CHECKING ELOPEMENTS

They have a new law in Wisconsin,
which requires that all applicants for
marriage licenses shall post their
names and intentions in public five
days at least before the license to
marry is granted. This will put a stop
to hasty marriages and Opponents,
and while it may prove an unneces-
sary inconvenience in some cases, the
general effect will be wholesome. Mar
riage is not a Quixotic affair. 1t de-
mands care and thoughtfulness, and
there is every reason that the law
should require this 1t will likely pre-.
vent rash marriages and will certainly
stop many inroads upon the family
happiness. No loving couple should be
frightened out by a well-meaning pub
licity-Ohio State Journal.

THE KAISER'S REICHSTAG

Of the 397 members Of the reichstag
Prussia sends 236. The body can be
dissolved at any time by the bundesrat
with the consent Of the emperor This
power has been used effectively three
times to break down the resistance OF
the reichstag-in 1878, when it re
fused to pass the bill to suppress the
Socialists; in 1887, when it would not
agree to fix the size of the army for
seven years, and in 1898, when it de
clined to change the military system
In each case the new body did what
the government demanded. Since the
principal financial arrangements are
matters of standing law, if the reichs-
tag refuses to pass a new budget in
creasing allowances, or passes one re-
ducing them, the government can be
carried on on the old basis without
any action on the part of parliament

POTATOES FOR WHEAT

On the same day that Food Admin
istratOr Hoover issued his statement
telling of the thoroughly alarming
wheat shortage in America, by far the
most serious since the beginning of
the war, came also the news that
much cheaper potatoes are in pros
pect for Milwaukee and Wisconsin, ap-
proximateIy a third of last years crop
of potatoes being still unsold and
therefore available.

POINTING THE WAY

Prof. Max F. Meyer of the Missouri
state university is pointing a way for
Americans of German origin to help
win the war-a way that realizes
the ends both of America and of
democracy in Germany. That is
through the organization OF branches
of the Society Of Friends of German
Democracy, formed with the approval
Of the council Of national defense.
In urging this action, Prof Meyer
appeals to Americans Of German origin
as one Of them. He was one Of the
ffty-nine sixtieths Of the German pop
ulation, before he left that country,
that is ruled by the other siXtieth. 1t
is for this vast majority Of the Ger
man people that he speaks when he
asks Americans of German origin in
this country to help break the power
of the German military and ruling
class and give democracy to the en-
pire.-Kansas City Star.

SOLDIERS MUCH SAFER THAN
IN CIVIL WAR

Surgeon-General Gorgas says in the
March American Magazine:
General Gorgas' reply was quick
clear and confident.
There seems to be an impression
in this country that to fight in the
present war means almost sure death
to a soldier. AS matter Of fact, both
in the danger from disease and in the
deadliness of the actual fighting there
is no comparison between the war in
Europe today and our Civil War.
"Tn the Civil War our mortality
was something over five per cent for
the four years. 1t is true that the
French armies suffered almost exactly
the same death losses during the
first five months of this war. But
people must not forget that those
first five months were the most dis
astrous period, especially for the al
lies, who were unprepared in every
way.
"'By 1916 the French had reduced
their mortality to only about two per
cent for twelve months! That is rate
of only twenty per thousand. Even
in civil life rate of thirteen to fifteen
per thousand is usual Therefore it is
evident that the additional war risk
is surprisingly low.
after a three days battle in our
Civil War-such a battle as Gettys-
burg, for instance-a third of the men
engaged were left on the field. You
cannot find in the present conflict any
three days as disastrous as that"

WORTH READING
nlandS

All of US like to eat in another
household, like to hear thoughts ex-
pressed by another. Here are three
gems that are worth while:
There are some people who ride all
through the journey of life with their
backs to the horses. They are always
looking into the past. All the worth
of things is there. They are forever
talking about the good old times, and
how different things were when they
were young. There is no romance in
the world now, and no heroism. The
very Winters and Summers are moth
ing to what they used to be; in fact,
life is altogether on a small, common
place scale. Now, that is a
miserable sort Of thing; it brings a
kind of paralyzing chill over the life,
and petrifes the natural spring Of
Joy that should be ever leaping up to
meet the fresh new mercies that the
days keep bringing. HER

