RACIAL MEINORTTFES DARKEN HORIZON OF
 PEACE FOR EUROPE
By JOSEPH E. SHARkEY ca. p. correopondent)

GENEVA, Jan. 16.-The worlds climb toward 1929 will encounter a mountainous obstacle, observers believe, in the problem of Euro pean minorities.
 This somewhat ambiguous word "minorities" means the millions of persons who became residents of countries where the majority is of a different race when Europe was re-caryed after the war.
 In 8 sense the "minorities" have been annexed to countries to which normally they do not be- long.
 A recent instance of the agita- ton resulting from the minority system is the demand of citizens in Budapest and some other cities in Hungary that a revision be made of the treaty of Trianon, the document which contains the terms of peace between the allies and Hungary. Resolutions q dopt Q d charged that Jugoslayia, Rouman- ia and Czechoslovakia were not fulfilling obligations contracted by them concerning the protection of the rights of minorities.

Deprived of Riahts

It was stated that 3,500,00O Mag vars living in these countries had been deprived of their personal and property rights; that they were restricted in the exercise of their religious and linguistic privi- leges, and that politically and eco- nomically they were oppressed and perseeuted.
 This being so, insist the resolu- which have reached Geneva -it become evident that the treaty of Trianon can never be a basia of order, peace and democratic progress; hence it should be re- modelled The League is asked to take the necessary steps in consonance with article l9 of the covenant, which provides that the assembly may advise the rsconsid- eration of treaties which have be- come inapplicable and the consid- eration of international conditions whose continuance might endanger the peace of the world It is to this article that many Germans at tach their hopes for an eventual revision of the treaty of Versailles.
 League Instruments
 International instruments con- taining stipulations for the protee- tion Of minorities placed under the guarantee of the League of Ma tions are of the following classes:
 1. Special treaties signed at Paris during the peace conference.
 ?. Special chapters inserted in the general treaties of peace.
 3. Declarations made before the League council.
 4. Conventions between inter- ested states.
 But briefly, the general princi- pie underlying all these agree ments is that minorities shall be given the same treatment as the regular population. If they feel aggrieved. they may appeal to the council of the League. However, minorities are themselves bound to cooperate as loyal fellow citizens with the nations to which they legally belong.
 History of Protection
 The history of the protection of minorities goes back to early ages. In 1572 King Charles TX of France in treaty with Queen Elizabeth undertook that no English subject should be molested as to his per son or property "by the inquisitors of otherwise on account of the re- ligion accepted in England, while the right of minorities to freedom was expressed in the French revo- lution declaration of the rights or man which demands religious tel erance and liberty Of thought.
 There is an American interest attached to this problem of minor tiles. Recently movement was inaugurated to clarify the regula- tions of the council and determine whether it should ask for advisory

TRAVELLERS AID DOES
MUCH GOOD WORK
Strangers In State Given Assistance
When Needed.

e. P. Bardo, recently elected pres
ident of the Travellers Aid Society,
which operates throughout the State
of Delaware, in caring for the trav-
elers and transients, states that one
of the many things that impresses
him with the society is the number
of people served and the amount of
good that is accomplished in such a
modest budget. The society is dis
tinct in its service, and does not
overlap the work of any other
agency. Travellers Aid is thorough
and arganized assistance for travel
ers and transients who need infor-
nation, counsel, protection or mate
rial aid.
AS the popularity of all means of
transportation increases and as the
numerous industrial and commercial
concerns locate in our midst, many
more serious social problems are
brought to us. Among the transients
are countless men, women, and
young people seeking employment.
They usually travel on a shoe-string
margin, believe that work is obtain
able upon application, and that they
will be paid Immediately and in time
to prevent actual need. When this
belief fails to materialize, the tran
sient is soon without funds which
makes him stranded person. A

Travellers Aid workers, "a man

Among Those Hurt At SeafOrd.

Several persons were injured at
Seaford on Halloween night, when
Thomas Dose, colored, dropped a
gun which had been used on one of
the floats in the Halloween parade
in that town. Among those injured
were seven members of the Milford
Boys Band, who had participated in
the parade. One little girl, Peggy
Watson, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
M. L. Watson, of that town, may lose
her eye as a result of being struck
by some of the shot.
OF the others injured two were
Milford. They were:
John Jewell, 16, shot in the tenn
pie, arm and leg, and William Der
rickson, shot in the right leg.
Others, whose wounds were treat
ed by Seaford physicians and who

Sen. BAYARD SILENT
ON HIS CANDIDACY
Refuses To Comment On Seek
Ing Seat In United States
Senate Again.

