The Economy and Efficiency Com
mission gave a public hearing on it's
proposed recommendation to the legis-
lature for a State purchasing depart
ment with a State purchasing agent.
Samuel Porcher, purchasing agent
for the Pennsylvania Railroad; G. B.
Williams, purchasing agent for the
Central Railroad, and Frederick
Leach, central purchasing agent for
New York City, were witnesses be-
fore the commission and told of the
successful operation of the purchas-
ing scheme.
Mr.. Williams told the committee
that instead Of the Central Railroad
advertising for supplies, as required
by the State comptroller's Office. the
railroad sent out acquisitions to large
dealers who furnished prices without
the expense of advertising.
you don't have to go through the
red tape of a comptroller's depart
ment," Chairman Walter E. Edge said
to Mr.. Williams.
Mr.. Leach said his purchasing de-
partment took care of supplies for all
the institutions in New York City and
lower prices have been secured
through cooperation.
DR.. James M. Green, principal of
the State Normal School at Trenton,
complained to the commission of the
red tape necessary in New Jersey in
order to purchase goods, particularly
those of a perishable nature. DR..
Green explained hat there should be
a certin liberty to the buyer of an
institution in order that he could go
to the open market with certain dis
erection in purchasing supplies.
Edward d. Duffield, of Newark, a
member of the board of managers of
the Railway Reformatory, also COM
planned of the present system of buy
ing supplies for institutions in this
State.
Mr.. Dufield said the theory of adj
vertising in New Jersey for institu-
tiona1 supplies was wrong and ex-
pressed the opinion that it would be
better for the superintendent of an
institution to be permitted to go in
the open market and secure the low
est prices.
ga more wasteful system could not
be devised than the n under which
we are now working" Mr.. Duffield
said.

PITH OF THE
WAR NEWS


"We continue to gain, foot by foot"
says the statement issued at Paris.
The impetuous charge of the first
two days of the great battle has
been succeeded by a slow, hammer
ing advance.
AS usual, there is a great divergence
between the German and French af-
fetal accounts of the battles. The
Germans claim that all the French
attacks have been repuIsed.
Both the British and French have
greatly improved their positions by
gaining the hills and crests from
which they can dominate the Ger
man lines of communication.
In the Argonne the Germans have
begun an offensive with vigor, but
thus far it has not resulted in any
material gains.
The Austro-German assaults on Dvinsk
have been checked by the defense
of General Ruzsky and the opera
tons there have come to a temper
airy ~standstilI.
East of wilma stubborn battles are RAG
ing in the region of ViIeika, where
the Germans have succeeded in ad-
Vancing northward of ViIeika to the

Kaiser Wilhelm, on hearing of the
drive by the Allies armies in France
and Flanders, made immediate pre-
parations to move his headquarters
from Poland, on the east battle front,
to Luxembourg, on the west front.
In Champagne the battle following
the Allies great offensive continued
without abatement. French troops are
now facing the second line of German
defense works on a front bounded by
Hill 1856, the height of Souain, the tree
of Hill 1913, the village and the height
of Tahure.
The Greek Government requisition-
ed 20 merchant vessels for the trans
portation of troops. Among the yes
sells requisitioned are the t~ransatlan-
tic liners Themistocles, King Constan-
tine, and PATHS.
A German underwater boat halted
off Fastnet the British horse trans
port ship Anglo-Columbia, gave the
vessel warning, waited until the crew,
including six Americans, had taken to
the boats, and then torpedoed and
sank the vessel, according to a cable
dispatch from American Consul Frost
at Queenstown.
Mobilization of the military forces
of Greece is in full swing. King Con
stantine and the Government are in
complete accord in the determination
that the army shall be used only in
defense of Greek territory.
Bulgaria ordered general mobiliza
ton of all military forces, to main
tain armed neutrality. Troops are con-
centrating along the Serbian frontier.
Serbia declared the Serbia-Bulgarian
frontier a closed war zone, and is
preparing to meet a Bulgarian inva-
sion.

Paris.-The French and British re
tanned all the ground gained in their
big rush and repulsed many counter.
attacks by the Germans from the sea
to the Swiss broder.
In Champagne there is no abate-
ment in the battle, and the French
are holding the ground captured in
front of the second position of the
German defense marked by hill No.
1875, to the west of the Navarian farm,
the Souain hillock, the tree of hill
No. 1913 and the village hillock of
Tahure.
The number of cannon captured ex-
ceeds seventy field guns and heavy
pieces.
Northwest of Hulluch the British
~repulsed many attempts of the Ger
mans to recover lost ground and in
ficted big losses ON the Kaiser's
troops.
The British also pushed their ad-
vance with the bayonet and took i'm
portant positions. They captured SO
German officers and $500 men in their
close range fighting, and gathered in
much war material abandoned by the
Germans in their retirement.
1t is now estimated that the Ger
man prisoners captured by the French
and British in their original rush will
total more than %, 900.
A German announcement says that
almost 1000 French and British were
captured in the battle, and that a Brit
ish warship was sunk and two others
were damaged by German shells when
bombarding Zeebrugge.
Tremendous counter-attacks were
made by the Germans at every point,
but their efforts failed to slacken the
Anglo-French offensive, and a big sac
rifice of men was not able to 0
any of the ground lost in the battles of
the last seventy-two hours.
The German forces already on the
western front are estimated to number
fully 1000. 900 men, and the Kaiser is
reported to be rushing from the east
reinforcements as rapidly as possible.
The fighting is still in the OPEN, and
has reached the stage of attack and
counter-attack which may continue for
weeks before a decisive result is at.

