ANOTHER TERN.

The city executive committee mas
called the primary for November 9th
at which time mayor, together with
several other officials, will be nomi-
mated to run in the general election
with the primary being tantamount to
all election.
The Times Recorder, under its pres
ent policy, has seen fit to remain aloof
from politics, only where it conceives
a principle or a matter vitality affecting
the prosperity, security and safety of
the people, in city, county state and
nation. The Times-Recorder has no
axe to grind" and merely performs its
duty as a newspaper with the best In
terests and the heart of the people at
stake.
1t is well known to the people of
Americas that the financial affairs of
the city are not in the best of condi-
ton, brought on by expenditures not
in keeping with the revenue. This has
added debt after debt to the city's
credit through long term of years,
rot being directly attributable to any
administration more than another, but
certainly less to the present admins
tration. The present officials have
kept the city's head above water,
and with their present policies of econ
omy, multiplied by more acts toward
further retrenchment, the Times-Re-
corder believes that the sun viii grad
ually rise in financial ascendency
over the horizon
Believing these things and having
faith in the will of the people to do
what they think is right and best under
The circumstances, the Times Recorder
unhesitatingly and publicly urges
Hon. Lee G. Council to stand again as
4 candidate for mayor of the city OF
Americus. His ability as a more than
and successful business man
S easily conceded. His honesty and
Intentions towards right are unques-
Toned. His loyalty to the city and its
affairs during the past two
ears, is undeniable. His capacity to
serve the city in this high office is
without argument
The es-Recorder wants the peo-
pie of Americas to forsake the diff
'erenoes of the past; bury all factions
and unite towards building a grander
md more glorious city. Let accom-
)lishments, record and service speak; |
Tot the petty iealousies and differences
If disagreements work against the
of our city.
Regardless of who is selected as
mayor of our city for two more years,
he Times-R Recorder pledges its unqual-
fed support to all acts which it deems |
o the best interests of the city, and
assures the people that it stands ready |
o acquaint them with all things which |
t does not believe are in their in
crest.
With a study of the city's affairs
more than the ordinary citizen, the
Times-Recorder believes it performs a
luty and service for our people when
It requests that Mayor Council be re-

CITY COMPLETES
HOSPITAL PLANS
Kingsbury Ready to Dou-
BILE Capacity of Randall's
Island Institution.

John A. Kingsbury, Commissioner OF
the Department of Public Charities,
has completed the plans for the i'm
provement of the much criticised Chii-
dren's Hospital and School on RandalIs
Island. Plans have also been COM
pleted for the doubling Of the capacity
of Sea View Hospital for tuberculosis
patients. The Board of Estimate some
time ago appropriated 100000 for the
Randall's Island institution which
houses the mentally deficient, and $780,
600 for the Sea View Hospital, and it
only remains for the board to approve
the plans for work to begin.
The Commissioners plans for the
Children's Hospital and School provide
for the construction of two large in
frmaries, in which will be housed all
the crippled and those unable to care
for themselves; two cottages for the
inmates of higher grade of mental
DEVELOPMENT, dormitory for the
nurses, Investigators and teachers, and
a house for the medical staff. These
new buildings will take the place of the
antiouated and unsanitary structures
which now make up the plant.
Some of the buildings in which pa
tients are housed at the present time
were constructed in 1848 and others
were built before 1860.
They have thin brick walls, with
small windows and damp, unyentilated
Easements, wooden floor beams and
wooden floors. The wood of the floors,
as result of daily scrubbings for
generations, is decayed. offensive and
unsanitary. The pipes for the heating
and plumbing are worn out and beyond
repair. .
The old pipes and the condition Of
the floors create an almost incredibly
unsanitary condition, particularly IN
the toilets and bathrooms. DR.. Walter
T.. Fernald. superintendent of the
Massachusetts, School for Feeble
minded, who was employed by Com
missioner Kingsbury as consulting ex-
pert in the renovation of the Randalls
island plant. described the conditions
of the buildings as "a fire risk with
danger to helpless human life that is
almost incredible"
At Sea View Hospital the problem is
different. This hospital was opened FOR
patients in 1918, with a capacity OF
1000 beds. II is composed of unusu-
ally costly pavilions constructed pri-
marily for BED patients, for which the
construction cost per bed was almost
$4,000. The plant has been altogether
too expensive for "up patients" or
those not bedridden, who have largely
occupied the pavilions.
The new plans contemplate doubling
the capacity of the hospital, that it may
be possible to give immediate care to
the large number of tuberculosis pa
tients who are now obliged to wait,
sometimes for weeks, before vacancy
can be found.

