France Gets
Great empire
Turkish Treaty Greatest Victory
Since NapoeOn'S Conquest
of Austria.
GIVEN The BAGDAD RAILWAY
Line Gives Paris the Key to the Near
East, Thereby Realizing the
Kaiser's Ambitions for a
"Mittel Europa"

Paris, March 15.-"The greatest VIC
tory French Imperialism has won since
Napoleons conquest of Austria
In these words high neutral diplo-
mat summed up the significance of the
Franco-Turksh separate peace, which
will be signed il. Paris by Easter.
Under the treaty France becomes
the absolute owner within Turkish
boundaries Of the famous Bagdad "ail-
way thereby realizing for France the
kaiSers ambitious dream of "mittel
Europa"
The enormous strategic Importance
of the Bagdad line can be understood
when it is remembered that France
already possesses "A direct line from
Paris to Constantnople, while she is
heavily backing the creation of new
railroad scheduled to run from Danzig
via Prague to Budapest, Bucharest,
Sofia ard then to Turkey, which,
though not touching Germany or Rus
STA, will traverse the countries OF the
little entente" which was founded
and fostered by astute French dipIo-
macy and aided by the Roumanan
,gizard statesman, Take Jonesca.
In other words the possession of
the Bagdad railroad will give France
the key to the Near East, hitherto
held by the British navy in the Oar
daneles, making her Independent of
her British ally as regards creating a
market for French commerce in Tur-
key and Asia.
While this agreement conflicts with
the British interests, especially as re-
CARDS petrol, observers here believe
that Premier Lloyd George was driven
to consent TO France scrapping the
Sevres treaty and signing separate
peace with Turkey owing to the strong
agitation i'm England against the
enormous expense of SGO,0OOO00 for
British occupation of Mesopotamia
provided in this years British budget,
which, at the same time, does not pro
vide a single penny's relief for the
taxpayers.
On the other hand, if England moves
out of NIesopotamia now it will
amount to free gift of Turkey to
France, because Great Britain cannot
hope to enforce terms on the Turks
contrary to those contained in the
Franco-Twkish treaty without alien
ating herself from France, on whom
she depends to keep a strong front
against the United States.

most of them had money in every
pocket yet not one of them thought Of

the wives of bankers and laundrymen

wealthy citizens, and they were such
poor sports that they were willing to
accept a handout rather than loosen
up. a few bones at the caravansary.
"There were six of these female del

When she first heard that the women
of the town were expected to take care

take care of two of them. A day or

provide for four, and then she conclud-
ed she could handle six and if she had
had a few more days, she'd have vol
unteered to take charge of the whole

there. They looked as sour as though
they had just been given ten days on

among themselves, taking care to talk
loud enough for Aunt Julia to hear.
One said she had always been used
to a good big pillow, and she couldn't
sleep on a pillow the size Of a pin
cushion. If strangers ever stayed
over night at her house, she said they
would be given real pillows, and not
craven images.

slept in kept her awake all night with

any woman with proper self-respect
would let a guest have such a bed.
Aunt Julia listened for a while, and

upstairs and gathered all the hand

Newark's Opportunity

Newark is indeed fortunate in it's oppor-
tunity to hear the country's best in thought
and music. During the College year, we had
a series of lectures and musical events that
could not be surpassed by any college town
in the country. Now by virtue of the Sum-
mer School and courtesy of the Service
Citizens we have another series open and
free to the public that challenges more than
ordinary attention. Such names as Glenn
Frank, Mary Antin, Herbert Miller Mrs.
Cunningham, Eleanor Patterson, DR.. Peck,
are national in prominence and significance.
They are leaders in American thought and
this community is given the exceptional op-
portunity to hear them under such favor
able circumstances. Aside from these are
the musical events which seem especially
attractive. Then again. Mrs. Friedewald,
DR.. Mitchell, Bishop Cook and DR.. Odell, well
known here, always draw crowds of interest
ed friends
Newark is so often and happily blessed
with such visitors that sometimes, the very
custom and frequency causes an oversight of
a great lecture or musical event. So this is
just to call attention to the exceptional pro-
gram before you. 1t reads like National
Chautauqua and is worthy of our note and
attention.

