TICKETS HERE
FOR DIX CIRCUS
Local Non-Coms Endeavor to
Dispose of 600 for Big
Event at Camp.

J Three commissioned officers
from Camp Dix are now in this city
with headquarters at the Y. NJ. G. A.
for the purpose of disposing of tickets
for the circus which is to be held at
Camp Dix on Wednesday, Thursday
Friday and Saturday of this week for
the benefit of the camp athletic fund.
Every city in the state has one or moro
soldiers from Camp Dix canvassing it
today in an effort to dispose of these
tickets. The three men who have been
assigned to this city are Sergeant
Thomas Toolan. Sergeant William Ham,
sen and Corporal Thomas Smith. These
men have coo tickets which they are
trying to dispose of. The sale of all
these tickets will mean $500 added to
the athletic fund which is spent to pur-
chase athletic equipment for the boys
at Dix.
The public are urged to purchase
these tickets as means of helping out
the boys and furnishing a line of clean
/ wholesome athletics which will occu-
py their spare time. The committee of
three assigned to this city arrived on
Saturday and are having good results
ON their efforts to dispose of the tick
cts.
: The circus will be one of the largest
ever given in the state and will not con-
sist of talent made up from those at
camp entirely nine professional circus
acts having been secured for the oc-
casion. There will be more than 100
clowns and the usual horse and aero
| batic acts. Three Perth Amboy men
will participate in the circus, they be-
! ing Privates Sotak, Leitner and Cher
| iSkavitch.
| The business men are being visited
, today by the Camp Dix men in an eff
! fort to sell the tickets and the support
| of everyone who wishes to help the
| boys at camp in this manner is asked.
The first performance will be a We'd
nesday matinee leaving but short
| time in which to purchase tickets for
the big event. The tickets admit the
holder to the midway and the various
lattractions in it as well as to the main
show.

foreseen things happen tonight, the
gunners will "rest on their arms" un.
til daybreak. On "quiet" sectors like
this 1t often happens.
With darkness down, the night shift
is eating supper in their dugouts and
rigging out in sheepskin Jackets to
begin the silent night watch over the
parapets. The dugouts-corrugated
steel and sand-bag construction at in
tervals a few yards back of the first
line-are smelly and dark, but filled
with life. It's human life and insect
life, the latter making little difference
so long as steel and sandbags shed va
grant shells. Men say they can get
accustomed to insects, but the bite Of
a shell Is different.
Signs Of America.
The correspondent found the inevi-
table American sign in these dugouts
tonight. Penciled names on the wood
en- hunks suggested New York's East
side, st. Louis, Cincinnati, Milwaukee
and other purer American names sug-
gested early settlers on the prairies
Of the middle West. In fact, 1t was In
the trench just outside that a small
body Of American "Sammies" on No
vember fought desperately against
Overwhelming German odds in Amerl-
cas- first battle Of the big European
war.
The night Poilus have taken their
places a few yards apart along the
parapet. The day Poilus have filed
into the dugouts for food and rest.
A machine gun is "rat-tat-tating" its
evening tryout. All machine guns are
frequently tested at night. A fainter
"rat-tat-tat-tat" shows that the Boche
is doing 1t, too. A bright, fiery streak
roars up nearby and small white
parachute floats gently down with an
incandescent flare lighting up No
Mans Land for a hundred yards
around. Somebody saw a suspicious
move beyond the wire, an ofacer ex-
planned. The officer orders few rife
grenades fred as a warning to prowl-
ing Boches. perhaps trying to learn
something or to cut the wire. The

number of incidents in which naval
men prove their GOODNESS and heroism.
Nobody knows all the stories OF cool
ness and heroism among the naval
men, says the author. We shall not

here is one that perhaps the censors

medical officer who was aboard the
Eranconia when she was sunk acting
as transport.
"We had five or six naval officers
aboard. They were sitting in tbs
smoking room-remember the smoking
lounge In the old Franconia? It was
very long, as long as this dining room
and twice as broad. They had Just
ordered whisky sodns. Suddenly there
was an explosion and the steel floor
of the smoking room just buckled up
and burst apart In the middle OF the
ship. One Of those officers called the
steward and said:
"T ask you to witness, steward, that
we have paid for these whisky sodas
and have not had time to drink them.'

on their lifebelts, came back again,

ELECTRIC SIGN
|SST|LL TABOO
Fuel Administration Warns of
Punishment to Follow Vio-
IationS Here.

Fuel Administrator Oliver w.
Ramsay has had called to his atten-
ton the fact that some of the mer-
chants of the city have been burning
their electric signs for the past few
nights. The administrator only last
week following meeting at the Hotel
Klein at New Brunswick, of all the
fuel administrators of Middlesex
county, informed the merchants that
electric u gns were still under the ban
and the burning of the signs has
been against the orders and the law
as laid down by the Middlesex county
fuel administrators at their meeting
The order governing the burning
of electric signs as passed by the ad-
ministrators at the meeting was: TT
| is the sense of the meeting that the
order for lightless nights be contin-
ued in Middlesex until the coal situ-
alton clears up and all the people
can work. AS heretofore, no excess
sive window lighting will be permit
ted, no outside lights, no illuminated
electric signs, no store window lights
after store is closed and no store
window lights after 10 o'clock, even
if the store is still open for business,
will be permitted. No exceptions are
to be made and this rule holds for
Middlesex no matter what the rest
of the state is doing"
Fuel Administrator Ramsay says
that the law or order must be obeyed
by the merchants and shopkeepers of
this city, and in no case would they
be allowed to light the electric signs
in front OF their stores. If merchants
do light the signs, persisting in dis
obeying the order, the administrators
said that the connections supplying
the store with electric power would
hn Lon 1, - L
electric power as was done in several
instances last winter when merchants
and shopkeepers failed to carry out
the orders of the administrator.