War Game Proves Enemy
Can Land Near New York

Newport, R. l., Aug. 27.-"The results
of the war game just completed by the
United States Navy prove that, given
fairly favorable weather conditions, an
attacking feet has an excellent chance
of being able to land troops within
twenty miles of New York City," Rear
Admiral Austin NJ. Knight declared to-
night. Nothing of this sort would
have been possible" he added, IF the
defending Blue feet had had an EN-
cient scouting force, which was lacking
in this particular problem"
Rear Admiral Knight, who was UNI
pire in the navy's most important war
game, which ended yesterday in the
virtual humiliation of the BLUE" or
defending feet, arrived tonight on the
battleship Pennsylvania at the head OF
the victorious "Red" fleet, which repre-
scented an invading enemy.
Throughout the weeks man9uvres,
the rear admiral said, the weather was
misty, with a visibility rarely exceed
ing three or four miles. Conditions of
this sort were characteristic of the At
lantic Coast at this time of year and
should be reckoned with in future
plans of naval strategy.
The "Red" fleet will be joined here
tomorrow by the BLUE" fleet, which
was believed to have anchored OFF

BY HAYWOOD BRoUN.

In the first act Of "a Little Bit Of
Fluff" the short comedian, who had
an extravagant wife. said: 81 don't
believe woman was the rib of man;
she must have been the expendix." In
the second act the same man toyed
with the tonal resemblance of "cold
sweats" and "cold Schwcpps." In the
third act the tall comedian disguised
himself as a woman. "A Little Bit of
Fluff" is always silly, rarely amusing,
and not infrequently vulgar. II is a
sort Of Keystone comedy with words.
The play concerns the misadvent-
ures Of man who takes a night of
and tries to lie out OF it. Palpitating
doors, false mustaches. pajamas and
broken waterpipes follow. The char
acter round whom most of the compli-
cations entwine is a middle-aged man
who is more spinster than bachelor.
Charles Garry, who plays this part, is
amusing at times.
II farce is not funny as a rule it
is not worth discussion. but "a Little
Bit OF Fluff" may not be dismissed
quite so briefly. Whatever our opin-
ion Of the piece may be. the fact re-
mains that it ran 400 nights in Lon
don. The play is interesting, there
fore, as study in war psychology of
tho English. London audiences these
days are largely made up of men and
officers back on furlough from the
trenches. II is not surprising. per-
haps, that an ear which has vibrated

remain passive while Miss Margot

In the case of munition and other

$4,000 COMMEMORATE
LONG ISLAND BATTLE
Prospect Park Gathering Hears
Story of Revolutionary Fight.


In commemoration Of the 14Oth an
niversary Of the Battle Of Long Island,
about $4,000 people gathered in Pros
pect Park yesterday, the scene of the
hottest part Of the fighting, and list
ened to speeches by Comptroller Will
lam A. Prendergsst, Park Commission
or Raymond V. Ingersoll. Of Brooklyn;
Charles A. Ditmar, president of the
Kings County Historical Society, and
Arthur N. Howe.
Under the bombardment of a brisk
thundershower the audience retreated
more precipitately than did their fore
fathers before the British, but rallied
again when the rain was over. A spe-
cial march was written for the occasion
by Giovanni Conterno, whose band fur
nished the music.
The British landed at Gravesend,
August %, l776, and the battle began
five days later. CORVALLIS had 10000
troops and was opposed by about 5000
Americans. The Americans were out
Aanked in the vicinity of East New
York, and their works on Brooklyn
Heights fell into the hands of the Brit
ish, paving the way for the capture of
New York.
Although victorious on the field, the
British failed to push their advantage,
and, thanks to the firm stand and good
craftsmanship of the Maryland troops,
Sullivan and Putnam, the American
commanders, were able to withdraw
their forces.
Casualties among the American
troops were estimated at $40 officers
and men, and among the British, 400.

NEW NEGRO REGIMENT
PARADES BEFORE 5000

WOMEN TO QUIZ
N. Y. CANDIDATES
Suffrage Views of Nc.
Combs, Calder and
Bacon Sought.

Every candidate for Office in New
York State is to be corralled by the
New York Woman Suffrage party and
made to tell his position on the woman
suffrage question. Requests have been
sent by the women for interviews, and
if these are refused the women are
determined TO- reach each candidate in
some other way.
As plank indorsing votes for women
is in all the national platforms this
year, and is also a part Of the state
Democratic platform, the sutfragists
wish to know what they may expect
from the candidates. Judge Seabury
more than one year ago announced his
suffrage sentiments and has now reiter-
ated them.
81 am for it without any reserva-
tion," is his last answer.
Some time this week Robert Bacon
and William NJ. Calder, Republican
candidates for United States Senator,
and William F. McCombs, Democratic
candidate for the Senate, will be Wis
tied by a delegation of sufragists. Il
is the hope of the suffrage leaders that
all three candidates will follow the
lead of the Presidential nominees and
come out for the enfranchisement Of
women.
Automobiles were the object Of
special attention from the New York
City Woman Suffrage party on Satur-
day. At every ferry, bridge and thor
oughfare entering the city the suffra-
gists presented the riders with fans,
drinking cups and leaflet with the
significant title "A Word to Speeders."
asking the automobiles if they rode
on the "car of progress" toward woman
suffrage.
