drowning Is greatly increased by the
path Of the beat under the sea.
Drowning is easy in boats whose
buoyancy under water has been SO
difficult to secure and four submarines
have already been sunk, most of their
crews perishing in them. The use of
submarines is in its infancy, and yet
the British have lost three of them
during practice maneuvers. The fact
that the crew could live for fifty hour
in the boat which Went down last
week when provision of air was made
for only half that time is proof of the

portion to the men engaged, mine dis
asters can scarcely be compared with
being imprisoned in a submarine.
/: is probable. however, that the boats
will be so improved that the danger
in practice Will not be so great, but
the war risk can hardly be reduced.

Kurile islands belong to Japan. The
Sakhalin island used to belong to that
country, but about 40 years ago was
ceded TO Russia, Japan being unable
ITO offer resistance. Accordingly, the
occupation of Sakhalin now by the
japanese is both a geographical and
political resumption of what we must
regard as the natural order. Sakhalin
is 700 miles long, and of average
width of 20 miles. 1t occupies on the
eastern coast of Asia about the posi-
tion that England occupies on the
vest coast of Europe. The climate,
however, is that of Norway, rather
than that of Great Britain, as there
is no gulf stream to give a temperate
zone warmth in those parts. It's chief
importance is strategic. The posses

Korean strait. both effecutally com

the ill-advised war with Japan.

Let every patriot salute
The hero on his bier,
The lion of the quarterback,
Paul Jones, the .privateer.
He comes across he ocean foam
To rest within the land
From which he vOyaged long ago
With all his brave command.
The grandest captain OF his time
That ever sailed the sea,
Or drew a bright and daring blade
To set the nation free.
A rotten ship beneath his feet
A cutlass by his side.
Were all he had to meet the flower
OF England's power and pride;
But down upon the foe he swept
In clouds of smoke and flame.
And made a kingdom feel his might,
And tremble at his name.
Annapolis waits within the gates
For hers the sacred trust
Among her future admirals,
To guard this sacred dust.

While drums and trumPets roll
The Father of the Navy comes,

MISSION CAMP
AT KEANSBURG.
Union Fresh Air Mission Moves
Camp from WestfieId to
Raritan Bay.

An effort is being made in this
city to get contribution for worthy
cause.
For the past ten years the Union
Fresh Air Mission Association has
carried on a very successful work at
Camp Woolfe," Westfield, where
poor mothers and children from the
tenement districts of New York city
have been brought TO enjoy the fresh
country air and sunshine.
Owing to the death of George e.
Woolfe, who was one of the found
ers of this work and for many years
the president of the association, and
on whose property the camp was To-
Gated, it has been found impossible
to continue the camp at the old To-
cation. The executive committee has
finally decided on a site near Keans-
burg, Monmouth county, as being the
most desirable. The spot chosen is
on the shore of the Raritan bay
AS in former years, the guests will
be mothers and their younger child
ren, who will remain at the camp for
periods of about ten days each, ex-
cept that in cases of special need
some of the children may be kept
for longer time.
In addition to these, the Day Nurs-
cry of the Peoples Home church
and Settlement of East Eleventh
street, New York city, which is a
feature that has been added to the
work of this church during the past
year, will be removed to. Keansburg
for the months of July and August
Contributions should be sent to
the treasurer, Lawrence A. Clark,

Hotel, Dwelling and Barn Burned
at the Head Of Main
Street.
WAS SEEN FROM HERE.
Firemen Did Excellent Work
Pushed Burning Build
ing Back.
Special to the Evening News.

