SEWING UP TIE Hun.

r, RESIDENT WILSON arrived In Paris TO lnd that the
i Peace confcrees had accomplished toward
perfectng the treaty OF peace during his three weeks
absence than they able TO do Of his
CANT interference during the nearly two months and
half OF his first visit.
1t is understood that he opposed money ndemnities
That Germany shall pay them practically agreed
upon in Mr. Wilson's absence the question remain
Ing as to the amount.
Reports received n this country just prior 10 Mr.
Wilson's arrival In France show that Germany will lose
10000 square miles Of territory and upwards Of 100000
Of people, while the Rhensh Republic Is to be set up
the left bank OF the Rhine buffer State between
Germany and the French and Belgian Industrial districts
More important s, Germany Is to lose the great iron
deposits OF Lorraine and the coal districts Of the Saar
which means enormous reduction Of her economic
resources.
Her army is to be restricted to constabulary
OF 100000 men subject 10 twelve years enlistment, so
that she will be unable to build up huge military
chine as she did In the days Of Napoleon who reduced
her army below the danger point, but through system
OF short enlisments Germany was able 10 train huge
body Of men.
Fooh has demanded and will receive the great part
OF her merchant marine. for the temporary use OF the
Allies. at least
She has been compelled 10 surrender her heavy ar
tlery and instruments Of war; and every bridge-head
on the Rhine is strongly guarded by Allied troops.
Germany may threaten, intrigue, and whine but the
Allies In the course OF Mr. Wilson'S hylnS "Trip 10 the
country Of which he Is President have taken the Hun
firmly by the scrun Of the neck and there no danser
from Germany by way OF armed hostltles although her
propasandlsm still 1ourshes.
Mr. Wilson will have to recognize the terms which
have been imposed upon Germany by the Allies, whether
not he approves them
Inasmuch as The amount OF money indemnity from the
Central has not yet been definitely xed he may
be able 10 abate the sum- and already the measer
poris we receive indicate that no indemnities will be
asked OF Germany on behalf Of the United States
But the fact remains that the representatives Of the
Allies at the peace conference performed some heroic
service in the absence Of Mr. Wilson, and II now seems
pretty certain that Germany not going TO get off scot
free as was feared last January.

Rail Earnings Wiped Out
(From the New York sun

was down some sl9,0Oo,ooo.
TO pay the guarantee Of the rail-
roads the Government needs some $50
100000 a month. II iu the most favor
able January for operating that rail-
roadlng ever knew the roads did not
come within s60,OO0c00 Of earning the
guarantee. what chance on earth have
they to earn II under Government oper-
alton when conditions are unfavorable
fer operation? Costs, nothing but costs,
under Government operation. SPEND
/ ings, nothing but spendlngs, under Gov
ernment operation-thats the record.
The January deficiency indicates that
the Government this year will be up
ward of three-quarters Of billion OF
dollars short OF necessary earnings to
pay the guarantee. II we assume that
even the best sort Of January is not
a fair comparison TO establish month
ly average for the whole year Is there
any possible way of figuring out that
/ the Government can come within a
quarter OF a billion Of dollars Of earn
ing the guarantee which 1t must pay to
the roads? Is there any certainty that
il can come within half billion dollars
Of earning 10?

Hk oNEY makes the mare go in street building and
lVl street -eparing it does in many other things
Without H. work that should be done cannot be done
In short If City Council denies TO the Board Of p-
rsctors Of the Street Sewer Department the money
needed to put down new paving and to repair old paw
Ing responsibility for conditions rests upon the Coun
clmen and not upon the Street and Sewer Directors
From time TO time we have called public attention to
the dsgraceful condition Of the causeway extending from
Market street bridge southwark toward New Castle
We have urged that the important gateway to and
from our city be put in proper condition for travel
In doing so we have felt that we voiced public
demand.
That piece Of roadway is within the city limits
II is the duty Of the street and Sewer Department TO
keep it in repair.
That being true. tho natural question is why
doesn't IL do it?"
The answer is soon forthcoming from that depart
ment. In substance. II is as follows
aThe Directors OF the Street and Sewer Department
ara NOT unmhdfl Of the condition and needs OF this
much-traveled road However, owing to the failure OF
City Council to appropriate any money for street repairs
during this fiscal year. the department is entirely with
out funds to this necessary work The situation Is
very annoying TO the members Of the board As soon
As ahv money is in sight some effort will be made to
put his causeway as well the city streets. In better
condition.
At the beginning Of the fiscal year. last July.
City Council cut the boards appropriation from soOOO
the previous year. to sisiOOO for this year. under the
plea that the board would receive about 100000 from the
abutting paving tax, from which fund the board would
take Of street repairs ETC. To date however not
withstandng there is about $4,000 that fuhd not
dollar has been turned to the Street and Sewer
Department for the work for which 1t intended.
Certain members OF the board favor heroic action the
causeway project It is felt however, that the county
should cooperate with the city. the causeway is
practically county road. Notwithstanding IL is within
the city limits.
The roadway should be brought up 10 grade
that will not be submerged by tide water In addition
permanent surface should be put IL worthy Of the
traffic that goes it. Repairs have proven to be
only an expensive makeshift."
On the face Of the above. the city oouncilmen ahC
not the Street and Sewer Directors are responsible fol

As it stands today the railway prob
lem is not how the roads are going to
be financed at this juncture, although
the last Congress failed to appropriate
the needed moneys. They can be
financed temporarily and will be by the
Treasury. the banks, the stockholders
OF the roads themselves. When the
new Congress meets, the whole matter
win be attended to promptly and prop
erly. On that side Of the question
there need be no concern whatever.
The problem, the big problem, the
growing problem, Is how the roads un-
der Government operation are going TO
be able TO earn their salt.
Nothing could paint a blacker picture
Of the results OF Government operation
nothing could forecast a more dis
astrous future for Government oper-

January Of this year weather conditions
were ideal, almost miraculously favor

the whole story Of American railroads
there never was another winter In
which il was so easy to keep trains

AGRICuLrURAL CLASSES.

From the Dover State News.
II Is reported that the Friday night
classes in agriculture at the Dover
Public School are becoming more p0pu-
lar and that the attendance Is increas-
ing. This is no to be wondered. These
classes should be Of vast henent to the
young people OF the community, espe-
clally those who expect to make their
future living at agricultural pursuits.
Practical subjects in the field Of agrl-
culture are taught at these classes, the
subject OF mixing commercial fertilizer
for use for various crops on the farm
being considered at this time. Profess
sor Schantz should be congratulated for
his good work in establishing these
classes, and the young people Of Dover
and vicinity, especially those from the
rural sections, should show their ap-
probation by attending them regularly.
Only by cooperation and continued in
