his shoulders. but he didn't make his

REPORTS SUCCESS
Of j. 5. HOSPITALS
Red Cross Attnche Tells Berlin
of Work Americans Have
Accomplished.

BERLIN, via Rome. Oct. 24.--Gnunt
Goldschmidt- Rothschild, who is at
tached to the American Red Cross
units which have undertaken hospi sal
work in Germany, has just come to
Berlin to procure certain me9Ical
necessities for the American hospi-
tails. He reports that the American
doctors and nurses are at Gleiwitz,
In Silesia. where two American hos
pitfalls have been established, one in a
converted theatre and the other in a
business building.
The original idea of scattering these
American workers among German
hospitals was abandoned, and, in the
opinion of the count. this was a wise
measure. The hospitals are now re-
ceiving wounded direct from the bat
tie front, a number of men being
brought in from the fighting at Ivan
gorod. Their location at Gleiwitz, in
the extreme southeastern corner of
Silesia. brings them as near as pos
sibe to the front.
Most of the men being taken to
these American hospitals are severe
~ wounded. The mission has sup
plemented ITS equipment also in Bres-
lau. and has been supplied with warm
clothing for the coming winter. The
nurses are quartered comfortably in
the hospitals themselves, while the
doctors reside outside. The Ameri-
cans have been given a warm well
come.

FARE FIGHT
IS CONTINUED
Former AssembIyman and Pub
lie Service Auditor in Argu-
ment on Caldwell Case.

Further testimony on the applica-
ton of former Assemblyman G. A.
Nutting, Of Caldwell, for a reduction
to five cents of the trolley fare be-
tween Caldwell and Newark was
heard by the public utility commits
sioners yesterday afternoon. Mr..
Nutting contended that the. munich
palities of Verona and Caldwell are
being Disseminated against by the
Public Service Railway Company be-
cause 1t charged a ten-cent fare to
Newark.
He alleged that the company for a
flve-cent fare carries passengers to
municipalities further away from
Newark than Caldwell. He also de-
clared that the development of the
town is hampered on this account, as
people who would move to Caldwell,
if it were in the five-cent zone, now
settle in other places.
Mr. Nutting called several witnesses
from other municipalities to tell what
they thought about a fare reduction.
Most of the witnesses went over the
same ground covered by Mr.. Nutting.
The sense of their testimony was a
charge of discrimination against Cald-
we'll and eVrona and that the devel-
ment of the towns was hampered
The witnesses were: William Lit
tie, mayor of North Caldwell; Henry
V. Condit. of Essex Fells, and Leon
A. Carley, chairman of the transpor-
tation committee of the Caldwell
Trade Board.
l.. ID. Howard Gi'mour appeared in
behalf of the Public Service Railway
Company. He placed M. r.. Boylan,
general auditor of the company, on
the stand. He explained the various
fare rates and transfer zone. Several
times Mr.. Boylan and Mr.. Nutting be-
came involved in arguments. On one
occasion Mr.. Nutting offered to bet
the witness five dollars he was wrong.
On another, he offered to let the case
rest on a disputed point, If Mr.. Boy
Ian was willing.
The witness was willing on both oc-
casions, but President Ralph w. e.
Donges, OF the commission, raped for
order and the bets were off," The
hearing was adjourned for two weeks.

Belgians Deny They Had

PARIS, Oct. PA dispatch to the
Havas Agency from Bordeaux says:

note replying to recent allegations in
the North German Gazette, the Off

covery by the German forces In Brus-
sells of documents indicating a pre-
arrangement between the Belgian and
British armies hostile to Germany.
The note says that If the German
newspaper Will publish in full the
documents found In the search of the

Following the address of the mayor,

with the feat.
Unofficial accounts say that the $50,
masked by heavy seas, dashed out of
the bay and launched her deadly tor
pedo. She then ran the blockade and
was pursued by the enemy's destroy
ers. For, seeing what her fate would
be, her commander drove her on the

JOEL PARKERS
PLAN FOR GREAT
NIGHT MONDAY
Democratic Candidates Will
Have Chance to Meet the
Voters Face to Face.

Monday night will be "Joel Parker
night for the Democrats of Newark
and Essex county, and it will be OBJ
served in the usual Joel Parker AS
! ISOLATION style, judging from the re-
ports of the committee in charge OF
the details.
The OCCASION is annual in form, and
! is devoted to reception to the regu-
/ larry nominated candidates of the
Democratic party
Kruegers Auditorium will be the
/ scene of a banquet to the candidates
and of speechmaklng by the candi-
| dates.
! Unlike previous affairs of this kind
conducted under the auspices of the
Joel Parker Association, the pioneer
Democratic organization of New Jer-
sey, when orators of note in STATE
| and nation usually engaged the
greater portion of the time in adj
dresses, Monday nights event will be
of the homeland home order.
That is to say, candidates for city
and county offices and other local
speakers will be given the preference
and the voters will, therefore, hear
from them direct.
This plan of action, suggested by
the committee of arrangements and
the committee on speakers has been
heartily approved by the officers and
members of the Joel Parker Associa
ton. 1t Is an innovation that struck
the right spot. There will be greater
opportunities for heart-to-heart talks
between candidates and citizens than
afforded under previous customs, a
better chance for getting together.
and in every sense an opening for
spending an enjoyable evening, with
relief from the usual campaign
rigidity.
City Counsel James r. Nugent,
president of the Joels, will be toast
master. and among the guests will be
such old-time Joel Parker members
as former United States Senator
James Smith, jr., Peter Hauck, ST..
Joseph NJ. Byrne and other familiar
faces that are seldom absent from a
Joel Parker event.
Running the gamut of the speakers
are found the names of Mayor Hauss-
iibg. DIR. Charles f. Kraemer and

Richard Stockton, Congress Candi-
dates Edward w. Townsend Arthur

Harry f. Backus, County Supervisor
Candidate Edward Shickhaus, the
twelve Democratic candidates for the
Assembly, and Angelo r. Bianchi,
Lewis Lewis and Michael N. Higgins
candidates for freeholder
There will be short talks and in-
formal discussions after the set
speech program has been disposed Of.

into the cellar. and extinguished the
flames. AS 1t was the little fellow

who is attending him says he will
recover.
Irving Block was alone in his home,
while his mother was shopping. The
little fellow got in TO the cellar and
found a match. He lit 1t and then
threw it into a bundle of excelsior,
which ignited so quickly that 1t set
fire to his clothes.

the boys clothing afire and after
burning her own hands managed to
put out the flames.
