The Military Police

Perth Amboy extends greetings to the men in khaki.
Military police made their first appearance here yesterday after
noon. According to the New Brunswick way of reasoning their COM
ing here is an indication that the military authorities are well pleased
with the cooperation of the local police and the assistance now
offered is in the nature of a reward for efficient service.
Be that as it may, we are glad the military police have arrived.
They will find Perth Amboy no better and no worse than the average
American city that is speeded up to top notch in war activities. 1t
will be interesting to see if the morale of the soldiers improves any
with the military police on duty.
These soldier cops are detailed here for the purpose of looking
after men in uniform and they will have nothing whatever to do with
civilians unless they become involved with soldiers.
Already the two police forces-the city and military-are work
ing In harmony. The assistance of the army men is valued by the
local authorities. The only regret is that such action was not taken
long ago before the major in charge at Camp Rartan launched forth
IN such bitter criticism of the Perth Amboy police without even so
much as comforting with the local authorities regarding matters of
which he complained.
t. IS now plainly evident that the major was unjust in his attack
and many of his charges were not true. In fact, the local authori-
ties have ground for complaint because of lack Of cooperation on the
part of the camp authorities in the past.
But these differences can be dropped now. The military police
are here and they are going to be given every consideration. Perth
Amboy welcomes any move that will make the city a better place for
Uncle Sam men.

Municipal Bathing Beach

The thousands of people who gather under the bluff every even
ing these hot days and enjoy the limited bathing facilities there in
dictate plainly the need of municipal bathing grounds in Perth Amboy
Last night and the night before it is estimated that fully 1900
people were in the water and on the little stretch of beach under the
bluff. Every year this number increases. 1t is time the people of
the city were given some real consideration by the municipal a.
thorities.
With the city owning a long stretch Of water front along the river
where there is a beautiful beach and where ample bathing facilities
could be afforded at little expense, it is very shortsighted, indeed,
to refuse to give the city the means of getting real enjoyment in the
water.
The first great hindranee is the sewers. The socaIed Hayes
tract at the foot Of Brighton avenue is ruined for bathing because
there Is a sewer emptying out from every street. All these sewers
should be run together into one large trunk sewer through Lewis
street and out into the bay for a thousand feet, or to deep water, so
that the shore would be free of this filth.
This should be done regardless of the bathing facilities.
But for.the sake of the thousands of people who enjoy a dip the
city owes 1t to its residents to make this provision
With the development Of the Hayes tract a wonderful play
ground equal to Midland Beach or Keansburg could be provided right
within the city limits.
This municipal bathing beach should be in operation by next
summer.

Prof. ermanism in Schools
summer.

Mayor Donnelly, of Trenton, has made charges of pro- Germanism
against DIR. William A. Wetzel, principal of the high school of that
city. The evidence produced by Mayor Donnelly is very damaging
and shows the man utterly unfit to be teaching American youth.
Other cities that have men with pro-German tendencies at the
head of their schools should follow Mayor Donnely's example We
know of some places where the high school principal has done every
thing within his power to advance the German methods and has adj
vocated the teaching of German above every other modern language
II behooves the school boards of every community to look well into
this matter and make sure of just what is going on in the teaching of
the coming generation.
But what is of particular interest in regard to the charges made
against Wetzel is that when an effort was being made a yea Or two
in the public schools, Wetzel was most bitter in his onnosnion 10
such a course. He fought the introduction of military trainipo in the
schools with every means at his disposal and he succeeded in getting
the state board to reject the proposition.
In the light of Mayor Donnelys charges, does it not seem
strange that a man who so strongly favors everything else that is
German should oppose military training which Germany carries To
an extreme never intended here.
We have all along known from the books of German phnoso-
pnefs that Germany aimed to dominate the world and that the "'next
war" would accomplish that ambition. AS Germany never expected
70 be against this great republic, the only first class nation that
would stand in Germanys way once England, France and Russia
We're overthrow.
Naturally, it would be to Germany s interest to have this nation
as weak as possible, and to keep us powerless the next generation
must not be taught anything that had a military faint. In fact If
these pro-German teachers could have another TWENTY-FIVE EAR To
carry on their nefarious work, pushing forward the German language
at every opportunity and advancing German interests among the
children we would fall into the hands of the kaiser without a fight.
10 such men as Wetzel it is all right for Germany to train her
young men TO be soldiers, but it is all wrong for America to do il. 1t
= simply another ease of playing the German game.
We trust the State Board of Education will yet wake M 10 the
real situation and give military training in the public schools the
standing 1t deserves. There is no danger of Prussian mlitarism in a
country where the people rule, but every boy ought to know how "a
defend his rights and liberties Al a moments notice, should the oc-
N~'A1 s4".

Today We Celebrate
When Britain Fought the Dutch.

When Britain Fought the Dutch.
Great Britain mastery of the
North Sea, unsuccessfully disputed by
the Kaiser's feet In the battle of the
Skaserack. was gained only after a
long struggle with the Dutch.
1t vas 252 years & today on July
20, 1866, hat England gained n of
her greatest naval victories over the
challenging Dutch. This decisive en-
gagement was fought off the mouth of
the Thames. The British feet was
commanded by Monk and Prince Ru-
pert, while the destinies of Holland
were In charge of DE Ruyter and Van
Troup. The British feet. in crescent
formation, led the attack, and the
Dutch resisted with great stubborn
ness. The latter lost tw~enty-four men
of war and 1000 seamen. and four
admirals. including Van Tromp. were
killed. With only seven ships left, De
Ruyter fought IN until all hope was
gone. and then contrfved to get away
with the battered remnant of the
feet.
This conflict was one of a long Sc
ries between the Dutch and the Eng
fish, and the latter were not always
victorious. When the first war for con-
troll of tbs North Sea began in 1852.
the English under Blake defeated Van
Tromp. but the tables were SOC TURN
ed when the Dutch SURPRISED
the English in the Downs,
eighty of their ships engaged half as
many English.
In the following year the English
bull dog returned to the fray, and
in a battle off Portsmouth gained a
great victory over the Dutch fleet, Van
Tromp. who had so lately swept the
English from the seas" was the de-
feated commander, while Blake was
the English admiral. A few months
later Van Tromp led a feet OF nearly
a hundred m~en-of-war against an
English feet OF about the same num-
Der of vessels under Blake, Monk and
Deane. Again Mars favored the Eng
lish, and six Dutch vessels were cap
tured and eleven sunk. while the re-
mainder ran for safety into Calais
Roads. The seventh and last battle of
this war resulted IN another English
victory. 1t was fought off the coast
of Holland and the Dutch lost thirty
ships.
After a period OF peace the Dutch
and English resumed hostllIties In
1865. and a great battle was fought
OF Lcwestoff. the Hollanders being
Overwhelmingly defeated. They lost
eighteen ships and 1000 men, while
the English lost only one ship and TOO
men In 1856 an indecisive engage
ment was fought. but in the follow
Ing year De Ruyter surprised the Eng
ltsh and defeated them. Between 1881
and 17S3 England and Holland again
hattled for naval supremacy and the
Dutch, defeated. lost several colonies
to the English. Sine then, until the
present war, the North Sea has been
at peace.
