WORKING WITH ENTHUSIASM.
Men in Army Camps Anxious to Learn
Soldering

WASHINGTON. Oct L. - Men Of
the national army are developing a
spirit that augurs vel for the future
of the force formal reports reaching
the war department from several can
tonmeuts show The Young soldiers arc
throwing themselves into the work with
zeal that has aroused the enthusiasm
Of their officers.
Especially gratifying to officials are
reports from Camp Dcvens. Aver. Mass.
and m order to learn the spirit of the
men at all training camps the depart
ment decided today to call upon divi-
>ional commanders for reports.
At Camp DevenS the company Off
GERS report many instances where the
men come in from eight hours Of in
tensive training still eager for work.
Instead of seeking rest in their quar-
tiers the new soldiers turn out into the
company streets and continue p.actie-
ing what they have Just learned. They
are eager to fit themselves physically
for the great task ahead of them, the
officers report, and a spirit of loyalty
to their companies or their regiments
IS rapidly developing
War department officials expect that
complete official reports will set at
rest forever any doubts as to the desire
for real service of the great mass OF
men in the national army. Already
great difficulty is being found In in
ducing men specially fitted by previous
training for n particular part of the
work behind the lines to forego their
places with the fighting units.

Councilman McEvoy reported that
the committee found the new fire

lnasmuch as it did not meet with the
requirements and specifications. 1t
was ordered to be returned and eff
forts will be renewed to obtain a new
whistle, capable OF being heard over

Columbia Avenue Menace
The dangerous nuisance existing
at Columbia avenue and the trolley
line caused by removing drain pipe
continues undated and was the SUBJ
Ject of a lengthy discussion. Mr..
zimmerman reported that the cellars
of his houses in the neighborhood
were inundated after every rain fall
and the ordor of stagnant water was
dangerous to the health of the COM
munity. Borough Attorney Agnew
reported on his, investigation OF the
facts. He stated the property owner
who had originally moved the pipe
did so to enable the erection of his
house and that to replace it would
cost him too much money and wanted
the borough to replace it or reimburse
him. Mr.. Agnew was authorized TO
go deeper into the matter and bring
it up for final action at the next
meeting.
E To Re-advertise
Owing to change in the plan of
the West Grantwood sewer. construc-
ton, Attorney Agnew found it adj
visable to re-advertise for bids on the
construction of housing for the pump
ing equipment and macine. The adj
vertisement was ordered in the Bor-
ough News and the "Palisadian."

formed like true masters of the stage
and done remarkably WELL Mary
Madden and Lily Leclercq achieved
worthy honors by their acting. They
went through many difficult and per-
picking situations with a dexterity
that did them proud. Miss Madden
was really splendid as winsome and
designing maid. Robert Cadien play
ed the role of a butler and as usual
performed in his best style.
The play was in every sense sue
cess, at least from dramatic point
of view. The auditorium would have
held many more people without over
crowdinr, but the players were in no
wise to blame, for they worked hard,
and a big vote of thanks is due them
for their successful efforts in staging
so fine performance.

Judge Seufert's Bill

versy, and that he was contributing
his services from patriotic and neigh
borly desire to assist in bringing
about a great reform-in compelling
cormorant corporation to do justice
by public groaning under unjust
burdens.
This conclusion was the more
plausible because as judge of the
Court of Common Pleas Judge Seu-
fert is paid salary of $4,000 per
year, which is fair compensation
even in this period of the high cost
OF living. However, we have no evil
dence that the municipalities repre-
sented by the Fighting Mayors"
paid Judge Seufert or anybody else
any fee for special or any other serv-
ices in connection with the water
matter. But it has transpired that
Judge Seufert presented to the Board
of Freeholders, this week.
Bill for $4,000
worded as follows:
"For services rendered in the mat
ter of the prosecutions before the
State Board of Public Utility Com
missioners in the cases affecting the
rates and services of the Hackensack
Water Company, which cases the
Board of Chosen Freeholders of the
County of Bergen was party; in
Guiding the investment, development
of the trial of the cases at the vari-
Gus hearings thereof, and the result
and settlement of the same and COW
ering the disbursements incurred by
use in connection with the aforesaid
matter-$15,0 00."
AS the bill is not itemized, the eX-
act amount charged for services, and
the portion for disbursements incur
red" is not known. Of course, the
Board of Freeholders will inquire
into these points; and they can with
propriety ask enlightment upon the
question or questions: How much
did the municipalities concerned in
this matter (Which they inaugurated)
pay to counsel for services in line
with those represented in Judge Seu-
fert's bill? If they paid anything,
to whom did they pay it and in what
amounts?
The Freeholders can and doubtless
will tell the public whether they for
mally employed Judge Seufert in this
business, and if so, why they selected
him when they had, their own paid
counsel and were also paying NSnore
than $4,000 for expert counsel and
stenographer from New York City.
There was, about two years ago, a
great deal of talk about the Water
Snake, by Reformers from Newark,
Hudson county, and our own guard
ians of the Golden Gates; but taking
the matter as whole it is doubtful
whether the Snake was quite as Shiny
serpent as it was pictured-consid-
ering the reptile in comparison with
the Great Reform Movement and it's
development.
Bergen county did not introduce
that movement and Bergen county
taxpayers at large should not be
mulcted for the expense, which is as
Stunning a magnitude that( may be
fairly described as damnably out
rageous. 4. ss6a2g

paroxyms of laughter. The show was
singularly good and was one of the
best comedies staged in the borough
for sometime past.
The cast displayed ability and a

Where are the Butterflies?

What has happened to all the but
TEXTILES? They have become very
scarce. Can it be that the constant
spraying of trees has caused the de-
struction of the larvae? The wind
carries the finely divided poison
spray for some distance and this may
have settled on the foliage of bushes