Special to the Evening News.
South Amboy, Aug. 5:-The South
Amboy firemen showed that they
know how to handle big blaze last
night, when a hotel, formerly kept
by Harry Forgotsen, barn and a
large dwelling house, on the upper
end of Main street above Bergan
Hill were destroyed. The flames
were discovered by the crew on a
trolley car which was passing about
10.45 o'clock and the alarm was
sounded from box &c. The loss is
about $4,000.
Following so closely upon the fire
which destroyed Sullivan's confec-
tionery store, causing loss of ABOUT
$1,000, the people are somewhat sii-
spicious as to the origin of shis
blaze. Some believe it was set on
fire to hide the robbery.
The flames started in barn in
the rear of the hotel, which is nov
kept by a Mr. Mccarthy. They had
gained much headway and quickly
spread to the hotel, running along
low building which almost joins
the two structures. The firemen re.
sponded promptly, and they had 4
long run. In the meantime, the peop-
lie had been busy saving the coz
tents of the hotel and nearby houses
which we're all carried to places of
safety.
The firemen were handicapped by
the poor water pressure at first and
the steamer was sent for.
By this time the lrotel was doom
ed. On one side of it was a large
house and on the other Gmaller
one. Part of the hotel fell upon the
smaller one and but for the efficient
work of the firemen it would have
been destroyed. They grabbed their
hooks andSwith a mighty effort,
pushed the burning section of the
hotel back The crowd cheelod and
whistled in their enthusiasm over
the work of the laddies. They had
thus saved the small building.
The big one, however, on the 9TH
er side of the burning hotel, had ig-
nited and it was burned to the
ground. This was occupied by Pol
ish families. Philip Stoddard lives
in the one which was saved. The
firemen worked the greater part of
the night on the ruins and today are
receiving great praise for the work
The flames were plainly visible
from this shore and crowds of peop-
lie went to the river front to watch
them.

Committee of Citizens Electric
Light Company Met Alder
men Last Night.
DRAW new ORDINANCE.
Merchants Give Their Reasons
for the Changes Asked for
No Agreement Reached.

A number of members of the Cit
liens Electric Light, Heat & Power
Company and their counsel, James
S. Wight, met with the Board oil
Alderman last night and submitted
their requests for the amending OF
the proposed ordinance granting
them a franchise.
The desired changes are as. fol-
lows: First, that the company he al
lowed to put up poles for their wires,
with an agreement to begin to lay
conduits after five years, second, that
the company be not required to
pay two per cent, of their gross
earnings to the city; third, that no
maximum rate of seven and one half
cents per kilowatt for private con-
sumers be fixed.
The alderman listened to the pres
entation of the company's requests.
They did not declare their position,
but the conference ended by order
ing Lawyer Wight to submit the or
dinance with the proposed amend
ments. Mr.. Wight said this morning
that he did not know whether ne
would have it ready for the council
meeting Monday night or not.
Ten Cents The Limit.
The company desires to have the
limit of seven and one half cents per
kilowatt, which is but half of what
the Public Service Corporation charg-
es, raised to ten cents for private
consumers. Not that they intend
charging the latter price, but to
protect themselves in the event of
an Increase in the cost of production,
such as a coal strike, increased cost
of materials, or the like.
The company means to go in for
the city lighting, and they declare
that the saving to the city by the
consequent competition would more
than make up for the amount the
city would lose by not receiving the
two per cent, of the gross receipts
Consumers Themselves.
The company would not be liable
to charge more than seven and one
half cents per kilowatt to private
consumers, since most OF the largest
consumers would, in all probability
be stockholders in the corporation.
AS told on the NEWS yesterday
the company wants permission tc
erect poles to use for five years, when
they would commence laying con
duits by degrees, until, finally. the
company would have conduits
throughout The idea or laying and
using conduits jointly with the Hud
son & Middlesex Telephone Com
pany is impossible.

CONDITION
IMPROVED.
Little Girl Who Jumped from
Trolley Car Able TO
Speak Today.

The condition of Avilda Jensen,
who jumped from speeding trolley
at Prospect street Thursday night,
on her return from the Sunday school
picnic of the Danish M. E. church,
was much improved this morning.
Yesterday she was unable to speak,
but this MORNING the abrasion at
the base of her skull has been con-
sideNrbly reduced by the application
of fee bags and she is able to speak
a few words and take little nour-
ishment. 1t is probable that a suit
will be entered against the Public
Service Corporation.
1t has since been learned that the
little girl was accompanied by her
little brother and he was going to
jump too, when someone called for
him to say on. He did so but got
down on the run board and sat there
with his feet dangling on the ground
as the car sped along.
According to the statement of the
children's father, the two had been
to the picnic with Rev. and Mrs.
Block. The car on which they were
returning home was special one
and when Mr.. and Mrs. Block alight-
ed at Madison avenue the children
were alone in the big car. The min
lister says he told the conductor to
let the little ones off at Prospect
street..
The motorman, having the signal
to go ahead and knowing it was 4
special car, started full speed for the
car barns. The conductor is said to
have walked forward to the front
platforfu to talk to the motorman
leaving the children alone in TIL.
rear. 1t is supposed that he forgot
them and as the car sped past Pros
pect street, the children became

carried to Metuchen. 1t was ther
that the girl pumped. 1t is said by
the children's father that the bo,
was carried all the way into the cal
barns before he was discovered In
