WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY OF
OCCUPATION, Monday, Dec. q
Studied Indifference again character

can troops on their way to the Rhine
today. General Dittman's army re-
newed its advance at daylight and by
tonight had reached the line approx
mately twelve miles 10 the eastward.
scores of additional villages and small
towns were brought under the domi-
nation of the American army.
At American headquarters In Treves
General Brown, military governor.
and General Smith, who Is In charge
of civil affairs had begun the worl-
of administration. Local authorities
in virtually every community nave

operate in the maintenance of order.
General Pershing has issued procla-
nation calling upon the people to re-
turn to their normal pursuits and as
suring them that If the conduct OF
military affairs is not molested and II
good order is kept, they will not be in
terfered with. The proclamation gives
information of the places American
forces will occupy under the terms
of the armistice and is plain In detail
which towns will be garrisoned and
which will be merely included In oc-
cup:ed territory. This proclamation
posted on walls in different places has
been read carefully by crowds, but
there has been no sign of emotion evil
dent.
The towns through which the
troops passed today presented an ap'
pearance similar to those entered on
Sunday. Blinds were drawn in many
cases and most of the inhabitants re-
mained indoors rather than counte'

At Treves, $50 airplanes were found
today for delivery to the allies. A
small quantity of supplies were also
left there by the Germans.

WILL PURCHASE
LOCAL SCHOOL
FreehoIderS Decide Despite
Protest to Purchase Perth
Amboy's Building
By special Correspondent.

By Special Correspondent.
NEW BRUNSWICK, Dec. 6.-De-
spite a protest by a delegation of New
Brunswick citizens against buying OF
the Perth Amboy vocational school,
the Freeholders, at their meeting yes
terday passed the resolution callnB
for its purchase.
The resolution was taken from the
table at the request OF F'reeholder
Haight and after listening to the pro-
test, was adopted by the county board.
II calls upon the Freeholders to buy
the lands and buildings at Bertrand
avenue at a cost of $20.500.
Freeholder Belloff introduced res
olution that the county engineer ad-
vertise for a new bridge over the Della
ware and Raritan canal at Albany
street, according to plans and specifi-
cations. The Public Service recon-
mended that when the temporary
bridge is built for traffic, that 1t Is
built wide enough for two trolley
tracks to be laid.
Mr.. Clark, q representt tive from
Sayreville, was before the board pro-
testing against the nuisance that ex-
lists on Main street near the bridge.
County Engineer Fox stated to- the
board that the Public Service Railway
will take care of the matter by putting
in drain pipes 50 that the water will
run on the side instead of in the mid
die Of the road. This seemed to sat
isfy Mr.. Clark and the clerk was in
structed to write the Public Service
and tell them to start work as quickly
as possible.
The bridge committee was instruct
ed to go to Trenton and ask the pub
lie utilities commission to revoke their
order compelling passengers to alight
from trolleys at the Albany street
bridge and walk across 1t alongside
the car. Thre has been much critI-
cism of this order and the Freehold
ers were warm in their condemnation
even going so far as to suggest that
thy carr ytheir appeal over the pub
lie utilities head If they could get nc
redress from them.

"The present war was begun with
out the slightest reference to the
establishment of such a superna-
tional authority or to the suppress
sion Of war, but solely to prevent the
balance of military power in Europe
from being distributed to the extent
Of creating a hegemony. And as
long as the world is ruled by rival
armies such calamities will recur
1t Germany were wiped off the map
tomorrow by deluge, the jealous
les Of which she has been the centre
would only be transferred to an
other focus.
"And what deluge could not do
q victory cannot do. By all means,
as Lord Lansdowne says, win your
victory if you can. But the more
glory you get by it the more will the
glory Of future victory over the
victor dazzle the military magma
ton. And do not forget that from
the heroic, patriotic, chivalrous
point Of view only towards ask for
immunity from wars or kick their
enemy when he is down lest they
should have to fight him again.
II take it that we are not only
able and ready to go on with the war
now until the Germans have hac
their bellyful, but that if they like
to begin again ten years after, OF
two years after, we are as ready tc
take them on as ever. From the
moment that we finch from this at
titude we are beaten morally, anc
the physical consummation is only &
matter of time"
