DELAWARE AND HER DEPARTING TROOPS.
T HOSE Delaware troops who now are on their way to
Anniston, Ala., to bo trained for service on the
western warfront in Europe, lake with them Hie love
and good wishes of the people ofjmr State.
Tho First Infantry Regiment,Organized Militia of Dela
ware, now a fighting unit In Hie regular arjny of the
United States, is a fine body of men—loyal to the core,
animated hy strong national and State pride, and full of
lighting spirit. It will acquit itself well in any capacity
tn which It may bo culled upon lo serve.
How highly Hie people of Delaware regard the regi
ment as a regiment and Us members as officers and men
was demonstrated clearly yesterday afternoon by the
large crowd of civilians which assembled in New Castle
to bid them good-bye and good-luck and to see them en
train and depart.
Many of the scenes enact**! at and near the station
Were pathetic, hut underlying all of them was rock
bottom American loyally which will speak effectively
when the Delaware troops meet tho enemy and come to
grips with him in foreign fields.
In common with all other Delawareans, wo wish Col
onel Reed and his command honor and distinction In the
work of putting an end to Prussian Junkerlsm and
thereby saving world democracy and world civilization
from the heels of the Hohenzollerns and Hie Hapsburgs.
Members of the faeulty and the student body of Dela
ware College manifest ample evidence of their appre
ciation of the gift to the college of an automobile
ambulance by the Delaware Chapter of the Daughters
of tho American Revolution. It Is tho plan to have the
ambulance station In Newark In charge of a student
ambulance corps. Some of the members of that corps
wilt be on duty at all times and ready, In. response to
emergency calls, to run to any point within 100 miles
of the station. If the ambulance and the corps should
be needed at any time by the Federal Government, they
will be turned over to It for service In the field. It
was a happy thought that prompted tho members of TTie
chapter to make such a gift to Delaware's leading edu
cational institution.
WOUNDED FRENCH SOLDIERS AND THEIR RELIEF.
B hsve received from Miss Anne Morgan, of New
York, daughter of J. Plerpont Morgan and treas
urer of the American Fund for French Wounded, a let

Dear Editor: Wo shall be very grateful If yo»i pub

tory words of your own.

Dear Friend; Let us tell you about one novel feature
of our section in the Allied Baiaar-the Parcels Po*d
Booth. Everyone we knew is asked to send us an aril
cl«, worth about a quarter, by parcels post. These
packages will be numbered and held as originally
wrapped. Then, at the entrance to the Bazaar, will be
distributed little numbered cards saying, "There is
package awaiting for you at the Amerlcan-Fund-for
French-Wounded section." Upon payment of « quarter
the package corresponding with the number on the
card will be delivered.
Everyone will be satisfied by receiving the money's
worth. The blind buying will prove an amusing attrac
tion for our booth and a splendid source of
the fund, at trifling expense and trouble to the indi
vidual contributor. Bseldos, every postage stamp
chased helps Undo Sam. So please mail your packages
as soon as you ran, addressed, Parrels Post Booth, Ameri
can Fund for French Wounded, 20 West Twenty-third
street, New York city.
Of course we shall he grateful for aoy further dona
tion you may make, either money or merchandise;
we are counting surely upon the twenly-flvc-eent
cels-post package and hope you will Induce dozens
your friends to send them also.
Very sincerely yours,
AMERICAN FUND FOR FRENCH WOUNDED.
Anne Morgan, Trcas.
Here la an opportunity for Delawareans to aid an
ceedingly worthy oause and to become part of
promises to be a pleasant and profitable feature of
relief work.
The French soldiers have won the admiration of
world by their bravery, warlike resourcefulness
sclf-sarrlflclng spirit. Thosa of them who aiO so
fortunate as to be wounded certainly are deserving
world-sympathy and world-aid.

Nevertheless, the greatest world series will be fought

OUR TROOPS AND TRANSPORTS.
F ROM Washington comes the suggestion that a dearth
of tonnage may prevent the United States sending more
than 800.000 to 1,000,000 men to Prance In 1918. American
troops are needed over there and some method must bo
devised for getting them across the Atlantic without un
j due loss of time.
A big American army on the western front will shorten
1 the war by many months. That is something greatly to
be desired from every point of view. Our government,
In co-operation with the governments of our allies,
doubtless will see to It that the Atlantic is bridged by
some.method, German submarines or no submarines.
It has been said that, when necessity drives, the
Anglo-Saxon can accomplish things seemingly impossl
Thelr faculty in that respect probably will stand
them in good stead in the impending transportation
j emergency.

