SOCIALIST DEPUTIES FIND MANY
FAULTS IN GERMAN GOV.
EMINENT.
OBJECTS TO PEACE TREATY
Scheidemann Also Asks That the Gov.
ernment Take the Initiative in
Stopping Air Raids on Open
Towns.

Amsterdam, July 5.-During the de-
bate in the German reichstag on the
Roumanian peace treaty, Philip
Scheidemann, the Socialist leader, said
that the Socialists objected to many
stipulations of the treaty and reserved
their attitude toward it. He asked that
the government take the initiative i'll
stopping air raids on open towns.
Revertirg to Secretary Won Kuehl-
mann's speech of June %. Herr Schei-
demann declared that 1t had created
a sensation because cit expressed in
the form of a program what has long
been known to be the governments
opinion"
Unfortunately" he continued, ''Dr.
von Kuehlmann was obliged the next
day to obliterate the impression caus-
ed. His retraction before main head
quarters opens UP unpleasant vistas."
Attacking the government for not
representing its views as a whole,
Herr Scheidemann said:
1--WE want a government which
knows, like the army leaders, how to
beat its adversary. To the present
government We are unable to vote
even budget"
George Ledebour, a social demo-
cratic leader, was called to order by
the president of the chamber for de-
claring: 1T Is the duty of the Ger
man proletariat everywhere to issue
summons for a revolution"
Friedrich Won Bayer, the imperial
vice chancellor, replied to Herr Schei-
demann:
1T is well,' he said, that the So.
cialist's rejection of the budget Is
merely demonstration, for If the
other parties acted likewise, the cause
Of the fatherland and freedom would
not be served"
Herr Scheidemann's reference to
peace, he added, did not call for a
fresh governmental declaration.
What would result after our previ-
Gus experience?" he asked. SIS
Fears Misapprehension Abroad.
"The usual result is to excite the
people and cause a conflict Of view
in this country and abroad. One sees,
indeed, something that looks like a
tiny spark and that evokes hope Of
better insight on the part of our en-.
emies, but it is in general so weak
that the disadvantages abroad aris-
ing from such declarations cannot be
outweighed by 1t.
"These disadvantages are that the
enemy government in order to main.
tain cohesion and incite their peo-
pies, give a false meaning to our sin.
cerely meant words, suggesting that
they meanJwe are unable to bring the
war to victorious end"
He assented to Herr Scheidemann's
declaration Of = the German peace

THE PRESIDENT SAILS

President Wilson sails away today on the most momentuous trip
ever undertaken by the head of any nation. While there is reason to
believe that a majority of his fellow countrymen would prefer that he
remain at home, now that he is actually going all join in wishing him
the greatest success in his mission and a safe return.
The Presiden goes to Europe as he says, to complete the work so
admirably performed by the millions of American manhood that have
been sent across the water during the past year.
'"The gallant men of our armed forces on land and sea have con
snicuously fought for the ideals which they knew to be the Ideals Oh
their country he says. 81 have sought to express those ideals; they
have accepted my statements of them as the substance oil their own
tbonoht and urposes as the associated governments have accepted
them: I owe it to them to see to ii, so far as in me lies, that no false
or mistaken representation is put upon them, and no possible enort
omitted to realize them. 1t is now my duty to play my full part IN
making good what they offered their hfe's blood to obtain. can
think of no call to service which would transcend this"
The President doubtless knows the situation in Europe better
than anyone else in this country. With all the facts In his possession
he deems it necessary that he should go in person to see to it that IN
drafting the final peace the world is actually made safe for democracy.
If this purpose is not accomplished then America s great part in the
war has been in vain.
God speed the President, then, as he sails out of New York harbor
TODAY The honors that are in store for him on the other side are
honors in which we all will share.

REMOVING THE T N T

Congressman scully states that he is informed that the great
quantities of T N 7 that have been stored at the Gillespie plant at
Morgan gradually being removed. This is good news as far as
It goes, but it is not stated where it is being moved to.
Report has it that the 7 n 7 that Is being taken away from Nor
gan is being stored at the Raritan terminal at BonhamtOwn. As far
as the safety of this vicinity is concerned we do not see that we are
any better off with the hellish stuff at Germantown than we were
when it was at Morgan excepting that it doubtless will be better
guarded.
What the people of this vicinity want, and what they have a right
to expect, is that the bulk of these explosives will be removed from
this section entirely. 1t is extremely dangerous to the whole metro
poltan area, including New York City with its six or seven millions
of people, to have the stuff anywhere around here.
What has become of Secretary of War Bakers promise to Senator
Frelinghuysen that all the explosives in this vicinity, including that
at Bonhamtown, would be removed to a great government arsenal to
,e erected somewhere on the deserts of New Mexico. That is the proper
place for it, not in the midst of the greatest population of the whole
country. The secretary's promise was merely a telephone converse
ton, but the senator was going to secure it in writing. We trust that
he has done so and. that the War Department will carry out that idea.
Now that the war is over we cannot see the necessity of having
so much explosive material about; If the government desires to keep
1T for future use it should be put away where it can do no harm II 1t
should accidentally go off.
We n glad to know that the T N T is being taken away from
Morgan. Let us hope that it is going farther away than Bonham-
town.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1918-12-04
HASTEN EXPLOSION RELIEF

But one more day remains for filing claims against the govern
ment for damages due to the explosion at Morgan. The commission
sent here to receive these claims and make investigation has allowed
ample time and any who have failed to place their statement as to
losses in the hands of this board have only themselves to blame if they
get left.
The money that the government promises to pay cannot be forth
coming until this commission reports. Then a bill must be put
through congress making the appropriation for the money needed.
Those who know how hard it is to get prompt action from congress
realize the difficulties that are still ahead in getting the money that
is so necessary to the people who have suffered so unnecessarily.
1t is two months tonight since the first explosion at Morgan oc-
cured. Perth and South Amboy have made a wonderful recovery
since that time, but there is still a great deal to be done and further
progress must wait upon the government.
The present session of congress terminates by limitation on March
A, 1919. That leaves but three months, one of them the shortest in
the year, to accomplish a vast amount of work. When we realize that
congress has been working on the new revenue law now for five OF
six months, we can get some idea what it means to do all that con-
gress is supposed to accomplish before it passes out of existence.
Because this is such a busy session of congress is all the more ra-
son why the claims of the people should be presented as early rs pos
she and once they are filed in Washington everything possible must
be done TO hasten action OF the special appropriation. bill that will be
introduced. This will be up to Congressman Sculy and Senator FIRE.
Enghuysen. We are sure both these gentlemen will do everything
within their power, but it must be remembered that in the rush and
turmoil of an extremely busy session at Washington, they are not GO
ing e. have an easy time convincing other congressman and senators
that this matter should take precedent over other things of nation
wide Importance. Some measures ire bound to go by the board. 1t
is up to the people of this community to give the congressman and
senator the utmost support so that this particular measure is not side
tracked.
1t should be impressed upon congress that there are a great many
people, especially in South Amboy, facing the winter with their homes
in deplorable condition. Many of the houses have been merely board
ed up to keep out the rain until such time as money is forthcoming to
make the repairs. There is no other place where the money can come
from excepting the government. Haste, therefore, is essential if a
large number of people here in America are not to endure the hard
ships of winter as only the people of Northern France and Belgium
have experienced.
