was held to turn the first spadeful of
earth to dig out the basement of our
new High School.
This was an honor for the man who
was pointed out to turn the first
spadeful of earth. And this man was
our old friend Patrick Larkin, the
Oldest resident of our borough.
On account of the big crowd
gathered there not all of you could
see Mr.. Larkin. Perhaps only those
children who were standing in the
two or three front rows.
Now you know it. Mr.. Patrick
Larkin started the great work of our
new High School by turning the first
spadeful of earth.
And we all gathered there in order
to pray to God that He may protect
the good men who will build up the
great building, and that He may save
the building, when completed, from
destruction either by lightning, or
earthquake, or fire, and, finally, to
pray to God that He may protect all
you dear little children, and your
teachers, who are to go to that school
which your father and mother wanted
to be built for you only, so that you
can learn so many beautiful things.
Things that will fill you with joy and
happiness. Things that you will never
forget in all your life!
Yours very truly,
A. TIL SchWab.

Hateful conscription seems to have
become an inevitable necessity. The
lower classes are far from enthusi-
astlc; thousands are reconciled to the
betterment of their hard lot through
the wartime increases in wages
workmen are either scarce or unwill-
ing to preform their part. The gov
eminent is trying to hold itself up
by its bootstraps.
Where the great British fleet is or
what it is doing except to bury it's
self IN barnacles nobody knows. 1t
is now generally conceded that ade-
quate preparations for the futile at
tack upon the forts of the Dardan-
Giles had not been made and the ships
lost were sacrificed to no PIT rpose
The deadly German wasps circum-
navigate the British isles without let
or hinderance. Already ninety-ona
merchantmen and trawlers have been
sent to the bottom, and, despite off
clal warnings from the German gov
eminent, there could not be or at any
rate there was not spared from the
great number of war ships a single
convoy for the doomed Lusitania. Is
it not to be wondered at that the
Westliche Post should declare that
never before has the futility of the
British navy been exposd so pitifully,'
and that DR.. Eugene Kuhnemann, one
of our Exchange German Profess
ors," should add, exulting, that "the
torpedoing of the Lusitania proves
two things: First, that Germany is
determined and has the power to crush
any nation that tries to starve her
out; second, that the prestige of the
English navy is gone forever?
1t is still, as we said ten months
ago, ''inconceivable that Germany
shall triumph" but it is no less Ger
tain, from the standpoint of the allies,
that the prospect is laden with gloom
and foreboding and that the end is
afar off.

American REVIEW
Millions of lives have been sacri-
feed and billions of money have been
squandered, but no invading foe has
placed foot upon German soil, and no
reversal at arms has served to
temper the German spirit. The an
ticipated disaffection of socialists and
peace seekers has failed to material
ize. The mighty military machine
seems only to have hardened into
yet greater efficiency. Prussia still
dominates the empire, and the GER
tainty of quick triumph, which at first
possessed the minds of her people has
been supplanted by a determination
never to be beaten which is even more
formidable There is no lack of money
or munitions of war; new submar-
ines are being built in greater num-
bers and more rapidly than by the
allies; despite pretenses to the contrary
for political effect, food is plentiful
and exceptional harvests seem assured
briefly, the possibility of conquering
Germany is more remote today than
it was at the beginning of the war;
to feign the contrary is to ignore the
facts.
The bitter truth is that in all large
essentials the hopes of the allies have
been dissirated one after another.
France was to occupy her lost prov
inces forthwith; she is still fighting
defensively upon her own soil. I'm
prepared Britain was to raise and
train an immense army for service
in Flanders. Time was Fighting for
the allies" The real war was to be-
gin in May. In point of fact, it be-
gan earlier at Neuve Chapelle, where
apparent victory was made appall-
ingly disastrous by incompetent
British generalship, and June finds
Germany a steady gamer in the past
few weeks.
At last-and in this there may be
a CLEAN of hope-England is begin
ing to realize that she cannot reason
ably expect to "muddle through"

Dear Sir:
The fact that the various speeches
which were made at the celebration
of the breaking of the ground for
our new High School were chiefly of
tenor comprehensive only to grown
ups, and, after having convinced my
self during the past week, that several
children did not know what really
happened on that Sunday afternoon,
cause me to speak few words
through this newspaper, regarding
the said celebration, to all school
children of both Grantwood and Cliff
side schools.
And | herewith request the parents
to kindly read the following address
to their children if they cannot do so
themselves:
My dear little children, you all still

orderly manner from the school to

you know why we had gathered
there? | am going to tell you now.

West Hobokenite
Is Searched On
Street By A Cop
Weehawken Patrolmen Suspects
Him of Being Sneak Thief
Complaint May Result.

James Morrison, of 314 Dodd street.
West Hoboken, was mistaken for a
sneak thief in Highwood Park, Wee
hawken, on Saturday, and is very in
dlgnant about it. He alleges that pa
trolman No. 25, of the Weehawken
police, searched him without having
placed him under arrest and without
any justification. 1t is likely that he
will have a complaint before the next
meeting of the Township Committee.
Morrison is boss painter and had
done some work for Mr. Randall, of
Bellevue place, Highwood Park. He
went to see Randall at 7 O'Clock on
Saturday evening. Just before he en-
tered the house he noticed the COP
cycling him up. When he had trans
acted his business with Mr.. Randall
and left the house, the cop accosted
him.
'What were you doing in there 2"
the cop asked.
Looking for money!" was Morri-
sons response, thinking the officer
was testing.
"None of your fooling now," the
cop said. 81 want to know what YOU
were doing"
Il told you | was looking for
money" declared Morrison. "That is
just what | was doing. Otherwise |
do not believe my actions are any of
your business. This is America and
a citizen has a perfect right to go
about the streets unmolested so long
as he does not trespass upon the
rights of Others"
The cop was evidently not strong
for the constitutional rights stuff, for
he announced that he was considering
whether he should take Morrison to
the station house. Then he decided
to search the man. Upon discovering
the officers intention, Morrison pro-
tested, but his protests were in vain.
"He went through my pockets"
said Morrison. 81 was going to insist
that he take me to the station house.
but then l thought over the idea of
being led through he streets by Il
PoiiNC anu VI II1C IL OuDlc VI ScG-
ting out of Jail, even though l was
only arrested on suspicion. | did not
have time to go to the station house
or | would have done so.
81 think it is an outrage that a citi-
zen cannot go through the streets
without being subjected to such in
dignity. | do not believe that the Of
ficer had any right to search me, as
| was not under arrest, and nothing
had been proved against me. There
had been nothing in my conduct to
warrant such action on the part of
the officer.
81 had simply gone into the home of
a man for whom | had done business,
and after completing my business
with him, left his home. | asked the
officer why he had not followed me
into the house to see what | was
doing. He told me that he suspected
me of being a sneak thief, and had
not followed me because he feared
that l might slip out the back way on
him and escape.
at is my wish that this matter may
reach the ears of the proper author
tiles and prevent other respectable
citizens from suffering under the same
treatment ,ObSerVer,
