means a renewed awakening in Rus
STA against German tyranny.
The Express declared: 1T is just
a whisper OF the heavy storm clouds
that are gathering in Russia against
the Germans"
The Graphic says: ''It Is an unmis-
takeable sign that the Russians are
not prepared TO indefinitely endure
the tyranny imposed with the aid OF
the Bolsheviki."
The Chronicle believes the assassi-
nation resulted from the misery and
discomfort which are felt by the larg-
est social class in Russia.
The German press is seizing upon
the assassination as the spark which
will set ablaze again the feeling for a
renewed war against Russia The
newspapers point out that anti-Bol-
shevik elements committed the deed
and charge that the entente hand
can be seen.
They declare the Bolshevik gov
ernment is tottering. The annexa-
tionists press, led by Count Won Rev
entlow, Is demanding vengeance. de-
claring British agents are responsible.

SCHOOL TONIGHT
Board of Education Will Talk
Over Bond Issue for Hall
Avenue Building.

At the regular monthly meeting of
the Board of Education, which-will be
held in the High School tonight, IL is
probable that some action will be TAX
en- concerning the erection of the new
public school in Hall avenue. Tho
board has been waiting to secure par
ticulars from the state school authori-
ties concerning the erection of school
buildings at this time before Il took
any definite steps for the building of q
new school.
The matter of erecting a new school
came before the board for the first
time early IN May and the discussion
at that time concerned the number of
rooms which the building should con-
tain. It was the general opinion that
the building should contain at least
twenty-four rooms and Commissioner
Adolph Greenbaum was In favor OF
q thirty-two room building. The pro-
posed school will be used for both
grammar and grade students and win
be so constructed that an addition may
be made TO II when necessary TO ac-
commodate the pupils.
The board hesitated about securing
plans and arranging for the erection
OF building which would cost in the
neighborhood OF S225, 900 until IL knew
how the Capital Issues Committee
would regard the proposition. The
commissioners believe that the erec-
ton of new building is a necessity at
this time owing 10 the congestion In
the public schools OF the city at pres
ent and feel that the Capital Issues
Committee should act favorably upon
their application for permission 20
float a bond issue sufficiently large to
defray the cost Of erecting the new
school.
It has been pointed out by the COM
missioners that II will take a year or
more TO build the school and BY that
thine the need for additional room will
be more pronounced than at the pres
ent time.
Minor repairs and painting TO sew
eral OF the schools are now well under
way and the schools have been re-
ceiving their winter supply of coal dur
ing the summer months

TRANSFERS NOW
COST ONE CENT
At Midnight P. S. Co. Started
Charge as Allowed by Util-
ity Board July IL.

The Public Service Railways Com
pany at midnight started in to charge
one cent for transfers given passen-
gers on their trolley lines in Northern
New Jersey.
The Public Utilities Commission
granted the company the right to the
super charge, as a wartime measure,
in response to the plea of the company
that the emergency had made 1t neces-
sary for them to charge seven cents
for fares, with extra charges for trans
fers. Recently the company accepted
the ruling of the commission, and at
midnight started It's new system OF
charging an extra cent for a trans
fer from one line to another.
Notices telling of the new rating
were posted in cars of the company
only recently The move marks the
formal putting into effect of the right
to charge for transfers in line with the
decision of the utility board of July IL.
No charge will made for the second
transfer and the procedure formally
in vogue relative to all transfers after
the first will continue to be followed.
Passengers will pay their fares in
the first place by dropping the nickels
in the cash box of the "pay-as-you-
enters" but are requested by the COM
pany to purchase transfers from the
conductors instead of dropping the ex-
ira cent In the Dox, TOO. Ine conduc-
tors will be charged each day with tho
number of transfers taken out and will
be credited for those returned. The
returns for the transfers sold viii be
separate and distinct from the fares
as paid into the cash boxes, and trans
fer sales will not be recorded on the
registers as are the five cent fares.
The same transfer forms that are
1now in use will be used until Oct. i,
as the August and September transfers
had been printed before the commits
sion rendered its decision. Company
officials say the forms will probably
be changed after October 1.
A total of 100000 transfers are
printed each month. the number ac-
cepted as vouchers last year approx
mating 1900, 900 for the year end
ing Dec. 81. 1917. It has been rough
ly estimated that 100000 fewer
transfers will be called for under tn T.,
charge system throughout the COM
pany's sytem. leaving 5000. 600 TO be
accepted and increasing the company's
revenue for the year, approximately
$8B0,000. Many officials, however,
are inclined 20 the belief that these
estimates are entirely too high and
will not work under actual conditions.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1918-08-01

explaining the duties of those enroll
ing in the nurse reserve in their talks
made at the theatres of this city. Tne
fact is being pointed out by them that

struction in this country and will not
be sent TO France for immediate serv-
ice, which is the belief of some.

feet In order to place before the wom-
en- of this city the great need for their
help at this time.
Those enrolling have their choice
of entering one of three branches, the

School; and the third, as engaging TO

making his argument for government
ownership OF IdlAICduS ana coal
mines. he spoke IN favor OF national
prohibition and woman suffrage. OF
Increased war taxes on great wealth
and In favor OF forcing OF idle land
Into use.
There was marked appreciation OF
his remarks noticeable among the
more mature auditors and a similar
appreciation lighted up the faces OF
the ffteen youngsters when Prof.
John Tenk. with his silver cornet.
played patriotic airs prior 10 the
meeting and had the young ones on

Officers at Washington Say 1t
Will Not Be DiSpropOrtionate
With Number Involved


WASHINGTON. Aug. THE nation
must steel itself for the shock OF the
first great casualty list, according 10
officers here today.
These lists while not dispropor-
tionate to the scope OF recent hghilng'
will be far greater than recent totals
and will bring the war home 10 Amer
lea as nothing else, thsse officers pro-
nounce.
Americas casualties for the entire
war at the end of July totalled slight
ly more than $4,000 so far as an
nounced. Compared with the French
and British the American losses Will
be small.
Seven divisions and two odd regi-
ments are now engaged. Counting re-
placement units. IL is likely that more
than 100000 have been IN action.
While casualties normally run only
two and three per cent. IL is regarded
as quite possible the dead, wounded,
missing and prisoners ia conflict so
serious as the Soissons- Rheims battle
will be ten per cent or more.
