CIVIL SERVICE TO
CONTINUE PROTEST
OVER CUSTODIAN
Pres. Seligman to Call Meet
ing, Holding Smith Is Not
Entitled to Position.
special to the Evening Star.

Special to the Evening Star.
TRENTON, Aug. 26.-It is under
stood here that Benjamin Seligman'
of Newark, president of the New Jer'
sey Civil Service Association, will eah
meeting of that body to protest
against the action of the State comp
troller and State treasurer in COM
pensating John A. Smith, of Cam
den, the new custodian of the state
House. The alleged illegality of the
appointment of Mr.. Smith without
civil service examination is under
consideration by the Civil Service
Commission.
Mercer Council No. of the State
Civil Service Commission and the
New Jersey Civil Service Reform AS
ISOLATION some time ago filed protests
with the Civil Service Commission
and the State House Commission
against the appointment of Mr.. Smith
without a competitive examination
Mr.. Smith today received his nrst sal
airy as custodian, dating from August
Is.
Just when President Seligman will
call meeting of the State body to file
a protest against the payment of Mr..
Smiths salary has not been deter
mined. The next meeting of the as.
ISOLATION is subject to the call of the
president.
When the Civil Service Commission
recently sustained the legality of MI
Smiths appointment Comptroller Ed
ward I. Edwards replied and said that
Mr.. Smith was exempt from civil SER
vice examinations under the act by
which the State House Commission
appointed him.
The commission, it was thought,
took this as final, because it practical
ly surrendered when 1t offered to let
Attorney General John W.. Wescott
decide whether he was or not. The
attorney-genera1 had previously de-
cided that he was exempt.
1t was taken that the Civil Service
Commissioner action was merely an
attempt to retire gracefully from the
whole thing. The rumor of coming
meeting, however, shows that the dis
agreements is not over yet.

WILSON LEAGUERS
FROWN ON FUSION
Will Not Enter Into a Discussion
of Project, Says Presi-
dent Armitage.

All efforts to fuse the Progressive
party with the Wilson Leaguers have
failed to date. This information was
given out today by officials of the
league. Last night another silent
meeting of the Wilson Leaguers was
held but there was nothing doing"
as far as the Progressives were con-
cerned. Plans were discussed for
placing a full county ticket in the
field and not one word was spoken on
the fusion subject.
John L. Armitage, president of the
league. stated today that there Is
nothing definite on the fusion move
ment, but that there was a feeling
both for and against the plan.
I'VE shall have another executive
meeting tonight" said Mr.. Armitage
"but we shall not enter into discus
sion of any fusion movement. Many
are trying their best to break up the
league by fusion, while the majority
seem to be in favor of remaining true
to the old colors.'
Yesterday a report was given out
that "all was fixed to fuse" This
was absolutely denied today by the
president of the league and Nathan
Kussy, its secretary.
Tomorrow night there will be a
meeting of the committees appointed
by the Republican, Democratic and
Progressive parties. At that time
plans will be discussed for fusion. II
is said that everything is being done
by several in the Wilson League to
bring about fusion just to ''get
square" whatever is meant by that

SEES DANGER FOR
ENGLAND, SHOULD
OSTEND Be TAKEN
London Paper Believes City
Will Be Basis of Operations
Against British.

LONDON, Aug. 26.-The Daily Mail
believes that the Germans will occupy
Ostend for use later as a base of
operations against England. 1.-THE
German movement against Ostend is
Of great Importance and is dictated
possibly by naval as well as military
consideration" says the paper.
"ostend is only sixty-six miles off
the British coast. If the Germans
establish themselves there and bring
up heavy artillery they may render 1T
dangerous base of operations
against England. Airships acting
from it could watch the Channel and
the Thames and carry out raids
against Great Britain.
From a naval standpoint Ostend
is well equipped to serve as a refuge
and harbor. II it were strongly held
by land several German warships
might attempt a dash thither from
Wilhelmshaven and Helgoland. They
then could carry out harassing war
fare against shipping in the channel
and await favorable opportunity for
disembarking expeditionary forces for
the British Isles"
