Cars Derailed.

The derailment of five cars, two
of which were loaded, on a north
bound freight train early Monday
morning, mile above the local
station, tied up the Belvidere Del
aware Railroad all the morning.
The first direct southland trains did
not arrive until noon, locals being
sent southwark from here to take
their place. The Tobyhanna special,
Pullman car train, was sent
around via Somerville and Flem-
ington, arriving two hours late.
The northbound mail train, leav-
ing here at 8.52 a. M, was shifted
over to the Pennington branch, and
finally held in the yard north of Elm
street until noon, when it was
abandoned, the mail and express
cars being sent forward on another
train.
Two wreck trains were here to
clear the main track and siding.
both of which were blocked by the
accident. No one was hurt, but the
property damages will amount to
several thousands of dollars.

"The Victory Bel. 3"

Beginning with this Sunday at
noon the First Presbyterian
Church of this city will join with
the movement that is sweeping over
our country among all christian and
patriotic people, and call upon all
members of the church to pause al
noon each day and to pray for
Victory and Righteous Peace. In
this practice all our citizens are in
vited and urged to take part. AS a
reminder the church bell will ring
out a seven fold appeal at noon,
in accordance with the custom which
is called the ringing of The Victory
Bell"
There is feverish anxiety in
every American home. For her sons
and holy cause, the nation must
pray. Her cause is just, her boys
are brave. For such boys as these
and for the Flag we love, ring out
the Victory Bell, and to your knees,
patriots.

MASTERS ORDER TO SLAVES
Proclamation of New Ruler Of Meek
lenburg- Strelitz Was In Best
Hohenzollern Manner.

The kaiser, it appears, has no mo-
nopoly Of the secret of kaisering. The
empire of the most high is full OF
aigh-chair princes who know how to
kaiser and take the German god by
the ear to show him his place as well
as can the high and mighty one of
Potsdam. They can also order the
home folks around in quite the best
Hohenzollern manner.
A little over a year ago the High
Muck-a-Muck of Mecklenburg-Sire-
litz died. A copy of the proclalna-
tion of his successor, issued as he
took over the duties and pcrquisites
Of ruler of the township, has just
reached this country 1t informs
the populace that-but let this
feudal hangover speak for himself:
"In graciously condescending to
notify the population of this impor-
tant procedure, we command all
those who dwell in the grand duchy,
officials, vassals, servitors and per-
sons of all rank, station and posi-
lion, to show us unquestioning,
silent obedience in whatever it may
please US graciously to condescend
to undertake or to order, and to con-
duct themselves at all times and in
all circumstances as beseems faith
tul subjects and servitors in their at
titude toward their lord and master,
who will brook no opposition to his
gracious and condescending rule and
authority"

GERMAN MOBILES NOT KILLED
Members Of Royal Family Remain Far
Enough Away to Avoid Danger
OF Enemy Shells.

Germany has been engaged in war
for three years and up to the present
time not a "blooded" German has
lost his life. In the list of killed and
wounded there has not appeared the
name of Prussian OF German
prince, nor even o member of the no.
bility. If they are around the fir
ing line at all, they are in deep eel
lar with floor covered with fine car
pet, comments the Des Moines Capt.
tai.
The emperor of Germany has six
sons, and not one of them has re-
ceived a scratch. One or two of them
have been married since the war be-
gan, and the crown prince, who was
supposed to command at Verdun,
has had another prince born to him.
The German autocracy is not 60
ing hungry. None of it members is
carrying a bread ticket. With them
everything goes on as usual. 1t was
charged in the European newspapers
few weeks ago that a carload or two
of beautiful singers were sent to
Verdun on special trains in order to
dance and sing and cause the crown
prince to forget his troubles, while
he is more than twenty-five miles
from any cannon.
There may be mourning in every
household in Germany. There is
mourning in every household of the
common people. But the emperor
and the royal family generally have
no personal occasion for shedding g
tear.

THE ENGAGEMENT RING.

