Another Naval Blunder.

That rascal !oscphus Daniels, has done i.
again He has picked able young captain. Ben
son. with fine record. to be the first chief of opc-
rations. The idea of bringing new and fresh blood
into the Navy Department! Every old shellback
within it whose advice Mr.. Daniels has not taken
at one time or another will rock and swear anew.
And for this additional insult to Rear Admiral
Fiskc it really passes belief. But the worst of it
all is that the newspapers that have been taking
it out OF Josephus arc for once nodding. Here
is the Suns Washington correspondent actully
telegraphing that Capt. Benson has an excellent
record"-as if any appointec of Secretary Daniels
could be worth while-and by some oversight he
is also permitted to wire that Secretary Daniels
is making rules for the new bureau (which are
regarded as liberal interpretations of the law and
all that could be expected Now, how is that
possible, when, all know, Secretary Daniels
can do nothing right? OF course, if Meyer or
Roosevelt had done this, the welkin> would ring
with pacans OF praise for the man who picked q
young, aggressive captain for this great new of.
hce. But when. Daniels does anything we must
be certain that there is terrific bunder or a ma
licious effort to injure the navy involved in IL

The Easter entertainment was sue
cessfully rendered on Sunday evening,
April 18th by the Sunday School, to
an interested congregation. In spite
of the unfavorable weather the church

by the choir, recitations, motion
songs, dialogues, pantomime exercls-
es, butterfly drill, lily drill by young
ladies, blue ribbon drill and p~anto-
mime by girls, initiation of bird song
and chorus by select voices. Also the
exercise, "The Christ of Galilee", was
presented, which proved to be very eff
fective, showing scenery of The Cross,
The Hill, Lone and Gray, also a Tomb.
AN limitations of rocks. The decora-
tions were plants and white lilies:
The tableau was also a beautiful
scene entitled Beyond the Blue,
with about 20 participants.
The Sunday School is in a flourish
ing condition.
In addition to the regular Easter
treat, all scholars whose names were
on the Gold Star Attendance Roll for
attending three months without miss
ing a Sabbath, received a box of

Elmer E. Kiger, SO years of age, a
citizen of Pleasantville, sustained a
possible fracture of the skull, frac-
ture of several ribs, and possibly in

pain, at the Atlantic City Hospital.
Kiger is a painter by trade. He
was working on a building in Atlantic
City when the accident occurred. He
had placed a tail ladder up against

high up on one of the rungs, conduct
ed his painting. In an effort to shift
his position, he slipped and fell to the
ground about 20 feet below, landing
full on one side.
The hospital authorities state that
his recovery is problematical. He is
suffering great pain, and is very UNI
easy.
