The ser7.ce men and women are
dcc--IJ grateful for the way you have
.ood by US, fought for US, and in the
face of a great well-fnanced attack,
by what we can not help but feel to be
sordid and selfish opposition, refused
to desert your convictions for the
right. Those whom you represent ap-
preciate your high stand. The nation
is behind us all in this fight and no
one can continue to present the peo-
ple's wishes from being carried out
in a republic.
We have only begun this battle. We
are right and right always prevails in
America.
At out National convention next
month the Adjusted Compensation
legislation will be endorsed more
strongly than ever. The American
Legion is more unanimous and strong
er in its conviction of the justice of
this legislation than ever before. You

CHANGING NATURE.

The British Government Is spending

not finishid I'm time TO be of use. The
purpose of the tower is interesting.
1t was to be one of Is which were
TO be towed out and sunk in shallow
places in the English channel to serve
as watch and defense towers. mount
ing guns for use against submarines.
This was one OF tho devices called
out by the need of war. Some of the
many plans and inventions were
used: witness the depth bomb which
proved so effective. Others came too
to remind us that man has in his
power to change nature tremendously
for his own ends.
| During the war the English channel
became the eternal question OF life
or death. Often and often 1t had beer

BALTIMORE's DUAL COUNCIL.

The city of Baltimore for many
years has adhered TO tho old bicameral
system In its local legislative body.
with q City Council composed OF two
branches. Years ago. this system was
generally prevalent In American cities.
but nearly all have abandoned It In
favor OF tho unlcameral system of
only ono Council. Pennsylvania cities
held on to their Select and Common
Councils until recent years. but now
they are under the single body system.
For some time Mayor Broenig OF
Baltimore has been conducting cam
palgn for the adoption of tho uni
cameral system in that city. but he
has met with no encouragement from
the existing bodies. This week the
law committee OF the First Branch
of Council unanimously defeated n
resolution for single body OF %
members TO take the place OF the two
Councils.
II is probable, however. the question
may be submitted TO the voters OF
the city for their judgment. A bod,
known as the City-wide Congress ha,

| entity there is no hope OF the doubl,

ward. but Il Is deemed advisable {

lstion. But IN respect OF city admins
tration IL is generally conceded ths

more advantageous In promoting 800

COSTLY CROP FAILURE.

The extent and effect Of tho failure
Of the pea crop IN Sussex county wns
demonstrated during the past few
days by the quick ending OF tho pea
canning industry IN the large can
nerios of that county. Tho Seaford
canneries, whose products in this
line alone run up TO moro than a
hundred thousand cases OF canned
peas, this year canned only a few
thousands each. The canning season
for peas this season lasted only about
a week.
This year the pea crop in lower
Delaware encountered unusual diff
flculties. 1t was delayed by unduly
heavy rains and then practically de-
stroyed by the ravages of tho pea
louise. The havoc caused by this mis-
cradle pest was enormous.
However. while this loss cannot be
made UP, there Is room for profit ir
other crops. Delaware farmers hav,
variety OF crops under cultivation
and no longer make the mistake o
depending upon only a few. May al
the other crops OF the year be pro
| lffic and profitable.

that there has been the lack Of con

pends almost entirely upon tho
