nant of a Carranzista army that fled
from chihuahua City after a battle
with the Villa troops is in camp on
the plains south of JuareZ. The
troops brought with them the story
of the evacuation of the city after
four days and nights of fighting. The
dead were piled high in the streets
when they left and had been covered
with oil and burned, they said.
More than 100 wounded soldiers Of
the Carranza command were brought
here The hospitals here are filled
with wounded and volunteer nurses
are working to care for the officers
and men who fell in the battle.
1t is said that Villas victory at
Chihuahua City was complete. Re-
ports indicate that Carranzista Off
GERS deserted their men while they
fought on the street and that the re-
treat was without leadership. Gen.
eral Trevino escaped and is reported
to be in hiding.
Villa, it is said, led the attack on
the city in person.
Officials in this city fear that an
attack will be made here.
Denver, Colo, Dec. 1.-Villa will
take JuareZ within week and this
will be a signal for war between
Villa and the United States, accord
ing to Major Williams of the Colo
RADIO National guard who returned
from the border today. He stated
that United States authorities were
prepared to attack Villa when Juarez
is captured.
Washington, Dec. 1.-The war de-
partment today officially stated that
the original orders to General PERISH
ing to "get Villa" still stands. How
ever, conditions are so altered that
the troops will await fresh orders be-
fore making any move. If such an
opportunity as Villa occupying Juarez
presents itself, the Americans will
strike. Experts think that Villa is
too crafty to start for JuareZ, within
so miles of General Pershing.
dSuluS SLOu, DeC. 1-1 ue Ou1CCu
Press today learned that firmer
policy toward Mexico is planned if
Carranza fails to deal adequately
with the present vexing problems.
Such policYwill be announced soon
if Carranza is unable to cope with
the rising situation.
Ell Paso, Dec. t. 1.-Thursday, after
capturing Chihuahua City, Villa be-
gan slaughtering Chinese residents of
the city, Four refugees told this to
the United States authorities when
they arrived in this city this after
noon. Little hope is entertained for
the safety of the Americans known
to have been in Chihuahua City.

Reu. Mr.. Barsam
To Leaue Palisade

Rev. Mr.. Barsam, who has been
serving the Palisade Union Church
for the past year has decided to leave
the pastorate on account of insult
ficient salary. He preached a very
able farewell sermon last Sunday
morning. Mr.. Barsam is a young
minister of marked abilities, and un-
questionably has a bright future. His
salary in Palisade was $1,000 year,
which is considered high for the small
size of the congregation. He and his
charming young wife have made
many friends in Palisade who hesitate
to give them up, and whose best
wishes will follow their fortunes If
their chosen work. Mr.. and Mrs.
Barsam are both taking special
courses at Union Theological Semin-
airy, New York.

Reu. Hayes Chosen
New Minister For

At a meeting of the members of
the Palisade Union Church on Tues
day evening, new minister was
chosen for the coming year, beginning
September /, to take the place OF the
Rev. Mr.. ,Barsam, who recently re-
signed.

lar. He is still student of the
Union Theological Seminary, with
two years ahead of him there. He
has been heard once in Palisade when

energetic and ambitious. The peo-
pie of his charge at Creskill were not
altogether willing to give him up
Mr.. Hayes will be closer to his Union

Mrs. Donaldson's
Lecture Last Sunday

Mrs. Prof. George Donaldson, of
Grantwood, favored another Palisade
audience last Sunday evening at the
Union Church, with lecture on the
people of Eastern Turkey, in Asia
Minor. The lecture was greatly en-
HANGED by several score of lantern
slides, mostly in color, and the
Young Peoples Society enjoyed the
evening greatly.
Mrs. Donaldson is an easy, fluent
talker, and makes her world-travel
lecture worth while, since she has
travelled over all the lands she lee
lures about. She explained thai
everyone born in Turkey is not a
Turk, meaning, of course, a believer
in the Turkish religious faith. She
told story of little girl who was
born in Turkey, and who, on being
chided about it, denied she was a
Turk and asked, "If you were born in
a stable would that make you a
calf?"
"The children of the World" was
to have been the subject of this lee
ture, but the slides could not be
obtained, so the Eastern Turkey sub.
ject was substituted. Mrs. Donald
son is greatly appreciated in the en-
tire Hilltop section, where her labors
for the uplift of mankind are so well
known. She is a jealous, tireless
worker, and a woman of remarkable
abilities.

School Work OF Many
Hundreds Exhibited

The work of the school children OF
Cliffside Park for the year just closed
was exhibited in Grantwood school on
Friday afternoon and evening and
Sunday afternoon, June % and rs.
The big auditorium and stage and a
large class room were needed for the
displaying of the large amount of the
young peoples handicraft. On the
stage were exhibited the admirable
examples of woodwork done by the
boys in the department of manual
training. Book racks, tables, settles
were exhibited which could not be dis
tinguished from the furniture of the
shops. This work was highly compli-
mented by the Hon. Lewis H. Carriss,
assistant Commissioner of Education
of New Jersey, who was present on
Friday afternoon; he said that Cliff
side Parks work was number T.
among the schools of the State.
The main floor exhibit was ar
ranged by converting the side arcades
and columns into booths, and across
the length of the hall three main
aisles were made by erecting long
racks on which specimens of the chill
dress work were shown. The west
,rhe all was given up to tbs
Work of Brentwood school and the
east side to the Cliffside school and
kindergarten. The bright color work,
paper and cloth, of the latter was dis
played on the large entrance wall. A
special exhibit of the years work in
drawing under Miss Gisetta Yale was
shown in separate large class room.
The exhibit as whole both Grant
wood and Cliffside, was very impress
sive, and included every range of
hand and brain work from the little
color pictures and objects of the bor-
ough's tiniest students;, the neatly
hung examples of class work compo-
sition and arithmetic, hand and loom
made cloth and weaving; clever ex-
amples of basketry, and really adj
mirable examples of needle work and
dress making, up to the more dis
tinctly artistic work of the drawing,
painting and stencilling classes.
The exhibition was remarkably
we'll attended by residents and pupils
from all sections of the borough, and
great satisfaction was expressed on
every side with the results of the en-
deavors of the children and teachers
and. school board as embodied in the
exhibition. The exhibition, too, gave
an opportunity for the children, them
selves, to learn what was being done
by the children of the other classes,
the meeting of the residents and the
teaching staff and officials, and the
public and it's school board. The ex-
hibition marked step in advance in
the borough's educational progress
and development, and gave promise
of still further advance and improve
ment in the future.
