JUNIORS DEFEAT SOPHS
IN EXCITING GAME

The juniors settled an argument be-
tween members of their class and the
sophomores when their eleven defeat
ed the sophs representative on the
gridiron at Hudson County Park on
Tuesday afternoon. The score was 81
to Z.
When the whistle blew and the game
began Smith of the juniors kicked to
kirmeyer on the ten yard line who
received the ball and rushed it all
through the juniors team, to the spec
tators it looked as though he would
make touchdown, but Vaughn made
a splendid tackle and brought him
down on the thirty yard line
Then they lost the ball on downs.
The Juniors advanced the ball to the
forty yard line where Martens inter
cepted a forward and the sophs got
the ball after several line plunges
Martens carried the ball around left
end and made a touch down for the
sophs. Kirmeyer failed to kick the
goal.
The first quarter ended with the ball
in the soph's sossesSi6ia,rSsS sssySl tbs
yard line QI4tba AI---t n ~, sssdka
second quarter Kirmeyer plunge@
through the line and again seemed to
be off for touch down when Vaughn
again tackled him. The juniors again
got the ball and finally reached the
foot line with the ball, but they lost
it. Kirmeyer punted and Eberlee re-
Smith missed the goal. In the second
quarter both teams had possession of
the ball and Smith carried the ball
over the goal line. Smith then kick
ed the goal.

Genuine Philanthropy.

Lady Aston won her seat in paria-
ment because she had shown IA ten
dency toward more equal distribu-
ton of wealth among the community
Actions speak loudly, and she had dis
pensed quite lot of her personal
wealth in various ways among the vii
layers. The others judged that she
would be in favor of governmental
measures that would make living con-
ditions easier for the poor people.
This is not always true, for some in
the past have obtained office by pre-
tending to be so concerned and "by
throwing sprat" have caught
whale. We credit Lady Astor with
real benevolence.

MASONS AT CHURCH.

On Sunday evening, the Wakefield
Lodge of Masons, attended service at
the Church of the Goog Shepherd. Rev.
Mr. kirwan, rector of the church, well
coined them and their friends, and
chose a very fitting text for his SER
mon, which brought out the kinship
which exists between the church and
the lodge. The anthem chosen by the
choir for this occasion was upon the
Cross of Jesus" which was rendered
in excellent tone. Miss Elsa Sulger
was the Soloist.

parties. The high cost of living.
scarce food and coal and dear cloth
ing were the realities at stake.
Inc clever substitution of "to beer
or not to beer" diverted the attention
OF the hocks from the perplexity of
the shepherds. People had goose flesh
and hair raising at the prospect of sep
afatlng the poor man from his beer
others had nervous prostration at the
prospect of allowing the poor to SEN
arate themselves from their beer
money. Appetite wen!

An Oversight.

The people who thought formerly
that we ought to exchange our prod
ucs for gold instead of their labor
projects never thought that labor cost
Wen into gold value. lust as it goes
inte the value of other articles. Now,
wha should we accept the pauper gold
of Europe at the expense of our own
golf producing labGrers? Why not
paMour gold miners high wages and
prosct them against the competition
of Rauper miners abroad? | never
heaa one protectionist bring forward
thaI plea. We should have put a
heaW tariff on gold to be consistent.

Thoughts of Today
A New Outlook,

President Wilson in his message to
Congress- points out the change of
this country toward our foreign trade.
We are no longer in danger of be-
ing swamped with foreign goods, be-
calse there aren't any, and there will
benone for some years to come.
He says if we want to sell we must
bug in order to do so. This is true.
we don't want gold in exchange for
fod because we have glut of it now.

In the last both teams played a
good brand of football and neither
team threatened to score but the ball
was most of the time in the sopho-
mores own territory. With only few
minutes to play. Smith tried a field
goal and only missed increasing the
lead three points by few inches
Both teams played well although
many fumbles were made during the
game Smith, Vaughn, Eberless, Cas-
tellano and McClosky played best for
the juniors while Mcdonald, Honk
and Martens played best for the sophs,
Kirmeyer and Whelan also played
good for the sophs.

