HIGH PRAISE FOR
PRINCE OF WALES
Writer Tells of SoIdierly Quail
tiles Shown by Heir to
Britain's Throne.
by tho Associated Press.

LONDON, Dec. 4.-"The Prince Of
Wales has at last obtained the dear
est wish of his heart, and is present
with the army. He has won golden
opinions" says the military expert
Of the Times in a description of the
life at General French's headquar-
ters.
THE personality of this slight and
almost fragile-looking prince was
but little known to the army until he
Joined it, and now that ii is becom-
ing known it is revelation. He is
among the keenest and hardest SOL
diers in the army. He walks six
miles before breakfast every morning,
drives his own car and spends every
moment of the working day in ac-
quainting himself with the situation
of the trooos and the services of the
army.
"Only last week he occupied a fit
ting cradle for a prince, a house
rocking and shaking day and night
under the constant detonations of
bombardments, and has visited the
trenches, including those of the In
dian army. 1t will be difficult to
keep him out of the firing line of his
grenadiers, and a more Jealous, in
defatigable young officer does not
serve with the kings troops"

BROOKS GAINS IN
RECOUNT OF THIRD
Cuts Cuttings Lead by Thir-
teen Votes in Three
Districts.

Instead of losing votes as usually
happens in recounts the contrasting
candidates for alderman of the
Twelfth ward gained. and both in
creased their original figures in the
recount started by the County Board
of Elections last night. Charles A.
Cutting, the Democrat, who was
elected by thirty votes, according to
the original returns, gained one vote
in the three districts counted last
night, but his opponent, Thomas II.
Brooks, Republican, gained thirteen
votes in the same three districts. SO
that the latter's net gain was twelve
votes Cuttings plurality, therefore,
has been cut to eighteen.
The gains by both candidates were
made in the First district, where
fifty-seven ballots had been rejected
by the district election board at the
original count. The county board de-
eided that twenty-five of these bal
lots should be counted for Brooks and
thirteen for Cutting. The rest were
rejected. Both Cutting and Brooks
had other ballots that were original
" counted, rejected last night. When
the count was finished in this district
Brooks had gained nineteen and Glut-
ting thirteen.
The figures for the three districts
are as follows:

CALDWELL PASTOR
GIVEN WELCOME
Rev. Gorrell Quick Is Honored
at Recognition
Service.

Rev. Gorrell Quick, who has just
accepted the pastorate of the First
BAPTIST Church of Caldwell, was ten
tered a recognition service last night
in that church. The service was at
tended by many members of the
churches in Caldwell and neighbor-
ing towns. The meeting also marked
the celebration of three events. 1t was
the first appearance of the Caldwell
Choral Society. Mr.. and Mrs. Quick
celebrated their seventeenth wedding
anniversary the day before and yes
terday was the both anniversary OF
the foundin~ Of the First Presbyte-
rian Church.
William Laws presided. In his
opening remarks he said he had pre-
sided at Ia similar meeting several
years ago in Jersey City, and as Mr..
Quick was pastor of the church at
that time he could vouch for the
character of the man.
The first speaker of the evening was
Rev. Enoch Meacham, pastor of the
Caldwell NJ. E. Church. Mr. Meacn-
am brought the greetings of his
church and said he was pleased to
see so much harmony between the
churches of the town. Rev. Nels
b. Chester, pastor of the First Pr a.
byterian Church of Caldwell, congr ~
ulated Mr.. Quick. He said that a.
though he was not the Oldest pastor
on the platform, he felt very much
that way, as his church was organized
1870 years ago. He had been in Cald-
well longer than the others. he said.
Rev. H. Emerson Fosdick, pastor
of the First Baptist Church of Mont
clair, brought congratulations from
that town. He sought to impress
upon the minds of his hearers that
the suburban church is not small, as
some people say, but much larger than
in large cities, as majority of the
people reside in suburban towns. The
active Christian work should be in
the suburbs, he thought He also
urged the cooperation among, and
said he would like to hear people say,
"Our church. instead of my church"
or your church." The other speaker
was Rev. Albert E. Plue, pastor of
the Livingston Baptist Church.
Rev. Mr.. Quick in his response said
it did not seem like being the new
minister, as he had been preaching in
the church every Sunday for several
months. He hoped he would always
have something new for the people
of Caldwell.
The Caldwell Choral Society in itl,
first public appearance, under the
leadership of Professor Rafael Ma
varro, rendered several anthems. Miss
Helen Hicks sang several soprano
solos. Following the services an in
formal reception was rendered Mr.
and Mrs. Quick in the lecture room
of the church.
