SPEED REGULATION CONTRO-
VERSY

Just another word concerning
the article of last week on the
Auto Speed Regulation as passed
by Council and enforced by the
officer in charge.
The article, as usual when any
straightforward crit CT S m ap-
pears in print, has been the sub
ject of considerable comment
both reasonable and unreason-
able. A good portion of the talk
has centered in wholesale con-
domination Of The Post, rather
than consideration of the merits
of the criticism. There has been
no pretense of defense Of the or
dinance as handed out to the
travelling public. We should be
very glad indeed to print con-
tradiction to the accusation, and
give publicity to any argument Of
fcials may have in defense of the
town.
The facts are these, known
generally throughout the town.
that many arrests have been
made which were grossly unfair.
The officer in charge cannot be
held accountable. He is simply
following instructions of Council
Again, the accusation is made
that very great majority Of ar
rests are foreign cars. "Another
500 for Newark" "a laughing
comment at recent arrest, is a
standing joke.
Still again, these accusations
as reported last week, are from
citizens as law abiding and repu-
table as those who live in New
ark. T h cir prominence adds
nothing to the merit or truth of
the accusation, but it is sufficient
for US to take notice of it.
Heretofore, we have not held
Council responsible for this. But
now we think some expression is
due from them, in answer tC
these reports. We have brought
these reports to the attention Of
Newark in order to prevent, i
possible, the town being so gross

On Saturday, May 20, the Troop
liked to Crows Hill under the
leadership of Scoutmaster Tarr.
The vicinity of Crows Hill is not
ed for it's wildness and beauty,
being covered with large pine
woods in which grow lady-slip-
pers, snowy orchids and other
rare flowers.
We camped on the banks of
Middle Run in a pretty valley be-
tween two series of wooded hill
sides. Mr.. Tarr thought it fine
country for real practical scout
ing. He, therefore, picked out
two parties, one to attack the
camp, and one to defend it. The
attackers were given a one-half
hours start and instructed to
push back into the hills as far as
possible in the half-hour. Then
they were to move toward camp,
trying to reach it without being
seen by the defenders, who were
required to be always advancing
and not spying on the camp. The
contest lasted about an hour.
Senior Patrol Leader Evans and
Scout Bayard Lindell caught two
attackers. The rest reached
camp safely.

lnglOn.
Squire Lovett in speaking of
the matter says he thinks the of
ficer should be given more discre-
ton and that he has urged
Council to so instruct him. Suffice
to say that Newark is the subject
of very unfavorable comment by
men who observe the law just as
much as we do. The Post has,
rightfully we think, brought it to
the attention of our citizens. That
we should have kept quiet is not
our version of civic duty. If the
accusation is false, in the name
of the town, let's defend our
selves. If true, let's remedy the
trouble.
The sentiment of Newark for
reason, fair play, and courtesy
has been very seriously question
ed by reputable and very serious
people.
Whether rightly so is the is
sue.
No one wishes Main street tc
become a speedway, nor is this
any plea for such. Reasonable
safety, public courtesy, fair play
is the true sentiment of the COM
munity and we want the travelling
public to so consider it.

that Secretary Lansing would inform

however. IS Gen. Pershing has reported
only when he had definite and impor-
tant information to communicate. Re
ports from other comma nders in the
field gave no new status to the pursuit
of Villa and his bandits.
AS time passes without official in
formation of the parral fighting from
American sources officials are inclined
to doubt that the clash was as serious
as described in early Mexican advices.

American force was in any serious
plight, since the commander might

Think Parral Is Passed,

Some army officials thought it prob

business of pursuing Villa. headed for
its original destination beyond the
town;
Publication in Mexico City of the
terms the Carranza government seeks
to impose limiting any reciprocal
troops movements across the interna

diplomatic tans1e which preceded Gen.
CarranZa's suggestion that the Amer
lean troops be recalled from Mexico
Secretary Lansing declined to discuss
the matter. At the time the de facto
government suggested that no expedi-
tionary force should exceed 1000 cav
alrymen and not cross dead line
there were several thousand America n
troops of all arms in Mexico, and they
