forty-eight hours. 1t is understood
that Mr.. Bribane not only discussed the
practical phases Of Mr.. Tumulty's en-
trance into the New Jersey fight, but,
further, that he pledged his support.
Mr. Brisbane introduced the Presi-
dents secretary to the public as po-
litical aspirant in the editorial column
of "The Washington Star" to-day. as
follows:
Joseph r. Tumulty is mentioned in
"The Washington Post" among the few
men that New Jersey would like to see
IN the place of the late Senator Hughes
Iumulty would represent the State of
New Jersey. He would endeavor to
modify New Jerseys government by
railroads and the public service cor
porations.
HE would sit in the Senate, repre-
senting New Jersey citizens that try to
make the farms and small businesses
OF the state show a profit, not repre-
scntlng only corporations that farm
and exploit the citizens of the state.
However, it is not likely that Tum-
ulty would consider giving up work
that he is doing for the President. and
therefore for all the people of the
country. even to undertake dignified
job in the Senate just now"
Mr.. Tumplty made public tonight a
letter he had written to Governor Edge
urging support Of election reform legis-
lation now pending before The New Jer-
sey Legislature and approving the sug-
gestlon that public school teachers
serve as election officials

Reynolds Pleads
Limitation Statute

Council for the four defendants in
dicted just ebefore election, charged
with conspiring to defraud the city by
the sale of Rockaway Park to the NUM-
eipalty in 1912, argued yesterday before
Justice Goff in the criminal court of the
Supreme Court for dismissal Of the
indictments on the ground that the
crimes alleged were .debarred by the
statute of limitations. John p. Stanch-
field. representing ex-senator William
H. Reynolds, made the principa! argu-
mont.
Assistant District Attorneys Black
and ,IohHstone argued that in the case
of Reynolds The defendant had been
absent from the jurisdiction of the
court for a period greater than the
mount of time that elapsed between
the expiration of the hve-year period
allowed for bringing indictments and
he actual date of the indictments
Nh. Stanchheld introduced af1idavits
from Reynolds's associates in business
eontroverting this allegation.
Justice GofF continued court until
nearly 6 o'clock and ordered that the
room be kept in darkness except for a
single light on the stenographer's
stand. Briefs will be filed on Saturday.

Page Predicts Cheap
Postwar Travel
Teachers Here and in England
Should Be in Closer Rela-
tion, Says Ambassador

LONDON, Jan. 20.-Cheap and com.
Portable travel between the United
States and England will be one of the
first steps in postwar reconstruction
III the opinion of the American Am
bassador, Walter Fl. Page. Speaking
before the teachers training depart
ment of Kings College here this week
ne declared that passage across the
Atlantic must be placed within the
means of all, especially teachers and
students.
"The largest and most important
political problem of the postwar pc
rod," said Ambassador Page. twill be
the future relationship of England and
the United States. No task in moder1,
hlstory has been of such Importance
TO the world at large. The relations
between the two countries have been
coming toward a more perfect under
standing for long period. in no small
measure owing to the lbcralizing
forces at work among both neopies IS
But the terrible catastrophe of war
has brought about in a rapid and dra
matte manner that which was surely
yet more slowly coming without it.
Ihe relations between England and
America have historic origin, followed
py historic course of development,
and there is no other way of under
standing them than through a study
OF their history. American scholars
can render no higher service at tho
present time than in bringing their
scholarship to bear upon matters which
tend toward promotion of perfect
understanding between the two coun-
tries.
"Teachers in England and America
should be brought into closer union.
Travel across the Atlantic after the
war will havo to be placed within the
means of all as a part of reconstruc-
ton. Not only the rich, but any ind;-
vIdual who SO desires, should be en-
ablcd to travel with ease and COM
fort between the United States and
England: Teachers in England will
then fall into the habit Of spending
their holidays iii America. Their fell
low teachers there will be delighted to
welcome them, TO teach them and in
turn to learn from them. An Amcri-
can is ever inquisitivc.
"Peoplc may talk till they fall dead
about unity: But all talk will prove
truitless unless we come to know one
another, and | have no hesitation in
declaring that Of all classes in the
community it is most important that
those who teach our children should
be enabled to exchange ideas"

Auto just Misses Mayor at

him whore the traffic officer was.
Hes having his lunch," the patrol
man replied.
is there no one to relieve him ?"
the Mayor inquired
"No," said the patrolman.
Men Should Be Relieved
ut seems to me- said the Mayor,
chat when man leaves his post an
other should relieve him. and I am
going to see that there dis a man reru-
latng traffic at this and other points
at all times. Most of these accidents
occur when the traffic policemen leave
thelr posts, and there should be a
man on post all the time"
Inc Mayor made the trip to Harlem
at the request of members Of thn m
Harlem Board of Commerce. who want
safety ones installed through 125th
Street. Such zones have been ur~nd
by the Board of Commerce en- the
ground OF numerous accidents. At the
conclusion OF the trip the Mayor told
the members of the board who were
IN the party that if they would place
the matter before Police Commissioner
Enright. he would communicate with
zones.

'hem tne members of the board i'm

a franchise to operate buses in Har-
lem and advocated 'crosstown line
from Fort Lee ferry through 125th

against the franchise application when
1t came before the Board of Estimate.
but that he would vote in favor of a
continuance Of the present franchise
OF Q, the company, which operates the
Fitth Avenue buses, until he had time
70 consider more fully the question of
municipal ownership.
:, Prior to the inspection tour the
Mayor called at the Offices Of the Board
OF Commerce, where he was received
by a committee headed by Edward Won
der Koch. The Mayor accepted an in

WHAT THE VICTORY OR DEFEAT
OF GERMANY MEANS TO
EVERY AMERICAN.

Contributed by PRINCE and PRIN-
CESS PIERRE TROUBETZKOY to
the National Security Leagues cam.
paign of Patriotism Through Educa-
tion).
What the German government means
by place in the sun" is the extermi-
nation of the peoples whose soil it
cOvets so that Germans may replace
those that have been exterminated.
The systematic destruction of civil
ians in Belgium, northern France, Po-
land, Serbia, and the actual enslave-
ment Of the survivors proves 1.-THE
frequently boasted German ''policy of
blood and iron" and the Hymn of
Hate" which has become a national
hymn, prOclaims it.
From the rudimental condition of
ancient barbarism, a spiritual develop
ment was possible; from the accom-
plished inhumanity of Prussianism, a
more rigid inhumanity only is possible.
A German victory would mean the
blight of what we call civilization and
the elimination of what we believe di-
vine in man. What we believe In,
what we cherish, what we are, would
be annihilated by the essence of Prus-
sianism; our world would be destroyed
by Prussic acid