CIiffside Park Library Notes.

The Cliffside Park Public Library
broke all previous records on Monday
with circulation of 247 books. The
average last month was 1873 books per
day. New books and new readers are
coming in daily, and the library is be-
ing used more and more for reference
and real work. At least half of the
books circulated are now fiction. Cliff
side is surely in need of a library
building, and at the present rate of
usage it is positive necessity.
Are you giving books for Christmas
presents? The library has the A. L.
A. guide to the best books published
monthly, also many lists of books on
varied subjects and for every age.
Why not give books that are worth
keeping and reading again, especially
to the children. Your librarian is al
ways ready and willing to help you to
gain the most benefit from your Ii
brary. Are you taking advantage of
that? n. f. BOWMAN,

THE CASUALTY RECORDS

The work of the American war depart ment in straightening out its casualty lists is about completed. When fighting ceased the records of the department showed that 19,8Oo men were reported missing i'll action" By February this number had been reduced to / 500 and little by little complete records have come i'll to diminish the number of names oil the list of those whose histories are not known until there are only two American soldier, now unaccounted for.
 It is old Naurya in "Ridcrs of the Sea- who says convincingly what had never been said in literature beiorc-that even death is a relief after long uncertainty. It is to the credit of the American army that only two names are left on the list missing; i'll other word, only two men ol all we sent across went out into oblivion without leaving trace that would indicate the manner ol their deaths. The complete casualty records, now ill Wash ington, tell the story of every other death in the army.
 Of all the remarkable things about Amer ican participation in the war this looks most extraordinary The French reported 25O,OOO missing and the British l2l OO0 The chaos of battlefront is no place to keep thin@> straight. One shell may strike a truck full of men, night patrol may vanish, wounded men may be killed on the way to a hospital and all the typical Carelessness of the Ameri- can boy with such trfles as identification tags made the work of compiling complete report we'll nigh impossible But it has been done. No doubt mistakes have been made. Men supposed dead will be found in Germany, and others will be found straggling back with the wrong division. But in the main the records will be found authentic. They will be very sorrowful also. Probably there is no library in the country so full of tragedy, so full of bitterness, so full of grief over the necessity of war, so full of determination that we shall have no more war, as these terse casualty re- cords

 The facts have been so far obscurcd by the oratory that it is worth while 10 briefly re- call them The peace treaty did not give Shan tung and kiau-Chau to Japan. It gave this territory now under Japanese military con trol, back to China Japan expressly pledged her word that Shantuug will be restored to China at all carly date, and the Japanese gov crnment k not in the habit ol breaking its pledged word.
 The treaty diH "givc" to Japan the in du,triaI rights and concessions in Shantuug which are to be retained by her. The treaty confirmed Japan in possession of things which she had already taken by military force. They did not belong to China. They belonged to Germany having been ccdcd to Germany in 1908 as a recompcnsc for the alleged murder of German missionaries Senator lodge was member of the party in power at that time and he was taking active interest in the for cign policies of the United States even at that early datc but he never raised his voice against Germany being given these conccs- sons. A democratic senator did protest at that time, but the Mckinley government gave him no attention. That ccssion wa, undoubt- cdIy brutal violation Of moral right and ab ~tract justice, but the governments of all the great powers expressly or implicitly condoucd it from 1898 to I914. And the pledges made 10 Japan in the darkest hour of the war; when the allies were with their back, to the wall, were made by governments which had never stated as a war aim that they proposed to right all mjustices everywhere in the world, That contribution was made by America alone, and even in America almost solely by the admirers of the President These are facts and they should be faced squarcIy
 The league of nations, which the rcpub- Iican senators wish to slay ill the cradle, is the worlds greatest hope that iniusticcs such as have undoubtedly been done in the far East will be rectfied. It is poor politics to argue against establishing a fire department by showing that conflagration is raging.

