The London Daily News)-A new
and highly important phase of the
German blockade of England dawned
on Thursday. when the submarine

the submarine suddenly appeared on

when the Batavier V. was last stopped

ship was TO be confiscated.
1t was still gray dawn when the
submarine drew alongside and her
commander shouted: 81 am going to

The Captain of the Batavier v pro
tested that he was a neutral. and the
conversation was proceeding when an
other ship. the Zaanstromm, appeared
on the horizon. The submarine I'M.

ordered her to STOP but she took m
notice, and the submarine fired at her
with a quick-hring gun. The small

Things To Know
Dust Fighting.

Persons using a vacuum cleaner for
the first time can scarcely believe
their eyes when they behold the re-
suit.
Every time we enter a house we
bring in dust on our feet and gar
ments, and open windows and doors
are constantly contributing.
The difference between indoor dust
and outdoor dust is that, indoors, the
germ-laden dust settles to floors and
furniture, and is, about once in so
often, disturbed by busting and by
our moving about the rooms; where
as out of door dust and germs are
being continually driven from one
place to another by the air currents.
Sweeping with brooms simply dis
turbs the dust, and this, followed by
most kinds of dustings, only sends
the dust from one place to another,
from floor and furniture to walls and
hangings. Much of it is not destroy
ed or expelled, only redistributed.
Health demands bare floors and
rugs. These are more easily kept
clean, and rugs have the advantage
of being taken out Of doors, thus re-
moving for good and all much dust
that might otherwise remain within.
Carpet sweepers are an improve
ment upon brooms, and their con-
tents should be burned. The vacuum
cleaner is better still, and it's con-
tents should be burned or buried.
Dampened dust cloths and, best of
all, damp chamois skin hold the dust
after collecting it, which no dry dust
cloth does. Dry ones simply watt
the dust from one place to another
as feather busters do. Dampened
sawdust or bits of paper scattered
over carpets help in a measure, as
both hold the dust after getting it.
Theaters and places of amusement
are almost never sufficiently cleaned
or ventilated, and having carpets and
upholstered seats only makes the mat
ter more complicated. Ventilation is
becoming recognized as important for
Palisadian. [volume] (Cliffside Park, N.J.) 1906-current, 1915-08-28
What's The Use?

When you come to think about it,
this is heluva world, anyhow.
True, ranting and raving don't get
US anywhere, and this is really the
only world that we know anything
about, but it seems to be going to the
demnition bow-bows lately.
Worldwide warfare, millions dying
on battlefelds, volcanoes in eruption,
train wrecks, sinking ships carrying
thousands to the oceans bed, sin,
death, pestilence, destruction, worth
less cotton crops, boil weevils, cattle
ticks, scandal mongers, notorious
crooks being elected to office-but
what's the use?
We hereby absolve ourselves from
any degree of responsibility for these
things.
If the world wants to go to hell q
whooping, we're not going to make
any effort to stop it.-Exchange
That's a poor doctrine, brother. All
any good editor is fit for is to re-
form the world. When you see any
thing going wrong, tell EN- about it.
Of course, f they don't stop it
you've done your duty. The world
would have gonetohell long ago but
for the good editors.-Exchange.

No Objections

George Gordon Moore, the Detroit
financier, was talking about Genera
Sir John French, who is a frequent
visitor at Mr.. Moore's beautiful Lon
don house in Lancaster Gate, with its
outlook over Hyde Park.
"Sir John French" he said, "has
been terribly handicapped, this first
year of the war, by lack of ammuni-
ton. When l think of the men who
are responsible for this lack, l try
to be fair an unbiased, but its hard
81 feel, in fact, like the man on the
murder jury.
Mr.. Smith, they said to this man
before we take you on the jury, we
must ask whether you have formed
any opinion of the prisoners guilt
or innocence"
No. said Smith grimly. No,
amt formed no opinion"
And, Mr.. Smith, have you, OF
have you not, any conscientious OBJ,
jections to capital punishment ?"
Not said Smith more grimly
still, not in this CASE"

