Exact scope San seeret.

The supreme council was created
under the urgent insistence Of Presi-
dent Wilson for aggressive action this
year, based on cO-ordnated plans and
under the direction Of single agency.
The exact scope Of the councils au-
thorlty has never been disclosed.
1t was said by both Premier Lloyd
George and Lord Curzon, however,
In explaining the status Of the British
imperial general staff and the com
mander in the field, Sir Douglas Haig
that certain British forces had been
assigned to the councils control.
Decision by the war council, Off
Gals here believe. as to the field where
these and similar forces from other
armies are to be concentrated, will
show where allied blows at the Ger
man defenseS are destined to fall. Ii
there Is to be no German drive, as the
war department predicted In its week
ly war review, the council will not
be forced to hold its reserves for de-
fensive purposes and can devote this
new agency TO all attempts to smash
weak points in the German line.
Opinion as to the sectors offering
the best opportunity for allied assaults
varies widely here. There is substan-
tial agreement, however, that the Ital-
ian front may In fact become the main
theater of the war this year. Austro-
German concentrations and possible
offensives on that front, also noted
by the weekly war summary, may rep
resent the recognition OF this view by
The German high command.

ASK VOLUNTARY
LIGHT SAVING
LightIess Night Ban Lifted, But
Merchants Are Asked to
Save Fuel

The following letters concerning
the lifting of the ban on lightless
, nights were given out today by Oliver
w. Ramsay. county fuel admins
+ traitor. Although the ban has been
lifted, the fact that Perth Amboy has
received less than one-third of it'
allotment of coal calls for a certain
amount of conservation, which the
merchants OF the city are urged to use.
To the citizens of Perth Amboy the
administrator says:
II wish to call your attention to
the following communication and
ruling regarding the voluntary con-
servation of light, particularly to the
suggestion that, from 4:30 to $3.50 z.
M each day, there should be no win
dow lights and Just enough light used
in the interior OF stores to safely con-
duet business, that there should be
no illumination on the outside of
buildings, or any Illuminating signs
whatever. From December IA to %
we hope to have unrestricted lighting.
"The same cooperation you have
given me in the past two years I am
earnestly requesting"
The communication follows:
THE United States fuel administra-
tor. DIR. II. A. Garfield. advises the
withdrawing of all restrictions on the
lightless nights orders and allowing
the lighting up as before the war;
provided there is no shortage of pow
er in this state. He gives the state
administrators the power to keep the
lightless nights where there Is a pow
er shortage.
William F. HOFFMAN,, deputy fuel
administrator for New Jersey. and
had a conference today with the off,
cials of the Public Service Electric
Company at their Office and they ad-
wise that they can now keep up the
work. If there is some voluntary con-
servation in tho operations of the
signs, illumination of outside of build
ings. and on the part of the mer-
which are from 1880 to $50 p. NJ.
each day. except Sunday.
Under the authority given me. I am
now raising the ban on lighting tenn
porarily. with a request for voluntary
conservation from 4:30 to 6:30 p. M.
each day in order to try It out. II
there Is no conservation the effort will
fail and the lightless nights order will
go into effect again for the four light
less nights per week.
After we are over our holiday sea-
son there will be no need OF conserva-
tion. as each day the Public Service
Electric Company is getting into bet
ter shape. This restriction is needed
only in the larger cities. Newark. Pat
erson. Passaic, the Oranges. Jersey
City. Bayonne, Hoboken. Elizabeth,
Perth Amboy. New Brunswick, Tren-
ton. Camden and Gloucester. In the
other districts there seems to be pow
er enough, and in these other districts
there is no further need for conser-
yation at this time.
You will please note the enclosed
copies and put this into effect as of
November 20. 1918.
Yours truly,
(Sgd.) RICHARD C. JENKINsON,
U. s. Fuel Administrator for N. J.

A meeting of the official boards and

noon at the Y. M. c. A. for che pur-
pose of forming a local federation of

Roy b. Guild, executive secretary
of the commission on interchurch re-
lations of the Federal Council of the
Churches OF Christ in America, ad-
dressed the men and spoke of the
definite task ahead of them in this
city. He said that the first essential
was the conviction that conditions
demand cooperative thought and ac-
ton. The idea is to mobilize the pro-
testing Christian forces to perform
any community tasks that are of in
terest to the local churches. Mr..
Guild discussed the best way in which
the men of this city could go about
forming a local federation to make
this better community morally by
putting a stop to certain forces that
are detriment to the city. He said
that public opinion was one of the
essential factors to deal with and also
that the facts must be put before the
people.
The report of q committee which
was appointed last week was read as
we'll as constitution for the forming
Of a law and order enforcement
league. A discussion followed and It
was finally decided to have a commit
tee composed of the pastors and a
layman of the churches in the move
ment to draw up a constitution for a
federation of churches and have II
ratified by the churches and have
delegates appointed to the federation.

See Overthrow of Ebert.


LONDON, Nov. 25-This mornings
London newspapers display promi-
nently the German advices regard
ing the agreement between the SOL
diers and workingmen's council and
the government which is regarded as
the development OF the greatest i'm
portance and tantamount to the over
throw OF the Ebert -Haase combina-
ton and the adoption. at least. theo-
retically of the existing Russian sys-
tenn.
II is admitted that the German
councils have not yet developed the
extravaganza which led to the disln-
tegration and anarchy In Russia, tho
councils not being dominated by the
Bolshevik element.
Nevertheless, the Daily Telegra N
remarked that it is rather Significant
that Germany should have adopted,
even as a stop gap. a measure which
was one of Lenine's original and most
characteristic contribution to leSisia
tive doctrines.
The Daily Mail, while pointing out
the analogy TO the developments In
Russia. suggests that the new step
is a part of "big bluff' aimed at per-
suading the allies that the old Ger
manv is defunct.
The Daily Express also thinks that
the menace of extremism Is possibly
being exaggerated for the purpose or
impressing the allies OF the difficulties
of the position.
