 Charles Seymour of the Department of History at Yale University, an @wers in telling manner the question, What is Likely to Happen if We Fail to Win This War;" in one of the series of "Made-in- Connecticut" war interviews made public today by the Connecticut. State Council of De-
 fense.
 If we fail to win this war we must frankly face two inevitable conse- auences, both pregnant with disaster for the happiness of our own coming generations. The one consequence is material the other moral" said Pro
 lessor Seymour. Continuing his in terview. Professor Seymour said:-
 Our failure means the triumph of the militaristic clique at Berlin and Germans, who believe thai God has given to Germany the function of rul- ing the world. Germany VIII be ruled by such men as the Crown Prince. who pliers chateaux and sends millions to their death on the field in the hope of winning personal glory; as von Hindenburg, the personification of brutal efficient militarism; as von of drowning non-combatant women and children by the hundred. Gan we trust the peace of the world to such men?
 If we fail to win th~ war, they will, at the very moment-o of peace. dominate an empire such as the world has not seen since the days of Rome. Germany was strong in 1914. Har strength will be Quadrupled if she is allowed to maintain that union of Central Europe which She has been building up1&hese last three years. It will not be Simply Germany the world need fear. but Germany, Austria-Hu gary. Bulgaria, and waterways of the Rhine and the Danube. the bridge into Asia at Constantinople, an! the short cut to the East. The empire would be se1f-contained; 1t would have its mines in Alsace and Belgium. it's oil and wheat fields in Rumania, it would draw in-xhaustible supplies from Mes opota nina.
 The new empire would be far stronger in relation to the rest of the world than ever was Germany. It's ] foes would be divided by their failure. ]

At special meeting of Deacons

after services yesterday morning (the

cussed and acted upon was a motion
which carried that the clerk write
you that they regret very much TO
notice the favor you are extending
to the liquor interests. You insert
advertisements for them, among them
an especially prominent one on the
great and wonderfully recuperative

In case of continuance, much as
they regret it, the board will feel
obliged to withdraw patronage from

Respectfully submitted,

Big Pike Will Strike
Hooks a Plenty

Lurking in the shadow of some
submerged tree stump or hidden away
among the tall reeds along shore OF
in the bottom grasses of his native
New Jersey stream or lake, many a
big pike to-day is waiting to make a
meal on every unwary fish and frog
that comes within striking distance OF
the pin-pointed teetm of his varacious
mouth. Each big fish is feeling the
awakening effect of. the warm spring

in his movements. His flesh is sound
and the strength of fin and muscle

and "the fresh-water shark" So the

The Way to the Good Job

If you can work and keep your smile
And not be grumbling all the while
If you are glad to do your share
And sometimes more, and still not
care,
And take the gain or take the loss,
And still be loyal to your boss,
You need not fear the frowning fates
For you a good job surely waits.
If you put into all you do
The very heart and soul of you
And give unto the simplest test
That spirit which is called best,
And use your brain along the way
1t makes no difference what to-day
You're being called upon to do
A good job surely waits for you.
Men do not rise by handsome looks,
Or from the things they've read in
books,
Or even from the facts they know,
But from the knowledge that they
show.
If you are patient and will work
And do the tasks that fret and irk
Without complaining, in good time
The ladder of success you'll climb.
If you will think about your task
And of yourself this question ask:
with this would / be satisfied
If l were on the buyers side?"
And never let it pass until
1t marks the summit of your skill,
Be not dismayed nor live in dread.
A better job is just ahead.
To-day is but stepping stone
To glories that are still unknown,
The sunbeams of tomorrow raise
The seed of all our yesterdays;
In what we are men near US see
What in the future we shall be.
The good job blossoms on the soil
That has been titled with honest toll.

tents, stationery and writing ma
terials, magazines, pianos, moving
picture machines, games Of all de-
scriptions and ice to help cheer them
while compelled to be away from
home comfort.
Everyone should be willing to as
sist in order to provide comforts foi
the men called to the defense of our
country. To do this, it will be nee
essary to raise between four and five
cents per capita in each municipality
Eastern Bergen cannot step aside
in this gigantic and worthy PROPOSE
ton as all money contributed will be
devoted to the care and comfort of
our own men in the New Jersey
troops.
Previous to a preliminary meeting
held on Friday, May 25, the amount
Of $1,000 was raised in Hoboken
alone, thereby showing an early re-
Spouse and wonderful encourage
ment for the committee in charge of
this work. This work is being carried
on through the nearest branch Of the
Y. M. C. A., which is located at Ho-
boken and is known as the D. L. &

Everyone must do all in their power
to give them the best we can as the
