Edge Closes Campaign
With Fling at Wilson

Governor Edge of New JERSEY can
oldate Tor the United States Senate. in
closing the campaign in JERSEY CITY
TOOK a hnal fling last night at the at
tempt OF the Democratic national Or
ganizatlon to carry New JERSEY for
senate and Congress on the plea that
IL was necessary to win the war.
MY Democratic opponents in New
Jersey said Governor Edge, 1now as
sert that Jerseymen daring to vote for
q Republican are 'pro-German. pacif at
and malcontents.'
Il guess we all agree that New Jer-
sey has been giving the President and
his war policies every possible support.
With our 100000 boys at the front, our
New Jersey factories turning out half
of the entire output of munitions in
the whole country and our state moth
ering practically thirty-five canton
ments and military stations, + guess
no one will question our loyalty or pa
commonwealth under Republican ad-
ministration-
II believe New jersey would be loyal
to the core and firmly back of any
President in the nationa lextremity OF
war. no matter by what political party
it happened to be administered Pa
triotism is inborn in the Jerseyman,
has been since the Continental Con
gress and does not depend on the par
ticulAr brand Of his party politics"
F. E. Croasdale, the Governors cam
paign manager, predicted that Edge
would win by at least $4,000 over
George M. La Monte.

 A short drive took us to the garrison barracks. and we were shown into a long, narrow, wooden building with a row of beds down each side. At the far end were few officers who had arrived on an earlier train. and among these was delighted to find Lieuten- ant Hubbs, of the Fourth C. NJ. R. He greeted me with the news that was dead, and wanted to know what l was doing there. I assured him that I was very much alive and probably born to be hung, as they had failed to kill me on the second of June.
 We were each assigned a bed and proceeded to undress immediately, as we were very tired after our 2S-hour journey in the train.
 Shortly afterwards the officers who had walked arrived and filled up the unoccupied portion of the room, the overflow being accounted for by plac- ing the senior officers in one of the main buildings which surrounded the parade ground.
 We were actually within. the walls of German barracks containing troops undergoing training. In addi- ton to the main buildings there were rows of other structures similar to the one we were in. which formed tempor- ary hospital wards for English and French prisoners awaiting the visit

 was room in which our baggage was locked and at the other was a small
 dining room, walled off by thin par tition.
 Beyond this was a short passageway | leading to the door, on one side oi
 which was a room occupied by an old 1 nurse and used as a surgery; on the other side was what had once been a
 bathroom, but the bath was now
 chiefly used by the orderlies for wash | ing dishes and clothes.

Urge Porkiess Saturdays.

"This little pig went to Europe; this little pig stayed at home,' but both must help win the war. That is why the United States Food Administration is urging a porkless Saturday as well as a wheatless Tuesday. The prolli- bition against pork extends to all pro ducts of the hog, fresh or salt, bacon, ham, lard and sausage. The nations we are fighting beside in Europe must have pork.

NEW LONDON.

During the past year 261 building permits have been passed upon by Building Inspector Benjamin R. Lin icus, as against 275 the previous year, but the amount expended. $947, 120, is S794, ,135 less. as in 1916 the total ex- pended for building was $1,741,2B. During 1917, S4 dwelling houses were erected against 127 the year previous, and there were 63 garages built, as against Il the previous year There is a falling off of over half a million in additions and repairs in connection with mercantile building, as last years report included the Munsey building. Still, all conditions con- sidered, the showing of 1917, indicates that New London is growing with rapid strides with nearly 100 dwell ings to it's credit and nine mercantile buildings. Even with the 211 dWell- ing houses erected in the past two years, including at least 15 three deckers, tenements are in the demand and at high rentals. The building inspector states that it costs fully twice as much to build house today as it did three years ago, and that building material and labor is on the increase. As a whole, the building in New London for 1917 can be ciassad as fully up to the average. Following is a general summary of building for the year, showing the reductions from 1916, the banner year. -..
