1t has been announced that a de-
cision had been reached to withdraw
American troops from Russia this
spring. Army engineers sent to the
Russian front some time ago were be-
lieved to have gone forward to aid in
the withdrawal.
For months there has been an agita-

American troops from Russia. In this

the High Command in Paris and that
the question OF Withdrawal was then
being discussed in Paris.
The conditions on the Russian front
believed to be responsible in large part
fer the mutiny Of American troops
were assailed in a public statemen

of California, who lkened the use of
American soldiers in Russia under or

LIGHTS WERE TURNED
ON SATURDAY NIGHT
PROMOTERS TO ESTABLISH SER.
VICE &c RESIDENCE SEC
TION IN NEAR FUTURE

Newark now has electric lights.
The work of installing the machinery
and wiring the business part of town
was completed last Saturday and the
lights were turned on Saturday night.
At present, only the business part
of town is lighted, but Messrs. Hoyt
& Raney, who own and operate the
plant, state that the wires will be ex-
tended to the residence section and
the service increased as rapidly as the
business will justify.
Only night service is furnished now
but the promoters say that plans are
being worked out for furnishing both
day and night service, and they state
that this will be done in the near flu
ture
Newark is badly in need of an cleo
trio light system and it is to be hop
ed that the people of the town will
encourage The enterprise by giving it
their support. It's success or failure,
like any other enterprise, depends up
on the patronage given it by the peo-
pie. If the citizens of the town do
not patronize it it will be failure.
The men behind it are substantial
citizens and are men who are in
terested in the growth and develop
ment of our town, but they cannot
make the enterprise success with
out the patronage and co-opera. lion
of the people of Newark.
Patronage will make the business
grow and expand. If you want ell
ectric lights in Newark, get hooked
up and 'let your light shine"

Government Aviat0rs
Entertain People

The citizens of Newark were per-
mitted to witness quite an interest
ing aerial exhibition Monday morn
ing when four government machines
staged some fancy stunts over the
town.
The aviators had been to Bates
vile where an exhibition was given
Sunday afternoon. At the request of
a number of Newark citizens, the
avia5ors entertained our people for
several minutes. They expected to
land in the old field just west of town
but one of the machines came
down near enough to permit its OBJ
server 70 view the ground and he
decided it was too small. He shouted
to the waiting crowd that they could
not light, and after soaring over the
town for some time and pulling off
a number of fancy stunts the ma
chimes proceeded on their journey.
