A good many people now dismayed
at the huge conflict in Europe which
may possibly spread all over the
world, bring up the Scriptural battle
of Armageddon, supposed to be the
great final scrap of the human race,
and apprehend that we may now be
entering upon that colossal struggle.
Maybe SO and maybe not, but here is
what Revelation says about it and
each reader can judge for himself:
For they are the spirits Of devils,
working miracles, which go forth un-
to the kings of the earth, and of the
whole world, to gather them to the
battle of that great day Of God AL
mighty. And he gathered them to-
gether into place called in the
Hebrew tongue, Armageddon."

The growing smallness of the
world and the rapidly increasing
sense of brotherhood among men of
all nations, tribes and languages is
impressively illustrated in the Gag
erness for European war ncws in
every city, town, village and hamlet
in America. Fifty years ago those
nations across the ocean might
have fought each other to exhaus-
tion without arousing any but scant
interest among the masses of the
American people, but now we are
only less keen for the news than il
the guns were laundering at our
doors. Slowly but surely the human
race is drawing nearer to the
federation of the world" and the
parliament of man" when war
drums will throb no LONGER and the
autocracy of kings and kaisers will
have disappeared from the earth. 1t
is no wild guess to say that the pres
ent war, if long protracted will
make an end of thrones in Europe,
for it will pierce through the dull
est peasants brain in time that the
guilt of all the slaughter and devas-
tation and widespread physical and
moral wreck Of war must be placed
upon the heads of autocratic rulers,
without whose dynastic ambitions
and medieval prejudices which made
them the anointed of the Lord, there
would have been no conflict.

Mr.. DUNHAM
RESIGNS PLACE

This morning Samuel B. Dunham
resigned from the Board of Freehold
ers to assume the position of Jury
Commissioner Accompanying the
resignation was the following letter:
Gentlemen:
ut is with considerable hesitation
and some regret that / tender to you
herewith my resignation. It has been
my fortune to be member of your
Board for fifteen years last past, and
the friendships and associations
formed during that period, I will ever
cherish with fond recollections.
II had hoped to be present and
personally express my thanks and ap-
probation for the courtesies and kind
ness extended to me by each member
of the Board and its officers, during
the term, which, looking into the fu-
ture would seem a long while, but
viewing it from the past has been all
too short 1t would be ungrateful in
me not to feel and be cognizant of
the debt of my gratitude owe to
those with whom / have been associ-
ated And it would be remiss upon
my part at this, which to me, is q
solemn hour, not to express the hope
which I have of being. able in tho
course of time, as opportunity affords,
to, repay in a measure, by whatever
kindness and help I am able to rem
der, the obligations which feel, and
to this end, I pledge my sincere en-
deavors.
Very truly yours,

FREEHOLDERS
MEET TO-DAY
last Meeting of Board for
the Year.
ROAD MATTERS.
Some Interes ting Matters Will
Be Taken Up by the County
Legislators To-day.

Cumberland County's Board of
Chosen Freeholders are in session to-
day, and busy and somewhat i'm
portant session is likely to result.
1t is the last regular meeting of
the Board for this year. Unless there
should be special session for some
purpose, the next meeting of the
Board of Chosen Freeholders will con-
vene on Friday, January 1st. The
meet ng today will be the last regular
session which will be attended by
Henry W. Schnitzer of Fairfield, and
Jacob Zimmerman of the Fifth Ward,
Millville. These two gentlemen will
retire with the end of the present
year.
Before today's meeting adjourns
there will likely be some important
business transacted. County Solici-
tor Roscoe c. Ward has ready for the
Board to pass upon,. the proposed
short term bond issue to make good
| the deficite in the Court expenses ac-
count, that appropriation having been
overdrawn to the amount of probably
$4,000.
| 1t is expected that the Board will
take up road matters. 1t is under
stood that the State Department is
ready to join with the county to build
an improved road from Carll's Cor
| ner to Vineland and on through Ian
Ids township to the Atlantic County
line. Some method of providing sunls
| for the county's share of this i'm
provement will be considered.
| 1t is also quite likely that the Mill
vile members will urge the improve
ment of the Cape May road from Mill
)ville to Mauricetown road. Las
week State Commissioner of Roads
stevens said that he would certainly
Improve the same road from Maurice.
ltown to the Cape May County line
thus providing an excellent highway
by the State Prison Farm.
All of the members were present al
the meeting of the Board this morn
ling, with Director Henry Bacon in tht
chair. The Board convened shortl,
after 10 o'clock.
Following the reading of the min
utes the Board took up the consider
alton of bills approved by the finance
committee yesterday. and these bill:
were being paid as this edition Of thu

A REPORT
OF WEIGHT

An instance of the wasteful and inn
practical methods of the State Educa-
tional Department is shown in the
recent issue of the annual reports of
that organization. The report COM
prises two volumes of printed matter,
the books being bound in paper.
The report covers the work of the
year from July l, 1912, to June 30,
1913.
Volumu one is book of 512 printed
pages exclusive of the index and COW
er. This volume has what reports
there are made by the department, to-
gether with copies of many decisions
handed out by the Commissioners.
Volume two is book of 1850 print
ed pages exclusive of the cover. The
entire contents are a mass of figures
in table form showing various attend
ance figures and school averages, etc,
of every district in the state AL of
volume two has not been read by any
one since its being in type excepting
by the printers proof reader, and
none ever will wade through any part
of the useless document.
The two volumes comprise 1852
pages of printed matter exclusive OF
the index, weigh five and half pounds,
and the cost of printing was several
thousands of dollars, wanton waste
of money that should be applied to
the schools.
There is one item that should in
terest the taxpayers Of the State,
printed upon pages s8 and 80 Of vol
ume one 1t shows the following ex-
.enditures:

vile; Addison Bateman, Cedarville:
Joseph Corson, Cedarville; John
Sheaffer, Cedarville; Mrs. Rose New
lin and her daughter-in-iaw, Mrs.
George Newlin, of Cedarville. All Of
these Witnesses testified as to the
sound mind of Mrs. Mary H. Down
ham and her ability to handle her af-
fairs, most them, however, saying
that Fred H. Duffield managed most
of her affairs for her.
Walter H. Bacon in summing up for
the proponent, said that he had con-
sidered his part to be the proving of
the sound condition of the mind of
the deceased.
J. Hampton Fithian, for the cavea-
tors, claimed undue influence exerted
by the proponent upon Mrs. Downham
showing the steps through which she
was taken, in which two wills figured
one favoring the proponent in de-
gree and the final one making him her
sole legatee.
Counsel Bacon closed saying that
he had not been cognizant of any tes-
timony as to undue influence exertad
by anyone at all and asked for a de-
cision in favor of his client.
Judge Loder announced that his
decision would be handed down on
Friday next, December the 18th.
