SAY SOMETHING GOOD.

Pick the folks you like the least and watch them for
while;
They waste kindly word they never waste a
smile,
They criticse their fellow every chance they
get,
They found human just suit their fancy yet.

From them guess you'd learn things if they
pointed out
Some things that every Of should know lot
about.
When "knocks" brother pass around the
loving-cup-
Say something good about him, if you have to make
it up
It's safe to say that every God made holds trace
of good
That he would fan exhibit to his fellows if he
could
The kindly deeds in many soul alternating
there,
Awaiting the encouragement of other souls that dare
To show the best that's in them; and universal
Would start the whole world running in hopeful help
full groove.
Say something sweet to parayze the 'knocker the
spot
Speak kindly of his victim if you know the man
or not.

TURKS WOULD
STEAL FOOD
(BY ASSOCIATED PRESS,

CAIRO, June 10-Refugees who ar
rived at Alexandria from Jaffa stated
to a representative of the Egyptian
Gazette that the American consul at
the Syrian port nipped plan of the
Turkish officials there to keep for
themselves three-quarters of the re-
lief supplies of food contributed by
the Jews of the United States to their
suffering co-religionists in Palestine.
The food was brought over on the
American ship Vulcan. Her arrival
at Jaffa was enthusiastically greeted
by the Turkish authorities for a reason
soon apparent. Before allowing any
food to go through to the starving
Jews, they demanded the greater part
for themselves.
Royal permission to land the sup
plies had, however, been granted by
the Sultan, and the arrival of the con-
sui with the necessary papers settled
the matter.

BRYAN'S RESIGNATION.

this time. Yet so far the only action
against them is the recent one of

CREDITS JOFFRE WITH
SKILL OF ADVANCE
(BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

VIENNA, June 10.-In an interview
published in the Neue Freie Presse,
the Crown Prince of Bavaria said that
while he regarded Joffre as the most
talented of the generals of the allies,
he attributed the advance on the
Marine to the skill of General French.
As to Lord Kitchener, he remarked:
II do not know him personally. He
apears a capable organizer. He
proved that in Egypt, and one must
do him this justice during the pres
ent war"
The Crown Prince said the British
losses at Neuve Chappelle had been
enormous, adding: ats retention had
no particular value for US, but we
do not surrender such positions Off
hand because the hostile press would
then announce a great victory"

FOUR YEAR COURSE AT HIGH
SCHOOL

The action Of the Board Of Edu-
cation in raising the standard Of
the High School, making a four
years course, is to be commended.
The course to be given will be ac-
cording to the State Standard, set
by the State Board Of Education,
making Newark on equal footing
with other Four-year High Schools
of the State. 1t is especially graf
flying that the Board has adopted
this standard, showing spirit Of
cooperation with the College and
those conducting the campaign
for educational advance.
Aside from this, however, it is
most important, in that the four
year course will be of decided ad-
vantage to the boy or girl unable
to attend college. This extra year
on our present course will be of
great benefit in facing the de-
mands of the workaday problems.
1t means better schools, higher
standards for college men, and bet
ter citizens.
Congratulations to the Board.
