Middletown transcript., 1915-10-09

In my home town there are no such
striking contrasts as those between the
mansions on the side streets and the
tumbledowns on the Main street. The
buildings in Freehold are of medium
cost and comparatively inexpensive
architecture, but are all neat and trim
from one end of Main street to the
other
There is matter which / have always
wished to have explained. Why did the
old settlers, with all the land they had
to spread over, persist in setting their
houses right up against one another
and right on the sidewalk. Travels
through towns in Central and South
Jersey, such as Allentown, Bordentown,
Burlington, Mt. Holy.and many others,
disclose this condition on all the older
streets. And doubtless there are other
towns in Delaware besides Middletown
in which the same conditions prevail.
That it never occurred to'the old fellows
to set the houses back little to allow
for a yard, porch, etc., seems very
strange indeed. My town, and towns
to the north seem to have been settled
by different people, because they set
their. houses back from the street
When | lived in MiddIetown there
were no industries. There had been a
tomato cannery, but it had failed to
pay. During my stay there two men
came from somewhere in Pennsylvania
and started creamery. am minformed
that there is now very prosperous
creamery at Middletown, but different
concern from the one | refer to. There
is also tomato cannery, and a corn
cannery. Such enterprises give en-
ployment to local help and make good
market for the products of the farms.
But Middletown, like my present home
town. is too far from cheap power and
water transportation to ever hope to
grow into large manufacturing place.
1t is the center Of a rich agricultural
section, and as such has attractive and
distinctive features as a place of resi-
dence which factories would largely
spoil.
The first time l laid eyes on the
country about Middletown l was capti-
waited by it. 1t is a beautiful country
of fertile fields and green hedges II
looked just as beautiful at my last visit.
| have sometimes wondered whether
the young printers who were looking
for a business twenty-seven years age
than at business conditions in Middle
town. But there are no regrets. Like
old Ben Franklin, we paid for our
whistle-it was all paid for long ago,
Middletown was the second place In
which we set up our press. 1t was the
place to which the writer brought his
bride, and where their daughter was
born. She is now in Kansas City, Ill.
with home of her own; such are the
changes which time works in families,
and such the distances which love takes
children from the home nest. There
are many pleasant reeollections of those
days which will always linger. / hope
these few trifling notes have been read
with tolerant spirit. have only the
kindest recollections of the people Of
Middletown, even if some of them die
call us "Sand Spaniards, and l shall
probably come back to look over the
town and the fine country around il

Directors of the International Smoke

decided to call a special meeting of the
stockholders of the company on March
0 for the purpose of taking action on
liquidating the company.
The concern has a small plant com
pared with the duPlant plants at Par
lin, n. j., and was intended to manu-
facture military powders. 1t has manu-
factured some military powders and
chemical mixtures. The stock has been
controlled by the DUPONT people fol
some time. There are outstanding $50,
900 shares of stock at par value OF
$50 share, making total Of $1,000,
600.
An informal offer for the stock has
been made, and the chances are it vii
be taken in the vicinity of 80. The com
pany has never done an export business
Of any size.
Questioned as to the reasons for tn
proposed sale of the stock. John j. Ras
/ kob. treasurer of the DUPONT Company
who is familiar with the matter, said
"The only reason for the action is tina
the directors have made propositio
which they think is good one an
they took steps to refer it to the stock

by the Germans during the past six
months
England's command OF the seas has
been fully efficient as Germany's land
operations. There have been isolated in
stances of German naval successes, butt
they have all been without any military
Importance. England has driven the
German merchant marine from the seas
and has caused great distress TO German
commerce, while maintaining the free
dom Of the trade routes for the allies.
The effect of England's command OF the
seas has been felt not only upon Ger
many's industries, but also upon the
German supplies of food. The German
government has had To administer bread
supplies itself and while this does not
suggest critical economic situation, 1t
is a serious Inconvenience TO the nation.
/ Second only in Importance to the
positive accomplishments of the Ger
man army and the British navy has
been the failure of the Russian Of
fensive. The Slavs have gravely dis
appointed their western allies and the
annexation of German Poland bv
proclamation of the Czar during the
early days of the>war is now seen TO
have been Characteristic Of prema-
ture Slav methods. The Russian
d successes against Austria have re-
moved some of the dependency at
Petrograd over German victories, but
England and France have found no
military satisfaction in them. As
the new half year begins, Austria, in
fact, Is developing a new offensive

Frances position after six months
fighting is in no sense satisfactory.
The Germans have not been thrust
backward to any serious extent since
they established themselves on the
Aisne. but on the contrary. several
important gains along the south and
west fronts have been made by the
Kaiser's forces. A succession OF
French generals has failed to get to
the Rhine through Alsace, and if the
. Germans are ultimately driven from
French soil, the brunt of the work
will fall on Kitchener's new army of
a million.
The six months fighting has been
entirely satisfactory only to Servia
whose rivalry with Austria-HungarS
was the immediate cause Of the war.

"A man who swipes kids" he
answered.
