Daniel Ruder, proprietor of the
Iron Bound Storage Warehouse, at
lis New York avenue; William Ryan,

accident on Saturday night when
Henry Thomas, forty years old, a
negro, of 70 Somerset street, was

from the auto van which Ruder was

supposed Thomas jumped off to get it.

Rev. Walter Reid Hunt
Describes Scene During
Mobilization in France

Scenes in France during the mo-
bilization of troops were graphically
described by Rev Walter Reid Hunt,
pastor of the First Unitarian Church,
Orange, at a special service in that
edifice last night. Rev. Mr. Hunt.
who was in Paris with his wife and
mother at the outbreak of the war,
decided to remain until conditions
partially righted themselves, and in
SO doing avoided many of the har-
rowing experiences undergone by
those who insisted on getting out of
the country while the trains were
still being used for the transporta-
ton of troops.
Mobilization of the French troops
began on August 1 and lasted ten
days, according to Mr.. Hunt, during
which time 1t was almost impossible
to travel by rail. When he finally
left Paris, where he had been quar-
terlng. at the oxford and Cambridge
Hotel near the Tuileries. it was on
the last train to carry soldiers. On
the journey from Amiens to Bou-
lougne, which was made by night,
Mr. Hunt remained awake and wit
messed the takings of the SOL
diers on the station platforms as the
train pulled IN. stops were maze all
along the line t. pick up detachments
of men on their way to the front.
These fellows were as brave as
lions and displayed a remarkable
spirit at an especially trying time"
ne declared. He also witnessed the
removal of the mourning wreaths
from the Strassburg statue. and COM
mented upon the complete lack of
noisy demonstrations and the air of
"dead earnestness" of the crowd
which figured in the operation.

ROCKY ROADS TO DUBLIN MORE

THE Rocky Roads to Dublin have
nothing on the Turnpike road in
Kearny, from a rough-riding stand

bring the matter before the Kearny
Town Council at it's next meeting
The cars are operated on either side
of the Turnpike road. A person who
gazes along the rails from the Frank

TEACHER TREATED
WELL BY GERMANS
Every Courtesy Shown East Or

Abroad.

Miss Emily L. MacEwan. OF Ia
North Ninteenth street, East orange
teacher in Battin High School.
Elizabeth. returned from Europe on
Saturday aboard the American liner
G. T.o,1is She was warm in her
praise of the treatment in Germany
she was shown every courtesy IN ner
travels.
Miss MacEwan was in the unlvef-
sitv town of Neutrality-suspicious. Ger
MANY. when the declaration OF war
was announced. AS was only natural
she said. great excitement preValied'
b,1t Americans were told at the out
SET that by remaining within doors
as much as possible and by aVola
ing conversations in English while
upon the streets they would get into
no difficulties. - - Al.
Acting upon the. advice OF the
Anerican consul, most of the tour
lists waited until the demands OF slle
government for transportation SLACK
ened and conditions had become more
normal before attempting to depart
The parties were met at various sta
items nv American relief committees,
who furnished them with food, money
and other necessities. Her departure
was made on special train ~
frankfort. From there she proceeded
to Amsterdam, passing later through
Rotterdam, London, Glasgow anu
finally Liverpool, where a steamer
was in waiting.
During the opening days of mo-
Utilization five Russian spies were shot
by the authorities at Marburg. Their
presence there among number or
Russian students was early dtscov-
cred, and their arrest and execution
followed. At Giessen, another unlVer-
sity town near Marburg, the drink
ing water was poisoned with Typhoid
bacteria, stolen from the laboratory
of the university.
A number of Belgian and British
officers who had been taken prisoners
of war, Miss MacEwan declared, re-
ceived the best of treatment, being
allowed a great deal of liberty to
roam through the town. These men,
who We're awaiting exchange, were
required to report to the police each
day.
On the route from Flushing to
Folkstone, Miss MacEwan saw a
number of Belgian refugees who had
been obliged to flee the country on
short notice and were practically
penniless. They also were cared for
by special committees who supplied
them with food and clothing.
Whether or not the great universe
ties of Germany will open this year Ia
still a question. According to Miss
MacEwan, the Berlin University will
probably open, but it is the general
opinion at present that most of the
others will postpone operations in
definitely.

to Help Democratic Forces

John Randall, of West Orange, who
is the third candidate for mayor of

names on his petition, he said today.
He is annoyed by statements of dis
gruntled supporters of the fusion
ticket, who limited that Mr.. Randall
is in the race to help the Democratic
administration.
81 am a candidate for mayor at the
solicitation of friends" said Mr.. Ran
dali, because there is no regular Re-
publican aspirant in the mayoralty
race. Farnham Yardley is supported
by the Republican, Progressive COM
bination, but he first had the Pro-
gressive Endorsement" Mr.. Randall
was a candidate in previous election
and says he believes he has a good
chance to win, owing to the political
conditions existing in the town.
