LITTLE TERRIER IN TRENG
This Canine Warrior Was Not
"SIacker," but Didn't Care to
Go Over Top.

In those long lines of trenches in
France and Flanders, where Britisher
faces German, it is not all discomfort
and misery. During quiet hours we
play and joke. And we like nothing
better than some little pet-a dog or
cat, perhaps-to care for and look
after.
Cats are not uncommon In trench
land, many of them having been born
and bred there says Boys Life, the
boy scouts magazine. Unless kitten
or cat is actually taken from the
trenches, 1t makes that sector its
home, and is fed and cared for by the
troops which come In to hold the line
at that part. But a dog will follow
his unit about and soon becomes the
friend of all, and quite an important
being in the regiment.
Our little smooth-haired fox terrier
had taken up his quarters In a strong
redoubt near the front. The little dog
would quake with fear on hearing o
German shell in the afr, but after the
explosion would run about as before
realizing that the danger was past
Poor little Warrior stayed in the
trenches always. He would not follow
the men out, but would settle down
with the incoming unit. Many were
the jokes made at his expense. "War.
rior, old boy" a man would say, "if
was you'll would get transfer to some
nonfighting mob wot never comes up
and keep out of it well behind" But
Warrior wouldn't desert. Every time
the battalion came up to hold the line
there was the little terrier.

POINT TO BIBLICAL PROPHECY
Huns Claim That RussIa's Collapse
Was Foretoid In Verse in the
Book of Daniel.

Quotations from the Bible and the
use Of the name Of the Deity are ia
vorite methods Of the kaiser and his
subjects for trying to justify them
selves for bringing on the world dis.
aster. Now they have come forward
with verse from the Book of Daniel
to prove that biblical prophecy has
come true in the collapse Of the Rus
sian fighting forces. The verse is:
"And for the time that the daily
sacrifice shall be taken away. and the
abomlnation thas zaEern cess==s=:- s..
up, there shall be a thousand two hun
bred and ninety days"
The Germans point out that th'
period Of 1890 days corresponds witt
the period from August 1. 1914, wher
war began between Germany and Rus
STA, and February IL. 1918, when i
was announced that Trotzky had de
clared the war at an end.

Along the Shore.

David Harris last Tuesday found q
box buried at the foot of tree on his
farm in Writings that contained lot
OF old silverware and other valuables.
His mother said when a girl abe was
told that such box had been buried
when it was reported that Indians
were making raids in that vicinity
and that her grandfather had been
killed by Indians and no one had ever
learned where he had hidden the
household valuables
Heavy firing off Squan beach on
Tuesday was heard all along the coast,
and seemed to be about off Chadwicks.
1t is reported that convoy thought
they saw U-boat, and the warships
fred at it for some time. Whether
it was submarine or not. and wheth-
er or not it was hit issa mystery.
Alleged attempts on the part of the
First National bank of Lakewood to
acquire control Of the directorate of the
Peoples National bank of the same
place are involved in litigation start
ed in the court of chancery by Wilfred
H. Jayne, ST., against Geo. Gee, and
his son-in-Iaw, Cleveland c. Wallace.
Vice Chancellor Foster has allowed a
rule, returnable at Long Branch Sept.
ID, to show cause why Mr.. Gee should
not comply with the terms of an
agreement relative to the disposition
of stock held by him in the Peoples
bank. 1t is set out in the bill that
under the terms of the agreement
entered into among the stockholders
of the Peoples bank, opportunity
should first be given to stockholders
of that institution to acquire possess
ion of any of this stock to be offered
for sale. The allegation is made that
Mr.. Gee, who owned two shares of the
stock of the Peoples bank, violated the
terms of the agreement in assigning
his holdings to Mr.. Wallace, who is
interested in the First National bank
An action has been started in the
supreme court by Mr. Wallace to COM
pei the transfer of the stock formerly
owned by Mr.. Gee, which had been
refused by the Peoples bank. Pend
ing final determination of the rule. al
lowed by Vice Chancellor Foster, the
defendants are restrained from making
any disposition of the stock in ques-
ton, and also from the prosecution of
the suit in the supreme court.

