dependently from time TO time. Is
usually found on the side OF the gov
ernment, which he has been credited
with saving In more than one crisis.
There are two reasons for the reso-
luton, which asks that during the war
the council be composed only OF the
Ministers Of Foreign Affairs. Finance.
War, Marine and Interior. while the
other ministers give place TO a new or
ganization under the direction Of the
council.
In the first place, it aims TO avoid
the calling of a national assembly, as
advocated in some quarters. for the
ministries, having been constituted by
legislative power. can be revised only
by the same power; second, 70 avoid
the formation OF two governments, one
superimposed on the other. by the con-
stitution of a council of war superior
TO the Ministry.

The police Of Kearny, y. j., and tho
doctors Of Stumpf Memorial Hospital
have puzzle on their hands in an
unidentified man who cannot or will

efforts 70 learn his name, he main
tains silence.
The nan, about forty years old, was
dragged from railroad track at Sand
ford Crossing, on the Newark turn
pike at Kesrny. Saturday night, as an
express was bearing down on him at
sixty miles an hour. Patrick Collins,
gateman, had just lowered the gates,

reached him just la time TO save him.

small cross wrapped in tape. He
