England stands with Germany, The
United States and Germany are the

decadence socially.
Social decadence must lead to polit-
ical decadence, as is always the case in
history on the other hand. Americans
know that if the worlds peace is pre-

only by the German kaiser, therefore
there is no reason why any i'll feeling

England always has been defeated
by American diplomacy. Conditions

ments expressing the needs of the city.
Other municipal departments are go

An American" which reads:
"Flippant and insincere prattling OF

Praise for Work by Carriers

Though the Yuletide business at
the post Office exceeded by SO per

was almost swamped with Christmas
packages, all of the parcels have
been delivered Assistant Postmas-
ter Tyrrell today expressed him ap-
probation of the efficient work OF
the postal carriers and clerks dur
ing this season.
About a dozen letters were re-
ceived from innocent children ad-
dressed to Santa Claus. They were
turned over to the Salvation Army
and, in cases that showed that the
writer to Santa Claus was not likely
to be remembered elsewhere. the
Army officers did all they could to
keep the conception of Kris Kingie
in their childish minds by bringing
presents to the home or giving the
letter to some one who would act as
Santa to them.

POLICE PATROL
DOUBTFUL NOW
Acting Mayor Garretson's
Reasons for Opposing 1t.

1t appears unlikely that the city
Council will purchase an automobile
patrol and ambulance for at least a
month or more. The subject will
probably he brought up at an ad-
journed meeting of the BOARD Mon
day night and laid over Indefinitely.
The proposition of pensioning
Truant Officer John Meshrow and
naming two additional patrolman
will probably be taken up at the first
committee meeting of the new Board
of Aldermen, Friday night, January
3.
Acting Mayor Garretson says he
will not vote for the purchase of an
ambulance and patrol Monday night
as he feels he could not decide in
telligently at this time. He pro-
poses to view motor propelled am
bulance and patrol vehicles at the
automobile show In New York the
second week of January. The exc
cutive also wants the maintenance
and operating costs of such ma
chine figured down to an economic
basis before a purchase is made. He
says the ambulance was out but
about 500 times the past year. He
estimates it would not be profitable
to have a reserve officer for so few
calls.
Mr.. Garretson has thus far re-
ceived about dozen applications for
positions on the police force. In case
Of appointment the successful candi-
dates will probably have to pass ex-
animation as to physical and educa-
tional ability.

COPS TOLD TO
MAKE REPORTS
Must Not Omit Anything in
Future, Says Chief.

Police officers must be more active
in the future in making reports OF
happenings on their respective posts.
Chief of Police Burke reprimanded
Patrolman James MCGOWAN last
night. Patrolman Israel Weitzen re-
ported off duty on account of being
sick. AS soon as he returns he will
be asked to make a detailed report of
an alleged attempted hold up on his
post early yesterday morning. He
will also be instructed to show cause
why he failed to report the incident.
Every happening in line with the
breach of the peace, accidents, block
ing of public property, etc, must be
reported In policemen's note books,
no matter how Insignificant, Chief
Burke states. He summoned Patrol
man MCGOWAN and scored him for
failing to make note of fight be-
tween two brothers. The officers
excuse was that he deemed the Incl
dent so small as to be unworthy OF
mention. The chief replied that, II
for no other purpose, the reports
should be made to set the newspaper
men right. so that small incidents
would not be exaggerated.
Acting Mayor Ferd Garretson per-
sonally inspected Patrolman Welt
zen's book to learn of his report of
alleged holdup of Theykild Samsoe,
youth. of 429 Baker place. Ser
geant McDermott showed him Welt
zen's book and it was learned he had
failed to make a report OF any kind
since Christmas night. He worked
Thursday night and yesterday sent
word to headquarters that he was un
able to report for duty last night be-
cause of cramps in the legs. Sam
soc Is purported to have told Welt
zen that two men chased him from
the intersection of New Brunswick
avenue and Washington street. prob
ably in an attempt to rob him, about
1 o'clock yesterday morning. Sam
soc says he ran up the hill toward
the city hospital and escaped.

To all the welcome Governor Wilson
merely bowed his Acknowledgements,
because his doctor had forbidden him

HOT FIGHT ON
GOVERN0RSHIP
James Smith Will Oppose
Mayor Whittpenn of Jersey
City for Nomination.
FORCES ARE LINING UP
Whittpenn Refused to Let
Smith Have Hudson Dele
cation at Baltimore.
FORCES ARE LINING UP
(From the NEWS Correspondent.)


Trenton, Dec. 28:-Interest is
growing daily in the approaching
campaign for the governorship, riv-
aling the attention that is being paid
to the opening of the session of the
new legislature, and in the opinion
of most State House politicians the
fight for the nomination for COVER
nor In the three leading political
parties will be the most warmly con-
tested of any in recent years. More
attention Is being given just now to
the Democratic contest than either
to the Republican or Progressive.
This is due to the fact that the lead
ers Of the campaign to make Mayor
H. Otto Wittpenn, of Jersey City,
the Democratic candidate, are fore
ing the fight.
This early activity in the Wittpenn
camp is due to the break between
James Smith, Jr, and Mayor Witt
penn over the selection of the dele
gates in Hudson county to the Demo
cratic national convention at Balti-
more, 1t is now an open political
secret that former Senator Smith
/
remain quiescent during the primary
campaign last May as far as Hudson
county was concerned in the selec-
tion of the delegates. 1t is said that
Senator Smith was willing to permit
Mayor Wittpenn to issue a state
ment endorsing Governor Wilson for
the presidency, If he then would sit
quiet and let Smith carry off the
Hudson county delegates. 1t is de,
ciared further that II the mayor
would take this stand, he was told
that he would have the support OF
Senator Smith for the governorship.
Mayor Wittpenn fatty refused to
have anything to do with the bar
gain proposed by the former United
States senator. The mayor then
jumped into the delegate fight and
not only carried the two Hudson
county congressional districts, but
rolled up such a majority in the
Hudson end OF the Eighth District
as to overcome the Smith vote in the
Essex end, and thus carry this dis
trict, too. Mayor Wittpenn, there
fore, was directly responsible for the
selection of six of the Wilson dele
gates from New Jersey at Baltimore.
Following this victory, it is said,
former Senator Smith sent word to
Mayor Wittpenn that he need expect
no further political preferment in
New Jersey. So the war is now on
to the bitter end between the one
