GAMES WANTED
The South Jersey boys camp located
at New Egypt and popularity known
as Camp Ockanickon, is planning to
hold as usual four weeks recreational
camp for which time a program of
activities is already planned which
will contribute to the character devel-
opment of all the boys. Some of the
things which will be very acceptable
for use and which would mean very
much to the boys are any complete
sets of games of any nature which you
may have in your attic or put away in
some closet being enjoyed by no one,
or Victrola records which you no long
er care to keep.

FARM CAMPS
At a recent conference of county
Y. NJ. C. A. secretaries, Wesley O'Leary
state director of the Boys Working
Reserve, outlined the policy the gov
eminent had for the conducting OF
labor camps for boys between the ages
of l6 and 81 throughout the state.
Any community desiring q camp
should make application to the Farm
Demonstration, who after making q
: careful survey and determining the
need for boys, would make arrange
ments with the local farmers for the
housing of the boys in suitable quart
ers, securing the necessary equipment
and commissary needs. The county
superintendent of schools under thi.
plan will be called upon to furnish tn,
boys, and if necessary will be able tt
! secure them from the state director o

The Curfew.


The curfew ordinance in Mount Holly
went into effect on Friday night. The
new regulation is meeting with the APP
proval Of citizens generally. On Friday
night eleven children under le years OF
age were caught on the streets after
nine o'clock and were taken before Re-
corder Herbert. who delivered . rspri-
mand to the law violators and then
sent them home. On Saturday night
three were rounded up. Hereafter the
penalty Of fine or imprisonment will
be inflicted. The public school bell is
rung at 8.45, as the preliminary notice.
and again at 9 o'clock as the final
alarm for children unaccompanied by
parents to get into their homes. There
is great hurrying and scurrying by
the children each night when the first
bell is rung, and few minutes later
none are in sight.
The children are pretty well posted
on the provisions Of the ordinance and
they do not propose to get caught nap
ping. They do hope. however. that
after awhile there will not be the same
vigilance exercised and that hecurfew
ordinance, like many others, will be
allowed to go to sleep. 1t is not likely
this will happen.
The women are taking interest in this
movement and the special government
agents, together with some of the
school teachers, are looking after young
girls who should be at home by nine
o'clock.
The mode of procedure under the or
is to take the children ap-
pretended to the police headquarters
where a record is made Of their names
and ages. They are then taken to
their homes where the parents are
notified what will happen if the Of
Isnce is repeated. On the second ar
rest. the child and the parent may be
fined not over $25 or be given imprison-
ment not more than ten days in the
county Jail. The township committee
IS going to see that this ordinance Is
strictly enforced and the regular and
special officers will do their part in the
work.

Successful Entertainment

The programme presented at the
Mount Holly opera house, Wednesday
evening, was a success in every partic-
ular. The house was packed, stand
ing room being at premium. The
different features offered were enjoyed
by the large audience and were given
the hearty applause that they de-
served.
Morris Van Fossen was the director
of the affair and he had secured local
talent that supported him to his entire
satisfaction. The one-act comedy Of
"a Model Wife" was very amusing
affair and the characters were depicted
by a group of performers, each of whom
gave life to the play to such an extent
that not one could be given more
praise than another.
"Joyland" was another act that Mr..
Van Fossen had prepared and it was
finely staged. There were a number
of young men and women in this act
and they sang and danced in a fine
manner.
Pierre HI. Stanton gave his female
representations, one being that of an
attractive widow, the other a bathing
girl, scantily attired with rather sug-
gestive verses. This might easily
have been omitted, but it appeared ia
please the audience.
Phil Irons, Jr, and William ]
Haines gave speciality act in which
Haines enacted the part of colored
gentleman only as ''Bill' Haines car
do this. The local jokes that were
given were highly appreciated.
Camp Dix lent its aid to the per
Torrance. Corporal Rosenthal san,
solos, and Corporal Lang's quartet,
was so highly enjoyed that they wer,
tired out responding to encores. TIL,
Jass band was another very pleasin,
number.
An orchestra under the direction O
Miss Faye Wilson, furnished tn
music.
As is usual when local talent is to b
on the programme there was not an,
difficulty in selling tickets, and within
an hour after the chart was opened
the entire lower floor had been sold
Perhaps it is not proper to CRITICS
anything in connecting with an enter
tainment in which the performers CAV

