GIVE "BIG" MEN A CHANCE

The suggestion to abolish all war forever is so ideallstic that 1t Is
almost impossible for the practical mind to give it serious consldera-
tion. But it is not so idealstic that thoughtful men OF all the civilized
nations will not give it most earnest consideration.
And because is so desirable to abolish all war for all time, wheth-
or INC believes it is possible to do it or not, those who are SO resolutely
v;rkine in that direction should have the cooperation and support II
tbe peonle. If it is impossible to help bring about this most deslraoe
state of affairs, the least that can be done is to keep quiet ana give those
who r. enthusiastic in the work every chance to make good.
When the great men Of the leading nations OF the earth get TO-
gether in conference and deem the idea of q league OF nations prac-
teal enough to devote months of their time to bringing about a work
able program for its achievement, it is time for the petty scofer to take
a back seat and let the forwardlooking men have the stage.
1t may be too much to expect that our civilization is far enough
advanced to abolish war from the earth forever, but II we never try
for such an objective certainly we shall never attain it.
With the idea of a league of nations so far advanced a S to have a
tentative constitution drawn up by a committee representing many
nations Of the earth and formally presented to a conference at which
sits delegates from every quarter of the globe, whether that consttu-
ton is adopted or not, the mere fact that it could be drawn up under
such circumstances and be received in the manner it has been, Is evil
dence in itself that a league OF nations to preserve the peace of the
world is not impossible.
Now is the time for the lovers Of peace and concord to get behind
the movement and make their influence felt. Ii it is impossible to
achieve all that one would desire, let's get as near to the ideal as
possible.

THE SALVATION ARMY,S WORK

An important work that has been passed with comparatively little
notice in this city is the effort THAI has been put forth by the Salvation
Army for the benefit of the war workers, including artesians as well
as enlisted men.
The Salvation Army has won wonderful reputation for itself for
its work in France during the war. In fact, it is the one organization
that seems to have escaped criticism thus far. But right here in Perth
Amboy, as well as in every other city in the country, the Salvation
Army has been carrying on in a most effective manner.
To Adjutant and Mrs. Stubs is due the credit for the excellent
work that has been done in Perth Amboy throughout the war and now,
in order to fill an even larger field in making a home for the boys in
uniform, attractive club rooms have been uS.sSsd isehs ISsisssnSon
zssnm WITH .asH.~ o
building with Miss Barnes, an experienced worker, in charge
These rooms must be seen to be appreciated. Everything Is there for
the comfort and convenience of those who may be away from home
and then there are charming rooms with clean beds and modern con-
veniences to rent to the uniformed men for twenty-five cents night.
With a whole hearted welcome such as Adjutant and Mrs. Stubs
know how to give. and with Miss Barnes TO add to the greeting and adj
minister to every want, the Salvation Army headquarters Is just about
as near TO being at home Is one would wish.
We doubt if the people OF Perth Amboy fully appreciate or have
even yet realized what the Salvation Army is doing to make Perth
Amboy attractive to those who are far away from their own freade.

A CONTRAST OF HARBORS

Far be it from the EVENING NEWS to knock a ~neighborng
city in its effort to become a maritime metropolis in every sense of the
word, but the recent launching at the Newark yards of the Submarine
Boat Corporation when two of the vessels that took their initial dip
were jammed into the mud in Newark bay, shows that in spite of the
vast amounts already spent to make Newark bay suitable for shipping
a great deal more has got to be expended before it can be made any
where near adequate for shipping IN a large scale. Yet, unless Perth