It has been a mooted question
whether the lady should return the
engagement ring when she changes
aer mind. A true sense of gallantry
would preclude mention Of this, but
there are some knights who, IN
stead of philosophically bowling to
the hand of fate, grow peevish to the
point of demanding the solitaire.
Twice within the past few days
the courts have decided that the
ring must be returned. According
to these DEGREES it would seem that
the dazzling bauble is not a gift, but
merely a halter with which the mod
ern knight essays to hold the maid
in leash; not a lavish token Of
loving heart, but simply a prosaic
bond which mus, he forfeited ii the
young woman elects to jump her
bail.

WOMEN MUST LEARN TO COOK
Earnest Advice From an Anxious Edi-
tor Is More Than Worthy of
Deep Consideration.

A writer in a London paper says
he knows of several girls in Brit
ish government Office who spend
their evenings in learning cookery.
Most of them," he says, "come from
homes where things of the house
have always been done by we'll
trained servants. | asked one OF
these girls why she was spending
her spare time in learning how to
boil cabbages and make potatoes look
attractive.
"T want to feel independent she
said. Il expect to be married shortly
and | should feel such fool if my
husband came home suddenly on
leave and | couldn't cook him a de-
cent dinner. We can't count on serv-
ants these days"
1t is a good time for great many
women to begin thinking in practical
terms. War wages and the wars in
creased demand upon labor have re-
1uced the servant reserves to a lower
point than was ever before known in
this state. Many women who have
escaped the kitchen all of their lives
can no longer escape. They must
cook. If they don't know how to
cook they must learn how, that is, II
they expect to get anything to cat.

May Change Train Routes.

Through passenger trains between
this city and Somerville, via the
Pennington Branch Railroad and
the South Branch Railroad seems an
early possibility. according to rail
road men who have inside informa-
ton on the subject.
1t is thought that the passenger
service on the Lehigh Valley rail
road into Pennington may either be
discontinued, or greatly reduced
possibly using the Clinton-Pittstown
train to do the work, and have a
local freight back in from the main
line at Pennington Junction.
1t is said that this is contemplated,
as well as doing away with most of
the present train service on the So
Branch Railroad between Fleming
ton and Somerville. The latter would
be supplemented by the continuation
of the Pennington trains to this city,
which by using the South Branch
depot. could run through without
difficulty. Freight trains are already
doing so, and passenger trains fire.

AQUARIUM IN BACK YARD
terested Can Easily Construct
by Himself.

The ideal artificial aquarium is a
tub, a pail or a tank sunk in the
earth in the back yard, says Edward
F. Bigelow in Boys Life, the boy
scouts magazine When | visited
Doctor Burgin of Philadelphia l
found him engaged in the delightful
pursuit of caring for a combination
aquarium formed by little ponds and
tanks in his back yard.
Any scout who likes to use tools
can make waterproof box by oiling
the boards and using waterproof
cement at the joints. If the tank is
well made it will not require any
thing in the joints, since the damp
ness of the ground in which the box
is to be sunk and the water within
the box will prevent varying and
the opening of the joints.
A good substitute for the home
made box is a half-barrel or a lard
tub, well cleaned, or an ordinary
washtub; indeed, any receptacle that
will hold water will answer the pur-
pose. 1t should be set in the earth
because it looks more natural there
with the surface of the water level
with the surrounding ground.

CHILDREN MOCK GOOSE STEP
belgian Little Ones Display Much of
the Spirit That Has Marked
Their Elders.

An incident that illustrates the in
1omitable spirit of Belgium under
the heel of her oppressor is men
toned in Brand Whitlock's personal
narrative of his war experiences, in
Everybody's. In describing the sort
of humor which is form of cour-
age, he says:
'This peculiar savory wit, this
sardonic spirit, was everywhere in
play, and it was not long before even
the children of the Marolliens, as
they played at war, marching and
counter-marching there under the
shadow of the Palais de Justice, had
new game.

little captain of the band would
