The people of Perth Amboy mani
tested magnificent attitude toward
the people of the British Empire
Saturday night at the mass meeting
in the high school auditorium in
commemoration of Britain Day-an
attitude of thankfulness. gratitude
and appreciation for the manifold
achievements of that country in the
past four and half years.
The Home Defense Band COM
menced the celebration by rendering
several selections and the Caledonians
and British-Americans marched into
the auditorium in q body with a
Scotch piper at their head. The meet
ing proper was then inaugurated by
singing the "Star Spangled Banner"
Mayor John F. TenBroeck told how
the day had been designated by the
government as the day on which
people of the British Isles for their
deeds in the world war. He said IL 1t
had not been for the British differ
ent tale might be told today.
Rev. Wilbert Westcott paid Amer
ica's tribute to Britain by n stirring
and enthusiastic address. He said 1t
was q tremendous task to even at
tempt to enumerate the marvellous
deeds of the British and TO try to ex-
press our 10 tHGtil. ne
remarked that Americans are appre-
ciative of what England has done and
win long be indebted to her. The
people of Great Britain have shown
remarkable demonstration OF Anglo
Saxon heroism and that there is not
a corner of the British Isles today
that has not in some manner contri-
buted it's share in bringing the war
to a glorious victory for the Allies.
Mr.. Westcott asked If the people
could conceive of 100000 of Eng
lands choicest men, the flower OF her
youth, who have paid the last full
measure OF their devotion in the war,
and II 1t was any wonder that we get
white with rage when we think of
the "Potsdam gang" who are respon-
sible for the colossal tragedy. He
wondered what Germany had gained
by the war-she is about to lose hec
colonies, her commerce has been
swept from the high seas. her kultur
has become a 'GySsord and every time
German religion is spoken OF there
will be a. laugh, and every time the
hun language is uttered there will be
n shudder
Mr. Westcott declared that one of
Britain's greatest achievements was
the retaking of the Holy Land from
the ravaging Turk, due to the able
leadership of General Allenby, and
for which the whole Christian world
was thankful.

reason for selecting a candidate from

Mr.. Scully is looked upon as a pro-
gressive Democrat He is not friend

of the reactionary in his makeup. He
has sided with the liberals in every
particular: his excellent war record
In congress and his friendship with
the administration everywhere counts
in his favor.
Edward I. Edwards, of Jersey City,
is now the most prominent candidate
talked about by the Democrats. It Is
known that Nugent and HaiG. the
Jersey City leader, are backing Ed
wards. The liberal democracy, how
ever, do not want a man of such a
type and Scully looks like a winner
to them.

LONDON, Dec. 9.-The German
population west of the Rhine becomes
more cordial toward the British as
Field Marshal Haig's troops move
eastward. according to dispatch
from the correspondent of the Daily
Mail with the British army.
"As we approach the Rhine" the
correspondent says, "our reception be-
comes more surprising. The authort-
ties in such places as Duren say un-
disguisedly that they rejoice at our
arrival. They give two reasons for
this: That they are afraid of their
own people and are afraid of starva-
tion. Many men confess that the ned
OF the war brought such relief that
the stigma OF defeat weighs little.
Children sometimes cheer our arrival.
THE revolutionary movement Is
real but not much on the surface. The
outbreaks the first few days were sup
pressed by the retreating army which
is much less Bolsheviki than the sol
diers in reserve and at the bases.
ARMED men guarding the arms in
the barracks talk without anger or
their experiences In the war against
the British and the French and an
overwh Ginning desire for peace make
of these soldiers strong instrument
of social solidity. at any rate, for the
time being.
Danger signals are received at
times and at occasions cavalry and
machine gunners are called for by the
Germans, for here, generally, l think
is exaggerated fear of Bolsheviki out
break OF Russian character. The may
ors and their staffs act with admirable
dignity but much of the population Is
obsequious and servile before our
men,"

The sweeping victory won by Con-
gressman Scully in this district at tho
election just past has attracted state
wide attention and 1t is not surpris-
ing that the congressman's name is
heard mentioned in connection with
the gubernatorial nomination next

become quite numerous OF late and
IL now appears that there is a real

Friends of Mr.. Scully declare that
they believe he would accept such a

make good run. Coming. as he

LONDON, Dec. 9-Maxmilian
Harden. editor of the Zukunst of Ber-

Express, according to a dispatch from
the German capital. that the impress
sion abroard concerning former En-
peror William is a false one
He said that he, himself. had suf-
fered too much through the former
emperor to incur charge of partial
ity. but that II was a fact that Will
liam HohenZollern had no personal
part in willing the war, but was a
mere tool in the hands of the mill
tary party, by which he was regarded
as a coward.
when the moment for declaring
war came, the militarists were afraid
he would refuse to sign the declara-
tion," haid Harden. The former en-
peror missed his vocation. He was
never happier than when posing in
the limelight. He ought to have man
aged a cabaret or taken a show on
tour. He was a great Snowman"
Declaring he knew when America
came into the war that Germany
would be beaten, Harden said.

people this and when President Will
