HI WELCOME HOME

The enthusiastic manner in which the various organizations of
the city have responded to the idea of parading before the returned
soldiers ON the day of the welcome home" celebration shows the
true Perth Amboy spirit. The plan is a novel one. So far as known,
Perth Amboy is the only one that has adopted it.
Usually it is the soldiers that have to do the parading while the
civilians stand on the side lines and cheer. But the boys have had
all the parading that they want for years to come. The almost uni
yersal expression nj the part of the soldiers is not to parade. They
want to get home and away from thoughts military as soon a pos
sible.
Tt was former Mayor Garretson who conceived the idea of re-
versinp the plan, therefore, and have the boys sit ON the reserved
seats while the people of the city, marching with their various So
cities. pass by and cheer the boys. 1t is indeed a happy thought
and is likely to be followed elsewhere when others hear about it.
Once more Perth Amboy finds herself a pacemaker.
After the people have paraded past, the boys vii be escorted
to the copper works field where a big jolGfcation in the shape OF a
real old fashioned clambake, such as the boys have not had since
they left home will be served. At night there will be block dan
cling and a general reception. On the Sunday previous will be the
memorial services in the churches.
In short, the people of the city are going to entertain the boys
who will be the city's guests, instead of having the boys entertain
the city, as is usually the custom.
Perhaps the best meature of all in connection with this home
coming is that only one-third of the funds collected for the welcome
is TO be spent in this form of demonstration. The other two-thirds
Of the money collected will be set aside to see that the boys who
return later are property recognized and, what Is still better, the
money will be used to give financial assistance to the boys who find
themselves hard pressed for funds during the period between taking
off the uniform and getting back into civilian life once more. This
have reason to feel grateful for the thoughtfulness of the committee
in this regard. Incidentally, the people can give to the cause with
the assurance that all is not to be "blown in" on a good time.
Perth Amboy surely intends to show the boys that the city ap
preciates what they have done. The least those of us who stayed
home can do is to contribute to help this most worthy cause.

WASHINGTON, d. C., May Is
Antwerp, which is being considered as
the base for evacuation of the Amer
lean army Of occupation in Germany,
is described in the following bulletin
issued by the National Geographic
Society:
Antwerp, Europe's Hamburg of
the sixteenth century and Atnen OF
the seventeenth, compels American
admiration by its phenomenal power
to come back Crushed by wars
inquisitions, economic bans and per-
secutions of its people, Antwerp al
ways has risen again.
Figures tell the story. Popula-
ton In 1858, f25,000; twenty years
later, only $1,000. For 1850 to 1850
the population almost doubled. To lit
100000 in 1904, q hundred Thousand
more were added before the Germans
came in October, 1914. 1880 yes-
sells that passed in and out OF its Tine
harbor in 1905 marked an increase OF
more than fifty per cent since 1855
Not that Antwerp is a perennial
boom town. II is at least fifteen cen
turtles old. And during that ime its
story is one of struggle against re-
peated tragedies. When the Germans
invaded the city its noble cathedral
tower looked down on just n mere,
though infinitely more mruel, blow or
the sort II had been receiving since
the middle ages. Napoleon (some say
