ICE FAMINE IS
AVERTED HERE
Both Companies Will Receive
Steady Supply From Whole
SaIerS From Now On.

The cooler weather together with
the action of the city and county
food administrators and the two ice
companies has resulted In the fear of
an ice famine here being lessened.
Through the efforts of County Food
Administrator Mettler the Bear Greek
Ice Company, of Wilkes-Berre Pa,
has promised to ship three cars of ice
daily to the E. ]. Dorsey & Sons Ice
Company here and the Perth Annoy
Ice Company of Wilkes-Barre, "a
least one car a day by the
Ice Company. j.
Although the outlook was not
very bright last week and the first
part of his week, owing to the rail-
ure of the big concerns to ship their
normal supplies of ice to this city,
matters now appear to be adjusted TO
such an extent that worry, for the
time being at least. Is unnecessary.
The ice companies here have made
arrangements to C Ice from
other sources besides the Bear Creek
and Mountain Ice Companies, so that
1t is probable that with the cooler
weather the firms here will be given
an opportunity to stock up in case of
emergency. 1t was the sur
plus which was on hand when the
deliveries were cut off that saved the
city from q famine as the ice hip
ments received during the hot spell
were not sufficient to meet the de-
mands.
During the ice scare the price was
boosted to stores, whereas private
families had their price reduced on
ice box deliveries. The change In
price came as the result of the neces-
sity Of the companies securing ice
from distant firms with the result
that the freight rates were increased.

Used Fist on Enemy.
PARIS, Aug. 16:-Forced in close
bayonet fighting to use the butt OF
his gun across the head OF a Boche to
lay him low, Terry Murphy, the Pitts
burgh lightweight, unable to recover
his gun rapidly enough, next swung
his right fist upon a German lieuten-
ant who was ready to draw upon him
and knocked the Hun into uncon-
sciousness. 1t was Terry's first
knockout in France.
Terry's unit was brigaded with the
French in the sector about Chateau
Thierry. He was one of hundreds of
volunteers from his regiment to seek
duty in the front line.
1t was the intention at first to have
the volunteers proceed brigaded with
a French battalion. They were given
their proper formation and told to ad-
vance with the French poilus only to
a certain point, the idea being to IA
miliarize them with actual fire. Fur
Their advance was to be made by the
poilus leaving the American volunteers
behind. At the point they were to
stop, they were overcome with Gag
erness went right along with the
poilus and made a creditable showing.

Der of the Republican State Commit
tee from Middlesex county, has tend
cred his resignation, to take effect i'm
mediateIy. Mr.. Morrison gives no
reasons for his retirement as the

Mr.. Morrison has been identified

ASKS STATE
TO PRAY men
Proclamation Designates First
Sunday of Month as DAY for
Service Flag Prayer"

| By Special correspondents
, TRENTON, Aug. 16:-The nrst
| Sunday of each month in the calendar
year was today designated as the
DAY for Service Flag Prayer" by Gov
ernor Edge in a proclamation he is
sued.
The executive expressed the thought
that it is most desirable n likewise
in the interest of giving fullest sup
port to that self-sacri1cing patriot
ism which grips at the heartstrings.
that the state of New Jersey, publicly
and regularly express it's sympathies
and it's encouragement
It is suggested by Governor Edge
that at this particular Sunday service
in each month all patriotic societies,
lodges and the general public be IN
-vited to various churches of the state
for prayer for the men in military
service, and for the fathers. mothers
and others of kin, who are grieving
for them, who have been left behind
in a body, out who are marching step
by step with them in heart.
He wants the people of the state to
Join with them in duplicating for tho
well being of their loved ones, and
hold themselves in readiness not only
to express, but also to feel the deep
est n sincerest sympathy in the
case of every New Jersey home
in gloom, IL blazoned in
glory, by the greatest and noblest of
all sacrifices.
These are trying days for American
motherhood and fatherhood," declared
Governor Edge. The families OF
loved ones in the trenches are being
put to the greatest possible test of
patriotism at this time, when our
glorious victories on the battlefield
abroad are inevitably resulting in
lengthening the casualty list" he
concluded.

Lieut.. Robert f. Lee, q. s. A., grand
son of Gen. Robert e. Lee, the COM
mander In chief of the armies of the
Confederate states during the Civil
war, is fighting for the United States.
Lieutenant Lee has the mark as a
military leader set by his famous
grandfather as the goal of his efforts,
though he will be doing his utmost for
that Union which his grandfather
strove to destroy. General Lees fame
as a soldier is secure, for he is rated
by military experts as one Of the
greatest commanders the world has
known. If Lieutenant Lee inherits
his military skill there will be no ques-
ton about his chances Of being rated
a military genius.
Maj. William Fitzhugh Lee Simpson,
a granddaughter of Gen. Robert q.
Lee, recently died while on duty In
France, according to a confirmed re-
port received here. Major Simpson
was In charge Of the American school
of machine gunfire in France. No par
tlculars of his death, except that 1t
was due to appendicitis, have been re-
ceived. The Lees are in the fight.

ly after 2 o'clock his morning at the
plant. of the Matawan Brick Com
pany, situated on the north bank of
the creek, destroyed the north kiln
shed, doing damage estimated at
$500.
For a time it looked as IL six large
kiln sheds would be consumed by the
blaze. but through the lack of winds
and the excellent work of the Mata-
wan fire department, under the di-
rection of Chief Levi S. Emmons. Jr.,
even in view of the fact hat the
water pressure at the plant was bad,
the fire was confined TO the n shed.
Both the Washington Engine Com
pany and the NJ. E. Haley Hose Com
pany answered the alarm which. by
the way, was the first night alarm
blown on the new siren and both
companies did great work. Four
tanks of chemicals were thrown on
the blaze by the Haley company.
The company at the present time
is manufacturing brick for govern
ment use exclusively, and Is one of
the most completely equipped plants
In this vicinity.
The origin of the fire Is lot known
for inasmuch as no kilns were burn
ing there was no fire of any kind in

First Since War Started Wa Huge
Financial Success.
PARIS, Aug. 16:1The first salon to
be held since the war has just closed
its doors, after being open two months.
The receipts from entries reached the
equivalent of $4,000 and the sum
taken in from the sale of works ex-
hibted was $4,000. The figures are
considered very satisfactory as the
opening OF the exhibition coincided
with the commencement of the bonn
bardment of the capital by long range
guns and with the active period OF
air raids, two events which led to the
departure of many people who would
have visited the show.
The exhibition was held in the Petit
Palais in the Champs Elysees. The
Grand Palais being now a hospital,
and the two societies, the Artistes
Francois and the Beaux Arts, general
ly known as the old and new salons
combined their forces instead of hold
ing separate exhibitions.
