LONDON, March 5.-The revolution
in Germany, apparently backed by
the weight of the greater part OF the
workers and all radical political eIe7
ments, has resulted in growing APP
probation of the necessity for speed
ing conclusion of preliminary peace.
The British press is advocating
mora! support of the present Ger
man government. as we'll as supply
ing the country with food. The
newspapers express fear that unless
this is done the allies viii be unable
to collect any indemnities. A Sparta
can victory, they point out, might
necessitate armed occupation OF Ger
many for an indefinite period.

IMMEDIATE CALLING OF
EXTRA SESSION ASKED BY
SAN FRANCISCO MAYOR

A resolution demanding that the
President immediately reconvene
Congress to keep it on the job while
the country is facing a serious recon.
structiOn period" was introduced in
the conference of governors and may
Ors by Major James Rolph, jr, San
Francisco, today. The resolution was
referred to a committee and action
will be taken on it at 4 o'clock this
afternoon. Rolph's demand has de-
veloped a partisan fight, Democratic
mayors and governors claiming that
he had no right to raise the resolu-
ton until it had been acted on by
a committee.
Judge Lewis. Arizona, declared this
would be applying a gag rule, and
the conference by an overwhelming
vote sustained Rolph.
Rolph also demanded to know why
$50 ship contracts of American yarCs
were Cancelled and the Shipping
Board is still allowing Chinese AMI
Japanese yards to build American
ships.
Urges Reduction Of Prices.
The cost Of living can be reduced
from 10 TO 80 per cent without cut
ting wages. if public officials will ad-
joUrn politics and cooperate with
labor and business, William Piggott
representing Mayor Ole Hanson, Of
Seattle, told the conference today.
Piggott also arraigned the Senate
as Kidding while Rome burned AID
said that the panicky feeling in re-
gard to bolshevism is all a DOGGY
Piggott propesd a program to meet
the unemployment situation, which he
declared existed everywhere. He
urged, first, that mayors cali together
their leading merchants and insist in
foTceful language that they must re-
duce the cost of living anywhere
from Is to % per cent
His second proposal was that man
uafcturers should be asked 10 start
repairs an engagements immedi-
ately.
Hold Up Contracts.
He next recommended that the
Shipping Board be called upon to an
nounce its policy. pointing out that
contracts on numerous steel ships
were being held in allegiance on the
Pacific coast while men were Unem-
ployed.
The railroad problem must also be
settled Immediately, Piggott said, de-
claring business is not so much in
terested in what is done as il is in
having something done
He scored Congress for failure 10

ORIENTAL ENJOYS
HERE LAUD LEAGUE

PARIS. March 5.-Japanese and
Chinese representatives issued state
ments to the press today. agreeing
that the League of Nations will set
tie Oriental problems, but taking
contrary views regarding the indi-
vidual aspirations of their respective
countries.
The Chinese. reasserting their
claims to Kiaochow and denouncing
Japans "twenty-one demands" on
China, openly charged that Japan
prevented China from joining the war
in 1914 and 1915. After China had
notified the allies she desired to de-
clare war in 1914 il was charged,
she received intimation from a seer
tain power" that such a move would
be likely to create complications. !"
Again, in 1915. she was prepared to
enter the war but Japan refused 10
assent.
Indorsing the League of Nations as
'the biggest achievement OF all
time the Chinese statement con-
cIuded:
. We have known little greatness.
Maybe much that was lost will be
regained under the International or
der in which we will be free to live
our life untrammeIed and unthreat-
ened by the type of state whose ma
terial greatness is based on war"
Japanese Statement.
The Japanese statement was issued
by Marquis Salonji. in response to q
query regarding Japan's attitude to-
ward the League OF Nations.
Japan is completely sympathetic
with the great project to establish
peace on a just. impartial and firm
basis. said the Marquis.
We view the question as much
from the general world viewpoint as
from that OF the Far East, where we
have been compelled three times in
the last half century to resort to
arms TO maintain peace.
We are happy that humanity finally
will be able to get a glimpse. although
feeble. Of the new era in which right
will definitely triumph over force.
II am firmly convinced that China
will appreciate our just and legitimate
aspirations and will come to Il COM

