War Summary

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service ]
1,443rd day of the war; 117th day
of the big offensive.
Champagne front: The Germans re-
sumed their offensive this morning
with drive on the fifty mile
front from Chateau-T Thierry east
ward to Main de Massises. Early
reports state that the enemy
has crossed the Marne at sew
eraI points, has captured some vii
lagos and has penetrated the French
lines to the depth of nearly three
miles.
TWO American contingents are in
Guided in the allied forces opposing
the drive; those on the ten mile front
from Vaux eastward to Jau!gonne, in
cIuding Chatsau-Thierry and those in
the region of Butte du Mesni!e four
miles west of Main de Masssiges.
Other than the declaration of staff
correspondents that the Americans
have the situation we'll in hand"
nothing definite has been received to
indicate how our forces are farng.
The reports that the Germans have
crossed the Marne at several points,
however, may indicate the Americans
have fallen back slightly along the
river, as they held more than half
the allied line on the south bank.
The German assault evidently is in
tended as continuation of their
drive on Paris, together with an at
tempt to envelop Rheims, which is in
the center of the new drive.
The intensity of the enemy attack
is shown by their bombardment of the
allied rear areas as far back as
meaux, twenty-five miles west and
south OF Chateau Thierry.
Flanders front: British consolidated
the positions they won in the Dicke'
busch lake region yesterday morning
on a front of more than mile.
Albania front: British successfully
raided Bulgarian lines near Lake
Doiran.
Germany: Under Foreign Secretary
Won Dem Bussche is reported to haH
resigned.
Russia: General AIexieff has been
appointed commander-in-chief of the
anti-BoIshevik forces and has entered

THE COMMUNITY LOSES A VALUABLE ASSET

Harvey Griffin, twenty, one of Grant
woods most popular boys, died in the
Brooklyn Navy Yard Hospital last
Saturday morning, and was buried in
the Madonna Cemetery last Monday.
He was given the honor of military
and naval funeral, the casket being
covered with an American flag. The
Home Defense had full company
out, under Lieutenant Vossburg, and
there was an escort of marines from
the Brooklyn Navy Yard, besides a
long line of friends and mourners in
carriages.
The death of young Griffin was a
great sorrow for the whole borough of
Cliffside, where the youth had grown
up. He was unusually popular. Pos
sessed of an active mind and body he
was quick to make friends and counted
them by scores He was a famous
athlete, and formed the catcher end
of the Griffin brothers battery, the
younger, "Tony," pitching. Their
prowess brought many happy victories
to the high school and Cliffside teams

a characteristic appeal in behalf of the
600 a year in licenses, besides other
taxes, and that the borough would miss
all this large sum of money if they
were driven out. He spoke of the
many fine things the saloons had done
for the borough at various times. Mr..
Bender attacked without mercy Sey-
mour Sears, telling how the latter had
failed to support him for freeholder
against Republican merely because
he was Democrat He painted Mr.
Sears all sorts of colors, then took up
Charles ]. Leeger and ripped him up
the back so numerically that poor
Mr.. Leeger scarcely recognized him
self Mr.. Leeger was present, but made
no reply.
Mr.. Bender has many idiosyncracies
as a speaker, and in moments of his
vehement periods people looked to see
him burst a blood vessel or trace to
the gig he rides.
The upshot of the evenings session
was postponing the whole matter for

option any way they can The petition
was gotten up in strict conformity.with
the law, the requisite number of sigma
lures having been obtained. Last
}sprfng the tsazne thing was g0ues
through and the petition thrown out
on technicality, as they are trying to
do again. Mr.. Bender said that no in
terests of the borough were as valua-
bic as the saloons and created much
astonishment in telling of all their good
deeds. His correction of Seymour
Sears for having said at Hackensack
that last year there were five murder
ers awaiting trial from Cliffside when
there was really one. Mr.. Sears made
the disclaimer that there were five
murderers from the Hilltop section,
which was true.
Mr.. McKeown took exception to
what Mr.. Bender said He said people
generally looked around at the most
appealing part of any municipality
they were thinking of locating in and
would get as far away from saloons
as possible. Mr.. McKeown did not be-
lieve any Grantwood snobs were trying
to run the borough, as Bender claimed.

and that was all he or any one should
ask for.

way he conducted the meeting.

the service of the United States navy.

