ROOSEVELT SERVICE
AT PALISADE CHURCH
LAST SUNDAY MORNING

A special service in honor of the
memory of Theodore Roosevelt was
given at the Union Church of Palisade
last Sunday, Rev. H. p. Guhse giving
the time regularly appointed for the
children to talk on the great Ameri-
can and eX-President who passed away
January 8. He spoke of the many strong
points in the character of Theodore
Roosevelt and quoted a feeling tribute
from DR.. Crane, one of the best things
on the great leader he had seen and
which, he thought, would serve as a
tribute better than anything he him
self could present. AT the same time
Mr.. Guhse paid Mr.. Roosevelt a ster-
ling honor saying his example would
stand for the best there was in Ameri-
can citizenship. He said the greatest
thing about Roosevelt, in his opinion,
was the fact that he had raised fam
lily of American boys and girls. He
was proud of the record the great
statesman had left behind him, which,
he was sure, would live through the
centuries.
Following this the regular morning
sermon was delivered on text appro-
pirate to the days celebration of Holy
Communion, which was offered in a
solemn and feeling manner

BOY BURGLARS WORK

At a meeting of the Bogota council

about the arrests of boys for burglary
and of the escape of one The robber-
les had occurred at the Susquehanna
station, the Office of the Federal Pa
perboard Company and COoper's mar
ket. The Waterman at the Federal
Company had detected the boys and
called an officer and caused their ar
rest 1T is evident that we have bur-
glars in town and that they are local
boys" the report declared According
to reports, they call houses on the
phone where they think the lady is
likely to be out and if they fail to get
an answer proceed to rob the place.
There seems to be a gang, but the po-
lice now have some of them and are
hot on the trail of the Others"
This news is interesting The recent
robberies in Palisade were thought by
some to have been the work of boys.
but the use of the Jimmy made them
appear like a grown up job.

DISPOSING OF |. W. W.

The holding of Il big mass meeting
in First Ward Park, Passaic, and the

MRS. PURDON TO DIRECT
PATRIOTIC LEAGUE
FOR PALISADE GIRLS

Spurred on by their popular success
and Fancies," the Palisades Girls Pa
triOtic League have now gone into the
matter of reorganizing their forces
and giving the league a more practical
significance. First off they realized
that of necessity it required some ma
tronly supervision of their labors-
some one who could not only direct
them properly, but also be in sympa-
thy with their praiseworthy aims.
Their first leader was Miss Katherine
Cohen, who was willing, efficient and
able, but owing to her continued alb
sence was not able to be regular at
tendant upon the leagues delibera-
tons. During the recent preparations
for the play that was presented with
such signal success Mrs. u. A. Carson
took the girls in hand, trained them
admirably, with Mr.. Carsons help, but
could not remain as permanent head
of the organization, though the men,
bers all besieged her.
The next move was to look around
for another head, and finally after
Mrs. John Purdon had seen them in
"Fads and Fancies'' and heard how
they had thrived in the regular work
they had done during the war she was
willing to listen to their plea for a
helper and consented TO be the direct
ing head. To this end the organization
is now in shape to proceed on its mis-
sion, and Mrs. Purdon says she misses
her guess if the Palisade Girls Patri-
otic League does not become not only
an important feature of the social
structure of the village, but a valuable
institution as well. She is going about
the task before her with her we'll
known enthusiasm and spirit, and the
girls may as well know here as any
where that they could not have sought
out more capable or a more sympa-
thetic colaborer.
The Girls Patriotic League is going
to be heard from.

and realizing the necessities that took
one over we had to make the best of
it. But it was an eventful voyage. 1t
took long time to get there and we
were conveyed all the way. l recall
the day we left. There were some 300
passengers aboard and some 5000 SOL
diers. We went down the bay, dozen
ships of US, and just outside of Sandy
Hook were met by number of de-
stroyers, while many seaplanes hover
ed over us for miles out to sea- We went
by Halifax when our fleet of convoys
left us, and we went on ahead with
only Il British cruiser When we got
within the danger zone, nearing the
other side, we began to get into COM
munication by wireless with the allied
fleet Once within the danger zone
they came fast Next to the last day
of the trip we were notified that jap
anese ship had been sunk in our identi-
cal path by submarine the night be-
fore, some 700 lost, and to be on the
lookout. We at once shifted our
course, zigzagging every foot of the
way, of course. This was necessary.

