NOT LAND OF SLACKERS.

1t is most interesting and highly
gratifying TO follow the action of the
government in going after the So
called slackers of the war. At first
the number seemed to be appallingly
large, but by degrees it is being whit
tied down until now 1t appears to be
very close to the Xanishing point
They are having what is called the
final roundup of slackers" in New
York city, and the United States At
torney for that district reports that
the investigation discloses only nine
cases of draft evasion out OF nearly
10000 persons on the lists submitted
by the War Department.
1t must DE understood that the men
in these lists are not accused OF de-
sertion. Deserters are looked after by
the War Department. The names
under consideration are those who are
charged with failing to comply with
Il provisions of the Selective Service
law. In other words. slackers. They
include the names of those who regis
tered for the draft, but who failed to
return their questionnaires. Such per-
sons. if found guilty, are liable to a
years Imprisonment.
Now what happened? Well IN

MIR. WILSON'S ATTITUDE.

While no statement OF any kind has
been made by ex-President Wilson,
IL IL apparent ne has no intention Of
participating to the slightest extent
in the deliberations OF the Conference
FOR the Limitation OF Armaments, or
even To receive visits from members OF
that great body, now considering one
Of the most important matters ever
presented TO diplomatic conference.
This was pertinently indicated by the
manner in which calls at his resi-
dence in Washington by Marshal Foch
and Premier BRAND OF France, on diff
ferent occasions, were met by cour-
tcous intimations OF mot at home"
But II is also apparent that no
churlishness or discourtesy is intended
by Mr.. Wilson in thus refraining from
receiving as guests any members Of
this distinguished Conference, in the
outcome Of which he undoubtedly feels
the greatest interest. 1t is more than
probable he is intent upon pursuing
course that will Of itself combat in
sidious attempts OF his malignant par
tisan enemies to charge him with en-
deavoring 20 influence the actions of
the delegates. That he could influence
them enormously by personal inter-
views is certain. But this ne evil
IDENTIFY does not propose TO do.
MIR. Wilson's partisan enemies are
implacable in their hatred, which is
based entirely on jealousy. But they
cannot harm him. His name will live
in glory long after they are dead and
unknown to posterity.

MAY LEARN SOMETHING.

Senator Boies Penrose OF Pennsv,-
Nania, leader of the unruly majority
in the Senate--so far as II is anon
able to rule-is quoted "a saving OF
last weeks elections that local issues
and men were the deciding factors.
and not national politics"
Well, Penrose may console himself
with this belief, bu. many others viii
disagree with him. National polite.

Republican verdicts in Maryland and
Kentucky, and in New York and other
large cities.

LINE UP WITH THE RED CROSS

The annual membership roundup OF
the Red Cross is now under way. hav-
ing started on Armisticc Day. and will
continue throughout this week. The
campaign is to retain all present men,
bers and secure as many new one, as
possible. President Harding has pub
licly indorsed this campaign. and so
has Governor Denney OF our State.
Our people are familiar with the Red
Cross and the great work II has per-
formed. Its splendid services during
the World War were the admiration
of all.
But the cessation of war did not end
the demands for Red Cross ministra-
tions. or even diminish them. This
great agency waH formed for the pur-
pose OF relieving human suffering
and distress. and wars aftermath of
suffering and sorrow Is as intense. IN
various ways, as That which prevailed
during actual hostilities. Thousands
of suffering persons. especially women
and children. in various parts OF the
world call loudly FOR the ministra-
tions OF the Red Cross.
We hope our people viii respond
liberally and in good spirit TO the Red
Cross membership campaign. IL costs
but one dollar a year to retain mem.

Wilmington and Delaware nobly stood

NO HONOR TOO
GREAT FOR FOCH

Not unrelated to the quality
characteristic OF all the verses on tho
Unknown American that have been
sent to The Times In that which marks
the welcome given to Marshal Foch
In every American city to which ne
goes. In each OF them, and along the
railways his trnin traverscs. the people
;hrn out In enormous crowds, and their
cheers arc long and loud. Evidently
they regard 1t as great privilege to
hear and see him. and all the honors
that are at their disposal they heap
upon him.
Yet the Marshal Is distinctly and
preeminently the soldler--the nght-
ing man--the man who plans and or
ders battles. More than that. he Is one
of those old men against whom are d.
rected so many and such bitter de-
nunciations by certain school of
critcs--one OF the old men on whom
the members OF that school put The re-
sponsiblity for the great war---one OF
the old men whom they vituperate
because from safe places In the rear
they sent young men to die on the AR
ing line.
The American public does not share
the opinions OF the pacf1sts. 1t sees
another Foch--the Foch who counted
the cost OF victory and paid II, whose
wisdom and courage turned threat
ened defeat into triumph and saved the
world from German domination In the
only way that II could be saved. The
American public knows that he Is ne
far as possible from being n man Of
blood, though 40 much blood was shed
| by thoss who carried out his com-
mands. II knows that no pacifist APP
preciates pace as much or as correct
ly as he does, and II agrees with him
In holding that to some missries and

AGAINST THE EXPERTS.

An inquiry conducted among econo-
mIsts by the New York University
Bureau of BUSINESS Research proves
corNluslvely that the expert opinion
of the country has no use for the
American valuation plan OF the Ford

OF economies answered the universities

thought American valuation would
not decrease imports sixty-nine
thought It would. One thought II
would not decrease exports. Ave

one thought 1t would not increase do

Increase unemployment. four thought
II would not Increase the cost of

tically unanimous In the belief that
American valuation would affect ad-

A GREAT CHURCH GATHERING.

Wilmington is honored this week.
by the presence in our city of the
sixth synod of the Protestant Epis-
copal Church of Washington. which
began its sessions in Trinity Church
thk morning. 1t is a most important
body OF the church. and its proceed
ings viii be OF material interest TO all
communicates of the Protestant Epis-
copal denomination throughout the
bounds Of the Washington province.
and especially in our State
This important religious gathering
is composed of fifteen bishops and
more than two hundred delegates. all
Of whom are being comfortably and
hospitality entertained by our people.
They will be called upon to consider
various matters of interest in church
matters, and what they may do will
be OF much concern TO all the members
of the churches represented by them.
Wilmington is fortunate in being
selected as the seat Of this importa n,
church assemblage. That our peonls
VIII do all in their power to make
the stay of the distinguished guests
pleasing and profitable is not doubted
and IL is equally assured our guests viii
be pleased al their reception and with
our city.

Ting controversies arising betwssn

right to strike should be entirely taken

vised to avert all possibility OF gen.

A NEEDED TRIBUNAL.

The Railway Age in it's current issue
advocates the abolition of government
regulation Of the wages and working
conditions Of all railway employees ex-
cept those directly concerned with the
operation Of trains. This il says, was
one OF the worst mistakes made in
framing the Transportation act.
There Is still, and always will he.
adequate ground for subjectine the
wages and working conditions Of en-
ployes directly concerned with train
operation to government regulation"
says the Railway Age. "and even for
absolutely prohibiting strikes by them.
The public should not be subjected to
the suffering and loss of an actual
interruption OF transportation. To
prevent this. special means should be
