LAMBERTVILLE'S
QUOTA $7,l25

Since the cessation of hostili-
ties the plans of the Seven Or
CARNATIONS cooperating in the
United War Work Campaign
have increased in expense and
Importance.
Greatly enlarged plans for the
comfort, physical, social, edu-
cational and religious program
are vitality necessary during the
long and critical period of de-
mobilization.
1t took over two years to COM
plete rehabilitation after the
Franco-Prussian war;, eighteen
months after the Turko-Russian
war, ten months after the South
African war, and thirteen
months after the Russo-Japan-
csc war. All agree that it will
require more than one year to
demobilize the American forces.
Army and Navy advisors agree
that $250,000,000 is most neces-
sary instead of $170,000,000 as
originally planned.
President Wilson has said
that a generous over subscrip-
ton is highly desirable. Ex-
Presidents Taft and Roosevelt
have said that we owe every
thing to the men at the front,
and unless we oversubscribe
the amount demanded, will have
come shamefully short in our
duty.
For these reasons and at the
urgent solicitation of the Ma
tional, State and County Direc-
tors, the representatives of the
various allied organizations
have accepted an increased al
lotment and decided to make
every possible effort to obtain a
revised quota of SLIPS forLam-
bertville and vicinity for the
United War Work Campaign
instead of $4,750 as originally
allotted. We have been prompt
ed to do this by the urgency of
the appeal and or implicit conf
dence in the loyalty and liberal
ity of the citizens of this dis
trict. The War Chest has given
$4,000 to the United War Work
fund, and approved a limited
campaign to raise the balance
for these worthy and indispen-
sable welfare organizations.
Thirty-one hundred and
Twenty-Five Dollars additional
is needed and we appeal to the
citizens of this community, con-
fident that at this Thanksgiv-
ing season they will give
promptly and literally to our
"Boys Over There" who risk
their lives for us.
Subscriptions will be received
by Rev. William H. Lynch, Ell.
Moonah, James A. Cleary, Nor
ris Mackler, C. M. Dilts, B. H.
Taylor, of this city, or Mrs.
Walter Beckner, of Stockton ;
Theodore Cullen, of Rosemont,
or by Charles D. McCracken,
campaign manager.

The Peace Parade in New Hope.

This community was not
lacking in enthusiasm when
peace was announced at $50
on Monday morning. Impromp-
tn parades were on at once and
were kept up till noon. The big
parade was announced for 100.
While it was spontaneous and
lacked preparation and finish, it
was probably the largest and
best spectacle of its kind ever
staged here. No one had time
to get ready, so there were few
organizations in their entirety,
but almost every industry and
organization was well represen-
ted.
The fire laddies made a brave
showing, the schools of the two
towns was an excited and en-
thusiastic element, the Home
Guards of Lambertville gave
the needed military touch, and
the Campfire Girls and the Boy
Scouts were worthy of special
mention, the Red Cross of Lam
be~tville made a nice showing,
and the Italian section was full
of pep and excitement. Every
body is truly glad that the hor-
rid war is over.

Christmas Boxes of Good Cheer

The First Presbyterian church
of Lambertville is sending to its
boys in the Navy and in the
Training Camps Christmas
boxes of good cheer. There are
twentyfour boxes each of the
approximate value of five dollars
In each box the first thing to
view is a handsome Christmas
card with hand painted photo
graphs of Lambertville scenes
and the legend with Merry
Christmas from your own Home
Church"
Among the good things con-
tanned in each box is a pound of
home baked fruit cake furnished
by four ladies of the congrega-
ton. The ladies of the church
have worked enthusiastically
and faithfully to make each box
a token that nothing is too good
for "our boys" in the service.

that event. The church bells

alongside the city's American
flags.
DR.. Boddis is native of
Great Britain, and while an en-
thusiastic American citizen for
many years past, he felt it to
be suitable move to donate the
emblem of the land of his birth,
and it was accepted by Mayor
Balderston in the patriotic spirit
in which it was given.

DAVID FRANCIS IN LONDON
U. S. Ambassador to Russia to Meet
President in Paris-Russ Condi-
tons Indescribable.

London, Dec. 13.-David r. Francis,
United States ambassador to Russia,
who as Dave Francis of st. Louis was
one of the biggest grain operators and
brokers in the world, seems likely to
be Russia's principal, perhaps sole rep
resentative at the peace conference at
Versailles and Paris.
Ambassador Francis arrived here
and will remain until Saturday, when
he will leave for Paris to meet Presi-
dent Wilson. The ambassador said
present conditions in Russia were in
describable, but expressed the hope
that something sound would soon be
evolved out of the chaos. Mr.. Francis
has been in many extremely unpleasant
and dangerous situations during the
last few months, sometimes almost
desperately so.

