TUNNEL JOINED
UNDER THE BAY
BY DYNAMITE
Blast ESQ Feet Under Surface
Unites Sections of Trunk
Sewer Bore.

Both sections OF the big tunnel
which is being constructed under
Newark Bay to carry the Pagsaic
Valley trunk sewer were joined by a
dynamite blast that was set or at :
O'clock yesterday afternoon. 1t had
been expected by the engineers to
make the junction tomorrow, but the
work was found to have progressed
so rapidly they decided 10 not wait.
The blast was fired 250 feet beneath
the middle of the bay and was very
successful
r. H Keyes was in charge OF the
preparations for the final blast. He
is in charge OF the construction work
at that point for the New York and
New Jersey Contracting Company.
1t is expected the tunnel will be com
pleted several months in advance of
January !, 1917, the date set for the
sewer to be in operation and which
viii drain the valley of the Passaic
river from Paterson TO New York
Bay.
The tunnel is about 5000 feet long.
Work was started on both the New
ark and Bayonne sides at the same
time. The estimated length of each
heading is about $500 feet.
The tunnel is $50 feet below the
level of the shore line from shaft to
shaft. II is known in engineering
terms as a free air. tunnel. The
men work under normal conditions
and not under compressed air as they
are doing on several sections of the
sewer
The contractor on the .'free air.
section is John +. Shan1ey, jr.. but
the work proper is being done by the
New York and New Jersey Contract
ing Company. of which Mr.. Shanley
is the president. The tunnel work
was started on February II. 1914. and
to date 81. 100 900 worth of work has
been done. The total contract price
on this section is 81. 400,0 900
On the Newark side OF the tunnel
the contractor encountered sandstone.
On the Bayonne side, trap rock
formation was found. The geological
survey showed such conditions. A
stone crusher was set up on the Bay
onne side and a good deal of the trap
rock taken from the tunnel was eon-
veTted into crushed stone for the con-
crete which is being used.
The tunnel boring is fifteen feet in
diameter. This will be lined with
concrete one and a half feet thick
which will give a clearance of twelve
feet in the tunnel when completed.
The blast which made united the
two sections of the tunnel consisted
of $50 pounds OF dynamite 1t was
set off by James Mundie. who was in
charge of the Bayonne end of the
work. At the point where the ex-
pIosion took place the excavation was
made in solid rock.

MORE POLICE

CRYING NEED
So Says Commissioner sige-
low, Who Produces Statistics
to Show Situation.
REPUBLICANS, THOUGH,

tectives' Work Ap-
preciated.

That only about two-fifths of the
men ON the payroll of the Newark
police department are doing actual
squad patrol duty in the streets Is
shown by statistics ubmitted to the
police board by Commissioner Fred
eric Rigelow at the regular meeting
yesterday afternoon. Commissioner
Bigelow moved the appointment of
twenty-five new men to the force,
and was supported by his Democratic
colleague. John n. Donnelly, but

voted 1t down with the statement
that there are no funds available for
the appointments. This situation
further disclosed the conditions bor-
dering on friction, which have existed
among the police G aissioners for
some time.
Mr. Bigelow's statistics show the
number of men doing squad patrol
duty last week as 307, out of total
number in the department of 756. He
secured the information by writing
to the captain of each precinct for a
statement of the work in their respec-
tive precincts.
This total Of 307, of course. does
not include superior officers, detailed
men, members of the mounted or
motorcycle squads. or detectives, but
only policemen actually patroIIing
posts It does not, either. include
any mon who were off duty for sick
ness last week. Mr.. Bigelow estI-
mates that there are eighty-aeven
vacancies in the posts, which are
filled by doubling up posts. Some OF
the posts, he declares. are so large
that it is out of the question for one
man to cover each of them.
In urging the appointment Of the
new patrolmen. Mr.. Bigelow called
attention to the need for extra men
which the 250th anniversary celebra-
tion next year will entail. Additional
men will be required during the cele-

Wilson Partly to Blame
for Teutonic Activities,
Says Berlin Tageblatt

AMSTERDAM, Dec. 9.--The Berlin
Tageblatt, admitting that German
Americans who violate United States
laws should be punished, neverthe-
less took the view today that Presl-
dent Wilson and his administration
are partly responsible for any al
legged Teutonic activities.
In discussing the presidents mes

UNTIL JAN. |
Board of Works Puts Off Street
Crusade Until First of
Year.