WILSON IS PIED
PIPER OF EUROPE,
WHITE DECLARES
BY WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE,

| copyrighted by Wheeler Syndicate.)
Especial Cable Dispatch to the WORLDLY
Paris, Feb. 10.-The net result of
President Wilson's European trip is a
1 definite will among the elder states
| Nations. When he left America two
months ago there was an equally def
mite will among the same statesmen
not to have a League of Nations, but
| to establish Quadruple Alliance and
MAKE a peace based upon the balance
of power
Nothing that President Wilson has
said to these elder statesmen has con-
WINGED them that they We're wrong, but
what he has said to the people of Eu-
rope and the way the people of Europe
have received what he has said has
convinced the elder statesmen that if
they do not give Europe a League of
Nations revolution in Europe will fol-
low the war
The President merely has voiced the
conviction of the world that it has out
grown war, and the voiced conviction
of the world has convinced the rulers
of Europe And as they love their jobs
more than they hate the idea of the
League of Nations they have decided
to join the league. Wilson has been
the Pied Piper of Hamelin town whose
pipe has attracted all the people into
the mountain, and the League of Ma
| lions is the price he asks to restore
| them.
| He has not submitted to the world a
plan for his league. No one knows
what his plans are he has made no
new arguments for it. He has brought
out no new features of the league that
are distinctively his When the league
| is formed it will contain little of his
| language, and yet if he had not come to
Europe there would have been no
lele.ggue. and there will be no very i'm
| poltant league il he does not return.
Yet he did not buster nor threaten,
but smiled a rather irritating, mechan-
ical grin as he piped his merry tune
over Europe. In carrying on this cam
paign for democratic League of Ma
lions he has played his usual solitary
game, consulting no one, retiring to his
cloister and out of his inner conscious
ness evolving such provisions for the
league as he has contributed
He has not printed his draft, as the
men have done who represented other
nations on the committee to draft the
charter of the league. 1t is grotesquely
ironic that the man who has done more
than any other man on earth to form
| the League of Nations should have fol-
lowed the most undemOcratic methods
/ in putting out his propaganda. And
yet he must not be judged by methods,
but by results, and in the matter of re-
/ suits he made good, or stands to make
| good, if he will return and follow up
| the tremendous advantages which his
presence in Europe gained for his idea.
These words are written by one who
never has supported President Wilson
and who sincerely hopes he may never
have to support the party for which
! Wilson stands. Yet fairness demands
that he should be given full credit for
! the fact that the chief business of the
/ Peace Conference is the establishment
of League of Nations which shall
| have certain definite political powers,
military powers and economic powers
which should do much in the future
| toward preventing war

Three lone passengers on a Bergen
car of the Public Service Corporation
were browsing in ON their various
WAYS home while ON the Bergen turn
pike in Fairview shortly before mid
night Monday when the car was hailed
by two men at Myers avenue.
Motorman Walter Coleman of 412
Hague street, West HObOken, after al
lowing the men to board the car, pro-
ceeded toward Hackensack. One of
the men, according to Conductor Fred
Weber of Jersey City, drew revolver
and ordered the motorman to stop the
car.
Coleman refused, thinking that he
could reach a more crowded district
before any harm could be done. He
put on speed. The man with the re-
yOlver then pressed it into the motor
man, who stopped the car while the
holdup men searched the pockets of
both members of the car crew.
In the clothing of the conductor they
found $32SS When this was finished

One passenger who was overlooked
had $500 on his person.

fine ANNUAL REPORT
To the Honorable Board of Freehold

To the Honorable Board of Freehold
ers of the County of Bergen, State
of New Jersey:
In accordance with the custom I ini-
tiated at the close of my first year as

the fiscal year from November 15 1917,

had its effect, as was to be expected,
upon the finances of this office. The
receipts naturally fell off, due to the
decrease in the amount of the income
producing business, although the total
amount of business transacted was
much greater. Most of this increased
business, however, as shall be shown
later in this report, brought no revenue
into the office. The following figures
were taken from the official records OF
the county collectors office. The total
receipts of the year We're S331 ,366.2l, a
decrease of $2,295.52 from last year,
when the receipts were $40, 1918.
The expenses were $36,7S7.42, an in
crease over last years figures of
$2,06604, last years expenses being
$50, 721.3S The increase in this years
expenses was chiefly due to the war
bonus granted to the county employees
and the difference in salary paid to
those in the service, we having had
one enlistment from this office. | am
glad to be able to report that, in spite
of the increased expenses and the di-
lninished receipts, there is a net profit
for the year of $57S.45.
In closing, | wish to extend to the
members of your honorable board, also
the custodian, Mr.. James Devine, and
the various employees of your board,
my sincere appreciation for the coop
Grafton extended to me as county clerk
by you and them during the past year.
Respectfully submitted,
