Hastings, Pittsburgh
 Grid Star, Made Bone

Red Hastings, veteran of the 1916 Pittsburgh eleven, is not above pull ing an occasional bone in football. He made a rare mistake recently in the game with Syracuse. In the sec ond periaJd Ackley tried a field goal. which fell short of the cross bar, but carried over the line. Hastings should have allowed the ball to roll over the line for a touchdown, but he tried to run it back. He was pinned on the two yard line, and then punted out on the fifteen yard line. A Syracuse touchdown followed in just a few plays.

heard. The first report was from the
traffic committee, and in the absence
of the chairman, A. w. Carroll and
Vice Chairman George Gillis, the re-
port was rendered by George w. Jack
son. He told of the work now being
done towards the belt line project,
and of the progress being made in the
securing of data requested by the en-
gineers at the head of the project.
Among the data required by the engf-
neers is that of the tonnage coming
into and going out of the city. He
said that il Is estimated that the ton
mage moving here in the course of q
year far exceeds that of the city OF
Elizabeth. He told of the work done
by the committee in obtaining bus
lines for the city. and of the necessity
of an ordinance such as has been
drawn up to protect the owners of the
buses as we'll as the city. He inform
ed his hearers that the Public Service
is already feeling the effects of the
bus lines here.
Nathaniel w. Pierce reported for
the Labor and Welfare Committee In
the absence of the chairman, G. T.
Allen. Mr.. Pierce told of the work the
committee has done to secure clinic
here for the treatment of venereal dis
eases and said that the outlook fol
the establishment of such clinic was
very hopeful. He told OF the work al
ready done towards the fighting OF
these diseases here and of the raising
of the $4,000 necessary to build the
clinic on the land donated by the City
Hospital Board of Governors.
George F. Reynolds, chairman of
the membership committee, reported
for that committee. He told of the
progress being made in the Every
member get member" campaign
and that although 1t had been expect
ed that the membership would be in
creased by about fifty or seventy-five,
only eleven memberships had been
received. He said there was only one
cause for this slackness in getting the
members; either the membership was
falling down, the committee was fall
ing down or the chairman was falling
down. He pointed out that the re-
suits showed that the membership of
the board was not interested. He

Queen Elizabeth and party of Bel
gian officers waited to receive the
President. The Americans had break
fast on their train and stepped out OF
IL prepared for their long drive. Be-
meath the Presidents long duster he
wore a frock coat. but during the trip
he wore goldng cap.
The President and King Albert set
out on their trip to Charleroi at 0
o'clock. They were accompanied by
NJ. Gastar, minister of economics, and
q numerous suite.
In stepping out of the palace this
morning the President found several
thousand persons assembled there
who clamored for a speech. He re-
sponded briefly:
MY friends" he said, 'in coming
here personally I have merely follow
ed my own heart and the heart of
the American people towards Bel
GUM"
In the palace the President had
met all the members of the Belgian
cabinet and Cardinal Mercier. By
calling first the cardinal offered a
diplomatic route for the President s
call for him at Maline today. The
general counsel of the Belgian labor
party has addressed a message to
L
'"The labor party repudiates any
peace of violence and awaits the
reign of a definite peace, assuring
the sovereignty of labor and the tri-
umph of President Wilson's princi-
pies"
The address recalls the interven-
ton of the United States in the war
and adds: IF the working classes
everywhere were masters of their
destiny it is beyond doubt that the
Presidents program would have
completely triumphed at the peace
conference and Belgium would have
obtained complete reparation for the
losses she suffered"
Belgium's attitude for Americas s
work of relief during the great war
and for the gallant service of the
American army during the last
months of the conflict was expressed
by Paul Hymans, foreign minister to-
day on the occasion of President Will
sons visit to the Belgian parliament.

