Buenos Aires Sept. 27.-Destttu-

Argentine's nationwide strike today
Many infants and invalids whose deaths
were reported succumbed because OF
the milk famine. Violent clashes be-
tween strikers and police were report
ed. More workingmen Joined the
movement today and the industries of
the city were at a standstill. Mean
while, the government was energet-
ically seeking arbitration, and mark
ing time on its decision as to Argen-
tines future course toward Germany.
Public realization that pro-German
money and German agents are aiding
the strikers has served to put a pow
erful impetus behind the movem ent
for break with the Teutons.
Today the prospects for any imme-
diate settlement of the strike were
hopeless. Every class of labor Is now
effected. Even housemaids are con-
sidering a walkout. The gas company
employees quit today. Two Of tho city's
street car lines were tied up and the
strikers stoned the crews and as
saulted passengers on some of the
cars Not wheel is turning on any

FORMAN WINNER BY
ABOUT 50 VOTES
More Polls are Heard from and
Result Is No Longer
in Doubt.

AS the result of more polls in the
county being heard from late this
morning there is no doubt but what
Charles Forman, of New Brunswick,
defeated Elmer s. Wyckoff for the
shrievalty nomination on the Repub-
lican ticket. Semi official figures give
Forman the election by sixty votes,
the total number of votes cast in his
favor being 2231 as compared with
2171 for Wyckoff. OF the eighty-six
polls in the county all but the first
poll of Roosevelt, the second of Say
reville and the complete returns from
Perth Amboy, have been filed in the
county clerks office.
The returns from the second poll of
Sayreville give Forman twenty-eight
and Wyckoff twenty-three. The first
poll of Roosevelt gave Forman thir-
ty and Wyckoff five.
The figures at noon today with the
eleven polls missing gave Forman
1000 votes and Elmer e. Wyckoff,
his opponent, 1886. Although not
given Forman 1875 and Wyckoff 1872
votes, meaning q gain of four more
votes for Forman.
One of the polls which had been
missing UP to noon was the first OF
Roosevelt. As the second and third
of this district had given Forman the
preference about four to one, 1t look
ed as If Forman's lead would be
strengthened. One poll in Dunellen
was also unheard from, but the other
poll in that place had given Wyckoff
and Forman about the same number
of votes.
Forman Gains Votes.
In spite Of the fact that WyclSoff lead
Forman by more than 900 votes at the
county seat this lead was slowly pick
ed up about the county. Perth Amboy

the entire county where neither of
these men secured a ballot.
In addition to securing the greatest
vote In New Brunswick, Wyckoff also

EXTRA Squirt FOR
LIBRARY WAR FUND
Committee to Meet
Tonight-Effort Today to
Collect Funds.

1t is a.
be made duI1ne s,.ays OF
this week IL Perth Amboy's apportion-
ment of $4,000 for the Library War
Fund Is to be made up. The mayors
committee will meet again tonight at
the public library to receive reports
and an effort Is being made today to
collect the funds pledged.
This fund is to erect buildings in
the different camps for the purpose Of
housing the books and to employ ex-
pert librarians to care for the books
and look after their distribution, the
same as In any city. When this Is un-
derstood 1t can readily be seen what
the money now being collected will be
used for In addition to buying books
to fill the shelves. For some time the
library association has been appeal
ing for old books and magazines. but
the response Is not nearly sufficient to
meet the demand.
Realizing that there are q great
many demands on the people at this
time, those who visit the boys at
Camp Dix. Wrightstown, see at
glance what good reading means to
the boys. The necessity Is pressing,
not only at Wrightstown but in every
similar camp throughout the country
Besides, 1t should not be forgotten
that the sailor boys, afioat and
ashore, are to be provided for as we'll
as the soldiers.
The sailor, perhaps, has more time
to read than the lad learning to be O
soldier just at present. Day after day
the fleet rides at anchor ready for
duty at moments notice, but until
the call comes the boys have much
time on their hands, and they in
variably beg for something to read.
1t is to get this reading to them in
the most efficient manner that this
fund is being raised.
1t Is not much that is asked of a
city like Perth Amboy, but with every
city raising its apportionment the
million dollars will be at hand and
the work of the National Library
Association, working under the d.
rection of the Secretary OF War, can
be accomplished.
A little from each person would
soon raise the $4,000 that is Perth
Amboy's share. You can send or
leave your money at the Public
Library, or address II direct to the
treasurer OF the mayors committee,
Mr.. T. ID. Waring, care of the Public
Library.
The help of everyone is needed to
put this across and TO score again
for Perth Amboy.

American Army Headquarters,
France. Sept. 27-American army
engineers sleeping In their barracks
have been under fire from German
airmen. Not an American was hurt
despite fussilade of machine gun
fire from the air which riddled the

they sat about In groups, some In

played poker by candlelight until the
raiders were dispersed.
Note-This is the first time that
the barracks of an American army
contingent has been the object of
German aerial attack. Details con-
cerning the date and time cannot be
given. The barracks attacked was
not the first time members of the en-
gineers' contingent have been under

getting hardened to the sensation OF
being shelled. This is especially true

The members of the company, in

people come on week days whenever
possible, as the automobiles are so
thick on Sundays that traffic is very
dangerous.

they are by every company in camp.

TUMULTY DEPLORES
PARTYS ACTION
Presidents Secretary Not in
Sympathy With Attack on
Edges Road Program.
By Cnited Press.

DU CHU6Q ST6aS
Trenton, Sept. 27:-Joseph T..
Tumulty. secretary for President
Wilson, and whose speech for the
National administration in New Jer-
sey matter, is not in sympathy with
the attack of the Essex county Dem
ocratio organization on Governor
Edges program for q comprehensive
road system in the state In answer
to inquiry with reference to the stu
alton, Secretary Tumulty said:
THE future of the Democratic
party in New Jersey must rest upon
a constructive foundation. Clear away
from petty party criticism and fault
findings of all kind, either present or
past Republican administration. De-
structive criticism is not the stuff
out of which constructive programs
and policies are made. An example
of the kind of fault-fndings which
progressive Democrats Of New Jersey
must turn away from at this stage
of constructive things Is that which
is now directed against the So called
Edge bill which provides for scien-
tific system of good roads.
II do not know anything about the
alleged constitutional features of this
legislation. nor am | willing to I'M
pugn the motives of Gov. Edge or
those surrounding him who have sup
ported him In this legislation.
THE fact is that the question of
procuring good roads by means of
which the various cities and towns of
New Jersey may be knit together in
closer union is of paramount i'm
portance, as effecting the state and her
future. I am not interested in the
technique of this legislation. Beyond,
this a discussion of its unconstitu-
tional feature is mere by-play. Gov
ernor Edges motive will be tested by
the way he goes about the work of
completing and consummating the OBJ
ject of this legislation.
