The Ward Room Toast.

Sweethearts and wives-girls that We left
behind,
Blue eyes and brown-dim when we
sailed that day;
For Jack at sea do they grow sof. and
kind,
May memories come to keep the tears
away.
Beneath strange suns we've sailed the
seven seas,
Where woman's glance the Yankee
sailor lures;
Our flag has luttered in the orient
breeze,
But never have we met with eyes like
yours.
Sweethearts and wives-speeding across
the sky
We send our longing message-here's
to you,
The girls we love-the gallant flag we
fly
The hearts that tremble for the boys
in blue.
See-clesr beacon glows beyond the
foam,
Steady and warm its welcome never
dies;
All, keep it burning for us there at
home,
The sailors star-the lovelight in your
eyes!
4
Now--onee again, boys-steady there
stand by
A glass with you, sir--now then-thfes
times three!
The stars and stripes forever! Bumpers
dry
Our fag-our ship-our hearts across
the sea. Life.

RIPARIAN BOARD
AT FREIGHT SITE
With Bush Officials Inspect
Bayonne Shore for Proposed
Great Terminal.

BAYONNE, Oct. 25.-Members of
the New Jersey State Riparian Com
mission, in company with representa-
tives of the Bush Terminal Company,
of New York, today inspected the site
for the proposed big freight terminal
here on the New York bay shore.
The site extends from the foot of
East Forty-seventh street, next to
the plant of the American Radiator
Company, as far south as a point
near Twenty-eighth street. Dewitt
Van Buskirk. president of the Cham
ber Of Commerce. accompanied the
commissioners on their tour of in
pection.
The visit of the commissioners was
for the purpose of assessing the price
which should be paid to the State of
New Jersey for the riparian rights
involved.
The United States Harbor Commits
sion already has made its inspection
and soundings, and is ready to sub
NIT a report to the Fedeld dl govern
ment on the proposition. The project
has created considerable interest in
Bayonne, and will be one of the great
est commercial. Improvements ever
undertaken.
The plans of the Bush Terminal
Company will include a system of
storage warehouses on the shore front
and strings of long docks similar to
those at South Brooklyn.

men are ignorant and illiterate. Why
shouldn't a Chinaman be given as
much consideration as an lrishman,
a German an Italian or any other
nationality?' the young Celestial
asked. There are number of CHI
nese voters in California and in New
York city, and our papers are full OF
the nice things Governor Wilson has
said about our race, Wong con-
tinued. "Chinamen win vote almost
unanimously for Wilson" he added.
Wong refused to commit himself as
to how he would vote in county and
town politics. "You know | have
lots of friends who are Republicans
and Bull Moosers he said with a
smile. you can say that | will vote
for the best man..
Wong speaks almost perfect Eng
lish and discusses current topics with
the greatest of interest. He has de-
termined and convincing manner and
wakes warm when speaking of his
countrymen. His ambition is to be-
come an Interpreter
Nothing would please me better"
he declared, than to act as an in
terpreter for Governor Wilson and
go about with his political managers,
inducing my countrymen to vote for
him"

SUPERVISORS VETO is
OVERRIDDEN BY BOARD
Appointment of Purchasing
Head Unanimously Carried.

The vetoes of Supervisor Edward
Schickhaus of resolutions adopted on
October 10 by the Board of Free
holders. creating a purchasing de-
partment and appointing George P.
Coles as superintendent at salary
of s1.500 per year, were overridden
yesterday and the resolutions were
again passed unanimously.
Freeholder Richard Malta, who
introduced the resolutions for the
second time, explained that the APP
pointment should not be by civil
service, because not only was the
appointee to be the head of depart
ment, but he must be one whom
they know and can trust, and who
could be discharged without the for
mality of proof should charges be
made against him.
The supervisor declared that one
could only determine by conjecture
the scope of such a department, as
no duties were prescribed, no outline
given or it's purposes stated.
Assuming that it was for the pur-
pose of purchasing supplies for the
county he declared there was no ne
cessity for such a department at this
time. inasmuch as the contracts for
supplies of all kinds are now in
force until March Is, 1918, with the
exceptions of meats, which continue
only until November IS.
The appointment of such superin-
tendent, the supervisor said should
be removed from politics.

First Celestial to Cast Ballot in
Bloomfield Proud of
Distinction.
SAYS THAT GOVERNOR
UNDERSTANDS HIS PEOPLE
Has Political Ambitions and
Would Like to Go on
Stump.

To Wong Coon, of "a Broad street,
falls the honor of being the first
Cinese voter in Bloomfield. Wong is
quite fond of that distinction.
The young Celestial, who is en-
ployed IN a laundry, was born in Cali
fornia twenty-five years ago, and
came East when he was II years old
He is a red-hot Wilsonite. and did not
hesitate in telling an Evening Star
reporter today that the governor of
New Jersey was his choice for the
presidency.
"Yes, guess | am the first and only
Chinese voter in Bloomfield and ! am
going to vote for Wilson," Wong said.
II read all the papers and talk with
all the local politicians, and have
come to the conclusion that Governor
Wilson is the best man of the three
for President | like to see a new
President every four years Roose-
welt has been President, so has Taft,
and they were both controlled by the
trusts.
"Wilson has shown that he really
understands the Chinese in the coun-
try, and that he does not believe in
the common theory that all China
