To Public Service

FolloWlng a meeting of the board
OF directors of Public Service Cor
poration of New Jersey held Wednes-
gay afternoon the accompanying no.
uce was mailed to President Thomas
n. McCarter, to all holders of the
common stock of the corporation:
In view of the difficulties which
the gas company and the railway
company, two of the corporations
three principal subsidiaries. have on
countered during the current year.
IN endeavoring to meet the vastly in
creased costs of labor and material
under insufficient rates. and especiallv
in view of the loss sustained bv the
railway company in the zone system
experiment, amounting to approx
mately S1,500O00, now happily con-
Guided, the board of directors of the
corporation, after full consideration
of all the facts, has thought it pru.
dent to omit the declaration of what
would have been, under normal con-
ditlons, the last quarterly dividend
upon its common stock for the cur
rent year
The corporation looks forward in
the new year and to the future with
confidence. The electric company and
the gas company, with their existing
rates are functioning under fair con-
ditions and the railway company,
under present costs, with the seven
cent fare, should be self-supporting;
that is to say, able to pay its operat.
ing expenses, including depreciation
and fixed charges.

To Have Danger
Sign on Walker St.

With the contention that a serious
accident may occur at the corner of
Palisade avenue and Walker street,
of this borough, at any time, was
brought to the borough officials at
tention by Councilman j. V. Amann,
Jr., who states that he is of the
opinion that warning sign should be
placed there at points on Walker
street about $50 feet from Palisade
avenue and two places on Palisade
avenue each about 200 feet from
Walker street, because so many
automobiles are constantly crossing
there. Mr.. Amann's suggestion was
referred to the steet and roads COM

Birdnnan Flashes
Through Palisade
Gives Town Shock

Last Saturday afternoon at o'clock
there was the most excitement for
about four seconds that ever came the
way of any village of the size of Pail
SADIE in the history of the country.
There was a sudden roar, a sort of
SplaShing, indeScribable crashing
sound that was cross between ter
rifying shock and the rending of
foot square log of pine, then flash
and the roar of the propeller of
large sized airplane bound east from
somewhere and just clearing the Pail
SADIE treetopS. 1t skirted over the vii
lage church, then scurried like a cat
shot at along over toward the Hudson.
1t was going so fast it looked like
streak, and before anybody could i'm
agine what made all that low-down
noise the thing was gone, still emit
ting its awful noise of demoniac fiend-
ishness
Whoever the fiier was he was going
so deucedly low he did not himself
realize his own danger. A theory
presented is that the plane was off it's
course perhaps and the airman, not
knowing his direction, had been driv-
ing in the heavy fog that had been on
most of the afternoon and, coming
down for clearing, got too low be-
fore he realized what he had done
and really did not know what else to
do but go on along, which he was do
ing like the "divvil beating tanbark."
1t is supposed that he reached the
Hudson all right, for his motor could
shot through Palisade, where he flew
scarcely more than sixty feet above
the ground. 1t was a close shave for
somebody.

OF Prayer encompassing them with
wide red ribbon, the effect was more
than beautiful and really effective.
Mrs. David Arthur Carson, in the
character of Mother Church, added a
great deal of dignity to the dialogue
OF the pageant and spoke her lines

Big Explosion at
Dover of Munitions
Felt on Palisades

The big explosion of munitions at
Plcatinny, Wednesday night at about
twelve o'clock was heard all over the
Palisades section, more than thirty
miles away. Not only that, it was felt.
1t sounded like the huge rumble of an
earthquake, and that was what it
really was, for the conclusion was
something awful. Some families got
up and looked over their homes think
ing it might have been a gas ex-

his Watchful care in the past, for

Bright be the skies above you;
Where'er you go still may you meet
Friends that will truly love you.
The stars are with the voyager

May those of Peace and Hope and
Home
Forever shine on thee.
Then here's to those whose loving
hearts
Shed light and joy about them;
Thanks be to you for countless deeds
We ne'er had known without 'em.
This is such a memorable night
To all who may partake it,
And proud hearts beat in unison
For the son who helped to make it.
Other nights will be as golden,
Other skies be just as blue,
Other faces gather round you
Other hearts beat fond and true.
But sacred in each memory
This day is set apart MAY y,
Filled with deepest gladness
That Bonnie did we'll his part.
And days will swiftly come and go,
With all these friends grown dear,
Who Loyalty honor our Hero

FRENCH DISTRUST
 GERMANS IN SPAIN
(Na Liberte, Paris.)

No sooner was the war over than German agents in Spain set out to take possession of the productive energies of the country. All along the Spanish coast of the Mediterranean they bought up directly or through their Spanish representatives all the fruit harvest and all the stocks in preserve-in a word, any and every thing in the way of service ability for the revictual- ment of thir country.
 German policy in Spain is simple, but very cleverly managed. It consists in the Reorganization of the country by the inoculation of Bolshevist propa- ganda, which may reach from Spain into France, where there is less dis trust of theories and practices that come from the Pyrenees than of the Anarchist miasmas that come from across the Rhine. Also they are assi- dous in spreading suspicion of France and England and Italy in dread lest Spain should join itself with a Latin Saxon union, and finally in theii schemes to capture Spanish markets in order to keep Spain under the eco homie yoke of Germany.
 In Spain the Germans enjoy ths favor of the lower clergy, which is poor and underpaid, of a section of the aristocracy, and of the upper bourgeoi- sic, who have inherited ancient ran. cours, and If we do not exert greater efforts to tighten our commercial anC industrial relations with Spain, there
