"old armory." A discrepancy In the
figures was claimed. The matter was
laid over for investigation and
port at the next meeting. w.
Councilman Stldfole and others re-
ported on the question of the widen
ing of Front street and the matter
was laid over, owing to the fact
that a special committee would later
be appointed by the Mayor, who, to-
gether, with several Of the property
owners interested in the matter, would
attend the next meeting of the State
Highway Commission in Trenton
which will be held early in January.
Clerk Terry read a petition signed
by a majority of the merchants of
the borough, asking that an appro-
priatlon be made in the budget for the
ensuing year for the installation OF
additional lights in the rear of the
buildings which constitute the COM
mercial district in the borough. The
matter was referred to the light COM
mittee with instructions for them to
investigate the matter in conjunction
with an official of the Monmouth
Lighting Co. and to report thereon al
the next meeting.

BOLD DAYLIGHT ROBBERY
IN SOUTH AMBOY STORE
" Special correspondenr.

SOUTH AMBOY, Dec. 10-Yester.
day at moor time one of the most dar.
ing daylight robberies ever attempt
ed in South .Amboy occurred. The
business place of Nick Tolls was en-
tered and a large sum of money taken
from the cash drawer.
Every day shortly after 12 O'Clock
Nick locks up the store and goes to
lunch. Yesterday as usual he closed
his business about IL o'clock. When
he returned he found the interior of
the store badly messed up" and all
his cash taken. The matter was re-
ported to the police and upon inves-
tigation 1t was found the entry had
been made through the rear win
dow. Tho window had been broken by
a stone and the latch removed. 1t is
the theory of Chief of Police Nc
Donnell that the stone was thrown
While one of the trains was passing
past the rear of the store as the next
door neighbor did not hear a sound.
A mark on the side of the building
indicates that more than one stone
was thrown.
All evidence leads the authorities
to believe that the person who en-
tered the store was one Who was ia
miliar with conditions and knew the
daily habits of Tolls. Fifty dollars
In cash was taken and while no mer-
chandlse was taken the stock was in
a heap of disorder which will result
In a loss to the owner.

EXODUS Of
FOREIGNERS NOW
Thousands Of Men Leaving This
Country - Industries Hit

Reports coming from emigration
officials at the various ports along
the Atlantic coast show hat thou
sands of foreign born men are re-
turning to their homes across the
ocean from this vicinity and other
places. On every steamer which
leaves for a European port there is
a passenger list as large as the pro-
portions OF that ship will allow. Long
waiting lists are to be found at the
Offices Of the steamship companies
containing the names Of those who
have made applications for passage
on the ships headed for the other
side.
With each sailing America Is los
ing thousands of her foreign born
populace who have waited until tho
cessation of h war to be allowed
to return to their fatherland, some
for q visit while others are returning
to their "old country to remain
there. Some are going back to bring
their wives, families and relatives to
this country. Others say they will
not return because the liquor has
been taken away from them over
here whereas at home they will be
able to get plenty.
Industries employing foreign labor
are beginning to have their number
of common laborers greatly de-
creased as a result of this migration
of foreigners abroad. In some cases
the number of men to leave has been
so large hat the plants have been
crippled for lack of men.
The coal shortage, however, has
made maximum production impossi-
BILE in practically every industry SO
hat the loss of those men is not felt
so much now as If they were leaving
when the plants were turning out
their maximum amount of material.
During the war 1t was impossible
for these foreign born to leave be-
cause of government rulings. This
ban on sailings has been lifted now,
however, and thousands are taking
advantage of the opportunity to see
once more the country which they
left-ln many cases several years
ago.
Many of these foreign born will
not find their homes or home towns
as they left them as the val touched
many of the places to which they are
going. In many cases the men are
leaving TO try and trace the where
abouts of relatives with whom COM
m~unication has come to an end as a
result Of the war.
Various causes may be attributed
to their leaving this country, but
owing to the enormous numbers
booking passage on ships the matter
of common labor for industries Is be-
coming a serious problem.

Peter Rabbits Funeral.
White House,
Nav %. 1904.

May IS, 1904.
DEAR KERMIT:
1t was great fun seeing you and Ted,
and l enjoyed it to the full.
Ethel, Archie and Quentin have gone
TO Mount Vernon today with the Gar
field boys. Yesterday poor Peter Rab-
bit died and his funeral was held with
proper state. Archie, In his overalls,
dragged the wagon with the little
black coffin in which poor Peter Rab-
bit lay. Mother walked behind as
chief mourner, she and Archie solemn
IL exchanging tributes to the worth
and good qualities of the departed.
Then he was buried, with q fushia
over the little grave.
You remember Kenneth Grahame'a
account of how Harold went to the
circus and sang the great spheral
song Of the circus? Well, yesterday
mother leaned out of her window and
heard Archie, swinging under a mag
nolia tree, singing away to himself,
I'm going to Sycamore, to Sycamore,
10 Sycamore. I'm going to Sycamore,
oh, to Sagamore!" 1t was his spheral
song of joy and thanksgiving.
The children's delight at going to
Sycamore next week has completely
swallowed UP all regret at leaving
mother and me. Quentin Is very
cunning. He and Archie love to play
the hose into the sandbox and then,
with their thigh rubber boot on, to
get in and make Notifications. Now
and then they play it over each other.
Ethel is playing tennis quite a good
deal.
1 think Yagenka is going to come
out all right, and Bleistein, too. l
have no hope for Wyoming or Re
nown. Fortunately, Rusty is serving
us well.

DEAR TED:
Mother and / had a most lovely
ride the other day. way up beyond
Sligo Creek to what is called North
west Branch, at Burnt Mills, where is
a beautiful gorge, deep n narrow,
with great boulders, and even cliffs.
Excepting Great Falls 1t is the most
beautiful place around here. Mother
scrambled among the cliffs in her rid
ing habit, very pretty and most inter-
esting. The roads were good and some
of the really beautiful. We
were gone four hours, half an hour
being occupied with the scrambling in
the gorge.
Saturday we went to the wedding of
Teddy Douglas and Helen. 1t was a
beautiful wedding in every way and
am very fond Of both of them. Sunday
we spent at Acknowledgement Knox's
at Valley Forge, and most unexpected
the church in the afternoon, as they
are trying to build q memorial to
Washington. Think Of the fact that
in Washington's army that winter
among the Junior officers were Alex
ander Hamilton, Monroe and Marshall
"a future president of the United
States, the future chief justice who
was to do such q wonderful work for
our government, and the man OF most
brilliant mind-Hamilton-whom we
have ever developed in this country.
