THE REGISTRATION

While the total registration of men between the ages OF eighteen
and fortyfve that had not already registered, is somewhat smaller
in this city than had been anticipated, the systematic and careful
manner in which the work was carried on here must be a matter OF
qualification to those who had the registration in charge.
Mayor TenBroeck was prompt to recognize the valuable assist
ance given by the school teachers in the work of tabulahon and copy
ing the registration cards. This was a decided help without which
the draft board would have been in a rather bad plight. 1t was a
day of hard work on the part of the teachers and the willing manner
in which they responded is another evidence of their intense loyalty
and desire to do everything within their power to help win the war.
To the volunteers, also, credit is due for the satisfactory manner
in which the registration was conducted here. 1t was purely a patri-
otto duty responded to with alacrhy that means victory in the end.
just why there was not a larger registration here of men be-
tween the ages fixed by the government is not yet explained. In pro-
portion to the number of regldrants between the ages of twenty-one
and thirty last year, there is a decided falling off that is difficult to
understand.
&It is possible that, even with all the publicity given the matter
and IN spite Of the fact that registration boards sat in the different
industries to register the employees, there are many foreigners who
did not understand the regulations and failed to comply with the law
If there are any number of such men, some way should be found to
reach them to avoid embarrassment in the future. Sooner or later
they will be asked to show their registration cards and if they cannot
produce them !; will go hard with them.
1t might not be amiss to have announcements made in the for
eignspeakng churches tomorrow calling attention to the registration
explaining that every man, whether a citizen or not, is expected to
register.
Perth Amboy has proven that she is not a city of slackers, for
coors speaks for the loyalty of the city. In fact, the quota for the
FIRST draft was, as evryone knows, based on a population far above
the actual population of the city.
As a matter of fact, more has been demanded of Perth Amboy
from the very beginning, not only in regard to the draft, but in
quotas fixed for various campaigns, than was justified by conditions
and gone ahead to make good, going over the top time after time.
When 1t comes to holding up her end and maintaining her reputa-
lion as a pacemaking city, Perth Amboy can be depended upon to
deliver the goods.

ANOTHER TEST DAY TOMORROW

Tomorrow we have another 'gasess'' Sunday. Every patriotic
citizen will willingly comply with the governments request that au-
tomobnes be not used as long as the gasoline is needed by General
Pershing In carrying on his magnificent offensive that, for the last
two days, has thrilled every loyal American heart. .
Our boys are going over the. top, men, carrying the stars and
stripes to victory. They are facing German bullets, dying OIL te
aatueneid and suffering untold agonies from German gas, all to make
TINS nanon safe and to keep our homes inviolate.
The least that we, who are here enjoying the comforts of home,
can do IS to tie up the little old fivver for a day and save the gaso-
line that we might otherwise use for our own pleasure.
II you Thick it is a hardship to go without your customary pleas
ure on Sunday, think of the pleasures the boys "over there" are do
ing without and your own little sacrifice becomes as nothing.
only slackers of the worst kind will use their automobiles to-
morrow unnecessarily. And the necessity will have to be very great
10 cause a real American to be seen using gasoline.
Cars that do appear on the streets ought to be trailed by in
sPeetors watching for the slightest pretense to make an arrest. A
speed tmt Is the least more than twelve miles an hour is sufficient
. take n driver into custody the slightest infraction of the traffic
orunahee ought 70 mean an arrest. And once these petty specimen
OF humanity are IN the tolls Of the law they should get the limit

ONLY TAKES ONE FOR THIS

nations that civilization has built up
1t does not take two to devastate Belgium, to murder urn II
al driving those who survive into slavery.
IT does not take two to make targets OF Red Cross hospitals III
bomb;np raids: to murder innocent women and children at prayer IN
church on Good Friday.
It does not take two to conduct piracy In the high seas, attack
inc neaceful passenger liners sending thousands of non-combatants

1t does not take two to plan and scheme against a friendly ma

1t does not take two to cruelty captured soldiers; to cut OFT the
hands Of little children as they cling to the skirts of their mothers;
TO MAIN. mutilate and inoculate with disease germs inhabitants OF

No, we do not believe that there are two nations IN the world that
would be guilty of such barbarous atrocities.
While it takes two to make peace, as the kaiser says, 1t taxes
only one to commit al. these outrages, and others too terrible tt men