If man really loves truth, if he
be a disciple of progress, he will not
permit himself to state his belief in
the same terms year after year. AS
every year brings new experiences,
so should it offer fresh Interpretation

more eager to keep the mind open
than to arrive at some established
conclusion. He hopes never to have

BIC COMMUNITY
SING TOMORROW
War Camp Community Service
Fosters Movement for Event
Weekly at High School

The community sing at the High
School arranged for tomorrow Mt 3
o'clock by the War Camp Community
Service will mark an event in the
musical activities of this city. Mass
singing heretofore has been confined
to choral bodies and the general run
of people have long missed the in
spirational effect that collective song
festivals afford.
During the training periods of our
recruits. mass singing in our camps
and naval stations was soon recog-
nized as an aid to efficiency and it was
developed with that aim In view. II
was found to promote good feeling
among the boys and to impart them
the good cheer that dispeiled the
loneliness most boys felt away from
home. After while 1t became nat
ural to them to sing when they con-
gregated in groups because of the in
spiration and power of song. Singing
seems to provide an outlet for their
inherent desire for self-expression; Il
| Is likewise a relaxation as well as a
spiritual stimulation. 1t has been
aptly said that singing army is c
cheerful army and a cheerful army is
invincible. Song certainly has been n
good ally to our glorious army In
France for the scoring OF victory.
America has caught the spirit OF
mass singing and the people are emil
lating the boys in the service witt,
their community sings. which are be-
coming our institution.
Nothing lends itself better than this
means to rejoice in the victory az
tanned for democracy and Perth Am
boy can and should do rs we'll as other
cities in developing the community
mass singing for it's inspirational and
ennOb1inq Influence
The War Camp Community Service
affords the opportunity to develop this
worthy enterprise and Perth Amboy
has the rare chance of rendering pa
triotic service to the soldier boys, who
will be sent to Camp Raritan awaiting
to be mustered out, by Joining them
in these weekly song festivals.
For tomorrow's event Abner Ripp OF
New York has been secured as the So
loist and Mrs. Newland will be the
accompanist.

will make the address of the day and

TRIAL
To COME LATER
Aldermanic Committee Hears
Cops Side of Case Before
Session of Board

Previous to the committee meeting
or the Board of Aldermen last night
the police committee composed of Al
derman Reidy, chairman; Aldermen
Hilker and Wilson met at police head
quarters where they heard the side of
Traffic Officers Charles Quinn, Chris
Hanson and Nels Lybeck of OF Patrol
man Egan who have been charged by
Chief Of Police Burke with not having
been on duty on certain days during
the explosion at the Morgan plant
The aldermen decided to have a regu-
lar hearing at date to be set later on
at which time the accused policemen
Will have chance to defend them
selves. The date for this hearing has
no. been set.
1t was the original plan of the po-
lice committee to hear the cases last
night and to go into details carefully
and then to report lack to the entire
board with certain recommendations
which they expected would be fol-
lowed out as the matter had been re-
ferred-to the police committee by the
committee of the whole but owing to
the many other things to corle before
the board last night and the fact that
the men had not all received official
notice that the hearing was to take
place 1t was decided to have II at a
later date.
1t was not announced by the police
committee how they felt In the mat
ter but 1t is understood that they
think that If the men are guilty that
some severe punishment should be
meted out and if they are not guilty
they should be given a clear bill or
health.
The aldermen held one of the bust
est sessions that they have ever held
in committee meeting at City Hall last
night. 1t lasted from s o'clock until
long past midnight and many import
ant matters were discussed and will be
taken-up at the regular meeting on
Monday night.
The matter of the $4,000 bond issue
was for the Board of Water Commits
sioners was taken up and will most
likely be passed at the meeting on
Monday night.
