SERG. CAIROLLA'S MEMORY HON
ORED BY BRONZE WREATH ON
REVOLUTIONARY MONUMENT, Fl. Lee
Occasion Memorable One Athletic Club Donors the Memorial
in Honor Of Borough's First Man to Die in the War.
Speeches All Models of Feeling
Suited to the Occasion.
RAIN EMPHASIZED THOUGHT OF THE DAY

The unwilling of the bronze wreath
to the memory Of Sergeant Raymond
Joseph Cairolla of Fort Lee, who was
killed in action last fall, took place
last Sunday afternoon in the auditori-
um Cf the Fort Lee Athletic Club, of
which he was an honOred member.
Owing to the rain there was not so
large an attendance as was desired,
yet this only added to the feeling, and
the day was somehow fitting the oc-
casion, which was more or less sad,
as befitted the thought behind the trib-
ute the occasion cOmmem0rated.
Lieutenant James d. Moore of the
Home Defense Guard was in charge of
the affair and arranged all of the de-
tails. The hall was beautifully dec
grated with American and allied flags
suspended from the ceiling and serv-
ice pennants over each window bear
ing the single star in the center; also
the large service flag of the Athletic
Club was hung on the rear wall, which
bore the lone gold star at the top in
memory of the poor lad who had made
the supreme sacrifice for those he left
behind when he early left with one of
the first engineer units that got to
Franc in 1917.
President Moorhead of the Athletic
Club welcomed the audience in a neat
little speech. He was followed by an
address by Lieutenant David Arthur
Carson of Palisade, his subject being

AGED COL0RED man

George Price, one of Hackensack's
Oldest and best known colored men,
was burned to death early Sunday
morning in fire that destroyed the
upper part of Kindergan's hotel, cor
ner of Union and Lawrence street.
Smoking pipe in bed is believed to
have been the cause of the fire which
resulted in the death of the colOred
porter, sixty-two years old, whose
burned body was found in the porter's
room in the attic by Fire Chief VIII
liam Ziegler as the latter crawled into
the fame swept, smoke filled room.
Kindergan says that as he opened
the door he saw Price standing within
four feet from him, but as the back
draft, caused by the opening of the
door, forced the flames to shoot out
the old man appeared to topple over
and fall back on the floor.
Fire Chief Ziegler said that he did
not know that Price was in the room
when he entered the place, crawling on
his stomach to avoid the heavy smoke.
The fire loss was estimated at about
5000, covered by insurance.

SITUATION A VERY TRYING ONE

Bergen county, N. J., has rather
unusual official complication in that
upon complaint of Prosecutor Thomas
j. Huckin, the grand jury on Deem
Der 8 found an indictment against
Sheriff John w. Courier. The ground.
for the Indictment is an alleged GRIM
inal libel against the prosecutor in a
letter written by the sheriff that was
published in the Evening Record Of
October 8.
The sheriff reflected upon the prose-
cutor's manner of conducting his Of
flee with more particular reference to
his neglect or failure to take action
against the gamblers who were arrest
ed in raids made by the sheriff some
months ago at Carlstadt, Lyndhurst
and Lodi, as reported in the American
Issue at the time.
Apparently in Bergen county Grim
inals who are caught red handed are
safer than public officials who do the
catching, and the circumstances of the
raid on gambling dens in question will
bear reviewing for the information of
friends of civic righteousness in Ber-
gen county.
Gambling Dens Unmolested.
The law enforcement department of
the Anti-Saloon League had received
positive information through its pri-
vate channels that gang of desperate
New York gamblers had migrated to

PALISADE SUNDAY
SCHOOL s ANNUAL
XMAS EVENING

The annual Sunday school enter
tainment for the children of the Pail
SADIE Church took place last Monday
evening before good sized audience,
and everybody enjoyed it. Mrs. Sib-
ley had the evening in charge and had
everything beautifully arranged to
give the children fine time, and they
all had it. The main thing on the pro-
gram was an illustrated lecture of the
life of Jesus, lantern slides depicting
his whole career in graphic manner.
Also number of war pictures were
shown, besides few local slides Mrs.
Sibley read the lecture, accompanying
the scenes.
Following the pictures there was
visit from old Santa Claus, and the
children enjoyed this part of the even
ing more than anything else perhaps,
as they always do. Whoever it was
that represented Santa did his part
nobly and was one of the very best
and most original that ever visited the
Palisade children. 1t is said that Mr..
George e. Clark knows who it was,
but isn't telling for fear that little
George might think it was his dad.
Santa distributed handsome books as
offerings for punctuality in attendance
to many of the children, including
Jack Miller, Hilda Neinstadt, Alfred
Pennell, Charles Neinstadt, Abigail
Pennell. Anita McCord, Ernest Sibley,
Dorothy BaIdamus and Eleanor Pen
nell After this every child of the
Sunday school was given nice, box of
candy -
Rev. Guhse then made an appeal in
behalf of the fund for the aid of suf-
fering Armenian families left destitute
through the barbarity of the Turks,
and quite tidy little sum was re-
allied, somewhere near to $40. The
Sunday schools of the country were
asked to raise 1900, 900, and if all did
as well as Palisade the goal would be
passed This little touch of generosi-
ty gave fine thought to the evening
as a whole.

