Beyond the Narrows, in Gravesend
bay in what has been designated by
the harbor authorities as the loading
ground for explosives, several ships
are taking on dynamite, tri-nitro-
toluol or some other form of high ex-
plosive in quantities sufficient to
make you shudder at the mere thought
of what might happen if one of the
boxes carelessly swung from the light
er alongside should slip from the
block and tackle and fall TO the deck.
All barges carrying explosives are
required by the municipal ordinance
to fly two large red flags, one at the
bow and one at the stern, and at
night to display two red lanterns.
City in Danger From Explosives.
Most of them paid little heed to the
regulation. They were travelling up
and down the harbor. each with
enough picric acid or other high ex-
plosive to raze the city, with no red
flag flying or other indication of the
dangerous cargo they were transport
ing The attention of the neutrality
squad" was called by Mr.. Malone to
this carelessness.
The customs guards are also forced
to keep rigid watch to see that no
explosives are loaded on passenger
ships. 1t is likewise part of their
duty, under the law, to prevent ship
pers from loading goods under false
classification.
In enforcing neutrality Mr.. Malone
has not lost sight of the fact that
the motive of patriotism which impels
all aliens in the United States to
want to be of utmost service to their
respective countries is perfectly I'M
derstandable. but it has been his con.
slant purpose to compel the repre-
sentatives Of all nations to realize
that they can only serve the cause
of their governments by keeping
within the limits and prohibitions of
our neutrality laws

LEAGUE FOR DAY
NURSERY FORMS
Child Rescue League Of Clarks.
burg is Organized with Mrs.
Bland as President.

Citizens Of Clarksburg. who have
long felt the need Of some institution
IN the city for the care Of small chill
dren, Will be glad to learn that such
an institution. known as the Child
Rescue League Of Clarksburg. has at
last been organized.
The aim Of this league Is to provide
care and shelter for children, especial
II those under three or four years OF
age, whose mothers are forced 70 work
out by the day, often being obliged TO
leave their little ones ut home, alone
and uncared for, during eight or ten
hours. The many disastrous results
Of such q practice are only too Well
known. This, It 10 hoped 70 be able
to change and IN this respect bring
ClarlEsburg up to the standard Of Park
erSburg, Wheeling. Fairmont and other
West virginia cities that have long
had day nurseries and child welfare
societies, by providing place where
just such mothers may safely leave
their children during the day. The
plan also includes provision for board
ing children by the week. or month, In
cases where It seems necessary.
The league has been able to obtain
a suitable building and the services
Of a competent woman to care for the
children. A small sum has been raised
TO defrny the initial cost, and some
financial support has been promised
By the county. But the promoters feel
thnt they need the good viii and sup
port Of the public. and. therefore, put
the aim and plans before the public
for consideration. They would bo glad
to receive any ideas or suggestions, a.
wen % material aid from those who
are Interested IN tho work. Many
things viii be needed IN the way Of
furnishings such as small chairs,
tables, beds, toys and the like. All
who have any such OutgroWn articles
OF furniture, which they would IKE TO
contribute. should communicate with
Mrs. Ross F. Stout. At tbe SheriR's
residence.
The odicers and board Of directors
Of this association consist OF MS.
George W. Bland. president; Miss RE-
boeca L Ruhl. secretary: ArB. F. g
DevericlIs. treasurer; Mrs. Ross =.
Stout, Mrs. Frank Reynolds, G. p
Prunty and John Sopher. To all who
wish 70 ask, any Of these directors
will give further details about the
association, and It is hoped there win
be many who are sufficiently Interested
to inquire.
Il Is believed that there Is q large
opportunity for service here, thGt day
nursery has been long and urgently
needed, and It Is the earnest desire
to have the hearty and sympathetic
cooperation Of the citizens Of Clarls-
burg With the work Of this ass0cia-
tion IN its effort to help. care and pro
vide for the children Of the community
