There is new social problem for the
Germans to settle. There are 100000
widows in Germany where there used to
be 100000. The men to whom are en-
trusted the bettering of the birth rate
are out with proposition not to let any
of these widows re-marry. Men who
want to marry must marry the single
women for whom there aren't anywhere
near men enough to 60 around. They
must have such chance as there is.-Hol-

might bring up their family under con-

and many Of US thought they were max
ing a serious mistake in disposing of
their newly built home, walking away
from lucrative practice, saying good
bye to their friends of years and cast
ing their lot in a strange field, away
from friends and without any assur-
ance as to what the future might offer.
But the loss was ours, not theirs. Tho
Robinsons believed in the best things
and stood for the best things, and like
some of the rest of us they stood almost
alone at times. Too nearly so to alto.

LIBERTY LOAN MEETING

The meeting held in the Avenue NJ,
E. Church last Saturday evening was
a success in attendance, in the amount
it subscribed for, and the patriotic
enthusiasm shown. S4S,700 was sub
scribed for at the meeting, and that
put the town of Milford over with the
minimum amount assigned to her.
which was $205,00O.
The meeting was addressed by Judge
Wescott of Camden, n j., who mis-
judged the audience as to politics but
not as to patriotism. His praise of
President Wilson was approved. but
his remarks derOgatOry to Theodore
Roosevelt aroused resentment with
many who were present.
The result of this subscription, and
the others which have been made dur
ing the present week, have entitled
Milford to a flag Of honor. which will
probably be presented with elaborate
ceremonies at an early date.
Greenwood is another Sussex town
which has earned an honor flag, as
has Glendale, Lincoln and other viii
lages.
