Bringing Back the Dead.

The return Of the bodies of two OF our
brave men who went 10 the war front at
the country's cali and met death, makes the
conflict that set the world afaIne seem
close instead of almost three years IN the
background. How many other Della
wareans have been left behind in the soil
of the country they helped 20 save from
the German is not accurately known, Tor
indeed there seems 10 have been little
official interest IN the men or In their
coming OF going on the part of our city or
State. The State officials, have been rerniss
in expressing Delsware's appreciation oi
the men who went from their homes here,
overseas to fight the worlds battles, or
trying 20 tel them in any way that they
represented the best traditions OF the
State in going to the front at the first call.
Perhaps every other State gladly pad
homage TO their returning men and have
enrolled the names Of their dead on local
scrolls of fame, TO stand for all time IN
testimony Of their courage and bravery.
Perhaps had these heroes of the worst
war the world has ever seen, allied them
selves with the local political party IN
power, they would have been proclaimed
as the saviors of Christianity and have
been voted the consolation Of bonus or
cash reward OF some other kind.
Republics are said TO be ungrateful, but
it seems TO be Republicans in this m
stance. Unfortunately for them, it was not
a war conducted by G. o. P. administra-
ton, and the brave deeds of our soldiers
are obscured by the blind partisanship OF
the party that is belittling the achieve
rnent Of America and her men who fought
the Hun
