The True Situation as 10 Free
Bridges.

Several reports concerning the ac-
ton of the Free Bridge Commission
have appeared in the daily papers
which have been more or less mac
curate. The new member of the
Commission from Lambertville is
authority for the statement that
tentative offers were made for the
purchase of the Morrisville and
Trenton bridge and the bridge at
Point Pleasant. The prices were
slightly under the amount for which
owners had offered to sell, The
owners of three bridges, Calhoun
Street, (Trenton), Lambertville and
Phillipsburg, have not fixed any
selling price. There is some differ
ence of opinion with regard to the
powers of the Commission and meth
cd of procedure to condemn bridge S
where the States and owners fail to
agree upon a price, but it is believed
this difference can be harmonized
without further legislation and the
matter is under consideration.
For local information it can be
said that the Lambertvile-New Hope
bridge is considered one of the i'm
portant links in connecting the Penn
sylvania and New Jersey Good Road
Systems.
1t may be a mere coincidence but
the Bridge Commission has certainly
gotten busy very soon after the APP
pointment of its new member, and
we are certainly under obligation to
Walter F. Hayhurst for information
as to what the commission is doing.

Nu STAMP Talk

If every person in the United
States were to purchase n war thrift
stamp at 25 cents, Uncfe Sam would
have twenty-five millions of dollars
with which to fight the war for lib
erty and democracy.
If every man, woman and child in
this county were to make up their
minds to do their bit in subscribing
to the loans the government now
needs, the two billions provided for
in the war stamp act would be forth
coming in less time than 1t takes to
tell it.
If every one could realize what
this means to the government and
the boys at the front the success OF
this new project of the government
would be assured and the 1913 issue
of stamps would be exhausted before
all who desired to subscribe would
have had an opportunity.
Here is what you give:
S4.12 for a war savings certificate

airy, 1918. Each month thereafter
you pay one cent more for these

PRETTY BABY
MAKES Big HIT
Musical Comedy at Majestic
Wins Favor of Large
Audience

For the first time in many weeks
musical attraction is presented as
the vaudeville program at the Ma
1estic Theater for the first half of this
Pretty Baby" with Jean Tynes, Ollie
and Jimmie Hodges as the stars, and
showed their appreciation of the pro-
duction by generous applause.
The work of the comedians was eN-
ceptionally good, Jimmie Hodges and
Elmer Coudy furnishing much of The
fun by the usual array of jokes, some
of them old, but many more that are
original. As there is only a light
story arranged for the production the
comedians have a fine opportunity to
entertain and make a big hit.
The novelty and originality of some
of the musical offerings aroused a re-
sponsive feeling in the audience and
brought much praise>for the company.
A few in the chorus seemed to lack
any interest or enthusiasm in the
parts and almost spoiled one or two
of the fine dance numbers. The spirit
helped to overcome this to a large
extent.
The last scene of the first act was
conceded to be one of the best of its
kind attempted in vaudeville. Fre-
quently patriotic displays are given,
but so far none has equaled the origi-
nal one in Pretty Baby" The cos
tunes of the chorus and the imper-
SOndJlOnS were me, "nlle Ine SCENIC
arrangement. particularly at the clos
ing of the scene when the entire COM
pany sang over There" was unusu-
ally attractive.
Announcement was made by Jim
mie Hodges that on Friday morning,
at the Majestic Theater, there will be
given a benefit performance for the
Red Cross, all proceeds to be given to
that organization. The vaudeville
program for the last half OF the week
will be given in Harrisburg. Pretty

Joliet, Ills, Dec. 4. - Seven of
the thirteen convicts who escaped
from the state penitentiary here yes
terday morning, were captured early
to-day by three posses near Morris,
in a box car on the Chicago, Rock
Island and Pacific Railroad. The
other six are surrounded and their
capture is expected shortly. The
captured convicts offered no resist

The three posses were organized
late last night after the convicts had
stopped a Chicago, Ottawa and
Peoria interurban car, robbed the
passengers of everything they had
including most of their clothes and
had driven the car to Morris, Ills,
where they abandoned it. Reports
from Morris stated the passengers
from the interurban car reached

in Cambria Drive, Report

Washington, Dec. 4.-High tribute
to the gallant conduct of the Amer
lean Army engineers in France who
were caught in the German encircl-
ing attack on the British lines, near
Cambria, is paid in an official COM
munication from the French govern
ment received here last night by
cable. The communication follows:
We must remark upon the con-
duct of certain American soldiers,
pioneers and workmen on the mill j.
tary railroad in the sector of the
German attack west of Cambria son
November 80. They exchanged their
picks and shovels for rifles and cart
ridges and fought with the English.
Many died thus bravely, arms in
hand, before the invader All helped
to repulse the enemy. There is not q
single person who saw them at work
who does not render warm praise to
The GOODNESS, discipline and courage
of these improvised combatants."
