New Standards set.

There was an atmosphere OF final ac-
complishment about todsy's events that
lent to them new significance. The
American navy has set a new cruising
standard for the other navies of the
world TO strive for. As she led the
beautiful column of battleships ready
for any emergency and bidding defiance
to the storms or the tortuous channels
of the strange waters of the hemis-
pheres out of Hampton Roads fourteen
months ago, and as she piloted the feet
through all the seas and into all the
ports of the long cruise, the flagship
Connecticut steamed again today al
the head of the returning squadron.
In the wake of the white ships of the
homecoming fleet followed a Welcoming
host in gray-four battieships and FIVE
powerful cruisers being In this escort
ing column sent thousand miles to seq
to convey preliminary word of well
come TO the famous ships. The gray
vessels. if it had not been for the
abundance OF American fagsfl flying
from their mastheads might easily have
been mistaken for foreign ships

Newark entered upon the ceIebration
of the, nth anniversary of George
Washington's birth today in holiday
attire and patriotic vein. The festive
spirit of the day, though subdued. was
none the less observed and from thou
sands of buildings marking the course
which the great leader once traversed
when the city was a village, back in
the last quarter of the eighteenth cen.
tury, hung American flags and bunting
as mute testimonials of his wisdom
and valor
There was official recognzance of the
holiday by the closing of both city and
State offices but no oficia program of
its celebration. There was need for
none. "The Father of His Country
first in war, first in peace and first
In the hearts of his countrymen,'' dead
10 years, still holds his exalted posi-
ton in the heart of Newark, if the dis
play of patriotism can be taken as an
accurate gauge.
Special Matinees.
Aside from the big demonstration of
the Eagles, there was little during the
day in the way of celebrations to dis
tinguish 1t from the observance Of
Sunday The theatres gave special
matinee performances to full houses
But few stores in the business sec
tion remained open, and most of these
closed at noon. All courts, banks,
schools and municipal offices We're
closed.
Tonight, however, thousands will
honor the memory of Washington at
the banquet board, in dances. al re-
ceptions and lectures and at amateur
theatricals. Hardly a hall or meeting
place in Newark will be vacant FROM
furthest Down Neck to the boundary