one thing that should be corrected an
that is the way in which some person

Action upon the wholesale applica-
lions of Henry M. C. Fry, of Mount
Holly, and William II. Hartman, of
Pemberton, was deferred until next
Thursday, as the Judge said he want
ed time to consider the advisability of
granting wholesale licenses to hotels in
those two towns. 1t is said that Mr..
Fry will withdraw his application.
William A. Comfort and Adam
Spence, both of Cookstown, and the
Brown s-Mills-in-the-Pines Company
presented applications for renewals of
license. As the bars in these hotels
have been closed since last September,
by order of the government, on &C.
count of their proximity to Camp Dix,
the court, for that reason, refused the
application.
Edward Halleran, of Moorestown,
made application for renewal of his
hotel license. In view of the recent
local option election in Chester town
ship, when no license prevailed, the
application was refused.

Walter ii. Scott, manual training in
structor OF the Mount Holly high
school, has presented his resignation,
to take effect at the end of the present
term. He will engage in Y. M. C. A.
work, becoming assistant secretary of
Camden county and have his residence
ut Haddonfield. Mr.. Scott feels it his
duty to take up work of this character,
and his decision, while commended, is
deeply regretted by the board of educa-
ton, and all who have come in con-
tact with him during his two years iu
Mount Holly. Mr.. Scott has been in
charge of the manual training depart
ment of the school since its installa-
ton. He is skillful instructor and
has interested himself in athletics
and other school activities, in which
his help has been valuable. His de
parture will be distinct loss to the
school.
The "skipstop" plan of operating
trolley cars has been put in operation
in several cities. Newark has had i
for long time and it went into effec
in Camden recently. Poles have whit,
painted on them and they indicate
where stop may be made. This doe
away with stopping cars at as man,
street corners as has heretofore been thu
custom. This plan could be WORKED
in Mount Holly by eliminating som
OF the stops now made. Under tn
present system the cars make, between
the railroad bridge on upper Higl
street and Arcade hotel, nine stops
The idea of the new Older is to saw

OUR PLANES MAKE GOOD.

In the recent st. Mihiel offensive,
snd subsequently in the announce
ment of an American bomb-dropping
expedition in which a feet of $50 ma
chimes participated, Americans were
gratifed at the part now being played
by our airships in the fighting in Eu-
rope.
Accounts from the front all agree
that the American airplanes, with the
Liberty motors, played a most effec-
tive part in the rapid advance of our
troops through rough country. They
did all that could be demanded OF
them under exacting conditions. At
ter this severe experience, even those
persons who have been most reluc-
tant to abandon their doubts must
concede that American airplanes have
NOT fallen short of the mark set for
them.
There have been endless confusion
and discouraging delays in produc-
ing the types of machines in this
country that were called for by the
shifting developments at the front
But the day of anxiety in the aircraft
situation is over. We can be sure
now that we are on the right track
and dismiss hesitancy for good What
is required from now on is to speed
up production to the limit IN prep
aration for the 1919 campaign.

THE HUN WHO WANTS PEACE.

The great coal mines of Lens have
been so damaged and flooded by the
retreating Germans that they will be
unfit for operation for fully five
years, and of the town of Lens itself
onlv an immense pile of stones and
masonry mark the place where once
II stood and fiourished Ten thousand
homes and buildings were utterly de-
molished. The Romans in their rage,
when they levelled Carthage and
sprinkled salt on its site, were no
more complete in their process of de-
struction.
However, this is simply sample
of German frightfulness as it is prac-
tised even today when the German
war lords are trying to bargain for
a peaee. While professions of peace
end goodwill to all mankind are on
their british lips, atrocities at which
the world rebels in horror are COM
mitted-perpetrated, too, according
to the code of military procedure laid
down for the armies to follow.
Lens is today merely name. When
the reports read that the Allies have
driven the Germans out of town,
the instant idea is that city, still
populated and intact, has been regain
ed, but that is not the case. Simply
a heap of rubbish, just that much ac-
tuaI territory, is taken, and it is call
ed bv the name of the city which once
existed there.
How can there be any sincere peace
talk with a vandal who does things
such as this? Never was the Hun of
old, led by Attila who boosted that
the grass never grew where his
hordes had trod, never was the low
proved Hun of the fifth century, as
horrible, as wicked, in his excuses
as are the Huns of today.

SHORTEN THE WAR.