S0LoIST AT PALIsADE CHURCH


The congregation at Palisade Church
on last Sunday morning listened with
a great deal of pleasure to Mr.. Gas

Mr.. Gascoigne has pleasing BARI

and his singing of the Christmas solo
was enjoyed by all.

tinued on next Sunday morning, when
Mr.. Gascoigne will be heard again, and

Italy in the War;" he having agreed
the previous night to take the place Of
Rev. Feretti Of Grantwood, who was
unable to be present on account of ILL
ness. Mr.. Carson made a very inter-
esting talk on the great part Italy
had taken in the war and closed with
suggestion from the four minute
bulletin that gave some newer details
of Italian performance in the great
struggle.
A patriotic song by John Hart was
well rendered, accompanied on the pi-
ano by Miss Ethel Hill.
Rev. Marshall F. Montgomery was
the next speaker, and he certainly COW
cred himself with glory If the rapt at
tention of the audience could attest
the tribute paid him. He used the
service flag and the stars in it as his
theme, telling in beautiful manner of
the war deeds of the stars represented
in the flags of the allies. Mr.. Mont
gomery has a wonderful manner of
speaking which is difficult of explana-
ton or description. He speaks with
great fluency and rapidity, his words
flowing in streams of force and spirit.
He is a chaste and refined speaker,
and some of the passages he made in
this particular delivery were thrilling
with eloquence. His tribute to the
memory of Sergeant Cairolla was as

TOO WELL TIRED"
SOLDIER, DESERTER,
NABbED BY POLICE

The Hackensack police made what
they consider an important arrest
Tuesday morning in the person of
Henry Klough, twenty-three years old,
of the Seventeenth Machine Gun Com
pany, Base Hospital No. 5, Camp
Mills, N. Y.
Klough drove up to the Oritani Ga
rage and attempted to dispose of a
U. S. Royal cord tire, mounted on a
rim, for the sum of $50.
The management refused the offer,
but suggested he visit the Central Auto
Garage, in the meantime telephoning
the police.
Policeman Frank Kirk captured the
man as he was about to drive away
from in front of the Central garage.
His identity as a soldier was first
discovered at police headquarters,
where it was found that he was wear
ing blue suit over an army uniform.
He then admitted his identity and said
he had deserted from Camp Mills on
December 2.
In addition to the above mentioned
disguise he wore a gray cap, a long
fur OvercOat and a pair of rubbers
over his army shoes.
He carried two loaded 30 caliber re-
volvers and 4S rounds of ammunition,
two flashlights and one blackjack, a
bunch of skeleton keys and a razor.
The Ford car which he drove carried
one New York license plate, No. 1885,
516, and cardboard plate, while two
New York license plates, No. sos, 497,
were found in the body of the ma
chine. The latter numbers We're is
sued to Carroll J. Dinner of Hastings
on-Hudson, N. Y.
Klough told the police that he had
sold previously owned machine in
New York city for the one he was now
driving.
He at first refused to disclose his
identity, but two army Identification
tags were found on his person, after
which he talked more freely.
1t is thought by the police here that
Kl0ugh may have been mixed up in
some of the recent holdups and rob-
berries in and around New York, and
efforts are being made to get him to
make 0nfessiOn.-RecOrd.

Observation-Disclosures
FIRST, PATRIOT SECOND

Theodore Roosevelt publishes an
editorial in the Kansas City Star and
other newspapers, in which he says:
"Our troops in France have received
thousands of collins, but an insult
ficient number of shoes" Had any,
one with German name given pub
licity to that statement, he would have
been accused as a pro-German SYM
pathizer, frightening the parents of
the United States and lending COM
fort to the enemy. But Roosevelt
says it and gets away with it. 1t may
sound reasonable to say that we
would have been prepared if we had
started on the big program over two
years ago, but it could not have been
done. No man in the country could
have persuaded Congress to appro-
pirate the needed billions, and no man
could have persuaded the people, then,
that we were actually in danger.
/ charge that Theodore Roosevelt
is playing politics with the war, and
that he is starting now the congress

presidential campaign of 1920.--Tole-

THE PEOPLE ARE SAVING

1t has been pointed out as evidence
of how strongly the duty of saving
had been impressed upon the English
people by the war-savings campaign
in that country that in the year 1916.
although purchasing billions of dol
lars of war bonds, the small savings
bank depositors in England increased
their deposits in savings banks over
So0,000,000, this in face of the fact
that the English have been noted as
a spending rather than as a saving
people.
1t seems that similar process has
taken place in America. Two great
Liberty Loans were foated in the
year just closing, and nearly $6,000,-
100000 Of Liberty Loan Bonds were
purchased by the people. Yet in
stead of being depleted the savings
bank deposits of the country have
been increased. The president of one
of the large New York savings banks
is quoted as saying on DeDcember 20,
1917:
Zone of the most remarkable things
about the Liberty Loan campaigns is
the small effect they have had on the
savings bangs accounts, which show
an increase. This we lay to the APP
peals made to the american people to
purchase the bonds out f their own
earnings, paying for them from week
to week or from month to month. The
people appear to he doing as they
have been urged, purchasing the bonds
from current savings"

HARRINGTON DEFEATED
TWICE LAST FRIDAY

The two Pennington High School
basket ball teams, both boys and
girls, were defeated last Friday night.
The boys team was defeated on the
Flat River Y. M. C. A. court by the
strong Desloge team. The score was
top-heavy, being So to 8. This was
the first game of the season for the
local team, while Desloge has been
playing since the opening of the term,
which may account for the drubbing
the local team received.
The girls team was defeated at
Fredericktown by the Fredericktown
High School team. The game was
closely contested, the last half ending
with the tie score of to o. Extra
time was allowed for play, in which
the Fredericktown team scored one
field goal, making the final score II to
8.
Both teams will play again this
week-the boys team against Flat
River at Fiat River, and the girls
team against Bonne Terre on the To-
cal court.
