ONE LESSON OF THE WAR.
BY Anthony Goss.


Peace has come. Out of the night
mare of war has come peace-a just
peace, a victorious peace, not vain
glorious peace. that fits in with the
pride of kings, but an honorable peace
that fills the world with the hope of
goodwill among nations and the eman-
cipation of peoples. And what night
mare it has been!s -Four years of hor-
rendous war. -Four years of unspeaka-
BILE bloodshed that has filed the world
with hardship and cripples and mourn
ing and that no amount of false and
hollow philosophy can gloss over. 1t
will take fifty years to wipe out the
last vestige of it. Only the mothers
and fathers who have lost their dear
ones know its full portent. The wounds
will be healed, but the scars will re-
main forever.
And the hardship of it all is that it
was war to emancipate Germany.
France is free, England is free, our
own U. S. A. is free. Germany alone
live and breathe and have it's being in
accord with an enlightened progress
and rational evolution. We have
thrown off the shackles of feudalism,
for no more shall it be given to one
man to get this world by the ears. No
| more. 1t isn't wise to entruSt too much
power to one man, nor too much
| wealth. 1t makes madmen, cunning
madmen. Too much unbalances us.
| We need the ballast of need. The old
Roman prayer comes to my mind, per-
haps the most beautiful prayer ever
uttered: O, Lord, give us not what we
want. Give us what we need. Give us
what we need! Give us what we need !!
Why this mad rush for power? Why
this mad rush for wealth? What does
it avail us when we get it? Can we
wear more than one suit, or eat more
than one meal at time, or sleep in
more than one bed? This seems to be
mad world, my masters and withal
so incomprehensible. We can't under
stand the gloom and darkness of war;
What does it mean and why? The
Christian spirit availeth not Philoso-
ply availeth not. Says the Divine Bill
he has never met the philosopher who
could bear the toothache patiently. Go
to the mother and tell her to smile
when her nest has been ruthlessly rob-

FREEHOLDERS HAVE
SHORT SESSION.

At the Bergen County FreehOlders
meeting on November 20 there was lit
tie but unimportant routine work DONE
Director w. p. Eager presided.
The statement of County Engineer
Roscoe P. McClave that he had saax-
aged $1,000 of old bridge material
inundated for several years in Wood
cliff lake was the most interesting
feature of the meeting of the Board
of Freeholders at the courthouse The
material salvaged consists of steel
beams and bluestone tagging. Mr..
McClave said:
1.-The material taken from the old
county bridges was all in good shape,
and it might interest you to know that
the markings showing the lengths of
the beams are still visible This is
rather remarkable in view of the fact
that these bridges have been under
water for at least eight years."
The state highway engineer advised
that no application for highway ma
terial, with the exception of steel, was
now necessary, the q. S. Highway
Council having removed all restric-
lions since the signing of the armis-
tice with Germany. The letter was re-
ferred to the county engineer