Every one of you in the remotest
corner of the Fatherland," said the
Kaiser in a speech to the Krupp mu-
nition-workers, knows that l have
left no stone unturned to shorten the
war for you and your people and for
the entire civilized European world. p"
But the good man has failed in his
benevolent undertakings The war
under his direction obstinately re-
fused to be shortened, and so the job
had to be turned over to somebody
else.
A highly competent crew composed
Of British, French, Italians and Amer
leans has been set to work under
Marshal Foch, and these men are go
ing to shorten the war materially. By
wav of acceleration the United States,
which already has more than 100000
troops in France, will have 5000 900
there in the spring, and they intend
to finish the thing. We trust that the
Kaiser will cheer up and take more
optimistic view of the situation The
war is sure to be shortened.

RUNNING FOR EXERCISE.

The performance of G. H. Williams,
of Dublin, is so amazing as to be al
most incredible.
In way it is quite amusing.
Here is a man who stands high in
his community, who has made small
fortune by farming and practising
law. He has more than average in
telligence. He has been a first-class
citizen, just as patriotic as anybody.
He has boy in France, he has given
to all the war charities, and he has
bought literally of War Stamps and
Liberty Bonds. In all civic matters
he has taken an active part.
Naturally he was a good man to
elect TO the state senate and the peo-
pie Of the counties of Laurens, john
son and Emanuel thought enough of
him to nominate him without oppo-
sition.
But when the cotton market goes
wrong, as the cotton market will
sometimes do, and he loses thirty
thousand dollars, he goes into a
frenzy, and in his excitement he de-
ciiDes to accept the nomination, pro-
claims himself "a Republican" and
announces a candidacy against Will
liam j. Harris, the nominee of the
Democratic party
Does Mr.. Williams for one second
imagine that in his hog-wild course
he will be followed by any apprecia-
BILE number of Georgians? Does he
think for a second that any Of the
hundred thousand very loyal Geor-
CLANS who voted agaisnt Thomas w
Hardwick will bolt the primary and
vote for him? He has entirely toe
much sense, he knows Georgians toe
we'll, to think anything Of the kind.
That is why his candidacy is fool
ish and ridiculous and asinine.
However, the newspapers should
worry, since Mr. Williams has alread!
started an advertising campaign tina
will cost him considerably. Even i
he does nothing else he will hel
the receipts of the papers who neeC
every dollar they can get these days.
Seriously, though, the people ar
not going to take Mr.. Williams seri
ously, and we doubt quite seriously j
he takes himself that way.

SOMEWHAT PREMATURE.

In Albany last Saturday night
somebody started the rumor that Ger
many had Internationally surrend-
cred and that peace had been declar-
ed Although the hour was near mid
night, the report spread like a fire in
a dry prairie. Soon there was tense
excitement. Crowds gathered, the
entire fire department was called out,
and went changing through the
streets; whistles were blown, bells
were rung, and hilarious shouts rent
the air. Hundreds and thousands of
people were awakened A parade
formed and marched through the
town, people rushed from their homes
to join in, willy-nilly, hardly know
ing what it was all about. Guns were
fired and fireworks set off. Even
speeches were made wherever an or
ator could prevail on an audience to
suspend its frenzy long enough to
listen to him. For more than two
hours this pandemonium continued,
and even during part of Sunday the
so-called celebration was maintain
ed.
Of course, it was all trifle prema-
ture.
Moreover, it was thoroughly ridi-
culous, not to say disgusting.
It has put Albany in a preposter-
Gus light before the world-Albany,
that live, progressive city, which is
already "over the top" with its Lib
erty Bond quota, city where the
people are as intensely patriotic as
those of any American community.
1t was all the work of hot-heads,
flat-heads, and thick-heads. The peo-
pie who participated were swept into
the affair by the spacious enthusiasm
of the moment, by that contagion
which prevails in all mobilize bodies,
a species of delirious enthusiasm
that is really more contagious than
influenza.
We do not believe that any set OF
Americans are that eager for peace.
We do not believe that in their sane
moments they would give credence to
anv report like the one which had II
that Germany had absolutely surren-
dered. The only peace that this ma
tion wants is a peace which means
q great triumph for our arms and for
the Allies and a peace that will guar
antee to all the world a permanent
protection against wars, When that
kind of peace does come, then will
be the time for celebration and for
rejoicing. Then let the bells ring
ont and the whistles screech. Then
let there be a blare of trumpets and
hip-hiphho6rays from the people. Then
Americas will join with Albany in a
sure-enough celebration.
