the week at the Orpheum. The
Sorority Girls" "A musical comedy
act of five cOmely maids who well
fit the title, and "A Jay Circus"

merit, and either could claim head
line honors. AS both are good acts
we viii not attempt 10 give either
more credit than the other The
latter, which has been seen here be-
fore, is the more amusing of the
two, and il is known that some who
saw 10 the second time last night
enjoyed it as much as they did the
first time Cal Dean and Marie
Fay creditably handle the leads in
The Sorority Girls" As the title
implies. the act concerns the antics
OF a bevy of college sorority girls.
This comedy is furnished by the only
male member of the company.

MIR. JENKINSON MISLED

Aside from the letter which State Fuel Administrator Richard
C.. Jenkinson wrote to Mayor TenBroeck regarding the fuel situation
in this city, and which was made public at the conference with the
local fuel administrator in the city hall Wednesday night, nothing
new was developed in the local situation, neither was the feeling that
q great injustice has been done this city removed.
Tire only new thing as far as Mr.. Jenkinsons letter is concerned
was the statement in it that the early closing in the Perth Amboy dis
trict was a voluntary plan arrived at as a result of a conference with
the merchants, the mayor and the police department. Mr.. Jenkilson
said that when the local fuel administrator notified hima5f the confer
enccs with the merchants, the mayor and the police department ~
then approved of this voluntary plan" Mr. Jenkinson, apparently,
has been miinformed and mised.
This Is the first intimation that the early closing in Perth Amboy
was the result of q conference such as MI. Jenkinson speaks of. The
eerly cl5sng in this city was anything but voluntary. That is just
the point. 1t is the arrogant, dctatorial manner in which the fuel
administrator has openly defed the local officials and the whole city.
He has boosted that he is above any local authority and does not have
10 answer II a9yone here as to his conduct. Instead of comforting with
the merchants, the mayor and the police department in this early clos
ing movement so as to arrive at some voluntary plan, as he was ex-
rected to do and as has been done elsewhere, the local fuel admins
traitor ignored the mayor entirely and went direct to the chief of po-
lice arbitrarily ordering him to have his men close up the city. As
far rs comforting with the merchants is concerned, when the mer-
chants, through the Board of Aldermen, sought an explanation for the
most unusual and uAdemoeratic proceeding the fuel administrator re-
fused point blank to answer questions and, after expressing his opn-
ion of everybody present left the meeting III a huff. The fuel admin
istrator .efused to even answer legitimate questions, let alone secure
voluntary action on the part of the business men of the city.
Mr.. Jenkinson does not have to urge the people of Perth Amboy
to be patriotic, nor is it necessary for him to point out to them what
their duty is in this regard. They have been extremely patriotic from
the very beginning Of the war and will continue to make such sacri-
fees as are necessary to carry the war to a successful conclusion, but
which the work Of the fuel administration is carried en- here and they
refuse to tolerate such methods any longer.
The usefulness of Mr.. Oliver W. Ramsay as a public official in iris
community has passed. He should resign.

Today We Celebrate
Bohcmia's National Aspirations.

Unrest in Bohemia has been marked
for some time and the CZechs who
comprise the great masses of the Bo-
hemian population of both Germany
and Austria are looking forward to the
day when they will be a free people
one more. 1t Is especially against
Austria hat the hatred OF the Bohe-
mians Is directed.
1t was just a little over five centuries
agn that the Bohemians inaugurated
an insurrection against their imperial
rulers which ranks among the most
remarkable in history. The execution
of Huss and Jerome of Prague, in
141S and 1416, aroused the people to
rebellion, and on Nov. 8, 1416, Just
400 years ago tomorrow, their anger
took the form of open defiance. This
era of the HusSite wars In bohemia
brought TO the front the immortal
John Ziska. who took the leadership
in 1419. Although blinded Ziska de-
feated all the powerful enemies sent
against him, and on his death bed de-
handed hat a drum be made of his
skin TO terrify his enemies even after
his death.
Ziska was old. bald-headed, one
eyed and hawk-nosed when he became
chieftain of the bohemian rebels. He
called himself John Ziska of the
NO III liz I1Ope Oi
God of the Thorites." He soon proved
thai he was more thai a religious fam
attic, for when an army of a hundred
thousand was sent against him he
routed and dispersed the forces of the
empire. Ziska's advocacy of CON-
munism alienated the Bohemian
mobiles and cost him much of his sup
port. Some OF the more fanatical of
the religious enthusiasts called them
selves Adamites. and both men and
women went naked until Ziska up
pressed them. In putting down the
Adamites ZislIa lost his remaining
eye. He was then surrounded by
great armies on all sides, but defeat
ed them in turn.
After Ziska's death his followers
divided into factions and they were
then defeated. Ever since the HUSTLE
wars. however, the Bohemians have
treasured, through centuries of wal
and persecution, the great ideal of hui
man freedom n religious liberty
and they are today. In both religion
and politics. the most liberal of cen
trail European peoples.

BY JOHN EVANS,
State Director National War Savings
Committee

As the year 1918 dawns, the magni-
tude Of the task Of winning the war is
daily more forcibly impressed upon.
Us. We begin to look upon the year
1918 rs our first full year of war.
No American citizen is doing his
duty towards his country unless he
asks himself: "WHAT CAN INDI-
VIDUALLY DO DURING. THE
YEAR 1918 TO HELP WIN THIS
WAR?" By the issuance Of the secre-
tary of the treasurery, of war-savings
stamps, and thrift stamps, one Of the
most effective means Of helping our
country win the war is placed within
the reach of every man, woman, and
child. A wasteful and thriftless peo-
were economy and saving SO neces-
sary. Never in the history of the
world has savings plan been devised
as safe, as easy, and as profitable as
the war-saving plan of our govern
ment.
When you save and lend to the Gov
enment, you transfer your purchas-
ing power to that exttnt, to the Gov
ernment. By this process, the purch-
ases of the Government take place of, ),
instead of being added to, the purch-
ases of private citizens. Thus, COM
petition for labor and material be-
tween the Government and private
individuals is avoided. The rise in
price is checked, and the cost of war
to the Government is reduced, and the
cost Of living to the individual is re-
duced. When you spend a dollar that
is not, absolutely essential to your
health and efficiency, you are actually
harming the country in two ways. You
are using labor which is needed for
work Of national Importance, and you
are denying your country financial
support which it needs and which you
could lend it. When you say you "can
do what you like with your money
you are only partly right. II your
money is spent in q way that is harm
full to the Nation, YOU are affecting
the safety Of the hundreds Of thous-
ands Of men who are about to endure
hunger and hardships for your sake,
and you are making it more difficult
to win the war. These things you
have no right to do.
When you lend to your country in
stead Of spending on unnecessaries,
you prove your patriotism in prac-
tical way, therefore, everyone who
wishes to do the right thing by his
country during the year 1918 will
save all he can and buy income-bear-
ing War-Savings Stamps.
