PLEASANTVILLE BOYS
HOME FROM POWDER TOWN

Among the ~Pleasantville boys who
are employed at Penns Grove and who
were home Sunday, Monday and Tues
day last were noticed:
Daniel Foster, an assistant fore
man in the DUPONT plant; Dave May,
a former A. C. H. S. student and Plea
santville booster, now a clerk in the
Penns Grove postoffice. This office
was just raised to a second class Of
fee and he was one of six lucky ones
to be appointed by Uncle Sam; Ray
mond Hilton, a we'll known violin
player of our town, now doing con
tractor work on a large basis; Paul
Brady, another one of our bright
young men, now a foreman in the
gun cotton division of the dupont
plant. These fellows are all making
good and in time to come will make
a record for themselves that will cause
Pleasantville to be proud of them.

Finds Wilson to Be True Friend Of
Man at the Bench,

To the Editor of the Herald:
hearing that there was going to
be big rally by the republican labor
party last night, I made it my business
to go out and have look was
very much disappointed to find that
the man at the bench was not repre-
sented although there were many
empty seats in the sixty-one automo-
biIes.
1t looks to me as If the so-called
labor rally of the republican party
is composed of simply the wealth of
New Britain. those who don't care a.
fig for the working man except at
election time when they will fall all
over him for his vote. But as soon
as the election is over he can take
a back seat and his dinner pail will
remain Just the same as it was be-
fore, promises are like pie-crusts,
easily broken.
Now, Mr.. Editor, I have never put
down my name for any particular
and am at liberty to cast my vote
for whom I please. This Is the priv
ilege of an American citizen; but after
a careful study of the career of both
Wilson and Hughes. I find that Will
son is the true friend of the work.

to keep hands off and refrain from
criticism of the President while he
is dealing with the new situation. If
the President is forced to act one way
or another before November it is
to be expected that Candidate Hughes
will try to make all the capital out
of such action as can possibly be
gained. That is the partisan political
game. 1t is done in the best political
families. 1t is to be deplored that
such is the case, but human nature
has not changed much in this year
Of our Lord even though the, world
has turned topsy-turvy. The true
American, however, will put his trust
in the man who has guided the ship
of state thus far through the perilous
waters. The many rocks that jutted
above the surface or were hidden just
beneath have been passed, thanks to
the clear head and the steady hand
of Woodrow Wilson. Americans, of
whatever political faith, will grant
him this much, and hope that no i'm
pediment is thrust in his way from
now on.

AMERICAS REPLY
ON SUBMARINES
Lansing'S Rejection Of Demands
by Entente Allies

Washington, Oct 1.-THE text Of
the American memorandum to the
Entente powers replying to their sug-
gestion that belligerent submarines
sould be excluded from neutral wa
ters is as follows:
Washington, Aug. 81, 1916
Memorandum.
The Government Of the United
States has received the identic memo
randa of the Governments of France,
Great Britain, Russia and Japan in
which neutral governments are ex-
horted "to take ef1icacious measures
tending to prevent be1ligerent sub
marines, regardless Of their use, to
avail themselves of neutral waters,
1oadsteads, and harbors'' These gov
ernments point out the facility
possessed by such craft to avoid su-
pervision or surveillance or determi-
nation of their national character and
their power Ito do injury that is in
herent in their very nature" as we'll
as the Traditional facilities" afforded
by having at their disposal places
where they can rest and replenish
their supplies. Apparently on these
grounds, the allied governments hold
that submarine vessels must be ex-
Guided from the benefit of the rules
heretofore accepted under interna l.
tlonal law regarding the admission
and sojOurn of war and merchant
vessels in neutral waters, roadsteads
or harbOrs; any submarine of a belli-
gerent that once enters a neutral
harbor must be held there" and
therefore the allied government
warn neutral powers of the great
danger to neutral submarines attend
ing the navigation Of waters visited
by the submarines of belligerents.'

Tn reply the Government Of the
United States must express its sur
rrise that there appears to be an en-
Geavor of the allied powers to de-
ternine the rule of action governing
what they regard as novel situa-
ton" in respect to the use Of sub
marines in time of war, and to en-
force a compliance Of that rule, at
least in part, by warning neutral
lowers Of the great danger to their
submarines in waters that may be
visited by belligerent submarines. In
the opinion of the Government Of the
United States, the allied powers have
not set forth any circumstance, nor
is the Government Of the United
States at present aware Of any cir
cum stances concerning the use Of
war or merchant submarines which
would render the existing rules of
international law inapplicable to
them. In view of this fact and of the
rotice and warning of the allied
lowers announced in their memoran-
ca under acknowledged it Is incum-
bet upon the Government of the
United States to notify the Govern
ments of France, Great Britain, Rus
STA, and Japan that, SO far as the
treatment Of either war or merchant
submarines in American waters is
concerned, the Government of the
United States reserves its liberty of
action in all respects and will treat
such vessels as, in it's opinion, be-
comes the action of a power which
may be said to have taken the first
steps toward establishing the prin-
ciples Of neutrality, and which for
over a century has maintained those
principles in the traditional spirit and
with the high sense of impartiality in
which they were conceived
In order however, that there should
lie no misunderstanding as to the at
