AS Others See Us

The great foreign commanders who
witnessed the march past of the
American Legion in Kansas City saw
more than a parade and heard more
than the music and the cheering.
Said Marshal Foch Here is the
soul of the United Statesmen of
high ideals, men who would make a
fine backbone of any nation"
"The American soldier" said Gen.
Diaz, "is the most dangerous type of
fighter--the fighter who smiles"
'The LEGION" declared Admiral
Beatty, 'is power which is inn
portant to influence the world"
And Gen. Jacques, of Belgium, de-
clared: "They have the souls of
eternal youth; they are sublime"
These leaders are accustomed to
evaluate men, in the largest armies,
by far, that history records. They
have witnessed herosm in every man.
Hesitation. Men who failed to rise to
what was expected of them in the
line Of duty never won their eulogy.
Their utterance is the appraisal of
soldiers by soldiers who themselves
went through every tribulation of the
war.
No man who has known from with
in what the American armies did in
France will venture to belittle their
performance or to underrate the
quality of the men who composed the
rank and file. The testimony of those
who well knew whom they led is the
veracious and acceptable evidence

Air Trips Round the World
In II Days. Practical Men
Say Dream Will Come True

Some very practical men have been
sitting round a table in Paris recently
planning how to make a dream come
true. The men are the promoters of
q great Airway Congress and Areo
Show being held in Paris this fall,
and the dream is that air travel
around the world can be so perfected
that the trip can be made in seven
teen days. Everything is planned and
mapped out on paper for this amaz-
ing journey covering $4,000 miles in
seventeen days. The route starting
from London would be eastward. Con-
stantinople, Cairo, Australia, San
Francisco and New York would be
on the route of the air ships leaving
London at 8 a. m. Monday and reach
ing London at 8 a. m. Thursday, sew
enteen days later. Accomplishing the
trip in a month would still seem
pretty much like dream, and even
the most enthusiastic planners admit
that there are a good many missing
links to be joined up in the world air
chain before even this can be accom-
pished. All agree, however, that air
travel wonders are coming much
faster than even the dreamers
dreamed.

CiOic Duty No Longer Appeals

Civic Duty and Civic Pride
are worn-out terms. We recog-
nize their meaning and obliga-
tion but we are tired of them.
They are platform platitudes.
They have lost their punch.
They no longer challenge. The
speaker loses his audience i'm
mediately he speaks of them.
They are the threadbare texts
and catch-words of Reformers
and 'Ists-and the world is tired
of washed-out preachments. Re-
formers are not so fashionable of
late and until new words can be
coined expressing the Truth
found in these terms, citizens
are forgetting those things these
words once inspired.
Just for instance. What term
could be used today that would
appeal and challenge into action
a citizen who owns a vacant lot
grown up with weeds? Just
what word could be expressed
that would arouse a Church to
clean up it's back lawn? Where
is the word that would challenge
a community into action for
scant decency in it's schools ?
What can we say that will cause
men of education and big busi-
ness to take active part in
politics?
A time there was when Civic
Pride and Duty would cause the
well-to-do citizen who owned
land on resident streets to clean
up. Today he is legal advisor for
some unemployment bureau.
Once, Civic Pride would arouse
a church organization in a Town
Cleaning or Fly Campaign. To-
day they discuss National Child
Welfare.
There was a day when local
Public Schools were the vital
topics of interest. Today we are
discussing Department of
Eduation in the Presidents
Cabinet.
What can we say? Would that
we had the word that would
arouse everyday citizenship to
sense the obligation imposed by
American Institutions.
Leading Citizens of our COM
munities are dissipating their
energies. Thinking in terms of
Nations, they have neglected af-'
fairs at home. We need a bit of
Civic Pride or some substitute
here in Delaware. Yes, even
Newark is sometimes neglected.
A wonderful opportunity for
that Leading Citizen of yester-
day to come back. But Civic
Pride and Duty are not words
that appeal. Someday they will
come-words full of American
life and challenge. Let us hope.

Protect american Toys

made in Germany" toys
5000 tons of them, have arrived
in Boston for the holiday trade.
Made in Germany at a wage per
week, not equal to an American
wage per day--there's a prac-
teal problem in unemployment.
We are not one of those who
said a few years ago that our
children should never play with
toys made in Germany. We still
cherish the romance of Nuren-
berg where Christmas prepara-
ton lasts all the year. Our trade
relations with Germany will be
resumed, of course. The Hymn
of Hate is not popular number
of Americas repertoire. Many
there were who voted discontin-
uance of the study of German
language as a protest against
kulture, blind for the moment
that Imperialism is in the
hearts, not the tongues of men.
But the imported toys just
now. 1t may seem a bit incon-
sistent for a tariff on Christmas
Cheer, but with thousands out OF
employment and American Toy
Industries, built up during the
war, idle because of the free
entry, there is bit of practica
business in a tariff on toys. Il
means employment, protected
industry and an American toy
all of which appeal. Costing
bit more, true, but Christmas
Joys made by American fathers
just now would be a practica
aid to unemployment.
Anyhow, its American made
toys for us this season. If WI
protect, by tariff, other indus
tries, why not the toy business

