Given under my hand and the les

Philadelphia, the sixth day of Aug
ust, in the year of our Lord, 1774.
Copy of the message to the Della
wares, by the Honorable John Penn,
Esquire, governor and commander
in-chief of the province of Pennsyl'
sania, and counties of Newcastle,
Kent and Sussex, on Delaware:
A message to the chiefs and war
riors of the Delaware Indians:
Brethren:-I was grieved at my
heart when l heard that some of our
foolish young men had killed our
brother, Joseph Wipey, and that the
Virginians had killed some of your
people below Fort Pitt / was fear
full that you would suffer some of
your young men to take revenge up
on our innocent people, but when l
heard that you had a good heart,
and viewed these things in their
bered the chain of friendship made
by our forefathers, and would not
take revenge upon us for what the
Virginians or some of. our foolish
young men had done, it gave me the
greatest satisfaction and made my
mind easy.
Brethren, you may depend that SO
long as you are inclined to peace and
friendship you shall find me in the
same mind, for why should we fall
out and go to numbering one anoth-
er for what our foolish young men
do, and what neither of us approve
Of?
In such cases, let us endeavor to
find out such foolish young men and
punish them for their wickedness.
l have offered a reward of SO pounds
apiece for those two wicked people,

Cooperation He|dKey
To Traffic Safety
By Maj. Brown
Gives Dotu on Toll
In Dupont Circle
Citizens Talk

Full cooperation of motorists and
pedestrians, police and citizens is
needed to curtail traffic accidents
In the District, Maj. Ernest w.
Brown, superintendent of police,
told members of the Dupont Circle
Citizens Association at a meeting
yesterday afternoon in the May
flower Hotel.
Several reasons were given as
to possible causes of traffic accidents
and fatalities. He cited the speed
and getaway of the new stream
lined street cars as a possible
factor as well as children or 4
years old without adult supervision
Maj. Brown said that in 1887
children under IA were involved in
1,l03 accidents while in 1888 1016
have been recorded, only a slight
decrease. He praised the schoolboy
patrol system for doing a splendid
job in safeguarding school children.
Referring again to the street cars,
Maj. Brown said that in 1887, 80
people were struck as compared to
rs this year.
Compares Fatalities by Years.
Other traffic figures given in 1887,
l09 traffic deaths were recorded
while to date 81 have been listed:
9,l22 accidents at intersections last
year as compared to 1882 this wear

year and 1852 this year.
Speaking on crime, Maj. Brown
gave figures revealing that in the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1887,
1O,572 crime offenses were recorded
as against 8,748 for the past fiscal
year, decrease of 1924. In the
third precinct, the area covering
the Dupont Circle Association, 1871
crimes were listed last year and
1852 this year, decrease of 439.
Maj. Brown said crime was not as
serious in Washington as in some
other cities, although in the last
few years there had been slight
increase.
To David A. Pine, District At
torney, Maj. Brown gave much of
the credit for the expediency of
crime cases in the District courts.
The courts in turn, he added, have
been helpful in imposing justifiable
sentences in efforts to curb crimi-
nails
Discussing youth and crime Maj.

offenses were recorded for youths
under II years of age. This figure
was the prime factor in the organ
ization of the Police Boys Club,
which today boasts of five clubs and
a total membership of 10,700.
Since the organization of these
clubs four years ago, a reduction
of 44.9 in juvenile delinquency has
been noted, he said.
Hopes for More Policemen.
Maj. Brown said that the police
force had not grown with the devel-
opment of the city as regards popu-
lation and increased automobile
traffic, but added that he was in
hopes the Budget Bureau would keep
the Commissioners recommended
tion for so additional policemen in
the 1910 budget estimates. Condi-
tions in general, however, have i'm
proved, he concluded.
Following Maj Browns remarks,
the association approved the Com

missioners' request for so additional
policemen and advocated some kind
OF pedestrian control at congested
intersections.
The only other business was a de-
tailed report given by the chairman
Of the Public Utilities Committee on
the street car and bus system of the
District, with reference to a num-
Der OF proposals regarding the future
safety in operating these vehicles.
The report was turned over to the
chairman Of the Traffic Committee
with the recommendation that the
two committees make detailed
study of the proposals for presenta-
ton at the next meeting.

1t would be lovely if we could re-
gard ourselves immune from war; If
we could be sure that other nations,
regardless of their own plans and poll
cies, would respect the rights and pro-
tect the persons Of our non-combatant
citizens abroad. But history does not
record any great nation that had this
immunity except when it was strong
enough to compel that respect. 80
we have always got to regard war -
a possibility at least, which brings us
to the very practical question Of what
kind of war would cause US the
least damage and the least destruc-
ton.
A big navy is expensive, but q
month of actual warfare nowadays
might easily cost more than the en-
tire price Of the largest navy afloat'
Assuming that, through no fault Of
our own, we should be forced into q
struggle, it would certainly be much
better for US to have that war declu
cd by victory the other side of the
seas than one off our own harbors
That is the military reply to the sug'

