Bremerton, the home of the Puge, Sound navy yard has adopted the pol icy of naming advisers who will ln- dertake 10 keep members of the city council in closer touch with the needs and sentiments of thc people of ,he community.
 The citizens who compose the Ad- visory body will assume the name oi the Welfare League.

 There Is no reason why citixena should not band themselves together in efforts to bring about greater ef- ficiency and economy in the public service.
 Very often it is easier to get the results we seek by cooperating with men in the public service in a spirit of friendship and mutual helpfulness than it is to quarrel with them. Some times if we go about 1t in the right way we can persuade public officials to do what they ought to do for the general community good and So avoid the harshness and irritation of the criticism we are prone to heap upon public servants when they do what we l reg,,rd as inlmical to the public good Such seems to be the prime purpose of the Bremerton innovation. and it re- quires no stretch of the imagination to see the possibilities for good in 1t In every community we should un dertake to bring the mass of citizens closer to men in the public service. and to develop a feeling of sympathy be- tween them.

Official Paper
NOME, AlAsKA, JUNE 2. 1914

The action of Secretary Bryan in demanding that tt. revolutionists be recognised by the mediators at the Niagara Falls conference was a wise step and a necessary one under the circumstances.
 The deliberations of the mediators and the representatives of the United States and Huerta without taking Carranxa into consideration would be similar to putting plaster on wood en leg to cure some constitutional dis order affecting the vital organs of the body. Huerta can no longer be con- sidered the main factor in Mexican affairs. There has arisen another power which has grown to such pro- portions that it will soon dominate the whole country as it does now a larger portion of it. Whether or not Car. ranza agrees to cease fighting during the pendency of negotiations. he must be party to any arrangement which deals with the future of Mexico. To continue negotiations in the absence of constitutional representatives is fool- ish in the extreme and the firm stand taken by the administration In de- manding that such representatives be admitted to the conference. and car rying with that demand an implied threat to withdrew the representa- tives of the United States in case of failure to so do will probably have the desired eftect.
 It is evident that this government is looking to more than securing a temporary place to move than secur- ing . temporary peace in Mexico. but will attempt to 50 adjust the affairs oi that country that there may be I estlng peace. if such thing be possible where there are 90 many adjustments to be made before that country can adopt 6 broad and liberal form of Kov. eInment.
 The dispatches of few days ago announcing that the conference wal making progress were in agreement or all the important terms upon whicf negotiations were being made and in' timating that their work would soor be brought to successful end secmi to have been premature. Tho last move on the part of Secretary Rryar would indicate that there is much vel to do and that instead of ignorine Carranxa they are liable if they ds not hasten their work to have hin alone to negotiate with or be put out of business entirely.

NO MATCH

Hudson County Team Easy Vic
Tins for Local Quintet and
Lose, 1910.

There is no doubt among the big
crowd Of fans that witnessed the
basketball struggle at Harmonic Hall,
Belleville avenue. last night. between
the st. Michael Seniors and the
Point Big Five, of Bayonne, that the
local combination will be one of, the
prominent contenders for the inde-
pendent championship of Northern
New Jersey this season. Bewildering
their opponents last night in passing
and goal caging, the Saints de-
feated the Points to the tune of 40
to 20. The Points ere a classy com
bination. as may be seen from the
fact that the team has already
beaten the Bay Views twice this sea-
son: the Troys. of Union Hill, and
played the st. Gabriers, which won
from the Harrison Big Five recently,
to draw. The Points players dis
played skill last night, but they were
up against a team of superior quail
ity. The entire st. Michael team
played well. They passed the ball
and blocked to such an extent that
after taking the lead there never
was any doubt as to the result.
Willie Powers. brother of Charley,
=
jumped in his brothers place last
night. Charley played with the
Crescents. of Paterson, at Troy.

ever. showed surprising from at
the pivot position and his opponent
Lauenstein, who is also a member
of the Harrison Big Five, had
nothing on him in. any part of the
milling. Otto Kelvin made his
debut with the homesters and he too
was in fine form. Otto was the chief
point maker for the Saints" scoring
seven field goals and a pair of free
throws. Gus Re'bi. frankie Boyle
and Marty McEvoy all did their
share In bring their team to victory.
For the Points, McIntrye. who will
probably play with the Bay Views
tomorrow, did the best work. Mac"

BREAKERS AHEAD
FOR WHEELMEN
Local Basketball Team Will
Meet Strong Opposition in
Crescents and st. GabrieIs.

The new scheme in arranging
double-headers for the basketball fol-
lowers of the Bay ViBF Wheelmen is
likely to be success. The scheme
viii be tried out tomorrow, when the
Wheelmen team will meet the Cres-
cents, of Paterson. in the afternoon
and the st. Gabriels, of New York,
in the evening From all indications
it appears as though the Wheelmen
are in for double trouncing unless
they display an unusual quality of
play. The Crescents are members Of
the New York State League and are
rated as one of the fastest teams on
the court. The st. Gabriels handed
out defeat to the Harrison Big Five
on the West Hudson court Thursday
night, and this alone gives indication
that the local team will have to play
at top speed to take the New York.
ers into camp.
Preliminary games will precede the

LOuvain Faculty Can Be
Secured by Americans

PRINCETON, Nov. THAT Amer
lean universities have an opportu-
nifty to secure the faculty of the
University of Louvain. Belgium, was
the statement of Samuel P. Capen,
of the National Bureau of Educa-
ton, here yesterday. He wasladdress-
ing the sixteenth annual meeting of
the Association of American Uni
versities.
DR.. Capen stated that he has been
informed by professors at Cambridge
University, England, that the facul-
ty of the University of I1ouvain are
now at Cambridge in the hope of
finding work. The English profess
ors, he declared, say the attendance
at the colleges of Great Britain does
not warrant an addition to the fac
ulty.
Dr. Capen said there is no doubt
that American colleges can secure
the services of these men.
