that can be imposed for violation of
the sanitary code.
All milk peddlers will be prosecut-
ed If they use wagons which have not

signifying that the owner is a regis
tered licensed milk dealer. These
plates, which are issued by the health

tors. Store proprietors who sell milk

city is due to arrive here at 11:SO
o'clock and will remain here for one
hour. 1t will dock at the New York
& New Jersey Steamboat Company $
wharf at the foot of Smith street and

which was brought to this country
from Germany by an American crew,
is one of the largest in the possession
of the German government when the
armistice was signed and will start
on it's voyage from New York early
tomorrow morning. making It's nrst
stop at Atlantic Highlands.
From the Highlands it will proceed
up ~Raritan bay to Staten Island
sound to this city. A meeting, with
speakers, along the same line as that
held about the whippet tank last
week, is being arranged. The craft
after its visit here will continue up
Staten Island sound to Elizabeth and

most every type of lighting machine
possessed by Uncle Sam. First n.y.
ing boat and an army airplane was
brought here to drop literature and
give exhibitions in the air. Next one

much was heard during the war was
secured, this war machine giving a
demonstration of it's activities for the
residents here and last but NOT least
one of the big Hun undersea craf'
has been secured.
One of the first submarines ever
built was launched in the Arthur Kill,

Those who saw the undersea craft
then. when in it's first stages of de-
velopment, and who will have the
privilege to see the big German boat
tomorrow will see to what extremes
the Germans developed the subma-
rine.
Owing to the lack of time in which
to make arrangements for the arrival
of this craft, some work is being done
by the liberty loan executive COM
mittee in order to give il. a royal well
come. Crafts will likely be used to
go down the bay and accompany II

made to cover every section of the
