Miss Donaldson Was
Victim Of Outrage

A vicious attempt to assault Miss
Vivian Donaldson was reported to
the Police Department of Cliffside
Park last Tuesday evening and in a
few minutes officers and band of
enraged citizens were scouting
through the wooded section of Edge
ture the culprit.
Miss Donaldson, II year old daugh-
ter of Prof. and Mrs. George Donald
son, was returning to her home and
had crossed over short cut through
the brush, when hearing steps be-
hind her she quickened her pace.
Feeling safe because directly in front
of her were the homes of Mrs. Blue
and the Nuts, she felt no fear; but
without warning the youth seized her
from behind, pinioning her arms to
her side. Miss Donaldson struggled
and screamed and in the struggle
both fell to the ground. The assail-
ant, thoroughly alarmed, rushed off
and Miss Donaldson rushed to her
home.
The ponce were notified immediate
ly but no trace of the youth could
be found. Miss Vivian gave the po-
lice officers good description of the
culprit, who, had he been found
would have been dealt with severely
by the hand of citizens who were
thoroughly angered
That this bold, brazen attempt
should be made in broad daylight in
close proximity to homes is mighty
mysterious. Sections adjoining Cliff
side Park harbor class of people
of ill repute, chiefly foreigners, and
no doubt it is these people who are
mainly responsible for the present
scare

Many Shots Alarms
Palisdian Residents,
Tue Boys Caught

Two young boys, George Woholle-
ben, IS, of 166 Morningside avenue,
New York, and Edward Dixon, 10,
of Al West End avenue, New York,
came to Palisade Thursday evening
and got gay with firing pistol in
the woods north of Bluff road along
Palisade avenue. About eight o'clock
a number of shots were heard, and
police headquarters was at once no
titled by a "Palisadian" reporter.
An officer, Policeman Heft, was
sent Immediately out on the hunt for
the shooters. He did not proceed far
before he came across three boys near
the car tracks, and captured two OF
them named above. The third ran
away. The boys were taken to Re-
corder Shehan, who heard the boys
story and let them go with repre-
mand. The third boy escaped. Quite
lot of excitement was created by
the shooting as no one knew the
cause of it. The boys were out on a
very stormy night, and mush have
enjoyed themselves.

Marriage OF Kitty"
Next Thursday Night

On next Thursday evening, April
IL, theatrical performance will be
staged at Carney Hall by the Com
munity Players. "The Marriage of
Kitty" a three-act comedy, is one,
of the finest of the series of plays
that will be given by this organiza
ton that has been formed to present
entertainments acted by amateur
talent that carefully trains to bring
the art of acting to high plane.
Miss Octavia Stone, of Edgewater,
has been aptly chosen to play the
part of Kitty, country maiden
Miss Stones talent fits her for this
part splendidly and she is well sup
ported by the following cast: Mr..
Boyd Clark, who has coached the
players and is staging the perform
ance, as Sir Reginald Belsize, mar
ries Kitty in an endeavor to carry out
the instructions of a will and hopes
to ultimately fill his desire. Mr..
Fred Rollins plays the part of Kitty's
guardian, John Travers and Mrs. G..
G. Yeaton as Nine de Semiano, the
Peruvian widow, are both well fitted
for their parts. Miss Bazin as Rosa
line and Lou Geayer as Norbory fill
out the cast
The story of the play is an unusual
one and the love theme is treated in
a novel fashion. A synopsis of the
story, written by Cosmo Gordon
LenoX as follows:
Being left unprovided for, Miss
Kitty Silverton goes to her guardian,
John Travers, and lays her case be-
fore him. On the other hand Sir
Reginald Belsize has been left a for
tune on the condition that he shall
marry forwith-but no widow or a
Peruvian, his clause being aimed at a
Belsize is deeply in love. Travers
conceives the plan Of Belsize going
through the form of marriage with
Kitty and at once separating. After
an inerval a divorce shall be OBJ
tanned and Belsize left free to marry
his Peruvian. This plan is only par
TALLY carried out, as Belsize gradually
falls in love with his real wife and
foresakes the charms of Madame de
Semiano.
The coaching and staging Of the
show by Mr.. Boyd Clark, profess
sional of much experience, is sure
sign of success. Mr. Clark has been
director of the London Little Theatre.
He left England and went Chicago,
where he managed and saged many
plays at the Chicago Little Theatre.
He has high hopes of firmly establish
ing the Community Players as a
permanent institution and has sew
eral good plays under advisement,
all to be produced and acted by local
talent this season.

