Governor Edge Lauds Jersey
Farmers and War Gardens

Governor Walter z. Edge, candi-
date for the United States senatorial
nomination on the Republican ticket.
in speaking at the Gloucester County
Farmers picnic at Alcyon Park, Pit
man, today complimented the New
Jersey farmers upon the way in which
they responded to the governments
appeal for more food for our soldiers
and allies. He said hat the increase
has been about five per cent. in acre
age devoted to farm production and
fifteen per cent. in the yield from farm
lands.
Governor Edge during the course OF
his speech also referred to the work
being done by the school children and
other residents in the line of home
gardens.
The government. he declared, can
not treat the agricultural question In
the same way that It has the ship
building problem but what the gov
eminent needs to do Is to. create an
irresistible, buslnesslike demand
among agriculturIsts and others for
agricultural activity. The demand for
food production is here, Governor
Edge declared. but the demand for
farm land. for the farming vocation, Il
not. The latter can be created only
by making farming a profitable occu-
patton and this may be accomplished
solely by the betterment OF marketing
and transportation conditions.

British Urge President
Wilson to Visit Europe

LONDON, Aug. 15:-Hope Is ex-
pressed in many British quarters that
President Wilson will find ii advisable
to visit Europe o and even o
widespread is the hope that he will
send TO Europe a permanent personal
representative
This hope was given expression a
few days ago in a series of articles
In the Manchester Guardian.
Tho Guardian first complained II
an article on The Road to Peace"
that there is the initial difficulty that
no spokesman OF one allied nation a
speak equally for ALL"
Then a former member Of parlia-
ment, signing himself "Ex-M. P.,"
wrote to the editor asking: but Is
this difficulty insuperable1 You say
President Wilson Is a long way on
The cable Rnnihilates distance. and
he has his representative in London.
There is one very cogent reason why
he should be accepted as the spokes-
man of the Alies-that not one Of
them a do without hint"
To this the editor OF h Guardian
made the following signed nswer
Nothing Is more desirable than
that President Wilson should take a
more active part IN the direction OF
policy, but for that IL would be essen
tial that some representative IN intf-
mate personal association with him
and enjoying in the fullest degree his
confidence should be present In this
country and should take part In al
the most intimate eounsels OF the al
lies. So far. President Wilson has sen
no such representatives. though Col.
House for a short time pretty mucl
fulfilled this office. II Is OF urgent
importance that ne should do So"

Colonel Sues to Defend
Honor of His Regiment

LONDON, Aug. 16:-Because the
defendant published a story about
him saying that he ordered his regi-
ment to surrender during a battle on
the western Iron In the early days
of the war. Colonel william e. Cor
don. holder OF the Victoria Cross,
has started n novel suit for $4,000
damages against John Leng & Com
pany. OF Dundee. Scotland, publishers
of q weekly Newspaper.
The article. written by Corporal
George Mutch, OF the Gordon High
ianders. contained these words:
w opened IRE on the enemy. As
we were q splendid target for fhem.
however. and they were almost In
visible 10 US. II was plain that very
soon we would be completely wiped
out. We could neither advance nor
retire. and gradually the Germans
closed In about us. After about TWEEN
" minutes Colonel Gordon ordered
us to throw down our arms. and the
nght was over"
Colonel Gordon denies that he
gave the order TO surrender, and de-
clares he believes the article was not
written by Corporal Mutch. but by
an employe OF the publishers. The
defendants assert that the statement
was given them In an interview by
the corporal and that they had no
intention OF representing Colonel
Gordon as having failed In his duty
as q soldier.
