viii Pray for Peace.

VIII FRAY TOR FeaCe.
The Right Rev. Paul Matthews,
Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal
Diocese of New Jersey, announced
that he had appointed day of spe-
cial fasting and humiliation and the
Sunday following as day of interces-
sion for peace. In a letter to the
clergy the Bishop says:
"Now, for more than year, the
world has been plunged into the worst
war in history. We cannot say that
it has not touched us. AS one of the
family of nations, we must share in
the veal or woe of the world.
"a generous response has gone, and
is going, out from the heart of Amer
lea to meet the dreadful need of the
destitute and the wounded. Those who
have given time, labor, or money to
this cause have done well. But there
seems, nevertheless, to be an appalling,
indifference.
"Our prayers for peace are not as
constant or as insistent as they shou'
be- The newspapers are full of VIC
news. Why do we not as Christians
besiege Heaven with our prayers for
peace.

Kick on Pupil Orchestras.

The Trenton Musical Union intends
to present a protest to the Board of
Education to the practice of school
orchestras playing for school and
mothers club entertainments. The
protest is to be presented by G. Fred
Ruhlman, president of the union, who
says that the musicians are taxpayers,
contributing money for the mainten-
ance of the schools and salaries of
teachers. The children, he says.
should not compete with union musi-
clans and deprive them of the income
they need.
The orchestras are formed to stimu-
late the interest of the children in the
study of music. They play at the en-
tertainments in the schools with
which they are connected and also
at the entertainments and socials con-
Quoted by the mothers clubs. The
teachers and the parents insist if any
money had to be paid for the music
at these little entertainments there
would be no music, because there
would be no money. A unique fact
about this protest is that many of
the young players are children of
union zen, who received early train
ing in school orchestras.

Need Not Improve Service.

Admitting, as an abstract propcs;-
ton, the duty of water company to
furnish adequate service to any COM
munity in which it operates, the
Board of Public Utility Commissioners
has refused at this time to order the
Morris Aqueduct Company to better
the service at Morris Plains. The ac-
ton of the board is based upon the
assumption that the residents of Nor
ris Plains would not pay the addi-
tional rates necessary to afford the
aqueduct company a reasonable re-
turn upon the outlay needed

ButeARfANs SUFFER BIG LOSS

BUtGHRfANS SUFFER BIG LOSS
Paris.-After a battle lasting four
days, in which staggering losses were
inflicted on the Bulgarians and Ger
mans, the Anglo-French expeditionary
force began general retireme
from Southern Serbia.
The fleeing army is making its
way with all haste, but in good order
to the base at Saloniki, where it will
find safety under the protection Of
the guns of the allied fleet
Both the British and French are
well supplied with field artillery and
machine guns and have an abundance
of ammunition, but had to give way
before superior numbers.
They kept up an unequal struggle
until threat of an outflanking move
ment from Petrovo, where the Bull
garians were massed in large num-
bers, and a thrust at their line of COM
munications by Bulgarian irregulars
who had crossed the Greek frontier
made their position untenable.
Under this pressure the French have
Withdrawn from the Krivolak salient
and at last accounts had taken up a
position at Demirkapou, in a deep
gorge about twenty miles from the
Greek frontier, through which the
Salonika railway runs. Here they
were attacked by the Bulgarians. After
a hard fight the Bulgarians were re-
pulsed, Paris reports.
The German War Office admits the
capture by the Russians of a Ger
man aeroplane with it's occupants on
the Courland coast
The Penn's Grove record., 1915-12-17

