War Monument
For Camp Merritt
To Cost $4,000

The Board of FreeholderS accepted
by unanimous consent the custodian
ship of memorial to be erected at
Camp Merritt to perpetuate the site
as one of historic interest to the coun-
try, and Director Kinkley appointed
Freeholders Howell, Roberts and Allen
as a committee of three to cooperate
with the Bergen County Historical So
ciety and the officers at Camp Merritt
in the selection of proper memorial.
A resolution was introduced partly
as follows:
whereas, In order to establish a
permanent memorial of Camp Mer-
rift it is thought proper to erect "a
monument on a plot of ground at the
corner of Knickerbocker road and
Madison avenue, now belonging to Will
liam O. Allison, who is willing to con-
vey the same for such purpose, provid-
ed assurance can be given that said
memorial and plot will be properly
and permanently maintained"
The board agreed to accept the trust
and proceed with the work. 1t is to be
done in connection with the Bergen
County Historical Society.
C. V. r. BOgert, chairman of a spe-
cial committee of the Historical So
ciety, and Mr. Miller, president of the
organization, personally appeared be-
fore the board and urged the accept
ance of the custodianship
Mr. Bogert stated that about $4,000
had been collected at Camp Merritt to-
ward, the erection of such monument,
which money was now in the hands of
the officers at the camp. This money,
he said, will probably be' doubled when
turned over to the freeholders as Gus
todians. The immediate action by the
freehOlderS, he continued, was made
necessary by reason of the probable
early closing of the camp, in which
event all moneys then on hand must
be turned over to the government at
Washington.
1t was stated that $4,000 might COW
er the cost of construction, although
no definite figure had been fixed upon.
This money may be raised by popu-
i"i subscription VI ny appropriation
of the Board of Freeholders.
Freebooter Roberts took exception
to the last mentioned proposal and
said the board had no funds to ap-
propriate for that purpose.
The matter, as it now stands, is left
in the hands of the committees to de-
| termine the cost of the memorial and
as to how the funds, in addition to
that already collected. are to be raised

ing were no more entitled to state aid
than persons engaged in any other
line of business. | am glad to be af-
forded this public opportunity of
answering all such criticisms. The
state does not make its appropra-
tons for Agriculture for the pecuniary
benefit of persons who are now en-
gagged in the farming industry. The
object of the state is to make farm
ing so attractive as to hold upon the
farms the boys who are born there
and also to induce boys who are born
in the cities and towns of the state
to accept farming as their life occu-
patton. The state proposes to con-
tinue to develop agriculture up to the
point that it offers as great an op-
portunty for a career to all young
men as any other business or profess
sion in which they might engage.
That farm production has increased
while farm acreage has decreased in
recent years has been due to state aid.
The state provides an experiment sta
ton, farm demonstration and other
scientific methods to increase produc-
ton.
l want to say to you here and now,
that the state is well satisfied with
the work of it's three agricultural
agencies, and as one who has been as
ISOLATED with the administration of
state affairs for the past three years,
| am satisfied that increased appro-
priations for agriculture will result in
such dividends, to the people as will
be entirely satisfactory to them.

TREATY OF PARIS, 1893
Required

cross the Atlantic and attack the
shores of Spain. AS soon as it be-
came evident that the purpose was
reality and not bluff other European
powers put diplomatic pressure" on
Spain TO end the war. The prospect of
American guns awaking he echoes of
European hills was not looked forward
to in 1898 with the eager pleasure that
1t was anticipated by some nations a
year and half ago. Spain did not
need much urging, and on July % the
Spanish minister of state transmitted
through the French ambassador at
Washington letter to President Nc
kinley asking for peace This letter
reached the president on July 26. and
four days later the secretary of state.
Mr.. Day, replied, stating the terms
upon which an armiStice would be con-
Guided. They were: The evacuation
of Cuba by Spain and the relinuuish-
ment of all claims of sovereignty over
that island; the cessiOn of Porto Rico
and all other Spanish West Indian
islands to the United States; the ces-
sion to the United States of an island
in the Ladrones to be selected by the
United States, and the occupation by
the United States of the city and bay
of Manila pending treaty of peace
which should determine the disposition
of the Philippines.
On August II M. Jules Cambon. the
French ambassador, signed on behalf
Of Spain the protocol, or terms of
armistice, in which were embodied not
only the demands stated but three 9th
er articles providing for the method of
eyacuating Cuba and Porto Rico. Fight
ing stopped. 1t was arranged that
peace delegates should meet at Paris
in October. Mr.. Day resigned his
office as secretary of state in order to
accept an appointment as first dele
gate. The other delegates We're Sena-
tors Davis Of Minnesota and FRYE of

