WANT LIGHT ON
CITY AUTHORITY
Council of Defense Asks Stand
Ing of Militia Reserve Be-
fore Spending More Money

In order to determine Just what
Jurisdiction the city will have over
, the military organization that has
been formed in this city after IL is
mustered in as unit of the New
Jersey, State Militia Reserve a COM
mittee was appointed at the meeting
of the Perth Amboy Council OF De-
fense last night to investigate and
ascertain the facts in the matter.
Mayor TenBroeck heads the commit
tee and with him are w. H. Griswold
and Adolph Greenbaum.
The question arose over a requisi-
tlon presented by Major Antisell for
further equipment for the local bat
TALON amounting to over $1,000. This
is the same reQuisition that was prev
iously presented. 1t was brought out
that after the battalion Is accepted
as unit of the militia reserve II can
be called out only on order OF the
governor. excepting to act as special
police in which case the powers of
the men would be exceedingly limited.
When 1t became apparent that the
state was TO take over the unit In this
manner II was questioned whether
the city was justified in spending so
much money on the equipment,
claiming that the state should contri-
butte something.
Major Antisell was authorized to
take the battalion to Newark next
month when a review will take place
OF all the state militia reserve before
the governor. 1t was decided to pay
the expenses of the men who desired
to go and return with the battalion.
Should any member desire to come
back at another time than when the
unit returns, he will pay his own re-
turn expenses.
Figures on the uniforms were pre-
sented amounting to a little over 50
each. But as these uniforms are in
cluded In the requisition of the major

Progress was made toward the
celebration OF the city's 2o0th anni-
vsrsary OF the granting OF the char
ter at the meeting Of the executive
committee of twenty-one last night.
There was a good attendance and
much enthusiasm was shown.
After some discussion, during
which the various attractions that
are coming to the city were consider
ed, 1t was decided to have the cele-
bration on the third Tuesday In Oc-
tober. This date was finally fixed
upon as being the most suitable,
coming, as 1t does, about midway be-
tween the two holidays of Labor Day
and Thanksgiving Day. Local resi-
dents will have returned from their
vacations by that time and, most i'm
portant OF all, IL would afford ample
time to arrange a suitable event.
It was frat suggested that the cell
ebration be held on the day of the
EIks' parade, August 81, But the
fact that the Elks event IL such an
enormous affair 1t was the sentiment
OF the majority that It would tend to
eclipse the city's celebration entirely.
It was felt skhat the anniversary event
should be a feature in itself. The
fact that the city's decorations would
be taken down before the October
date was not deemed sufficient reason
for Fastening the celebration, as the
decorations will have served their
purpose and the city's celebration
will be feature In itself.
Mrs. Charles Seguine offered a plan
for parade on the day of celebra-
ton, the idea being to divide the
parade into eight units. each unit
representing twenty-five years of the
city's history. A captain would be
placed In charge OF each unit with
the privilege of arranging as many
floats az was deemed necessary to de-
pfct the twenty-five years to be rep

the essential feature of the reply
which will be made to Germany
will be that the German high
command shall send emissaries
under a white flag to learn from
Marshal Foch what are his terms

The next conversation must be
on the field of battle between
Foch and Hindenburg. It is felt
that only by procedure of this
kind can the German people be
clearly shown that the initiation
of the armistice proposals did not
come from the allies and that
Germany's commanders are sup
