AMERICAN FORCES
WILL BE SPFEDED
TO FRENCH FRONT
President Wilson Holds Ses-
sion With War Council at
Capital Today

Washington, March 27.-Presideni
Wilson went into session with his
"war council" again this afternoon
the second conference of its kind al
the White House.
The west front drive has accentu
ated the need, officials say, for speed
ing American forces to Europe more
rapidly than ever and the addition OF
Secretary Daniels and Acting Secre
tary of War Crowell to the group OF
war chiefs today led to belief that
measures for increasing troops and sup
plies in France were to be further
discussed.
Before he conference convened Pres
ident Wilson was informed of the lat
est news from the west front situation.
The ''war council'' VIII meet every
Wednesday afternoon, it was officially
learned today, thus causing the pres
ident to sit at least three times week
with advisers twice with his cabinet
and once with his "council.

SECOND HONE GUARD
COMPANY FORMING
M. |. Meyers Suggests Com
pany of Business Men and
Il MateriaEzed

In one day last week, 100 members
for the second home guard company
for Salem were signed up by commit
tee appointed for the purpose. M. L.
Meyers, w. H. Dancy, and E. T. Balm
worked about four hours among the
business men, and George Brown and
A. w. Chinook made the rounds of
the state house with the result that
the work was done in one day, and a
very short day at that.
The orga anization of the company,
which will probably be a part of the
military organization of the state, will
be delayed for a few days until the
details of the work of organizing the
proposed state constabulary can be eff
fected. 1t is expected that the new
company as WE'LL as company d, now
organized, will be armed and equip
ped at The states expense, and will form
a part of the militia.
The new company is the result of the
belief that salem should have COM
pany for guard duty which could re-
main in the city when the older com
pany is called out for state duty. 1t
is the intention of members of com
pany D to do police work over the state
if called on, and the new company
will be formed of business men only,
and will form a reserve force for use
locally only, in an emergency.
There is a possibility that, in the
event of the states deciding against
the formation of another Salem COM
pany, the new organization will be
made a part of the county's fighting
force, and will be under the direction
of the sheriff. This is the system be.
ing used in other counties where the
state militia is not formed. The Multi
nomah guards is an organization Of
this nature.
The matter will probably be taken
before the county court by Mr.. Meyers,
and the position of the county ascer
tained. 1t is not believed that the
county organization will be pecessary,
but those in charge believe that any
organization will be better than none
at all. The local guard has received
no assistance from the county, the
Company d does not contemplate ask
ing for money at this time, it lis stated

HEALTH r

Perth Am5oy can well afford to be generous with the health
department of the city. 1t cannot afford to be stingy.
The health department has been robbed fits just share of the
city's funds for so many years that what might appear to many as
an enormous sum now in comparison with what has been approlri
aed heretofore is really no more than is rightfuly coming to the
health department.
We have had our lesson as to what health means. We are just
beginning TO wake up to the fact that we, as a city, are away behind
other places in the matter of sanitation, inspection and preventive
measures for spreading disease. 1t would be well for the city fathers
to investigate a little az to what other cities are doing to protect the.
health of their people before they judge too hastily as to the amount
of money that the health department should have for next years
work. 1t WIZ be found that in many places a corps of inspectors is
on duty all the time; that weekly reports are made of conditions in
public eating houses; that clinics and dispensares are maintained
for the benefit of the poor; that district nurses are making daily
rounds instructng mothers as to tho care of infants and helping to
keep The homes clean.
There are things that Perth Amboy, with her great cosmopolitan,
population, ought to have had long ago. Now is the time to get them
We have had brought home TO us the necessity of health. Without
health our schools are closed, our factories shut down and business
IN general comes to a standstll. Truly, health is first.
Now Is the time to really accomplish something. We believe the
the people of the city viii stand back Of the aldermen in any move
to make Perth Amboy a cleaner and healthier city to live in, lust as
they have stood behind them in building up the educational system
of the city.
Let us BIZ all means have an efficient health department Money
Is nothing if We cannot have health.

Considering once more the Presidents appeal to the people to
which so much exception has been taken, let us repeat the closing
paragraph of that most unusual document:
81 need not tell you, my fellow countymen, that L am
asking your support not for my own sake or for the sake OF
a political party, but for the sake of the nation itself, in or
der that its inward unity of purpose may be evident to all

Today We Celebrate
Lincoln's Wedding Anniversary.

Iincoln's Wedding Anniversary.
Four dollars @ week would hardly
be considered a lavish expenditure fol
a honeymoon for tho n~ewlyweds oil
this day and age, yet Abraham Lin
coin and his bride, Mary Todd, found
that sum quite sufficient after theiI
marriage, which took place in SPRING
field. ILL.,, seventy-six years ago today.
The love story of Abraham Lincoln
and Mary Todd is a very interesting
one. Nobody, least of all Lincoln him.
self. dreamed that the young attorney
would become President of the United
States, and one of the greatest names
in American history. There was vio-
lent opposition to the match on the
part of Mary Todd's relatives. who
based their objections on Lincoln's ex-
IRENE poverty.
After the marriage ceremony the
young couple went directly to the
Globe Tavern, in Springfield. There
they spent their honeymoon. at a cost
of 81 a week for board and room for
the pair.
Lincoln's bride was not he heroine
of his first romance. A. an earlier
date he was engaged ~ fIary Owens,
but they found later that they were
not made for one another" and SO
agreed to a parting of their ways.
Even before this, however, when Lin
coin was a clerk in a country store, he
had fallen in love with a young girl
named Ann Rutledge. She had been
engaged to a farmer who had Tilted
her, but abe" comforted her so eff
lively hat she transferred her affec-
lions to him. Poor Ann Rutledge died.
and the heartbroken Abe swore that
he would be faithful to her memory,
Perth Amboy evening news., 1918-11-04

and would never marry. He swore tho
same oath a second time after his ro-
nance with Mary Owens was blasted.
In q letter he wrote. II have now
come to the conclusion v again TO
think of marrying
Within q year after arriving at this
decision, Lincoln was paying marked
attention to Mary Todd. who, III
himself, was a native OF Kentucky.
Even In this case the course OF true
love was not entirely smooth. Some
months before the marriage Mary
Todd accused her affianced of being
cold and indifferent, and in a quarrel
that followed the engagement was
broken. That night Lincoln wrote TO
q friend: II am now the most miser-
able man living, and IL what I feel
were equally distributed to the whole
human family there would not be q
cheerful face on earth. Whether I
shall ever get better 1 cannot tell
awfully forbode that 1 shall not. To
as I am is impossible. / must
get better, or die. The quarrel was
soon patched up, and, on Nov. 4. 1912.
Mary Todd became Mrs. Abraham
Lincoln, and commenced that four
dollar-a-week honeymoon.
