B. M. Cannon Again Gives
Ten Dollars to Smoke Fund

County Clerk b. NJ. Cannon has
again given his check for $40 to the
"Our Boys in France Tobacco Fund"
This is only one of several checks
which have been received from Mr..
Cannon for the fund. which has given
so many boys In France pleasure to
the extent that they have sent him
twenty five return cards informing
him OF the good times they have en-
toyed from the smokes" The mes
sage on one OF these cards follows:
"Am just in receipt of your tobacco
kit and will say 1t is appreciated Very
much. Am always glad to get some
thing from old u. s. A. Will say here
it was a treat indeed to receive the
kit, also to see how pleased We all
were. 1t makes us all feel that the
friends back home are thinking of US.
even II they can't be over here to
help. Thanking you very much for
your gift
CORPORAL NJ T JONES.
These little return messages have
more than repaid Mr.. Cannon or
anyone else for the money they have
expended toward the fund Those
people who fail to obtain them viii
And themselves lacking one of the
mementoes of this great war when
the boys come home.
At the best 1t will only be few
months before all the American lads
viii be back, and a bag of Bull"
or a pack of cigarettes will make this
time Just a little shorter.

WILL LOOK AFTER
.FURLOUCH MEN
Military Police From Camp
Raritan to Aid Local Officers
in Watching Soldiers

Four members of the military po-
lice from Camp Raritan, in charge OF
corporal. arrived in this city at 7
O'Clock last night for duty here and
they will remain until further notice.
The corporal in charge called at
police headquarters, where he made
himself acquainted with Chief Burke
and Sergeant Morris, and assured he
would cooperate with the local police.
They have an automobile patrol wag-
on with them and this Is stationed at
police headquarters, where the corpor-
al in cha y 2 reports at intervals. They
carry the regulation night sticks and
are also armed with revolvers.
Since the ban has been raised at
Camp Raritan allowing soldiers 10
come to this city, some OF the men
have taken advantage of the fact that
there were no M. p. on duty in this
city and have been able to obtain
liquor In some way and have caused
considerable trouble. Another fact is
that some of the soldiers have been
staying out a great deal longer than
their passes allow and some of them
have even missed the last trolley car
and had to walk to camp.
The other night two soldiers who
wanted to get to camp, borrowed an
automobile at the Dacker House own
ed by Charles~Lewis of Sewaren. and
were arrested by thesMetuchen police
as they were passing through that
town. Later they were turned over TO
the military police. who are now in
vestigating that matter.
The military pciice are also watch
ing several men whom they suspect of
giving soldiers liquor.
They were on duty last night and
asked every stldier and many sailors
for their passes. Where they could
not be produced. they were told to re-
port at camp. The military police
took their names and the outfit they
belonged to.
