dred, to attend the meeting of the
Republican County Committee and

port that when buyers of the prop
critics ask for three-year fire insur-
ance policies on the dwellings, the
Greenfield firm send back five-year
policies, and insists on payment for
the extra two years.
Such treatment of the Gardens
purchasers" said Mr.. Young, lis
outrageous. Some of the buyers have
been struggling to pay for their
homes, and to compel them to put
out the money for a five instead of
three years is an added hardship.
According to the local representa-
tive of an insurance company. fire
insurance policies are being issued
by the Greenfield firm on buildings
at the Gardens that are in violation
of Delaware State laws. This repre-
sentative has a policy on a Gardens"
home which he contends is proof of
his contentious.
Four separate alleged violations OF
the State insurance statutes are
cited by him. First, he contends.
the policy in question has been taken
out with a company which has not
been admitted to do business in
Delaware; second, the policy VIC
lates the resident agent clause of
the laws, having been countersigned
in Philadelphia and not by a resi-
dent agent OF this State; third. Del
aware has a modified form of val
ued policy law which applies to fire
insurance covering real property.
whereas the policy issued on the
las no agreed val |
uation, and fourth. the policy form !
contains an 80 per cent. reduced |
rate contribution clause which is |
not used in Delaware on dwellings
and is contrary to the rules of the
Middle Department of the Fire In
surance Underwriters Association. |
In support of his contentious the !
local agent quotes from Section SIS /
of the Insurance laws of Delaware
as follows:
1T shall not be lawful for any
person to act within this State as
agent or otherwise in receiving or
applications, or in any
manner directly or indirectly TO aid
in transacting the business OF
insurance permitted by this chapter
without first obtaining from the In
surance Commissioner State
license. under the penalty. upon
Of being guilty OF a 'mis-
demeanor, and subject TO a fine or
or both, at the dis
erection of the court"
Such a license. the local repre-
sentative declared today. has not
been taken for the insurance COM
pany issuing policies through the
firm.

HOPE FOR CLUBHOUSE
AT CITY GOLF LINKS

Starting next week, an active
campaign will get under way for
securing more members for the
Municipal Golf Course Association.
Plans have been made by the COM
mittee in charge for the past few
weeks for increasing the size of the
organization.
Funds secured by the additional
membership will be devoted to max
ing a number of improvements on
the course. Changes to several Of
the holes. the addition of several
new holes and the erection Of a club
house are some of the things pro-
posed with the additional funds.
One feature that has developed
that has helped the association is
that several persons who made loans
to the association, have allowed this
money to be applied to memberships
With the crack professional Alec
Douglas on the course, there is no
reason why the Porter Reservoir site
should not be one of the best known
in the East. as CObb's Greek course
in Philadelphia.

a great noise I'm an effort to brighter
his enemy in hope that he may
avoid fighting.
"All Germany knows this and
there is no danger of the Kaiser
ever coming back to Berlin. The
German people are cured forever of
royalty but. Of course. there are a
certain number of royallsts in Ger
many who will remain royalists as
long as they live. Nothing can
change them and they will make a
noise as long as breath remains in
their bodies. but they are an entire
~ inconsequential minority. The
greatest OF this proof was i'm the
kapp coup when his royalist rule
in Berlin was utterly destroyed by
the silent protest Of the people
through the only effective general
strike ever known in history. The
whole people OF Berlin simply stop-
ped dead in their tracks and Kapp
found himself the ruler of a dead
city without food, water, light or
any OF the necessities of life. So
FAR history has failed to appreciate
the tremendous significance of this
great event which 1 am sure mark
ed the final end of organized roval-
ist activity in Germany.
The truth about the war was
that 1t was a war brought on nv
towards who were afraid to face
the economic facts and the social
conditions which surrounded them.
Before they. realized what they had
done they had gone so far that thew
would not draw back from the in
eVItable results which they them
selves feared more than anyone
else.
The world should know this and
the world should know that tho
last thing possible in Germany is
the return OF the Kaiser. wish III
could make this statement public at
this time but there are obvious rea-
sons why II would be unwise."
The statements made by DR..
Rathenau in his interview reveal
his true attitude toward the situa-
lion in Germany and make perfectly
clear the hatred held for him by |
The royalists.
