Rebuilding on Heels of the
Troops

That France does not expect
a return of the tide of war is
manifest in the fact that she is
rebuilding the destroyed cities as
the armies advance. Mr.. Thomp-
son, agent in Paris for an Amer
ican steel exporting firm, is in
New York to report to his COM
pany, and he SAYS to a Journal of
Commerce reporter that while
the public understands great
activities will be in evidence in
France and Belgium after the
war in reconstrucing the devas-
tated towns. yet it is not so we'll
known that this work is even
now proceeding as rapidly as
the territory is being recovered,
and that reconstruction follows
in the wake of the advancing
army, the reparation of damage
and the rehabilitation of fac
tories proceeding right up to the
firing line. Mr.. Thompson says
that buying for entire tons will
be done by great syndicates
working with the cooperation
of the Government. In his view
the United States could establish
itself firmly in the French mar.
ket, but only by methods of com.
bination and farsighted organi
zation which can adequately
analyze the situation.-Charlotte
Observer.

The threatened railway strike
was ayerted at the last moment
by mediation. The railroads
left the settlement with the me
diation board and the brother
hoods. The eight hour law was
agreed upon, but only prorala
pay tor overtime was allowed,
On the heels of this settlement
came the decision of the Su
preme Court upholdlng the
Adamson eight hour law. 1t is
believed that this settles the con.
troversy between the railroads
and the employees.

White Man Was Shot at Win

Charlotte Observer.
Shot completely through the
head by a steel,jacketed ball
from a .3S caliber automatic pis-
tol and with a similar bullet hole
through the body in the region
of the heart, Edgar Williams, a
policeman of Wingate, six miles
from Monroe, is believed to be
dying in the Brenizer Sanatori-
um where he was rushed last
night by his father, H. F. Will
liams, and a cousin. r. G..
Griffin,
The officer was shot while at,
tempting to arrest negro, Bunk
Maske, for whom he held a war
rant upon a charge OF having
committed an assault upon his
wife. In the fight which ensued
upon the officers attempt to
place the negro under arrest, he
was shot twice, the missiles from
the powerful weapon passing
completely through his head and
body.
Surgeons at Brenizer's Sana
torium last night found that the
first bullet had entered above
the right ear and passed com
pletely through MIR. Williams
brain. Parts of that organ were
oozing through the wound in
his head. The bullet which
struck his body, entered some
two inches below the heart and
passed on through, making its
exit just above the right hip.
Despite th.se fearful wounds
the officer regained conscious
ness on his trip to Charlotte and
was able TO converse in a ration
al manner until rendered uncon
scious by an anaesthetic admin
istered upon the operating table
in the sanatorium.
He withstood the operation

night was recovering from thu
effects of the anaesthetic. Sur

A CALL TO DUTY
Every Man On His Mettle.

On another page is the Presidents bugle
call to every citizen to perform some
strenuous duty for his country. 1t is not
the command of a monarch, king, nor
feudal lord, to uphold his personal cause,
but a plea OF the commander in cllief OF
tile Army and Navy to support the cause
against Germany, the reasons for which
were set forth in his former message to
Congress TO take up arms for a world de-
mocracy founded upon the principles OF
our fo~refathers as set forth in the Declar-
alton OF independence, life, liberty and
tIe pursuit OF happiness, against ruthless
murder by monarchial autocracy.
Principles are eternal and come before
Providence and personal interests.
Our Revolutionary fathers met the pro-
fessional Hessian soldiers hired by George
III, by having a Prussian soldier, Baron
Steuben, train Washington's ragged Con-
t~inentals with discipline and force to
meet the invaders. See his statue OIL
tile park in front of the White House in
Washington and read the inscription
thereon.
German economy, thrift, invention,
science, education and skill must be met
by a people thrilled and Jealous for I'M
selfish national principles set forth by the
Commander in Chief.
Lincoln said, "This country cannot
live half free and half slave"
Woodrow Wilson says ''This world can
not exist half Democracy and half Au-
tocracy."
The supreme test is on whether king
craft shall rule, or have the people enough
red blood to lule themselves.
Americas answer should be eve have
the men, we have the mind, we have the
money, too" That means that every
American citizen has a personal duty as
set forth in the Presidents proclamation.
This is no time for drones nor slackers.
DUTY
This is what the German poet Schiller
taught his people:
What shall l do to be forever known?
Thy duty ever.
Thus did full many who yet sleep un-
known,
O never, never.
Think'st thou perchance that they remain
unknown
Whom thou know'st not?
BY angel trumps in heaven their praise
is blown,
Divine their lot"
Shall the American do less for the
maintenance OF the principles OF Freedom
than the Germans are doing for their
barbarian crusade under the command OF
kings who do not give their reasons why,
only to do and die?
The Penn's Grove record., 1917-04-20

Valuable information, compact, compre-
hensive and handy, about the laws enact
ed by the last Legislature is contained
in a pamphlet just issued by State Lii
brarian John p. Dullard as head of the
Legislative Reference Department of the
State Library. 1t is entitled "Descrip-
tive List of Laws and Joint Resolutions
enacted by the State of New Jersey, Leg
~islative Session of 1917" The pamphlet
gives the original number and the chap
ter number of each of the 2S9 new laws
also a brief outline of each one, showing
its subject matter; where it applies and
when it takes effect. Copies may be OBJ
aimed from Librarian Dullard at the
State House.
Military training in the high schools of
the State will be given a public bearing
by the State Board of Education at the
State House next Saturday at 1880 a.
m. The hearing will be on the new Pier
son law which provides compulsory ply
steal training for all but kindergarten
pupils in the schools and for military
training for high schools provided it be
adopted by the voters at a referendum
election, or be approved by the State
Board of Education. The exact provision
is that if the State Board does not APP
prove the military feature, any school
district may, oil a vote of its people, es-
tablish the military training.
.
The death of Senator Edmund B. Os-
borne, of Essex County, will be a serious
loss to the Progressive and Home Rule
causes in New Jersey. While an active
Republican, he chiefly directed his politi-
cal energies into the channels of Pro-
gressiveness, Home Rule and Single Tax.
He was a hard, persistent fighter for what
he believed to be right, and was noted
for his aggressive tactics. He was not
looked upon as a practical politician and
his election to the Senate last fall was
received with considerable surprise in
political circles.
The surprise was due to the fact that
it was not thought he could win the nOm-
nation from the regular Republican can
didate, as he ran on a straight home rule
and local option platform. His death
means the loss of one local option vote
in the Senate. Senator Osborne was
elected for the unexpired term of Sena-
tor Austen Colgate, which expired this
year, and would have been a candidate to
succeed himself next fall. Governor Edge
sent a telegram of sympathy to Mrs. Os-
borne in which he said that the death
meant a loss to New Jersey of an able
statesman whose services were as val
liable as his ideals were lofty and pat
riotic. Many of the Senators attended
the funeral of their colleague.
Mrs. Floy Cornell Murray, wife of
O,n .S G0~1o4I ~ TNI-~o-l AZ
ray, of Trenton, died last Saturday in
Grant Hospital, Columbus, Ohio, after
IN operation for a throat affection. She
was the daughter of former Surrogate
John w. Cornell, long one of the active
Republicans of Mercer County. Her fu-
neral took place yesterday.

When you brush your suit be sure not to overlook

Silks and satins have risen from 10 to 50 percent

Haircloth, thread, tape, buttons-every item of
