Board of Trade Governors En-
gage a Paid Secretary

At a meeting held last night in the
Edgeton Inn, W Cartwright Smith, of
Philadelphia, was selected out of a
batch of nearly 200 applicants, for the
position of paid secretary of the Wild
wood Board of Trade, and goes on duty
next week. Mr.. Smith comes with
much in his favor. For the past seven
years he has been connected with the
advertising department of the Phila-
delphia Evening Bulletin. AT some
time prior to his engagement with the
Bulletin Mr.. Smith did some work
for the San Francisco Chronicle. These
experiences should have ripened his
faculty for doing things. The future
for Wild wood looks big with promise.
These applications were the result OF
advertising in the Public Ledger and
the New York Times. The new board
of governors has agreed to pay Mr..
Smith 81, 900 a year.

Heavy Thunder Storm

A thunderstorm of unusual severity
lowered over Five Mile Beach on Mon
day night last, for a couple of hours,
causing cons k~ernation to many. Bolt
after bolt of nghtning was shot to earth,
and the whirling clouds were thunder
riven." The storm broke loose short
ly after ten o'clock; and from then un-
til midnight things were kept lively.
No sleep vas possible while such &C.
currences were taking place. One was
reminded Of a mighty artillery duel be-
tween two big armies. The electrical
display was tremendous-magnificent
after a fashion. Crack after crack fol-
lowed the swift binding flashes Of light,
and the reverberations of the pillows of
rolling sound seemed to thunder miles
and miles away. This was not the
counterfeit of the Immortal Jove's
dread clamors,n but the real article
itself; and while we looked and listen
ed, admired and gloriied, yet a tremor
of fear would now and then creep over
u.s. One hard bolt pierced through
the ocean side of the roof of the Derby
shire hotel in Wildwood, cor. Juniper
and Pacific avenues. In West Wild
wood, lightning struck the new Flagg
store building and played some curious
pranks therein. It never touched the
inmates, but 1t knocked out two big
panes of glass, ripped off weather-board-
ing, and shot holes here and there thru
partitions, as clear and clean as a rifle
bullet could do it. Mr.. Cocker, an en-
ployee of Warren ID. Ham, in des-
cribing the esca9ades of this freak
lightning, said that il he had not seen
the ravages with his own eyes, and
had not poked his fingers into the holes
punctured by the subtle fluid, he never
would have believed such occurrences
possible.

contestants, winning In two minutes
and twenty and one-fifth seconds, and
Leander Croker snatched the pole vault

mores.
In the grammar school events the
5O-yard dash was gathered In by Cecil
Henderson, time seven seconds; and
also the 75-yard dash by the same boy

Next Sunday the Fisherman's asso-
citation will meet at city ball to discuss
the unfair discrimination against them
by the commission merchants in Phil
adelphia and New York. Resolutions
of protest will be passed and a plan
formulated to take all grievances in
proper form before the United States
Food commission. The commission
men are not giving the fishermen the
returns due them; and it is time to call
a halt on this unfair practice. It is
probable that a committee will be APP
pointed to carry the matter personally
before the proper tribunal.
Skif fishing has been better
than it has been this season-each skill
averaging from 5 to Is barrels 3 day.
Most of these skiffs make their big
hauls In Delaware bay. The first load
of sea bass was brought in last Satur-
day when Charles Carlson sailed UP
from the historic Hampton Roads with
ffty-one barrels.
Street Supervisor Robinson has put
all of the streets in good condition
again, and now has the laugh on the
smart n%ortheaster. "He laughs best
who laughs last"
At the Anglesea M. E. church last
Sunday night William j. Toner, a
Billy Sunday trail hitter, gave an
inspiring exhortation, followed by the
reading of the P~resident's proclama-
ton by Allen E. Grace. Pastor Rea-
mer gave an address based on the proc
lamation issued by President Lincoln
on April Both, 1868, calling attention
to the necessity of National humilia-
ton aud prayer In the present crisis.
The weekly prayer meeting with Bible
study is held Friday evenings, to which
all are invited. At six o'clock in the
morning of Memorial day services were
held in answer to the Presidents call,
and the church was open all day for
prayer.

