Hung Flag Upside
Down; Loses His Pole

The alleged ardent pro-Germanism
Of Frank Reiner, 46, a retired silk
manufacturer of SO Poplar street,
Jersey City Heights, has caused him
the loss of a flag pole which projected
from the porch in front of his home.
According to the facts obtainable
Reiner awoke one morning recently
and found that the pole had been
chopped down during the night. Just
who chopped down the pole is not
known, but at any rate Reiner imme-
diately visited the First Criminal
Court and obtained a warrant for the
arrest of his son, Alfred, whom he
accused of the offense.
According to neighbors, Alfred is
in the army and does not share the
Teutonic leanings of his father. The
warrant was placed in the hands of
the Sixth Precinct police for service,
but they have been unable to find
the son. They deny that he is in the
army and say it is likely that his
fathers accusation is correct. Others,
however, are inclined to believe that
people living in the immediate vicin-
ity chopped down the pole. 1t is said
that they did so after Reiner had re-
fused to put his flag on the pole right
side up when a policeman notified
him that it was on the pole upside
down.

New Work Started In
Church Is: Applied
Christianity Labor

Eugene M. Camp, acting president
of the Institute of Applied Christian
ity of New York, made a stirring ap-
peal to the churches and churchmen
Of America at>tlife- 6SecantWa5d ,Congre5
gational Church en- Sunday evening
to prepare themselves by increased
efficiency and improvement of bust
ness methods to meet the social and
spiritual crisis which was bound to
come with the cessation of the war.
Mr.. Camps appearance was the
first step in the movement to establish
a Palisades branch, or Guild, of the
New York Institute, and was given
a most cordial reception. The plan,
in a word or two, is to present a
series of eight monthly meetings at
different centers of the Palisades to
be addressed by experts in the vari-
Gus departments of church activity
and education. Stress is to be laid
on the enlistment of men for field
duty in the Church and the commune
ty. 1t is hoped that the principal
speaker will be Bishop Burch Of New
York. The Institute will be repre-
scented on the Palisades by William S.
B. Dana of Grantwood as resident
secretary.

Recruits Wanted
Of Various Kinds

The Quartermaster Enlisted Re-
serve Corps with recruiting station at
357 Broadway, New York City is
still enlisting men who will be called
upon to follow their civilian occupa-
lions in the army.
At this time there is particular
need for the following list of men:
Transfers, horse-men, farriers,
horseshoers, carpenters, bakers, cooks,
saddlers, stenographers and typists.
Approximately thousand team
sters and horsemen are wanted in the
Eastern Department alone and almost
innumerable numbers of carpenters
could be used, and about so each of
farriers and horseshoers are needed.
These men will be enlistd as pri-
Yates and as they prove their ability
and worth, numbers of them will be
promoted to higher grades as wagon
masters, farriers and horseshoers, and
overseer of labor.
Application should be made at once
at the new recruiting station at 357
Broadway, New York City, where
men will be examined and sworn into
service They will then be allowed
week or more to settle their affairs,
after which they will be called into
active service to be uniformed, train
ed in some degre and sent to their
assignments throughout the country.

guessed, without criticism, in the act
creating the State road system. Nor
have they even questioned the COM
panion act giving to Governor Edge
great political power. for good or evil
by vesting in him the appointment of
the administrators who are, directly
or indirectly, to control the employ
ment of thousands of men and the
expenditure of many millions of dol
lars. While the technique of both
of these Edge acts may be criticized,
enlightened Democrats who believe
that State road system must begin
somehow and somewhere, are not
now raising any question about these
matters. Nor do they question the
motives or good faith of Governor
Edge.
"What we are Directing to is not
the road building program, or its adj
ministrative features, but the wholly
unscientific and unjust system of
State taxation, provided in sepa-
rate act whereby it is proposed to
raise the money to pay the bills. A
road tax act, which affects the citi-
zens of every municipality in the
State, but which distributes it's be-
dens without any regard to benefits
received is surely open to question
and criticism. There is involved, not
matter of technique, but of very
vital principle, and if Mr.. Tumulty
were better acquainted with the facts
think he would agree with this point
of view"

The Boy With The Apple.

