invitation to all Belgians made homeless
through the war to come to England and
the volunteer war refugees committee
organized by the duchess Of Vendome has
undertaken, with government supervision,
to receive and care for these refugees
Postmaster General Herbert L. Samuel
was loudly cheered in the House OF Com
mons when he referred 20 the fact that
British hospitality had ben extended TO
the Belgians. He said the committee was
in touch with $500 Belgisns now on the
way to England and that thousands of
homeless persons at Malines. Louvain,
Liege and elsewhere In Belgium. who
could not be cared for by their own gov
eminent must seek temporary refuge In
the British isles. Lord Hugh Cecil, chair
man OF the executive committee of the
war refugees committee, and Lady
Lugard in active charge OF the care of
the fugitvcs, already have arranged for
the organization OF committees in fifty
two towns and cities where the refugees
will be sent from London. The commit
tee also will care for the refugees from
Russia, France and other allied countries
Scotch and Welsh towns are especially
anxious to entertain the Belgians and the
committee believes IL can make provision
for a million refugees II necessary. SAM
tary conditions and lack OF food In the
Belgian territory fought over and a prob
able attack on Antwerp doubtless will
make IL necessary for hundreds Of thou

The British government is providing
special boats TO Ostend to transport the
people as rapidly as they gather there.
Women and children are given the prefer
cnce, but many men unfit for military
service also will be transferred to British
territory and later will return to Belgium

miralty, where he has relative, who
had admitted that 10000 Russian troops
had been landed at Ostend Tho Ad-
miralty officials added that the fact
would probably be officially announced
soon. II might seem Incredible that this
great movement of troops could be car
ried out without becoming generally
known. But tho power OF Concealment

governments during this war has been
found to be so astonishing that such a
feat OF mystification is by no means i'm

Mission of the Russians.
II these Russians have been landed in
Belgium, their work will be to cut the
communications OF the Germans. BY all
accounts these communications are not
we'll guarded, all the German forces being
rushed forward 10 carry out the dash to
Paris which It was promised, would be
effected by September ..
The Russian force probably would be
able to exercise decisive influence on
that forward movement and with its long
drawn-out line Of communications, the
German retreat would be dangerous,
perhaps fatal, business.

gets permission to carry the bulk
head to the pierhead line, is approx
mately 215, 700 square feet. This
does not include the street ends of
Madison and Brighton avenues. Such
a fill would add to the city's posses
sion eighty-six lots of 25x100 feet
each.
In order to make the citys hold
ings complete, however, a study of
the plans as here presented, shows
conclusively that the city should also
own the waterfront of the Wonder
land Beach Company, adjoining the
city's present property on the west
and lying between the citys possess
sions and the Central railroad Sew
ersl reasons are advanced why this
Wonderland Beach tract should be
purchased now. In the first place,
there is the price to be considered
1t is well known that waterfront
property on shallow water is of COM
paratively small value. 1t is only af-
ter dredging has been done that the
price IS enhanced. The Wonderland
Beach waterfront Is shallow and
therefore ought to be secured now
Perth Amboy evening news., 1914-05-16

Showing the wonderful possibiliti-
ties of the river waterfront property
which the city has just purchased
from John H. Gregory, Harbor Com
missioner Peter G. Olsen, who has
made a careful study of harbor de-
velopment and who took a leading
part in the negotiations just closed
leading up to the purchase of the
waterfront sites, has had drawing
made of the Gregory tract as 1t would
appear when the proposed improve
ments are completed. Mr.. Olsen has
kept himself much in the background
during the weeks of conferences
while the agreement between the city
and Mr.. Gregory was being whipped
into shape, but those who took part
in these meetings know that credit
for the successful outcome is due
largely to the ceaseless energy, bust
ness ability and unbounded enthus-
iasm Of Mr.. Olsen.
The drawing of the proposed de-
velopment of the Gregory property
by the city, as prepared by Mr.. OIL
sen, is shown above. The plan is ac-
curately drawn to scale and shows
steamer, 800 feet long, and two
barges, each 100 feet long, lying
lengthwise at the dock, and still al
lowing plenty of room for water

The plans as drawn in the accomp
anying illustration provide for the
extension of the present bulkhead
line to the present pierhead line, with
solid fill to the latter point. The
amount of upland actually bought
from Mr.. Gregory, measured from
the northerly line to the southerly
line, which is bounded by Raritan
avenue, is approximately 96,525
square feet. or, If measured in city
lots, 20x100 feet each. ii equals a to-

city also secured with the deal, fifty

as at the present time these waters
