For two or three minutes we stood

with nonchalant wag of his funny

through the woods, as unhurriedly and
indifferently as If l, too, had been a
woodland creature. Perhaps 1 looked

AIDES and had to run. They sent vol
leys after me, but safely reached our
trench again and jumped into one of
the craters."
Then the noncommissioned officer
continued:
"The Frenchmen believed them
selves sure of their success, but our
lieutenant was ready for them. He
sent eight men ahead into the craters
and the fire of this little detachment
moved the enemy down when he
came on in close formation In the
meantime our machine guns had been
brought into action and the French
were driven back in front and at our
flank.
But the section of the trench for
which we fought had become useless
to us. We gave 1t up and slowly re-
treated. keeping the enemy at a re-
spectful distance by a heavy rife fire.
For a short while the enemy took
possession of our destroyed ditch, but
he could not hold it. When we re-
took it by counter-attack we found
it filed with the bodies Of dead
French soldiers. We quickly dug our
selves in again, but tomorrow the re-
paired trench may be in the hands of
the enemy once more. Then we will
have to retake 1t again. and so it
goes on"

County Seat Stirred Up Today
With Voting For and Against
Commission Government at
Special Election.
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

Specidl to the EVENING NEWS.
New. Brunswick, March 2:-This
Etaid college town is all afire today
with the arguments for and against
commission government. After six
years of waiting the citizens back of
the "ne- idea" movement believe the
time has come for the realization of
their dreams, as the voters of New
Brunswick are today deciding the
fate of commission government, 30
far as local conditions are concerned,
at special election called tor that
purpose. 1t is the general belief on
the street corners that truth will
prevail" as the league workers main
tain, and that the new form of gov
ernment will be adopted. On the
other hand the anti-workers, COM
posed principally of politicians, equal
ly maintain that the election will be
close, with chance for them to save
the day. The league workers have
used 1853" (Which is the tax rate
in this city for 1919 as the battle
cry on this occasion; the politicians
haven't bothered with any college
yeil'-they are out doing the work
that counts.

READY To START
WORK On BRIDGE
At CONVERY PL.
Aldermen Adopt Resolution to
Procure Bids for Retaining
Walls and for 5000 Yards
of Earth for Span.

The last obstruction to the erection
of bridge over the Lehigh Valley
railroad tracks in the western part
OF the city for the extension of Con-
very place, was probably removed at
the meeting of the Board of Alder
men last night. when resolutions
were adopted to procure bids for re-
tanning walls and for 5000 cubic
yards of earth for filling purposes,
and a motion was passed to notify
the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company
of this action. Alderman William c.
Wilson raised a question as to the
necessity of having the city erect
wing walls at both ends of the pro-
posed bridge. having been made to
understand at conference with the
freeholders that no such walls would
have to be built by the city. Other
aldermen contended otherwise.
1t was tken stated that the Lehigh
Valley Railroad Company was hold
ing up the construction work at
present because it would not bulge
and give the city the right of way
until provision had been made for the
necessary retaining walls to keep the
approaches in place. Accordingly the
city clerk was instructed to notify
the railroad company of the action
taken.
To Receive Bids March Is.
The street commissioner was auth
orized to receive bids on March 10
for the proposed walls and to adver-
tise for bids for the delivery of about
5000 cubic yards of earth to be used
for filling purposes.

CITY To OPPOSE
SAME MEASURES
AS WOODBRIDGE

Steps to oppose passage of senate
bills No. 1879, 232 and 233, recently
introduced In the state legislature
for the alleged purpose of aiding the
Public Service Railway Company In
extending its enterprises in the state,
were taken at the meeting of the
Board Of Aldermen last night. The
subject was broached by Alderman
John w. Kelly and upon his motion
the committee on Judiciary was in
structed to act in conjunction with
City Attorney Andrew Wight for the
best interests Of the city. IN response
to question from Alderman John ].
Clark, 1t was stated that 1t was the
intention of the council to fight
passage of the measures as being
favorable to traction interests and
unfavorable to all municipalities not
of the first class.
The Township Committee of Wood
bridge met In special session last
Thursday night to take somewhat
similar action. The committee de-
cided to enlist the services of Senator
William E. Ramsay and of the as
semblymen In an endeavor to have
the measures defeated. 1t had come
to the attention of the committee
men that the bills were designed to
favor the Public Service Railway
Company and had a direct bearing on
the ruling of Vice Chancellor Howell
In the Sewaren traction case, In
which he ruled that the Public Ser
vice interests would have to sever a
connection between a railroad and a
street trolley car line.
1t was stated at the Woodbridge
township committee meeting that
Perth Amboy as well as other COM
munities about the state would be in
terested In the bills In view of the
fact that they would be affected by
them. 1t has been contended among
Woodbridge officials that Perth Am
boy was about as vitally interested
In the fight against the Public Service
interests as Woodbridge was, in view
of the fact that 1t would be Just as
advantageous to secure a fve-eent
fare on the fast line between Perth
Amboy and Port Reading as 1t would
be to have one between Woodbridge
proper and Port Reading.
Asked to give his reasons for
urging such action as was taken by
the council last night, Mr.. Kelly
stated that the bills were framed to
aid the Public Service at the expense
OF communities up to the first class.
He believed that the provisions of
the bills were far reaching, perhaps
to such an extent as to affect the
water department in this city and
similar municipalities. He believed
that committee OF Woodbridge Off
cials would confer with some of the
legislators, including Senator Ram
say, today.

Rev. DR.. William e. Palmer, pas
tor of Simpson Methodist Episcopal
church, will not return here again
for another year was the announce
ment made at conference of the
pastor and members of the official
board at the church Sunday. DR..
Palmer made 1t known that he would
be in New York after the annual
Newark conference that Is to be held
the week commencing Wednesday,
March "a. This was taken to mean
that he would go to the New York
conference, but In conversation with
him this morning he said that he
would still remain with the Newark
conference and that he was not
ready to make known his plans.
AT a recent quarterly conference
of Simpson church, it is understood
that Dr. Palmer did not receive a
call to return to the local church
here again for another year. DR..
Palmer came here In April, 1911,
from the Trinity Methodist church,
West New Brighton, Staten Island.
He succeeded Rev DR.. George c..
Wilding. DR.. Palmer was mentioned
last year at the conference for the
appointment of district superintend-
ent of the Elizabeth district, which
place was given to Rev. DR.. Frederic
Hubach, of Plainfeld, and who has
presided at the various conferences
held here during the past year.

Special oy United Press Wire.

Layland, w. Va, March a.
Scores of miners are believed to have
been entombed In an explosion at
Mine No. 8, New River and Poca-
hontas Consolidated Coal Company
here today. Estimates on the num-
ber OF entombed men run from 55 to
$50. A terrific blast occurred after
the men went to work about 1925
this morning. Rescuers who were
hurried to the mines found It impos
sible to penetrate owing to debris.
Old miners about the plant de-
clare 1t one of the most terrific In
their experience. The mine en-
trance Is badly blocked.
1t may be hours before any rescue
parties are able to penetrate for the
bodies or living men. The cause of
the explosion is a mystery. Company
officials report less than 100 men
were normally employed, but outside
reports are that there were 176 in
the plant when the blast occurred. A
night and day. ahift had been work
ing and the day shift goes into the
mine usually at I. The, men OF the
day shift had tast about time enough
to set into their WORKING places when

White failed to materialize, and II
was his vote that enabled the Repub-
