OPINION OF Y. NJ. "A.

The following is a letter received
here from Capt. Richie, now in
active service in France, in which he
gives some interesting information
in regards to the work of the Y. M. c.
A. "over there"
The Y. NJ. C. A. have just finished
their stage and we now have quite
place. They have performances every
other night or so, movies, amateur
shows, etc. They also have a full line
of athletic goods which are for the use
of the men at all time. This without
charge. The result is that our ball
team is able to play right along. The
"Y" is doing wonderful work here in
France. You see they run the can
teens for the army. The prices are
slightly in excess of the sales COM
missary stores, but not nearly as high
as they were in our regimental can
teen, in fact they sell at cost. This
taken into consideration with their
other activities make it an especially
valuable institution. Don't know
what we would do without it. The
"Y" furnishes the paper and envelopes
for the letter home. This without
cost. The place to write the letter,
lounging room, recreations and amuse-
ments, without charge, in fact all the
good wholesome things a soldier needs
to take up his time out of working
hours. 1t is an institution worthy of
the greatest support. But l must not
rave about it.. DAVE.

Nearly two thousand years ago the angels ap-
peared in the heavens and carried the great mes
sage to the people of the Earth, PEACE ON

during the early hours there flashed over the wires

MEN. Let us rel oice and hope and pray that for
all time to come the War Lords will be wiped from
off of the EARTH
Owing to local health conditions it would not
be advisable to gather together in the churches of
the city and celebrate together this great day. but
let us gather at our own fireside and each family
in song and prayer rejoice and give thanks for this
great victory for humanity. Rejoice that the
world will be safe place on which to live and that

LET THE truth

Word was phoned the Times-Record
this morning that Miss Minnie j. Mel
son was elected superintendent of pub
lie instruction by majority of 1000.
This is fine endorsement of our local
candidate and is not only gratifying to
Miss Nelson herself but to all her
friends. The people of the state have
been most emphatic in their choice
and goes to show that when personal
tiles are used they are resented.

questions of league for international
arbitration and disarmament, is re-
garded as a transparent effort to anti
cipate the peace council and probably
would not be entertained for mo-
ment for that reason. The same obJec-
ton lies against discussion of the fed
eralization of Austria, the right OF
self-determination az the Russian Dor
cation of Belgium, autonomy for Al
sace-Lorraine and the return OF the
German colonies. 1t Is not doubted
that the reference to Belgium attribu-
ted to Macmillan involves payment OF
an indemnity by Joint contribution Of
all the powers. an idea already scorn-
fully rejected by the entente. and anu
tonomy for Alsace-L Lorraine in the
German scheme probably means pie
biscite, which would not return those
provinces to France, now that nearly
all the adult male French population
has been driven out.
Will Not BE Considered.
The reported intention of Germany,
Austria and Turkey to seek President
Wilson's good offices to arrange an
armistice, like the other moves said
to be impending, would be received
here as nothing more than a contlnu-
ance of the efforts Instituted by Count
Burian as far back az last January,
and repeated several times since, TO-
trap the entente into concessions by a
professed acceptance by the central
powers OF the terms of settlement laid
down by President Wilson.

With the American Army North
west of Serdun. Oct, 5 (by the Asso-
ciated Press, 7 p. m.)--Fighting with
all the ferocity of the early days OF
the war the Germans did their utmost
today to bring to a halt the American
offensive.
Early this morning and in the fore
noon the Americans pushed forward
through a blanket of fog, a yard at
time, and later in the sday when
the mists lifted they drove forward a
further distance against the German
line.
Almost no change was made on the
right, near the Meuse, but on the left
the operations of the French west of
the Argonne forest and the Americans
on the east defined more clearly the
salient in which the enemy still has a
considerable force opposing the Amer
cans, who have been steadily clearing
the forest OF machine gun nests.
German Gunfire Intense.
Again the Germans concentrated
their greatest efforts on the center IN
an effort to prevent the swinging up
ward of their line to a point which
would endanger yet further that part
of the army left in the Argonne
woods. Although the artillery action
of the Germans today was terrific-the
volume was greater than Yesterday
there was a notable reduction of aerial
effort. only occasionally did the Ger
man aviators accept the challenge OF
the Americans today and even bomb
ing expedition to I.andres- Eft Georges,
where more than two tons of bombs
were dropped, did not develop resist
ance.
Conserve Their Airplanes.
The contrast in the forenoon was
not surprising because of low visibil
ity, but conditions in theafternoon
were excellent ana full advantage was
taken of them by the French and
Americans who carried out hundred

officers investigating the explosions
which wrecked the great shell loading
plant of the r. A. Gillespie Co. AT
Morgan, estimated tonight that the
dead would number not more than
fifty and the injured $50. The prop
erty loss probably will approximate
between $15,000,000 and $20,090,000.
Late today it was believed danger
of greater devastation by the blow
ing up of stores of trinitrotoluol was
virtually over. All of that substance
left uneXploded is buried in under
ground caissons along the bank of the
Cheesequake creep. upon which the
plant is located. or is loaded on four
barges tied up at the company docks
along that stream.
Army officers reported after a rec
onnoissance by airplane that the To-
cation of the boats and storehouses
is such that they believed there was
slight probability 1t would be ex-
ploded either by fire or conclusion.
With the passing of the menace of
an explosion around the plant. the
problem of caring for the homeless
became a serious one tonight.
600 population, four miles north of
Morgan. was virtually wrecked by the
series OF blasts Scarcely a building
in it remains habitable. Many were
unroofed and the walls of others
blown in, while every pane of glass
was broken. More than 400 citizens
decided to spend the night there, how
ever.
Fifty Ambulances Arrive.
The Atlantic division of the Red
Cross established headquarters at
Perth Amboy this afternoon. Fifty
ambulances from New York and
Newark, with corps of doctors and
nurses, arrived to take charge of the
situation. Eight central depots were
opened in churches, schools and other
public buildings. Commandeered au-
tomobiles and cars driven by members
of women's motor corps from New
York and New jersey were sent out
TO pick no fleeing refugees and bring
them back to the depots for shelter.