York. Spain sent like delegation.
Philippines Stumbling Block.
The principal stumbling block was
reached when the commissioners came
to consider the Philippines. Having
taken them and destroyed the only
government in the islands the United
States could hardly go away and leave
them loose in the world, as it were.
Other nations had envious eyes on
them and stood ready TO grasp the
fruits of American success. Spain re-
fused TO give them up and threatened
to break off negotiations. The United
States made the cession of the islands
an ultimatum and, running true to
form" in paying cash for what she had
already obtained by conquest, offered
Spain twenty million dollars if she
gave them up. Spain yielded and the
treaty was signed on December TO-
Palisadian. [volume] (Cliffside Park, N.J.) 1906-current, 1919-08-09

After all, 1t took four months after
che signing of the armistice to sign
treaty with Spain after the Spanish
war. And that was comparatively
simple affair with only two nations IN
volved. The protocol, or amistice,
was signed on August y, 1898, ana
the treaty signed on December IL
four months lacking two days from
the ceasing of hostilities. The treaty
was not ratified by the senate until
April II of 1899. So, theoretically, we
were at war with Spain for year
lacking few days, although actual mil
1tary operations did not last many
days over three months.
The principal events of the Spanish
American war most people remember.
War was declared by Spain on April
"a and by the United States on April
Rs. There was a curious little exhi-
bition of "Castilian pride" about that.
Spain learned on April "a that the
United States was going to declare war
the next day and promptly declared it
herself. Another interesting point is
that the United States began the
blockade Of part only of the Cuban
coast at first and began it two days
before Spain declared war and three
days before we declared it. And the
American proclamation of war was
made retroactive to April q. Dewey
entered Manila bay May and de-
stroyed the Spanish fleet there.
Cervera's fleet got into Santiago on
May 10, where it was bottled up by
the fleet under Sampson and Schley-
Sampson being senior officer. The
American expedition landed at Dali
quiri June 20-22, and the battles Of Ell
Caney and San Juan Hill took place
on July 1-2. On July 3 the Spanish
fleet attempted to escape and was de-
stroyed in the naval battle of Santi-
ago Santiago surrendered on July
II and the campaign in Porto Rico be-
gan on July %, and was in progress at
the signing of the armistice. Manila
was captured on August 10, the day
after the protocol was signed. Ma
Mia had been practically at the mercy
ing on which Dewey destroyed the
Spanish feet. 1t had been only n
question of getting American troops
there to occupy the place in sufficient
force.
Spain Was Sulen.
SPANS attempt to stand against the
power of the United States had every
where resulted in disaster to the Span
fish arms Her fleets had been swept
from the seas and her colonial posses
sions were in American hands. She
could carry on no more war overseas,
but threatened to sit sullenly at home
and defy the United States STILL But
after the battle of Santiago the Unit
ed States began preparing fleet to