Alleged Murderer Captured

Guiseppi Pappy, charged with the
murder of Joseph Pasquall in Penns
Grove, July 9th, 1917, was captured
on Tuesday night and is now in Salem
jail awaiting trial.
Pappy escaped after he had stabbed
Pasquall and has been at large ever
since.
Sometime ago officer Russell of the
Penns Grove police force learned that
Pappy was following a woman about
from place to place. He was god
father to her child and had become in
fatuated with it, desiring to possess
it for himself. This was a
resident of Wayne and Pappy fire.
q%uently went there to see the child.
On Saturday it became known to
Russell that the woman and child
were coming to Penns Grove on a visit
and he felt sure Pappy would follow
her. A warrant was issued for his
arrest and learning that he was in a
house on Willis Street Russell and the
authorities surrounded the house on
Tuesday and captured the man. On
his person was found a 80 calibre re-
volver, fully loaded and ready for
use but he made no resistance.
Those who participated in the cap
ture were Chief Houseworth, Sheriff
Mifflin, deputy Brewer and officers
Russell, Byrd and Harbeson.
The murder was a brutal affair.
Pappy and Pasquall both lived on
Griffith Street near the railroad.
They met on the night of July 9th,
1917. at the corner of the Street and
engaged in an alteration over marital
matters in which Pasqualfs wife was
concerned.
Pappy finally became much excited
and drawing a knife stabbed Pasquall
in the stomach, cutting a hole the size
of a saucer. Pasquall died the next
day in the Wilmington hospital.

Should Sell At Once

Last year farmers could have sold
their white potatoes from 80 cents to
81 a basket but some stored hundreds
of baskets for higher prices. The
prices went down towards spring and
they missed the better market. The
wet weather greatly damaged the po-
tato crop in Southern and Middle
States. While prices are now from
81 to SIPS wholesale, yet some are
holding their potatoes from market.
Having been dug from wet land they
are not likely to keep. The wise
growers will get rid of their early
crop and the buyers will be wise in
not storing them for fear of rottIng.
Reports from Long Island, New
York, Maine and elsewhere are fine
for a large crop of white potatoes:
Farmers in this region kept their
potatoes in storage last year and lost.
Are they going to hold on this year
and lose again? A dollar in bank is
more surely kept than potatoes likely
to rot in the cellar.

Reed Birds Never So Numerous

Harry H. Smith, a gunner of 25
years. experience, went cunning on
Monday and shot nineteen dozen.
They were so numerous he could have
killed forty dozen, but the national
law forbids the birds being sold. There
are several gunners in this region who
made a profitable business in former
years shooting reed birds. Mr.. Smith
and his brother John NJ. Smith would
kill zoo dozen in such a year as this.
They usually sell for from rs cents to
SIPS a dozen because they are a great
delicacy, especially for the sick.
They are q game bird for profit and
there is very little element of sport
in shooting them, yet a national law
leaves it to the Secretary of Agricul-
ture to decide when they should be
shot. In former years they used to be
shipped by the barrel from Salem
County and brought many hundreds of
dollars to the gunners for birds which
are absolutely useless otherwise.
They are not a song bird to pro-
tect for an esthetic emotion but a
destructive bird, known as the rice
bird in the Southern States.
One overseer of a plantation in
South Carolina told Mr.. Smith that
they would consume an acre of rice in
an hour. He believes they are more
plentiful this year than ever before
because none were killed last year.
For the past four years only a few
were shot because the laws forbid sell
ing them outside the State and later
in the State.
In this time of food shortage there
is no good reason why these birds
should not be shot, both for the benefit
of the gunner as well as the consumer,
who relish their delicacy.
