ENOUGH NOTE WRITING

President Wilson is still writing notes. This time it is to Austria.
But while he is preparing this one, another from Germany arrives and
doubtless that will be answered.
The country asks Why?
Why should Germany, if she wants peace, send through neutral
channels a proposal for an armistice7
Why should the Austro Hungarian government come clamor-
ing to President Wilson for peace negotiations, claiming that she
has done all that he demanded of herr
When Bulgaria wanted peace she did not resort to note writ
ing, appealing to President Wilson for conferences and an express
sion of terms. No. When Bulgaria realized that she was licked she
cent plenipotentiaries to the allied commander in the field operating
on the Macedonian front and that allied commander without letting
up in the least, told the Bulgarians just how they could have peace.
These terms they accepted without parley and Bulgaria withdrew
from the war.
Why don't Germany and Austria Hungary pursue the same
course instead of trying to negotiate with President Wilson's Mar
shall Foeh is the person they should be appealing to, not President
Wilson. President Wilson might answer all these notes in two
words: See Foeh.'
We had enough note writing before we entered the war: we
should not be compelled to go through it all over again at the finish.

$3.50 Tax Exemption for
All Men In U. S. Service

Perth Amboy has had its tax bills
out for several days and appeals to the
Middlesex County Board Of Taxation
for reduction In assessments are be-
ginning to come In.
One of the appeals is hat of VIII
lfaf Clemensen who asks hat an as
sessment- OF $1,000 on personal prop
erty IN store at 191 New Brunswick
avenue, be reduced to $500 on the
ground that the appellant Is engaged
in the military service OF the United
States, being stationed at Newport
News.
In this connection 1t is of interest to
note that the instructions If the
county board to all local assessors this
ear directed them to allow an exemp-
ton of $500 ON property of soldiers,
sailors n their widows, this exemp-
ton I oapply to either personal or real
property. Similar exemption was d.
rected In the case Of active fremen
and exempt firemen In good standing.
An exemption OF 500 in all cases OF
household furniture where same Ia in
actual use by he owner was also df-
rected.

French and BeIgianas VIII Observe

Sad and pathetic win be the observ-
ance today in the Roman Catholic
countries of All Saints Day-known
to Frenchmen and Belgians as LIE
Fete des Mortes. the Day of the Dead.
In Paris all business Is practically sus-
pended while the populace visits the
cemeteries n places flowers on the
graves OF the dead. There are. of
course In France today hundreds of
thousands of graves which will, go un-
decorated. and therefore impressive
ceremonies will be held In all the
churches IN memory OF those brave
sons of France n have laid down
their lives for their country. Widows
who mourn for husbands. parents des-
olated by grief for dead sons. chill
dren with tear stained faces who have
been left fatherless, and. perhaps most
pitfful of all. heart broken maidens
whose lovers have died g~loriously IN
battfeEaif are animated today by a
common purpose to pay floral tribute
to the vanished ones.
II II a gigantic spectacle of grief.
heart-rending grief. presented by this
Fete des Mortes. and yet even more
pitiful than these mourners In the
cemeteries are those stricken ones
who know not where to lay their ho-
raj tributes-who know only that
their loved ones lie at rest Somewhere
in France.t
And IL will not be denied that
France has a right to her grief and
also has the right to give 1t expires
sion In her own way. even though that
way may not appeal to the less senti-
mental Anglo-Saxon. France has given
TO the world the best hat she has.
and who will deny her the right to
weep. and relieve her grief, so that
she may smile again in the face of the
calamity that the Hun has brought
upon. her and upon the rest of the
world.

TRENTON. Nov. 1.-THE New
Jersey Commission for the Blind to-
day submitted it's yearly report to

In detail what provision Is made for

additional one thousand dollars for

problem of the ~reeducation of return
ed soldiers blinded In action In
France.
New Jersey IA no state institution
for the education of the blind, and it
sends its blind children from tho
northern and eastern parts of the
state to the New York Institution for
the Blind in New York City, and
those from the southern and western
parts to the Pennsylvania Institution
for the Blind at Overlook, and pays
their tuition. etc.

Famous Women


Isabella of Lorraine, oldest daugh-
ter OF Charles II of Lorraine, was
married in 1920. at the age of thir-
teen, to Reno, Duke of Anjou. When
her husband was taken prisoner by

raised an army to rescue her hus-
band. While the latter was still a
prisoner the kingdom of Sicily became
his, and he sen Isabella to reign in
his stead. In 1897 Rene joined her.
