WASHINGTON, D. C, Aug [.

 These regulations will govern the actual mobilization of the men selected for the new con sCriptiOn army. After they ar rive at their respective mobili- zation camps, the responsibilities of the provost generals office will cease and the men will be turned over to the field officers in charge.
 The work of transporting the men to their cantonment and pro- viding for their maintenance while enroute, is in itself a huge task, but is only one of the many General Crowder has been called upon to carry out.

I. \. RAILWAY Is UNDERGOING
 MANY REPAIRS

Although the Tanana Valley rail road was kept in pretty good shape under the old management, it is evi- dent from the manner in which the government is going at the wori that, by the time the repairs are finished, the road will be in better condition than it has been for sey- eral years. For considerable sum of money is being spent in repairs since the government took the road over, at various parts of the entire system between Fairbanks and Chata- nika
 About fifty men are employed in the work. They are working in three separate crews, one Of which has its headquarters in Fairbanks. The other two crews have their head quarters at the water tank on Gold stream and at Olnes respectively.
 The crew working out of Fair banks is in charge of John Roller. It works out as far as Happy sta ton, or the Goldstream-S Patrick divide. The Goldstream crew, under Ole Westley, works from the Happy divide to the Ridgetop summit. The remaining crew, under Frank Me Garvey, works from the top of the hill to Chatanika.
 By the time the work is completed this fall II, LOGO new ties will have been put in along various parts of the road. The flying Of the first snow will also see practically every bridge along the entire system made a. good as new, as extensive repairs are being made on them.

 SWISS NATION

>''S'
 WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. r. Confirmation of reports of the des- perate financial condition of the German government is contained in authoritative advices reaching the state department today that Ger many has demanded gold loan from Switzerland in return for coal which the latter country is import ing from the kaiser's kingdom
 The German government not only demands that Switzerland continue to pay spot cash in gold for the de livery of coal, but demands that the little republic make Germany a gold loan of considerable magnitude.
 The demand is accompanied by the threat that Switzerlands coal impor- tations from Germany will be cut off unless the loan is forthcoming.
 The mountain republic is solely de pendent upon coal from the central empires to operate her manufactur ing industries and is in no position to meet Germany's ultimatum on ac- count of the drain of financing her army of defense and conducting war relief work for all of the warning nations.

The July meeting of the Cliffside
Park Citizens Club held on Monday
evening at Carney Hall was marked
by an underlying current of protest
and complaint against matters great
and small, and evils near at hand as
well as at distance. 1t might be
that it was an echo of the strained
relations of the country in interna-
tional affairs, or possibly it was
merely the equally strained relations
in the summer atmosphere. Few
encomiums were heard for the natural
and other beauties of the Palisadian
Heights, known officially as Cliffside
Park; much was disclosed and set
forth which was of a detracting
rather than an attracting nature in
the civic and social conditions of the
borough.

Oh! You Press Agent!
Roast By N. Y. Herald

A deluSion that seems to be gain
ing in currency as the years roll by
is that newspapers are published for
the purpose of putting every one who
requests the favor, and especially
those who are unworthy of praise.
So many editors have weakly yielded
acquiescence to the stream of i'm
portunities that the once inconspicu-
GUS press agent, who worked under
his hat, has established himself in
a suite of handsomely furnished Of
fees and becomes manufacturer of
and dealer in publicity. His practice
is no longer confined to the theatrical
profession, once his chief means of
precarious support, but his clients
who are in society and others who
would like to be, great railroad and
other corporations, and individuals
who have taken upon themselves the
task of saving, the country.
OF the thousands who regard news
paper renown as either essential to
their material prosperity or crafty
ing to their vanity the few who do
not employ this huckster of fame are
their own press agents. Among the
last named class are many writer's,
for the most part obscure, who do not
hesitate to clamor, in person or by
letter, for praise that they have not
fairly won.
The press agent, whether he is dis
guised as a publicity solicitor" or a
social secretary" is not deceiving
the newspapers when they print his
offerings. He is only deluding his
employers, who, by dealing directly
with the newspapers would save the
money they pay to him.-New York

PdEydde Boy Gets
Into Navy At IL, Was
In The English Army


William F. Patterson, nephew of
Mrs. R. Reid, wife of the real estate
dealer at the Palisade Junction, has
joined the United States Navy, this
being another chapter in the rather
interesting life of the 17-year-old
Bergen county boy.
About two years ago young Patter-
son ran away. from home and his
relatives were alarmed, fearing, on
account of his extreme youth, that he
had met with foul play.
A short time later, however, the
mystery of his disappearance was
solved when it became known that ne
had entered the British army and
was then on his way t., the trenches
when a great amount of influence
succeeded in getting him back to his
parents.
AS soon as war was declared with
Germany, however, young Patterson
declared that he wanted he was per-
suaded to remain in Bergen county
for time, he has again donned g
uniform and is now a jackie in the
United States Navy.-Record.

Editor Palisadian,

Dear Sir:
At recess meeting Of the Mayor
and Council Of Cliffside Park held on
July IL, it was voted to levy tax
this of $4,000 to meet the borough
expenses for the current year of 1917.
For the past three years there has
been no increase in the nnual amount
raised for this purpase, namely ST.
500. This year there is an increase
of $500 due chiefly to increased ex-
penses to the borough because of the
war, and of cur police department.
Yet Notwithstanding this increase in
expenses little common sense financ-
ing would avoid the necessity of TAX
ing this additional $500 out of the
pockets of the taxpayers. The
amount of tax to be raised need not
be increased over the annual amount
raised for the last three years, name
ly, $27 500. The borough has left
over from previous years an uneX-
pended balance of over $4,000 which
is available to meet current borough
expenses. This unexpended balance
consosts of unpaid taxes more than
half of which are taxes levied for the
years 1914, 1915 and 1916. These
taxes are perfectly good assets bear
ing from seven to ten per cent in
~terest, and our sinking fund commits
sion, or any bank, would gladly loan
the borough money on them as Sc
curity at six per cent interest until
! the lakes are paid in.a. Such being

Cifside Red Cross
Wants More Women
To Help Great Work

In the coolest spot in town, among
the groups of the incest women in
town, there is the best and most help
full work of to-day being accomplish
ed every Monday afternoon.
There is room, however, for more
of the "nicest women" who will find
the inspiration of numbers and the
social atmosphere very effective in
making still easier the simple sewing
required.
From two until quarter to five in
the light and airy basement of the
Lawton avenue school, around vari-
GUS tables are gathered groups, each
working according to taste and abil-
ity, on bed linen, bandages, pajamas,
invalid garments or knitting, each
one happy in the feeling that she is
doing her "bit" in relieving the suf-
ferings of those who are out on the
"firing line," among unspeakable
conditions and sufferings.
Now, won't you come and edo your
bit 2" Perhaps it will be your boy,
or your husband, or your brother,
presently, whose sufferlngs need TO
be relieved and for whom there will
not be enough Of these comforts and
necessities because you didn't do your
part.
Summer is your "rest time" but a
couple of hours in a cool room with
congenial companions is small sac
rifice of personal inclination and
those noble fellows on the other side
have to fight and face death and suf-
fering, whether the weather is hot
or cool, clear or rainy, so they can't
wait until you have no other engage
ments or the weather is just what
you want.
If every member of the Red Cross
in this borough turned out to work
there could not be too much accom-
plished, and warm welcome awaits
all who come.
