James D. Moore And
Frank Lang Swim
Across The Hudson

Anybody who knows Jimmie
Moore and Frank LANCE, of Fort Lee
two of the coming big men of the
borough, realizes that they are
possessed of undoubted pluck. The
following from the Hackensack
Evening Record of last Tuesday
proves it:
Francis G. Lang, Assistant En-
gineer of the Borough of Fort Lee,
and James d. Moore, Inheritance
Tax Supervisor Of the county, quail
fed as swimmers, according to the
Fort Lee standard, by swimming
from the old Fort Lee landing on the
Jersey shore to Fort Washington
Point on the New York side, Sunday
morning, a distance of over three
miles. The feat was performed in
fifty minutes. Messrs. Lang and
Moore were kept busy receiving the
congratulations of their friends all
day yesterday.

Kaiser Wins at Last!

Kaiser WINS at Last.
The Kaiser has won one complete
and decisive victory at least. DIR.
Karl Siebknecht is suffering from
mental depression, the result of in
human treatment while in prison, in
addition to tuberculosis. DR.. Seib-
knecht weighs only eighty -four
pounds. Daily paper.
81 won't give him case of muir
der to read" muttered Sir Mulberry
Hawk, with an oath, "but it shall be
something near it, if whipcord cuts
and bludgeons bruise. Nicholas
Nickelby.
Here we have prototype of the
Kaiser's soliloquy just before arrest
ing Siebknecht. He was liberated
after a years torture, only that he
might not die in prison. Even Sir
Mulberry did not triumph to this eA
tent.
Up to 1914 the meanest and most
contemplate cur ever depicted was
Jonas Chuzzlewit. Since that date
the Kaiser has shown Jonas to be a
baby innocent by comparison. Apache
Indians sicken with horror when
they read the newspapers nowadays

Single Tax Pacifists-Bah!

A single taxer as such has no right
to express his views as to the war
policies of the United States, or other
governments, and those men who
claim to be single takers, and talk
pacificism are merely expressing
their sympathies with Germany as
against the interests of the United
States and the Allies. They bring
discredit on the teachings Of Henry
George and are as much the enemies
of his doctrine as they are of this
country. Every pacifiist is an enemy
of the United States and should be
treated as such. They would do ex-
actly as the Russian pacifists did in
Galicia-try to induce United States
troops to run away in the face of
the enemy. They would have an i'm
possible job, but they would not hest
tate to attempt it.

Edward r. Oman Dies
Suddenly Sunday
From Heart Trouble

Edward R. Oman, of Edgewood
lane, Palisade, died suddenly last
Sunday morning about four o'clock |
He went to bed about the usual
hour, and had not complained of any
illness, it is said. Shortly before the
hour named he awakened and called
to his wife, saying he did not feel
just right, and asked for a piece of
ice. Mrs. Oman got up and FASTENED
down stairs for the ice and to call a
physician, but when she got back
her husband was dead. 1t is sup
posed he had some form of heart
trouble, and this is what caused his
death, no doubt. DR.. Smith, of Grant
wood, responded, but his call was
useless.
Mr.. Oman was highly thought of
by those who knew him. He was
quiet, unobtrusive disposition, and
very much loved by his more init
mate friends. He had winning way
about him with those he selected as
his closest friends, and while he was
not very talkative man, he had
views of his own, and did not hest
tate to give them expression when
occasion warranted. He was always
willing contributor to whatever was
regarded for the good of Palisade,
and was in any movement that looked
toward the towns betterment. He
was an active and energetic member
of the Palisade Home Defense Guard,
and seldom missed meeting or drill.
Only very recently he was injured by
pany while marching in Anderson
avenue. He was not much hurt, how
ever, and soon recovered from the
bruises he received. He leaves a wife
and two little children, little Virginia
and Frederick, five and three, respec-
lively.
An incident showing the kindly
tendency of Mr.. Oman's character
may be mentioned here. On Thurs
day morning of last week, Mr.. L. C.
Anderson was passing through Edge
wood lane on the way to his Office in
New York, carrying two suit cases
belonging to his daughter who was to
leave for Connecticut that afternoon.
"Wait," said Mr.. Oman. 'T'll give
you a lift and take you over to
town." In the car, also, was Walter
Binner, Mr.. Oman's next door neigh
Dor, and his closest friend in the
village. The three rode over to New
York and Mr.. Oman went out of his
way to deliver Mr.. Anderson at his
Office in 130th street. 1t was a very
thoughtful, kindly act, but like many
others that could be named. His life
was filled with just such things. His
retiring disposition, however, made
it slow process for many people to
understand him. But his life was
sincere Of purpose, and he was built
of the right sort of stuff. Few nobler
men have lived than Edward R. Oman.
An autopsy developed the fact
he had fatty degeneration of the
heart. 1t was performed under the
direction of Undertaken McNally, of
Fort Lee, who is also coroner of the
county
The funeral took place Tuesday
afternoon. The interment was in
Fairview where his parents are
buried Mr.. Oman was twenty years
old July 10. He was born in New
| York City, but he was raised in Edge
water, where his father was alder
man a number of years. He carried
on a successful interior decoration
and painting business in New York.
There We're many floral offerings sent
by friends.

BABY WAS DEVELOPING

Johnny was small boy of about
five years, and he had a baby sister
who was just learning to walk. One
day Johnny saw his little sister stand
alone and take a few steps for the
first time. Johnny ran hurriedly to
his mother and said, "Oh mamma,
come here quick! Baby's walkin' on
her hind legs"

Puzzle in Natural History

Walking through the brush last
week | came across the most wonder
full caterpillars I have ever seen,
outside of the measuring worms"
so-called. They were of different
species, one resembling a green leaf
with the edge curled over and brown
ed by decay; the other splashes of
lime on brown twig. These are
called mimic insects"
Query for the atheist-How did
these insects color and shape them
selves so as to produce these illu-
sions? Was it the moth that picked
out the colors for the caterpillars, or
was it the caterpillars that picked
the colors and painted themselves?

refreshing sight to see workmen
busy over the job, and to know that
when finished it will remain solid

We have always lived in hope that
this great work would be undertaken

realized. Now, begin the Hudson

one on each of their cars having a

is known to have been done in cases

chine with only Rone license plate at
tached, and the policy Of arrestingssall
drivers of machines having but one
plate has given impetus to the bust
