THE ENEMY SIGHTED.

The readers of The Invasion of
America" the serial story, INSTALL
ments of which are appearing in the
EVENING NEWS every Friday and
Saturday, have been left at a most
interesting point The invading
fleet has been sighted off our coast.
The wild demand for protection
made by our coast cities Immediately
after war was declared is not over
drawn. The rude awakening of the
congressman who had belittled the
possibilities Of war and refused to
vote for an adequate army and navy
to protect our shores is just what
would be expected, yet what good
could they do then?
Perhaps the most interesting
feature in the installment published
Saturday was the way the transports
carrying the troops of the enemy
were kept within the innermost line
of great ships any one line of which
it was impossible to penetrate. The
brilliant illumination of the sea
surrounding the transports during
the night, SO that not a chip of wood
could float on the surface unob-
served, let alone a destroyer or a
submarine, is one of the striking
realities of modern warfare and
brings out the difficulties our navy
would have in defeating really
formidable foe.
But there is a great deal more to
come that is equally interesting.
Next Friday and Saturday we will
read how the enemy effects a land
ing on our coast in spite of all that
We can do to prevent it. Don't fail
to read every instalment of "The
Invasion of America" not only for
the entertainment that there is in it,
but for the instruction as to our
national preparedness as well.

which the men have responded to
the opportunity afforded them and
the great interest taken in the work
is highly commendable and shows a
spirit Of cooperation between en-
ployer and employe that means
much for the welfare of both. The
Raritan Copper Works has set an
example that might well be followed

DEVELOPING PARKS.

The aldermen's activities for parks
and the development Of the city
beautiful are little tardy, but
nevertheless welcome. The recent
warm weather has emphasized the
need of parks more than ever, but
the season is now so far advanced
that not great deal of good can be
derived from parks this year. How
ever, every step made in this direc-
ton now means that much accom-
pllshed for next year.
Perth Amboy must have parks.
The people demand them. They are
a necessity to our future health and
prosperity. The land which we al
ready have under development is
only a beginning. The Merritt tract,
which some ridicule as a site for a
PAL n now WILL pG OLS VI Jul 81 SdLSSL
assets FIVE years hence. That sec
tion Of the city is building up rapid
| ly. Within a few years the Merritt
tract will be in the center of large
population. 1t will be worth twice
what the city paid for it. Then the
people living in that section will
have fourteen acres Of open space
for fresh air and recreation. In
buying land for parks 1t is the future
that must be kept In view rather
than the present. Many a city has a
beautiful park today surrounded by
a teeming population, that was once
an ugly swamp or disease breeding
dump. The time to have secured
site for park in the heart of the
city was years ago when the land
was cheap. The time is rapidly
passing when a waterfront site can
be secured at anything like a reason
able figure.
Let the aldermen proceed with
their parks. Even the plot at
Fayette street and New Brunswick
avenue is 100 per cent, better than
it used to be when used as a storage
ground for the street department.
We hope soon the city viii be able
to go into the park question in real
earnest, secure the services of an
expert landscape architect and give
the city something really worth
while, IN the meantime, by throw
ing open to the public the city's
acres at the almshouse, the tract at
the old water works, and making a
boulevard out of our beautiful
waterfront along the Bluff. progress
is being made.

"FIRsr AID" DEMONSTRATION.

"FIRsT AID" DEMONSTRATION.
The extent to which some in
dustries are going to safeguard the
lives of their employees was forcibly
demonstrated at the exhibition drill
and contests on the Raritan Copper
Works grounds Saturday afternoon.
"safety First" has come to be a by
word with nearly everybody. Many
people who use the expression, how
ever, have little idea what it means.
Even those who understand the
movement, or think they do, can
have little conception of what is
actually going on to make it really
worth while until they see such
demonstration as has Just been given
by the Raritan Copper Works men.
The thoroughness with which the
Raritan Copper Works has gone into
this thing is realized when We learn
that the entire plant is organized for
efficiency in safeguarding the lives
of employees Every department has
its team of trained men made up of
employees in that department. who
are as skilled in administering first
aid to the injured" as many sur
geons. One physician who was a
judge in the contest Saturday, stated
afterward that the longer the con-
test lasted the harder it was to pick
flaws in the work and the more per
feet scores he was giving. He ex-
pressed astonishment that ordinary
employees taken from every depart
ment of the big plant could become
SO skilful in treating fractures,
bandaging wounds and otherwise
caring for man who had been in
iured.
We do not believe there Is an IN
dustry Of any size in the country
that has developed more proficiency
in this matter than the Raritan
Copper Works. And, We are told,
the end is not yet as still greater de-
yelopment is planned for the future,
for, although it means considerable
expense to the corporation it pays
not only in the conservation of life
and service, but financially as well.
The Raritan Copper Works man
agement is to be congratulated on
the pains taken in behalf of their
employees. It speaks volumes for a
concern when so much interest isl
manifested in welfare work among
the men. 1t shows that the employ
IS are considered something more

in a while the board finds large
landowner who is willing to assist
in this work. A notable example
of this class is E. L. Trask of Min
neapolis, who has contributed half
the cost of extending one of these
roads this season. He sees to it
that his land is accessible before he
gets his buyer. What's the result?
He makes quicker sale, at a better
price, and, as rule, to a better
class of people than he otherwise
would or could. Mr.. Trask profits
by the construction of this road, and
so does the community. Would that
there were more Trasks in the land
business
If other large nonresident land
owners would manifest the same
spirit as Mr.. Trask they would reap
larger profits in the enhanced value
of their holdings

Mr.. Nelson is in his seventy third

requests from places much larger
than Princeton to deliver addresses,
out he comes here to fulfill a prom

appreciates his kindness and cour-
tesy in coming. He should be greeted
by large and attentive audience.

Initial Cost Too Much.

and power plant on the Elk river at
that place, was in town to consult
with the members Of the Water,

the idea of furnishing electricity to
run the electric light and water
plant at this place. The commission
took the matter under advisement
at their regular monthly meeting on
Tuesday evening. We're it not for
the large initial cost, which would
not be less than fifteen Or twenty
thousand dollars, the scheme proposed
by Mr.. Waterman might be favor
ably considered. but the commits