Former United States Senator
Thomas F. Bayard has apparently
assumed the silent" qualifications OF
former President Calvin Coolidge,
for he still refuses to state whether
or not he intends to make a fight
next year to recover the seat which
he lost at the election last Novem-
ber. Senator Bayard was a visitor at
the Capital in Washington Saturday.
He visited the floor of the U. S. Sen
ate and met many of his former col
leagues.
Former Senator Bayard, who has
been widely discussed as a possible
candidate in the Senatorial cam
paign next year, was silent on the
subject but expressed a keen inter
est in Delaware politics. Whether he
will oppose Josiah Marvel, who is
making an active campaign for the
Democratic nomination, is apparent
ly not known to even his close per-
sonal friends.
While the former Senator is mum
on the subject of his own candidacy
he is evidently keeping in close
touch with political activities in both
parties. Friends of Senator Bayard
in Washington claim that he would
make a strong candidate, but some
of them do not believe that he will
get into the fight unless eJh0iLfons
change Latween now and next year.
A representative ef the Democratic
NatioraI GommtTtee who had heard
that the former Delaware Senator
was a visitor at the capital, express
ed the hope that he would get into
the fight.

SEVERAL HURT WHEN
AUTOMOBILES COLLIDE
Ten Year-Old Boy In HOspital-Mil-
ford Folks Cut And Bruised.

Elmer Graham, ten-year-old boy
of Rising Sun, is in the Kent General
Hospital at Dover, and several Mil
ford residents are nursing cuts and
bruises as a result of an automobile
accident early last Sunday evening.
The crash occurred just about dark
near the Wildfiower Tea House, four
miles south of Dover. Three auto
mobiles figured in the accident and
occupants of each car were injured.
The Graham boy was riding with
George Thompson, also of Rising
Sun, when their car ran out of gas.
They got out and started to push the
car along the road to nearby fill
ing station. William G.. Sammons, of
Milford, accompanied by his wife and
Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Davis, also of
this town, drove up in back of the
car and were following slowly in the
rear, when a car driven by l.. ]. Mat
thews, who was accompanied by his
wife, ran into it. The force of the
crash drove the Sammons car into
the car ahead and the Graham boy
was hit. He was taken to the hos
pital where his injuries are said to
be serious. Mrs. Sammons and Mrs.
Davis, who were ON the rear seat of
the Sammons automobile, were Sc
verely cut by flying glass and other
wise shaken up. Mr.. Sammons and
Mr.. Davis suffered from shock. Mrs.
Matthews was cut about the face.
Both of the Milford cars were Sc
verely damaged Following the ac-
cident Mr.. Matthews was held under
81 900 bail by Magistrate Ridgly, OF
Camden, to await the result of the
injuries of those in the accident.

FORMER JUDGE MARVEL
CELEBRATES BIRTHDAY
Sponsor OF Many Laws In Delaware
Greeted By Many Admirers.

Former Judge David T. Marvel, of
Wilmington, quietly observed his
18th birthday anniversary Saturday.
He received many kilograms and let
ters congratulating him on the oc-
casion of his birthday anniversary.
Judge Marvel has always been ac-
tive in the interest of the State, hav-
ing sponsored some of the important
laws on the statute books. He spon-
sored the law probating first and
youthful offenders and the recon-
mendation for free school books for
the public schools. He was also ac-
tive in the enactment of other laws.
He wrote and published the first ed
itorial advocating the establishing
by the State of public schools for col
ored children.
In 1894 he was appointed judge for
a life term. Under the new Consti-
tuition, however, the term ended in
1897. Since then he has been en-
gagged in the law profession in Will
mington. He served as Secretary of
State in 1892. He was chairman of
the Commission of Delaware for re-
lief in Belgium, and was awarded a
gold medal by the Belgian govern
ment for his services.
Judge Marvel, who is an alumnus
of Princeton, and the Harvard Law
School, is still interested in his
schools. He was president of his
class at Princeton, captain of the
football team and manager of the
baseball team.

81 COWS DIE In FIRE
AT MIDDLETOWN
Cattle Had Been Brought From West
For Public Sale.

Thirty-two head of cattle perished
in a fire Friday at Middletown that
destroyed the bazaar and sales
stables of Jacob and Harry Rudnick.
Both the large stables and the shed
were practically destroyed.
Rudnick Bros, who are cattle deal
ers, recently bought this herd of es-
pecially fine cattle in the west and
they only arrived in Middletown sew
eral days ago and were placed in
the sales-stables. They planned to
have a public sale of the cattle later
this month.
The fire which started in the hay
loft was of undetermined origin. A
large quantity of hay and straw was
also burned. The loss is placed at
from $4,000 to $4,000, partly COW
cred by insurance.
Four fire companies, Middletown,
Townsend, Smyrna and Odessa
fought the blaze for two hours. Most
of this time they had six lines of
hose playing water on the blaze.
The fire which started apparently
in the hay spread so rapidly that it
was impossible to get the cattle, or
in fact any of the contents, out. Sew
eral nearby business houses fearing
the blaze would spread to their prop
critics, moved much of their stock to
a safe distance.