-FRIGHTFULNESS' BY
2
BRITON IN LAUSANNE
Ripe Tomato Bombardment
Routed a "Gott Strafe Eng
land" Couple.

The latest tale Of frightfulness
comes from Lausanne. In one Of the
most fashionable restaurants recently
all the tables were occupied except
two small ones not far from each
other, when a man and a woman, un-
mistakably German, entered. The
woman wore q light wrap, but when
she had seated herself at one of the
tables she removed it and it was seen
that she wore on her expansive bosom
nm enormous brooch with the inscrip-
Eion in brilliants, Scott Strafe Eng
aand."
A few moments later an English
man, accompanied by a countrywom-
an, seated himself at the other table.
THE inscription on the brooch imme-
diately attracted their attention, and
indignation. Sending for a head wait
ier, the Englishman said to him that
such violation of good taste In a neu-
tral country was an insult that could
mot be borne. He told the waiter to
anform the German that the ordinary
scivilities would suggest that the
Brooch worn by his companion should
be taken off.
The head waiter had little stomach
for such a job, and feebly demurred,
whereupon the Englishman rose and
I'm excellent French addressed the Ger
mans. In a clear voice he repeated
what he had said to the head waiter,
but, except for supercilious shrug Of
the shoulders, the Germans gave no
levidence that they had heard his re-
anarks, although everyone else in the
restaurant understood what he had
said and looked their sympathy.
The Engllshran, without showing
any signs of anger, reseated himself
picked up menu and gave his order
80 the waiter. When the soup was
served the waiter also brought on a
platter a dozen large ripe tomatoes,
which were placed on the table. The
Englishman and his companion, after
finishing their soup, deliberately pick
ed up the tomatoes and rained upon
the two Germans the ripe vegetables,
splattering their faces and breasts
with the soft, juicy contents.
The applause and laughter Of the
other diners appraised the objects Of
this novel form of reprisal that they
could find no support or sympathy and
they fed from the restaurant in great
precipitation. "Let them 60" an
nounced the Englishman. "I will pay
their bill"

Socialism, even TO its ultimate con-
sequences, is international in spirit.
1t imposes upon the socialists Of 9TH

with others I have, since the begin
ling Of the war, in every possible way,
in the most public manner, defended
and upheld this socialistic policy; and

WOMEN ARE URGED TO
KNIT FOR SOLDIERS
Causing Shortage of Wool in
Making Fancy Sweaters for
Personal Use.

"Stop knitting bright-colored sweat
ers of WOOL is the message that the
woman's committee of the council of
national defense is sending out to the
women of the United States.
Miss Hannah ]. Patterson made this
statement to the members of the COM
mittee: "WhIle nurses and soldiers in
France are sending appeals to the Red
Cross for sweaters, bed socks, wrist
let's, helmets-in fact for six million
articles of clothing which call for
wool, hundreds of women in the Unit
ed States are using up enough wool
in fancy sweaters to equip the greater
part Of the army. With knitting yarn
advanced in price and with an urgent
demand for wool from the Red Cross
society and elsewhere, 1t Is imperative
that we send out a call to our sisters
to do their bit in the war by making
this sacrifice. A woman should feel
the greatest sense of shame in the pos
session of more than one woolen sweat
er, and it is the duty Of women con-
nected with war work in this great
army, which Is under the direction of
the women's committee, to make this
point clear. There is a cry of distress
directly from the soldiers and nurses
In France in personal letters written
to members of this committee. 1t does
not seem possible that American SOL
diers should have to shiver in open
trenches during a terrible winter in
northern France because the women
of America choose to have from six to
ten sweaters apiece made Of material
which is needed by the government"

Let 1t Be Said Of Me

Let it be said Of me-
Not that | strove and ran and won the prize,
And blocked the way when others sought to rise;
Not that my voice was heard in wild hurrah
When ancient licence posed, as higher law;
Not that my eyes were blind when sham was set
To dazzle folly into mild regret;
Not that my ears were deaf to sob and cry
Beneath the wheels when splendor hurried by.
Let it be said of me-
Wherever there was holy cause to serve,
Or hearts that ache or peris that unnerve:
Wherever there was arduous task to do,
path to light, duty to pursue:
Wherever there child to wrest from wrong,
Or weary soul athirst for love and song,
Wherever slaves of time cried to be free
My hand was reached-et it be said of me.