Support The Conference

Men there are and women.
too, who, though strong advo-
Gates Of the Treaty of Versailles,
are truly hopeful of any success
that may come at the approach
ing conference. They are those
who think and act in terms of
world good and not in political
or personal gain. There are 9TH
ers, so blinded by prejudice, SC
politically peeved that President
Wilson's idea was not accepted
that they claim the Washington
conference is only a Republican
imitation of Versailles. This is
unfortunate. We have no quar-
rel with advocates of the League
of Nations. But the idea did not
prevail in this country. The
"War to end war" was the be-
ginning, it seems, of greater
armies and stronger navies. The
Washington conference has a
motive that should receive
American support-not by Re-
publican Americans alone, nor
by pacifist Americans, not by
women, but by all Americans
of whatever creed or party. The
staunchest supporter of Wood
row Wilson-yes, Woodrow Will
son himself, should be a strong,
active and speaking force of
America just now. And if Ideals
are above Ambitions and Ideas
superior to Men, President
Wilson and all those who believe
with him will speak. The issue,
like the League, is of World
concern. Civilization stands at
the Crossroads, and every leader
in command in America during
the World War as we'll as the
rank and file who followed,
should voice his experience and
support.
The issue is too great, the op-
portunity too wonderful, the re-
sponsibility of America too
tragic for former leaders to sulk
in their tent.
The Ideal toward which we
are striving is the beating of
swords into ploughshares." That
Nations with their local views,
social, religious and political,
are ready to do this, is expecting
too much. But any thing, by
agreement, that will tend to
lessen the waste and horror of
war demands all that Americas
thought, time and energy can
give. And that man, party, or
organization giving less, has
failed to catch the spirit of
America today-or is opposed to
it. And silence will at this time
tell a tragic story.

Women,s Power in Politics

ooh, women will not do any
thing, 'cept being a nuisance
around convention time. And
We'll fix that. They like resolu-
tions and platform stuff, so We'll
put 'em on the platform commit
tee and go into convention and
nominate anybody we want to.
Then We'll get 'em registered
and they'll have to vote"
That's the argument and
point of view of a rural district
leader-and it holds the secret
of success or failure of women
in politics in Delaware. Their
real power and only power of
practical consequence is their
vote in the primaries. TIE selec-
tion of delegates to the next
Convention is just the thing the
Old Guard Politician does not
want the woman to interfere
with. He'll put up with her at
the Convention. Yes, he will
even agree to having some
women delegates. But to have
them start their work early
by getting registered and taking
part in selecting a controlling
majority of delegates to the
Convention-that is the Politi-
clans Great Fear and the Wom-
ems Great Chance. Few women
are acquainted with this advant-
age and those old gamesters di-
recting the game from the
counting room, brokers' office
and secret councils, are not anx-
ious that this information be
widely circulated.-It means a
new day-and their political
death. And a few first class
political funerals might be q
good thing. In fact, the State
might survive an epidemic.

Delaware Wallops
Western Maryland
Go Up Against Lafayette Next
Week

Delaware's flying Yellowjack-
cts added another victory to
their string by walloping Wes-
tern Maryland by the over
whelming score of 48 to 6. The
Blue and Gold continued its
phenomenal playing and tram
pled the Maryland defense ruth
lessly underfoot. On the defense
the line played well, the visiting
backs failing to puncture it for
more than one or two first
downs.
Western Maryland's lone
touchdown came as the result of
an intercepted lateral pass In the
first few minutes of play, when
Williams tossed late to Jackson.
Delaavare showed lots of power,
however, and soon started a
march for touchdown. Straight
football put the ball across and
after that it was one procession
after another for the goal line.
Time saved the visitors seven
points, for Delaware was on the
four-yard line when the whistle
blew for the end of the contest.
Jack Williams, pile-driver of
parts, was one of the luminaries
of the afternoon. The big full
back was at his best, tearing
holes in the Maryland line and
dragging several tacklers many
yards before being downed. Will
liams seemed hard to stop, for
the terrific drive which has al
ways characterized his playing
was much in evidence. Harry
Jackson, Freshman halfback,
played his usual game, gaining
ground consistently. Jackson's
thrusts off-tackle are hard to
stop because of the shifty way
he runs, and Ward and his rum
ming mate did not seem to be
able to solve the difficulty. Joe
Rothrock, who has been playing
backfeld this year for the first
time, showed his heels time and
again to would-be tacklers. Roth
rocks size and speed point him
as a star of the first magnitude
with another years experience
Johnnie Schaeffer, hard-work-
ing quarterback and one of the
gamest men on the field, was
forced to take the count in the
third quarter when he received
a kick on the head. Schaeffer
played his consistent game and
ran his team we'll until he was
removed from the field in an un-
conscious condition. Doc Steel,
in the substitute position, broke
loose for a long run and a touch
down. The line played a tearing
game and refused to give
ground under the most deter
mined offense that Western
Maryland could put forth. It
opened up wide holes for the
backs to slip through, and got
into the interference on many
plays.
Next week Delaware opposes
the big Maroon squad at Lafay-
cite.
