THE OPINION OF NORTHCLIFFE

Also "of the work of the American
Red Cross and Y. NJ G. A., good as ii
has been, much more will yet be
heard"
He says, however, that the greatest
achievement of all was the Armada,
coming to Europe across the Atlantic
and arriving at moment when the al
lies, who had been suddenly attacked
by an enemy that had been preparing
since the reign of Frederick the Great,
were feeling the strain and stress OF
their effort. The most difficult under
takings had to be faced, such as the
creation of staff-a work entirely
new to most of those concerned in it.
"We have lost all sense of proper.
ton in this war. Just remember that
the number of British troops engaged
at the battle of Waterloo was only
about 24,00O, and the whole action
took place in an area only as large as
an ordinary race track"
He calls the advance of the Ameri.
can army through the Argonne forests
one of the most splendid exploits OF
the war, as the terrain was exceeding
ly difficult.
He also has good word for Colonel
House, saying that Colonel House is
well known to European statesmen
His great wisdom commands universal
respect here. His counsel helped Q
year ago to make the ultimate military
victory possible. We all believe thai
today his counsel will help insure ulti
mate unity of political and diplomat.

SERMON TO PALISADE
FOLK SAYS Time RIPE
FOR GREAT AWAKENING

The Palisade Church had out a very
good sized congregation last Sunday to
hear Rev. Guhse ON his subject of
"When the Boys Come Home" The
sermon was not altogether related to
the subject, though it had very di-
rect application to it. when the
Boys Come Home" meant in his inter-
probation an entirely revamped ideal
of what American citizenship should
represent and new set of ideals we
could all build to. Our men were re-
turning, he said, with the great cen
trail thought that the war had been
won on the highest principle that had

And while Peter made adequate re-

so repeated his questioning that there
could be no doubt of the things that
Peter was to put aside in order to
prove his love for the Master.
The minister then went on to elab-
crate upon the thought as to what
Jesus might say were he here today
in Palisade.> He would ask, do you
love me enough to face the facts?"
You know, he said, the tasks of the
church universal today. All peoples
are today laying down a definite plan
to face the facts as never before

Board of FreehOlders this week In
asking the State Highway Commission
to begin work on Route 10, the high
way that has been surveyed to cut
through Bluff road and mutilate the
village and destroy property values.
The board took it's action, too, In the
face of the avowal of Mayor White
that if it is undertaken it viii have
to be done over his carcass. He will
now have opportunity to throw him
self in the way of the road builders.
The board at it's meeting Wednes-
day adopted resolution which ems
bodied request to the commission
for permission to reconstruct that psx-
ton of Route No. 10 between the cor
porate limits of Hackensach and Lit
tie Ferry, distance of 81 miles. The
money for this improvement would be
advanced by the county, the state re-
funding the money, as provided for in
the state road act.

Not Pay
Lay-Up Is Threatened
Many Steamships Held in
u. S. Ports for Lack of
Bunker Coal
[Staf C,-cspondenccl

WASHINGTON. Feb. 10. The with
drawal Of several hundred thousand
tons OF Norwegian sailing ships from
the Atlantic aid Pacific trades is
threatened on. account of prevailing
freight rates, which, the Norwegian
owners assert, do not pay. In addition,
Norwegian steamships now in American
ports are being prevented from sail
ing by their inability to obtain bunker
coal. occasioned by the owners refusing
10 sign q War Trade Board regulation.
This regulation. it was learned to-
day, would ohligate the several Nor
wegian shipping companies to engage
not to withdraw 3 single one Of their
vessels from service, risk the owners
refuse to take in the absence of guar
antees that they will be protected d
against loss. The owners maintain
that such an undertaking, to be bind
ing. rs it is desired by the American
War Trade Board, for the duration of
the war, cannot be entered into by
them in the abseAce OF the following
assurances;
Guarantees Demanded
/. That q guarantee will be given
that the freight rates now prevailing
shall be raised in the event of war

2. That guarantee be given that
the present rates shall not be low

The difficulty is preventing the sail
ing for France, Italy and other coun-
tries Of loaded vessels carrying essen
tial war supplies.
The Norwegian owners are satisfied
with the present steam rates. which to
the South American east coast points
are 80 shi.lings and to South American
west coast points are 30 shillings per
ton. he negotiations do not involve
Norwegian vessels serving Britain, as
the rates and other arrangements with
that country are declared authoritative
y to be satisfactory n every particue
lar, including the necessity of having

Concerning Norwegian shipping losses
it was asserted to-day that, contrary to
3 popular belief, the losses of lives had
amounted to only 700. not the very
much larger figures which have been
stated, although the loss of tonnage has
amouned to more than 100000 tons.
