FOURTH OF JULY PLANS.

The committee arranging for the
sane Fourth of July acted wisely In
deciding to have the fireworks in
land this year. While we do not be-
lieve a more attractive spot than the
Bluff overlooking the bay, could be
found for the display, the fact that
the State street merchants are ar
ranging a big celebration in connec-
ton with the opening of their white
way is taken into consideration and
the city does we'll to encourage these
enterprising merchants. Besides, we
have never tried an inland display
of fireworks, all our efforts in this
direction, even back to the carnl,~
days, having been on the Sater. IS
these in charge OF the fireworks de-
clare that they have many beauti-
full set pieces that can be shown only
on land, Perth Amboy should have
a chance to see them and decide
whether or not the land or water
display is preferable. The Mardi
Gras on State street is going to be
a big feature in itself and the fire.
works will be a fitting addition to
the event.
Another wise decision on the part
of the committee this year is to give
the children a treat. 1t is all we'll
enough to have them in the parade.
Every boy and girl likes to march,
but when the procession has dis
banded they are all tired and hungry
and a little treat handed out by the
committee will be decidedly well
come. Besides, the people of the city
will be more than ever willing to
contribute to the fund when they re-
altze that the money is to be spent
in this way. The chairmen of the
various committees deserve praise
for the self sacrificing name in
which they have gone about the ar
engagements for this year. Every
citizen should be willing to do his
part In making the day a great sue
cess.

DROUGHT AND THE FORESTS


Prior to the storm on Wednes-
day everyone was longing for rain.
The entire state of New Jersey had
experienced a drought of six weeks
duration. Coming at this time of
year the dry weather had a serious
effect on the growing crops, practi-
cally running some and greatly cur
failing others. Everybody is bound
to feel the result. The farmer, of
course, Is the first to be hit, but
that is only the beginning. Every
household depends on fresh yegeta-
bles during the summer months and,
owing to the scarcity, they will cost
more. The hay crop is far below
normal WhhA-neans that hay will
be high. So it goes down the whole
list-all because of a lack of rain.
But while we realize the cause
and effect, what are we doing to
find "a remedy? Some may think
that rain cannot be controlled. They
argue that the regulation of the
weather is something beyond human
invention. While this is all very
true 1t has been learned that nature
has provided her W control and If
we but allow her, and render some
assistance where necessary, droughts
will be rare and the effect will not be
so serious. The secret, it has been
found, lies in the trees. Here the
great question Of conservation
about which we have heard so much
Of recent years, comes up. Many
of our rivers and creeks are literally
drying up because the forests about
the source of the streams have
been, or are being cut away. The
great spreading branches of the trees
protect the ground from the SUMS
rays. The roots hold the moisture
and prevent the rainfall from run
ming off at once thus causing foods
and freshets, which now do so much
damage, especially in the spring.
One of the most impressive and
forceful messages ever sent to con-
gress by a President of the United
States was that of Theodore Roose-
welt on the subject of conservation.
This was one of R%oosvcelt's famous
illustrated messages about which we
heard SO much at the time. The pic
lures, however, told more than a
thousand pages Of reading matter.
They showed what the effect of cut
ting away the forests has been In
China. Great, barron hills which
were one covered with trees and
between which were once fertile
valleys, were shown to be sun
baked and desolate, cut deep with
miniature revines caused by the
water racing unchecked down the
slopes into the food below. But
the rains have long since ceased and
the whole territory is one great un.
inhabitable waste.
There Is a great lesson in all this
for America. We look at such pic.
lures and read about such things
and wonder how such a change could
take place. But are we needing tn,
warning at home? The r2
drought has been a severe remi
since. it has rai2

Djerba, Tunis.-Tripoli has been
bombarded twice by the Italian fleet.
The first shot was fired shortly after
three o'clock in the afternoon and the
bombardment continued until sunset.
Smelling was resumed early the next
morning, after quiet night, during
which the sky glowed with the reflec-
ton of fires in the town. &
The bonn bardment by the first di-
vision Of the feet under Admiral Fara-
.velli was heavier than that of the pre-
.vious day, but the outer forts had been
reduced to ruins and were unable to
reply. The Turkish garrison had re-
moved its guns to the heights beyond
the town and responded with few
shells, which fell short. The Turks
were dispersed by shrapnel from the
fleet and fed in all directions.
Prepare to Land Troops.
The first white flags began to appear
and the Italians prepared to land 1000
men from the ships.
There were no casualties in the feet
during the bombardment, the Turkish
projectiles all falling wide Of the bat
