TOR many months after the American troops
began landing in France. all facts connected
with their transportation across the ocean
were shrouded in mystery
The public merely knew that transports were
leaving our shores. from unknown ports, and ar
riving safely by unknown routes, at unknown
ports in France.
And for while. little was known OF Ire
and conditions aboard the transports. as OF their
routes and destination
But while the ports and routes are still kept
wisely secret. the ccnsors have recently lifted the
VEIL TO extent. from the interesting picture
of daily life aboard the transports. and the boys
in khaki have been permitted. within certain limi-
tations to describe their experiences going across
For the majority Of them crossing the ocean
is as great an adventure as it was to CHRISTOPHER
Columbus. few have known foreign travel be-
fore. but ninety-eight out of hundred never
dreamed of going to Europe and enjoy immensely

come TO them except for the world war

TRENTON, Oct. Woman suffrage and
prohibition were the principal stumbling
blocks at the Republican and Democratic
state CONVENTIONS here this afternoon
The Republican platform declared to-
both prohibition and suffrage In 40 far
as CONSTANT with preprmary pledges
OF candidates.
The Democratic platform was silen,
on the question Of suffrage and out
spokenly against national prohibition,
Tho Republican suffrage plank was
finally adopted about one hour bef57e
word came from Washington that the
United States Senate had defeated the
suffrage amendment.
After q debate OF several hours dur
ing which a hearing was accorded a
delega ton OF suffragists, the Democratic
committee on resolutions decided to re-
port favorably the suffrage plank. Its
consideration brought about bitter
fight on the floor of the convention be-
tween James II. Nugent, the Essex
leader, and Thomas =. Martin, the Sec
rotary OF State and Hudson leader. who
is backing an independent Assembly
ticket In his own county
The first vote Indicated that the sur
frase plank had been carried by vote
Of 20 to %. this exceeding the nunbe
OF accredited delegates On a second
vote, during which all proxies Were
subjected to scrutiny, tho plank was
lost by a tie vote Of ~ to az.
Other planks in the Democratic plat
form extolled the achievements OF the
national Administration under president
Wilson praised the Federal reserve sys
tenn as having made possible the linanc.
ing OF the war; declared that Govern
ment control of transportation ia cilities
as a war measure had been productive
Of greater efficiency and attacked the
administration of Gov. Edge as hav,nr
been subverted to personsi ends.
The Democratic platform also de
clared against prohibition as having no
place In the fundamental law OF tho
nation, holding the subject too CLOSELY
affects the lives and habits OF individuals
and hence should be settled by the
State.
The predominant thought in the brief
Republican platform was that all the
usual functions Of government must be
made secondary to the vital duty OF
| winning tho war.
"All the power OF a determlr ed
people" said the platform. must be ap.
plled to Just one object-the absolute
defeat OF the enemy.
Our first duty as a party and Is a
people is to concentrate all our force
and energy and continue that answering
support Of and cooperation with thu
Federal Government which has already
placed New Jersey In an enviable posi-
ton in the prosecution of the war"
In pursuance of this policy the plat
form declared for n short leyislat tive &c
sion. at which shall be considered only
laws necessarily proper 10 meet war
needs
The strong war policy pursued b.
United States Senators Baird and Ere
linghuysen and their loyalty TO the Pres
ident and the administration OF Co,
Edge also were Endorsed.
