DEPARTMENT DETERMINES
ON COURSE OF PROCEDURE

Much mystery hung over the State De-
partment this morning. Second Assist
ant Secretary Adee put in about four
hours constructing a dispatch which Is
believed to contain detailed instructions
to Minister Leishman. the representa-
tions he is to make to Turkey TO permit
the use of the Machias as a legation
boat. and the arguments he is to en-
ploy with the other signatory powers TO
secure their consent 10 the patrol by
the Machias of Constantinople's water
front. This was done only after Seere-
tary Hay had collected from the
archives of the department all the pa
pers pertaining TO the situation. IL is
evident the department has determined
upon some course of action which will
be effective though conservative.

THIS prevented the theater from igniting.

may feel this is a pessimistic view,
but our older citizens remember when
great fires have destroyed much pro-
perty in this city. Now York, Boston,
Chicago, Paterson, all large cities in
time are visited by the hideous de-
struotive fire-demon and that too,
when fully equipped fire departments
are constantly on hand Only the
goodness of God in his providential
dealings with this city and an active,
alert, hardworking fire department
has saved us in the past few years
from disastrous fire.
GAS our city SO rapidly grows the
danger increases and the money spent
now to avoid great fire in the future
will be we'll invested. We have one
of the best lot of firemer community
ever had. have seen men work at
fires in New York, Paterson, Newark
and other cities, have seen men, who
are paid for their work, professional
firemen, we might call them) and
volunteers, but never have seen such
good work with such inferior apparatus
as in Perth Amboy.
1.-THE firemen's call is a divine
CALL, continued the speaker. Every
honorable calling is of God. Every
opportunity to labor in any occupation
is call of God. Especially is the
fireman S call of God because it is a
call to help the unfortunate and needy.
So whenever the fire bell rings hope
you brave men will remember this
text and that God is saying Unto
you, o men, CALI and then, breath

hurry to your arduous task, prove
yourselves men.

who have served the city so we'll in
past years and who are so ready in an
emergency to aid our firemen, lot me
say we appreciate your services and
also the fact that you are not seeking
to achieve greatness by desiring honors
for yourselves, but by becoming the
greatest possible value to our COM

health and life for others.

THE FIREMEN'S CALL.
Subject ofth Discourse Last Night Church
Was crowded -Firemen Much Impress
ed-Pastor Declared the Firemen's Call
Was Devine for it was TO Help those in
Trouble.

Rev. Percy r Ferris, pastor Of the
Baptist church, urged the improve
ments for the fire department and the
necessity of steam engine from his
pulpit last night, when he had for a
part of his congi egation the members
of the different fire companies of this
city and the Exempt Firemen' Asso-
citation. His discourse was well re-
ceived and created deep impression.
The church was flied for the occasion.
The laddies occupied greater part OF
the center of the church and the con-
grogation crowded the sides and the
gallery Chairs were also brought in
Mr.. Ferris subject was "The Fire
mems Gall. He took his text from
Proverbs, 8; 4, "Unto You, o men,
call; and My voice is to the sons of
mon. l."
Before beginning the text the
preacher made few remarks upon
the efficiency of the local fire depart
ment and the need of better equip
ment.
"I want, at the beginning OF this
sermon, to say few words about the
needs of our ilre department, the
pastor said. Every citizen has
watched with deep interest the in
creased generosity of the city officials
during the last year. The passing of
the Cannon bill made it possible for a
city of our size to plan for thorough
ly equipped fire department. Some OF
their needs have been met and orders
have been given for additional appar-
atus, but shall we stop here? No.
The work should 20 Oh until we are
ready for any emergency. Would 1t
not be good plan for our officials to
appropriate annually as much as posi-
bio for this work and on the plan
which our government is building its
powerful feet to protect its citizens
at homo and abroad, so that when on
some windy night q great fire breaks
out our brave, hardworking efficient
fromen may have every means at
hand to save our homes, our loved
ones and our property.
