the actual work to the northern indus
trial centers of the country, the
whole country would be amazed.
Nothing like the profiteering of party
out of the war has ever been seen COM
pared with what has been done for and
by hungry and deserving Democrats.
That any have been overlooked is in
credible. Almost all the South from
North Carolina to Texas has migrated
to Washington for pastures green,
while it has been left for Republican
industrial leaders to rise to the aid of
the Government and receive a small
return when wages, taxes Qeveled Sec

speaker at a meeting at the town hall
on Friday evening of this week to fire
the opening gun in the local end of
the United War Work drive. There
will also be a speaker from Camp Dix,
and local chairman Richard E. Lippin-
colt is trying to get arrangements
perfected for some special musical at
fractions. Senator Wells will make
one of his snappy addresses, and peo-
pie will surely come from the entire
countryside to hear him. His United
War Work speeches are among the
best he has ever made. He has already
made several and has new one fol
every occasion, his supply being APP

Major WinchelI Here Next
SUNDAY,

The United War Workers Campaign
will be started in Mount Holly in a
big union service of the churches at
the Methodist church on Sunday
morning at 1870. The speaker of the
service will be Major Wallace Win
chell, who has lately come from the
front lover there. Major Winchell
is one of the best speakers engaged in
this campaign and Mount Holly vas
especially fortunate in getting him for
this service. He is one of the big
efficient leaders of the Salvation Army
which is doing so much for our boys
lover there" In fact it is becoming
known that the Salvation Army is
the most popular organization at the
front yet the least is known or heard
concerning their services. The Roose-
welt boys wrote home to their father to
tell the American people not to forget
the Salvation Army because of its
wonderful service. Come to this SER
vice and hear this great message right
from the front and get the spirit of
this campaign, the most wonderful of
the whole war. 1t spells unity among
the forces that are doing so much for
righteousness in thewar-weary, sin sick
world in these days. Everyone is in
vited and urged to come to this big
Community Union service. Don't
miss hearing Major Winchell. He has
powerful message.

TRUTH STRANGE AS FICTION
Novel by William De Morgan Has
Counterpart in Real Life-Story
of Englishman.

A little more than ten years ago an
Englishman, deep in the sixties, won
great renown by going to a hospital.
His illness, though severe, was ordi-
nary enough. The use he made of his
convalescence distinguished him.
Propped up in bed, William De Nor
gan wrote his first novel. When he
was entirely recovered, he wrote an
other, which was destined to carry on
his fame around the reading world.
The book told the story of an engi-
neer returned to London after many
adventures. There mishap in the
tube caused him to lose his memory.
In the dszed state he lived a new life.
by chance he met his former wife. fell
in love with her and married her again.
Strange as was De Morgan's tale
critics said only he could make it con-
vincing-London itself has duplicated
it from life.
John Arthur Lewis, a returned sol.
der, was lately hailed into court for
absconding with money he had col.
lected for his employers.
His innocence was easily proved. On
the collecting trip he had been struck
by a van and injured. Bereft of his
memory he wandered over England,
arrived at his old home, and was in
troduced by his mother to a young
woman, said to be his wife.
He refused to accept his past until
one night the German airmen dropped
bombs, and the shock of the explosion
restored his memory. Then all came
back, even the uncompleted days
work of last August.
History here modifies the ancient OBJ
seyvation as to truth and fiction. Truth
is not stranger than good writing.
Rather the artist senses probably
ahead Of the facts and later reality
corroborates him. Who knows not at
least one Enoch Arden? Tennyson
guessed them all.

Political Notes.

Vote today and vote the Republican
! ticket. Not man on it but will be as
loyal to the government as any Demo
crat ever born.
A message was brought to the editor
of this paper few days ago that some
man "did not like our style of poll
tics" Nothing wonderful about that,
the real surprise is that only one man
felt that way. "Self praise is no recon-
mendation, it is said, but we cannot
help referring to one point. THE
NEWS has never refused to print adj
vertisements in favor of candidates of
any party for primary selection, but
after the ticket has been formed it has
declined to print any endorsement of a
Democratic candidate even though
there might be money in it. This is
the case this year. THE NEWS has
been offered two advertisements-on
favoring George LaMonte, Democratic
candidate for United States Senator,
The other praising President Wilson's
latest effort to elect Democratic Con-
gress. The two advertisements were
worth, financially, $50. Our "style of
politics, " however, was not of such a
greedy nature as to cause us to publish
something in one column that we
would roundly denounce in another

Seven Organizations Ask
for War Helm.