kaiser himself.
The second party that the kaiser refers to as being necessary

Today We Celebrate
The Death Of weIIinUton

Inc Death OF wellington.
1t Is a curious coincidence that
three OF the greatest military leaders
of all time were subject to epileptic
attacks. Julius Caesar and Napoleon.
as Is well known. were victims of the
dread disease. n the Duke OF Well
ington, h conQueror of Napoleon
was attacked late in life and sue
cumbed to the ailment when he Was in
his eighty-fourth year.
1t was stxty-six years ago today,
Sept. IA. 1852, that Wellington
breathed his last in Walmer Castle,
one OF the official residences bestowed
upon him by a grateful o D II
was his habit to spend two months OF
each autumn in this ancient pile, one
OF the three castles built by Henry
VIII. to defend the low coast near
Walmer and Deal. Here the English
hero spent most of his time. when
not riding or walking. In his bed
room. which served also as library
and study. This room was furnished
in an extremely simple style. His
IRON military bedstead was only three
feet wide. and the mattress but three
inche thick. He had one coverlet
one small pillow. and nothing else.
The Duke rose at six every morning
and walked on the ramparts of the
castle. His day was apportioned
with the utmost regularity. and his
guests were compelled TO fall In with
his mode OF life.
The Duke rode and walked as usual
on the day prior TO his death. On
the morning OF Sept. II. 1852, a serv-
ant went to call him at the CUSTOM
airy hour of six. and. hearing a faint
groan, entered the room and found
his hlustrious master III. The Duke
requested that an ~apothecary, Mr..
Hulke OF Deal. be summoned. Tina
gentleman arrived between eight and
nine, n found the aged Duke In ar
epileptic Mt. similar 30 the one from
which he had suffered some years be-
fore. The apothecary returned tc
Deal to prepare some medicines. In
the meantime the ~epileptic symptoms
grew worse. and the Dukes son. Lord
Charles Wellesley. sent messages e
London. summoning three family
physicians. Two were out OF the city
and the third arrived too late. Dur
Ing h day the Duke suffered much
and spoke occasionally, but hi,
words were unintelligible. At foui

Luke McLnke Says.
II Q man hasn't made a fool of HIM
self by the time be is 30 he has found
some woman to do II for him.
Funny that a man never talks about
the blessings of Poverty until he has
so much money that he doesn't know
what to do with It
What has become OF the old-fash-
Toned woman who used to say that
her husband was a street angel and a
home devil.
The surest way to find happiness is
to make others happy. Try IL once
and you Will find that this is the truth.
Ever notice haw hard 1t Is for a
man to pay you back a dollar he owes
you without acting as If he were con-
ferring a great favor7
Even though he doesn't do q blame
thing to help her. a woman can't help
loving a husband who is always tell
ing her that she works too hard.
A shfftless men thinks he has a
good argument when he says that II
everybody saved their money. how
would anybody get any to save.
You may also have noticed that
when there are " or six Kids in the
family Father doesn't wear much jew
liar.
Every man has a sore spot, and n
you talk to him long enough you'll
find what IL Is.
While we are against Prohibition
we will admit that IL 1t wasn't for the
treating habit a man wouldn't drink
one-half as much as he does
And a fall doesn't. hurt a girl so
much when she knows that she has
the kind of legs that go well with a
bathing suit.
When a busy man gets a letter
from his wife he first turns TO the p,
s. to find out why she wrote him.
We do not are who he Is or how
long he has been married. no husband
wants his wife to know everything he
knows about himself
The man who praises you Is q
brainy fellow and a student OF human
nature But the man who praises
your enemy Is a common. ordinary

Why is Il that not one woman IN
a hundred shakes hands az II she
meant it7
II a girl Is pretty enough. sh'
doesn't even need wings on her hai
to make a man think she Is an angel

Sport Snapshots
(By Jack Keene.)

In the squad of Yankees now I'M
der the direction Of Miller Higgins
are ex-members Of every other club
in the American league. All the
regular infielders drew salaries at
| some time or another from other
clubs-Pipp from Detroit. Pratt
from st. Louis, Peckinpaugh from
Cleveland and Baker from PhiladeI-
phia. The three other clubs are rep
resented on the pitching staff, as
| Mogridge once worked for the White
| Sox, Bedient for the Red Sox and
Love for the Senators. This COM
pletes the list of clubs, but not the
| list of ex-members, as both Ruel and
| Marsans have been with the Browns,
Finneran with the Tigers and Babe
with the Mackmen and White Sox.
Beck, Gilhooley and Miller, like Hug
| gins and Pat O'Connor, are ex-Car-
played with any other major league
club.
For the reason that catchers as a
rule do not play every day it Is a
rare thing for a backstop to be ap-
| pointed field captain of a team, yet
Bill Killefer holds that position on
the league leading Cubs.
Fred MitchelFs choice Of Paw
Paw Bill for the post was wise
one, however, as the hustling re-
ceiver Is in the game frequently, and
in the game or out of 1t he keeps
his teammates on the jump. Kill
lefer is the type Of player who ale
ways has his head up and his heart
in his work. In short, the sort OF
fellow who is popular with players
and fans alike, and he makes an
able field leader for the Windy City
club.
Frank J. Farrell, former owner Of
the Yankees, has returned to this
racing game. He purchased Star
Gazer the other day and Is on the
lookout for other good horses. FAR
rell once raced in partnership with
Julius Flieschmann of Cincinnati and