Tribute To
English Valor

Editor Tribune: In your issue of
the Sd of August your editorial page
paragrapher has the two following
items:
'Unto the last dollar will England
continue the war;" says Carson. Must
intend to buy victory-she certainly
isn't fighting for it." And again:
"Great Britain takes great credit
for landing her troops on the Cont
nent without losing a man in transit.
At this writing we can't see why she
transported them at all"
Not fighting! Did the British fight
at Mons, where against overwhelming
odds they effected what the world ac-
knowledges to have been a glorious
retreat? Did they fight at Neuve
Chapelle and La Basse, where they
went to death in their thousands in
an attempt to break the German
lines?
Did they, and are they, fighting at
Ypres, where they have borne the
brunt of the attack again and again
stemming the German advance in the
face of gas bombs, burning oil,
poisonous vapors and all the devil
ments of uncivilized warfare, and
which no army has ever been called
upon to face? Ask the Germans
themselves what of the British army.
Not fighting!
What would you have? Must the
British army-smaller than that of
any of the Great Powers-hack its
way through to Berlin, when the
great German machine and the armies
of France face each other month
after month, powerless to advance :?
Is it nothing that the greater part
of the original British force sent to
France have been swept away? Is it
nothing that their places have been
instantly filled by raw volunteer re-
cruits who still hold the lines unbrok-
en- while death calls them each day
by hundreds and often thousands?
When America lost her soldier sons
at Vera Cruz, was it ever said of them
that they did not fight? All honor
was paid to them, and rightly so, for
they were brave men. 1t is well to
gibe at the British soldiers, who in
the face of greater hardships, and

Starting of West Palisade

Several years after the town of Pail
SADIE proper was well under way, H.
D. Douglas, one of its pioneers, con-
ceived the idea of establishing a COM
munity upon the western slope of the
Palisades. About five or six years
ago he built several houses over there
and called the place West Palisade.
The spot had a view almost unpar-
alleled in this section of New Jersey
and other houses soon followed. Since
that time dwellings have sprung up
here and there, although owing to
natural conditions, the development
was not as rapid as had been the case
in Palisade. But there is we'll es-
tablished community over there on
the western slope and it is as pretty
a one as there is for many miles.

1.-THE Golden Rule
Of Kindness

Sometimes when the wheels of life
are not running very smoothly, and
the weather is as hot as blazes, and
you have the blue-devils or the brown
microbes, and life is just one con-
founded thing after another, and you
are beginning to feel flabby and ugly
and all n-down-at-th heel, and be-
gin to wonder if working twelve or
fourteen hours a day for that elusive
thing called success, is what it's crack
ed up to be, did you ever meet a man
who slapped you on the back and
said: "Old Sport! That last piece of
work Of yours was all to the good"
Or did you, just at this time of
spiritual degeneration, pick up your
phone to answer a call, and have
some one to say: 81 want to thank
you for those good words of yours
or that deed of yours-or that letter
of yours-it has helped mel"
When you leave that friend, or put
down that phone, or maybe read a
few words in a letter from an I'M
expected source, which says: "Your
efforts are counting and l want to
thank you"-it does not make any
difference who you are, what your
vocation in life may be, the spiritual
sloth slips from your shoulders like
a garment, and it matters not how
hot it may be, or how hard the days
task, something seems to have lifted,
life looks brighter, the task seems
more worth while and easier, and
there comes new zest in the bust
ness of living.
1t is not because the work is really
any easier than it was before, or that
the hours are any shorter or the re-
suits any more worth while, but
something within that had slackened,
braces and becomes resilient again,
and responds to the urge of life, from
within and without.
1t may be childish, it may be by
product of weakness, or it may be the
tacit acknowledgement of a souls
need of the tonic of appreciation. But
whatever it is, we are all alike in
this-that the kindly word, the cord

A Little Talk
On How Palisade
Has Grown Apace
By Randolph Brown

Ten years ago, back in April, 1915
the first house in this town was
occupied and the village of Palisade
started. The town developed rapidly
and within two years a good sized
community had sprung up between
Palisade avenue on the east and
Anderson avenue on the west. The
Hudson River Lines trolley tracks
marked the southern boundry of the
village while it extended northward
no further than a few feet beyond
Dorincourt road. Since that time
there have been three distinct de-
velopments of the residential part of
Palisade.

ial message, the friendly hand clasp
are real helps on the way-stimulat-
ing US to further and better effort.
There is nothing more disgusting
than fulsome flattery. There is moth
ing that is better tonic for the soul
than the word of appreciation in
season.
We all like it. 1t is no use to pre-
tend that we do not, and when it can
help so much to make living pleas
anter and easier and finer, it is a
wonder that we do not oftener use

health, but the removal and destruct-
ion Of dust is not given sufficient at
tention. Public conveyances and
sleeping cars are subject to the same
criticism. The oiling of public street,
is splendid stride in the right direc-
ton, as it confines the dust. AS it is
absolutely certain that tuberculosis
comes to us through the dust of the
air, tubercular persons should, at
least, guard their mouths, when
coughing, with the handkerchief.
This counsel of decency is worthy of
commentator.