The United War Work campaign
movement was most entertainingIy ex-
planned at a parlor meeting held at the
residence of John D. Johnson, Jr., on
Saturday night, when about fifty peo-
pie heard Fred B. Freeman tell about
the things he saw overseas while in
charge of Y. NJ. c. A. war work at the
mammoth receiving station at Brest,
where thousands of American troops
landed. The meeting was arranged on
short notice and the attendance was
necessarily limited Mr.. Freeman was
in charge of the overseas Y. NJ. C. A.
work. about which he spoke, and his
first-hand information about the WON
derful things being done among the
Allied forces abroad had an appealing
force that touched the common i'm
pulses of patriotism and devotion to
the cause represented by the United
War !Workers. His word pictures Of
the numerous activities he had the
privilege of seeing or being connected
with before he returned to this country
made it clear that the work done bv
the Americans exclusive of the fight
ing forces has been truly great. Mr.
Freeman s identified with Interna-
tional Y. M. c. A. work and has head
quarters in New York. He dealt
mainly with the war work about
which he knew the most, but did not
hesitate to impress upon his audience
the need for getting into the thick OF
the campaign and doing everything
possible to oversubscribe the war work
fund so there can be continuance oil
the necessary activities of the Y. M. C.
A, Y. w. c. A., Knights of Column
bus, Jewish Welfare Board, War Camp
Community Service, American Library
Association and Salvation Army.
The Mount Holly end of the cam
paign is showing much activity and
every day brings out some new devel
opment that is encouraging to The
campaign organizers, and the same
can be said of the entire county. All
of the workers are measuring up tt
the importance of making this driv,
one of the greatest successes of gu
war days, The campaign to actual,
raise money will begin next MONDAY
and continue until the 18th.

Affairs at Court.

| Judge Lippincott's first business,
Thursday, was bearing the appeal OF
James Mercer Davis on behalf of w.
III. Hartman, of Pemberton, who had
been sentenced to the county Jail for
driving an automobile while he was
under the Influence of liquor. The al
legged offence was committed. on the
Haddonfield road, near Moorestown,
and the complaint was made before
Justice Pettitt. The complainant was
Isaac w. Evers, and he charged that
Mr.. Hartman was under the influence
of liquor and by reason of that fact was
otherwise disorderly. The defendant
denied the charge, but the justice said
guilty" and imposed prison sem
tence. Mr.. Davis asked that the mat
ter be dismissed mainly on technical
grounds. He showed that the COM
plant was improperly made out.
The complainant was Isaac w. Evers,
who is not justice of the peace, yet
the papers showed that the charge was
made before him by himself. Even if
he had held the Office he could not
have brought charges before himself.
There were many discrepancies in the
papers and Mr.. Davis contended that
the proceedings were all irregular.
Judge Lippincott reserved his decision.
The main facts in the case were not
discussed. They will probably be left
for another time. Mr.. Hartman denies
being under the influence of liquor. He
was driving along the road in question
and attempted to pass truck which
was without the required legal light.
Some words passed between the driver
of the truck and Hartman and the lat
ter possibly did get slightly ruffled and
might have used some vigorous Ian
guage. 1t is possible that the truck
driver may find himself within the
clutches of the law for not having a
proper light.
Viola Haines, of Lumberton, pleaded
guilty to foruication with Camp Dix
soldier.
The three girls who were before the
court the previous week on a similar
charge were not sentenced, the cases
being laid over for another week.
Florence Mitchell, who had pleaded
not guilty to charge of fornlcation,
was brought in to be tried by the court.
Prosecutor Kelsey said he did not think
it was just the time to go ahead with
this case as he had received informa-
ton that caused him to ask for a post
ponement.
William II. Heisler, who had been
appointed by the court to defend the
woman, objected to any delay. He said
this case had been in the hands of the
prosecutor at least two weeks and that
seemed to be ample time for anybody
to get ready. The woman, he contend
ed, had right to speedy trial and he
protested against her being held in Jail
because the prosecutor s Office had not
been able to prepare case in two
weeks.
Judge Lippincott put the case down
for hearing next Thursday. In doing
this he partially agreed with Mr.. Heis.
Ter. He felt that the woman should
not be kept in custody an unnecessary
length of time, and if the prosecutor
had any other facts in the case and
wanted to make additional charges i
was his duty to do so at once. /
should be decided whether this cas-,
was one to be tried by the court or hell
for the grand jury. He ordered MI
Kelsey to present at once whatever ad
ditional facts he had.
