GREAT STIR MADE
THROUGH JERSEY
Solving Proverb Puzzle Pictures
Is Rapidly Becoming a
General Fad.

The Proverb Contest, which today
enters upon its second week, gives
promise of far exceeding in interest,
any similar contest that has ever
been conducted by the Evening Star.
This interest is manifested In the
greatly increased demand for the
paper; In the number Of inquiries re-
ceived at The Star office and in the
demand for the new book of proverbs.
Many commendatory letters are
being received which show that the
arrangement of the prizes meets with
general approval. The concensus of
opinion seems to be that the division
of the amount of last years first prize
Q,000) into three prizes Of $500, $500
and 5000 is more highly favored
Then, too, the fact that no prize of
less than S. is to be awarded gives
all contestants the knowledge that, If
they win at all, they will win enough
to at least compensate them for the
time and trouble of working out the
puzzle pictures. Nearly $4,000 in
cash is to be awarded. One hundred
prizes are to be given ranging in
value from $500 down to IS.
But, aside from the value of the
prizes to be won, the fact must not
be lost sight of that such contest is
highly educational in it's scope. That
the solving of puzzle pictures requires
effort. determination and concentra-
ton Of thought and these traits are
just those that should be encouraged
in the young, 1t is q contest In which
entire families may join with pleas
ure and prof1t-a contest that has
been highly commended by men and
women of highest standing and Gull
ture.
Today's picture, No. 7 in the series
of sixty, will be found on page two of
this paper
Turn to it and see IL you cannot find
a well-known proverb to fit it. This
will give you an idea as to what the
contest Is.
Any legitimate questions bearing
on the contest will be answered by
the proverb editor under the head of
Queries and Answers which will be
found under the .proverb picture from
time to time.

Threat of Return to Dark
Ages in Present War, Says
Preacher in Westminster

LONDON, Oct. 19.--The Rev. DR..
w. r. Inge dean of st. Paul's, deliv-
cred an impressive war sermon in
Westminster Abbey yesterday.
1--WE have read" he said. "our
newspapers since the beginning of
August and have seen nothing but
triumphant and UNPUBLISHED deyiltry.
We refresh our memories by reading
that passage of Plato's Republic in
which the Pagan philosopher 2300
years ago draws up his laws of
civilized warfare-non-c ombatants to
be spared, no houses to be burned, no
farms to be devasted, the dead to be
buried honorably, no trophies of war
to be placed in the temples of the
gods, and then we read of the ex-
ploits of the self-styled apostles of
culture who dare to claim the favor
of a Christian God, or we think of
these horrible words of their ae-
credited spokesman on the ethics OF
war: Cause the greatest possible
amount of suffering; leave to the
nom combatants nothing but their
eyes to weep with; the law of Chris
tian charity has no bearing on the re-
lations of one nation to another
DR.. Inge then asserted that If retri-
button did not follow surely force
alone was king.
Force, perfidy and the iron discip-
line of the camp of Napoleon" he
said, SIS too strong for Christ. The
Corsican and not the Galileean has
conquered and for us who have not
i worshipped this Moloch, who have
kept our ornaments at the bare limit
of safety, is 1t possible our reward
may be to see this Abbey share the
fate of Rheims and Oxford that OF
Louvain? We hope to win in this
war, but II not, be it known unto
thee, o Emperor, we will not serve
thy gods nor worship the blood
stained image of iron thou hast set
up.
IAN unfortunate junction of forces
| might easily plunge us back into the
Dark Ages. 1t may depend upon
America, England, and France tc
maintain the ideals of liberty, justice
fair play, and gentleness until the
tyranny of militarism is overthrown.'

SAYS JEALOUSY
IS CAUSE OF WAR
So Asserts Speaker at Suffrage
Tea of Women's PoIit-
zeal Union.