ALLIED DRIVE IN WEST.

London.-The French and British
armies captured German trenches
along a front of about twenty miles
between the Belgian coast and Yer,

The French stormed and captured
the town OF Souchez and are making
further progress in the whole section
north of Arras.
The British have clinched their hold
on the town of Loos and have gained
full possession of the quarries north
west of Hulluch.
The Germans at several points
were forced back to their reserve po-
sitions, abandoning their machine
guns and howitzers as they retired
before the resistless onslaughts OF
their foes.
The French made their heaviest at
tack against the German lines around
Perthes, Beausejour and Shippes, IN
Champagne, and the Importance OF
their big gain lies in the fact that
every yard of ground taken in this
region weakens the German position
behind Verdun, from which the mill
tary experts of the allies say the
Kaiser's forces will be driven if they
do not speedily check the French
advance.

London.-Sir Edward Grey took {
hand in the Balkan situation, and il
the House of Commons gave the an
swer of the Allies to the probable in
tervention of Bulgaria on he side o.
Germany. In perfectly friendly Ian
guage the Foreign Secretary intimat
ed that the patience of the Entente
powers was exhausted and that Bull
garia must come down ON one side
of the fence or the other or come tc
grief.
Bulgaria's decision must now be
made very quickly, and it is hoped
here that the suggestion of what is
likely to happen should she join Ger
many will be sufficient. Among the
best informed listeners Sir Edwards
warning was held to indicate that Bull
garia could never again expect help
or support from the Allies no matter
what might befall her.
The belief that Bulgaria never had
n real intention of joining forces
with Germany, but merely intended to
impress the Allies in order to secure
her own terms, is strengthened in
many quarters by Sir Edward Grey's
speech. Now that Bulgaria has found
that England will not accede to any
such extortion, it is believed that there
will be a considerable medication I
her provocative policy.
There were no qualifications to the
pledge made by Sir Edward Grey as
10 aiding the other Balkan powers in
case Bulgaria declared war.
The British and French armies
added to their gains along the front
between Rheims and the Argonne, east
of Souchez and north of Lens, but
the main objective, a break in the
German front, has not yet been &C
complished.
Reinforced by troops hurried from
the eastern front, the Germans have
Stiffened their resistance. On the
second line of trenches they place
their greatest confidence, and before
substantial advances can be won the
artillery must again pave the way.
An official communication, issued
here, says that in the heavy fighting
around -Loos the British have taken
exceptionally strong German lines Of
trenches and b~omb-proof shelters,
several hundred yards in extent. Hav-
ing taken the German second line,
the statement says. the British are
now alter the third line of trenches.
In all, more than 5000 prisoners have
been taken and twenty-one guns and
forty machine guns have been cap
tured and others destroyed.

Says Law Works Hardship.

Mayor Frank Kneedler found him
self in a ~quandary as to what action
to take in regard to a complaint from
Reeves Beck, at Phillipsburg, that
school children from the Freeman
building, nearby, congregated near his
home and annoyed him by the use of
foul language, yelling and fighting.
He asked that an officer be sent to
that locality from $3.50 to 9 a. N. and
from 1890 to 1 p. M, between which
hours Beck says the annoyance is
greatest.
The Mayor stated that the trouble
was all due to an absurd State school
law, which forbids children to enter
buildings or be or the premises con
nected with the schools more than
five minutes before the opening of the
sessions.
AS a result, he pointed out, the chill
dren are forced to play in the streets,
exposed to danger from automobiles
and other vehicles. This condition
also is responsible for the youngsters
sitting on nearby porches and playing
on private lawns, he stated.

GREECE Mobiles ARMY.


London.-Greece issued an order for
the mobilization of her naval and mill
tary forces, and, by the move,
brought the entire Balkans under
arms. Her strength on land and wa
ter is estimated at 400 900 men.
The entry of more than 1000, 900
additional troops into the world war
is now regarded as inevitable.
Rumania, although not fully mobil-
lied, is holding the greater part of
her war strength of Co., 900 men
ready for an eventuality and is push
ing military preparations with all
haste.
Reports from Sofia say that in spite
of all the denials from various sources
Bulgarian mobilization is under way
and all army classes of $50 to 1912
have been ordered to the colors.
Bulgaria's Black Sea ports, through
which she would be open to attack by
Russia by water, are being hurriedly
fortified.
An army of 10000 Italians has
been concentrated on the island of
Lemnos, in the AEGEAN Sea, about 100
miles from the Bulgarian port of
Dedegatch, a point of great startegic
Importance.
With the Black Sea in the control
of the Russians, Bulgaria would be
completely cut off from access by
water if the allies should succeed in
closing up her outlets by way of the
Aegean. Bulgaria would also be COM
pletely surrounded on land.
