at this moment trying to surround,
But it is all just like Uncle Sam to do

just as well that the lesson we are

was her last effort-admitted it. Now,
it is up to the balance of mankind to
counterfeit this cruel type of war,
and if the United States fails to find
way, all the other nations may give
it up as hopeless job. But no one
looks for failure. With all of Ger

Il War Forecast.

In all of the newspaper discussions
about the European war the New
York American has appeared to have
the most comprehending grasp OF
any. Its sources of information from
the war center; it's comprehending
views on the economic conditions OF
the world, have been of particular in
terest throughout the whole war
period.
With all of the unpopularity as
ISOLATED with the Hearst papers from
one cause or another, this enterprise
and their thoughtful contributions
to contemporaneous opinion of the
day cannot be questioned. They
have had imagination and vision, and
they have had the cause of democ-
racy at heart always, regardless of
Mr.. Hearst's personal ambitions.
The discussion of the war situa-
tion this week by the Hearst papers
is particularly interesting as well as
Illuminating. The belief is expressed
that the great war must soon be over
on account of the worlds food sup
ply. 1t supplies the facts and figures,
and if its forecast be half way true
the war must die soon of inanition.
Nothing can live without sustenance,
and because the war has taken so
many millions from the fields the
rest of the world must sutherland
starve if the war is not soon ended.
There are two sources of consula-
ton in the thought and hope that
these representations are right
three, in fact. First, it is consoling
to know that the war must close be-
cause it cannot last without food;
second, it is gratifying to know that
a world-democracy must spring from
the selfishness of autocracy; and
third, it is a pleasure to know that
at this time at least one great Ameri-
can newspaper can draw a ray of
hope from the world in the midst of
its most narrowing period of unrest
and carnage.

The Right Progress.

The action of the Cliffside Park
borough council on Monday night in
agreeing to purchase a first-class
automobile fire engine and equip
ment was a move in the right direc-
ton. 1t put Cliffside Park right up
in the front ranks of wide-awake
boroughs. 1t broke the shackles of
lithargy that have been holding it
back.
The last obstacle is now removed
from the borough's pathway towards
progress.
She has now the big three ingredi-
ents of advancement:
IA new high school and bang
up educational system-as good as
there is.
2-She has magnificent new
roadway system, as good as there is
3-She has an up-to-date fire serv-
ice, as good as there is.
Here are the essential elements OF
success. They will not only attract
the attention of intending home seek-
ers, but invite business as well.
Watch out for Cliffside Park to
grow rapidly in the next few years
catching the spirit of the mighty in
flux of capital and people in the de-
velopments to the south of her.

Our Flag.

When freedom from the mountain
heights
Unfurled her standard to the air,
She tore the azure robe of night
And set the stars of glory there.
She mingled with it's glorious dyes
The milky baldric of the skies,
And striped it's pure celestial white
Wit streakings of the morning light.
Then from his mansion in the sun
She called her eagle bearer down,
And gave into his mighty hand
The symbol of her native land.
Flag of the brave, thy folds shall
fly,
The sign of hope and triumph,
high!
Each soldiers eye shall brightly turn
To where thy skyborn glories burn
And as his springing steps advance
Catch war and vengeance from the
glance!

At the council meeting held Mon

and that the news that was printed
was not accurate. Of course he in
timitaded that the reporters might OF

opinions, or maybe the editors of the

as it happened.
The "Palisadian" takes pride in re-

Plant Vacant PROPERTY.

The certainty of food shortage
this year makes it imperative that
every available foot Of open land be
cultivated in some form. In this
section Of New Jersey there is
abundant land on which crops could
be grown to advantage.
Even here in Palisade there is
much vacant property that could be
planted in beans or potatoes, corn
and other staples, all of which could
materially reduce the cost of living
and help the cause Of material pros
perity.
1t would be fine and exemplary
thing for the boys of the junior
Civic League to busy themselves on
vacant lots. They could plant minia-
ture farms and save lot Of money
besides remunerating themselves in a
moderate degree. The necessity for
work and planting was never SO ap-
parent as now.
