The citizens of Hulmeville were

was in gala attire for the event and
every house was decorated with flags

closed.
Miss Lulu Travers, who was shot in
the head by Arthur Collins, at Quak-

was operated on at the Grandview
Hospital, will recover unless there
are complications. 1t was reported
at the hospital that Miss Travers has
rallied strongly from the operation.

vitality has been remarkable. Collins
was shot after he had been hunted
down and had opened fire on the State
Policeman Cherry and Chief of Police
Harry Rhoades, of Quakertown.
After long period of intense suf-
fering, Chittick C. Kirk, well-known

had been confined to his bed awaiting

Pipersville was aroused Friday
afternoon by an alarm of fire when it
was found that the two-story build

blowing, narrowing and similar work.
For cultivating corn, however, the
tractor could not be used So Mr.
Franklin made an arrangement with
several neighbors whereby he uses
their horses when he wants to cult

ground with his tractor.

Red Cross Plans.

Hunterdon county's Red Cross is
not deadl AS with all great organiza
tions concerned with war work, to the
American Red Cross the sudden COM
ing of peace meant that certain
time had to be spent in REIMBURSEMENT
to the new conditions before going
forward again with new work.
Enough time has now passed for the
Red Cross to be able to announce the
main points of it's new program.
Chief of these is Health.
Hunterdon county is proud of the
fact that months ago this Chapter de-
cided to make Health its peace work,
the first step being the engaging of a
nurse. 1t is one thing to determine
to do a thing and another to carry it
out, so that months have gone by in
the search of a nurse with the proper
qualifications. The time has passed
when nurse cared solely for the
dangerously i'll and there now has
been developed Public Health Nurse
AS the name implies, her aim is to
promote health, rather than merely
cure existing illness. But newly
graduated nurse has not had tho nx-
perience or the special training neces-
sary, and just now the nurse who is
capable of leading in the health work
of whole county is much sought
after person. Hunterdon county is
certainly fortunate, therefore, to
have been so successful in it's search
that our Red Cross Chapter is able to
announce that on October LIST this
new period of Red Cross work will be
begun by Miss Edna Sparey.
Miss Sparey has had a most varied
experience, including special work in
dietetics, a Public Health course in
Boston, two years of work in China,
school work in Asbury Park and re-
Gently in France the running of a
canteen in connection with a 5000
bed hospital at Nantes. With head
quarters in Pennington, Miss Sparey
will be able to reach the whole coun-
ty with her car. Realizing the i'm
possibility of effective work without
some means of independent transport
tation, the Red Cross decided to sup
port its nurse with car
port +bo iJoo hos olx ~
CURED to you, where is the money for
all this? At the close of the war our
Red Cross Branches and Auxiliaries
had on hand a certain amount of
funds which they turned into one
common Chapter Fund, thus making
possible the beginning of the Health
program. Anyone will realize that
after all year is very short time
to make much more than good start
in a county as large as Hunterdon
and that the success of the work de-
mands continued effort. The very
best way to insure this is to keep the
membership as large or larger than
in war times. During the first week
in November the Red Cross will make
drive for members. The fifty cents
of the dollar retained by the Chapter
will be the main support of our Red
Cross nurse. There is no organization
in the county so universal as the Red
Cross. That fact will be a great
factor in the success of the new work
Let US see to it that by large en-
rollment we can say to Miss Sparey,
"The whole Hunterdon County Red
Cross is behind you, and the whole of
Hunterdon county is behind the Red
Cross"

To the Hon. George E. Chamberlain;

Importance 10 our country and our sol

the Senate. and, secondly, because the
people have learned from experience

Vicious rumors, as all know, follow
invariably upon the conclusion, espe-
cially the successful conclusion, Of a
great war. Our recent experience, as
you must be aware, affords no excep-
ton. Within a week after the armis-
tice was signed hateful gossip held full
sway in Paris and has since, with the
return OF troops, gained widespread
circulation in this country. Until now
we have scrupulously refrained from
so much as limiting at happenings
which bore a semblance Of reality, but
whose mere mention might inflict

Recently there were reasons for be-
lievlng that Mr.. Newton ID. Baker hsd
so thoroughly discredited himself be-
fore the country that the time was rap
idly approaching when he might be ig-
nored completely. Thas assumption
was erroneous. During the last few
days Mr.. Baker has set new record.
Consider his attitude in the cases OF
Captain HodgsOn and in that Of Arch
bald Stevenson.
Under the head OF Few American
Courts-Aiartial Like This" the Amy
and Navy Journal prints the following:
sAt court-martial convened at Camp
Las Caras, p. r., on September i6, 1918,
Captain Samuel II. Hodgson, NJ. c., u
s. A., was tried on charges that are
most unusual and with a final OUT
come Of the case that seems equally
extraordinary. One charge was that at
camp headquarters mess on August 10
1918, he made statements in the pres
ence of witnesses regarding his friend
ship for Germans and in admiration Of
the German people and favo-ing the
cause of Germany, with which this
country was at war. Among the re-
marks he was accused Of having made
were the following: "All my friends
in Mexico are Germans; IT admire the
work Of the German SPIES; u
admire the patriotism Of the German
people" At the Union Club, san Juan,
p. r., on June 4, 1t was charged Cap
tain HOdgsOn when a civilian said 10
him, Let us go to Mexico and kin
some Huns" replied: "Why not go TO
the States and kill some Americans ?"
thereafter remarking that ne had found
The Germans to be the best citizens in
Mexico and that he had many f-iends
among them. Another charge was that
on June in the presence OF a civilian
he said he believed the German policy
in Mexico to be the right one, and on
the same day said the motion picture.
'The Kaiser-The Beast OF Berlin" was
overdrawn and that the Kaiser is a
gentleman" o. words TO that effect.
The court found Captain Hodgson guilty
OF all charges except that in which he
