TN support OF the appeal the Delaware Division OF

will enable it TO buy permanent home and in dbl

the outset that the organization this
posed OF 500 unpaid workers the membership roll en-
bracing many Of the prominent, publie-sprited
and sympathetic in commonwealth.
The division is divided eleven branches which
placed in strategic positions the handling OF
sectional charitable needs along
lines Of life brighter better
and happier Tor distressed men, women and children.
These branches work in harmony with each other
and also with the other charitable organizations 10
end that there may be crossing and dupica
tion Of work
The Sunshine Society is in to the people
o. State It has been in operation for twenty
years and there is no telling what wealth OF good It
has done in city and throughout the rural districts
1t has made appeal for State county or municipal
funds but has supported its activities by means of card
parties social lawn other affairs through
which average income of from $4,000 to $4,000 a
year has been realized
While work among the benefit OF the blind
has been the socetys specially il has not contented it
self with that but spread sunshine here there and

its outstanding achievements year were the raising
of s11oo for work blind babes IS 900 for emer-

$3.50 for flowers and books for persons who were

What the society wants now is permanent home in
which It's accumulated equipment may be housed and
!. whence its beneficial activities may radiate We be-
aeve it will It, largely of its past record
and plans for the There question that
that it put to splendid use when
it has received it from public that cannot fail to ap
preciate the humane work Of the 500 volunteers.

EDITORIAL OPINION

OF that day turned to follyf In his
message to Congress of December,
1914, the President gave five reasons
why the United States should go out
and get for itself an ocean-carrying
merchant fleet. These reasons were
accepted as sound by the Democratic
majorities in the House and the Sen
ate. What excuse can a Democratic
Representative or Senator who voted
for the Wilson shipping legislation
have for refusing the minor relief
which President Harding now wants
to give to privately owned ships in
order to stop the enormous operat-
ing losses to the government?
We have a surplus fleet, created
by the war and by Democratic
craftsmanship. Something must be
done to end an Improbable semi
monopoly, eating deeper and deeper
into the Treasury. Mr.. Harding Of
fers one plan of reorganization. II
they reject it the Democrats in Con-
gress owe the country an alternative
rescue project. They should be
ashamed to say simply: 1--WE built
the fleets of ships which now are
rusting at anchor or which the gov
eminent is running at a loss. Yet
we have nothing better to suggest
than scrapping them or sinking
them, taking a total loss on our
$4,000, 100000 war marine invest
ment."

FOREIGN LANGUAGES

| AN o1uOOIlC.
From the New York Tribune.
The "Staats-zeitung'' notes with
trepidation that the number OF
school children In the New York
high schools who have elected TO
study German is only 1888, where
as those who have chosen French
number 25.O11 and the students OF
/ Spanish number 3O,532. That such
a state of affairs should distress a
German mind is, ofcourse, obvious.
Is not Germany a much larger coun-
try than Spain, and is not the Ger
man language more important than
Spanish?
The interesting thing however, is
not that there are so few students
OF German as that there are so many
of Spanish. During the last few
years the prestige of Spanish has
greatly risen. and II has been Gus
tomary to say that a knowledge Of
that language could not but be valu-
able to any one going into any bust
ness that might involve dealings
with South America.
That so many pupils are studying
this language is therefore not only
a testimony of the wide spread of
this belief but offers a promise of
better relations with the Latin
American countries In the future
An acquaintance with Spanish ac-
quired in high school of course is
not sufficient. But at least it fur
nishes a foundation upon which a
later and better knowledge can be
built. It thus prepares the way for |
overcoming one of the most serious |
barriers in the way of international |
Intercourse. Americans in particu- |
lar have been too Indifferent to the
Importance of language in foreign |
trade. Anything that goes TO dispel |
this Indifference is of ultimate bene- |
ft to all concerned.

Surfaces May Dry Up Reuenues
From the New York Herald

Secretary Of the Treasury Mellon
is not the kind of man and public
officer that contents himself with
merely having lucid grasp Of the
fundamentals Of scientific and sue
cessful taxing. He stands up and
tells the straight truth about II
whether it is popular or not. He
urges the truth upon Congress, al
though Congress may be afraid to
look it I'm the face.
The Government needs more rev.
enue, hundreds of millions OF dol
lars more. 1t needs it because its
tax receipts have been fading out.
But Secretary Mellon does not be-
lieve the way to get more revenue
is to increase taxes already so high
that they are curbing industrial ac-
tivity and thereby drying up the
sources of taxes by diminishing the
taxable earnings of industry.
Secretary Mellon does not believe
1t is good business for the tax col
lecting bfreau of the Government
or good business for the country to
continue surtaxes that drive capital
away from active investments, like
factories, into inactive investments,
like tax exempt Federal. State and
municipal bonds. And he says so.
Secretary Mellon says more than
that. He says the way to get more
revenue is to cut the surfaces that
are now driving capital away from
taxable investments. He wants
Congress to act on that basis with
the existing surtax rates. Then cap

single force, he contributed to the
victory by his pugnacity. his never
failing courage and resource. and his
optimism. He was literally the
"'Tiger of FRANCE" fighting through
death and destruction to victory al
the last gasp. His sweep of paw was
majestic as he thrust incompetents
out of power, smashed the plots and
counterplots of petty politicians, and
thrust victory-makers TO the front
After having held the allies to-
gether until America came in, and
after having made victory certain by
pushing Foch to the supreme com
mand, Clemenceau had another bat
tie of a different kinda contest
with President Wilson of the United
States and Prime Minister Lloyd
George of England. This was a bat
tie which deeply concerned the
United States on account of the at
tempt TO entangle this country per-
in Europe's politics.
Americans do not know the details
of that struggle. If N. Clemenceau
will enlighten them upon those de-
tails they will listen TO him with
close attention and with gratitude
for the truths that he may unfold.
NJ. Clemenceau, of all men. is best
fitted to speak regarding the making
OF the Treaty of Versailles. He is its
coauthor. He knows why the treaty
was not shaped differently. He can
tell why the victory of the allies
was not cemented in the treaty. He
can reveal what pressure. and from |
what source, was exerted upon the
peace conference to deny the equal |
ty OF nations and the rights OF small |
nations. He can give the true in
wardness of the League of Nations
covenant and the part It played in
iistorting the vision OF those states

BASED upon the Victory of free gov
over autocraey.
These are the matters upon which )
