Soldiers Want To Be Farmers

More than two hundred returned SOL
diers, citizens of Delaware, have in
formed the Reclamation Service of the
Department of the Interior, at Will
mington, that they desire to return to
the land. These are asking for specific
information concerning the Mondell
bill which makes provision for the re-
elamation of waste 1and and it's sale
on easy terms to the soldiers. The
bill provides for a substantial advance
in money so thai the boys can equip
themselves for working the land.
Among the Delaware boys who want
to go back to the and are at least ten
commissioned officers who saw service
over the seas. Many of the boys have
never been on land, but they tell the Re-
clamation Service that they are willing
to learn all about farming and promise,
if given an opportunity to make good.
Some of the young men trying to get
to the land occupy lucrative positions
in industrial plants at Wilmington and
other cities. but they say they believe
agriculture offers more permanent &C.
cupation and, in the end, better results
generally. Besides they want above all
things to rise to the dignity of. landed
proprietors.
81 have a good job" a young man
connected with a Wilmington plant
said in a recent communication to the
Reclamation Service, 'but there is no
certainty that 1 will always have 1t.
Anyway, I want to be a landed proprl-
etor and be my own boss. If can
have a few hogs, a few.dozen chickens
and a. few acres of land under cultiva-
ton. | will be as Independent as Rookie
Teller. 1t is the kind of a life for me"
Secretary Lane said this letter was
characteristic of many which reach the
Reclamation Service of the Department
of the Interior.
AIt breathes B. real American spirit
said Secretary Lane. IF we can get
the boys on the farm n let them have
for their very own a little patch OF
Mother Earth. there need be no rear
that the country will be turned over to
the Bolshevists."

OVER THE RIVER
Favor Daylight Saving

According to Street Commissions
Frank P. Pierson, of Wilmington, who
has made a canvass of leading business
men, physicians, industrial heads and
labor leaders, he asserts nearly all of
them are heartily in favor of day
light saving"
The only opposition. he says. which
has arisen is due to the alleged con-
fusion it's enactment would ~precipitate.
Personally ne is inclined to the opinion
that its defeat would ave a much more
confusing effect han it's passage, bas-
ing this contention on the adoption OF
similar ordinances by New York, Phila-
delphia, Boston, Baltimore, Pittsburg
and Cleveland.
Marcus Marks, of New York, head of
the National Daylight Saving Associa-
ton attended the public hearing called
by Wilmington City Council on Thurs
day evening. He pointed out the az
vantages of the daylight law for mum
cipalities. Citizens who benefited by
war gardens, twilight amusements and
an extra period of outdoor recreation
are requested to come forward and say
whether they prefer a repetition OF
these advantages next summer or a re-
version to the old system.

Thrift Prizes For Letter Carriers

Any impression that the thrift
movement ended with the floating of
the Victory Liberty Loan is a mis-
taken one. The government is still
actively promoting the Savings habit,
not merely for the raising Of funds,
but primarily for the benefit Of the
people at large.
Handsome medals have been pro.
vided by the Savings Division Of the
Philadelphia Federal Reserve District
for award to three rural delivery car,
riers in each county who make the
best government thrift sales records.
The competition is for the purpose
Of increasing public interest in Thrift
and Savings Stamps and the new
Treasury Savings Certificates which
are offered by the government as alb.
solutely safe and sure investments.
National savings are relied upon tc
furnish the capital with which to fl.
nance the great industrial expansion
necessary to insure continued pros.
/ perity in the United States. Thrift
and Savings Stamps and Treasury
Savings Certificates furnish an easy
method of saving in amounts of &c
cents, SIS, 500 and $1,000. Their full
value and interest is guaranteed and
they may be redeemed upon ten days
notice.

Bay Ferry For Auto Tourists

Before the opening of the seaso of
1920 New Jersey will have a magnif-
cent concrete boulevard thirteen miles
long, from Cape May Court House, the
County seat, to Cape May City.
The New Jersey Legislature will
ake up the problem of connecting the
boulevard with the DUPONT Highway,
and the new state-long highway system
of Delaware by ferry.
Such a ferry may be advocated to
connect Cape May and Lewes, Del,
which would enable motorists to tour
to Southern New Jersey over splendid
roads and then ferry across the Della
ware Bay to Lewes and pass up thru
Delaware on the eastern shore of
MARYLAND to Wilmington or Philadel-
phia, where there are ferries across to
New Jersey.