NANTICOKES CALLED
TO COUNCIL FIRE
Old Time Ceremonial. Including
War Dance, Will Be Seen On
Thanksgiving Day.

The Nanticoke Indians of the Eas-
tern Shore of the Delaware Bay are
at the present time preparing to hold
an annual council fire at which many
of the old time dances, including the
war dance, will be present in their
settlement, near Millsboro. These In
dians have now taken to the ways of
the white man and cultivate farms
along the Indian River.
Chief Seagull (Ferdinand Clark
has set Thanksgiving Day as the
time for the great council fire. He is
the eat-great-grandson of Nau-
gwack-Wa Oydia H. Clarke) the last
of the Nanticoke tribe who wore the
dress of her tribe and spoke its
language.
From the reservations in Virginia,
this year will come Chief Nantau-
eau, High Chief of the Powhattan
Confederacy and also chief of the
Cheeahominy C and Chief George F..
Castaton of the Rappahanocks and
Chief James johnson, of Baltimore.
They will bring with them about cne
hundred braves and squaws. Chief
War Eagle of the Delaware Tribe,
Oklahoma, Chief Oxindine Of the
Cherokees; Dorelix Amaf, now liv-
ing in Baltimore, whose father was
chief of the Cow Tribe and direct
descendant of Chief Great Bear and
Field Chief Robert H. Clark of New
York, will be some of the notables in
the gathering.
There will be not only Indian
chiefs at the celebration but men,
famous for their work in anthropol
ogy like Professor Frank G.. Speck,
Davidson, instructor in anthropology
at the University of Pennsylvania
and Professor A. Irving Hollowell.
Brilliant in their native costumes
and warpaint and feathers, the in
dians will dance about the council
fires, chant their songs, make much
talk, and smoke the pipe of peace. st
the opening of the afternoon cere-
monies, the Indians in single file,
enter the great clearing in the pic
turesque grove of the Nanticokes and
circle with in the enclosure, where
only the guests and the natice In
dians are grouped. The braves alone
will take part in this impressive well
coming dance which is much like the
Virginia Reel.
The squaw dance is colorful and
graceful. The Round Dance, rather
but enjoyable to the
dancers attracts squaws and braves.
The most grotesque numbers are re-
served for night when the flaming
fires add to the scene.
The turkey dance, solo, has al
ways been done by Chief Seagull.
Now, perhaps, he will pass the honor
to younger brave.
Other attractive dances are the
snake dance, the duck dance and the
harvest dance. At midnight the fare
we'll dance is the signal for the clos
ing of the pow-wow. This year, as
at all former Thanksgiving celebra-
tions, the affair will end with an old
fashioned coon hunt.

PLAN DEDICATION
OF NEW CHURCH
Corner Stone Laying To Take Place
November Gath.

The new Methodist Episcopal
church in Slaughter Neck is nearly
completed, and the dedication and
corner stone laying will take place,
Sunday, November oath, 1929, at
which time plans are being made to
have the largest gathering of the
people ever known in Elaughter
Neck. The church stands along the
new concrete highway leading from
Milford to Rehoboth, and in front of
the old church, which was built IS
years ago.
The building committee of this
church congregation, planned the
church and proceeded to build it,,
without asking for subscriptions
from the public, until after it is COM
pleted. Each trustee becoming re-
sponsible for the cost of building and
equipment. This has expedited the
work of building, and now, when the
work is nearly finished, the builders
have planned to have a dedication
service at which men and women
from far and near, will be asked to
be present, or send liberal subscrip-
tions in the form of checks, to assist
in doing their part in rehabilitating
the church of their native home in
old Sussex county.
The public is invited to be present
at this great assembly of the people
of northeastern Sussex county, when
a Christian church will be dedicated
to the service of God. 1t will be a
wonderful opportunity to renew old
friendships, for those who live in
distant places, and a tightening of
the realization of moral Christian re-
sponsibilities, which we all owe to
community.
In the far western states many
Delawareans reside, and many had
their homes in and near Slaughter
Neck sector of Sussex. To these an
opportunity is offered to show their
love for their old home, by helping
to wipe out the debt remaining,
which is about $4,000, and it will be
welcome.
In 1855 Samuel Draper decided to
the trustees of Slaughter Neck the
land and in 1856 the first church was
built thereon. The cemetery laid out
adjoining it, containing half-an-acre
of land, was purchased from Amos
Bennett. The plot of land on which
the new church stands, is that land
lying between the old dirt road and
