FAST airy war-mon-
gering social-democratic daily,
the Jewish Forward.
Mikhols held forth on the So
Wet Union. He told how Anti
Semitism was a thing of the
past. He told of the emergence
into nationhood of formerly per-
secuted minorities. Tale after
tale he told = and each time ne
made statement, the editor of
the Forward would shake his
head vigorously and mutter:
1T amt true - it is a lie"
When Mikhols spoke of the
wiping out of race prejudice, the
Forward editor muttered:
1T amt true"
AND THE same concerning
every statement Mikhols made.
Finally, Mikhols leaned over and
tapped the Forward editor on the
knee.
MY friend =" Mikhols said.
"Yes?"
81 would like" MikhoIs told
the social-democratic editor gent
ly, ito tell you one more story,
and I would like your opinion on
a decision it involves. Would you
permit me-"
"Of course" said the social-de-
mocrat. What is one story, more
or leSs?"
sTT HAPPENED on a ship that
was crossing the Atlantic" Mix
hols began. "It happened to me
- in a dream. A very vivid
dream, a very horrible dream.
You don't mind my telling you a
dream?"
Not at ALL" said the social
democrat calamity.
well, as I said Mikhols went
on, Il dreamt that 1 was on 9
ship crossing the Atlantic Ocean,
My wife and my mother were
with me, and, as you may well
believe, l loved them both dear
ly. Then a great storm arose =
terrible storm, and a sudden
crash of lightning split the ship
asunder. l found myself swim
ming in the water. And there,
only a few yards from me, were
both my wife and my mother.
Save me- each cried. Save met
"Yet as much as 1 loved them
both of them, the woman who
/ was married to and the woman
who bore me and nurtured me =
as much as loved them. I knew
that | could not save both. I
knew that my strength was equal
to the task of saving only one.
Do you see my predicament? One
OF them had to drown. Which |
should it be - my wife or my
mother?'
THE SOCIAL DEMOCRATIC |
editor shook his head sympathe-
tically. He was already caught |
up in the poignancy of the prob |
lem.

Are, Sin, Disease, and Death
Real ?" Golden Text: Proverbs IL:
%. In the way of righteousness is
life; and in the pathway thereof
there is no death. A Bible cita-
ton from the lesson-sermon is: /
Chron. 16: 8, 10, %, 27. Give
thanks unto the Lord, call upon his
name, make known his deeds
among the people. Glory ye in his
holy name; let the heart of them
rejoice that seek the Lord. Sing
unto the oLrd, all the earth; shew
forth from day to day his saliva
tion. Glory and honour are in his
presence; strength and gladness
are in his place. A correlative
passage from the Textbook "Sci-
ence and Health with Key to the
Scriptures" by Mray Baker Eddy
is: Up. 1861. There is neither a
present nor an eternal copartner-
ship between error and Truth, be-
tween flesh and Spirit. God is as
incapable of producing sin, sick
ness, and death as He is of exper-
iencing these errors. How then is
it possible for Him to create man
subject to this triad of errors
man who is made in the divine
likeness?

rich soprano voice which she has
perfectly at her command. Her
range was clear and high. with a
sweetness of tone that appealed to
all her hearers. Miss Hanson's
contralto voice blended in pleasing
harmony in all of the trios and

The re-appearance of Mr.. James
Morrison on our Opera House stage
again, was received with applause.
He is a capital tenor singer and
was encored at every appearance.
His solo, 1.-The Old Red Cradle"
made happy hit.
After the concert a few of our
young people at the request of
Prof. C. Virgil Gordon, met in the
parlors of the Delaware House to
meet the singers. The evening was
pleasantly spent, in music and So

chorus singing of "'The Old Folks

of Prof. Shelley's violin and the

thrilled the hearts of every one

SMYRNA. AND VICINITY
DEMOCRATIC MEETING
LAST NIGHT


The Democrats held a good sized
meeting at the Opera House last
evening, B. A. HAZEL presiding.
James w. Spruance, Jacob Lem
berger, VIM. B. Collins, w. d.
Hazel and Wilson T. Cavender had
seats on the platform as vice presi-
dents. The speakers were r. R.
Kenney, Esq, of Dover, and A. S.
Goldsborough, Esq, of Centreville,
Md, occupying the time between
eight and ten o'clock. Mr.. Kenney,
the first speaker announced his
conversion to the free coinage doc
trine, held the domonitization of
silver in '73 responsible for the
hard times, and closed with an ap-
peal to "Old Duck Creek" to dc
its duty as the banner hundred OF
the party in Kent county.
Mr.. Goldsborough on being in
troduced was received with consid-
cradle applause. He said that he
Gid not know why this should be
unless it was like similar meet
ing held in Baltimore, when the
chairman interposed to explain the
situation; that they had gone to
sleep under a preceding speaker,
and they had given round of ap-
plause in the start lest they might
act similarly with his speech and
neglect to intersperse it with prop
er applause. But Mr.. Goldsbor-
ough did not let them go to sleep;
he was at times earnest to vocifer-
alton, and knew how with voice
and gesture to get the attention
of his audience. He asserted in
the start his full assurance in the
benefit of free silver, illustrating 1t
in kindergarten style, held that the
evil days had commenced with the
decentralization of silver in '73 and
had grown steadily worse, charac-
terized candidates Palmer and Nc
Kinley as being with the classes as
against the masses, and ended with
glowing tribute to Bryan whom