The Palaces at Newport

~ viewed the palaces of the million
aires at Newport; but / noticed they
did not own a foot of blue sky, nor a
single white fieecy cloud that foated
over the trackless heaven. They did
not own one Of the white crested waves
of the ocean. They did not own any
of the things / went most to see. Dear
me! They paid millions of dollars for
not much"
eff we began, right now, to measure
our riches, not by what we did not have,
but by counting up what we really do
have,-we would all feel a lot better
off. The big things of life are nature,
health, hope, happiness, love, children
and good regard of the community, and
a feeling that you stand we'll with your
Creator. These are the big things of
life, and money cannot buy them.
Riches are strangely poor; and poverty
is strangely rich. n-BIsHoP Nicely, of

Defense League Organized in
Wildwood This Week

On Tuesday evening OF this week
about thirty parents and relatives of
those now in active military service OF
the United States met in the high
school auditorium to discuss the for
nation of a local defense body to conn
bat German propaganda and to ferret
out any disloyalty in the neighborhood.
A temporary organization was effected
with e. M. Johnson as chairman and
Lanning Myers secretary. A call will
be issued for another meeting soon,
and every parent and relative of those

Meeting of Wildwood Business
Mems Association

On the fifteenth of August, 1917, a
number of Wildwood business men
formed IN organization for the promo
ton of trade. John T. Byrne, the
owner of Byrne's skee-ball block on the
boardwalk, was elected president, and
Albert r. Austin was made secretary.
This association was brought into ex-
istence SO quietly that not everybody
knows there is such q business-body
here. All the dreary winter the men,
beers lay dormant, same as toads do;
but now, with the advent of spring,
they are hopping about with much &C.
tivity, and have held three meetings
lately in rapid succession. At the
meeting last Monday night at the
Douglass Caramel shop on the board
walk about forty members were pres
ent and weighty matters discussed.
We shall have occasion again to refer
to the doings of this organization. For
the present suffice it to state that at
Monday nights meeting the sum OF
$25 was donated to the Red Cross. AT
Tuesday nights meeting it was deci-
ded to issue a daily advertising circular
from the job printing office of A. M.
Wright. There was some fun at the
Monday night session. 1t is reported
that the inimitable Robert Latimer had
a man ''up a tree" for an unconIforta-
bly, long time, refusing to listen to the
frantic appeals of the victim to 'turn
that gun the other way"

Silence of the Doors.

Atlantic Friends who had been
seen and who had come home again
had gone off blithely and unsclf-
ishly to drive ambulances, to nurse
the wounded, to know the storm
center for themselves; and they had
come back sobercd, which was in
telligible, and silent, which was un-
intelligible. That they should speak
modestly of their deeds was natur-
al, but that they should be so
strangely rcticent in speaking of the
grim total fact and of their inner
reactions was unnatural. They had
been willing to communicate few
items from their adventure, but of
their total experience they would
not speak. The cleverest recantour
broke down. The most discerning
philosopher found himself beyond
his depth. A touch or the ineffable
seemed to have entered into the

GERMAN PRESS CHARGED
 WITH SURPRISING NEWS

NEW YORK, Aug. 12.-The press in Germany was accused during a re- cent debate in the reichstag of spread ing false reports regarding allied air raids on German cities, according to German newspapers received here. The case in question was the air raid on Cologne on May 1S
 Deputy Kuckoff of the Center party said there had been no timely warn ing of the population by the military authorities.
 Deputy Meerfeld, Socialist. said that although every child in Cologne knew that twenty-five persons had been killed the newspapers on that day were forced to say that "unfor- tunately they have been some casual ties"
 What will be the reputation of the press if they are forced to spread such false reports?" he asked Meerfield said that the methods Of the general command reminded him of the saying that under martial law every jackass can rule"
