IAN order Of the council. It seems
that the city is bored by these ancient
reminders 1t is fer peace, and would
forget wars. And professions are cost
~. We grow thrifty. Bands and fire
works cost money, and money, my
hero, is scarce-very scarce
Again the group laughed.
After time he grasped the truth.
There was such an order. The cause
was given as the kings illness.
"Since when," demanded old Abel
bert angrily, has the sound of his
soldiers marching disturbed the king?'
1.-THE sound of wooden legs annoys
him." observed the hooking student,
lighting a cigarette. HE would hear
only pleasant sounds, such as the noise
of tax money pouring into his vaults
Mel can think of pleasanter: the
tolling of the cathedral bell, at a GER
tain time, will be music to my ears !!
Old Adelbert stood, staring ahead
At last he went out into the street
muttering. "They shame US before the
people," he said quickly.
The order of the council had indeed
been issued, a painful business over
which Mettlich and the council hao
Wondered long. For, in the state OF
things, 1t was deemed unwise to per
nit any gathering Of the populace Ell
massp. MObS lead to riots, ana rlOts
again to mobs. Five thousand armed
men, veterans, but many of them IL
their prime, we're in themselves 8
danger. And ON these days or ami
yersary 1t had been the custom OF the
university to march also, guard o.
honor. Sedition was rife among the
students.
The order was finally issued.
Old Adelbert was i'll that night. H'
tossed about In a fever. His bod!
ached, even the leg which so long age
had moldered In it's shallow grave OF
a battlefield. For these things happen
BY morning he was better, but he wal
a different man. His eyes glowed. Ill:
body twitched. He was stronger, too
for now he broke his sword across hi
knee, and flung the pieces cut Of tn
window. And with them went the las
fragment of his old loyalty to his king
Old Adelbert was now, potentially,
traitor.
On the morning after Adelbert hat
turned his back ON his king, Bobb
Thorpe rose early. SO early, indeed
that even Pepy still slept in her mar
row bed, and the milk sellers had no
started on their rounds. The earl
rising was mistake, owing to watcl

These steps are only precau-
tionary to have members pre-
pared for the call should it be
issued. IL is not taken to indicate
that the call will be issued, or
that there is definite certainty
that it will be.
1t is known that some of the
members of the legislature who
have been consulted with regard
to calling a special session, have
advised against 10 ON the grounds
there is not sufficient emergency
and that the grave pending issues
can be handled a year from now
when the Fifteenth legislature
convenes. Some of these legis-
lative members were leaders in
the regular session a year ago.
The recommendation for a
special session which is being
given the most serious consider
.atiOn are those submitted by the
state council of defense. Some of
these recommendations are of the
most serious nature. That fact is
generally realized. 1t is also ap-
lpreciated by those who have given
the question of needed legislation
serious attention, they should be
given consideration
So far as can be learned from
those i'm touch with the conven-
ing of the legislature i'm extra
session, the whole question rnsts
ON the issue of whether or not
the war emergency warrants a
war session Investigation dis
closes that political side issues
have been entirely lost sight of;
that politics is playing no part i'm
the question and that only a war
emergency is faced. I'm the event
the session is called, issues of a
political nature will not be in
lcluded, it is said by those best
posted ON the question. The
greatest care will be taken to ell
inmate even the possibility that
politics could be charged by the
most biased they claim.

duction in meritorious cases un-
der provisions of section 1l3,

Office will welcome am expression
Of opinion from any member of
local board i'm any case where it
appears that the registrant is
likely to be called to- service in
the immediate future and where
it further appears that if called a.
situation of peculiar hardship is
likely to arise which would not be
substantially remedied by regis
trants subsequent discharge from
camp in the event of favorable
action by the president upon his
lappeal. Such expression of opin-
ion may be forwarded with the
record on appeal or may be
transmitted to this Office. A sim
liar expression of opinion is in
vited from your Office wherever
you desire to give one too alsC
with reference to appeals to the
president. Advise local boards
that the recommendation re
quired under subdivision one
paragraph C, section 1t1, S. S. R
to be made by a member of th'
local board does not imply an eX-
preston of opinion that th'

