PoINcARE's ELoQuENcE.

President Poincare's speech of wei,
come to President Wilson in Paris
must go down in the great oratory OF
the war as one of the masterpieces OF
the era. In language that carried
force and feeling with every sentence
the great French statesman told of
the meaning of the American Presi-
dents presence in France. The speech
fairly bulged with happy thought and
pungent truth. Perhaps its most
forceful utterance was this, following
the early words of welcome:
Some months ago you cabled to
me that the United States would
send ever increasing forces until
the day should be reached on
which the allied armies were able
to submerge the enemy under an
overwhelming flow of new divi-
sions, and, in effect, for more than
year steady stream of youth
and energy has been poured out
upon the shores of France.
No sooner had they landed than
your gallant battalions, fired by
their chief, General Pershing,
flung themselves into the combat
with such manly contempt of
danger, such smiling disregard
of death, that our longer expert.
ence of this terrible war often
moved us to counsel prudence.
They brought with them, in arriv-
ing here, the enthusiasm of Cru
saders leaving for the Holy Land.
And then toward the end M. Poin-
care, abiding to the meaning Of peace,
said:
Peace must make amends for
the misery and sadness of yester-
day, and 1t must be guarantee
against the dangers of tomorrow.
The association which has been
formed for the purpose of war,
between the United States and the
Allies, and which contains the
seed of the permanent institutions
of which you have spoken SO elo- +
quently, will find from this day
forward clear and profitable en-

France could offer, this gracious well
come to the ruler of a people whose
traditions had long been linked with
Lafayette and Rouchambeau. What
a momentouss event to have an Ameri-
can President in Europe! How preg-
nant with the fullness of emphasis to
the new order! How significant of
the promise of the peace that is to be
guaranteed the world In honoring
our President France is also placing a
chaplet of loyalty on her own brow.

BoeIEs AND STRAW MEN.

Building bogies and making men Of
straw appears to be the busiest part of
the politicians game at present. With
President Wilson in Europe, excite
ment must be maintained. Wall Street
is having the time of its life boosting
the anti-Wilson program, as witness
the antagonistic press.
But let it all go. It's dollars to
doughnuts we get satisfactory peace,
else we shall revert to condition
worse than the pre-war state. Few
believe that to be possible

81 hate to swear" said resident of
Cumbermede road this week, "but
can't help it when 1 think of the
bloomin' fool thing they did in
Cumbermede road by dumping cart
loads of yellow, gummy clay between
the Berkey home and Bride way. The
road surface is now cut into ruts,
which are as hard as bones when
frozen, and sharp enough to cut an
auto through. A jackass should have
known better"
Mrs. Dr. Theophilus Nelson, who
was recently operated on in New York,
was brought home on Sunday last and
will be nearly recovered in week or
10 days.
Somebody keeps spelling the name
of Edward NJ Caffall with X. Now
there is no X in Mr.. Caffall's name.
and the printer who makes the mistake
again will be tabooed. The idea Of
anyone spelling Caffall with X, any
how. Who would ever think Of such a
thing? Anyhow, Brother Caphall, we
are deuced sorry we are such bad
spoilers.

A Masonic Funeral.

The Masonic rites held over the body
of the late Ernie Schmidt at his home
last week was an unusual occasion for
many in the village who had never
before witnessed a Masonic funeral.
The members of the Fort Lee order of
Masons filed into the spacious parlors
of the residence at s 80 o'clock, about
20 strong, in the regalia of the order,
white apron and gloves on, led by
George Lane, the senior warden, who
recited the service in his beautiful
resonant voice, admirably adapted for
such an occasion, the lines emphasiz-
ing the fraternal meaning of Masonry
in most significant manner. 1t was
the same ceremony that is generally
offered at the grave of Masons, and
was received by those present as a
very beautiful and tender tribute TO
the departed friend and brother

FRANKIE BURNS 29
 YEARS OLD TODAY

Frankie Burns, the bantamweight boxer, will celebrate his 18th birthday today, as he was born June A, 1889, at Jersey City. In the opinion of many fight fans the little Jersey City scrap per is the boss of the bantamweights. Early in 1912 Frankie fought Johnny Coulon for the title at New Orleans, but lost the decision at the end of 20 rounds. Many of those present be- lieved that the Jersey lad was enti- tied to the decision and the title and at worst he probably should have had a draw. The Crescent City was again the scene of a championship battle in which Burns figured in December, 1915, when he fought a fast and furi- ous 20-round draw with Kid Will Hams. Burns has been fighting since 190S and, although he has engaged in considerably more than a hundred battles, his defeats could be counted on the fingers of a one-armd man. Frankie has often tackled feather weights when the bantamweight crop was shbrt, and has fought several good featherweights to a standstill 1 In 1913 Frankie lost the decision to Eddie Campi in a 20-round' battle at ] Vernon, but he later held the Califor- nian to a draw in a 15-round engage ment at Denver. Burns has always ! been a straight, fair boxer, and it Is i seldom that he fails to give the fans run for their money.

