GOVERNOR DENNEY BACK HOME
French People Conferred High HOnors
Upon American LegiOn-Received
by President Millerand

I'VE had a most interesting trip" |
declared Governor William D. Denney, |
who arrived home at Dover Monday |
from a tour of France in company |
with other members of the American !
Legion. "We were accorded the |
warmest welcome wherever we went"
he said. "The French people were
most hOspitable and conferred upon
us very high honors." Governor Den
ney was one of the American Legion
delegates of 144 men and 43 women
which left New York on the George

to attend the dedication in Flirey,
France, of monument to the A. E.
F. One hundred and four men and
twenty-five women of the party re-
turned to New York aboard the steam
ship LeOpolina from Havre. He was
enthusiastic about the trip we were
extended every courtesy by the French
people, said Governor Denney. "Af-
ter landing in France" he said, "the
party toured that country and Bel
gium, visiting every industrial centre,
the battlefelds and the cemeteries"
Are de TriOmphe Opened For Them
every place we visited" he stated,
1--WE were met with brass bands and
banqueted. At Paris the 'Arc de
Triomphe' was opened for only the
second time since it was erected in
honor of Napoleon Bonaparte. We
were given a reception by President
Millerand at his summer home, and in
Belgium where we spent three days,
we were given a reception by King
Albert" Everywhere, he said, the
American flag was prominently dis
played, and in Nevers the American
; flag was the only one flying from the
fagpole, where the reception took
place. The governor said the return
t ing party left Havre on September
and had a most pleasant trip across

up the harbor they were escorted b.

KENT COUNTY LEVY COURT
BOndsmen Make Good Shortage of
Eugene COppage of West Dover

Eugene COppage of West Dover
At Tuesdays session of the Kent
County Levy Court, R. R. Kenney, at
torney for the court, presented a check
for S742.18, the amount recovered
from the bondsmen of Eugene Cop
page, a tax collector of West Dover.
He had, under the old system of tax
collection, failed to collect all his tax
duplicate during the tenure of his Of
flee. One of the bondsmen raised the
question of the deduction from the
amount paid of discounts allowed at
the time of collection of taxes, it be-
ing claimed that no discount had ever
been allowed. The matter was held
under advisemeat by the court.
The reports of the county officers
for August showed collections. Pro-
thonotary Ridgely, S143.95; Register
of Wills Willis, S214.89; Recorder of
Deeds Coverdale, S958.85; Clerk of
Orphans Court Cole, $3.50; Clerk
of Peace Heyd, S28.5O.
The court ordered a transfer of
$4,000 from the general fund to the
good roads fund, being the regular
transfer in which each of the ten dis
tricts of the county receives $1,000.
An order for 100 was drawn II
favor of the Kent county almshoust
trustees being two months appropria
tion.

The southern republic, according

as heretofore. There are three shoe
factories in Mexico City which are
furnishing practically all the foot

china SETTLING
FfOR A RETURN To
MONARCHY FORM
fRy Associated Pressl

Picking, July S--The Chinese news
ipers are freely and openly discuss
G prospects of a far-reachfng
lange in Chinese affairs which have
zen declared as possible and even
.obable this summer.
One of the dominant figures to
hom all experienced observers look
an initial movement in bringing
'out the predicted change is Gener-
Chang Tsi-lin, military governor
Manchuria, whose influence in the
pital is now paramount.
The prevailing belief is that Cen
al Chang is favorable to the resto-
tion to the Chinese throne of the
y Emperor who has long been a
isoner in the Forbidden City.
There was widespread expectation
at Chang would inaugurate in the
ring or early sumner a movement
put the boy Emperor back on the
rome but it has not thus far mater
lied.
This in turn has given way to in
nal dissensions between Chang
d other leaders. Cabinet changes
We ensued and there has been talk
suppressing the independent move
mt at Canton.
While the newspapers discuss the
lole subject quite freely yet there
nothing authoritative and little
portunity to substantiate the re-
rts so freely circulated.
Many observers attribute these
vements and counter-movement
the well-known shortage of funds
m which the military leaders in
ina are suffering. The fate of the
vernment in China hangs to a lar
extent than Westerners would
,pose upon the attitude of the
zee military governors of the
them province who virtually con-
/ everything north of the Yang
river. Recently they held a
citing in Tien-tsin and entered up
some kind of an arrangement for
division of authority between
IN. The Premier and several Of
ministers made repeated journeys
Tien-tsin to confer with them and
shake-up in the cabinet was made
suit these, military commanders.
The Premier, who is opposed to
king any further loans, has pro-
sed a program of retrenchment
itch covers disbandonment of
pops. The military governors re-
sed to permit their troops to be
smissed and those of the Ministry
War cannot be disbanded without
wing up the arrears of pay which
: government seems unable to do.
There has been talk of military
ovement to GUST the President, Hsu

IN MEMORY
49, Hfe FA0& a

Little George Sullivan Raw was
born July %, 1914. Had he lived
until July %, of this year, he would
have been seven years old. He was
a bright and loyable child, of sturdy
and stalwart build, bidding fair to
be of help to his widowed mother,
whom it seems has been called upon
to part with so much that makes life
dear to us ALL Our hearts go out
to her in this sad bereavement rot
only to her, but to her parents, with
whom she lives, for they are deeply
devoted to her children.
The little twin brother is now left
alone with his playthings. They were
devoted to- each other-almost in
separable. Little George was sick
only short time, as CONGESTION does
its work quickly. We can only com
mend his mother to our Heavenly
Father, who doeth all things well.
Whom He loYeth He chasteneth.
O, little George. we loved you, yes,
we loved you,
But the Savior loved you more:
So He plucked from His garden,
To adorn His heavenly shore.
Mother, dear, so live this life
That when Times fitful voyage
is Ger,
You will meet your precious darl-
ings
On that far-off shining shore,
Why should we grieve for little
children,
Whose feet ne'er trod the paths
of sin?
They give back to God a pure white
spirit,
Neither furnished nor uncIean.
For the blessed Savior said:
Suffer them to come to me-"
There to dwell among His angels,
Throughout vast eternity.
Now, dear grandparents, let this lead
you
To "closer walk with Cod"
To where there'll be no more sad
partings,
No more to feel His Christening
rod.
His Aunt, Matte Sullivan Fred
