 The Tidens Tegn says that it now is necessary that the government break it's silence and let the people know what it has done and is going to do in order to stop these cont1n- ued encroachments, and protect our flag our sailors and peaceful travel ers.
 The Morgenbladet says: while our sailors are met by fnsidious death, while our flag is offended and Norwegain ships are torpedoed with out warning, the government and par lament are busy discussing whether Norwegian or whether the hymns and prayers are to be discontinued in public schools.

 Both girls IT years of age. are employed as ushers in a local thea ter and after their work Saturday evening they boarded iftney and rode to Walnut beach. They stayed until after o'clock, when they wera afraid to return home, both of their mothers having given orders that they must be in their houses no later than 12 o'clock.
 The driver of the jitney. James DdonicoIa, 130 Clarence street, was arrested on a technical charge oE breach of the peace. Judge Frank l.. Wilder ordered him held until to- morrow under bonds of $500 and Di- onicola was remanded to jail.
 Before noon Mrs Annie Radel mother of Irene LaMontes was in re- ceipt of a letter from her daughter, informing her that she was at pres ent in New York city stopping with relatives and that both would return if fares were sent them They eol- pIained the cause of their disappeaT- anee and said they hoped they would be forgiven and promised that they would avoid being in such g, predica- meut in the future. Dionicola had been transferred to the jail one hour before the letter was received and it is believed that he will be releas- ed upon recommendation of Prosecut- ing Attorney Delaney.