Harvey Griffin left a proud record.
He had always depOrted himself prop
erly, led an unObtrusive life and was
admired for his talent and modesty as
well. The family lived in Riverview
avenue, Grantwood, and both brothers
have always been idolized by their
parents To say that the entire bor-
ough was deeply saddened is strictly
true. The incident of Harvey'S death
was soon on everybody's lips. 1t was
announced Sunday morning in the To-
cal and Palisade churches. also. 1t was
like a pail. The community paid its
heart out in tender tribute by flowers
and condolences to the stricken par
ents. Those who knew Harvey Griffin
intimately feel that the community
lost valuable asset in his taking
away His comrades from the navy
yard fired a volley over his grave in
token that the noble lad had rendered
the greatest sacrifice of all to God and
country.

CRANTWOOD MAN
HIT BY AUTO IN
HACKENSACK

John McGarigal, an elderly man, of
613 Anderson avenue, Grantwood, had
"a narrow escape from serious injury
last Monday afternoon when struck by
"a small army truck at the corner of
Main and Bridge streets, Hackensack
The truck, which was driven by Lewis
Sockolore of Camp Merritt, was going
south on Main street at fast rate of
speed, it is said. In attempting to
make the turn into Bridge street Sock
olore miscalculated his speed and dis
>tance and crashed into the iron trolley
pole about six feet south of the south
east corner.
McGarigal was standing back of the
pole facing the building line He was
struck by the front of the car and
knocked down, but not seriously in
jured, the force of the blow from the
machine having been spent on the
t-9lley pole.
The forward part of the auto was
wrecked and the steering rod broken.

CL|FFSIDE REVOLTS
AT POLITICS OF THE
BOROUGH AS RUN

That the citizens of Cliffside Park
do not intend to have thrust upon
them a machine-made ticket is evil
denced by the filing of petitions by
Herbert L. Post and James A. Mile
ham as candidates for the positions on
the council board which will be left
vacant by the retirement of Council
men Cohn and Mutt. These candi-
dates, being successful business men,
will bring to the board a fund of prac-
teal knowledge, which can only make
for the better administration of the
boroughs affairs. This move on the
part of the citizens is. perhapss the re-
suit of a desire to rebuke the self-ap-
pointed political leaders who hand the
people candidate, primary election
Notwithstanding, and expect them to
fall down and worship.

RELIGION A CURSE,
CHRISTIANITY IS
LIFE AND BLESSING

Rev. George S. Avery delivered an
other of his feeling sermons at the
Palisade Union Church last Sunday.
Judged by the merit of what this I'M
usual man has to say IN his pulpit ut
terances, he is one of the preachers of
the gospel we have had in this section
for years. Again he emphasized the
fact that he was preaching not for de-
nominational effect, but for the gen.
eral good of the church as represented
by the godly folk of the world that
composed it. AS mere religionists, he
limited, the world would be better of
without them. Religion is now and
has always been the curse of the
world, Christianity its life. This war,
he said, was begun not because of
Christianity or its doctrines, but for
the want of it. AS member of the
congregation said last Sunday, Mr..
Avery gets better all the time" And
that appears to be the case. His ear
nestness alone would appeal to any
nearer. He is never Illogical, never
rants, but stands there in his pulpit
and appeals to reason for supporting
the Church of Mankind and for follow
ing the tenets of the Christian faith in
our daily lives He has no use for the
mere profession of faith without it's
practice. 1t is a delight to hear so
strong a man as Mr.. Avery, and he
should have the whole town out to
hear him.

AGED WOMAN KILLED
AT MAIN ST. GATES,
HACKENSACK, mon,

Mrs. Doris Knoechel, wife of G..
Knoechel of haywood, was instantly
killed at the Main street (Hacken-
sack) crossing Of the Susquehanna
railroad by an express eastbound
freight train shortly after 5 o'clock
Monday afternoon.
Mrs. Knoechel, who was seventy
four years old and hard of hearing,
finding the gates down, according to
the police, walked around the end of
them, near the towerman's shanty, and
passed over the crossing to the east
bound track, where the On-rushing
train struck her. The body was drag
ged for distance of 80 feet.
DR.. John H. D. Finke was called and
pronounced the woman dead.
That the victim was deaf is estab-
lished by the fact that several persons
are said to have called to her and a
brakeman on the cowcatcher of the
engine screamed at her and, leaning
out, attempted to push her off the
tracks.