ALLIES DEMANDS
TO CL|NCH PEACE
Left Bank of Rhine to Be Held by
France.
WAR BILL is STAGGERING
Estimated That Germany VIII Be
Compelled to Pay at Least $780,
100000 to Victors-Other
Severe Penalties Considered.

Paris, Dec. 12.-France intends to
demand at the peace conference:
/. The permanent Incorporation,
without plebiscite, of Alsace and Lor-
raine, with the frontiers as they exist
ed in 1914, before the Vienna congress
trimmed down the French borders af-
ter Napoleon's fall.
2. France proposes military occupa-
ton of the left bank of the Rhine until
Germany has paid the war damages,
which is expected to take her con-
siderable period of time.
3. France will ask permanent mill
tary guarantees against Germany using
the left bank of the Rhine for concen-
tration of troops against France.
War Bill Enormous.
1t is estimated that the allied war
bill will reach 20O00000,O00
MGny Frenchmen, indeed, regard the
Rhine as the real frontier against
Germany along the rivers entire
length, but there is little public SEN
timent for permanent annexation of
the Palatinate. though it has been a
French national dream for many cen
turtles.
The creation of a neutral "buffer"
state has been discussed, but it is
understood this plan has been prac-
tically abandoned, since Belgium de-
sires the incorporation of the Wall
loon districts and possibly Luxem-
burg, with the view to forming a
continuous barrier against Germany.
To Safeguard Paris.
There is a growing sentiment
France for the idea of STIMULATING at
the peace conference that no German
soldier ever be allowed to cross the
Rhine again in uniform and arms.
Thus, it is believed, Paris would be
permanently safeguarded against Ger
man attacks.
The feeling appears to be that I'M
til Germany gives permanent proof
that she has undergone a change of
heart, military guarantees against
German aggression are absolutely nee
essary.

CHAPTER w.
Aunty Rose Unbends,

There never was a lovelier place fox

to play in than the yard about the
Stage homestead; and this Carolyn
May conf1ded to Aunty Rose one fore
noon after her arrival at The Cor.
ners.
Behind the house the yard sloped
down to a broad, calmly flowing
brook. Here the goose and duck pens
were fenced off, for Aunty Rose would
not allow the web-footed fowl to wan
der at large. as did the other poultry.
1t was difficult for Prince to learn
that none of those feathered folk were
to be molested.
There was a understanding oak
tree on a knoll overlooking the brook.
Around its trunk Uncle Joe had built
seat. Carolyn May found this q
grand place to sit and dream, while
Prince lay at her feet.
When they saw Aunty Rose In hen
sunbonnet going toward the fenced-in
garden they both jumped UP and
bounded down the slope after her. II
was Just here at the corner OF the
garden fence that Carolyn May had
her first adventure.
Prince, of course, disturbed the So
renity of the poultry. The hens went
shrieking one way, the guinea fowl
lifted up their voices in. angry chat

but the turkey cock, General Boil.

in his back office porting over the let
ter written by his brother-in-laws law

From the above recital of facts you will
plainly see, being man of business your
self, that Mr.. Cameron'S financial affairs
We're in a much worse condition when he
went away than he himself dreamed of.
Immediately looked up the Stone
bridge Building and Loan association. 1t
is even more moribund than the papers
state. The fifteen hundred dollars Mr..
Cameron put into it from time to time
might just as well have been dropped into
the sea
You know he had only his salary on
the Morning Beacon. They were rather
decent to hin. when they saw his health
breaking down, to offer him the chance of
going to the Mediterranean as correspond

Debris of World War"-stories of the
peaceful sections of Europe which have to

with him, and he drew ahead on his ex-
pense and salary account. / know that
Mrs. Cameron feared to allow him to go
bad way; but she proposed to come
back Immediately on the Dunraven if he
improved on the voyage across.
Their means really did not allow of

pany would not hear of half-fare for
her. She is a nice little girl, and my wife
would have been glad TO keep her longer,
but In the end she would have to go TO
you. as. understand, there are no other
relatives.
OF course the fiat is here, and the fur
niture. II you do not care to come on to

the best can to dispose of either or BOTH
Mr.. Cameron had paid a years rent in
advance-rather an unwise thing, I
thought-and the term has still ten
months to run. He did it so that his wife,
on her return from abroad, might have
no worry on her mind Perhaps the fiat
might be sublet, furnished, to advantage.
You might state your pleasure regarding
this.