The celebration committee is going
to make this event the biggest ever
seen in Perth Amboy and in order
to do this it must have sufficient
drives such as the Red Cross. Saliva
ton Army, Victory Loan, and Boy
Scouts but now it is going to give
those who have not donated an op-
portunity to come across" and those
who have, to make another contribu-
ton.
A meeting will be held at 8 o'clock

BUS ORDINANCES
To PLEASE ALL
Great Care Taken to Protect
Private and Public In
tereStS

Protection for the travelling public,
better service and regulation of the
jitney traffic will be the results of the
auto-bus ordinance which passed first
reading at the last meeting of the
Board of Aldermen. The ordinance
is designed not only to protect the
public, but will also be a stabilizing
influence in the returns the jitney OPP
orators may expect from their buses
as there is a provision that the board
may restrict the number of machines
that may operate over q given route.
A hearing to receiving complaints,
objections and suggestions as to the
provisions of the proposed ordinance
will be held by the Board of Aldermen
in the City Hall July at p. M.
1t is proposed that under the regu-
lations and rules which the board is
empowered to make under one of the
sections, that the terminal for the
jitneys be established along New
Brunswick avenue, instead OF along
State and Smith streets where the
traffic is already very heavy. The
buses will line up in order as they
arrive.
Chairman Albert G.. Waters of the
Judiciary committee has been working
on the measure for some time said
this morning that while the bus own
ers might object that they would not
get the passengers over on New
Brunswick avenue it would probably
take only a few days for the public
to get used to the new stopping place
which is only few feet from the
old point.
The Board of Trade practically
fathered the bus lines for this city.
The traffic committee of the board
long ago realized the need of buses
here and the great benefit they would
be in opening up sections which untl
this time have been without proper

sactions, from a business point OF
view, that has been reported in this
city in the past several months, was
completed yesterday afternoon when
Hyman Wedeen took title to property

connecting with sixty-six feet on State
street The amount of the transac-
ton, which was made through the Of
flee of Senator Thomas Brown, was

street. Mr.. Wedeen could not be
reached this morning by the EVEN
ING NEWS reporter, but the infor.
nation was given out by his son that

ested in the purchase, among whom
are Greenspan Brothers. PhiliI
Borak and Herman Edelstein. The
Boynton Realty Company would have
nothing to say concerning the deal.

ture forum meetings and the work of

topics discussed at the last Members
Forum for the season, held last night
in the Elks' Club. Everyone VINO

pressed with all that took place and
the repast served before the speech
making was only one of the delightful
things the forum committee had plan
ned for the occasion.

we're put in just the right humor for
the reports and talks, by the singing
of a number of songs under the lead
ership of l.. W. Ballou of Camp Rar-

various parts of the city are shooting
off torpedoes, fireworks and cap
pistols.
Steps will be Immediately taken to
stop the nuisance the mayor said.
The matter of enforcing the provisions
of the ordinance is up to the police.
he declared.
THE only possible reason that
storekeepers may think they have the
right to sell fireworks might be the
report of the Judiciary committee of
the aldermen at the meeting of June
2. which was confirmed by the board
''the mayor explained. but even that
doesn't say anything about the sale
of fireworks until one week before
the 4th." The nero confiunajon of
a. report of a committee cannot he
considered in any sense as the repeal
of an ordinance" the mayor said.
The report referred to by the mayor
was made June 2. on a communication
received from a number of storekeep-
ers in the city who asked permission
to sell "cap pistols, canes and other
harmless contrivances for period
beginning one week before July 4th
The committee on judiciary reported
favorably on the communication and
their report was confirmed by the en-

Of West If Huns Refuse to I
Sign Treaty 4

LONDON, June 19.-Morning news
papers feature British naval and other
preparations in the event of Germany
refusing to sign the treaty of peace and
print under big headlines several un-
official reports which were current
during the night.
The grand fleet has again been
placed on a war footing. it is reporteds
and ready to sail for German waters
at moments notice.
The flight of the British dirigible
R-34 to America has been definitely
postponed until Germany decides what
she intends to do regarding the peace
terms. The dirigible has been equipped
with bombs and machine guns, it is
reported and has been sent to
the Baltic, while her companion craftf
the R-33, similarly equipped left Wed-
nesday night for a cruise which will in-
clude the Kiel Canal.
The Daily Sketch says the R-34 was
over Berlin at o'clock Wednesday
afternoon. A telegram from Copen-

dozen British cruisers and several de-
stroyers prepared to enforce the block-

U. S. Delegation Not Disturbed.
By Associated Press
PARIS, June 19-While admitting
that it has little direct or comprehen-
sive information regarding the Ger
man attitude toward the signing of
the peace treaty. the American dele
cation to the peace conference is op-
timistic in its view of the situation.
In common with peace conference cir
cles generally the delegates are not
disturbed by the newspaper reports
from Germany received here of an
unfriendly nature towards the re-
Vised terms.
If Germany refuses to sign. accord
ing to one officer, the fight of the
