All Slackers To Be
Certified Into Army

Washington, August 2.-President
"slackers" who failed to appear for
draft examination be reported to the
Department of Justice and certified
into the National Army by the Adju-
tant General of the State.
Should these men fail to report to
the Adjutant General within five
days after notification of their GER
tilication into the army, they will be
reported to the Adjutant General of
the army for his action.
The Government is preparing to
f hit claims for exemption from the
draft
Concerned at the great number of
those attempting to avoid service, the
Provost Marshal Generals office to-
day announced that exemptions in ag-
riculture and other industries will be
carefully scrutinied.
AS a direct slap at marriage
slackers," the Government will auto
matically appeal from every exemp-
ton on the grounds of dependency.
The purpose of the appeals is to
obtain nationwide uniformity in eX-
empClOn rulings, WHICH is TeSdfueu
as otherwise impossible from 4,5o7
local boards.
All registrants are invited by Gen
eral Crowder to report any improper
exemptions.
Discussing industrial exemptions
General Crowder said district boards
were "powerless to relieve cases in
which private loss or hardship rather
than national necessity" are at stake.
,"Otherwise another man would be
asked to offer his life in order that
this mans material benefit be serv-
ed,' said Crowder.

Mayor Cadien Throws
Additional Light On
The Budget Figures
Editor Palisadian:

In looking over last weeks issue of
your valuable paper | was surprised
and somewhat amused at the letter
appearing there from a former mem
ber of the council and chairman oe
the Finance Committee for three
years. | am indeed sorry that the
gentleman is SO unfamiliar with the
financial condition of our borough,
and particularly so when it is six
months ago only that he was presi-
dent of the council. In the first place
l would like to correct Mr. Sammis'
figures on the budget for last year.
Our budget for 1918 was $29,999, in
stead of the $27,500 that he states
and we borrowed from the Fra lchise
and License fund $5,018.65, making
total expenditure of $34,018.65.
This does not include an item of $2,-
100 interest on bonds which was for
gotten or Intentionally left out.
In making up the budget for this
year we find that we will be able to
carry on the affairs of the borough
by making oar esaarr bridget SCI, 800. This
budget of $l5,0O0.3 This will not be
sufficient, of course, to cover all ex-
penses, but by using the same means
as were made use of in previous
years, namely, drawing on the Fran
chise account and by borrowing
against unpaid taxes for the years
1915 and 1916, we will have more
than sufficient to carry on our affairs
with the additional expense incurred;
that is, $4,000 interest on bonds for
the year 1917, $2,100 Of which was left
out last year and has to be taken care
of this year, $4,000 appropriated for
Home Defense, new police reporting
system, $1,000, one additional police
man and an increase in salaries to
the police and roadmen. 1t is true
that our expenses will approximate
$41 900 for this year as against 1884,
018.65 plus S2,100, making a total of
$36, 1855. This will show an increase
of less than $4,000 over last year.
In conclusion, if Mr.. Sammis wishes
to know when and where the meeting
at which the budget was fixed was
held. The records of the Borough Clerk
will give him full information regard
ing it.
Very truly yours,
John C. Cadien,
Mayor of Cliffside Park.

Great REVIVAL ON
Evangelist Andrews and Singers
Curry and Miss Andrews Stirring
up Deep Interest at Mexico Meth
odist Church.

Larger audiences from night to
night greet Rev. ]. B. Andrews, who
is conducting a revival at the Mexico
Methodist Church.
A splendid feature of the services
is the singing under the leadership
of Mr.. c. B. Curry, who is one of the
greatest chorus leaders and gospel
singers in this country today. The
bright new songs have a charm all
their own, but under his leadership
become inspiring. Another notable
musical feature is the singing of Miss
Ann Andrews, who has a contralto
voice of rare richness. The duets of
Mr.. Curry and Miss Andrews will de-
light all music lovers. Theduet Mon
day night, entitled I'm Living in
Beulah Land" was a most beautiful
and unique one.
Brother Andrews was at his best
Monday night. The message was
based on Matt. 5:13, "Ye are the salt
of the earth; but if the salt have lost
its SAVIOR wherewithal shall it be salt
ed?" The sermon was eloquent and
replete with wit and humor and held
the closest attention of the audience.
His Characterization Of certain types
of sa-called Christian activities was
incisive and illuminating and, at tines,
most humorous. His manner of de-
livering home the truth is marked by
rare skill and reveals large expert
ence and a rare native ability.
The party visited Mcmillan High
School Tuesday afternoon, where a
deep impression was made. Miss An
drews, whose speciality is work among
the young people and particularly
girls, captivated the crowd. Mr.. Cur
ry delighted them with solo and Mr..
Andrews made brief, but most in
teresting address.
There will be services each day
at 2:3O and 1890 Special series of
addresses will be delivered at the af-
ternoon services.
