Program for Babies Institution
Stirs Complaint from La
Dor Union.

The committee that is arranging
the "cafe dansant" to be held De
cember 3, at the Palace ballroom for
the benefit Of the baby's hospital
fund. has received complaint
from James NJ. Prendergast,i business
agent of the local Musicians Union
about the employment Of out-of-towr
musicians at the affair.
Members of the committee were in
dignant when asked about the pro-
test. 1t was pointed out that the
local musicians have never assisted
in the affair In any way and the onls
time they are heard from is when il
comes to the hiring of musicians
Different members of the committees
said the committee felt il was IN the
interests of the success of the affaii
to employ whom it pleased.
Soloists and musicians have been
hired from outside Newark, the com.
mittee pointed out, because they vii
be bigger drawing cards than New
ark soloists and musicians who have
been heard time and again.
"Undoubtedly we have/better SOLO
lists right here in Newark than some
that we have hired" one member
said, "but that won't bring people &c
the affair. Many will come to hear
new voices who might otherwise
stay away"
In letter to the Evening Star,
Mr.. Prendergast says; THE public Of
Newark lends it's fullest support to
these affairs and we feel that if there
is any money to be expended that
Newark citizens should receive this
benefit Of the same" Members of the
committee said they failed to zee

WILL TEST SCALES ON
ALL JERSEY RAILROADS
National Bureau Expert Will
Check Up Weights, Begin
ming Today.

From a Stan Correspondent.
TRENTON, Dec. 1.--Arrangements
for the testing of railroad track scales
in this State have been completed by
State Superintendent of Weights and
Measures William L. Waldron. 1t
will be the first time this kind of
testing has been performed in New
Jersey. superintendent Waldron has
completed arrangements with S. w
Stratton, director of the National B4x
reau of Standards at Washington for
the work. Heretofore it has been inn
possible for any State to engage in
work of this kind because of lack of
facilities.
1t is necessary to use a specially
designed and equipped car weighing
$4,000 pounds, and in addition 100000
pounds in standard weights are car
ried, making a total weight of 1885,
900 pounds, which, the superintend-
ent thinks, is enough for a very
thorough test.
l.. r. Boyer, an expert of the ma
tionai bureau, will be in charge of
the car, and will be assisted from
time to time by local New Jersey Of
ficials in whose vicinity the car may
be working.
The car is here now, and will re-
main for about a month. Actual
testing win begin today and continue
without delay while the car remains.

of both Republicans and Democrats

BERLIN (via London), Dec L.
Teutonic and Bulgarian troops are
across the Serbian frontier today pur-
suing the fleeing Serbs southward
through the Albanian mountains.
The Serbs are making no further
organized resistance, Small bands of
desperate men descend on the pur-
suing forces at every opportunity.
The country is so broKen that oppor-
tunities for ambushes are numerous.
In this way detached parties OF the
invading troops have had many
bloody engagements.
Bulgarians are most numerous in
this pursuit Every effort is being
made to hold them in a compact
body. as a precaution against the
loss Of stragglers by the Serb gueril-
las. In the mountains. however. some
breaking Of the ranks is inevitable.
1t has cost the Bulgars heavily. The
Serbs seldom try to take prisoners,
but when they have the advantages
slaughter the invaders merciieasly.

LOCAL MOVE TO
URGE NATIONAL
PREPAREDNESS
Newark Committee Organizes,
With Franklin Murphy as
Chairman.

With a definite view to urging the
need of national preparedness before
the next Congress the Newark com
mittee on national defense. appointed
by Mayor Thomas l. Raymond, was
formally organized yesterday after
noon. It Will be a working branch
of the National Security League.
Former Governor Franklin Murphy
was selected as permanent chairman.
It is proposed to start a propaganda
throughout this section which will
arouse a general interest an the move
menf
E. Woodward Duke, assistant sec
retary of the National Security
League, attended the meeting for the
purpose of having the mayors COM
mittee merge as a branch of the
league which he represented. Tie said
Newark was the only city OF its size
in this section of the United States
that had not organized a branch.
Mr.. Murphy asked for a discussion
Of the subject. He introduced Mr..
Duke, who said that according to
official government reports there were
barely 30 600 mobile troops IN the
United States. The league. lie ex-
planned. was working for the follow
ing program: The adoption of a def
mite military policy: stronger, bet
ter balanced navy: an effective mo-
bile army; an adequate National
Guard organized under the war de-
partment. the creation Of an organ
lied reserve for each branch Of mill
tary service.
Evidently Mr.. Duke did not make
his position entirely clear as to the
purpose of the committee. Chair
man Murphy said: Here about this
table are a number of practical men
who are willing TO give their time
and influence What can we do TO
create an interest in this movement? {?
Show us how we can spread this pro-
paganda and prove to us that we can
Justify putting in our time" said Mr.
Murphy.
Mr. Duke said plan had been de-
vised in New York by the league to
send q lobby of prominent and influ-
entail men to Washington. But this
4 plan was abandoned
No Lobby.
"Yes. ] believe this administration
does not favor a lobby, interjected
Chairman Murphy. This remark
brought forth q laugh from the others.
IF defense Of a national character
Is wanted each individual should seek
il. This organization should likewise
do its part continued Mr.. Duke.
Christian W. Feigenspan then said:
Il am going to ask question. It
may seem somewhat inconsistent. Are
we agreed that national defense is
something we need?''
The query seemed quite to the point,
since up to this time those about the
table had not given vent to their
opinion on the subject. II was soon
agreed that national preparedness
was of great import at this time.
Some of those present could not get

would be required Of them II was