OLD DELAWARE'S OPENING GAME.
T HE football team of Delaware College will go to
College Park, Md., tomorrow, and play (he eleven
of the Maryland Slate Agricultural College. It will be,
for the home team, the opening game of the season.
Unfortunately,' at least three of Its strong players
may bn kept off the gridiron by Injuries suffered In prac
tice. It may go into the contest with Hie Marylanders
handicapped to that extent. If good wishes in tills
State will avail anything, the Blue and Gold eleven will
win, despite all handicaps.
Big guns again are booming In Flanders, and It Is a
noteworthy fact that the British and the French are do
ing most of^the firing. Tho Germans are disheartened
by the repulse by Hie Allies of six big Teutonic at
tacks. The present activity of British and French artil
lery would seem to Indicate that in a short time the
Germans will bo called upon to do some desperate de
fensive work to hold the new lines they have established
since Haig and his men forced them back on a nine-mile
front and the French also made gains.
That All-Russian Democratic Congress is an exceed
ingly uncertain body with which to deal. On Monday
tho Congress pul itself on record, hy a vote of 766 to
688. as being in favor of Premier Kerensky's plan to
form a coalition Cabinet. On Tuesday, by a vote of 813
lo 180, It reversed Itself, thereby making a direct thrust
at Kerensky and Ills associates In tho Provisional Gov
ernment. Tile change in the vote prpbubly means that
enterprising German emissaries worked industriously
overnight.
That death-dealing, property-destroying typhoon that
has devastated portions of Japan, including the city of
Tokio, has aroused world-wide sympathy for the tens
of thousands of sufferers from Us ravages. An idea of
the magnitude of the storm may bo found In the fact
that In the Tokio district alone nearly two hundred per
wero killed, while fully 200,000 other persons were
sons
made homeless.

abused Belgian people.
Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Holland now are pay
ing the penalty for serving as purchasing agents
for the German Government and assisting It in main
taining its stand against the AIIlos. Between Hie
American and the British embargoes, those four so-called
neutral nations now are Isolated largely from the rest of
the world.
Captain George Ouynemer was the greatest of the
French flyers. His recent death In action caused keçn
regret In all allied and neutral countries. The sugges

symbol of tho aspirations and enthusiasm of tho French
army," meets with widespread favor.
Settlement of the Kentucky-Tennessee coal strike

this country less annoying to the public. When 17,000

THE ONLY WAY
(From the New York Tribune).
The retirement of the German sug
gestion of a willingness to evacuate
Belgium, even with guarantees' of
their own making, should serve as a
final demonstration to the people of
the nations at war of what Germany
is trying Jo do. German .chances of
winning the war by her armies have
gone forever. German victory procured
by the submarine has been postponed
Indeflnllely. There is left to Germany

la to avoid decisive defeat.
The German purpose is to use peace
sentiment, which exists In all the olvi
llzed countries of the world— a senti
ment growing out of the natural hor
ror of the brutalities and the waste of
war—as a means of breaking down the
will of the nations in arms against her
and leaving tier In possession of a con
siderable portion of the booty she has
acquired hy the foulest means
employed by a modern nation.
ever
The truth Is that those who control
Germany cannot make peace without
victory. Any oilier peace would seal
their doom. They would have to con
front a people four million of whose
manhood had been either killed or per
mancnlly crippled, whose future ufr
home had been burdened by colossal
debts ami whose future abroad had
been destroyed by crimes like those
which have roused the United States,
Argentina, the people of North and
South America, of Australia and tin
Far East. ■» ■ _
A peace based on the status qnn
ante, a peace without Indemnity or an
nexation, would" mean the death of that
military and autocratic party which
controls Germany. Therefore me Ger
man rulers will not under any elrcum
stances make peace on such terms ;
they will, however, use all peace dis
eussions all over the world to forward
their own alms and their own ends
hy offering and withdrawing one sng
gestion after another, as in the case
of Belgium recently.
The American people, like those of
the Allied countries, should recognize
the fact that until the German army Is
defeated the German government will
make no peace which does not carry
with it a present German victory and
a future Gorman peril. Until Hie mili
tary prestige and power of tho army
are broken all talk of peace will sim
ply serve to strengthen tho German
army and to perpetuate its control in
Germ&ny by weakening the forces ar
rayed ogainst it on the battlefield.
Terrible as Is the prospect, there Is
no chanc^ of pence in this world which
can be permanent, which can be toler
able, which does not carry with it the
absolute and unmistakable defeat of
German armies, with the consequent
shattering of tho legend of German
military Invincibility, already broken
in fact on all tho battlefields of West
ern Europe. Another year of war, with
two million more casualties Inflicted
upon the Germans, with those defeats
which are Inevitable next year in view
of German numbers, morale and ma
terial. Is the cheapest possible price
by which civilization can win Us vic
tory over barbarism and Hie world
pul a term to the Gcnpan threat.
The good people, the well-inten
tioned people, all who are now talking
about peace in America serve German
ends. Thousands of them do It with
no thought of rendering such service;
other thousands do it because their al
legiance Is to the Kaiser rather than
to the country tn which they live; but
the effect of the actions of both is the
same. Could those honest people In
America who are talking about peace
know what the German tiling is in fact
they would lie silenced forever. Ger
many's greatest advantage lies In the
