JERSEY COAST SAVED
BY NORTHWEST WIND
Sea Rollers Held Back and
Many Forgotten Wrecks
Are Exposed to View.

LoNo BRANCH. y. j.. Dec. 2S.--The
storm Of this morning played many AN
tastic and freakish pranks along the
Jersey coast and inland. but there was
no loss of life directly attributable to
the gale n the number OF persons In
jured was surprisingly few.
Due largely 70 the fact that the wind
blew from the west and northwest. the
coast towns and villages suffered no
damage that canno be easily repaired.
The gale from landward held back the
sea rollers. always a troublesome factor
of storm situations along this coast. and
produced an unusually low tide.
The greatest annoyance came from
interruption Of trolley car service and
from the damage caused to electric light
ing wires. telegraph and telephone wires.
Seabright, Long Branch. Elberon. As
bury Park, Spring Lake. Point Pleas
ant and Brielle all suffered more or less
from such service Interruptions. but to-
night lighting and wire communication

WORLD SOCIALISTS
UNITE TO END WAR
Max s. Hayes Announces Wide
spread Preparations Look
ing to Peace.
REPORT on RUSSIA Barred

Max s. Hayes. ons Of the national
day announced widespread preparations
on the part OF the Socialists of the
principal countries 10 take international
action hooking to the termination of
the European war. Mr.. Hayes issued
the following announcement;
The Italian Socialist executive offi-
cials approve the action and manifesto
OF thu international Conference AZ Zim-
merwald. Switzerland. and call upon
all party organizations, all party papers.
the parliamentary group. Socialist offi-
cialj In municipalities and provincial
OFFICERS and all proletarian organizations
under Socialists to give their support and
activity to this resolution The sig
nitcant feature about this incident Is
that the Italian Government permitted
the Socialists to print and distribute
the statement. which contained this bold
declaration:
I've promise 10 circulate with ali
possible means md wherever We may
he. even against the opposition OF the
Government. the manifesto calling upon
the proletariat of all countries to unite
against war
Tn executive officials Of the Brit
ish Socialist party ndorsed the peace
manifesto issued by the international
conference nj Zinmerwald. by re:er-
endum vote the Socialists of Switzer-
land also Endorsed the peace proposals.
The Austrian Socialist party officials
are reported to have indorsed the peace
plan formulated by ths German Socialist
party executive offi ials. II opposes an
ncxation of territory. demands an inter-
national arbitration court, disarmament,
&c.
"The trade unionists, Socialists and
organized farmers of Denmark will hold
a special congress soon TO determine
what position the country should take
regarding war and peace. The workers
of Denmark are better organized. pro-
portionately. than those of any country
In Europe. Tn Socialist party is also
the largest political faction IN Denmark.
II cooperates with the Radical parts
In war matters and some Cth.rs. the
latter party being in control OF the Min
,stry. The Danish workers may bring
pressure to force peace moves.
PROF. Theodore Shiemann. one Of tho
widest known scholars In Europe. has
made an investigation OF conditions In
Russia. He says that in that country
only the Socialists and the Labo party
stood resolutely against the war that
the whole Russian nobility has changed
into a venal. corrupt officialdom, so the
old recruiting ground for officials no
longer exists that. being without COM
petent Officers. when soldiers would not
advance they were knouted by the Cos
sacks and compelled by machine guns
and artillery to attack and that the
ruling class is now impressing into SER
wire university students and schoolboys.
As they have all been influenced by
revolutionary propaganda since the be-
ginning OF the war, their being drafted
into the army must hasten the final coll
lapse"

get an idea Of these vast quantities. Mr..
Starr says. when he realizes that "A car
load of meat Is estimated at 20, 1000
pounds.
Thousands of tons OF meat also are
heid In refrigerating cars on
side tracks, Mr.. Starr adds, causing con.

POLITICAL DEFENCE
DERIDED BY WOOD
Tells for First Time After
Leaving Naval Board Of
Faults in Defence Plan.
RIDICULES IDEAS HE'LL

The danger of ~intrusting the safety
Of the United States to what he called
n "wilson- Daniels" navy instead of a
Dewey navy was emphasized last night
BY Henry A. Wise Wood at a meeting
Of prominent preparedness advocates at
the Plaza Hotel.
For the first time since his resigna-
ton as a member VI the Navy Consulting
Board Mr.. Wood frankly revealed at
the meeting. which was under the aus
pieces of the National Security League,
his views on preparedness and the posi-
bilitles of this unit becoudng involved
in war. MIR. Wood showed plainly that
he was not In accord with the Admins
tration navy or military preparedness
plans.
Frankly and In ill seriousness Mr..
US a Wilson-Daniel navy ! don't want
to invest money In New York city.
Draws Picture OF Peril.
When the terms of peace are drawn
at the end of the war In Europe, who
can say that Germany may not be ac-
corded the freedom to do what she
pleases In this hemisphere In return for
concessions which may he forced from
her in Europe? with German efficiency
In warfare and a German standing army
In South America you'll have an armed
camp here. II the German navy can
drive our navy off the seas she will
have all hat this land has TO offer.
"All that is offered to us by the Gar
rison defence plan is $4,000 raine
scattered in forty or Atty
political forts about the country to pre-
vent the landing of a force OF 100000
on the Atlantic coast and. In
case of n coalition a force of 100000
Japarese troops, for example. on the
Pacific. Our military advisers have
told Ls that forces of this size could be
ON our shores n few months after
the declaration OF war.
The danger of these two nations
hghtipg us IL not imaginary, as our
Monroe Doctrine conflicts with the Ger
colonial policy ana our Oriental
exclusion policy conflicts with tao in
tereSts Of Japan.
when we are sick We go TO "A doe
tor. When We wish to prepare FOR war
why should we go to politicians In
stead of to trained military advisers.
DO We want political defences or milf
tarys defences?
