WHEN HATRED DIES.

LAD with bright eyes and pale cheeks sneaked aboard
"A British freighter at Hamburg and hid himself in
coil of rope in the stoke hole He found after the
vessel at and told the captain that he wanted to
go to his uncle in San Francisco
The boy German, Il years old. He among
English sailors who, Of all men, hated the Hun.
lie a badly frightened youngster, far from home
and farther from san Francisco
The Of the Lake Fray passed the hat and collected
s15 to buy clothes for the youngsters the officers gave d
reotons that he TO have all no wanted TO eat The
captain could talk little German and he made the
stowsway feel at home
Sailors have hearty appetltes but they maryeled at
the exhibition OF boys hunger satisfying itself after
years Of craving
When the Lake Fray arrived at Iul the boys adven-
ture reported TO the authorities Probably he will
be sent back TO Germany
But the sailors and officers want to keep him aboard.
They say the boy viii be broken hearted If he can't sayl
The qeslion is being solemnly asked How much
longer shall hate9 When amicabe relations with
Germany be resumed?'
Commerce will take heed OF sentiment As for the
feeling OF allied people toward the people Of Germany
the Lake Fray incident shows how dilcult it to keep
anmosy alive
TO bring the matter nearer home, think that most
readers will admit that there is community in
our country in which, both during the and since the
war; men, women and children Of German birth and Ger
man blood received consderate treatment than they
did right here in Wilmington.
BY the token. be il said, there is community
In which men. women and children of German birth and
German blood comported themselves, on the average
with greater crcumspection.
There not a riot and. so far we know, no Ger
man by birth or blood who resided in our community
was taken to an internment camp
That shows that both elements ruled by
mon sense.
The result is that now The war is over, no one here
has anything to regret our community was intensely
loyal and at the same time, intensely sensible

Spirits of the
DeIndrUia Press
RING THE JOY BELLsl

From the Dover State News.
The announcement made by the State
Highway Department, which appeared
In its entirety in the Delaware State
News last week, that when the plans
OF that department have been worked
out II will be possible for motorists to
travel from Wilmington to Selbyvllle
or the Maryland line, in three hours, Is
about the best news that has appeared
in the public press In many months.
For several years past. with the Della
ware roads In such deplorable condi-
tions that 10 travel over them has been
hardship rather than a pleasure, a
trip from Wilmington to Selbyville
could not be accomplished IN twice
three hours, and in fact has often proved
a full days work. Wlth\a fine improved
highway reaching through the State,
however, the prediction that the trip
can be made within three hours Is well
within the bounds OF possibility It was
indeed fortunate thing for Delaware,
and especially motorists, when the State
Highway Department was created by
the Delaware Legislature, and an equal
ly fortunate thing that Charles NJ. Up
ham was selected TO direct the road
building work as chief engineer.

STATE BANKERS AND EDUCATION,

TT 10 the credit OF the Delaware state Bankers As
socation that Il s cyincing such keen and intelligent

up TO approved twentieth century standards,
John 5. Rossel head Of the Security Trust and Safe
Deposit Company Of this city and also president Of the
state Bankers Association, made argument for better
educational advantages for Delaware boys and girls that
should appeal strongly the people Of entire state
He said;

which deyove upon bankers, cannot ignore the
great question OF education now before our people. we
must show felow-ciizens that are fully con-
scious Of existing conditions, and must do everything

now being directed framed 10 accomplish this

is that Il be given fair trial. and this all fair~mindcd
citizens should grant llliteracy Is dark stain upon

subscribed 20 the War Loans be relied upon 10 take
literally the bonds dedicated TO the welfare OF their
children"
Mr. Rosselrs appeal for fair trial and square deal
for the new school Code is both timely and forceful
There IS manifest disposition in certain quarters TO
deny both those things 20 the Code II is manlfesty
proper that the state bankers It's support pro-

Editorial Opinion
THE PRESIDENTS BITTERNESS.

