The fuel oil order issued by Administrator
Requa is good example Of how to do it, just
as the coal order issued by Administrator Gar
field was good example of how not to do it.
There will be no oilless days under the spirit
of the Requa order, because the oil admins
traitor is planning to serve the needs of the
country in the order of their Importance, with
out waiting until muddle of priority demands
made by others has brought on crisis. Boiled
down, the difference between the oil adminstra-
ton and the fuel administration may be ex-
planned by the fact that Oil Administrator
Requa knows something about oil.

Camp Humphreys. Sept. Is. Is.
Dear friend:
Just a few lines letting you know
that | received your welcome letter
and also a copy of the EVENING
NEWS. for which l thank you ever
so much.
The army life Is a great life and L
will give you a few points on our
daily routine. We get up at $40
o'clock in the morning and get ready
for breakfast. We have to wait in
line sometimes about one hour be-
fore we get any eats. The eats are
fine and can't be beat. After break
fast we clean up about the barracks
and then the top sergeant calls out
fail in" We then march down to
the drill field and they certainly do
drill you. The least mistake you
make they give you double time.
About 1890 o'clock we return to
the barracks and then dismissed for
about FIVE minutes. Then it's fall
in again for hat is all we hear down
here all day long. Yesterday was
inspection day and we had to be at
our best. We rad to stand at atten-
ton almost n hour.
We have boxing matches down here
and all kinds of games. The army
life makes a man out of you.
I received the first injection. II
didn't bother me but ON of the boys
tainted before they received it. Only
two more to go. ! saw ONE of the
Amboy boys down here and was
speaking with one of them. There's
plenty of music at the Y. NJ. G. A.
/ think I will close now with best
regards TO all my friends in Keasbey.
Charles Romer also sends his regards
TO all.

Sea-IeyeI Canal Across Gen.

Bu speetai correspondent.

TRENTON, Sept. Ex-Governor
Edge. who adopted the sea-level wa
terway as a part of his Legislative
: program n had enabling laws pass
ed two winters ago, when asked today
what he thought of the advocacy of a
sea-level canal across New Jersey by
Secretary Redfeid.o of the Department
of Commerce, declared that he was
delighted with Official recognition of
this project from so high a federal
source
II firmly believe that Secretary
Redheld's recommendation will serve
as an opening wedge and be the
means of our finally securing that
federal cooperation which New Jer-
sey has all along held in mind and
which Is necessary to make this great
commercial achievement a fact" de-
clared the executive. Such a canal
is surely the key to the inland sys-
tenn, as the Secretary says. and it
! would be the means not only of re-
lieving traffic congestion, hut also
add vastly to the commercial oppor-
tunity of the whole eastern seaboard
and serve as an Industrial feeder of
~incalculable value to our American
merchant marine after the war. Our
two laws of the session of 1917, Chap
ters 80 and 2S6, authorize the New
Jersey Board Of Commerce n Nav
igation to purchase or acquire by con-
demHation lands not exceeding 1000
feet in width from Raritan Bay, at
Morgan. Middlesex county. across the
state to the Delaware river. at Bor-
deDtown. Burlington county. provide
also for the donation of this land to
the federal government for construc-
ton of the canal. Obviously, all that
for an appropriation of 1000. 900
from the state contingent upon an ap-
preparation by the federal govern
ment for the dredging and construc-
ton o fthe canal. Obviously. all that
is needed is the cooperation of the
Federal Government that Secretary
Redfield endorses and urges. The Sec
retary's action is indeed gratifying"
concluded the Governor.
