neutral countries while 1t has inflict-
ed comparatively little additional
damage upon the enemies of Ger
many. Yet in the light of this ines
capable fact the apostles of frightful-
ness at Berlin have piously affected
surprise when neutral countries have
refused to treat with them on any
peaceful terms.
Neutrals have suffered tremendous
losses since the war began. An official
report to the American secretary of
state shows the 6S6 neutral ships.
including nineteen American, have
been sunk by German submarines
and that seventy-nine others, includ-
ing eight American, have been I'M
successfully attacked. Since the ma
jority of these neutrals had a real
grievance against the central empires
even prior to the declaration OF ruth
less warfare.
The most significant fact about the
departments statistics, however, is
that since unrestricted warfare went
into effect, more than one-third of
the vessels sunk have been non-belli-
gerent flags. In other words the
weight of the new sea policy was
thrown against neutrals. Germany
was sinking all enemy ships she could
sink prior to that time, and resOlv-
ed to bully every nation that insisted
on considering the sea free nigh
way.
1t certainly is not surprising that
such a policy of open contempt for
the whole world was challenged by
the world. Not only self-interest but
civilization itself demanded that such
terrorism be checked.

WARNING OF LONG WAR

Secretary Lane is man not dispos-
ed to talk in riddles or to resort to
hyperbole to get into print. or all the
members of the Presidents cabinet
highest confidence of the people. and
that deservedly. for Mr.. Lane is an
official of more than ordinary ability
and breadth of vision.
When Franklin X. Lane says I'M
equivocally, therefore, that the Ger
man submarine is SERIOUS menace"
and that it actually threatens the eX-
istence of England and France and
alarms the United States. it is time for
the American people to give heed.
and to resolve that the thing which
he implies might happen, shall not
happen 1t is time for the United
States to take a solemn vow. through
its individual citizens, that Germany,
which threatens the destruction of
the world, shall not accomplish her
ruthless purpose.
We do not believe that Mr.. Lane,
in predicting that the war will last
for several years, is talking without
information. He is in the Presidents
confidence, and in a sense is his
spokesman. He is member of the
council of national defense. and in
a position to know the secrets of the
war with Germany. His proximity to
the facts of out contest of arms with
Germany gives him the right to speak
with absolute authority.
The allied war missions have not
understated the seriousness of the
situation They realize that Germany
is not beaten. The thoroughness with
which the United States is preparing,
largely through information gained
from the innermOst councils of the
allies. shows that the. HOhenZOllern
dynasty is not on the point OF being
crushed and that the task OF over
throwing it and restoring peace to the
world is going to be hard. grim bust
ness, which will involve the full re-
sources of the most powerful nations.
The further fact that enormous loans
are being made to the entente nations
proves conclusively that those cOun-
tries realize the magnitude of the
task which still confronts them.
1t seems strange that the world
cannot quickly overturn two compar-
atively small countries of Central
Europe, even though they have spent
four decades in preparing for war.
Yet it is useless to blink the truth.
After nearly three years of war those
militaristic nations are fit for long
defensive struggle on land, and by
the unrestricted use of submarines
are imperiling two of their principal
foes.
The ultimate outcome is not in
doubt. Germany must and will be brot
to defeat The allies properly refuse
now to consider the kaiser's terms,
knowing victory is certain. But they
confess the fight is not over. And
America, just going into the struggle,
may as well, while hoping for short
war, prepare for a long one.

Burning Auto Truck @
Rushes Fire Ladies'
In Sweltering Heat

An alarm of fire was sounded in
Palisade last Wednesday night about
nine o'clock. The firemen came out
in hot (very hotD haste, and found
more weather than blaze.
They got out both reels, but after
putting out their lung and heart
values getting to Anderson avenue
from whence the lurid sky came, they
found their services too late and not
wanted anyhow.
A big moving van auto truck had
gone along Central boulevard and in
some way had caught fire. 1t was
laden with furniture. There wasn't
ghost of show for the truck away
over a quarter mile from Anderson
avenue, so it yielded to the shooting
flames and went the way of all things
undane that monkey with match or
tourchtorch.
Anyhow, the fire ladies had nice
summer evenings drill, and as d. A..
Carson, the humorist said "Twant no
fun tall"
The Palisade firemen put out the
ruins of the truck.

Um-um-a real, deliciou treat is
coming and it's going to be a regular
clambake-eats and the finest posi-
bic to be fixed up in the most appetiz-

The affair will be held the first Sun
day in September, and the committee
hope to be able to complete arrange
ments at the next regular meeting
of the company, on Wednesday night,
August s. Tickets, including two
persons will cost three dollars.
Cliffside Park will be on the base
ball map tomorrow and on to stay.
A big league attraction is the magnet
that will draw the hundreds of local
fans to Hackensack to see our own
boys play Oritain, one of the lead
ing teams in East Bergen.
Practically the same lineup will
represent Cliffside Park as con-
templated for last Sundays game.
The battery will be either Griffin or
Herscher, but other positions are still
in doubt as Manager John Cadien
wants the best possible aggregation
to get out on the diamond.
The game scheduled for last Sun
day will be played this Sunday,
Englewood sending her strongest
team down and several of the lead
ing players in the Bergen County
League win be pitted against our
local players.
Both games will be humdingers.
Players and fans will leave the juno
ton on Saturday at two o'clock.
The Sunday game will be called at

Men Who Married
Since June Fiue May
Not Have To Go No,y

Trenton, July 27.-Information
which the Adjutant- Generals De-
partment has just received from
Provost Marshal General Crowder for
the guidance of exemption boards
shows that the physical and material
status of those who registered for
military service on June will not
be that upon which claims for ex-
emption will be considered, but
rather registrant's situation at the
time of his call to the colors. This
means that those who have married
since the day of registration, June s,
will probably be exempted on the
FOUND of having wives to support.
~ this respect the letter of General
81 ttJowder reads:
eff the person called is then mar
ried latter June s. and has a wife
at that time dependent upon his
labor, in the sense in which that term
is used in the rules and regulations,
it would seem that he could be dis
charged from the service, if, in the
opinion Of the board, the claim is
substantiated.
The Selactive Service Act does not
make the liability to military service
dependent upon June or any other

Local Option Issue
And Political Leaders
Are Picking States

Trenton, July 26-With local op-
ton and home rule looming up as one
of the biggest issues in the campaig,
this fall, state political leaders are
bestirring themselves on the legisla-
tive states for the primaries, which
will be on September Is. There has
been considerable talk the past few
days at the State House as to the
Republican candidates for the Assem-
bly,, where it is admitted the local
option battle will center.
James e. Shields, superintendent
of the New Jersey Anti-Saloon
League, declares that the fight will
be to finish. The local option forces
are preparing to combat the plan of
Senator Richards, of Atlantic county
to pass a local option bill with a
Statewide referendum.
THAT proposition is only a subter-
fuge," declared Mr.. Shields to-day
and would defeat the very purpose
of local option, of course we are go
ing to fight it."
Atlantic county Republicans will
have an entire new Assembly ticket
this year, as Assemblyman Bertram
E. Whitman, of Pleasantville, was
last winter appointed to the County
Tax Board, and Irving P. Parsons, of
Atlantic City, will not run again. 1t
is practically certain that the candi-
dates will be Dr. Underwood Coch-
ran, a well known Atlantic City real
estate operator, and William A.
Blair, wealthy young farmer, of Ell
wood. There is also some talk of
Mayor Ralph Harcourt, of Longport,
entering the Assembly race, but it is
understood that the other two will
have the support of the county lead
ers.
