PEACE TALK BEGINNING.

If the report that Austria Hungary
has made the first overtures for peace
through her most prominent bankers,
it proves what many have for a long
time contended, viz, that the bankers
of the world are the real makers of
war. But through whatever channel
the suit for peace may come, it will
be welcome issue in the great con-
flict that has startled the world these
past five months. Somebody has to
make the move, and why not Austria :?
That country seems to have been mis-
led by it's own hot-headed statesmen
into being the cause of the present
hostilities, and it has certainly been
great loser of power, riches and
prestige through the act. Whatever
may be said about the war not being
necessary in the first place, all this
may be relocated to the shades, since
it actually began, and it cannot now be
undone. The big thing that can be
done, however, is to stop it by some
means or other. Somebody has got to
sacrifice pride, and Austria seeming
to be less in the center of public con-

In a British arsenal there has been

up to 100 tons with possible error Of
less than seven pounds.
Explorations within recent years

AIR RIFLES ILLEGAL.

1t may not be known to many but
it is now illegal to own an air rifle
of any kind in the State of New
Jersey. Parents who have innocently
given their children this dangerous
oy-weapon during the holidays will
do we'll to get rid of them Immediately,
as it is not only clearly but positively
against the law to own or sell air guns
of any character. Boys dearly love a
rifle of any kind, but now that the law
prohibits their use in New Jersey they
will have to forego this pleasure. A
fine of 500 or so would not set we'll
on any boy or parent, and New Jersey
law is, as the old darkey said, "powful
strick."

other expenses deducted from the
contributions. All that you give goes
to those whom you wish to befriend.
All expenses are borne by the COM
mittee. In this respect this charity
is unique.
No matter how small your contri-
button may be, it will be gratefully
received. Six cents will provide a
meal. In Paris alone the "Secours
National" furnishes 100000 meals a
day to those who would otherwise
starve. Their agents visit the war;
devastated zones, see the Mayors,
verify the needs, buy the merchandise
in the cheapest markets and forward
it for distribution.
The need is most urgent for blan-
kets, clothing of all kinds, new if
possible, although used clothing is
welcomed There are thousands of
Belgian refugees in France who also
receive the benefits of this society.
For those who wish to give for the
comfort of the soldiers all honor is
due, but this fund is only for the
helpless women and children who,
after all is said and done, bear the
brunt of the burden.
1t seems needless to recall the
ancient friendship of France and the
United States. 1t is a story familiar
to every school child.
The misery of want, the agony of
starvation, the terrors of the cold are
the most potent appeals. If you have
given to other funds, give again, even
if the amount be SMALL The amount
raised by the American Committee is
now nearly $4,000. In this the sea-
son of giving it should be made
500 600.
Contributions can be sent direct to
Mrs. Whitney Warren, No. 16 East
Forty-seventh street, New York City,
or to this paper which will acknowl-
edge such contributions and forward
them to the committee.

AN APPEAL FROM THE
WOMEN AND CHILD

All friends of France and all, who
in the midst of Christmas giving,

money or clothing to Mrs. Whitney
Warren, No. 16 East Forty-seventh
street, New York City. Everything
that is received will be distributed by
the "Secours National" which is di-
rected by Gabriel Hanotaux, Cardinal
Annette, Alexandra Ribot and others
under the distinguished patronage of
the President of the French Republic.

THOSE BONDS AGAIN.

The recent sale of Bergen county
bonds has engaged the attention OF
about every taxpayer in the county.
The effort to estop the sale of the last
batch of bonds, $125,OOO, proved abor-
tive, owing to the fact when the in
junction was attempted, it was discov-
cred that the bonds had been deliv-
cred. 1t was then too late for any
proceedings to be effective, and thus
the squeal ended. 1t appears to be a
monstrous situation that deal Of
this character may be put over on
the taxpayers with the utmost impun-
ity and indifference to public sentl-
ment. Do the Freeholders suppose for
moment that there is publication in
proceedings of this character? What
are they thinking about that they
can thus add to the burdens OF the
county instead of trying to Tighten
them with intelligent labor in its be-
half? There is now no sort of doubt
but that the sale of all of the $886,OO0
of bonds at this time cut the taxpay-
ers out of at least $4,000 in cold
hard cash. They could have been sold
for $1.O5 or better, even. The talk
of fearing a below par bid was a
monstrous freak of imagination, a
mere excuse for hurrying through a
job in the quickest possible time. 1t
went through all right in jig time.

The Local Poet.
Musings on Wintertime.


For THE PALIsADIAN:
When the ice is on the duck pond, and
the frost is in the air,
Give me a pair of good old skates, and
girl with golden hair,
And I'll go around adoin' stunts chirp
as any boy you'll see,
For there's somethin' in the weather
which has got a hold on me.
When the snow is on the hilltops with
the kiddies slidin' down,
That's the place l want to be, boys,
with the youngest of the town,
Just frolickin' and yellin', mixin' up
with all, by hen,
Actin as l used to do when l wasn't
more'n ten.
When the winter weather's settled on
the country far and near,
That's the time to get the sleigh out
and tighten up it's gear,
And go around the corner with your
horse prancin' high,
And draw up at the doorstep Of GER
tain Nellie Prize.
When the snow begins to leave us and
the brooks are on the swell,
That's the time when l am saddest
with the green down in the
dell
For there's somethin' bout the winter
with it's quiet and peaceful
scene,
Which has been with me since child
hood, for l love it's pure white
sheen.

STARTING THE NEW YEAR.

The beginning of new year always
opens the door of opportunity for us
to start in on new resolutions for our
general betterment. What have we
done in the past year to improve our
selves, to make ourselves more useful!
Have we so planned that business con-
ditions may be built up and improved?
This is at this moment the most i'm
portant question facing the whole
country.
We have just passed through low
barometric area of intense depression
"a kind of financial storm center
that brought us to state of absolute
dependency. At no time in all OF
the history of America have we faced
such an ordeal as confronts us today.
1t is a time when we shall have to
prove our real worth or take the con-
sequences. 1t is to the Individual that
we must look for aid in applying the
safety brakes. If we have formed
extravagant habits, we must now
know how to "cut it out" to use a
phrase of slang. 1t is the right idea
to form new resolutions, but none can
have so salubrious an effect upon gen.
eral conditions if the whole people
will adopt the motto, "Cut it out"
Keep out of debt.
Open a bank account.
All of our banks are today in the
best financial condition. They are
backed by "Uncle SAM" and his en-
dorsement is a letter of credit good to
the nethermost ends of earth.
SO don't worry about the banks.
Don't begin the year with crouch
over anything. Times could be worse,
but we can each make them better.
Don't take all the ginger" out Of
life by the wrong view.
There is only one way to look up,
and that is to raise your chin.
All hope comes from the spirit OF
faith. In America we have tons OF
grit and oceans of faith-a combina-
ton that always wins.
Two thirds of the world is at war,
with America at peace. We should
worry! In fact, we should jubilate-
not at the miserable state in other
lands, but at the good sense of our
own leaders who have kept us out Of
the muddle.
There are European countries to-
day fairly itching to involve America.
But America is not going to be in
volved. She is going to stay at home
and mind her own business.
So, let every man this promising
new year mind his own business. Let
him help his country in the only tan
gible way by pushing to Tighten the
load We should all pull together and
make 1915 the best in the nations
history.
