Soldiers TO Vote,


Secretary of State Martin on Tues
day announced his decision to send
two commissioners to Europe to ar
range for the voting of the New Jersey
men in the service abroad. A major
ity of the Jersey soldiers are in the
seventy eighth National Army Divis-
ion, Twenty-ninth Division, composed
of former National Guardsmen, and
some men are in the Eighty seventh
Division. Although the Department
of State OF New Jersey anticipates
difficulty in being able to get the votes
of the soldiers Mr.. Martin said all
possible steps would be taken to at
ford the soldiers an opportunity to
register their preference in the coming
New Jersey election.
Although it is not known whom the
Secretary will select. it is certain tha
each OF the leading political parties
will have representative. 1t was sug
gested that State Treasurer William
T. Read, of Camden, might be chosen
as the Republican representative, and
Motor Vehicle Commissioner William
L. Dill, the Democratic commissioner
The officials will take the print
ed ballots for the general election will
them and have additional ones print
ed abroad, il found necessary to adj
names. The Y. M. c. A., Knights c
Columbus and Jewish War organiza
ton may be asked to assist the com
missioners in the training camps t
lprovide facilities for the balloting. Il
this country, commissioners will ais
be named for the different cantol
ments by Secretary of State Martin, t
collect the votes of the troops. Tn
System Of county political organizf
tions sending men, as was done las
iyear, will not be permitted this year.

Watermelon Party for Soldier

-
Avery Bennett gave a watermelon
party to 20 soldiers from Camp Dix,
on Saturday night, on his farm out
Garden street, and the affair was sue
cess The boys had just arrived from
the far southwest day or two before,
where there is principally. hot sand and
cactus, and little variation in the
chow. They were in good condition to
enjoy watermelons, of which there was
an unlimited supply. The affair was
given in small grassy grove, lighted
with Japanese lanterns. There were
some real fine American girls present
to enliven the occasion, and dancing
was part of the program.
Mr.. Bennett had arranged for the
party during the early part of the
week, and had asked the war camp
service to select the boys as they came
to the soldiers club house and have
them take an autobus to the farm.
1t may not have occurred to the
people before that dancing can be done
ON lawn. Some one need only to
furnish the lawn, the girls and a VIC
trola, and the club house will Sc nd the
soldiers. Incidentally, the water
melons may be furnished, or pears,
apples or anything to eat.
The community service thanks Mr..
Bennett for giving the party. and
wants other offers of similar entertain
ments for next Saturday night. Call
the club house by telephone, and the
war camp service will furnish the,
soldiers.
A Gem razor is popular article at
the club house. I'D like to 90 to
your dinner, but need a shave. "
That's all right. Only costs nickel
to do it yourself. including brush, SOAP,
powder, towel, etc., was the reply.
A few minutes later the soldier appear
ed with clean and smiling face, and
accepted an invitation to a fine Sun
dav dinner at Herman Deacon's,
Hainesport.
The shave-yOurself-f for nickel idea
has just been added to the conveniences
for soldiers at the club house. On
Sunday morning, without any publici-
ty or previous announcement, twenty
five boys were made happy by the
sh aveidea.

and nondelivery Of mail in the military
camps is insufficieucy of address. 1t
is requested, therefore, that every one
pay especial attention to this matter
when writing to the soldiers. Place a
complete address. giving the rank,
company and regiment of the address
see. upon every piece Of mail. Then,
to insure its return in case the soldier
has been transferred, be sure to write
the sender's name and address plainly
in the'upper left hand corner. This
precaution is particularly necessary
now, when many of.the men are being
transferred to different camps or sent
abroad, and thousands of new men are
pouring into the camps.
There was quite an exciting time at
No. 107 Water street on Saturday
night. Fisher Martin, of Mount Holly
had grudge against Edward Cotton
OF Mount Holly. formerly of Maryland
because dnsky maiden had transfer
red her affections to Cotton. Whateve
the cause. there is no doubt about th'
grudge. Martin went to his home OF
the hill, got his shotgun, and proceed
ed to the Cotton domicile on Waite
street. Being informed that Cottor
had retired, Martin entered the hous
and proceeded to Cotton's bedroom
He fred one shell at Cotton, but wa
SO excited that his aim was bad, an,
he missed his mark. Cotton jumps
out of bed and slammed the bedroom
door. Martin fired another shell
through the door panel, and some c
the shot struck Cotton's forearm. Tn
latter opened the door, grabbed Fishe
before the gun could be loaded agar
and unceremoniously kicked the offer
der out OF the house. Cotton then ha
Fisher arrested. and the irate and jea
GUS lover is now in jail, awaiting a
ton Of the grand jury.

It's proper share in the great conflict.
Yukio Ozaki. Liberal leader in the
Japanese diet, today made a bitter
attack upon the Terauchi ministry.
He said
While President Wilson and Pre-
mier Lloyd George are declaring
their countrys and allies war aims.
Japan remains silent. This policy Ia
bound to cause strained relations with
the allies. Our diplomacy toward
China. has been marked by fayorittsm

He asserted that characteristic Of
what he terms the indifference OF
the Japanese governm ent toward the
big events OF the war, was it's policy
of allowing the allies to interfere at
Fladivostok when an agreement had
been reached between Japan and the
United States by which Japan
pledged herself to protect allied In
terests in the Pacific.
The Liberal leader further criti-
cised the governments policy toward
Russia. saying there should be but
one alternative. EITHER recognize OF

Answering the alta OK Foreign Min
