MASON. Tex Nay Zach Lamar

KEEP THE HOME FIRES BURNING

We trust that the older men Of the community will recognize
their duty in connection with the Young Mems Christian Associa-
lion at this time and render every assistance possible to maintain
the high standard the association has attained.
The Y. M. c. A. has a plant here valued at about $150000. 1t
has been doing a wonderful work in this community, and its use
fulness today in time of war is even greater than in time of peace.
The coast guards and the soldiers that come to Perth Amboy as
strangers realize what the Y. NJ. c. A. means to them, the facilities
of that well equipped institution being offered for their use. If there
ever was a time when the Y. NJ c. A. should be kept up, it is right
now.
But the income of the association has been greatly curtailed
through many members going off to war. Practically all Of the
Young men that used the Y. M. c. A. most have gone. The boys, to
be sure, r still with US, and they furnish one of the most important
reasons why the Y. M. c. A. must be maintained today With older
brothers and, IN many cases, fathers gone off to joan the colors, the
interest shown IN the welfare of the boys and the fatherly care
shown y the association secretaries means much for the coming
~sissations
n rs up to>the Older men, therefore, to join the Y. NJ. C. A.
during the drive for membership that starts tonight and help keep
the association going. You parents who have received letters from
your sons who II away In camps have noticed the red triangle in
the corner of the paper on which the letter is written; you can get
- e idea of what the Y. M. c. A. stands for. But in nine eases out
of ten, the boys themselves have written home about the "Yv and
parents are thoroughly posted. Remember the coast guards and
the soldiers that come here have parents somewhere who show Just
as much appreciation for the Y. NJ. C. A. as you do.
Sign up for a membership card, then, and be a helper in keeping
the local association going, which, IN turn, Is helping to support the
Y M. C. A. work everywhere.
Ii you are already a member, sign up for a renewal, only make
it a sustaining membership this time, for expenses have increased
greatly during the past year. 1T you n not a member, Join for the
sake OF the cause it represents and because it needs your help.

TWO BIG AMERICAN DRIVES

1t was quite significant that the American forces in France
should begin their first real drive on the day when the manhood OF
America back home was registering for national service to I'LL up
the ranks and REINFORCE those already on the firing line. Tins is the
kind Of team work that counts. 1t ought to convince the last douD-
Ter that the United States is in this war to the limit OF her re-
sources and that she is going to win.
This is really the first time that the Americans have started a
drive of their own. We have read a great deal about the Americans
on different fronts, but with the exception of a division or two, these
soldiers have been different companies placed with the British and
French to gain experience.
But the Lorraine front is ours, and although we may be assisted
by the French, the main drive is by Americans. Realizing this we
know that the Americans viii give a good account of themselves.
Incidentally it will be noticed that Marshal Foch is following
his original tactics of not giving the enemy any rest. With the unity
of command, he is able to drive into the enemy first in one section
and then in another. The French, assisted by Americans began the
great offensive and drove the boches out the RheimsSoissons salient
from Chateau Thierry. When this object had been attained the
British started in on the north and fattened out the Amiens
salient, driving the enemy back to the Hindenburg line, thus taking
from them all the land that they captured at such enormous cost
last spring.
And now, just as this offensive is slowing up, the Americans, far
to the south of the line, go forward with the real dash and spirit of
fresh troops eager for the fray.
Yes, the Germans will know that America Is in the war now and
it is not going to the gaiety of life in the fatherland.
1t cannot help but be gratifying to the boys al they &c. over the
top to realize that back home the men re ralying around the coors
by the millions ready and anxious to do their full part.
1t is a great cause, men. Proud, indeed ought we TO feel at hav-
ing a part in it.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1918-09-13

The kaiser tells the krupp workers that Germany has at all
times been ready to offer peace, and that the war has gone ON only
because the enemy have rejected it.
OF course, Germany was ready to make peace the dy after the
war started if she could dictate the terms. Especially since the over
throw of Russia has Germany desired peace, but peace only at her
own terms Not being able to get such a peace she has elected to
fight on.
The Allies, too, have been ready and willing to accept peace, but
only with the assurance that the great German war machine would
be permanently dismanhed and the future peace of the world Sc
cured.
Perhaps the Germans may feed on such stuff as the kaiser hands
out, always taking care to refer especially 10 his war lords. but we
know that the rest of the world cannot be fooled
Peace will come when the kaiser is licked. and not before.

THE CITY,S TAX RATE

1t rs not surprising that the city tax rate has gone up several
points this year. When we consider the increased cost in running
the city the cause is readily explained. or course, there IN econo-
mes that could be put into effect, and if the city was run as any one
mans private business there would be a great many curtalments
But that has always been true, and just as an individuals business
cost more to run these days that it did formerly, 50 the increase is
felt by the municipality.
When e consider the matter of salaries alone, we find a big item
IN city expenses. With the policemen and fremen asking for more
money-and with good reasOn-and with employees of the street de
