The Court of Errors and Appeals has
reversed the decision of Judge Carrow
in the case of Burlington county against
Patrick Hennessey, and ordered new
trial in the lower court. Hennessey
had the contracts to build two bridges
in Burlington, at Broad and Pearl
streets. He failed to complete the
structures, and the county gave the
work to another contractor to complete,
costing about $1,000 more than the
original contracts. At the trial Judge
Carrow directed verdict against Hen
Messy for that amount. This was de-
cided to have been an error. V. c..
Palmer represented Hennessey.
Joseph levitt, formerly employed
on the farm Of Roy Woodside, near
Jacksonville, was among the few Amer
lean soldiers recently wounded in an
engagement in France. The extent of
his injuries has not yet been ascer-
tanned. As far as known he is an
orphan, as he was brought up in a
public home in Newark. He had been
employed at several places in this
neighborhood, including the farms OF
Walter Frake and Clarence Mason, and
Schmid's bakery, Mount Holly. While
working for Mr.. Woodside the young
man enlisted in the field artillery Of
the regular army, and was sent to
France. He named Mr.. Woodside as
the person to notify in case of emerg
ency. Young Levitt bore good repu
tation and was well liked by his EN-
plOyers.

ARIZONA FIRST
STATE To HAVE
DRAF I STATUTE

Interesting features of the organiZa-
ton of the regiments of troops under
the laws that will be enforced as soon
as the immense army that has been
planned for the present war begins to
assume shape are called to mind by
those who are familiar with the mill
tary of the state OF Arizona. Arizona
was the first state TO embody in its
code the idea of a reserve battalion.
Under this plan battalion of six hum
bred men, in federal service and paid
by the United States Will be continually
on duty in the state, kept filled to COM
plete strength under the provisions of
the draft law. This plan was taken
bodily from the Arizona code and made
the military law of sne United States
in 1916.
From the reserve battalion the bat
talions of 600 or more men each that
form the first line on duty at the front
will be kept at war strength. The ad-
vantage of the plan is obvious. Arizona
men go into the Arizona regiment
trained for service. They do not join
the regiment in the field green, except
as to the matter of serving under fire
The regiment is always kept at war
strength by the trained material for
warded from the reserve camp, and the
protection afforded by a force of well
/ organized troops of 500 men at home is
always present as safe guard.
! Another interesting item is that the
! draft provided by the bill now under
/ consideration is almost identical with
! the Arizona law passed more than five
! years ago, several years before the
army experts were talking universal
/ service as an adequate means of mill
| tary protection for the state and ma
J cd in,
and this time in a field that has always
been supposed to have been fully COW
| cred and pre-empted by the general
| staff of the army at Washington, and
the military experts of the country
who are not so remotely removed from
the center of activities.
Still further interest centers around
the provisions of the draft bill. Asso-
ciated Press dispatches describe the
need of the new army in officers and
non commissioned officers as between
10000 and 100000, who will have to bs
chosen from the regiments of the regu-
lars and national guards now in tbs
service. Here Games the real rea sor

the strange dual personality it por-

that the part of Maize Williams is

tricts whose recruits are assigned to
Camp Dix, Wrightstown, N. j.
Camp Meade, Maryland, and Camp

Delay in construction at these
