BIC SITE HERE
FOR PLAYGROUND
WINS SUPPORT
Penna r. r. Likely to Allow
Use Of Field Opposite the
Station

The likelihood that the city will be
able to obtain the site belonging to
the Pennsylvania railroad at Smith
and Elm streets, opposite the station,
for use as a permanent municipal
playground was increased yesterday
when ii was learned at the office of
the real estate department of the
railroad in Jersey City that a repre-
sentative would consult with men,
bers of the playground commission
come time next week.
The information was received by a
member of the playground commits
sion who telephoned the Office of the
real estate department yesterday af-
ternoon during the meeting of the
commission. 1t is probable that the
site will be rented on some plan of
benefit both to the city and the rail-
road.
Miss Corrinne l.. Paine, supervisor
of Fairgrounds, declared this morn
ing that the commission had chosen
that site, If obtainable, as ideal, since
1t is located in the heart of one of
the most congested districts The site,
covering a whole city block, gives
ample room for all sorts of games,
she said. A fence surrounding the
grounds would be necessary If the
spot is secured.
The playground commissioners, as
well as the Perth Amboy Women's
club and Miss Jane Huffard, have
sought the railroad property for use
as a playground for some time it Is
understood. The children use the
place at present in large numbers.
but without the supervision and pro-
lection of a director. do not obtain
more than a slight share of the ad-
vantages the site offers.
The meeting of the commissioners
yesterday was the first of the year.
As Mr.. c. G. Baldwin's term runs out
this coming January he resigned as
president of the body and N. w. Pierce
was elected in his place. K. w. Mac
Comas was appointed secretary.
Five Play Centers will be opened
this summer. These are located at
Hayes Park, at School number 8, 6, 2,
and fifth spot will be decided up
on this week. Some form of a per-
manent playground will be selected
and equipped as municipal center and
intensive evening recreation will go
on. Besides the base ball league which
is already started for the Juniors there
will be other leagues for the girls and
boys, such as Volley Ball, Hit Ball.
Indoor Baseball.
The following local girls we'll train
ed in games and sports have been pro-
cured for the work: Miss Cora Camp
bell. New Dorp Beach, Staten Island;
Isabelle Seeley, of Kingsburg, N. j.:
Stella Andrews, Ala State street. Perth

GERMAN TROOPS
THREATENED To
QUIT FOR PEACE
Stirring Events Before Ger
many Agreed to Give In on
Allied Demands


BERLIN, June 24-Long accounts
written for the Berlin papers by cor
respondents at Weimar telling of
events preceding the decision of the
German government to sign the treaty
of peace shows that there was threat
by generals and officers ofJiLSN tt
teer troops to quit if the treaty was
signed without reservation. Gustav
Noske minister of defense preferred
his resignation. but later succeeded in
appeasing the officers. He then with
drew his resignation under pressure
from his party and cabinet ministers
Feeling among military leaders is
still running high, notwithstanding
the fact that they are admonishing
the troops to continue in the service.
Major General Baron Won Luettwiz in
a special call reiterates his opposition
to the peace terms, while, Major Won
elisa, Herr Noske's adjutant has an
nounced that Prussian war minister,
Reinhart, will endeavor to defend the
menaced honor of the army and its
leaders by the adoption of specia,
measures"
Correspondents at Weimar are
unanimous in the belief that the pres
tige of Matthias Erzberger has been
damaged because of his mysterious,
but emphatic assurances that the en-
tente would be willing to yield on the
honor issue which failed to material
ize. Herr Erzberger's position is a
subject of much speculation and it is
believed that as soon as the peace
crisis is passed he faces a rather try
ing period.

Question:: What do you think of the
PICKED UP IN PASSING

Question: What do you think of the
City Plan idea:
Postmaster Richard +. White. IS
Market street: 'City planning can not
come too soon for Perth Amboy. 1t
| is needed here now"
Arthur E. Graham, 261 Water
street: From some years experience
in the city one can see where city
planning would have been of great
benefit even years ago. 1t is the prac-
teal application of a plan for this
particular city that will be difficult"
H. Crowell, 100 State street: II
think that a zoning plan for resi-
dences and factories as a part of the
city planning movement now being in
vestigated by the board of aldermen
would be an excellent thing. IT seems
to me that the residential sections will
have to be moved further out toward
the suburbs"
Jacob Kreielsheimer 1873 Smith
street: city planning IL properly ad-
ministered will undoubtedly improve
the residential sections. Perhaps
some use could be found for the clay
pits which are idle now"
Patrick Dolan, 377 Mechanic street:
II am in favor of Zoning plan that
will protect the residential sections
and allow well rounded development
for the city, .
