First Lieutenant Alan Mutt of the
Air Service, Ninety-fourth Aero Squad,
First Pursuit Group, was killed in
action, September 26, in the Argonne
forest.
Lieutenant Mutt was born in Edge
water Heights, Grantwood, April 5,
1895, and was boy of the most low
able traits, quiet, unobtrusive and 10y
al. He went to the Cliffside public
schools and later graduated from the
Hackensack High School. He had en-
tered Penn State University and was
preparing for an agricultural career,
having spent year in California with
this end in view. Everybody had a
good word to say of Alan Mutt at all
times, and since the sad news of his
tragic death the community has made
the family grief it's own. That he gave
his life for his country was the noblest
end that can come to any man.

CL|FFSIDE SALOONS
ALLOWED TO Open
BY BID OF HEALTH

On account of the general interest
in the recent order from the State
Board of Health regarding the closing
of all public places where people con-
gregate, such as churches, theaters,
moving picture places, saloons, etc,
The Palisadian early this week asked
Mayor John Cadien why the Cliffside
saloons We're allowed to open. He
said:
II cannot tell you a thing about 1t
That is a matter entirely in the hands
of the local Board Of Health"
The reporter then called up Secre-
tary McElwain of the local board, who
said:
Eyes; we got the order from the
State Board of Health ordering all
churches, theaters, moving picture
houses and saloons to close. We had
meeting of the local Board OF
Health, and as saloons were not sup
posed to have crowds of people in
them we concluded to exercise our
own judgment in the matter and allow
them to remain open. That is all ]
can tell you"
Nevertheless the people of the Dor.
ough, at least a great many of them
are up in the air about the situation,
and an investigation is to be held, it is
stated.

TWO PALISADE LADIES
LIVING IN SAME TOWN
But UNACQUAINTED

Two Palisade ladies were taking
luncheon at a New York hotel. They
were mother and daughter The
daughter went into the writing room
for a little while, leaving the mother
alone Presently a lady came in and
sat down near the mother and the
two incidentally talked. The last lady
said she had just received notice OF
the wounding of her son in France.
'And my husband, too, is in the
army" she added.
Where do you live?" asked the first
lady.
''Palisade, N. J. I don't know many
people, however. I do not go out a
great deal"
"Well, live in Palisade ALSO" said
the first named lady.
"Oh! Is that so? Where do you
live?"
II live on the corner of Bluff and
Cumbermede road"
II believe I do not know where that
is. I do not really know much about
the town anyway"
"Well, it is just one block west from
the Brady home. 1 guess you know
where that is"
Eyes; know that house. Then you
must live near Mr.. Logan?"
Eyes; I do. am Mrs. Logan" And
Mrs. Flack, who lives in the old Bull
house, was greatly surprised.
So was Mrs. Logan.

R0BT. A. SIBBALD,
FOR CONGRESS,
WRITES letter
October Is, 1918.

October Is, 1918.
My Dear Sir:
am taking the liberty of enclosing
herewith little leafiet bearing upon
my candidacy for Congress, which I
hope, at your leisure, you will peruse,
with view to assuming an attitude,
a. between Mr. gsamsey ans ayself.
that will be best for cur country IN
the present emergency.
have no quarrel with Mr.. Ramsey
as to his patriotism. He is, as you
are, and am, good American. But
I do say that the responsibility for
the successful prosecution of the war
is in the hands of Woodrow Wilson,
commander-in-chief of our army and
navy, just as, after many reverses, the
supreme direction of the allied mill
tary forces, by unanimous consent, is
left with General Foch, and / main
tain that, as General Foch is unham-
pered in directing the campaign that
will lead us to ultimate victory, so
should President Wilson be kept from
the embarrassment of political strife
in Congress in the fruition of his plans.
This can only be assured by giving
him the backing Of his political friends.
have no patience with the men, or
groups of men. who are striving In
Congress for party advantage, while
our boys are giving up their lives at
the front This is no time for long
winded speeches or party caucuses.
The President wants action; the coun-
try wants action-not caucus action,
not action scheming for party advan-
tage, but action which is quick and
constructive, which will shorten the
war, save life, and prevent compro-
mise peace.
During the Spanish-American War
President Mckinley demanded the
election of Republican Congress He
got it. Isn't President Wilson entitled
to sympathetic Democratic Congress
in this emergency?
That's why 1 am behind the Presi-
dent. That's why I solicit your sup
port. That's why ask you to choose
between Mr.. Ramsey and me.
Yours very truly,
ROBERT A. SIBBALD.

WERNER EBELL BURIED
WITH MILITARY HONORS
AT FAIRvIEW TUESDAY

The funeral of Werner Ebell, who
aied@Azs -Naesday Octnher Is, a week
ago, took place at Fairview Cemetery
on Tuesday last with military honors.
Numerous friends attended, for Werner
was well known in Palisade and gen.
eral favorite. The weather was clear
and sunny, though there was cool au-
tumn tang in the air that made shelter
welcome.
The members of the Palisade unit
of the State Militia Reserve, who
formed the firing squad, were under
the command of Lieut.. d. A. Carson
and Sergt. George D.. Roedeles Cor
poral George A Clark was in charge.
The sad procession was formed in
the cemetery and proceeded to the
grave, where the beautiful burial serv-
ice was read by Lieutenant Carson.
At the conclusion the squad fired
three volleys over the grave and
"taps" was blown by the bugler.
While this service was being enact
ed another funeral was taking place
within sixty yards, at which squad
of U. S. infantry fired the salute.
One feature of the surroundings
that added to the pathos of the occa-
sion was the number of newly made
mounds of earth scattered through the
grounds, showing the ravages of the
terrible disease that has spread over
our country, and that took poor Wer-
ner Ebell and his brother Winter off
within a week of each other.

To say that the borough of Fort Lee
is up in arms against the mayors part
in allowing the saloons to open recent
ly following an order from the State
Board of Health that all saloons in
New Jersey be closed during the preva-
lence of Spanish influenza is putting
it mildly. AS stated in The Palisadian
last week, the saloons Immediately
revolted at the order and are said to
have appealed to Mayor White, saying
that it was a hardship for them to
close and emphasizing the fact that
