INTERNATIONAL. BANKING rs
NOW DONE on GREAT SGALi

LONDON, Dec. Sir Richard Vas
sar Smith in a recent address before
the Institute of Bankers said one
feature of recent banking Develop
ments had been the greater and more
immediate control which leading
banks had assumed over financial re-
lations with other countries by the
creation of foreign departments and
the opening of branches in foreign
countries. This development of inter
national banking meant a demand for
young Englishmen with knowledge
of foreign languages, foreign exchange
and the commercial and financial con-
ditions of other countries.
Preliminary examinations of the in
stitute for the coming year opened to
women.
He saw no reason for detection of
encouragement with regard to the
future, Reconstruction after the war
would be long and arduous but it mus.
be undertaken by removing all friction
from the machinery for progress and
by approaching the problem in spirit

|SOLATING HOLLAND
IS BAD POLICY SAYS
MINISTER Of FINANCE

THE HAGUE, Netherlands, Dec s.
i am quite sure the policy of Amer
lea and Britain of isolating Holland
l.; bad one,' declared Marie Willem
Frederik Treub, Netherlands Minister
OF Finance, in discussing recently his
country's position with the correspond
ent of the Associated Press.
Minister Treubls criticism was based
on the contention that the attitude Of
the two powers made the Netherlands
dependent on Germany, with the re-
suit that she had to make all kinds
of concessions to that country. More
over, he thought it had a most I'M
fortunate effect on the nations SPIN
pathies. At the outset of the wan
these were for the largest part, on the
side of the Entente Allies, but, ex-
cepting perhaps France, prO-Allied
feeling had since largely declined as
result of Allied measures. II re-
ferendum on the subject could be
taken today, he thought it would show
a pretty equal division of sympathe!s
between the Entente and the Central
Powers. Unless the present policy
be changed he added, Il am quite
sure pro-Allied feeling will decline
daily
Discussing the question with Britain
in respect of allowing German to take
gravel and sand over the Netherlands
waterways to Belgium which led the
British government to withdraw finan-
cial and commercial Geographic facili-
ties from Holland, Mr. Treug declar-
ed: Proof in such circumstances is
always difficult, but if the Netherlands
government only gets the impression
that such sand and gravel is really
for war purposes / an absolutely sure
the traffic will be stopped
AS regards the question of the
Netherlands ships that have so long
been lying in American ports, the min
lister was hopeful that an arrangement
might even yet materialize, suggesting
that it would be mutually acceptable
it, say, third of their number was
placed in the Observation-Disclosures
East hides Service, a third placed at
the disposal of the Belgian Relief
and third permitted to
ply between the United States and Hol-
land.
SIS it possible for the Netherlands
so to revise her present export ar
as to remove Americas OBJ

of good will
He state that the first and most
serious question in his opinion was
the relations of capital and labor, as
il was only by harmonious working
between these two forces that the re-
quired result could be obtained.
He urged strongly the necessity
of better organization, after the war.
The day of small industries on in
dividual line was gone, he said, and
manufacturers and traders must or
ganize for united effort.

Base Ball.

For q little while the spectators at
the ball grounds, on Saturday, felt that
the occurrences of the previous week
might be repeated, In the first inning
Lawrie Gillian got q hit and was adj
yanced to second by Morgan's sacrifice,
coming home on Beaudry's hit. In
the third inning Forbes got hit but
was forced at second. Lawrie reached
second and came home on McCus's
hit but the latter tried to made second
and failed.
In the fourth inning the first two
men on Lumberton's team were re-
tired, and the third man hit fly to
Jess Foulks, which the latter dropped.
Worrell and Cossaboon each got a
hit, Moore was passed. Scho6eld got
"a hit and when the smoke cleared
away Lumberton had scored three
runs.
Mount Holly now had to make one
run to tie the score and two to go
ahead. Beaudry got to first on an
error, but was caught at second. Jack
Gillian and Frank Foulks each got a
hit and Peacock struck out. 1t looked
little dubious, but Jess Foulks came
up and with the sting of the errors he
made determined to get even. He did
SO by sending out beautiful double
and the two necessary runs were
scored. But Mount Holly wanted to
make things sure so Forbes hit nice
single, which Lawrie Gillian duplicated
and two more runs were added to the
tally, This settled the game, although
in the eighth inning there was little
uneasiness when the bases were filed
but two men were out and a high fly
captured by Lawrie Gillian settled the
matter.
The score follows:

