FRENCH FIGHTERS WILL

Naval Officers Visiting America Taste
Delicacy and Will Give Men
at Front Treat.

Chica go.-The ice cream cone will
be carried back to France by three
French naval lieutenants who made
the acquaintance of the delicacy at the
Great Lakes Training Station and were
so delighted with it's crisp succulence
that they declared their fellow sol
diers abroad must be given a similar
treat
The three officers, Lieutenants Fer
nand Gautier, Paul Prevot and Maurice
Laffly, were inspecting the training
station when they espied a number of
bluejackets buying cones at the can
teen operated by the Navy Relief So
ciety. Questions led to purchase Of
cones for the visitors by Mrs. w. A.
Moffett, wife of Captain Moffett, COM
manding the station, and in the midst
of admiring spectators the French
men successfully negotiated the cream
filled cones, even to the last tip.
.Magnifque, delicieuse,' was their
verdict, after which they announced
that they would undertake to obtain
supply of cones to take back to
France with them and show the gov
eminent what the French soldiers are
missing

Weed Grown Palisade
Does Not Present
INVITING Prospect

If it would not hurt anybody's feel
ings connected with that best-that-
eVer-was administration at Fort Lee,
it might not be amiss to call attention
to the glorious condition of Palisade
at this time. The sidewalks in the
many recherche sections of the village
are so overgrown with grass and
weeds that a lady with a clean white
skirt on would be better off walking
in the middle of the roadway. The
funny part of this statemnt is that
it is every word true, and not a syll-
able exaggerated. This may not be
the case up around certain favored
sections of the town, but it is literally
true in many others-the most OF
them, in fact Along the North side
of Bluff road, between Cumbernede
road and Palisade avenue, the condi-
ton is scandallous. Along Cumber-
mede road between Bluff road and
Columbia avenue, there is at least one
portion of the sidewalk that is almost
entirely overgrown with elder bushes.
Along Cumbermede road, between
Bluff road and Bride way, there are
portions that are as bad almost as
the others named.
OF course. now that this mention
is made, and the further fact that the
election is coming on in the fall, there
is going to be a horde of workIhen
sent down from Fort Lee that will
make short work of the weeds and
grass. In the meantime, for coming
favors and forgetting those neglected
ones that have been long overdue, we
thank you, Mr.. Roadman Man.

Mr.. Sammis Speaks
More Pointedly Than
In Former Letter
Clihfside Park,
August 7, 1917

Editor of Palisadian:
Mayor Cadien in his letter published
in the last issue of your paper says
that the Borough budget of Cliffside
Park for 1916 was $4,000 and not
$27,50 as | stated in my letter. He
neglects to say where he got his fig
ures. l got my figures from the tax
roll Of 1916 and they are correct.
Any person can verify them by look
ing at the copies of the tax roll for
1916 in the post offices. Most Bor-
oughs in New Jersey have adopted the
custom of publishing the Borough bud
gets for the current year and the pre-
ceeding year in the local papers so
that the taxpayers can compare them.
Cliffside Park does not do this. For
the sake of getting at the exact truth
will give the Borough budgets Of
Cliffside Park for 1916 and 1917. The
figures for 1916 are obtained from the
Borough tax roll for 1916 and from
Nj. Sheehan, our tax collector. The
figures for 1917 have been furnished
me by Mr. Cohn, chairman for the
Finance Committee

u BOATS CAN NOW
STAY AT SEA A YEAR
Captain Tells American They Are
Kept Supplied by Other
Submarines.