The Board of Works today voted TO
defer until after the first meeting in
January enforcement of their order to
clear from Market street news stands
and other encroachments. The action,
which was unanimous, was taken on
motion of President Patrick II. Ryan,
who said that since the last meeting
he has looked the situation over care
fully and finds things not SO bad as
he believed them to be last week. He
said also that 1t would be hardship
for the news dealers to. be driven
away just at the commencement OF
the holiday season.
Commissioner Arthur r. Denman,
chairman of the committee on streets,
urged Jacob. l.. Newman. attorney for
the newsdealers, to test the legality
of the order to clear the street of en-
croachments between now and the
first meeting in January.
A delegation of the newsdealers,
headed by Samuel Kastner and with
Attorney Jacob l.. Newman, as coun-
sci, appeared before the Board OF
Works today with q resolution re-
scinding the order to remove news
stands on Market street, passed at
the last meeting.
A petition signed by 500 persons,
sixty of them business and profess
sional men on Market street. asking
that the newsstands be left where
they are, was presented Representa-
tives of several of the largest stores
on the street were among the signers.
The resolution read:
Petition from Citizens.
I'VE. the undersigned. being citi-
zens of tho city of Newark, having
the welfare OF the city at heart, and
being engaged in business or a pro-
fession in the city, do hereby most
vehemently protest against the re-
moval of any news stands on Market
street from the positions they now
occupy.
1--WE hereby declare ourselves, un-
equivocally and unreservedly in 7avor
of allowing these news stands to re-
main where they are.
I'VE believe, and state here most
emphatically, that they are a. con-
venience to the public at large, and
should be considered in deciding
whether or not they should be re-
moved we know that they bring busi-
ness to the -Four Corners

that great injustice would be done,
business interests hurt, livelihoods
destroyed, and no substantial. good
done If these stands are removed: ana
do. therefore, urge In all earnestness
that they remain undisturbed

ATHENS, Dec. 9.-Anglo- French
forces have begun TO retire from
Southern Serbia toward the Greek
frontier, according to official di-
spatches today. It is believed here
the withdrawal is part of a general
plan determined upon Immediately
after the Serbian retreat.
How far the expeditionary forces
intend to withdraw was not indicated.
But dispatches from, Greek frontier
points during the night reported the
Anglo French front under heavy at
tack by large German and Bulgarian
forcas.
The Bulgars are smashing hard at
General Sarrails right and center.
German troops have been brought up
against the allied left and center.
BY combined pressure the Bulgar-
German armies are striving to
squeeze Sarrail's forces out of Serbia
and across the Greek frontier.
1t is believed here the expeditionary
forces are outnumbered nearly two
TO one.
News Excites Athens.
News of the allied retreat has
caused the. greatest excitement here.
The tension in officinl circles has sud-
denly increased. With the battle
drawing closer TO the Greek frontier
it Is realized here that King Com
stantine may be forced to decide be-
tween the entente and the central
empires within few days.
Anglo French reinforcements ar
rived at Saloniki early this week
Whether they proceeded at once to
the Serbian front has not been stated
in Saloniki dispatches.
II was reported today that Greek
military authorities who visited Sa-
loniki to confer with the Anglo
French officials have been ordered to
proceed at once to the frontier. 1t is
assumed that they have been given
full power to deal with any situa-
tion that may arise out of a possible
Angelo French retreat into Greece.

and Djakova, over the border in

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, via London, Dec. 3, 4;51
a. m.--The outstanding feature of the
situation on the Serbian front as
shown by information received here
is that the Albanian tribesmen, par
tieularly the redoubtable Arnauts.
have risen against the fragments of
the Serbian forces which have sue
,ceeded in getting across the frontier
into the Albanian mountains.
Military writer's here express the
belief that the Serbidns have little
mercy to expect from the Albanians
who still maintain in the blood feud
declared after the Serbian "assimila-
tion',of the tribesmen in the parts OF
Albania occupied by them during and
after the Balkan war with Turkey.

As long as in the countries
Of our enemies the guilt and
ignorance of statesmen are en-
tangled with confusion of pub

Fully conscious of our un-

decline the responsibility for
the continuation of the misery
which now fills Europe and the
whole world. Nobody can say
that we are continuing the war
because we want TO conquer
