ton and Gossip

TftIE Countess of Warwick, who is uni
versally regarded as the foremost
n woman leader of England, has writ
ten a remarkable article for this news
paper criticising the horde OF society and
theatrical women who have taken up war
nursing for the sake OF notoriety or In
frivolous spirit.
The Countess does not give names. but
many people In England know to whom
she refers. Some of the war nurses" at
whom she Is aiming are 30 highly placed
and influential that It would be difficult
for the authorities to remove them. Prob
ably the Countess expects that by her
severe criticism she will shame them into
retiring or reforming.
Nevertheless, much of the war nursing
done by prominent women appears to be
giving satisfaction. While It is of course
outrageous that woman should be
frivolous In the presence of suffering, 1t
Is q positive benefit to the wounded sol
der II an attentive nurse is handsome and
attractively dressed.
The handsome Duchess OF Westminster,
who was rather frivolous before the war,
is conducting pretty hospital for wounded
soldiers at LIE Touquet, near Paris. Strange
to say, her sister, the Princess of Pless,
who Is married to one of the richest noble
men of Germany, Is conducting an equal
ly successful hospital for German soldiers
near Berlin.
The picturesque dancer, Ida Rubinstein,
adored by Gabrielle d'Annunzio, has estab-
lished hospital in Paris. There she
gratif1es her dramatic instinct by wearing
her nurses uniform most effectively, while
she cheers up the wounded soldiers by her
graceful poses. tr.

A Chicago woman gave birth to an
infant that was physically deformed
and mentally deficient. The physician
informed her that an operation was
necessary to save its life, but that the
child would always be mentally de-
linquent. The mother, after consulta-
tation with her husband and friends,
decided it was best to let the babe die.
That was the proper thing to do. 1t
was best for the child, best for its
parents and best for society that this
course be pursued. Yet we thank
God that there are not many OF that
kind of mothers in the world.

The Last is the Best.

The Sank Centre Herald came to us
last week, and is by far the finest
Greater Minnesota Booster Edition
that it has been our pleasure to see
The paper contained forty pages and
was interesting from "kiver to kiver.'
The article on Minnesota" written
by Frank Eddy, associate editor of
the Herald, is the best Minnesota ar
ticle we have ever read-it is lust
such a boost for the North Star state
as all who know him would expect
from the pen of Mr.. Eddy, who is
one of the brightest, keenest and
most brilliant writer's that the coun-
try press of Minnesota has ever had
and that is going some. Asa M. Wal
lace the publisher of the Herald and
his able assistants may we'll feel
proud of the Greater Minnesota Edi-
ton of the Sank Centre Herald. ! No
one can read that issue of the Herald
without being convinced that Sank
Centre is the center of the garden
spot OF the state, and with that con-
vlctlon comes desire to be enrolled
among the fortunate and prosperous
inhabitants thereof. -Stewartville

For song of bird and hum of bee,

For fragrant air and cooling breeze,
For beauty of the blooming trees,

Hudspeth Says He's

Jersey City, Dec. 23-National Com
mitteeman Hudspeth, when asked
yesterday whether there are any
prospects that the New Jersey Demo-
Gratis will get together, said:
81 look for a harmonious party
long before the campaign of 1916
really opens. 1t is very likely that
the trouble will all be ironed out and
that united party will be ready to
give battle to the Republicans and
defeat them decisively."
When asked as to what candidate
would finally be nominated for the
Governorship, Mr.. Hudspeth replied
"Why, Wittpenn, of course. Every
week H. Otto Wittpenn is becoming
stronger. His leadership is being
recognized and his friends are COM
ing forward from all parts of the
State insisting that he be the nomi-
nee. He is being recognized as the
most available man to represent pro-
gressive Democracy. He will be
nominated and elected"

Doctor Minister Is
Fooled By Nephew
Who Aided His Escape

Here is a strange case reported in
Thursdays Hackensack Record:
Hans Alexander Won Matthesius,
of New York, was arranged before
Judge Seufert Wednesday on charge
of aiding DR.. Won Matthesius, his
uncle, to escape from the Hackensack
Hospital on November 6, where he
was confined as prisoner patient.
The young man entered plea of
guilty and sentence was laid over I'M
til January 3.
When DR.. Matthesius was brought
back from New York on Sunday
afternoon he declared that he had
walked from the Hackensack Hospi-
tai to Newark unaccompanied, and in
sisted that Hans Won Matthesius had
nothing to do with his escape
"Why Hans has confessed to us
and says he took you from the hos
pital to Newark on a trolley car"
said Lawyer De Turck.
eff he says that he tells a lie,"
snapped the doctor minister.
1t was very evident that the doctor
was determined to aid his nephew,
who had aided him in his escape, but
Hans seemed to be Gin bad" and made
a full confession.
DIR. Won Matthesius is now very
much exercised, and is fearful that
others are to be dragged into his
escape.

Time Has Changed
This Warrior Bold

Mr.. Roosevelt loudly declares that
it was our national duty to go to war
with Germany over the invasion of
Belgium.
In 1905 the United States had a
written treaty with the Kingdom of
Korea by which it had bound itself.
in case the integrity of Korea was
threatened by third Power, to use
it's good offices to protect Korea.
That year the Japanese, without
any pretext of a quarrel, seized Ko-
rea on the plea of military necessity
and proceeded to occupy the country,
precisely as Germany has occupied
Belgium-by force.
The Korean Government, helpless
to defend itself, appealed to the
President of the United States to
fulfill the treaty obligations and use
his good offices to protect Korea
against Japan.
The President of the United States
fatty refused to interfere or to carry
out the treaty obligations of the
United States to its feeble friend.

that year was Theodore Roosevelt

ough ?" said the lazy chap who never
cleaned his own walk in his life. But
he had company. There were others
who helped make the air blue. On
Friday night things reached their
worst. The snow still everywhere in
hummocks, ruts and mounds, was
made into a more slippery-t han-eels-
or-some-people state, and in places
walking was absolutely dangerous.
For instance, over at the Junction,
where the snow was still in OK
treated condition, which means
lumpy, the freezing rain made perils
many for even a good skater who at
tempted to keep his feet. The few
walks around town that had been
cleared off by generous citizens be-
came glaze slicker than peeled
onions, and any number of people
suddenly sat down without any in
tention of doing so. This latter con-
dition wasn't borough neglect, but
the situation wouldn't have been SO
bad if one could have had clear
walks for skating.
AS for going up ones own stoop,
many had to lay down on the job
and crawl in, and put the ashes on
later.
eThus we have" as one resident
put it, "a condition of swear, rear
and tear, and we can't help our
selves"
Up in Fort Lee, people wondered
how it would feel to have Main street
torn up for another three or four
months, as it was for over a year
through the paving job, if the winter
held to steady course and didn't
fly the compass"

IF 40. 900 American
Towns We're To
Send A Soldier?

If each one of the 10000 "associ-
ated" towns, which constitute the
United States, were to send one citi-
zen to serve in an army of defense,
the country would have towns
army of not far from the present
standing army in size. If each
county was to send one man to serve
as an officer, we would have an Off
GERS contingent of 1000.
If for each one of the country's
thousands of population a representa-
tive were sent, an army of 100000
would thus be raised. Cliffside Parks
share on this basis would be five men,
the just division by sections of the
borough being say two men from
Grantwood, one from Edgewater
Heights section, and two from Cliff
side. Each man might wear a dis
tinguishing badge, or "coat-of-arms,"
for his town.
