In the cities and towns along the
West African coast, on the sugar and
coffee plantations, and even 300 miles
in the interior, American articles OF
various description are in evidence,
much more SO, in fact, than in Kongo
In commercial clubs and business
houses American trade magazines, as
a rule the Portuguese or Spanish
editions, are on file and are read with
interest by many of the merchants.
The conclusion was Immediately
formed, therefore, that exporters in
the United States had given consid-
cradle attention to possible markets
In Angola, a circumstance quite con-
trary to conditions in other neighbor-
ing colonies. But later careful inquiry
was made of the merchants who
handle these goods as to how they
made their purchases and what means
had been used to create this interest
in articles manufactured in the United
States.
1t was surprising to find that, as far
as the merchants knew, no American
salesman had ever visited the colony
with the exception of two agents for
oil and petroleum companies. A start
was made when the manager of one
of the large plantations purchased an
American sugar machine, as an ex-

FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 10. 1914.
DEMOCRATIC MAYORS POPULAR.
FOUNDED MARCH 1, 1889.

All the mayors of Newark who have served more
than one or two terms Democrats and business
men, Moses Bigelow served seven years, from 1857
years, from 1884 to 1898, inclusive; James M. sey
mour served eight years. from 1896 to 1903 in
elusive, and Jacob Haussling at the close of his
present term will have held Office eight years.
Democratic mayors have always had the prefer
with the Newark voter, the record shows
Republican mayors have been carried into Office
Republican State national tickets, but in the cases
of all the Democratic mayors mentioned they
usually elected in years when the State county and
the city went Republican by large majortes
The most notable instance the election in 1908.
In that election Mr.. Haussling elected by
1926 plurality beating Book, Republican, and Henry
Independent Democrat In the election Taft
carried Newark by 10 206 majority. This was the
most extraordinary tribute given to mayor in the
political history of Newark and it a phenomenon
witnessed in other city in the 90S Republican tidal
wave
Mayor Haussling is the Mayor Hausslng he
was in 1908. although he has learned much about
municipal affairs and acquired ripe experience in
the last six years. For thing, he has shamed his
detractors in former campaigns They avoid the
scurrites with which they had attacked his can
didacy. 1t doesn't pay
So to get at Mayor Haussling without giving dire
offense to thousands of appreciatve citizens, the
Nugent DOGGY is set up. How the attempt to
make it appear that practical and Independent
mayor is led by the by "a political boss" will
succeed will be revealed election night, to the dis
comfure of the covert interests that want to put
reactionary lawyer in the mayoralty office.

mind of Maria Pia that after the
birth of her two sons she seemed
haunted perpetually by the fear tina.
they might share the fate of their
uncles.
Maria Pia took every precaution to
shield her children from a similar
fate. When travelling with them she
made sure that their personal nurse
should buy every bit of food they ate,
and she saw to 1t that it was prepared
in her own apartment under her
direction on stove which she had
carried with her wherever she went.
The little princes survived all possible
dangers, however, and one of them
lived to become King Charles W.,
father of the dethroned Manuel.
Maria Pia was never happy as
queen, and after the marriage of her
son she surrendered all royal preroga-
tives to her daughter in-law and took
up her abode in Paris, where for sew
eral years before her death she was
distinguished figure. She still
seemed to possess, even in the days
of her voluntary exile and poverty,
the strange majestic bearing. Her
beauty was faded by long years of
anxiety, but her figure was still per-
feet, and her dress exquisite in it's
simplicity. And SO she spent her last
years in Paris, the city of dethroned
monarchs.

