FERRY SERVICE
TOPIC Of KICKS
Passengers Using Boats to
TottenviIIe are Protesting
Against Schedule on Account
of Delay in Getting to Work.

Passengers using the ferry be-
tween this city and Tottenville dur
ing the past few days are protesting
against the schedule maintained by
the ferryboat Tottenville, running
on the route while the ferryboat
Perth Amboy Is being overhauled at
the Rapid Transit Company's shop
at Clifton, Staten Island. Saturday
and most of yesterday only train
trips were. made by the boat and
some of them were considerably be-
hind the regular schedule. During
the fog early Saturday morning
some of the trips were more than
an hour behind time. Ever since the
ferryboat Tottenville has been here
as a spare boat there has been more
or less trouble getting back and
forth across the sound.
The boat is about forty feet longer
than the Perth Amboy~ and Is much
harder to handle. More men are re-
quired on the boat and considerable
trouble Is experienced to get the
craft in and out of the slips on both
sides of the sound. When the boat
comes out Of the Tottenville slip a
hawser must be used to swing the
craft around before It can be headed
down the sound to come to this city.
In coming out of the Perth Amboy
slip at times the boat almost touch
es the Staten Island shore and has
to back up before going to Totem
vile. Some of the passengers were
loud in denouncing the way they are
compelled to wait for an hour or
more between trips, and would bring
the matter to the attention of the
Public Service Commission Of New
York.

patriotic discourse as 1t may be more
aptly defined, was part of an espec-
tally arranged Thanksgiving service
for the Junior Order Of United Amer
lean Mechanics, the Daughters of
Liberty and the Daughters of Ameri-
ca, who assembled in bodies.
The church was crowded, even the
gallery being filed. On either side
of the lectern stood huge flag, one
of the country and one of the Me-
chanics order. Special music was
given by the choir, under the direc-
ton of Miss G. NJ Arner, and Amer
ica" was appropriately sung. Yester-
day was set apart by the Mechanics
order Of the country to give thanks
to God for bounties received the past
year, in anticipation of the national
Thanksgiving Day, Thursday.
Thanksgiving Blessing.
After reading the proclamation of
the Mechanics order, sent out by the
state organization to each local coun-
Gil in which yesterday was set aside
as a day of Thanksgiving to God for
the blessings received during the
past year, Mr.. Bawden launched his
discourse by quoting from the latter
part of Lincolns memorable Gettys-
burg address, which was recited in
the public schools by the pupils dur
ing the past week, as follows: 1t
is rather for us to be here dedicated
to the great task remaining before
us: that from these honored dead we
take increased devotion to that cause
for which they gave the last full
measure of devotion; that we here
highly resolve that these dead shall
not have died in vain; that this
nation, under God, shall have a new
birth of freedom; and that govern
ment of the people, by the people,
and for the. people shall not perish
from the earth. -
The speaker declared that for
more than a century and quarter
the experiment in free government
had been in progress on our shores,
that fifty years had passed since
these principles had been tested, and
that it is well to now ask whether
this freedom shall continue. "There
are still some that regard our gov
ernment as an experiment" he said.
There are people in Europe who
still believe we are making a grave
mistake" The speaker said, even
after century and a quarter of free
government the solution of the prob
lem cannot be guaranteed. Contin
uing: There is no other country so
large as ours giving Its citizens the
freedom that we enjoy. Even Great
Britain does not give this freedom.
What is Freedom?
' What is this freedom?' some
may ask" said the speaker. He
spoke of book written by Oscar S.
Straus. giving the biography of Roger
Williams, as describing that freedom
based on the revolutions and reform
ations brought about by Martin
Luther, Oliver Cromwell and Roger
Williams. The first lessened the
power of the Roman Catholic church

