Paris, March 13, $50 A. M.-The
bonn bardme nt of the Dardanelles was
resumed yesterday (Friday) morning
by French and British battleships,
says a despatch to the Matin from
Athens Seventy small mine sweepers
are reported to be continuing their
efforts to clear the mine fields under
the direction of officers representing
the British and French navies.
THE allied fleets" says the Matin

certain number Of coast batteries to

they they will enter sea of Mormora

cooperating with them also can con-
tinue their advance"
Long Range Bombardment.
Paris, March IL, 1885 P. M.-Long
range bombardment of the Darda-
nelles Notifications was resumed yts-
terday Thursday by the allied feet,
according to an Athens despatch to
the Havas Agency. No information
has been obtained as to the results Of
the operation.
The warships, the despatch says,
did not enter the straits and their
object seemed to be to prevent the
Turks by long distance fire, from re-
pairing certain forts which had been
damaged. A bridge two miles from
Chanak Kalessi of which supplies
and ammunition were transported
from the Gallipoli peninsula and re-
ported to have been destroyed.
Turkish Workmanship Improved.
Turkish craftsmanship has i'm
proved says the despatch, probably
owing to the presence Of German
gunners, but the ammunition is of
poor quality, and many of the shells
fail to explode.
AN allied squadron reinforced by
six more warships bombarded the
forts OF Smyrna which replied. The
battleship Triumph was hit but, the
damage was slight.

to increase the number of new police,
men from two to four. Official recog-

board of finance and taxation, for his
words regarding the spirit of 1awless-
ness that is shown by the gangsters.

its doors on Thursday to its Italian
congregation, and number of their

between the war methods of teach

Bible.

Congressman Hart
Talks On Sinking
Of Lusitania

Congressman A. C. Hart, of Hack
ensack, when asked what he thought
of the Lusitania disaster, made the
following statement:
GAS human beings we must suffer
mental distress when contemplating
the destruction of the lives of non
combatants. Officially, our Govern
ment may find it more difficult to
present case in this than in the
sinking of the 'Gulfight,' an Ameri-
can ship, for it is said that the Lus-
itania,' flying the flag of belliger-
ent, was armed and engaged in car
ring contraband of war in the knowl-
edge Of its passengers. The truth or
falsity of this must be influential. Yet
it is inconcevable that any nation
should purchase immunity from the
little comparative harm that contra
band could do it, at such frightful
expense.
81 believe that the Congress will
stand solidly behind our President
and that from him we may expect
deliberate direction upon an honor
able way"

Fireworks Welcome
For Sailor Boys

: AS compliment to the sailors now
on the Hudson river, the Palisades
Amusement Park management gave a
special display of fireworks last Satur-
day night. The first piece offered ap-
peared to be at first an atrial bomb,
but just as the whizzing ball of pow
der reached the dreadnaught Utah, it
burst into a beautiful American flag
about three hundred feet above the
decks of the vessel. The men on
deck responded with a lusty cheer
which was answered by the throng in
the Park who were viewing the naval
parade from the high elevation of the
aviation field of the Park. On Tues
day night another display of pyrotec-
MICS was given at which time the men
from the fleet answered the fire
works salute with a demonstration.
Manager Schenck has given the free
dom of the Park to the sailors during
their stay, and hundreds enjoyed the
privilege e.-Hackensack Record.

Mass Meeting Tonight
In Guild Hall

A Mass Meeting is to be held this
evening, Saturday, May Is, at 8
O'Clock, in Grantwood, in the Guild
Hall Of the Trinity Episcopal Church,
on Oakdene and Palisade avenues,
about ten blocks south of the Palisade
Junction. All are cordially invited
who are interested in five-cent fare
between the Weehawken and Fort
Lee ferries, and between the Weekaw-
ken ferry and Coytesville.
The meeting is called by the Mems
Club, Of Grantwood, to line up forces
for the hearing to be held before the
State Public Service Commission Fri
day, May 21, at 1890 a. M, sharp,
in the Chancery Chambers, at rs
Montgomery street, Jersey City, on
the petition of the Grantwood club
for a five-cent fare between the Wee
hawken and Fort Lee ferries.
All north of Grantwood, men and
women, who are interested, should at
tend the meeting this Saturday even
ing. and also the hearing before the
State Commission, as your presence
will be a great help to the Grantwood
people, who, in fighting for their
five-cent fare will be fighting for our
five-cent fare, as most likely five
cent fare between the ferries will au-
tomatically carry through fve-cent
fare of Coytesville.
Now let the Fort Lee, Palisade, and
Coytesville people pack the Guild Hall
in Grantwood tonight, and then, the
Chancery Chambers in Jersey City,

Mr.. George N Venables, Grant
wood, Phone Cliffside 402-W, is the

New York City, has very recently
taken favorable steps, on its part,
towards the reduction.

