EVERYONE IN LONDON SEEMS
TO BE WRITING A NEW WAR SONG

LONDON, Oct. 23.-The common
greeting in London is, How are you
getting along with your war song?'
Everyone is writing a war song, hop
ing to give Britain another Marsel-
laise. But so far none of the recruit
ing songs which the music halls are
trying to popularize have taken with
the recruits, whose favorite remains
the entirely unmartial TITS a Long,
Long Way to Tipperary." The favor
tie whistling tune on the march is by
all odds the Marsellaise. although the
soldiers chorus from Faust" and any
spirited air has only to be started to
be taken up by the entire line. This
is why most OF the war song com
posers choose the old tunes rather
than those made to order,
One amateur poet sent a set of
verses to the Times with the chorus:
Here's to Lord Kitchener, brown as
the sun,
Gentle, persuasive and balmy,
Giving his orders and getting them
done,
All that he wants for the army.
In this case the writer's attempt to
rhyme balmy with army caused great

KRAEMER MAKES
TO RAYMOND
Works Board President Points
to Financial Conditions and
How They Are Met.

DR.. Charles F. Kraemer last night
gave a lengthy review of the work
performed by the Democratic admin
istration and sharply criticised some
of the statements made by Thomas l..
Raymond, Republican candidate for
mayor. This address was delivered at
st. Peters Hall, in Belmont avenue,
before the st. Peters Orphan Aid So
ciety, which is composed of many in
fluential men on the Hill About
two hundred were present. May or
Haussling and other Democratic can
dldates were guests of honor.
Dr. Kraemer told of the high credit
of which Newark boasts. TINS, he
said, was a tribute in itself to the
mayor and his party. We sold bonds
when no other city could dispose OF
their bonds, we sold our bonds at a
rate of interest which showed we are
IAN economical constructive party"
continued DR.. Kraemer.
Now Mr.. Raymond tells you that
we are extrayagant and that he Will
reduce the taxes. Raymond cannot
and will not, for the European war
has caused tightening of money
which makes 1t impossible to fioat
bonds.
we. have the best financiers in the
country and the brainiest of al city
counsels. They know thlr business,
and when opportunity shows itself
you will find that Newark Knows
How The Newark News will not tell
you the reason we had to raise our
tax rate-they are afraid to tell you
voters the truth. No business house
can raise its employees salaries when
It is commencing. We must have
money with which to carry on our
improvements and when they are
completed then you can rest assured
that the tax rate will be greatly re-
duced"
Mayor Haussling also made a short
address, as did John f. Reilly, Board
of Works candidate; John ]. Bracken,
Democratic candidate for sheriff, and
many other Democratic nominees.
