Phils slip to the bottom. Perhaps
Coombs would have done the same with
Cincinnati and perhaps Moran would he
in the same predicament if he We're still
with the Phils. but the fact remains
that Moran is ahead.
1t is unfortunate that Coombs should
have staked his managerial reputation
with the Phils at this time. 1t is not
his fault that the club is in last place.
The class is not there with the players
and they have had lot of injuries. Most
of the players swear by Coombs as the
most thoroughly versed and clevcrest
manager the club ever has had.

BARRY TO CONFER
WITH MACK JULY 4
Result Of Meeting Will Decide
Whether Jack Will Play
With Athletics

Meriden, Conn, June 3o-Jack
Barry, who was traded to the Philadel-
phia Athletics by the Red Sox last
Thursday. is at his parents home here
and has not yet reported.
He would not give his reason for not
being with the Mackmen. but said that
he was to meet Connie Mack in Boston
on July 4, and the result of the meeting
would decide whether or not he would
play in Philadelphia this year.
Barry, with Amos Strunk. was traded
to the Philadelphia Club for Maurice
Shannon and Bobby Roth. Both Strunk
and Roth have already played on their
new teams.
A matter of salary is believed to be
the reason for Barrys delay in going
to the Mackmen.

HOW TO SPEND THE MONEY.

Editor Evening News;
While coming home from Perth
Amboy today on the trolley car, | hap
pened to notice an article on your
editorial page, thai was signed by
RED. Who this honorable gentle
man Is, 1 do not know, nor do l care
Neither did / serve in the 4th DiViS-
ion in France. Yet, it makes me
sick to always hear somebody groWl-
ing about this and that. / was "Over-
seas and served most of my time ly-
ing on my back, in q hospital Ill
France. I lave been over the top
seven times, and been in the hospital
only four times. OF course. / realize
that all of the above has nothing to do
with the editorial, I saw in your paper,
but RED asks that he be given some
of the money left out of the Welcome
Home Fund. OF, course, l know that
he Is an honorable man and for that
reason does not state that, yet one Is
not always blind. Then again RED
state that this money should go toward
the Legion Fund, OF something to that
effect to build a home. Again RED IS
wrong. Last, RED states that this
money should not be used towards the
building of a monument for our boys
who died il France Does REL re-
alize what he was saying? At least,
that bit could be done towards helping
our future generations in remember
Ing what we OF to-day have done. No
wonder he did not sign his name to
the letter.
Now. I am sure hat every member
of the American Legion, Il citizens
and everybody else (perhaps RED al
so,) will agree with me that the boys
who have come back do not wan
CHARITY. Also that they want their
future taxes and that OF their children
as well, to be as low as possible. l,
also, am sure that all of the boys that
came back do not want a share of the
money left. I am also sure that the
majority OF the boys (and they have
sense) do not care to have any of the
money nor will they kick that some
body is getting n graft.
VIII close hoping that RED will see
as 1 do and the majority of others see
that the best use for this balance
would be to build a monument. Not
one, but several. One to be at Wash
ington Park, one to be at City Hall
Park and ONE to be at the foot of High
street. Let the monument be In the
form of a fountain, Or something to
that effect.
Yours truly,

THAT WELCOME HOME FUND

EDITOR EVENING NEWS:
In Saturdays issue of you paper
there appeared a very interesting ar
| ticle regarding the Welcome Home
| celebration for the returned soldiers,
/! where the committee after some four
or five months delay, finally decided
to award each entitled man, the fat
sum of ten whole American dollars
as a token of appreciation for the SER
vice rendered by soldiers during the
late war.
1t looks rather dubious after walt
ing so long for a final decision as.
the fate of the fund hat the execu-
tive committee ventures forth. and ex-
plodes the sad news, hat the money
is to be given away in cash prizes
making it a Christmas present. Yes,
and It's going to be ten dollars. too.
Think of it boys, ten berries! What
will we do with all that money! There
is at present well over $4,000 In that
Welcome Home Fund, hat was do
mated by the people of Perth Amboy
and intended solely for the soldier.
! Why shouldn't the soldier be given all
that money? Why not divide it
up equally? The simplest form of
calculation will convince any bimbo
that 200x10 is certainly not 5,000-or
over. Your article further states
that there about 200 men registered
1 oCSA n toS lam
I read al account in your paper there
were 165 registered, n that wasn't
so very long ago either. Still further
the article goe on, stating that NOW
| that 1t has been decided to give the
men a $40 gift. many men not regis
tered, will make themselves known
I am of the opinion hat there are but
few men that a not registered. All
returned soldiers that missed thai
racket last Summer were men serving
with regular units. and the last home,
All regular divisions are home now
and consequently discharged, unless
serving out an enlistment. There
fore there will be few to register
Here's a suggestion: Why not allow :
or 4 more days time for those who
have not registered to make them
selves known n after that consider
the register closed; then take the
number of men registered and divide
by the total OF fund. and equally
award the men entitled and lets have
the thing settled once and for all.
Later, have a statement published
in THE EVENING NEWS regarding
the distribution, names of recipients
etc. The money. was intended for the
soldiers. why can't the soldiers gei

