PLAN FOR
RUSS MONARCHY
Lord Cecil Says Aim Is to
Maintain Chaos German
Troops Occupy Country.

LONDON, Sept 9:3That the ulti-
mate aim of the Germans Is to re-
establish some kind of a monarchy in
Russia, is the view of Lord Robert
Cecil, assistant foreign secretary.
Germany's present aim, Lord Rob-
ert said, Is. first, to get all the food
and supplies she can out of Russia,
and second, to keep the country in
as muc disorder and disorganizatipn
as possible in order to prevent her
from recovering and becoming a pos
sible menac to Germany's ultimate
aims.
And 1t is to attain the immediate
aims hat the Germans are working
hand in hand with the Bolsheviki.
Lord Robert also said it has been
reported that the Germans have sent
troops into Siberia, on the pretext of
looking after German and Austrian
prisoners, but in fact to help the
Bolsheviki and German prisoners to
operate against the Czecho-Slovak
army.
Some London officials express the
opinion that recognition of the Czecho-
Slovak army as conducting a regular
warfare means that under interna-
tional law any of them captured by
Austrians cannot be executed as
"rebelS."

France. Aug. is. 1915.
Dear Mother and Father:
Just a few lines to let you know that
I am in the best of health and hope
to hear likewise of yourself and the
rest of the family.
1 am sitting In a Red Cross hut be-
hind the lines writing this little mes
sage to you all. You are receiving
letters from me quite regular. I tried
to find out where Eddie Is stationed
over here, but it Is very hard. They
won't let you tell the name of the
town. The town I am in just at pres
ent is called Bordeaux and is the third
largest city in France. Some place,
too. 1t is a regular treat because we
just came out of the big drive.
Do you hear from Eddie and Nathan
very often? Dc the papers give you
lot Of interesting news? Well, how
is old Perth Amboy getting along any
way. l guess it must be awful dead
because most of the young men are
in the service.
I surely was surprised to hear thai
Eddie was over here. 1 wrote him q
just as soon as you told me that
left the United States. If 1 ever get
to Berlin I'll try n get the kaiser's
mustache for a watch fob. l haven't
met anyone over here that l know
from Perth Amboy yet. / guess they
all training for the trenches.
/ sure had my hands full for a while
when / was chasing the Heinies. I
the "Kiezer" thinks it's all over
with him now and the Crown Prince
are fighting his best men and be-
me they know who the best men
are when they try to fool with Uncle
1 guess you read of the first and
divisions. Well, l belong to
the fighting second and some fighters,
too. I'm afraid / can't say any more
in regards to the war so I will swing
on some other subject.
l hope papa feels better han he did
the last time l saw him. 1t has been
year ago since l vas home but It
doesn't seem that long, doe 1t?
Oh, IL / could only run across Eddie
I ure would be happy because I didn't
see him when 1 was home. It's four
years since I ave seen HIM. Well,
let's hope for the best and we know
victory belongs to the Allies. I
must close now. l remain, as ever,
Your son,

My Dear Mother:
Just a few lines to let you know
that l am In good health, hoping you
and the family are the same. I can
not write very much this time. We
have lot been moved since the last
letter. We are still going to school,
but do not know how long it will last.
1 think It will not be very long before
we will be with the rest of the boys.
l would like to knew person or per-
sons who made the remark Sunny
France. 1t a been raining every
day since the last two weeks. We
do everything between showers. The
mud here seems to be a special brand.
Sticks to our feet like flies to fly pa
enough, but when we add about five
pounds of mud 1t makes quite a load
to carry.
The first night we arrived here the
Germans paid UP a visit in the early
morning hours. There certainly was
some fireworks for about thirty min
utes. 1 found out why they gave us
at home do not know what fire.
works are. We will be able to eat
fire crackers when we get back. On
n of our travels we were only four
miles from the firing line. 1t looked
as though everything seemed to be in
ruin. L guess the dirty Hun is being
paid his debt, especially as far as the
are concerned, as you can
see from the papers at home.
There are plenty OF dugouts where
we are camped. If any real trouble
started we could find shelter. 1t will
to come a little thicker before I
am going to get out of my palace in
the early morning hours.
1 have seen a few holes that were
made by German shells. They GER
tainly made some impression in the
dirt. Big enough to hold at least
fifty men. They way the Sammies
and French are pushing the Huns
makes 1t look as though this will not
long.
1 sent a letter to DR.. Cantwell, as 1
know he was interested In the boys.
I have heard that Patsy had been
gassed and Is in one of the hospitals.
He Is about cured now. He may not
see the line again.. I am waiting for
answer from him. I have met
quite a few of the boys from home.
I want you to write to be as often as
you can ven If you say you are all
well. That Is my chief worry. Do
worry about me. Well,I will draw
to a close. Love to all.
Your loving son,
JOHN.