Soldiers Recreation Activities

A number of new books were added
to the soldiers club house, on Satur
day, by Mrs. Mary B. Borden and Mrs
F. Aaronson. Two dollars also wer,
donated to the club by A. NJ erik
hank, of Waltham, Mass, through
Mrs. Fred Shemeley, and will be usec
to purchase a couple of valuable new
war books that may not reach The
library through some other source.
The club particularly needs volumes
of short stories, which the boys can
pick up and read while in the club. y
request is therefore repeated for short
stories by Jack London, Oppenheim,
Sherlock Holmes, and other story
writers. The WalIingford and Penrod
stories are in book form and would be
especially appreciated. Some church,
lodge or club could contribute splen-
did service by the donation of a COM
plete set of o. Henry and Kipling.
The library needsl Robert Services
Poems, and Bret Harris 'The Luck of
Roaring Camp" and other short
stories. 1.-THE Glory of the Trenches
by Coningsley Dawson, is one of the
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES of present war
literature. 1t should be in every home
as well as in the hands of every soldier.
Who will make a contribution of this
book to the Soldiers clubhouse ?
The vases of flowers, presented to the
Soldiers club house, Saturday and
Sunday, by Mrs Fred Shemeley and
Mrs. Geo. w. Durand, added delight
full air OF freshness and color that was
much appreciated. 1t is hoped that
the gifts will be repeated at frequent
intervals.
A basket of peaches was donated last
week by Joseph w. Jones, and
hamper of tomatoes by Mrs. Robert
Forbes.
Large quantities of tomatoes and
other vegetables and fruits are perhaps
going to waste in the fields at the pre-
sent time. Why not send some of
them to the soldiers club house2 1t is
one OF the ways that you may be of
service.
The club house now has splendid
piano, and two string instruments, a
violin and either, both of the latter
are donations by Miss Myra BOUCHER,
Rutland avenue. The boys are MAX
ing good use of these instruments.
How about some one supplying some
of the other string instruments

Libertv Sine SUNDAY Week


Sunday afternoon. Sept. s, at four

Much interest was shown in the sings
during the month of July, but it is ex-
pected that much greater interest
will be shown during September.
Special attractions are to be arranged
to accompany the singing each Sun
day.
1t will be recalled that the public
were requested to express preference for
songs to be sung at these gatherings.
One hundred and eight requests were
sent into the War Camp Community
Service headquarters at the club house.
Forty different songs were counted
among these requests, and twenty re-
ceiying the highest number were Sc
lected to compose the new song sheet.
They are as follows, the first ten hav-
ing received ten or more requests each,
and the last ten not less than three re-
quests each:

The Mount H oily Fair

Two weeks from today and the towr
will be alive and remain so four days
for the Mount Holly Fair will be ir
operation during that time. Septem
Der 10, IL, IL and 10 are the dates fol
this event that is annually looked fol
with great interest. There will not be
any receding in the efforts to please
the many patrons of the Fair who are
SO faithful in their attendance each
year and who always go home well
satisfied with what has been provided
for their entertainment. This year
will be one of the best amusement
affairs in the history of the society.
The performances inside the ring will
be taken up to great degree by the
soldiers from Camp Dix. Those who
saw the men on the Fourth OF July
will gladly welcome them back to the
ground and those who were not able to
be present on that day will certainly
be pleased with the many stunts the
soldiers will perform.
Everybody is working, this year, to
aid the association make the fair a
success. The Business Mems Associa-
ton will take an entire building to ex-
nibit different lines of goods manufac-
tured and sold in this county. The dis
play of vegetables will be looked after
by the County Oranges and in addition
to the liberal prizes offered by this de-
partment the Business Mems
ASSOCIATION have added $S5 for dis
plays. Especial attention is to be
given to the cattle department this
year, and it is likely that the quarters
that have been used for this part of
the exhibit will have to be enlarged.
The premiums for horse contests are
larger than ever before and some fine
racing may be expected. Several OF
the classes have already been filled
and many applications have been re
fused owing to the inability to find
quarters for the great number of horses
that want to come here. One of the
features of this years fair will be
speaking from the grand stand by
prominent men, among them Champ
Clark, Speaker Of the House of Rep
res entatives, who is expected to be
here on one day, to be announced later
The railroads have made special rates
for the four days, based one and hall
of the one WaV rate. This will applv
to Philadelphia, Trenton, Hightstown
Seaside Park and Intermediate stations|
the tickets being good until the l4th.
