APPROVE PLANS
FOR ADDITION To
PUBLIC LIBRARY

At a meeting of the Library Board
held last night plans for the con-
struction of the proposed new addi-
ton to the public library building,
as drawn by Architects Jensen Il
Brooks, were adopted. Specifications
will be sent out and bids will be re-
ceived at an early date. 1t was de-
cided to restrict bids TO local con-
tractors and as far as possible ma
terials made In Perth Amboy will be
used.
Members OF the board we're at
Plainfield Sunday and it is stated
that the new building will present
en- appearance much similar to the
public library at that place. The
plans provide for the construction of
wooden floors for the first story and
for three rooms of the basement.
The remainder of the basement will
be floored with cement. A tentative
sketch OF the building will be placed
in Albert Leon's window for inspec-
ton by the public The library COM
missioners were undecided as to the
make of brick to be used in the con-
struction of the addition and Will
visit Newark at an early date for the
purpose of comparing brick used in
various buildings of that city in re-
gard to their adaptability.
Those present at the meeting last
night were Mayor Garretson, Messrs.
Kitehel, Leon. Miller and Waring.
As vice president, DIR. Kitchel pre-
sided In the absence of Mr.. Antisell.

ports that in some parts of the city

not confirmed said the National bank
OF Mexico City had been threatened.
Copies OF Mexico City newspapers
received show Carranza still controls
the metropolitan press. In these
papers and on hand bills distributed
throughout the capital. copies of
which were brought here today, are
violent denunciatioDs of the actions
of the Aguas Calienties convention
In demanding that Carranza step
down In favor OF General Gutierrez.
General Gutierrez has carried out
his program and today proclaimed
himself provisional president of the
republic. American military author

Of Breslau and ten miles inside the
German frontier.
Two drives are now being made BY
the Russians toward Berlin. The adj
vance In East Prussia continues to
meet with success, with the Russians
steadily pressing forward. The Rus
sian front is now nearly ten miles
within East Prussia. The Germans
have been driven from Virbalien and
the territory from Wirballen to Lyck

Undoubtedly the NEST Important
Russian success Is the invasion OF the
province of PoSen.

Specie, by United Press Wire.
Paris, Nov. 10:-The allied lines
today are holding solidly against a
fierce attack of the Germans in the
vicinity of Ypres. At the war office
1t is declared the enemy is bringing
tremendous pressure OF bear in what
would seem to be a supreme effort
to crush the allied defense. The
roar of big guns is incessant and the
Germans keep up constant artillery
fire under cover of which the infan-
try assaults are made In British and
French trenches.
British warships are again report
ed to be supporting the allied left
wing. Ypres is declared to have been
reduced to mass of ruins. Not a
single inhabitant remains In the
town. Public buildings have been
sent crashing down before the shells
of the attacking forces. The Cathe-
dral OF st. Martin is reported badly
damaged. There is little doubt that
the lighting about Ypres, which has
been In progress almost constantly
for nearly two weeks, may prove the
bloodiest of the war to date. Heavy
losses have been suffered among the
British and French from the German
shell fire and owing to repeated as
saults made by Germans, their losses
are much greater.
The Germans continue to attack
in mass formation, endeavoring to
icarry allied trenches by-aheeI' force
OF numbers.

Nation Rings With Cries of Stricken

BY Peter Radford


Lecturer National Farmers Union.
King Cotton has suffered more from
the European war than any other ag-
ricultural product on the American
continent. The shells of the belligel-
ents have bursted over his throne,
frightening his subjects and shatter-
ing his markets, and, panic-stricken,
the nation cries out God save the
king"
People from every walk of life have
contributed their mite toward rescue
work. Society has danced before the
king: milady has decreed that the
family wardrobe shall contain only
cotton goods the press has plead
with the public to buy a BALE;
bankers have been formulating hold
ing plans congress and legislative
bodies have deliberated over relief
measures; statesmen and writer's
have grown eloquent expounding the
inalienable rights of His Majesty"
and presenting schemes for preserv-
ing the financial integrity Of the
stricken staple. but the sword of Eu-
rope has proved mightier than the pen
of America in fixing value upon this
product of the sunny south. Prices
have been bayoneted. values riddled
and markets decimated by the battling
hosts OF the eastern hemisphere until
the American farmer has suffered a
war loss of 100000, 900, and a bale
OF cotton brave enough to enter a
European port must pay a ransom of
half its value or go to prison until the
war is over.
Hope Of the Future Lies In co-opera.

The Farmers Union, through the
columns OF the press, wants to thank
the American people for the friend
ship, sympathy and assistance given
the cotton farmers in the hour OF dis
tress and to direct attention to CO
operative methods necessary to per-
manently assist the marketing OF all
farm products.
The present emergency presents as
grave a situation as ever confronted
the American farmer and from the
viewpoint of the producer, would seem
to justify extraordinary relief meas.
ures. even to the point OF bending the
constitution and straining business
rules in order to lift a portion OF the
burden on the backs of the farmer.