THE, SHANTUNG AMENDMENT

In the Shantung amendment which the senate foreign relations committee pro- poses to tack on to the peace treaty it is diff cult to ind any purpose save to do as much harm as possible to the President. By the amendment the republicans pretend to purpose to give back to China those rights which she ceded to Germany in 1898 and which have been acquired by Japan as a result of the war Every senator who voted for the amendment must have known at the time he cast his vote that no possible action the United States sen ate might take could have such a result.
 Clearly it is not because the senators love China more but the President less, says the New York Globe, that their anguished cries ring to Heaven Exactly this sort of ''infam- ous spoliation" of China went on for many years prior to 1914, not only on the part of Japan and Germany, but France and England

AID TO GOLD MINING
ENCllannc-

Important and unusually rapid changes in the monetary problems facing the nation, the question of maintaining the gold reserve and protection of Americas control Of the silver balances and prices has ed the American AIin- ing Congress to take an active part in the fight for both the yellow and white metals
 Mr. Harold N. aWrie chairman of the board of the Oregon bureau of mines and geology, nationally notable as a student of economies whose writings attract attention turnout the Word has accepted the active charmanship of the division of precious and rare metals in the Mining Congress and is to devote his time to the new work. Ar. LaWric has already held conferences with government officials ill Washington and with groups of gold and silver producers and leading bankers in New York
 The fact that the cost of labor, supplies, smelling, transportation and executive man agement of properties has advanced to point where only high grade gold producing mines can operate profitably, spells anmhiIation to all except the very few "hiGh grade" gold mines
 Something must be done for gold!
 This is not an unusual exclamation, but no one has the answer. Theorizing must be at an end Action, and prompt at that, is the only salvation for an industry in which mil lions of American dollars are at stake and upon which the gold reserve of the world rests.
 The secretary of the American Mining Congress has long believed that the problem could be worked out without disturbing the finances of the country. His success in se- curing as an active Co-WOrker at this time, man whom the financial interests of the na- ton hold in high regard, has renewed the op- timism of many gold producers and they are of precious and rare metals

One incident of the visit of Prince of Wales to the United States, in 1860, will not be duplicated by the visit of the Prince of Wales in 1919. During his stay in Boston the visiting prince was introduced to Mr. Ralph Farnham, the last of the American soldiers who had fought at Bunker Hill The veteran of the Revolution and the young prince of the British royal house exchanged autographs, for, as the old soldier said he ''wished to show the boy that he bore no anger for old times " The visit, however, undoubtedly did much to reduce anti-Brtish sentiment in America, and the prince proved himself as the king did aiterward, likabe person with the power of making those he met feel friendly to his own country.

WORLD "JOY MAD,
SAYS V0N BOSSE
Spree of Extravaganza" De-
nounced by Pastor of Zion
Lutheran Church
DANCES AND SONGS
INDECENT, HE SAYS

What he termed "the mad chase for
pleasure" was scored by the Rev. :
q. Won Bosse during a sermon last
night in Zion Lutheran Church, OF
which he is pastor.
"The nation is on a spFeo Of extrava-
gance. Eat. drink and be merry, for
tomorrow we die, is its motto" said
Mr.. Won Bosse.
1T is not enjoyment that find fault
with" said the pastor, but the man
ner in which IL is taken. Enjoyment
is a good and necessary thing. But
the modern attitude towards pleasure
is not TO regard IL as recreation, but as
the duty, the aim and end Of life"
The earnest questions Of life are neg
lected. This is not only the case in
America, but those who have visited
Europe agree with our foreign CORE
spOndenis that the whole world is en-
gagged in a terrible round Of pleasure.
"The automobile In itself is a fine
thing. but in pleasure-mad hands il
eliminates in the JOY ride. This state
of affairs is shown in the dances aud
the songs that are prevalent. Decency
is laughed at in quarters where il used
TO be a matter Of pride. The places OF
strive 10 Outdo each other
in helping these pleasure-bitten throngs
TO spend their money and themselves"