Thomas F. Meaney, jr., of Jersey
City, secretary to Naval officer III.
Otto Wittpenn, was the speaker yes
terday afternoon at the first of a
series of suffrage teas given by the
members OF the Women's Political
Union, at it's headquarters, 70 Halsey
street. Mr. Meaney, in the course OF
his address, referred to the present
European war. He declared the war
ALI wars in fact-are the result or
jealousy.
II firmly believe" said the speaker,
that when the vote is granted to
women situations such as these VIII
be settled without bloodshed. 1t Is the
most natural thing in the world that
the parental instinct in woman Will
prevail when deciding such questions.
I am quite sure that women's infiu-
ence in government matters would
work against war and eventually
form the anti-war spirit"
In speaking of the suffrage refer
endu1n he declared that a legislator
has no moral right to keep the peo-
pie from saying whether or not they
want woman suffrage. He pointed
out that many legislators when on
the stump "let the people rule" but
when they get down to Trenton they
say II am the people"
"The State he continued, exists
for the individual and not the indi-
vidual for the State.
Mrs Nina c.. Van Wrinkle, the presi-
dent of the league, in brief address
urged the women to wear their old
clothes until the vote Is won and to
devote the money which they would
spend on new clothes to the campaign
fund. In her reference to present con-
ditions in Europe she declared that
the American people are manufacture
ing bullets and guns and sending them
to Europe on the same ships that
carry the Red Cross funds In her
argument for the cause she made her
point that II women had a say in the
government they would not allow
that sort of thing.
The meeting was followed by a
social hour. The hostesses were Mrs.
William H. CASTOR and Mrs. George
Marsh. Announcement was made OF
the ball to be held at the Palace Ball
room November 30; the meeting
scheduled for November Q. at the Y.
w. C. A., and of the tea next Sun
day, when Gerald e. F. Mcdonald
nominee for Congress on the Demo
cratic ticket, will be the speaker.

Industrial Depression in
China Owing to the War

Leslie G. Matthews, manager or
Standard oil Company's lubricating
oil department in China with head
quarters at Hankow, in a letter to his
father, George II. Matthews, of 40l
Mt. Prospect avenue, tells Of great
Industrial depression because OF the
European war.
In Hankow. 10000 coolies, usually
employed as longshoremen, are out of
work and all foreign residents have
armed themselves in anticipation of
rioting by the hungry men. He
speaks of the Chinese distrust of the
Japanese and gives an instance OF It..
The Japanese asked for conces-
sion of land near Hankow for the
purpose of erecting hospital. They
got the land and put up q building
which turned out to be, when COM
pleted, a fort with garrison of 1,5OO
Japanese soldiers.
Mr. Matthews was a pupil at the
Barringer High School with Leroy
Putnam, of 1856 North Sixth street,
who also is in Hankow now.

appeal to the Democratic party in ten
Southern States for concerted action
in relieving the cotton situation to-
day was issued here by General Blbb
Graves chairman of the State Demo-

DUFFY'S NAME ON
BALLOT TO STAY
Justice Swayze Denies McDon-
aids Application for Rule to
Strike II off.

Supreme Court Justice Swayze to-
day denied the application of Gerald
e. F. Mcdonald for a rule to show
cause why the name of Thomas j.
Duffy should not be stricken from the
ballot as candidate for Congress in
the Eighth congressional district. Mr..
Mcdonald received the Democratic
nomination at the primaries and Mr..
Duffy filed his petition as an indie
pendent candidate on petition. The
rule asked for was directed against
Duffy and the county clerks of both
Essex and Hudson counties.
The application was made to Judge
Swayze in his home, 765 High street.
MIR. Mcdonald was accompanied by
his counsel, George w. Anderson. The
petition attacked the candidacy of MI.
DUFFY on the ground that he will not
be twenty-five years old until Janu-
airy, 1916. Under the constitution of
the United States members of the
House of Representatives are required
TO be at least twenty-five years old.
Justice Swayze refused to grant the
rule, saying that he regretted that he
must do SO although he believed the
cause to be n worthy one. He was
inclined to agree, he said, with the
opinion of the attorney general In his
report to the secretary of state. In
his opinion, 1t was said that as the
House of Representatives was made
the sole judge of its membership the
courts could not interfere with that
function.
Mr.. Mcdonald, who took part in
the argument, urged that the election
of Mr.. Duffy was not attacked. 1t
could not be attacked, as 1t had not
yet been held He contended that 1t
was Immediately within the. jurisdic-
ton of the court before any election
had been held, although 1t might not
be afterward. Justice Swayze, how
ever, did not hold with him.

Grain Market

CHICAGO, Oct. 19.-Sharply higher
prices at Liverpool led today to an
advance in the wheat market here.
The record breaking exports from
the United States in September
counted also in favor of the bulls.
and so, too, did the continued fall
ing off in spring crop receipts north
west. Liberal selling on the part of
a couple of big houses failed to check
the speculative demand. After open

Fine weather eased corn at the
outset. Later, however, prices rail-

back and then by a moderate gem