Plea for Recruits

Recruiting of military units OF the
state to full strength was urged by
Governor Edge on Thursday in form
al proclamation. The Governor point
cd out that young men who go into
the service now will have the oppor
tunity Of expressing preference fol
the particular branch they wish to join,
which will not be the case when the
selective service statute is carried into
effect.
''At this stage Of the war every citi-
zen must be impressed with the fact
that universal service is expected and
necessary in the struggle for democ-
racy," said the proclamation.
NEW Jersey needs 1900 recruits in
the regular army OF the United States
in order that its quota shall be fully
equipped:
"New Jersey needs 1892 men in order
to bring its present National Guard
organizations to war strength-3805 in
fantry, sixteen cavalry, 164 field artil-
lery, five signal troops, 106 engineer
corps, and 1856 in the medical depart
ment.
New Jersey is called upon to organ
ize new units of the National Guard,
to be Federalized when such units are
differed and organization completed.
These new units are four companies OF
coast artillery, requiring 431 men; one
battalion field artillery, $40 men; one
brigade headquarters detachment, fif-
teen men; one division headquarters
troop, So men, a total of 1857.
''The sooner New Jersey recruits her
quota to the full strength in all
branches of service. the higher the
mark for our commonwealth in the
test of patriotism. We should reach
the goal in two or three weeks"

Party Names Explained.

The American party names, "Repub-
Mcan" and democrat" seem to convey
distinction without difference 10 the
English mind. AS with other party
names, however, their significance may
be extricated from their history. The
original Republicans" were actually
the ancestors of the present Demo
Gratis. Jefferson's party a. propriated
to themselves the name of Republic
ans" suggesting that the Federalists
were anti-Republican. The Federal
lists then nicknamed the Jefferson
party Democrats and the hostile
nickname, as with our own Wing and
Tory, was eventually adopted with
pride by the Jeffersonians themselves.
Meanwhile the Federalists were long
known as Wings. The modern Repub-
ncan party deliberately adopted its
name when the various antislavery
sections coalesced In Lincoln's time.-

Medfnrd.

The following resolution has been
adopted by the township committee:
Whereas, the country being in an
actual state of war makes it an imper-
alive duty of the public officials to see
that in so far as their authority ex-
tends the public be guarded against
the possible overt act of some plotteI
using the celebration of the day as a
cover and means for evil purposes,
And whereas, economy in every
other line is being properly urged and
complied with at this time, why not
economic in gunpowder? We need
the powder foruse against our country
enemies; let us not use it against our
selves.
Now therefore, be it resolved: That
no fireworks or explosives of any kind
be sold or offered for sale within the
tow nship of Medford. And be it fur
thef resolved, that no fireworks or ex
plosives shall be set off or exploded on
the streets or highways within the
township Of Medford on the fourth day
of July, or at any time until further
notice.

Food Gardens.

An error in attempting to reply to a
city newspaper inquiry over the phone
may have harmful bearing on plans
for food gardens next year, and gives
justification for this communication.
Our truckers and gardeners rarely
fail to produce all of the perishable
stuff that the public can consume and
this year their products have restricted
sale because ten of thousands OF food
gardens are producing perishable stuff
instead OF products that could be carried
through the winter without the use of
containers. Our New Jersey Depart.
ment of Agriculture tried to impress
the home garden people with the fact
that our farmers would naturally fur
nish our cities with all of the quickly
perishable food that could be used, and
that these new producers should turn
to beans. corn, cabbage, turnips, car
rots and other such food products as
could be cheaply stored for winter
without the use Of any special con-
tanners. A mistake has been made in
subiecting our farming public to loss OF
their usual market in some degree
when new land could have been used
to help us out next winter and spring
Our asparagus, strawberries and some
other crops are harvested from plant
ings made years ago and are bought
less freely this year because other kinds
of green food are being supplied bv
home gardens. In this way financial
loss lis brought to the farmers upon
whom the country must depend year
after year, and the loss is especially
heavy because there is a most made
quate supply of experienced labor and
the inexperienced labor cannot be
secured in sufficient amount even at
extremely high prices.
The farmers are further handicapped
by the shortage in packages for preserv-
ing what they have produced, and
while / cannot know how urgent the
government need of material and of
transportation may be, it does seem of
vital interest that our authorities at
Washington should make it easy for
our people to get crates, tin cans and
shipping facilities.
This word to you may deserve some
prominence in your paper because ali
unusual acreage planted to trucking
crops by city and village people next
sprine should grow chiefly food for the
next winter, and our farmers whose
regular business it is to furnish vegeta-
bles and fruits for summer use should
not be driven by this summers ex-
perisnce to fear competition next
wear that really is unfair to men whose
regular business is to produce quickly
perishabls products.

Secretary Department of Agriculture.
