though the war is over America must
still conserve food If it is to keep the
pledge to ship 20 OOoO0O tons of food
to Europe this year The stock own
ers of Arkansas can have a great part
in this conservation movement if they
will use every effort to keep their
stock off the tracks.
The response on the part OF the
stock owners and railroads has been
most gratifying. The State Council
has on file thousands Of signed pledges
from stock owners all over the state
who agree to assist in this work. On
their part. the railroads have repaired
and built fences and cattle guards and,
in addition to calling upon their sec
tion foremen and track workers, have,
in some instances, employed watch
men to drive cattle off the tracks in
side of town limits. The work has
been eminently satisfactory. and the
campaign will be continued.

And speaking of road bills The
fever of good roads legislation was
never so intense as it is right now.
The projects are so numerous that it
is difficult to keep up with them. No
longer is it a matter of thousands of
dollars, but millions of dollars is nov
involved in the various projects. Pu-
laski county alone has a project that
will mean the expenditure of about
thirty million dollars. That's lots of
money but see what fine roads it will
build! Probably one hundred million
dollars is not too high an estimate for
the cost of the various projects that
are under consideration. Under act
of Congress. millions of dollars will
come into the state from the Federal
Government to assist in the building
of the roads. If all the schemes are
realized, the next ten years will see

Thousands Of letters were written

woud be highly improper for the Public Utilities
i Commission Of this city to resort to snap Judgment
in the matter OF deciding whether the Wilmington and

lloyd George VIII Speak
for the British Empire
From the New York sun.

that their empire should retain its I'M
questioned ascendency on all the
oceans.
They intrenched six imperial British
votes in the Assembly Of the League OF
Nations against one vote for each OF
the other nations enrolled in that body.
They took OF the colonial possessions
what they thought their empire could
probably use.
They gave accent TO a description OF
the MOnrde Doctrine which misrepre-
sents the American policy beyond the
recognition of American statesmen. and
then announced that when the propOs-
ed covenant became operative, the
League OF Nations would interpret that
doctrine.
The covenant OF The League of Ma
lions King George has accepted and
President Wilson demands the United
states shall accept provides as in
genlously as human foresight can pro-
vide for the protection OF the British
Empire in IT'S territorial possessions
wherever they may be situated. The
covenant is an insurance policy for the
British Empire, and the statesmen OF
that Power have not neglected as too
many holders OF insurance do, TO read
all the conditions Of the contract in
corporaied in IT,
In consequence OF these considera-
lions the British Premier wants the
treaty ratified here as It has been in
his own country He wants the insur-
ance underwrltten by us particularly,
by all the world generally.
Neither Lloyd George nor any other
loyal Britisher should be blamed for
wanting us to subscribe 10 the terms
OF the covenant OF the League Of Ma
lions. lie believes, we have no doubt,
that what serves the British Empire
well viii serve The world we'll: that a
guaranty Of British imperial peace
and sOiidity amounts TO a guaranty OF
world peace. solidity and prosperity.
But the honesty and sincerity OF Lloyd
George and other British statesmen in
this opinion is not an argument TO be
received blindly by Americans. how
ever fevent may be its proclamation
or plausible the reasons advanced to
uphold it.
As the plenipolentiaries OF the Brit
ish Empire safeguarded its interests
and protected It's national designs at
Paris. so the Senate OF she United
states must safeguard American indie
pendence now. Where President VIII
son fails The Senators must succeed.

seracy that the public should insist upon having settled
II the reports have been sent Washington copies Of
such important documents should be file among the
papers OF Board Of Education and they should be

There has been much laxity with respect to many

As TO STAR CHAMBER BUSINESS.

T viii be wise for the New Castle County Levy Court
abandon its policy OF holding siar-chamber ses-
sons such as was the held yesterday.
The Levy Court is a public body.
The levy Court Commissioners public officials.
The money they spend is public money.
The work they do is public work
The iaxpaylng public has right TO hear what said
and to know what is done.
n the commissioners desire to enveop the Levy Court
an atmosphere OF public suspicion and themselves in
an atmosphere Of public unpopularty, they attain
those ends quickly than by continuance OF the
sarchamber policy Of conducting the public business.

What is the cause lying behind this
demonstration Of British energy in IA
yor OF the covenant Of the League Of

II cannot lie in a British domestic
situation affecting adherence to the

pact was approved, King George "ac-

ony OF FIJI has not yet been recorded,
but despite ths, the British Empire
may fairly be said to have confirmed
and bound Itself TO the acts OF It's plen-
ipotentiaries at the Paris Conference.

Britain for the explanation OF Lloyd

The covenant as 10 now exists suits