navy. On the contrary, the War o.
1912, for instance, would never have
come about had we been big enough
and strong enough to take care OF
England on the seas at that remove
date. We came out of the Civil War
with one Of the strongest navies in
the world. If we hadn't had that ma
Wy, we would have had war with
France when we insisted on the term
nation Of the Macmillan empire in
Mexico. Does anybody suppose that
the colony-hungry powers of Europe
or Asia would have kept out Of the
inviting field of Latin America If it
had not been for the Monroe Doctrine,
with the American navy behind It'll
And yet the Monroe Doctrine has
kept the Western Hemisphere free
from wars of aggression, and probab.
ly from greater wars that would have
resulted over the division Of terri.
torial spoIIs had that aggression been
permitted.
A powerful navy, SO far from being
an incentive to war, is an essential
element in what the president has de-
scribed as the "search for pence"
There used to be certain rules
which distinguished what we call civ.
ilized warfare. These rules, and even
treaties, burn up when countries find
themselves engaged in death strug-
| gle. So twenty years ago, despite the
progress that the world thought it had
made in the advancement of the hum
antics, we saw unfortified cities bonn
barded, civilians slain by bombs, drop
ped from the air, peaceful merchant
men torpedoed, and poison gas estab-
lished as a weapon Of combat.

is a move to lead us into war, theirs
being a curious philosophy that the
way to keep out of national strife
is through meekness and weakness.
China followed that procedure, with
the result that nation OF 4O0,O0O,-
900 people is now being kicked
around by a country having not one
fifth of the population and not one
hundredth of the resources.
In the course of the hearings on
the subject up at the Capitol, there
have been many references to our
having been compelled to get into the
World War. 1t probably does not oe-
cur to those who cite the incident
that had the United States been ade'
quately prepared, and had the Cen
trail European powers known that We
had as large and strong navy Of
any nation on the globe, the episodes
which forced us into that struggle
would probably never have taken
place. 1t was only because of the idea
that the United States Of America
could not become an active paFtici

DIsPELLING THE FOG
By Charles Nicholson

By Charles M1chelson
Because the president sent q mes
sage to congress recommending an in
crease in our naval establishment
that would keep us in pace with tie
bigger armament programs of other
great nations some people and sons
organizations are expressing deep con-
cerA. =
One might think that the president
was advocating this expenditure OF
money for his own qualification. One
group even affects to believe that thl,
Coulee City dispatch. [volume] (Coulee City, Wash.) 19??-19??, 1938-03-10

nant in the transoceanic struggle that
these powers thought they could with
,mpunity tell our commercial vessels
how and where they should go, and
torpedo them without warning, and
perform other acts along those lines.
The genesis OF such message rs
the president sent is ordinarily az
follows: The navy department, 10
ing charged with the duty Of protect
mo our interests on the sea, advises
the president which it deems requisite
in order that it may perform It's du'
ties efficiently in any emergency.
Presumably, that is the story OF TIT
present bill.
With war clouds everywhere, and
nobody knowing when they may be-
gin to discharge their lightnings, il
would not be a comfortable thought
to have our country practically help
less. No truer word was ever spoken
than that classic remark that the sec
ond best navy is no more use than the
second best hand in poker game
In the present combustible state Of
the world a country is likely to have
to fight to preserve its neutrality o.
to defend any other Of it's functions
In the desperation Of war, no more
respect is paid to the rights of neut
rails than the peaceful nations can en-
force. The smaller countries may moi
be able to defend themselves in dir
ect combat, so their only recourse il
to go in on the other side, which, OF
course, means war just as much o.
any other process.
World Trade at Stake
Of course, if big, strong country
like the United States were willing te
abandon its foreign commerce ~.
withdraw any promise of protection
to such of its nationals as 60 into
business abroad, it might escape in
volvement. But, On. the other hand, il
would have to sit down quietly whilt
all the other commercial nations took
the whole of the world g trade, and
incidentally, the whole Of the worlt
prestige.
We have had half dozen najo
wars in our comparatively brief his
tory as a nation, but not one Of then
has been attributable to an oversizet

 q got in touch with Charles A. Jordan, stock and bond salesman well known to me and I told him what the proposition was and that would see to it that he secured a commission if he found a buyer for any portion of the guns and bomb- ing planes that were available.
 Talks to Six People
 "I entered in correspondence and had conversations with six people, two of them women. We did lot of work on the sales campaign :. but though we were on the point of making a deal several times, plans fell through because I could not give the prospective purchaser any satis- factory statement of the identity of the firm with which he was dealing, nor could I positively state where the rifles and bombing planes were stored.
 "At last I gave it up as poor investment of my time and trouble and had nothing more to do with it."
 Canavan said he intended to question at least six other persons in connection with attempts to dis pose of rifles and planes.

 Chairman William Gager of the legal committee submitted report indicating that by the end of this month a revision of the 1880 Water bury charter commission recom- mendation would be ready for the 1899 legislature when 1t meets in Hartford. When it is passed by that body it will be submitted to the citi- zenS of Waterbury at referendum next spring.
 President Harold F. White was authorized by unanimous vote to en- gage the services of a director who will conduct and carry out the de- tails of the educational campaign which will take place early next year. Enthusiastic response is ex- pected for already many citizens have endorsed the determined effort of the association for business-1ike administration of city affairs.

 He cites the harvest season, berry, picking, threshing, and remarks that tobacco farmers habitually employ seasonal labor as well as nearly every other man of affairs not regu- larly engaged in business"
 Upholding the ruling of Judge Inglis, the chief justice finds no error and states of the compensation act that it was intended to include only such employers as hire four or more persons for considerable length of time."

 Importance of the decision was remarked in Waterbury and environs today by various lawyers who be- lieve that the case will serve aa precedent for many similar problems of qualification of employers ot part-time labor under the compen- sation act.