London.-The British and French
expeditionary force in Serbia has es-
capped the overwhelming force of Bull
garians and Germans and has a clear
road to Saloniki, where it can retire
without molestation to the protection
of the guns of the fleet, it was report
ed here.
Great forces of the Allies are being
landed at Saloniki, and the port is
being strongly fortified as a base,
which, with the protection of war
ships, is regarded as practically i'm
pregnable.
The British, in their retreat, al
though unable to stem the tide by
reason of being SO heavily outnum-
bered, are said to have inflicted a
loss of 5000 dead and wounded on
the Bulgarians.
Berlin says two British divisions
were annihilated n the retreat
A division of the British army, on
a war footing, usually comprises 20,-
900 men.
The British War Office, without
making an official denial, asserts the
report is an exaggeration. The dis
patches from Athens and Salonica in
dicate that the forces of the Allies
got away with losses that were COM
paratively small, and that the retreat
was not a rout, but was carried out
in an orderly manner and with an un-
broken front.
By the destruction of railway bridg-
es and roads and by stubborn rear
guard actions, in one of which two
companies of an Inniskilling regiment
sacrificed themselves to save their
comrades, the Bulgarians were kept
from sweeping in and scattering the
troops and gathering up munitions
they had counted on capturing.
Turkish troops in large force are
reported to have arrived near the
Greek frontier.
The concentration of force of 40
900 Bulgarians and an equal num-
ber of Austro-Germans between Mon
astir and the Greek frontier is re-
ported from Saloniki. Thi- force is
said to include many cavalry troops.

May Ask Extension.
In all probability the Legislature

HE PRAISES WILLARD.
John L. Sullivan Says Kansas Cham
piOn Is the Real Thing.
(By John L. Sullivan.


Boston, Mass, April 22.-I have
seen Jess willard, the present heavy
weight champion of the world, for the
first time and l must say that I was
greatly impressed. His great size
struck me first. Then the strsightfor-
ward manner in which he speaks and
later in my interview with him,
and that feature is what impressed
me the greatest.
Willard would never have been the
worlds champion today if he had not
lived the right sort of a life. 1 tell
you, boys, it pays to live right and
Willard is a great example of clean
pion if he sticks to the straight path,
and after my lengthy talk with him
1 am sure that he will continue to
lead the simple life.
Willard looks like champion and
acts like champion and 1 predict
he will remain a champion for a
long time to come.
1 met Willard for the first time to-
day and talked with him for long
time. 1 related to him my many ex-
periences in the ring. 1 told him
what was what in my days and adj
vised him what to do to become the
greatest heavyweight champion we
ever had. Willard listened to my adj
vice and when 1 got through he said:
John, you undoubtedly know. T
will always remember what you have
said to me and your words will help
me to continue my present way of

Cy Says:
The world seldom argues with the
man who sticks his nose up in the air
and tries to leave the impression he
is a sort of a superior being.
Some guys try to get by on their
bull, but they could go a great deal
further if they saved their jitneys and
rode in Fords.
1t amt who you look like, or what
your name is or where you come from
that counts, it's making hard ones
look easy and driving out the safe
ones that win ball games.
Anybody can hit a home run once in
a while, but it takes a sure enough
ball player to deliver the good when
goods are scarce.
They call certain kind of fish
sucker, but just the same you can't
catch this particular fin specimen on
a baited hook.
1t is true that some ball players are
rough necks. Also, it is true that
some ball players condct themselves
in a way that would not look we'll be-
this is the exception rather than the
rule. There are probably as many
real gentlemen playing baseball for a
living as there are hopping counters,
ing in high society. And there is one
thing that can be said about baseball
men that cannot be said about the fol-
lowers of many other professions:
They are clean, fair competitors. They
give each other credit for their accom-
plishments, and they recognize ability
in an opponent as quickly as in any
other man. They are true sports.
Here is an example of the above:
One night this week several Savages
were sitting in front of their hotel
talking. They were discussing the
work of those who were not present
Somebody said something about a
young pitchers ability and about him
needing little more experience. One
of the old pitchers who was in the
crowd, spoke up and said: "Well, I'll
tell you, fellows, he looks mighty good
to me, and 1 would just as soon see
him pitch the opening game as any
other man."
Then the conversation drifted
around to one of last seasons twirlers
and another of the old pitchers said
I've seen that boy rub his arm for
an hour and a half trying to get the
soreness out of it so he could pitch
a game, and you can always bet your
dough that he will give you all he's
got'
One of the old pitchers who had
been engaged in the conversation got
up and left, and after he was out of
earshot, the other one remarked:
why guy with as good an arm as
that fellow has stays in the Western
League is more than 1 can under
