MONTANA Farmer, worth over ss5, 900
anxious for good wife. Address, r. 81
lth ST. San Francisco
Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1917-04-20

1t is reported that the Government
is considering the desirability or ne
cessity of proclaiming martial law as
a measure of protection against alien
enemy attacks upon munitions plants
and Government property. 1t would
seem after the Eddystone disaster that
the necessity for such action is clear.
1t is not necessary to put the whole
country under martial law, but it is
imperative that lives and property be
made safe. The Eddystone explosion
proves that they are not safe. Such
plants should be supervised by the
Government to see that danger from
carelessness and accident is minimized,
but it is quite as important to have
the military authorities guard against
conspiring ~terrorists.
One theory of the Eddystone explo-
sion is that alien enemies disguised as
women employees found occupation
in the munitions plant. Fortunately, ii
does not require proof to inspire the
owners of similar plants to take the
utmost precautions against a like dis
aster. Employment has always been
practically free ia this country. If q
man looked competent no boss stopped
for any investigation of his antece-
dents. The important question has been
not "Where did he come from ?n but
Scan he do the work?n During the war
that order of inquiry will have to be
reversed. The ammunition plants al
ready destroyed in this country have
been German victories in precisely the
same way that ships sunk by SUBJ
marines have been. Such victories be-
hind our lines must stop and private
initiative will be more valuable in pre-
veption than the work of the Secret
Service. There should be no second
Eddystone explosion, either from care
lessDess or design. Private employers
can do much to safeguard their plants,
but it is the duty of the authorities to
take the most drastic measures to
guarantee protection.-Brooklyn Eagle.

Lights of the Beaches Safe

How many million dollars would be
lost by Coney Island, Rockaway and
the New Jersey seaside places If the
Government should take measures to
make them dark at night for coast pro-
lection no man can figure out. The
night business means most to all these
places. So the reinsurance from Wash
ington is important. We do not know
what may happen before the war is
over, but for the present no such action
is contemplated, according to a state
ment by Secretary ofthe Navy Daniels,
and, in any case, till martial law is pro-
claimed the matter will be wholly In
the hands of local authorities.
So far as the civilian can see there is
no reason for darkening Coney Island
and the other resorts for citizens seek
ing ocean air and recreation. Ger
many's navy is locked up in the KieI
Canal. The submarines are the excep-
ton. That there is more danger with
lights than without lights from a sub
marine four thousand miles from its
base can hardly be imagined. Conceiv.
ably such a vessel might be used to
attack a port city in order to play
'frightfulness," but hardly against
Coney Island.
When the time comes for the sacri.
flee of lights at the beaches, if it ever
comes, we shall all bear the burden
c~heerfully, as we shall bear other bur.
dens. But Washington will go slow
and necessity will be waited for. That
means much to thousands of purvey-
ors of recreation and to millions who
enjoy the beaches every summer al
night.-Brooklyn Eagle.

Coast Artillery Visit Sea Isle City

The Wildwood Auxiliary Coast Ar
tillery, forty strong, under the com
mand of Captain O'Daniel attended q
large preparedness meeting In the new
school building at Sea Isle City last
Tuesday night, Webster Bright taking
them over in his large auto touring bus.
Arriving there they were received by
Professor Carroll. when Capt. O'Daniel
gave an exhibition drill; they made a
fine appearance and executed all the
military evolutions with precision and
skill, rejecting great credit upon their
instructor and also upon the City of
Wildwood.
The program was finely arranged by
Mr.. C~ollinson, of the Lutheran church,
who opened the meeting with prayer.
The school children sang the National
Anthem and the Battle Hymn of the
Republic. DR.. j.. Morgan Dix, of Cape
May Court House, made a stirring ad-
dress; the daughter of Gustave Morn
hinweg sang a beautiful ballad and
was lORC0SS0AJ ChSOlCOs 4AC PlluCt~
pal speech of the evening was made by
William II. Bright, the keynote Of
which, was for unity of action on the
part of the industrial army in making
preparations to offset the shortage in
the food supply, the practice of econo-
my in food consumption and the elm
iuation of waste and the planting of
gardens for vegetables by everyone.
Several lots were offered and accepted,
aud many enlisted to do their ''bit;"
the pastor of the Methodist church pro-
nounced the benediction.
The surprise of the evening came
when Gustave Mornhinweg, the popu-
lar baker, invited the entire party from
Wild wood to a fine luncheon at his
home. There assisted by his wife and
daughter and some lady friends, they
entertained and played the host to the
visitors so g~rsciously that the visitors
unanimously voted the Mornhin veg
family the best of people.

Organist Stackhouse Moves Il
Wildwood with his Family

jesse Stackhouse. organist and choir
master of the Church of the Resurrec-
ton, Philadelphia, has removed to
Wild wood for the summer and will
have charge of the music in st. Simeon's

portunity for the boys Of the island to
secure expert training in the use of the
voice and In reading but only a limited
number will be received. The first
meeting will be on Tuesday next, imme-

HANS UND FRITZ

Hans und Fritz, by R. Dirks, creator and originator of
the famous K~atzenjammer Kids, are at last to find their way
to the Wildwood stage. Hans and Fritz are a couple of nat,
ural born mischief makers who find delight in making life
burdensome for certain individuals, particularly the Captain
and his friend Schwanweizer. If you recall Schwanweizer,
you will remember that he is an understood Individual, who
is set on wooing Mother Katzenammer. For three acts YOU
are brought face to face with the comical heroes of cartoon
fame. Whatever they do is all in fun. The Captain and
Schwanweizer bear the brunt of their many tricks and Jokes
and manage to survive, while the audience is convulsed with
laughter. Special numbers and original songs have been
written for the offering, which employs besides the principals,
twenty pretty young women who know how to dance and sing
unusually well. The story of the play, besides concerning
the doings of Hans und Fritz, tells of the scheming of a man
who desires to win the hand of a woman who does not care
for him.

value of Physical Training

Statistics from Germany show that
under Physical Training, In connection
with school life, the chest measure Of
the German youth has increased an
average of three-quarters of an inch, as
against a shrinkage of three-eighths of
an inch for the same period in the youth
of England. In Switzerland, the num-
Der of yonths unable to pass physical
examination for military service de-
creased fifty-four per cent in five years
under school training. In 1912, 80 per
cent. of the boys in Switzerland passed
the test for Army service.
