Instead of transferring today the SIS

As far as the disposition of the old
building in South Orange avenue,
which is nov to be abandoned, is con
cerned, County Supervisor Fred l..
Baldwin today laid at rest the stories
that hav been floating about as to its
possible uture use for n hospital for

mix expressed the opiaion that the re-
suit of the city prize singing, in which
the Organization took part. was a dis

The fault for the failure to make a
good showing, he added. was not due to
Director William Laufenberg. as he did
his duty, but vas not properly backed
Zip by the singers. George Hermann
and others also deplored the fact that
the United Singers did not do better at
the festival. The hope for better work
at the festival in Philadelphia In 1912

Plymouth to London. From the English
capital city the tourist will proceed
without delay to Dover. crossing the
English Channel, thence by regular ex-
press train to Moscow, Russia, where
close connection will be made with the
