Ground Glass Is
Found in Ice Cream

William Woerle, his wife and three
children had ice cream Tor dessert last
night in their home in Mariners Har-
Dor, Staten Island. Woerle noticed
something gritty in the confcction, and
his opinion that something was wrong
was confirmed by his wife. The chill
dren did not particp pate in the expert
menT.
With sample in a saucer Mr.. Woere
FASTENED TO a drug store, where d clerk
confirmed his worst suspicious. The
trouble with the ice cream was that
there was too much ground glass in 1t,
the drug clerk said.
Woerlc had lost his appetite by this
time. and, despite the protests of his
children. turned the ice cream over to
Police Captain Joseph Cobb, together
with the drug clerks diagnosis. Cap
tain Cobb went 10 the store where the
ice cream had been bought and exam
ined all the containers there.
He decided that they contained much
ground glass. scaled the cans and sent
them 10 the laboratory of the Health
Department for analysis. He obtained
the names Of some Of the shopkcepcr's
recent customers and sent policemen
TO see how they felt. The confcctioner
told the police that a consltc Yablc
quantity. of the ice cream had been
bought by persons who chanccd into
thc store and whose names he did no,
know.
Borough authorities believe that
enemy aliens placed glass in the ico
cream in the hope Of killing several
persons. The police declared they had
found enough glass to Kill half Z dozen.
The ice cream came from a Manhattan
manufacturer.

War Will Do Us
Good, Edge Tells
Advertising Men
Urges ''Hard-Headed Busi.
ness Methods" for Gov
ernment

Governor Walter f. Edge, of New
Jersey, proprietor of the Dorland Adj
vcrtising Agency, with Offices in New
York, London, Atlantic City. and up
to the beginning of the war in Berlin
and Brussels, was elected an honorary
member Of the Representatives Club
az their monthly meeting yesterday at
the McAlpn.
The club is composed of MAGAZINE
advertising mon. The meeting was fol-
lowed by a luncheon, at which the
Governor was the principal speaker.
He declared it was becoming more
and more recognized that good govern
ment could only be obtained through
hard d-headed business methods The
Governor. in speaking Of the vchicular
tunnel project, in which the states Of
New York and New Jersey are inter-
ested. called the representatives at
tention to the fact that year ago
the two states We're engaged in a law
suit regarding the question Of lighter
age.
He said New Jersey had done its
part and that he was to confer with
Governor Whitman on Wednesday con-
corning New York's part.
"Well start building morrow"
said the Governor, "if New York will
come in with us, and Well pay half Of
the costs. even though we are but one
third as big as New York. You see,
we are extremely proud Of our state"
He further said the proposed tunnel
would relieve the lighterage situation.
Instead of all freight being lightered
to the West Side of New York and
causing great congestion. it would be
possible to send the cargoes through
to their various destinations.
The estimated cost of the proposed
tunnel is Sl2,000.000 Referring to the
war, the Governor said: 81 am inclined
to believe that our entry in this war
has its useful side, its recompcnse.
We had been drifting away from de-
mocracy IN America, and think the
war VIII be the means Of rcconsecrat-
ing ourselves to the cause. 1t is true
we are making a terrible sacrifice, but
anything that is worth while can only
be obtained at tremendous cost"
The Governor thought there was too
much overcensoring, and said he be
heved the American people could and
must be trusted, if their full powers
are to be given in helping to win the
war By taking them into their con-
tidence, the Governor declared. the au-
thorities at Washington are bound to
get more spontaneous response.
Let Washington be frank" he said
"and give the citizens of the United
States all the information they pos
sibly can give them"
New-York tribune., 1918-03-26

military force would appear TO be but
the beginning of what we must have.
would have tho Kaiser understand from
our fixed course that we are prepared
and determined to fight it out for years
If necessary and to furnish as many
men as may be required to complete
the job.
"Who can tell how long this war is
TO last If present indications are to
be relied upon it Will not end socn
Are we prepared to carry it on for
years? Not in our condtio as it
stands to-day. Let US realize, admit it
and prepare accordingly. We have been
rigging our shin and the storm has
broken. We he been training our
army and cqLipping 0; rselves after we
have engaged in war.
There are some who oppose further
military preparations in the belief that
this is to be the last war. | would say
to them that should this war end in
stalemate, or in any other way than in
victory for ourselves and our allies, it
is my belief that far beyond the day
that these hopeful souls shall have
passed from the scene the peaceloving
United States will from very necessity
be an armed camp. And if there are to
be no future wars it viii be because no
nation is left with strength nd viii
sufficient to fight Kaiserism."