The Man Who Struck Oil First

How many Americans recall the
name of Edwin l.. Drake? He was
said to have been conductor on the
New Haven Railroad fifty-five years
ago. Then he was employed at Oil
Creek, Pa, to drill well for oil, and
on August ~, 1859, his work was done
and his well went down in history as
the first ever drilled for oil in the
United States.
But If we have forgotten Drake,
those residing near the scene of his
great triumph still remember him
with pride. On August 27 last Drake
Day was celebrated in Titusville
with great enthusiasm and warm tri-
butes to the memory of the pioneer
of On Creek were paid by oil men
throughout the United States. Three
wears ago the Drake Memorial Mu-
scum was founded at Titusville to
commemorate the name of Colonel
Drake and to collect and preserve
the history of the development of pc
troleum. Upon it's walls tablets will
be placed, inscribed with the names
of the early pioneers of oil through
out the world. The exhibits of the
museum will include models of early
derricks and machinery of the first
oil fields of Pennsylvania, and a col
| lection of lamps and appliances for
generating artificial light dating back
over 1000 years. The first building
| of the museum group is now APP
preaching completion. The project Is
being carried on by individual and
| company contributions from those in-
terested in the oil industry.
brakes successful completion OF the
| first oil well recalls the rush to Oil
| Creek 1t was wilder than the rush
| ten years prior, to California, after
| the famous gold strike. Oil city
| sprang I'D almost overnight, at the
mouth of Oil Creek. The village
changed to a busting city and the
| valley of Oil Creek was transformed.
Derricks took the place of trees,
while engines. shacks and temporary
hotels dotted the landscape. The
rise in the value of properties was
enormous. farms which sold for $40
| an acre were suddenly worth from
| 81, 900 to $4,000 an acre and one plot
| of two acres which had producing
we'll sold for half million dollars. A
sterile farm OF fifty acres which had
| been traded for yoke of exen was
bought by a speculator for $500
and when oil was found upon 1t, its
new owners refused $4,000,000 for it.
| In 1861, the first gusher was brought
in. Before that, oil had been pumped
at the rate of eighteen or twenty bar
rels a day, but the new gusher threw
out thousands of barrels every TWEEN
ty-four hours and swamped the oil
market until barrel Of oil could be
bought for as little as 10 cents. Wild
speculation in oil properties and in the
shares OF oil companies. genuine and
spurious, resulted. Fortunes were
made and lost in day. This was

a Critical Point in the Great War.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.
What will happen now that the Ger
mans are in possession of practically
all Belgium and have apparently also
stayed the Russian advance in the
East? The news from the conflict is
too fragmentary, often too contradic-
tory, to premit a definite answer. The
one thing clear Is that a critical point
in the great war has been reached
Although the ultimate issue is not
likely to be determined by any adj
vantage which either side may gain
at present, the immediate conduct of
the campaign must inevitably be
shaped by the events of the next few
days.
The first object of German strategy
failed when the German rush for
Paris failed. The second object has
been attained by the capture of Ant
werp. The g-drawn-out fighting
on the Aisne has demonstrated the
Importance to the Germans of Kidding
themselves of the enemy in the rear.
So long as the Belgians held their
capital German troops needed at the
front were kept out of action, while
the forces of the Allies, attempting
to turn the flank of General Won
Kluck's army, were free of attack
from the rear. The first effect of the
taking of Antwerp is the complete
defeat of that movement, and the
allies must now fight along a new
line.
1t is difficult to see, however, that
the Germans gain, at least for the
present, any further advantage from
the possession of Antwerp. If they
have agreed TO respect the neutrality
of the Netherlands--and their expert
epces in violating neutrality should

WAR NEWS READ IN EXPERT CRITICISM.

American military experts who are members OF
the Army and Navy Club are following up the CAM
paigns in Europe and with the light afforded by the
fragmentary and contradictory dispatches giving
daily outline descriptions of the strategy of the Ger
mans and the allies These critics do not agree
except in their geography but their articles make
clear to readers the meanings of news that hope
lessly confuse their minds.
The expert studies the dispatches with the
aid of typographical maps of the two war zones He
has before him geography of cities towns rivers
and mountains with railroad and other artificial fea
lures of the landscapes. He knows the strategca
moves on the military chessboard and distinguish
them His surmse is based on technical knowledge
He can distinguish in few words of cable report
about an engagement what its character and object
are. In brief official statement he can detect
turning movement or an attempt to pierce the en-
emy's lines
And in the progress of the war the military critic
has educated himself. He began wrong in August.
He fell into the blunder that all the world outside
of Germany made-that of believing that the
PEELED assaults the Liege forts represented the full
shock of the Germany army. The fall of Liege and
Brussels and Namur and the German army drive to
Paris made experts overhaul their military catechisms
Expert military criticisms now written with
fairly knowledge of the forces engaged and of
the great theatre of war and these criticisms help to
clarity the war news that to us from various
sources.

carrying of this feature of the county park plans
In furtherance of the parkway plan property
owners generally along the Passac offered to donate