New Skin Leather

An interesting lecture on November
21st. at a meeting of the Society of
Chemical Industry, Prof. Allen Rogers
described this new industry. An at
tempt is being made to introduce shark
meat as a food. An estimated catch OF
rs, 900. 900 pounds of meat worth ST.
50o 000 is predicted. Oil obtained from
the sharks jaw is worth $4,000 per gal.
The liver which constitutes 3 to 24To
of the sharks weight, is a source of
oil. The carcass is at present dried
and used for fertilizer.

Small is the work that you have done.

pended the work so that they may

has for one Of it's immediate objects
the employment Of a great amount
of American capital in England.
For this surely Is in some measure a
practical response to the appeals Of
men like Mr.. Hoover, Mr.. Vandcrlip
and Mr.. Warburg, who from their
close observations Of conditions in
Europe are earnestly urging the
need for American help. If the an
nounced plans are carried out, Amer
lean aid is to be given in the produc-
tion Of British films in British stu
dios by British talent for the Brit
ish. incidentally, this gives us a
better realization Of the tremendous
Industrial import Of what most Of US
have been taking for granted merely
as for our amusement. The inter
national rapprochement in pictures
will be interesting to watch.

Righteous Indignation
Editor of The Tribune

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Last Friday morning a much
anticipated enjoyment was ruined for
two people. refer to the lecture
given at Carnegie Hall by Sir Johnston
on Hamlet: On and
OFF the Stage" From the time that
he appeared on the platform we were
distracted by the continual coming of
late arrivals, cropping around for their
seats. Oftentimcs the speaker was
obliged to stand in silence waiting for
the confusion to subside. We were
not even spared during his exquisite
rendition of Hamlet's soliloquy.
Making our way out of the hall at
the close Of the lecture, filled with
our own disappointment and indigna-
ton, we overheard woman express
herself thus: 81 have listened to this
same lecture before. 1t was a level
and was thrilled by it. To-day it
was ruined by the disturbances made
by the late comers."
When the American people have
such rare treat as an opportunity to
listen to an artist like Forbes Robert
son, can it not be arranged so that
the speaker receives courteous re-
spect and attention? T. II. L.

New-York tribune., 1919-12-12

fight to Switzerland. He now
energies from a period of silence
with an interview published in the
Berlin Lokal-Amxeiger, declaring,
among other things, that "King
Charles has never abdicated" and
that he "still regards himself as the
constitutionally crowned ruler Of the
lands of the crown Of St. Stephen"
A Prague dispatch credits the prince
with the statement that the restora-
ton of the Hapsburg monarchy is
"a matter Of machine guns only"
and that the Allies are utterly pow
erless to prevent this outcome"
In these circumstances the an
nouncement that the Supreme Coun-
Gil has summoned the Magyar
peace delegation can be explained
only by a desire of the Allies to be
done with the whole sorry business
and their disinclination to assume
further responsibilities. Thus the
democratic elements in Hungary,
weakened by four months of counter
revolution, will be left to shift for
themselves; and, although, from
their viewpoint, any definite settle
ment is preferable to the present un-
certainty, the least that can be said
is that the prospects of democracy
are none too bright in the new Hun
garian state.
New-York tribune., 1919-12-12
Film Internationalisrn

British films for the British" is
the keynote Of an intensive move
ment to stimulate production Of mo-
ton pictures in England. Within
the last few weeks company after
company has been formed, including
some Of the most prominent men in
British industry, to venture into this
most lucrative field.
Waking up to q realization that
from 80 to 80 per cent of all pictures
exhibited in the kingdom are Of
American manufacture, a healthy
spirit is being shown in commend
ably ambitious projects to secure not
only the home markets, but those Of
the rest of Europe and even of the
United States. Every week brings
to New York from over the water
representatives Of motion picture
capital to study methods Of produc-
Mon and distribution both here and
in California; and there is no dis
position among them to spend time
lamenting that Great Britain for
five years has been at a great disad-
vantage in competition because Of
her preoccupation in a business Of
life and death.
1t is frankly acknowledged that
American films have won their place
because of their unquestioned su-
periority, and while there are few
in England who apparently would
nurture the home industry by shut
ting out all foreign films, it is gen.
orally conceded that if the British
hope for success they must produce
pictures at least as good as the best
of the American creations. A pro-
posal to exclude for six months films
made in the United States does not
seem to be taken seriously; it is
pointed out that the result would be
to make confusion worse confounded
by the inevitable dumping of Ameri-
can pictures when the embargo
should be raised.
1t is interesting to learn that the
announced cooperation Of the du
Points and other substantial indus
trial interests with one Of the big
motion picture producers