Mcdonald Calls for Full
Registry at All Polls
BIZ Special Correspondent.

6y cV6C5ot correspondent
TRENTON. Sept e:-CaIllng atten-
ton to the apparent lack of interest
in governmental affairs at this time. a.
shown by the small vote in those
states which have already conducted
their primary elections. Charles +. Nc
Donald, chairman of the Democratic
state committee, today issued a state
ment, declaring that no American
should stand aloof from politics this
year and urging all citizens to regis
ter tomorrow in their respective poll
ing places. The state chairman says
it is the duty Cd every man at home
to see to 1t that a free government Is
maintained for the oys who are fight
light abroad, n every man irrespec-
tive OF his political affiliations should
see to 1t that his name Is added to the
voting list tomorrow. McDonald's
statement Is as follows:
Observation-Disclosures Registry
Day.
''The reason 1 am directing particu-
lar attention to registry day this a
is due to the fact that In other states
men are apparently taking but little
interest in politics and governmental
affairs.
For example, in California this
year less than thirty per cent. of the
enrolled voters participated In the pr-
maries; in Illinois less than ~thirty-ive
per cent; in Wisconsin less than forty
per cent; in Wyoming less than
twenty per cent, while in New York
last week with a bitter contest going
on in the Republican party between
Whitman and Lewis. only twenty-sev-
en- per eel of the enrolled Republi-
cans voted In the primaries. In the
Democratic primaries withno contest,
twenty-three per cent. of the enrolled
voters participated.
IT believe that at this critical mo-
ment in our nations history, when we
are engaged In a world war for the
overthrow of autocracy, to which we
have given the flower of our manhood
and have sent them across h seas to
fight and def need be-for the lib
erty and freedom of the world. every
man who remains at home should heed
and pay attention to public affairs.
Our boys on the battle line will
have fought and some Of them will
have died in vain unless we who are
at home will see to 1t that we have
maintained for them a free govern
ment. The claims of the nation de-
mand that every man in New Jersey
this year should go to the polls and
vote.
while I am interested In the suc-
cess of the Democratic ticket this
year. because I believe hat the Demo-
cratic party is the party of true prog
ress, 1 am directing particular atten-
ton to Registry Day because / believe
that every man, no matter what his po-
litical opinions and beliefs are, should
vote.
mo American should stand aloof
from politics this year. No American
should consider his private business to
be of more importance than matters
of state this year.
Thousands of our young men have
been called to the ~colors,' and the
ia ct that they are fighting for us over
there should stimulate is to look
after their interests In public over
here Let YER man go to the polls
and register tomorrow"

Famous N omen
Euscbia

Eusebia
Eusebia was the abbess of st. Cyr.
or st. Saviour, at Marseilles. and is
said by ancient French c%hroniclers to
have cut off her nose, like the abbess
of Coldingham in England, to save
herself from the attentions of men.
The nuns under her are said to have
followed her example. This self mu-
~tilation tool place in 731, when the
Saracens invaded Provence. These
barbarians were so enraged at the
abbess and her nuns for their deed
that they murdered them all and set
fire to their nunnery. This Eusebia
must not be confused with tho great
mi who was the wife of Constan-
tinus. Emperor of the East and who
died in $50.
