The American Defence Society is doing
splendid work in urging a speeding up Of
our activities in the war. To nine-tentha
OF its programme every American citizen.
including every American citizen of Ger.
man origin, can heartily assent. But in
the matter of the German language nres.
the American Defence Society is fanatic.
We want united country I believe we
are going to have united country. see
signs daily of the increasing willingness
OF the German American to accept whole
heartedly his governments opposition to
Germany and his governments desire to
crush forever the miltaristic system which
Is responsible Tor this world war. In other
words, the majority Of those German.
Americans who were pro- German are now
straight Americans and pro-America. RI tho
German American question is handled with
sympathy and intelligence, in six months
there Will be no more German-Americans
left. They will be all straight Americans
But we must not hammer them indiscr;r;.
nately and we must not suppress the on,v
vehicle by which large number of them
can be reached. We must not let the
fanatics have the upper hand over the
forces of reason and justice

ABANDON PART OF LOOT

Aeband of cracksmen invaded the
Baker Building, 1888 Race street. early
today. Liberty Bonds, war saving
stamps and cloth valued at hundreds of
dollars composed the bulk of the loot.
Three firms were the victims. 1t Is ex-
pected the total losses will reach $4,000.
The robbers evidently were scared Off.
They left between $4,000 and $4,000
worth of silks and cloth which they had
tied in bundles.
Probably six men are believed to have
been in the robber band. One safe was
opened by sensitive fingers and hearing
that mastered the combination. another
was ripped open and third was drilled

How the thieves gained entrance is

offices below by cutting an opening in
each floor successfully and between the
hoors they placed an iron ladder which
they ripped from the fire escape
The fifth and top floor is .tenanted by

The fourth floor, occupied by Barrist
& Co., manufac cturers of skirts yielded
the biggest haul. Between s4o0 and
$500 in Liberty Bonds and war saving
stamps were taken there.
The Empire Waist and MILDLY Com
pany, on the fifth floor, was also a

{, EDGE REPLIES TO ATTACKERS
SAYS Gray Has Insulted Jersey.
men-Calls Record "Ridiculous'

Trenton, Sept. 20.-Governor Edge
replies to the attack on his candidacy
for United States Senator b- Edward
W. Gray and George L. Record his op-
ponents. in bristling statement declar-
Ing his stanch support of the Govern
ment's war program.
Mr.. Gray has challenged the integ-
rity of the members of every draft
board in the State questioned the patri-
otism of the State militia, National
Guard and the State militia reserves,
and unsuccessfully endeavored to place
his State in most unenviable position
before the world" says the Governor.
His own punishment for such action
must be quite enough. He also insults
the intelligence of the voters of New
Jersey when he asks to be nominated
for the high and powerful office of
United States Senator with an entirely
negative platform. tearing down every
thing now existing-bridge. tunnels,
road and other advanced programs, ana
offering not one single constructive
thought for the future. What a travesty
on public responsibility"
OF George l.. Record, the Governor
says:
His appeal to class prejudice and his
ineffectual attempt to associate my can
didacy with illegal business combina-
tions after my years of public service
have been so ridiculous that it has taken
from him some supporters who had
really felt at one tinre that perhaps
Record was politically honest, but who
would not stand for resurrecting this
dark age type of campaign"

To force the point the City, Solicitor
has held UP. the payment Of the damages
with the idea of starting an action in
court to settle the matter. The sur
render made yesterday resulted in the
payment Of s3s93.se to the city and
an agreement of an annual rental for the

time as the property must be demolished.
The citys attitude as to the Beach

In accordance with Director Dates
mans instructions. Chief Arthur, Of the
Bureau of City Property, has for some
time been making an investigation as
to- city-owned property the payment of
rents and future revenue from these
properties, with the result that the
citv's receipts from such sources have
increased and future revenue provided
which will be considerable, approximate
" $4,000 a year.
As evidence of the change which has
taken place through this investigation,
the records show that the receipts from
the Bureau of City Property relative to
real estate alone up to August 81, 1918,
amount to s43,910, as compared with
sI5.OOs.29 for the same period In the

Hours a Day

The decision of the war labor board
that iron molders should not work more
than eight hours a day. except In case

was reported that the decision would
also affect other unions.
The ruling was given in the case o.

Molders' Union. and the Foundrymen OF
Wheeling, ". Va.
The question of emergency must be
determined by committee representing

Samuel Kelton, of the machinists'
union. said
The war board has made similar de-
cisions In numerous other cases. Speak
ing for the machnists. I can say that
the men are working loyalty to finish all
tasks at hand. We feel that the war
should be won, and therefore no COM
plant is made when the men are asked
to work overtime. They don't bother
about appointing any committee to see
IL they should do the extra work They
regard all work at this time as emer-
gency work. The men have shown the
right spirit and will not hold up any
work by hard and fast rules They
want to help whip Germany"
Several other trade unionists spoke
along similar lines.