Dave Robertson to
 Play With Giants

Norfolk, Va, June 24-Davey Rob- ertson is going to return to the New 1ork Giants. This announcement comes from a relative of the hard hitting outfielder. The player is ex pected to report to Manager McGraw within the next three or four days.
 It is said that the New York club offer and that the contract is so con- structed that Davey will not have to play on Sundays. Robertson has al- ways been against donning a uniform on the Sabbath.
 McGraw has been dickering with Robertson the past two weeks. Now that Benny Kauff has been called to serve the colors the Giants are in q bad fix for outfielders.
 With Larry Doyle still unable to play, it is expected that McGraw win shift Pep Young to second base, tenn porarily at least, and Robertson will take up his old position in right field,
 Robertson announced his retiring from baseball during the winter. Since the worlds series last October, he has been employed in the United States Department of Justice. He was put in a deferred classification in the draft because of a defective knee.

SPEARS INCREASES
 LEAD AT VELODROME

Newark, N. J., June A - Bob Spears, the speedy Australian, in- creased his lead in the battle for the International bicycle championship by winning the half mile tituIar race at the Velodrome yesterday.

 HARTFORD, S-5 Big Batting Bee at New Haven -Christe Shines
 At Third.

New Haven, June 24-Clarkin's Senators in their first Sunday appear ance in this city in several seasons lost a slugging bee to the New Ha- ven nine at the Light yesterday af- ternoon, Murphy's crowd grabbing the long end of the battle by a score of to 5. The visitors got off to a good start, securing three runs in the opening inning, but before the third inning was finished Meyerjack was driven to cover under an avail anche of hits, the locals garnering three hits in the second frame for a run and in the third connected for three more with a couple of free passes which netted four runs. Cook replaced Meyerjack and received a like dose in the fourth, singles by tSimpson and Ball ,and a corking triple by Moose Miller, counting for three runs as Low allowed the return throw from O'Neil to get away from him and Moose tallied.
 Tyler twirled for the New Haven CTS and though touched for total of 12 hits was especially effective in the pinches, 12 runners being left strand ed on the sacks.
 Leid, Christie, Pjura and Miller won hitting honors for the Murlins, the first three each getting two hits apiece, while Miller's triple was easily the best of the game. Christie also played a bang up game at the dizzy corner. Nutter pulled a fine catch off We're in the second inning, doubling Meyerjack at second, who had bolted for third on the hit.

AGAINST
 DRAFT RULING Says It Keeps Up Morale of Public Protests
 Ruling.

Salisbury Beach, Mass, June A. John K. Tener, president of the Ma tional League, yesterday announced that he will protest against the pro posed classification of baseball as a non-essential industry under General Crowder's work or fight order on the ground that baseball is one of the necessities of the nation for keeping up it's morale during the period of the world war. In addition he also will protest on the ground that pro- fessional baseball has millions of dol lars invested in it and that any ac- ton which would tend to do away with the national pastime would work havoc with legitimate invest ment, involving a fortune.
 MT. Tener asserted that Gen. Crowder's classification of profes- sional baseball as a non-essential in dustry would be an unjust discrimi- nation against an organization that is doing much to preserve the spirit of the public during these trying times, and that our national game, a clean branch of athletics, is doing consid- erable to make the burdens of the public lighter and better fit our peo- pie to take up the war duties as they may appear. His statement follows: "An Essential Industry "In these times we must do every thing possible to win the war We are agreed on that point and I be- lieve> 1t right and proper that base ball players should respond to the calls that come to them in whatever | classes of the selective draft they may be placed by local boards, just the same as if they were engaged in any other business or profession. But professional baseball should not be designated as among the non- essential industries. It is essential to the morale of the people. The young men find recreation in it, and it keeps them fit for any call that may come. They acquire ability to think quickly and to act with agility. | Many of the players, particularly those of the Giants, own farms, and only portion of their time is de- voted to baseball.
 They are producers and during their temporary absence on the ball field their crops are growing under competent supervision. Other play l eIS AdFe occupations that call for their attention many months in the year.
 Wants a Square Deal.
 T feel that the Government will decide that professional baseball shall be treated just as men in other great business enterprises are treated, and that justice will be done.
 Baseball is the great American game, and not only has it a secure place in the hearts of the people here but it interests the thousands of Americans in the army and navy now over there, so much so that many ot the foreign papers are carrying box scores of league games for theil benefit.