From the New York Tribune.
The opening discourse Of the Presl-
dent at Columbus has about the con
tents expected. There IS the usual
avoidance OF the Issues in dispute, the
! customary parade OF general phrases
a persistence In the vagueness which
IS characteristic OF other speeches from
the same speaker.
"The only people" said the President,
II owe any report to are you and the
! other citizens Of the United States. -
! The declaration, which was, OF course,
applauded, means, II 1t means anything,
that a President has no responsibility
! 30 Congress or 30 any other depart
ment Of government. This may be Mr..
Wilson's theory, but it is not the theory
Of a constitution whose central thought
Is the unceasing responsibility Of every
office and every department Of govern
mont 10 another
Iiavmg proclaimed his exemption
from all control, the President next es-
says the role Of prophet. lie says that
it the treaty is accepted the men in
khaki will never have to cross the sea
again." SO the future has whispered
Its secrets TO him.
On its face the covenant, unless modl-
fed, makes IL certain II there Is an
other war that the United States Will
be in it. TO say our men are never
again 10 cross the sea is thus TO say
there will be no more war. Mr.. Taft not
long ago expressed his opinion Of those
willing TO deceive The people by ex-.
travagant predictions.
That the President does not expect
waress future is sufficiently indicated
by his acts. He is supporting Secre-
tary Baker in his campaign 20 create
professional American army Of 100000
men II peace is assured why spend
billions on armament9 The President
shows how little. is his faith in his
prophecy.
Continuance in this kind Of discourse |
will delay rather than hasten action on
the treaty Bitter unreason on one side |
OF a controversy is likely TO develop il !
on the other
Tie country is most anxious for |
speedy disposal Of the treaty question. |
Basis fer adjustment has existed for |
some time But as often as a settlement |
has been about to be reached the Presi- |
dent has relapsed into obslinacy and /
the wrangle breaks out again lt has |
seemed at times as il there was Sc
cret purpose somewhere TO secure the /
trealy's complete rejection.

prom, the New York SUM-

The Executive part Of the treaty max
ing power OF tho United States Gov
ernment demands that the Senatorial
part Of the treaty making power shall
efface itself entirely. shall surrender its
constitutional function and shall accept
tho Executive made treaty without a
single amendment or reservation.
AZ lately as Tuesday evening Senator
Swanson. after talking with President
Wilson at the White House on the eve
OF his departure on his months aban-
donment OF his duties at Washington,
reported him 'as unalterably opposed
az ever 10 any changes that would in
volve recommltiing the treaty TO tho
Paris Conference"
Tho same plea was The only basis OF
Senator HltchcOok's speech yesterday
afternoon demanding the ratification OF
the treaty unchanged and attacking the
Senators who are exercising their con-
stitutional function.
Here Is the sole reason which the
President has yet vOuchsafed for his
stubborn lnsistence that there must be
no change whatever az Washington IN
that which his labors and tradlngs
produced at Paris; Any amendment
or reservation or valid Interpretation
by the Senate will throw the entire
treaty back TO Paris and reopen II to
long controversy.

Peter
IS PUNISHED
BY the Story Lady.


Peter put a spider on Patty one day
and scared her so that she fell back
ward over the porch railing and cut
her head on a rock and good old Dr.
Waters had to come and sew il up.
Peter expected a thrashing but to
his great surprise he was let entirely
/ alone. They spent their time doing
nice things for Patty who had TO stay
in bed a day or so, and no one even as
much spoke TO Peter. Papa finally
forgave him enough to speak to him
and the twins didn't seem to hold
anything against him, but Mama look
ed grave whenever she saw him, and
Peter knew she couldn't forgive the
sight of Patty lying on the ground
with the blood staining her fair hair
Peter was truly very sorry and
promised himself that even though IL
was lots Of fun TO tease the twins he
would never do 10 again. lie was
very good and very quiet and finally
things got so bad for him that he
couldn't eat much and there was
lump in his throat all the time.
One day he was sitting on the porch
and Mama came out with her mend
ing basket She sat down to work
and her thread rolled off the porch.
Peter got it for her and when he
brought il back he put his head on
her shoulder
What's the matter. SOM"
I'm sick quavered Peter
Shall ] send for the doctor2"
Peter shuddered and shook his head
shall I give you some medlcne2 ?"
Peter shook his head again
Do you want Just a little loving?"
haid Mama, as she hugged him hard.
Peter hid his face in her neck, and