Providence to be their leader to

A SPLENDID CONCERT
The concert given under the aus
pices of the Kings Daughters
Monday night was one of the finest
ever heard in this town and it was
unfortunate that it had to be given
on such a stormy night. However,
the Kings Daughters made enough
advance sale of tickets to clear ex-
penses. The star of the evening
was Prof. Albertus Shelley, the
noted violinist, and such treat as
he gave the Smyrna people will
hardly be forgotten for many a
day. Seldom, if ever, have our
citizens heard more expressive,
classical music brought out of a
violin. He was encored at every
appearance and showed himself a
true master of his instrument.
Prof. C. Virgil Gordon, our gifted
townsman, accompanied Prof. Shell
ley, and it Is needless to say that
his appearance before his own
home people was greatly applaud
ed. Smyrna is proud of the talent
that is displayed in Prof. Gordon,
and he always receives a warm
welcome in their midst.
The evenings entertainment was
greatly enjoyed by the addition of
vocal duets and solos, and if one
may judge from the encores they
received they were most highly ap-
preciated. Surely more accommod-
ating singers never visited Smyr-
ma. They were always ready and
willing when called again before

Scarce In Surplus Lists

Prospective purchasers OF jeeps

few new vehicles available, the Sur
plus Property Administration ad-
mitted today.
The agency said a recent ssmpling
of surplus vehicles showed that more
than 54 per cent required repairs,
SO per cent were not even usable
as vehicles and only 81 per cent
were new.
In addition, SPA said the proper
ton of vehicles in poor condition
will continue to increase in Govern
ment inventories since they sell at a
slower rate.
In December the Government sold

Reich Wherry Says
In Asking Inquiry.

The Senate today had before it &
resolution offered by Senator Wher.
ry, Republican, of Nebraska for ar
investigation of the feeding of the
German population. The resolution
was offered yesterday, when Senator
Wherry declared the administration
is following "a deliberate starvation
policy in Germany"
'The terrifying truth is," he TOLD
the Senate. that if evidence arriy-
ing from Europe even approximates
the truth, the American people have
been made accomplices in the crime
of mass starvation"
The issue, Senator Wherry said
sis not political, 1t is not a question
of hard or soft peace, it is not q
question of transportation, it Is not
question of fawning before the
veto power of Russia or France OF
Britain; it is a question of America s
honor and the basic humanitarian
impulses of the American people"
Horrible Condition.
Senator Eastland, Democrat, Of
Mississippi. said many Of them ar.
in an absolutely horrible condi.
ton" He said this country should
try to get other zones supervised by
England, Russia and France to par
ticipate in a relief program.
The resolution offered by Senator
Wherry also was sponsored by Sen.
ators Capehart, Indiana; Hawkes.
New Jersey; Hickenlooper, Iowa
Taft, Ohio, and Willis, Indiana, al
Republicans, and Senator LaFol.
lette, Progressive, of Wisconsin.
The resolution asserted that Con.
gress had been by-passed and the
American people have been ignored
in the formulation and carrying oui
of policies regarding the feeding o.
conquered peoples in Europe.

sonal advisers and Investigators O
the President" Senator WherrN
said, concur the judgment that 6
major tragedy is rapidly develop.
ing in Germany. But in answer te
a rising chorus of pleas for inter
cession and action the admins
tration has excused its 'do-nothing
policy on the following grounds:
The President told me thai
UNRRA was doing the job. But
am assured by Government au.
thorities that UNRRA is feeding
only the displaced persons in Ger.
many and Austria. Gov. Lehman
Herbert H. Lehman, director gen.
eral of the United Relief and Re
habilitation Administration has re.
Gently admitted that with all tn.
billions of dollars we have appro.
priated for UNRRA, mass starva.
tion cannot be averted this winter
in Germany.
Time and again the administra
ton had advanced the excuse tha
transportation facilities were lack
ing, but for months scores of ship
have been lying idle in both East
ern and European ports. So it /
not a question of the lack of ships.
Adequate Transportation.
He said further that surplus truck
and jeeps now idle in Europe as
sure adequate transportation If tn
administration would only give tn
word.

the report made last September t,

in the report, ut is within th'
