warning us all of the nearness
of Death.
How we all shall miss our dear
friend and neighbor, Mray E.

Hers was a lovable disposition.
She lived a quiet, unassuming lire
never conspicuous in her work
but bringing results that will tell
in the future life into which she
has gone.
She has left us to enter the

are unknown.
How we shall all miss her, but
asnecially her devoted companion
and her children who have the
sympathy of the entire community

To rise upon some fairer shore;
And brighter in Heaven s jeweied
They shine forever more.

Delaware College Alumni
in "Old Hickory News

A recent issue of "Old Hickory
News" a publication issued by
DUPONT employees at Old Hickory
near Nashville, Tenn, contains a
biography of R. H. Palmer, a form
err Wilmingtonian, a graduate of
Wilmington High School and of
Delaware College, class of 1909.
He was member of the Phi Kap-
pa Phi and Sigma NJ fraternities.
Mr.. Palmer is head of the Acid
Division at Old Hickory and "The
News" says with regard to his ap-
pointment:
'When the DUPONT organization
was arranging for the building of
Old Hickory, it was natural that
the best men in it's employ, or who
could be brought into it's employ
were picked as executives and the
heads of the several divisions.
This accounts for the assignment
of Mr.. R. H. Palmer at the head of
the construction division of the
acid area"
A FUN account is given of his
life and of his services with the
dupont Company. "Mr. Palmer"
says the article, "has been identi-
fed with so many of the DUPONT
plants that now every time he is
sent to a new location, he is re-
minded of the song, Where Do
We Go From Here, Boys, Where
Do We Go From Here?'"
The same issue contains an item
stating that J. Brook Jackson, also
a Delaware College alumnus of
the class of 1909, leased the
George Frazer home in Nashville
and will spend the winter there.
Mr.. Jackson married Miss Alice
Frazer of Elkton whose sister,
Miss Emily Frazer, a graduate of
Women's College, 1918, is spend
ing the winter with the jackson
family at Nashville.

DROP BACK AN HOUR
ON OCTOBER 27
Change Takes place at 2 a. m.
next Sunday

The season of daylight saving
will terminate ON the last Sunday
of October, as originally planned
by the law establishing the system
of increasing daylight work and
playhours through turning back
the clock an hour. 1t will not be
continued as proposed in bill in
PRODUCED by Senator Calder.
Senator Calder, after a consulta-
tion with the War Industries
Board recently requested Chair
man Sims of the House Interstate
Commerce Committee to take no
further action in view of the i'm
possibility of obtaining a quorum.
Mr.. Calder had introduced his
bill making the daylight season
continuous following conference
with various, departments, includ-
ing the War Industries Board. All
the great power plants except
Pittsburgh urged the continuance
OF the advanced hour.
The Manufacturers Association
of Wilmington at a meeting Thurs
day entered a protest against the
passage of the bill. They believed
it would be moist prejudicial to the
industrial menage of the city. At
tentlon was called to the fact that
by leaving the summer clock time
unchanged through the winter the
people would be getting up at the
hour when the thermometer and
mans vitality are at the lowest.
The effect of the darkness and
da,mpness ON health lis significant
ly emphasized by eminent physi
clans; also that owing to the war
the working force of the commun-
ity has been largely replaced with
the very young and with females
whose health would suffer.
Local workers who are accus-
TONED to taking the 5.57 train and
others whose work calls them from
bed at 5 or thereabout will ap-
preciate the change and everyone
will lwelcotme the extra hours nap
that will b epossible beginning next
Sunday morning.
Watch and clock makers urge
that the timepieces be set forward
II hours rather than backward one
hour for they claim that turning
the hands backward Injuries the
mechanism.
1t is advised that some member
of the family be appointed to do
the regulating in order to avoid
the experience of one family who
arrived at church an hour ahead
of time last Spring when the
change was made because two
members of the family had each
set the clock forward an hour.
The change goes into effect at
2 a. m. Sunday next and time
pieces may be set forward at bed
time ON Saturday night.
