OUR NAVY SHOULD

In the order Of priority, the Wash
ington program should still have as
ito motto. the Navy first. and incom-
parably beyond all else. The Navy
for us is perhaps twenty times as
important a. the Army. Yet be-
cause making navies Is more tech
nical and more difficult. we have
yielded to the tendency to do the
easiest thing. and by much clamor
have half fooled ourselves into the
belief that by trying to make big
standing armies very quickly We

Our American
Heroes

As a people we are not given to
weeping over misfortunes. but the
nation turns to shed tear for tho
brave lads of the Tuscania. They
gave their lives to the American
cause before they had an opportun-
ity to defend It. Their names will
not go down In history as heroes who
met and vanquished the enemy. but
time can never efface the memory
Of their service. As heroes are meas
ured, history cannot deprive them Of
their place. for while It has been
denied them to punish the Hun. they
have made supreme sacrifice to that
end.
Others will receive greater recog-
milton for heroism In the world war
but none can lay claim to greater
service. which 10 the final test Of

might not be destroyed; events over

THE TWO AMBOYS

One Of the results of the terrible ordeal through which the
towns and cities of this section have passed during the past week
ought to be a better understanding between the two Amboys. 1t must
be confessed that there has been a tendency in the past for some
Perth Amboyans to look upon South Amboy as being beneath them
likewise. we believe, South Amboy has shown a tendency to be jealous
of Perth Amboy, resenting any effort at cooperation in order to show
that she is entirely Independent and is able to stand on her own feet
But in the face of a great calamity petty differences are forgot
ten and the interests of one becomes the interests of all. Today a
combined citizens committee of the two places is working for the CON-
mon welfare. Repeatedly in the conferences with the ZEE cross ON
cils it has been stated that the interests of the two places are identi-
cal, but the Perth Amboy representatives have, without exception,
wsSed first consideration for South Amboy because of the greater
of the re s rato'
Iii. zee haies have suffered severely. They stand together in their
of the wreck and ruin that is everywhere seen in the two places today
will grow greater and more dignihed places than we have had before.
Evils that have existed in both places and which have been accepted
without question due to long custom, viii be wiped out; there VIII
lie a general cleaning up.
1t often takes some great catastrophe as this to abolish that
which everyone knew was wrong, but no one cared to attempt the
cleaning vi process. A striking example of this was the San Fran
cisco earthquake, which leveed the city, and from the ruins OF which
has grown a magnificent city minus the old dIsgracefui Chinatown
and other resorts that brought disgrace upon the metropolis.
There is room for a great deal of improvement in both Perth and
South Amboy and it is to be hoped that the citizens of both places
will take advantage of the present occasion to see that these improve
nents arr made. Then, with a fresh start, the two places should
stand shoulder to shoulder in all things, working IN harmony for the
development of all this section at the mouth of the Tartan river,
possessing, as it does, one of the finest harbors on the Atlantic coast
What a fine thing it would be if the joint citizens committee that
Las been formed for the rehabilitation of the two places might be
mapf a permanent body, the members being appointed, say, by the
BoaSds of Trade Of the two places. Monthly meetings could be held,
to discuss the common interests and a systematic program could be
laid out whereby the two Amboys could work continually together
r. for their common welfare.
The idea is well worth considering. If some such permanent co.
operation could result from the terrible explosion at Morgan, then,
indeed, would we have something good out of evil.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1918-10-10
THE SENTIMENT OF EVERYONE

The Jersey Journal, of Jersey City, voices the sentiment that is
In the minds of everyone in regard to the recent explosion at Morgan
Being located in the great metropolitan district, more than usual pre-
cautions ought to be taken at the munition plants because of the
enormous damage that would result from the going off of the ex-
plosives.
The Jersey Journal says:
ssThe Morgan explosion brings into question the ACCESSIBILITY of
building such large munition plants. The extent of the catastrophe
would seem to decide in favor of smaller groups in sufficient numbers
to insure the same aggregate capacity.
'The Morgan plant was designed with a view of securing the
maximum of both speed and quantity of production. One OF the in
dustrial marvels of the war with regard to both the speed with which
it was erected and reached quantity production and the great stores
CT munitions it was completing daily, the plant had justified the hopes
placed in it until the explosion occurred and rendered dubious the
wisdom of creating such vast munitions units.
4 at might be said that explosions are largely a matter of luck and
that but for ill fortune the Morgan plant might have survived the
war without a single accident, but the very fact that explosives are
such an accountable element, taken together with the experience that
the extent of damage of which they are capable stands in direct ratio
to their quantity, appears to indicate that in the manufacture of
munitions the policy of smaller units assures both greater safety and
efficiency than that of such large plants"

DAYLIGHT SA WING

clocks of the country IN hour ahead of astronomical time through

whether we burn artificial light at the beginning or at the end OF the
day, the result is the same. Added to this is the inconvenience that
the advanced hour would cause to thousands.
To be sure, personal inconvenience r not to be considered
when the country is at war, but when nothing is to be gained by
causing such inconvenience, why cause itf The hardshps are enough
already and the people are bearing them nobly, but because there
are s many necessary Inconvenience is all the more reason why I'M
necessary one should be avoided.
In this section of the country, particularly, the winter mornings
are extremely dark due to the haze and fog of the seacoast- Artificial
y light is often needed until after 8 o'clock under ordinary conditions;
ito force people up an hour earlier during the cold, dark, dismal days
of winter is entirely without merit.

The bill introduced in congress by Senator Calder, of New York,
providing that the clocks shall not be retarded for al hour October

Famous Women

Countess Who Deserted Lovers Court
The Countess of Verrue was one Sc
the most beautnsai and accomplished
women of the Partisan society of her
time. Her husband tool her to Turin
soon after their marriage, and her
great beauty attracted the attention
of Amadee Victor, Duke of Savoy and
King OF Sicily. She long resisted his
advances, which was unusual for the
age in which she lived. The tempta-
ton of ruling over a court where her
virtue only excited redicule at length
overcame her and she became the
mistress of the prince. His love was
sery sincere and increased with the
gears. Finally Madame de Verrue be-
zane bored with her lovers affection,
and h fec with her brother to Paris,
taking a great quantity Of ya1uabIes
with her. She led a most luxurious
life in Paris and seemed TO have un-
ending funds at her disposal. In one
year she spent more than 100, 0oe
pounds on rare books, and her library
was one of the most valuable ever
owned by a private Individual. 1t Is
said that she never spoke of her for
mer lover OF Of her children, and new
er expressed the least regret for hay-
