JAPAN AS OUR CUSTOMER.
England and the United States Are
Favored in Trade of the In
sular Country.

According to an article in the Ger
mar Export Review, quoted in the
consular reports, the materials needed
for shipbuilding are bought in Eng
land. Even big ships built for Japan
in Germany years ago were ordered
to Armstrong; in England for their
armament. Recently Krupp n the
French firm of Schneider are preferred.
The fact that England and the United
States are favored is shown by the
purchase of material for the Yokohama
waterworks. In calling for bids it was
provided that the cocks come from
England and the water meters from
England or the United States, the
names of firms even being specified.
Locomotives for the railroads in Japan
and Korea are bought exclusively in
the United States. presumably because
they are more quickly obtainable
there. The friendship for the United
States Is increasing.

of the speculation concerning the in

LOS ANGELES PLANS FOREST
Three Thousand Acres of Brush in
California City to Be Made
Af4+ 4-si Into Woods.

Los Angeles, Cal, has 1900. acres of
brush land called Griffith park, which
it intends to convert into a commercial
forest. This will be the first instance
of a city in the United States creating
a forest. The practice G quite common
in Europe, where the forest parks
have not only contributed to the
pleasure of the people, but have been
more than self-supporting through
their timber output. Under its CO.
operative offer the bureau of forestry
had last summer at Los Angeles four
Of its experts making a comprehensive
planting plan for the forest. This plan
was completed at the end of Septem-
Der. The idea is to convert a waste
piece of land into a productive forest,
which will not only pay for its crea-
ton and care through the sale of ma
ture timber, but will prove a constant
source of pleasure and recreation for
the citizens of Los Angeles. 1t is an
entirely practical plan, and Los An
geles deserves credit for its progress
siye spirit, Other cities could very
profitably follow this excellent exam
pie.

OLDEST HOTEL IN EUROPE.
Goethe, Schiller and Bismarck, as Well
as Royalty, Its Guests-Give
a Testimonial.

The Coldenes Kreuz Golden Crosse
at Regensburg (Ratisbon), in Bavaria,
is the oldest hotel in Europe. King
Ferdinand l. halted at it on his way
to his coronation in 1881, and no other
hotel in Europe possesses records OF
such great antiquity as the Golden
Cross at Ratisbon does or can boast
of having had SO many royal visitors
as have enjoyed it's hospitality. The
existing visitors books, which date
from 1919, contain the names of mere
than 500 imperial, royal and princely
personayes. The room is shown where.
in 1865, the late Prince Bismarck, at
that time Prussian minister, slept
when he came with his sovereign to
hold the conference which was the
last attempt to prevent wal between
Austria and Prussia. The negotiations
were held in the small hall" of the
hotel, under the presidency of King
William of Prussia. The host is
equally proud of the autographs of
Schiller and other men of letters
which he possesses. The author OF
William Tell wrote the words, "Und
cine Heimath list es" ("It is indeed a
home'), in memory of his stay there,
and no landlord could wish for a bet

TENT POLE HIS WEAK POINT
Circus Manager Helpless When Can
vas Supports Are Attached for
Non-Paymentof Bills.

The circus manager was talking
ever the experiences of his less pros
porous days when attachments on the
show were frequent, relates the New
York Sun.
''1'ne man who wants to get dam
ages against or collect a bill from a
circus should pass by the animals,
which seem of such value to the show.
and get his eye on the tent poles" he
said. IF he attaches a mighty lion
or a big elephant the manager will
not make a big allowance in order to
regain possession. But just attach the
tent poles and the manager will help
lessly throw up his hand. They are
the most indispensable part of a cir
Gus outfit, fitted up as they are with
trapeze attachments, gearing ard
other things. The circus simply can
not get along without it's poles, and a
circus manager will settle at once
rather than have an attachment put
on them"

The whole proceeding was a series OF

sacrifice, which bound each person TO

that the brilliant crystals were actual-

various notifications were worked
out as the experience of the investi-

cess seems imminent. The crystals
are positively known to partake OF al
the characteristics of the diamond In

by combustion experiments. The lar
gest crystal yet obtained is only cne-
half a millimeter in length, and, while
this is only a spark, it indicates that

THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

It must be admitted that with all
the money Perth Am boy mas spent en-
her fire department during the past
year, 1t is in a poor condition today.
The News has continually pointed out
that when a fire apparatus. and all the
NECESSARY appliances, are needed, they
are needed badly.
While the great majority of fires in
Perth Amboy are trifling aud quickly
under control it is not known what
minnie a blaze is going to get beyond
oontrol such as was the case when
the Hess block burned. 1t is. therefore
na1kneAry that evsry Ere apparatus
shonai be rcn,,v and every fire hydrant
should be g. feet order.
ION the coltr4fy, what do we find?
Two steamers are stored away with
great canvas coverings over them.
Apparatus could be brought FIR ON
Totteuvills or South Amboy as quick
" as they could be gotten into action.
As far rs steamers are concerned,
Perth Amboy is about as we'll off as
before the apparatus were purchased.
But that is not all. Cement floors
are being placed in Lincoln and Pro-
tection houses. This work could
have been done before cold weather
set in, but 1t was not and, az a result.
Lincoln combination wagon, which
is depended upon more than any other
apparatus to fight fire in this city,
was kept in a livery stable where the
chemicals frozen solid in the tanks,
putting them completely out of bust
ness. In case of fire the men would
have had to depend on fastening a
hose to a hydrant. and who knows
how many of the hydrants in the city
are In working order TODAY in spite Of
the fact that they were all inspected
about a month ago?
But this is not the worst. In Nc.

there recently to pu in electric lights,

transacted business with him. He
is prompt, reliable and safe, and can
be depended upon in any emergency
to perform his whole duty without

The abuse that has been heaped
upon Mr.. Buck is proof clear and
positive that his opponents realize
his strength with the people and
would IKE to defeat HIM by charges
rejecting upon his ability and char
acter; but this opposition has been
characterized by such wilful, delib-
crate and wanton misrepresentation
that the people having had an OPP.
portunity to learn the truth con
cerning him, will show their appre-
citation for his staunch and rugged
manly qualities by their ballots.
Frank w. Buck will be elected
sheriff of Sullivan county by an over
Whclming vote.