MAY NOT CALL
EXTRA SESSION

There is a possibility the legis-
lature may not be called into ex-
ira session. While Governor AL
eXander is still noncommittal on
the subject, it is known that the
grave question has been raised
as to whether or not a session
extraordinary is advisable and if
an extra session would be of any
particular advantage or justify
the heavy expenditure involved.
In considering the matter of call
ing the legislature together Gov
ernor Alexander is known to be
viewing the matter from all
angles and is comforting freely
not only with leaders in the two
houses, but with men prominent
in public life in the state.
The lowest estimated cost Of a

lislative leaders that amount
lwould have to be paid and that il

that we have not accomplished all |
that we had hoped to do when we
organized one year ago; and yet
we think We can show few
things attained which are not
entirely unworthy our first ef-
forts.
Some who are not members,
and even among our membership,
there are those who have asked
What the Civic League is for
and what has it done?"
The questions we have agi-
tated on different subjects and
started others to thinking about
may not be the least of the an
swers to these questions.
"One of the first things we did
was to advocate a tax on dogs
and our city treasury was en-
riched nearly Four Hundred
$4,000 Dollars as a result.
I'VE asked for a "clean up
day" or week and alleys and
streets were relieved of much
rubbish and filth.
1--WE advocated public drinking
fountains and our city now has
two.
I'VE asked to have enforced
the curfew ordinance of our city
and in this we were only partly
successful.
I'VE have asked an increase in
the amount of water for domestic
use and we accept what was
granted us philosophically like
the man who considered half a
loaf better than no bread and
we take this occasion to thank
our city council for the aid they
have given us along these lines.
"Our ward leagues have set
apart certain days to assist in
Red Cross work and in this way
we have done more as a body
than we should have done as in
dividuals; and by personal con-
tributions we have given to the
y. NJ. C. A. fund Nineteen Dollars
and Twenty Cents (SI9.20) in
cash.
"SOme improvements have been
made and more are planned to
"Westwood Park which adds
greatly to the physical beauty of
the city.
I'VE appreciate, and acknowl-
edge with thanks, the kindness of
our local press, the Record and
Gazette, for publishing our
notices and records of our meet
lings; and also to Mr.. Cook for
the use of his Theatre as meet
ing place.
"Personally, am deeply CRATE
full to those members who have
been faithful to the interests OF
the League; and who have sc
Loyalty aided and supported me
in the discharge of my duties as
President. This loyalty anC
, earnest zeal on their part have
made pleasant and easy wha

RUMORS OF BREAK
Washington. May 25

The Mexican Charge d'Affaires at Ha-
vana has been recalled by the Carranza
Government, according to information
reaching the State Department early
today.
For some time there has been tension
between the countries over 'Cuhan
charges of German plotting, directed
from Mexico, aimed at the destruction
of the Cuban sugar crop. =
At the State Department il was ad-
mitted that information reaching there
confirmed the report that Mexico had
withdrawn her minister from Havana,
but it was stated that there was no
information available as to the rea son.
The matter was one on which the de-
partment had nothing to make public.
At the Cuban legation 1t was stated
that there had been no official word re-
ceived there as to the situation between
the two countries.
officials who have been following the
situation explained that the Carranza
government has complained that, as a
result of Cuba entering the world war
on the side of the United States. Mexi-
can interests have been greatly ham
pered and interfered with. Commercial
relations have been virtually cut off. and
recently II is understood that the Mex
lean Government served notice that the
situation was becoming intolerable
Officials of the Government and diplo-
mats generally were admittedly very
much puzzled over the situation between
Mexico and Cuba. Mexico City advices
quoting officials of the Carranza Gov
ernment as saying that inasmuch as
Cuba had entered the war. there was
no longer any benent to Mexico through
continuation or diplomatic relations.