New York.-Captain Bragg, who has
arrived at an Atlantic port with the
crew of the American bark Hildegaard,
which was sunk with bombs by the
crew of German submarine on July
10 off the English coast, gives an inter
eSting account of his meeting with the
commander of the U boat According
stay away from their base for a year
or more if nothing happens to the ma
chinery. They patrol the seas within a
certain radius, he said, and their sup
plies are brought to them by subma-
rines of an older type, which act as
tenders.
The Hildegaard, according to Captain
Bragg, was blown up within sight of
two British patrol boats. which were
too Slow to come up before the bark
was destroyed The Germans did not
seem at all perturbed at the prospective
rahger
''The commander of the submarine
the captain continued. "spoke perfect
English and told me that he did not in
tend to harm me or any of my crew.
L am going to sink your ship. though,
he said because there are too many
American and British ships on the At
lantic. Get your crew into the life
boats quickly and pull for the shore
ahead of you, and | wish you luck
THE moss on the top and sides of
the submarine was fully an inch thick
with seaweed two inches long, which
looked as if the craft was kept lying on
the bed of the sea for hours at time
The crew had a rusty appearance and
could have done with turn in drydOck
for overhauling and cleaning up, as
well as their craft After she had sub
merged one of the British boats picked
us up and landed us later at an Eng

"PaIisadian" Writers Lead.

Perhaps you have noticed the pro
posals being brought forward by mem
oers of the Government at Washing
ton suggesting that Federal Land
value taxes be legalized?
The advocates of these "taxes" jus
tify them on the ground that they are
IN the public interest and benefit.
This is different plea to that OF
the protectionists of old times, who
only wanted to benefit the working
man" Indirectly. You will find the
"Palisadian" writer's always ahead or
matters of public interest. But what
a time it does take for the other fell
lows to catch up! (Still as long as
they do catch up.
Palisadian. [volume] (Cliffside Park, N.J.) 1906-current, 1917-08-11

with these HgureS before US, IL Is
hard to understand how Mr.. Cadien
can say that "In making up the bud
get for this year we find that we will
be able to carry on the affairs of the
Borough by making our budget $27,
500, this being a decrease from our
last years budget of 5000" III
looks like jump of $13,500.
For three years prior to 1917 the
Borough budget was kept at $27 500
oi.ere being no increase. This money
was raised by taxation each year.
In addition to this there was the fran
chise and license money amount annu-
ally to about $500. This was kept
in reserve to meet any unforeseen eX-
penscs that might come up during the
year such as the infantile paralysis
epidemic last year. Interest on the
sewer bonds was also paid out of it
instead of putting it on the taXpay-
ers as has been done this year. What
was left over went into the Borough
uaexpended balance. This year the
Bola1gt asldg est 81 $4leSo is7So large
that many taxpayers protested against
the whole amount being raised by
taxation. The Mayor and Council
nave therefore VOIeu W RAISE tpA ,oUu
of the budget by taxation and to take
$500 of the balance from the Fran
cllise and License fund and the re
naming $4,000 from the uneXpended
balance which has accumulated during
previous years. If the Borough eX-
penses for 1917 exceed Sal 900 as they
are quite sure to do, there will be no
franchise and license fund to fall back
on The Council will have to make
still further inroads on the unexpend-
ed balance left over from previous
years.
It will be noticed that the chief in
creases this year are in the Borough
and Police accounts. Will not Mr..
Cadien tell US just what these in
creases. are due to? Will he not eX-
plain why it was considered neces-
sarv this year to burden the Borough
with the expense Of an additional po
liceman when eight men of our home
guard are patrolling the Borough
every night for ouru protection with
out pay? He might also tell us why
TIE contract for the new fire engine
was not given to the lowest bidder as
the law provides.
Respectfully,
WARREN E. SAMMIS.

The Clan of Traitors.

There is a quietly organized cam
paign for the purpose of distributing
poisoned sticking plaster, poisoned
soap and other germ dispensing media
throughout the country. These gentry
are waiting till the bulk of our new
army are fully engaged in their mill
tary duties before coming to their
full activities. That, however, is in
significant in comparison with the eff
forts being put forth to poison the
minds of our citizens with German
sentiments and view points. The
worst offenders are the newspapers
that show their bids in underhand at
tacks on the motives of the Allies,
especially in slandering Che British
and in disappearing their ideals
and aims in the war Another under
hand and traitorous method is to ex-
toll the might of Germany and to pre-
tend that decision is impossible, advls-
ing that we enforce peace at once by
cutting off the food supplies Of our
Allies if they should dare to continue
the war. The editors of these papers
and their owners should be made to
enlighten the public, while dangling
from some of Mr.. Gerard's lampposts.