Wilmington and the Farmer

If Wilmington wants Farm Produce
direct from the Farm, it is approaching the
time when she must seriously consider ac-
commodations for the farmer. Most up-to-
date cities are inviting the farmer to town
with his produce and making conditions at
tractive in the way of Market Houses, Re-
frigerating Plants and Storage Houses.
This was called to our. attention this
week in conversation with farmer who has
attended King Street market for years. In
discussing his business, he said,
Good roads are changing market
conditions very seriously. Wilmington
dealers and truckers are beginning to
run auto trucks out here and buy up our
produce. They offer good prices and
save us the hard days trip. The absence
from the farm two days week, the
wear and tear on equipment and the
conditions of street market make the
life of King Street Market man a
hard one. To stand there exposed to the
weather is a serious consideration. I'm
less market house is provided and
storage accommodations made possible,
the day of the Farmers Market is al
most gone"
This does represent the trend. The
farmer will get almost as much for his pro-
duce and be left free at home, to devote all
his time to work. Wilmington, on the other
profit of the middle man which will be
greater than that now charged by the farmer.
Another disadvantage, the consumer will not
be so assured Of fresh products as he is under
the present regime. Again, Wilmington
merchants will certainly feel the loss of trade
now given twice week.
For some reason or another, Whining
ton has not at all times given the farmer
cordial reception. Officially, he is permitted
rather than invited to come. This attitude
is not the fault of Wilmington alone Farm
ers (so-called) have and do take advantage
and do not cooperate. But the bona-fide
farmer is an advantage to the city consumer
and most of those on King Street are bona
fide. If they are not, it is the fault of the
city
Wilmington newspapers, merchants and
the various organizations can serve well by
making the farmer welcome and comfort
able A market house and storage plant
would do much toward establishing closer
relations between Wilmington and rural
Delaware. And nothing would so insure the
development of trade than some such plan.

An american Salesman Dies

With the death of the Honorable Charles
j. Bonaparte at Baltimore on June 28th,
America loses another of her most distin-
guished citizens and statesmen, and also a
link with one of the three greatest figures in
history. Mr.. Bonaparte was the grand
nephew of the great Napoleon. His grand
father was Jerome Bonaparte, the Emperor's
brother, who became King of Westphalia.
Jerome Bonaparte in his young days, as a
French officer in command of frigate, land
ed in New York in 1903. While visiting
Baltimore, he fell in love with the daughter
of prominent American merchant, Edward
Patterson. Miss Betsy Patterson's hand was
won and the two were married in Baltimore
in December, 1903. After living a year in
this country, Bonaparte with his wife en-
barked for Europe. Upon arriving at Lisbon,
they were met by the refusal of the Emperor
Napoleon to allow the bride to land. The
Emperor had planned for his brother more
ambitious marriage which would advance the
interests of the French Empire. Jerome
parted win his wife, never to see her again,
and later by the arrangement of his power
full brother, married the Princess of Wurtem-
berg The oldest son of Jerome Bonaparte,
also named Jerome, was the father of the
distinguished American citizen who has just
died, Charles ]. Bonaparte of Baltimore. The
latter was born in Baltimore in 1851. He was
a lawyer, and close friend of the late Presi-
dent Roosevelt, serving as Secretary of the
Navy in 1905 and 1906, and as Attorney
General through the remainder of Roose-
velts administration. Charles j. Bonaparte
leaves behind him an enviable record of pub
lie service, and of work for social and educa-
tional welfare, and also to those who knew
him, the memory of delightful personality.
Mr. Bonaparte was an eloquent speaker; his
learning and wit combined with an integrity
of mind and action gave him the power to in
fuence his fellow men and to get from life
wide experience and enjoyment. In his later
years he spoke smilngly of his Somewhat
protracted and misspent career" which only
brought the more urgent wish from his
friends that these "misspent" years might
continue for the service and inspiration of a
present and coming generation.

Congratulations TO Mayor Harvey

In a civic sense, Wilmington is just an
other name for opportunity. And that OPP
portunity is yours, if you accept it in the
spirit of the times. Wilmington is great
city but it's real greatness is forecasted by
present opportunities and responsibilities.
1t has location, about to be realized in
the harbor development. 1t has park sys-
tenn unsurpassed, needing only appreciation.
1t is city of homes, but more are needed; a
city of beautiful streets, only to be improved;
a city of great educational opportunities,
about to be recognized. A city of big business
with opportunities not yet realized. 1t needs
a system of government in keeping with
modern business methods.
All these you realize as does all Will
mington and all Delaware. 1t needs most of
all leader and you are in position to assume
such role
Just now in these days of read ustment,
public opinion is ready for disqualification.
The attitude of Wilmington's mind seems to
us receptive to any worthy and worthwhile
plan. You can serve well by leading this
into practical movements for a Greater
Wilmington.
Wilmington IS great city, with great
business, great architecture great churches,
great generosity and a people of great ability
and patriotism. A city of great opportunity
and you are its Mayor.
Rural Delaware offers congratulations.
