miles, but except near GonneIieu,
the Germans have been repuIsed
with heavy losses.
Crown Prince Rupprecht evil
IDENTITY meant to make amends for
his defeat by crushing tho now
salient by attacks all along tho
front and with especially strong
efforts along tho north end, with
the apparent plan Of driving north
and south, and cutting off the Brit
ish east Of tho line from Moeuvres

On the northern flank and west
Of Cambrai the German attack was
crushed by artillery and machine
qun fire, and heavy losses inflicted.

Thieves almost Take
Away Clifside Park
Fairgrounds Bodily

Palisade is not the only place
where Fairgrounds are not safe from
thieves and depredators who invade
them and take everything movable
away. Down in Cliffside, the new
Fairgrounds have had an awful time
keeping anything at all in sight. This
winter the fine wire backstop that
cost about $75 was taken away bodily,
and some time ago the dressing
house, the size of garage, was en-
tered and all the plumbing re-
moved. The doors and window
frames have been stolen, and Supt.
Bray, of the Public Schools, feels
that it is useless to try and have any
thing there at all, though the play
ers who use the Fairgrounds for
baseball are greatly inconvenienced.
One of these days they will have con-
crete dressing rooms that cannot be
carried away, and concrete backstops,
also.

Another Robbery
At Palisade P. O.
And Wolfpert's Store

There was another burglary last
week at the Palisade Postoffice store
and in Joseph Wolpert's next door in
the same building According to re-
ports, the opening took place near
daylight, and while the loss was not
as large as the one that took place
some weeks ago, at the same time, it
amounted to quite sum. Not SO
much was taken from Stabels but
Wolpert lost quite lot of valuable
cameras and supplies.
No clue has been found as to the
perpetrators, but the Italian shoe
maker who has a shop in the same
building and who gets down to his
place quite early, says he saw two
young chaps leaving that neighbor-
hood as he was coming up to his
shop. He did not know they We're
robbers, however, so did not raise
any alarm. From their hurried ac-
tions in leaving the neighborhood he
is now sure they were the burglars.

The Hudson has some really wonder
full moods, but those of the very early
morning appear to grow more and
more interesting as one comes to
watch and to know them. The big
city ON the other side lends a mysti-

day long and through the night most
of the time, can ever have still

York is getting it's beauty sleep, SO
misses the joys seen from the Jersey
cliffs of Palisade.
Brother Caffal tells a good one on
chap who met man he did not
recognize at the moment when he
had been saluted. 81 beg your par
don," he said, "your face looks
familiar" eyes," replied the man,
'I'm the barkeeper."
Edward Caffal sailed again last
Saturday for the other side, armed
this time with his passports which
will permit him to land somewhere.
The young Palisade volunteer is still
full of pep and hope and wants to
get into action as soon as possible.
Edward Caffal is very earnest pa
triot. God bless his like.
NO more Sunday services at the
Palisade Union Church this season
till early in September. In the mean
time, this does not excuse us from
our regular devotions. Everybody
needs to pray for guidance in this
hateful war, and for a whole lot of
other things besides. For envy, and
hate, and lying, and other things and
few more, my brethren.

TRINITY LUTHERAN CHURCH

The services Sunday at the Grant
wood Lutheran Church will be of a
twofold nature. The pastor, Rev. B.
c. Weinlaeder, will preach on the
Gospel lesson for the day, it being
the fourth Sunday after Trinity.
Hereupon the pastor will make an
appeal for aid for the wounded Ameri-
can soldiers, especially for those who
have dependents at home. Five of
our boys have joined the colors. We
bid them "Good bye, Good luck and
God bless them" .
Sunday School begins at $50 a. m.
Divine worship at 10.45 a. m. If
you are not member of some other
church we bid you welcome to at
tend our services.
Our strawberry festival held last
week was the most successful ever

The amount collected by members

was $1,002.
When the size of the place is taken
in consideration you will all agree
that it required no small amount of
effort by the young ladies in charge.
They are worthy of much praise.
