SERVICE men URGED
!: TO FILE APPLICATIONS
FOR VICTORY MEDALS

Victory Medals are being applied for
SO slowly by eX-service men that
Major General P. C. Harris, the Ad-
jutant General of the Army, has notl-
fed the officers in charge of the
distribution to make the utmost effort
to reach all who deserve it. 1t is
estimated that 3,757,624 men who
served in the army are entitled to the
medal, but to date only 379,214, or
about ten per cent of the number, have
applied. Applications are coming in
at the rate of only $500 a day, which

master has put on large force, and
these men are being held at much ex-
pense to the government.
1T is no more difficult to make out
a form for the Victory Medal an
nounces General Harris, than it is to
fill out a money order blank" This
form verifies the recipients service

Simple Procedure.
THE ex-service man has only to
apply at the nearest Army Post or re-
cruiting officer or through any patri-
otto soQety such as the American
Legion or the Veterans of Foreign
Wars. Here he will be shown how to
fill out his blank, and If his discharge
papers are correct. the application is
forwarded direct to Philadelphia, and
the medal mailed within week.
Hundreds of applicants have given
wrong addresses, and many medals
are returned daily by the Post Office
because the men cannot be located"
For service in the United States
1874 Medals have been issued to
date, and 1902 for service in foreign
countries. There have been 56,005
medals with three battle clasps issued.
and $3.50 with two battle clasps.
These are the largest numbers Of all

one to eleven. There have been 50
medals issued with nine clasps, nine
medals with ten clasps, and two with
eleven clasps.

Has Had Little Practice. 4s

The first game of the season for
the Topeka high school basketball
team will be played against Atchfson
this evening in the high school gym
nasium. The local team, because of
the long period of closing during the
coal shortage, is shy considerable pre-
liminary practice and enters the con-
test under a handicap.
From twenty to thirty men have
been out for places on the team every

practice. Coach J. z. Barnes was not
ready to announce his lineup this
morning. The team which will start

the nine men of the squad who have
had some preliminary experience in
the game. Three of these are last

THE COAL SITUATION.

The disgruntled miners of the anthra-
cite region, if they should elect to carry
out their threat to strike, haven't one
chance in ten to win. The public, as Presi-
dent Wilson has so plainly predicted,
would defeat their efforts.
1t is beside the question for the dis
affected group to point to the higher wage
award granted in the bituminous field
Every opportunity has been given to the
Pennsylvania miners to prove their case
and, through their accredited agent, Neal
j. Ferry, they agreed to accept in ''full
faith" whatever the award of the special
commission might be. There is no answer
to these words of President Wilson:
By all the laws of honor upon which
civilization rests, that pledge should be
fulfilled ANY intimation that the anthra-
cite mine workers will refuse TO work
under the award because it does not grant
them all that they expected is a reflection
upon the sincerity of the men who con-
stitute the backbone of the community
in which they live.a
There is nothing more to be said The
miners may quarrel among themselves
and disrupt their union if they wish, but
the case is settled so far as the public is
concerned. The strike if it should come,

EDUCATION IN 1920.

This country must sooner or later get
on a peace basis, and when it does, the
folly Of having its educational budget IN
State and Nation represented by per
centages of expenditure that put IT at
the very bottom of the list, far below the
moneys appropriated for road improve
mcnts, for instance, will be apparent TO
every one. With the suffrage extended to
women, there Is even greater need than
ever before in the history Of the Republic
for an educated electorate. Every Specialist
worth his salt knows that all other methods
of Americanization are as nothing COM
pared with the value Of the public school,
and particularly the public school treated
as a community center and accessible TO
young and old.
IL ought TO be and will be viewed a. a
grave public scandal, therefore, if we do
not stiffen the appropriations for edu-
cational purposes everywhere and work
out that relationship Of the central govern
ment TO the States IN the matter OF edu-
cational development that rs the crying
need Of the hour. During the last sessions
of Congress all sorts of futile efforts were
made to pass law which would set up a

There is no invasion of States Rights in

that educational level that the best minds
of the country realize must be attained to
get results in the future. That the country
should gag over the expenditure OF the
proper amount necessary to secure trained
teachers and give every child a real edfn-
cation is unthinkable 1t M about time
we faced this issue fatty and realized that
it is not matter of sentimental altruism
but of downright common horse sense.

Repubiican Candidate for Governor.

The Delaware State News is published
at Dover. the home of Colonel William d.

while no person can say word against
the character and ability of the Repub-
lican gubcrnatorial candidate. Colonel
William ID. Denney-for he is one Of
Delawares most upright citizens-yet he
is not known throughout the State and has
not been sufficiently identified with public
affairs to make him real gubernatorial
timber. There is no special argument the
most ardent Republican spokesman can
advance 10 show the voters of Delaware
whv he should be elected chief executive
of this State. Certainly he has had no ex-
perience that would especially fit him for
the high Office 10 which he aspires. He is

candidacy has chilled. rather than aroused,

The Danger sall Threatens.

Probably influenced by tho mdoubtod
public sentiment which condemned their
summary strike in refusing to sign for
fire service for another year at the figures
offered by City Council, tho Ave recall
citrant fire companies, through their Off
cials, last night recanted and subscribed
to the contracts. They accepted the
Councils figures, the lsttcr body agreeing
to come to their help financially should
it appear during the year that tho COM
panies could not meet their obligations
fully at the amount of compensation
allowed them.
This compromise, however, does not
remove, or even mitigate, the danger Of
the situation that confronts the city in
respect Of its fire-6ghting service. The
present fire department has long been
deemed inadequate to meet existing de-
mands. a complete change to a paid
fire-fghting system is needed and will
alone overcome the threatened danger.
The officials of the underwriters asso-
citation who have paid special attention
to the situation have declared that paid
fire department, of undoubted efficiency
as to equipment and service, is seriously
needed, and large majority of our citi-
zens coincide with this view.
Therefore, unless the City Council inn
mediately moves in the direction of sstab-
fishing q complete and efficient paid fire
department, the danger will continue 10
hang over the~city-the danger Of n cur
tailment of insurance and an increase in
rates. Having patched up the recent
difficulty temporarily, it is the duty of
the City Council TO go ahead and pro-
vide such a department as the needs of
the city require. 1t should have done this
months ago. To longer trife with the
serious situation would intensity the
present critical conditions and lead to
damaging results. 1t is hoped, therefore,
the City Council will see the necessity of
prompt and effective action, and delay
no longer.

Not a ConsoIing Favor"

The Republican State platform says:
We favor the development Of the great
est Dc ssible efficiency In the administra-
ton Of the affairs Of the State. the coun-
ties and the municipalities And in this
connection it also ''favors' the budget
system.
The Republican power party has con-
trolied the State administration almcs
continuously for a quarter CT century.
WHY do we not have the budget system?
Why do we have a most unsatisfactory
condition Of affairs, and most oppressive
taxes?
The Republican party also has oon-
trolled the administrations Of New Castle
and Sussex counties during like period.
Is the Sussex county administration
model one? And could conditions in New
Castle county be worse than they are
today?
The Republican party has controlled
the administration Of the city OF Whining
ton almost continuously for more than
twenty years. What has it done for good?
What has il not done for evil? And the
taxes it has impC sed
The solid truth is that all kinds Of adj
ministration in Delaware have been mis-
erably inefficient, extravagant and costly.