shake-up that would stir the depart
ment from top to bottom. There
would be a general transfer of men
and it would be surprising If a number
of retirements were not brought about
as a result.
Such q condition as has been re-
vealed here shows hat those respon-
sibe for the police doing their duty
are o on the job. To have the
county prosecutor come in and arrest
men on the force itself is n reflection
on the city hat cannot be passed UNI
noticed. The people who so gener-
ously voted a substantial increase in
pay for the policemen want to know
who is responsible for such n condi-
tion-a condition that would doubt
less have continued to exist were it
not for the activity of the county au-
thorities.
For the sake of the good men ear
ing the uniform of the police depart
ment Of Perth Amboy this matter
cannot be allowed to rest with the
action of the county prosecutor alone.
The honest, capable men are in the
majority on the force. Properly man
aged and directed. there is no city in
the country that has a better lot of
policemen. It is for the city authori-
ties to go into the matter thoroughly
and see that the people get the service
that they are entitled to In return for
the substantial increase they have
voted for the patrolmen and which
the aldermen are duty bound to grant.

DIVIDE ALL THE MONEY.

EQltOr Evening NEWS.
There appeared in Fridays issue of
your paper an article under the Pub
lie Opinion column, "A Soldiers Sug-
gestion'' signed by "Red." The writer
evidently an ex-soldier has ventured
forth. and stated his view on the bal
ance OF money left over from the last
Welcome Home Celebration, which
was intended for the boys, who were
discharged after June 30th. l agree
with the writer of the suggestion to
come to some sort of conclusion. AS
the whole thing stands at present re-
garding that money, is a mystery TO
all concerned.
There has been no definite decision
as what will be done with the fund,
by either those responsible, or the SOL
dier's themselves. There appeared
from time to time. letters of sugges-
ton in your paper by ex-soldiers, as to
what should be done, but 1t all failed
to bring about a final settlement.
According to the statement publish
ed in your paper some time ago show
ing expenditures etc, of celebration
held last Summer, there was after that
a balance of well over 81 5000. My sug-
gestion is to take this money and
equally divide 1t among the men on
titled. This money was intended for
the boys for some sort of celebration,
ana let De III the form Oh u CASH plAAS.
1t would be a great celebration, and
an appropriate Christmas gift conf
bined, If awarded before the coming
holidays what the average ex-
service man wants when leaving the
service, is a little financial start, par
t~icularly during these trying days of
labor unrest. Some soldiers are out
of work and consequently out of funds.
A little gift like the III mentioned,
would help some just around Christ
mas, I'm sure. Let the Welcome Home
Committee try and consider that
Christmas present before Christ
mas.
Hoping you find space in your esti-
mable paper for the publication of this
letter. and thanking you in advance.
1 remain.
Very truly.

AMERICA AS A GUTTER.
EDITOR EVENING NEWS:


Your editorial under the title
Germany Takes Courage" vas ex-
cellent and your conclusion that
Senator Lodge and his followers
have certainly put new hope in Ber-
lin," is the only correct one that be
reached under the d~eplorable circun-
stances. The Germans do find great
comfort in the recent action of the
American Senate. They so do on the
theory that without che cooperation
of the United States the other powers
will be compelled to soften the terms
or a or ease up on the enforce
ment OF them.
e We e glad to impose the terms
of the peace treaty on Germany, but
were unwilling to help in enforcing
them. In this respect the terms inn
posed or America were no different
from those imposed upon other pow
ers. 1t means therefore that once
the unobjectionable terms were i'm
posed on Germany the honor and
safety of the United States required
us to desert the Allies and decline to
enforce them or to have any interest
in any of the free peoples set up
from the dismembered enemy states.
The flower of our American man.
hood went over to Europe on the the
DRY that our national safety required
that Germany should be beaten. We
now propose disclaining any re-
s~ponsibility for seeing thai she stays
beaten and pays the price. We Joined
France, England, Belgium and others
and spent our blood and IL money
to make victory possible, and now we
propose to withdraw from u Allies
and allow Germany to gain 1t. And
this sort of thing is exalted into a
pure Americanism and an essential
condition of our national honor and
safety.

Ripping Rhymes
BY w II MASON
The Strike.

For many years, oh DANES and
gents, I've written PONIES for
twenty cents, but now I've raised
the price: a quarter now you must
unload. If you would buy of me an
ode, and naught less suffice. My
laurel wreath, the uesful Tyre that
/ have twanged with jealous fire,
I've laid upon the shelf; no more
shall / endure my wrongs; IL you
want helpful, deathless songs,
you'll have to sing yourself. My
wrongs! I don't know what they
are, but in all places, near and far,
men talk of wrongs with bile; and
I don't want to trail along without
a single blawsted wrong-I want
to be in style. 1 am resolved no
Tyrant's heel shall grind my face
or place the seal of bondage on
my brow; and so my muse has
quit her flights: I'll stand up for
my sacred rights, though 1 must
soak the COW. In vain your wall
ing children plead for elegies and
odes to read, I've shut off the sup
ply; In vain your wives the cup
boards comb to find a madrigal
oil pome-there's nothing there
but pie. In vain you rant around
and curse because you cannot find
a verse to paste inside your hat;
until my wrongs, whate'er they
be have found a proper remedy.
I'll sing no more. that's fiat.