Young Couple On Boat
Looked Like They
Married Too Soon

A very pretty but painfully vain
Young mother who looked to be about
twenty, crossed over the ferry last
Tuesday en- route to the Amusement
Park. She was accompanied by her
older sister, evidently, by the re-
semblance between them, and her
three-year- daughter and a long,
lean and lanky husband. The latter
looked absolutely listless, with his
trousers six inches above his shoe
tops, and straw lid on. His face
was inane, and he looked bored to
death with the kid along. He was
evidently an early-married youngster
who wished -he-hadn't, and showed by
his gum chewing in public that he
did not belong to an ultra set. But
his wife. She was little dream, q
bunch of frills and insipid, as well
as audacious vanity. When she had
pushed the little girl to one side she
opened large hand bag and pulled
out small hand mirror, and holding
it about eighteen inches away from
her eyes, began to primp to beat the
band. First she toycd with her front
bangs, then put the mirror back in
the bag. Then she looked around,
and not noticing anyone looking, she
fuzzie-wuzzied with her front locks,
patting them, pushing them into posi-
ton, straip htening her hat, feeling of
her back hair etc. She then put the
mirror back, took it out again, look
ed at her bangs, touched them half a
dozen times, and once more returned
the mirror back to it's bag. Pas
sengers " ho watched the performance
couldn't help laughing as the party
passed out of the cabin when she was
landing, and the young husband look
ed bored to death as he took the
kiddied and mosied out to the car.

from business, started Immediately
with the child for the Eye and Ear
Hospital, New York. There the child
was given all the relief possible; but
the eye is hopelessly lost.
On Thursday of this week the child
was taken from the hospital to the
home of Mr.. Jensen's parents in New
York. From there they will be able
to visit the hospital with the child
frequently.
Should not something drastic be
done to make the recurrence of such
lamentable happenings much less
likely? 1t is to be hoped that some
reparation will be provided by the
persons morally responsible for this
sad affair.

Boy Malefactors
Receive judgement

On Tuesday of last week the band
of Italian youths who have been COM
mitting depradations on Fairview and
lower Cliffside Park property were
taken before Judge Pratt in Hacken-
sack. AS the result of the hearing,
the boys were fined $5 each and put
on three months probation. Three
of the boys paid their fine. The others
were given another week in which to
settle.
Much credit is due to Mr.. Anton
Bohm, to Recorder Schulz and to Of
ficer Hammond for their skillful
handling of the case.

Regular Meeting

Tuesday, May II, Hose Co. No. 4,
of the Fort Lee Fire Department., met
at the Palisade School House in regu-
lar session. A. l.. Ruehmann, the
treasurer, gave very encouraging
financial report showing the finances
OF the company to be in first rate
condition.
The resignation of Mr.. Herman
Stumpf as foreman was read and ac-
cepted with regrets. Mr.. Stumpf is
now residing in Brooklyn and will be
unable to fill his position. His letter
was full Of praise and good words for
the boys of Co. No. 4. Mr.. William
Beckmann, first assistant foreman,
was elected unanimously to the vacant
position. Mr.. J. S. Stuart was also
elected to the office of first assistant
foreman.
The name of Mr.. J. H. Bradshaw
was proposed for membership and
laid on the table until next meeting.
Mr.. G. N. Bell was unanimously
elected to the company.
Mr.. William Beckmann was in
structed to make application for a
Siamese hose coupling to the borough
authorities and also such other
articles deemed necessary to procure.
The feature of the meeting was the
Secretary Seger for non-appearance
on the Sunday when the house was
moved from Palisade avenue to Bluff
road, just back of the George E.
Quigley home. Lots of men did not
show up on that occasion and if the
excuses are not acted upon favor
ably the company ought to get quite
a neat little sum in fines.
