TERRACE RESIDENTS
APPEAL FOR GOOD ROADS
Splendid Section That Is at a
Standstill on Account of
Miserable Highways.

The residents and lot owners of
Pleasantville Terrace are very anx-
ious to have the road leading from the
Fire Road into the Terrace put into a
passable condition. At the present
time it is in such poor shape that 1t
is almost impossible for automobiles
to traverse it at all, many accidents
being recorded due to it's miserable
condition. The Terrace is located on
high ground, and is a very healthy
spot, the residents receiving the bene-
fit of the combined ocean and pine
breezes. The population is limited,
because of the poor travelling facilities,
those living there owning wheels and
being compelled to ride same on the
Reading Railroads right of way. The
Terrace is divided into more than ten
thousand lots and cannot be expected
to develop while the conditions re-
main unimproved. It is located in Egg
Harbor Township and pays annually
thousands of dollars into the Town
ship treasury without any portion of
it being expended upon the Terrace.
The road could be improved at a small
cost, and we believe it would be a
profitable investment for the Town
ship. At any rate, we suggest that
the Township Committee overlook the
situation and give the matter their Sc
rious consideration. A list of persons
living in the Terrace at the present
time follows: Mr.. Under and wife,
Mr.. Renniger and wife, Mr.. Korte and
family, Mr.. Hersh and family, Mr.. Col
Inns and wife, Mrs. Stoeffer and fam
lily, Mr.. Gilmore and wife, Mr.. Parks
and wife, Mr.. M. o. Herb and family,
Mrs. Paterson and son, DR.. j. M. Cole,
Miss D. Weygand, Charles Wheatland
and wife. DIR. Barr and daughter.

BOARD CONTINUES TO
GRIND OUT ELICIBLES
Strenuous Work of Examiners
in Effort to Be Absolutely
Fair and Just To All.
LIST CALLED THIS WEEK
More than one hundred men are
now down on the lists as. available for
Atlantic County's first contribution to-
wards the National Army.

Examination of registrants will con-
tinue next Monday, Tuesday and Wed
nesday, and probably three or -four
weeks thereafter. 1t is the intention
of the Board to call as many as is nee
essary from which to select men with
out dependents. This will be at least
1 200, according to present indications.
If the claims of additional men for ex-
emption are denied, the number to be
called for examination will be reduced
proportionately. Some instances have
been called to the attention of the
Board Of married men whose wives
have been self-supporting and il it
proves true that these men have been
neglecting their families and contrib
uting little or nothing to their support
they stand a good chance of shoulder
ing arms. Their pay of $50 a month,
or any part of it, may be assigned to
their families and paid directly to
their dependents.
On new rulings received from the
Adjutant General changing the phys
zeal requirements, the Board this week
accepted Is who had been rejected for
defective teeth and underweight.
The Exemption Board is endeavor-
ing to be absolutely fair and impartial
in every instance and has an arduous
and serious task before it. Two hun
dred and fourteen men must be select
ed from those registered for the coun-
tvs quota and for everyone excused.
another nan has to take his place.
The Board has to consider not only
the man who wants to be excused or
is endeavoring to shirk his duty, but
the man next in order of call. The
first PA men on the list we're liable
for duty first, and the Board owes it
to every man further down the list to
see to it that no one escapes that duty
without just and sufficient cause.
The County Exemption Board con-
tinued their work at Mays Landing this
week, and passed the following as
physically qualified for service

ley, Nicholas D.. Abouds, Britton Adj

The writer of the Pleasantville base
ball news was present at Vineland on
Wednesday to see Vineland and Mill
vile play the game which practically
decided the championship of Cumber-
land County. The game was won by
Vineland with our own left fielder,
Ike" Nelson, holding down left field
for Vineland. And such a crowd to
see the camel 1t was wonderful
where close to four thousand people
came from. The field was chock full
of anxious rooters. The sum total of
the gate receipts must have been a
nice sum. If Pleasantville people
could only see the enthusiasm dis
played on these occasions they would
be ashamed to stay at home and see
such a team as ours go elsewhere to
play.
There is no doubt that Pleasantville
has the classiest team in all South
Jersey and has the poorest support.
The boys deserve some encouragement.
Other cities turn out to root for their
prides-uhy not PledsdntUilIes

Pleasantville plays at Bridgeton
again today. and there is no doubt
that they will win this game.
The reason Manager Risley is book
ing games away is that he can get
such good guarantees, which leaves a
handsome balance for the treasury
after expenses are taken out. No such
money can be made by playing home,
as the expense of procuring first class
teams and the upkeep of the grounds,
etc.. takes every cen collected at the
box Office.

PROGRESS MADE
On ALL FRONTS
AGAINST TEUTONS

NEW YORK, August 23-(Compiled
by the Associated Press from European
cables during the day)-Definite sue
cesses have been recorded for the
British in the Ypres section during
Yesterdays battle, the result of which
continues somewhat obscure, owing to
the stiff German resistance, and fierce
counter attacks. Whatever gains the
British make in this sector, it is ex.
pected, must be fiereely fought for, ow-
ing beth to the nature of the formida
bic defenses to be overcome and the
evident anxiety of the Teutons to
hold possession Of the Belgian coass
country at all costs.
The Italian war Office reports a con-
tinuance of the the great offensive
against the Austrians, the number Of
prisoners taken having been increased
today to a total. OF sixteen thousand
Furious fighting continues on the
Isonzo front, however, Rome reporting
further gains both on the northern and
southern wings of the line.
Petrograd reports that the Russians
were forced to retire in the face Of a
German offensive along the northern
end Of the line, where the Teutons de-
livered an intense artillery fire.
Fighting on the Verdun front is
dying down today, the French obiec-
tives north of the stronghold, appar-
emily, having been attained and held.

just completed dressing wounds of the
injured.
One hundred and eighty wounded
German prisoners were within the
hospital attacked, and the roof of the
structure was so marked that aviators
could make no mistake in the charac-

destroy.
The Russian retreat from the nor

terrain. Whether the Teutons expect
to sustain their offensive is not indi-

LITTLE OLD COTTON
IN LOCAL WAREHOUSES;

That the Americus warehouses are
practically empty of 1916 cotton is
evidenced by the fact that there are
only 155 bales OF the old crop now
being held in storage in this city.
There has been considerable dispo-
sition on the part of owners of 1916
cotton to part with their holdings at
the prevailing price levels, and while
no big sales have been reported with
il the last few weeks, there has beeH
a mere or less steady reduction in tn,
amount of old cotton held here.
The new crop continues to come in
with increased volume, although the
recent rains have interfered material
II with the movement AT the pres
ent market prices, planters are in
clined to dispose of their new cotton
and there appears to be fair demand
for the staple. local representatives OF
big cotton concerns having thus far
bought good share of the new crop
as it has been brought in.

WASHINGTON, D. c., August 23.-
The Russian internal situation contin-
ues to be the center of interest here
with mystery surrounding the charac-
ter of official dispatches during the last
forty-eight hours unchanged News
dispatches purporting to give later
news than unofficial dispatches, are
taken, unofficially, to mean an inter

There are indications in these re-
ports of re-adjustment of political
conditions within the new republic,
probably accompanied by undercur-
rents OF influential opinion, aiming at
the unseating of Kerensky, who now
holds the supreme authority, either
with counter revolution designed to
re-establish the Romanoff autoeraey.