i've souvenir bulletins were distrib
uted to the audience. 1t was an
nounced that the sermon next Sun,
ed by the men, viz, Religion Be
tween Sundays, especially Saturday
The quartette composed of Messrs
Jesse Slaight, Ramsay Crowell, Ash
er Randolph and Fred Breigs sang:
zone Sweetly Solemn Thought" and
Shadows OF the Evening Hour"
This was followed by Offenbach s
anthem, "God that Madest Heaven
and Earth" with violin obligato by
Miss Grieye, sung by the full chorus
choir. The offertory number was
cornet solo by Mrs. S. r. Mckay
THE Palms. Faure.
The pastor at the beginning took
occasion to thank the publicity de-
partment, Of which Mr.. Frank Rey-
nolds is superintendent, for their
faithful work, and The EVENING
NEWS for its generous treatment
of the service.
The subject had been chosen by
the men in charge: "Pacemaking
Men," The text was Matt. $40,
Except Your Righteousness Exceed
:" The pastor acknowledged
his Indebtedness to Mr.. Jens Jen-
sen, the author of the city slogan.
There is an unworthy kind of
striving to exceed by putting other
men back and down, but the right
kind of excellence is the pacemaking
kind, that rather draws others out
and on. So the pacemaker is:
its mother, the bicycle by the motor
its mother, the biclcle by the motor
cycle, the freshmen by the varsity
eight, the pupil by the coach. Each
is a friend. The pacemaker draws
others to do their best.
2. The Pacemaker picks the way.
He must exercise initiative and he
must execute the plan, negotiate the
obstacles. 1t takes courage and
risk.
8. And the pacemaker must be
swift, swifter than those he PAGES.
1t is not enough to choose the way,
he must be able to lead in the open
stretches. He must not be so absorb
ed in the result that he fails in the
process. A batter is sometimes SO
concerned about bringing in the
runs that he strikes out.
In applying these principles to
religious life Christian "pacemaker"
seems to fit the need of our time
better than Christian soldier. 1t
is religion In progress.
Christ taught his disciples that
they must exceed the world in right
eousness. The standards of the
Gentlles, the Publicans, the Scribes
and the Pharisees were not sufficient
for Christianity. Unless they did
better than that they could not be
numbered at all In the kingdom Of
God. 0 yes, you must face the
ness seeking Pharisees.
'If ye love them that love you,
what reward have ye?" The Publi-
cans do the same. A cat loves her
own. A hawk will defend her own.
A Hottentot would love them that
love him. Christ didn't come to
teach right animal instinct or ma
ternal affection. He started with
that and went on. We must exceed
them and give little bit Of love
to those that don't love US, to our
enemies, love our neighbors beyond
what the Gentiles ever did, and love
someone we can't see, even God.
Do you expect to get credit for
loving your own child? Our right
eousness must exceed that of poll
tics. society and business.
In view of the constituency of our
Perth Amboy church
ought to be the best organized In
the State.

El Paso, Tex, Nov. 24.--With the
rebel and federal armies massed
south of Juarez, the general belief
here today was that the expected bat
tie between them could not long be
delayed. The federals have evident
ly been manouevering to draw VII
las forces outside of the city to the
point where the battle-ground would
be more favorable to the federals.
The main body of Villas troops are
about twenty-five miles below Jua-
rez. villa himself has been moving
back and forth between this camp
and Juarez since Saturday. Early
today he left for the scene on spe-
cial train announcing that on his ar
rival he would order his troops to
advance. IL the federals do not give
battle Villa said he would pursue
them as far south of Chihuahua, il
necessary. 1t is not seriously be-
lieved, however, that Villa would
carry out this, purpose, as he fears
that a federal force, supposed to be
hidden near Guadalupe, may attempt
a thanking movement and attack Jua-
rez. villa thinks the federals are
out of supplies and must fight. The
contending forces are said to number
about 10000, six thousand federals
and about 1000 rebels.

Special by United Press Wire,

New Brunswick, Nov. 24.-Wii-
liam c. Carr, Pennsylvania railroad
engineer, who stuck to his post and
stopped his train, the Philadelphia
and New York express, after he had
been seriously scalded, was out of

him with steam.
He had been terribly scalded by
steam from a collapsed boiler tube
and Just before losing consciousness
he had shut the throttle, applied the
brakes and made sure that the train
wouldn't run on without a guiding
hand.
His fireman, who was on the other
side of the cab, says that Carr spoke
of something wrong with the loco
motive soon after the train left
Trenton, but 1t did not seem serious.
The train was nearing Milestone
Junction when steam suddenly fill
ed the cab. The fireman when he
was sure that was power was shut
off jumped from the cab and was not
hurt.
The train crew found Carr, lifted
him down from the locomotive and
placed him on stretcher. He was
taken to st. Peters hospital in New
Brunswick by DR.. Donohue, His condi
ton is serious. He is married and
lives in Philadelphia.
The passengers who filled the sew
en- coaches on Carrs train were

Washington, Nov. 24-Affairs

boycott policy has been unqualitiedly

In the opinion of the President the
action of Huerta and agents in de-
claring that this government was
about to recognize the dictator, is q
straw which indicates the way the
wind Is blowing. 1t has been resort
ed to, the administration believes, in