The laborer is entitled to wages;
the capitalist is entitled to interest
on his capital; the community is en-
titled to land rent. What is the land
owners entitled to? Like the boy with
the apple when the other boy asked
for the core. "There amt going to
be no core" And there faint going to
be no land owner" when the commu-
nifty takes it's own again.
Of course the house builder or any
one who improves the land is CAPT
talisS lthough--Me call him a land
Qrd,D and he is entitled to house
rent, This reform can only come oy
Constitutional Amendment. There
fore all citizens must be educated
along Constitutional lines. There can
be no division between "classes" and
MASSES" which only leads to civil
war. Now that negro slavery is abol-
ished we can all see the benefits as
CURED. No one today is willing to
have that institution re-established,
this being the result of the education
of the public by political example. So
will it be when the land is made free.
Everybody will say, "why, I've al
ways been in favor of that"
This Reform will come about by the
first sbolishing all personal property
taxes; then by decreasing taxes on
improvements (houses, fences, etc.
and as gradually increasing the annu-
al taxes on land values until they are
absorbed.

Republicans For
Local Option At The
State Convention

Trenton, Oct 3.-The Republican
State convention meeting here yes
terday pledged the party to local OPP
ton on the liquor question except in
so far as candidates who made pre-
primary pledges are concerned. The
adoption of the resolution was mark
ed with considerable enthusiasm.
The local option plank as adopted
reads:
"We favor the principle of major
ity rule, commonly spoken of as To-
cal option, on the liquor question,
and the enactment of such legislation
and we recommend to our candidates
favorable action to that end, in so far
as primary promises will permit"
Assemblyman Walter G. Whine, of
Bergen, was made permanent secrc-
tary of the convention, and Senator
w. B. Mackay was member of the
Committee on Resolutions.

Handy Men Wanted
By Engineers For
United States Army

In addition to the five regiments,
Engineers, National Army, hereto
fore announced, orders have been is
sued and received by Major j. E.
Bloom, U. S. A. Recruiting Officer, 266
Market Street, Newark, N. j., announ-
cling the organization of additional
regiments and companies of engin-
GERS, including five additional regi-
ments for the construction of standard
gauge railways Gas distinguished
from the q sEtngineers for light
railway, or narrow gauge railway
construction). In addition to regi-
ments for construction, there are also
separate organizations for operation;
and for mechanical or shop work.
The said Railway Regiments of En-
gineers for the standard gauge rail
ways are designated: 18th, 18th 10Th,
18th and 18th Engineers, N. A.
Provision is also made for the or
ganization of an Engineers Supply
Service, comprising battalions of en-
gineers Supply of three companies
and battalions of engineers work
SnOp) OIL IHTSc COHlpdIllcS.
Where an applicant for enlistment
in the Engineers cannot b assigned
definitely to a particular regiment,
then such is enlisted for the Engin-
GERS, Unassigned, National Army, and
sent to Washington, D. c., for assign
ment, after enlistment.
Too much emphasis cannot be made
of the fact that any handy man with
tools has too much opportunity of
learning a mechanical trade in the
engineers which will make him more
highly skilled artisan upon his return
from the service; and therefore any
man between the ages of Is and 40 is
advised to volunteer before existing
vacancies are filled from other Statse.
Applicants should b made prefer
ably in person, either at the office or
any of the branch recruiting stations;
to wit:
Paterson-269 Main street.
Passaic-215 Main avenue.
Elizabeth-55 Broad street.
Trenton-103 E. State street.

Forest Fire-NOtice.

am glad to see forest fire notices
tackled up in various places, because
these dangerous and wasteful fires
ought to be prevented at all hazards.
Many people wantonly set fire to grass
just to see the blaze especially when
there is high wind blowing. 1t is
a form of pyromania. Sings Tom
Hood in "Don't you smell FIRE."
How sweetly the sparks fly away now
And twinkle like stars in the sky
It's a wonder the engines don't play
now,
But | never saw water so shy.
Oh dear! what beautiful flash!
How it shone through the window
and door;
We shall soon hear a scream and a
crash,
When the woman falls through with
the floor!
There! There! what volley of flame,
And then suddenly all is obscured!
Well-I'm glad in my heart that |
came:-
But hope the poor man is insured!
This exactly describes the state of
mind in the fool that sarts forest
fires.

An Atheists Challenge.

Last Friday on Evangelical speaker
on Madison Square saw fit to COM
pare the average physical condition of
the professor of Christianity with
that of the Atheists. A small athe-
list, almost as broad as he was long,
took up the challenge, but of course
nothing came of it, though it would
have been friendly bout with gloves.
l was irresistibly reminded of DR..
Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde. This time, DR..
Jekyll, in my opinion would have won.
Still, it is never good to make such
tests; in fact, it is forbidden" Thou
shalt not tempt (or test by expert
ment, the Lord, thy God to prove his
existence). This nullifies all scienti-
fic experiments.

cidentally stepped on a snake the