Edwards Goes After
Nugent on Proh'n',
Says He's Agin It

Long Branch, Aug. 7.-Senator Ed
ward l. Edwards, Democratic guberna-
torial aspirant, in an address today be-
lore the Wholesale Liquor Dealers As
Soclatlon, declared that New Jersey
mas concurrent powers with the federal
government in the matter of prohibit
ton enforcement, and that if he is
elected governor he would refuse to
sign any legislative proposition con-
curing in the federal amendment
which did not record what he believed
to be the desires of the people of the
state.
He declared that if the Eighteenth
amendment, now a part of the Consti-
tuition, was upheld by the United
States supreme court the matter of
putting it into operation was reserved
to the people of states.
"My visits to the various counties of
this state coupled with the numerous
responses of cooperation l have re-
ceived fill me with an assurance of
victory at the primaries and success
in November My stand on the vital
issues of this campaign are so well
known that their repetition may be
tiresome. Because of the fact, how
ever, that one of the candidates in the
Democratic primary seems to have at
tempted to monopoliZe the prohibition
issue and has based his candidacy up
on the fact that the Democratic as
pirantS for nomination have failed TO
state unequivocally their positions on
this particular measure, | hope l may
be pardoned for reiterating it.
'As far as | am concerned, the
whole state of New Jersey knows my
record. 1t is written in the record OF
the state senate as one of the nine
senators who opposed the ratification
of the Eighteenth amendment. 1t is
known by the people of my county and
every other county that l have visited.
1t is found in every public utterance
and statement l have made during
my contest for the Democratic noml-
nation. Any one who can read the
English language knows that | am OPP
posed not only to the spirit of prohibi-
ton, but also to the methods OF I'M
democratic propaganda universally in
cident to its enactment.
"The stand l took against prohibi-
ton as recorded by my vote against
prohibition / will also firmly take
against prohibition and it's un-Ameri-
can tendencies while | am in the gov
ernor's chair and when l shall have
the power to pass upon, by use of the
veto of the legislation arising from
New jerseys duty to take concurrent
action with that of Congress. l APP
preciate the responsibility that l am
undertaking in leading this fight and
l do not underestimate the Influence
that will be brought to bear on both
legislature and governor. My first
action, therefore, should l be elected
governor, will be to a5p ociate myself
and the attorney general with the best
legal brains in the United States, to
advise me how best the sovereignty
of New Jersey may be protected from
the effect of unconsented-to sumptu-
airy legislation"

FAMOUS
PEACE TREATIES
BY H. IRVING KING
TREATY OF ST. PETERSBURG, 1772.

BY II. IRVING KING
s1s. by the Mcclure News paper syndicate-)

Poland, having been taken off the
map by a treaty, is now to be put
back again by another treaty. In the
latter part of the fourteenth century
Poland was the dominant power in east
ern Europe. Her dominion extended
from the Baltic to the Dnieper and
pressed down upon Austria to the
south, while Red Russia, White Rus
sia, Black Russia and the Ukraine
were hers. Prussia was a little state
huddled up in a corner on the Baltic,
and surrounded on the other sides by
Poland. Courland and Livonia were
Polish provinces. The Prussians or
Borussians, were an idolatrous tribe
who INDUCED in human sacrifices and
Poland called in the Teutonic knights
to subdue them.
The Teutonic knights subdued the
Borussians, but they turned Prussia
into a militant little state which be-
gan at once wars to increase it's ter
ritory. A Hohenzollern had himself
elected head of the Teutonic knights
and thus began the house of Hohen-
zollern, and that power destined to
have such large share in the down
fall of Poland and to be such men
ace to the world, sprung from race
of savages led by an adventurer.
AS late as 1868, when the American
colonies were already settled common
wealths, Poland was so powerful that
her king, John Sobieslki, marching with
Polish army, relieved the siege of
Vienna and saved Europe from being
Overrun by the Turk.
Dynasty Came to an End.
With the death of Sigismund Angus
tus in 1872, the dynasty of the old
kings came to an end and Poland
adopted a system of elective kings, and
new constitution which worked out
badly and contributed to the downfall
of the nation. The Polish diet elected
the king. 1t consisted of a chamber
of peers and house of representa-
tiveS of the lesser mobiles. The diet
sat only six weeks each year and its
decisions were obliged to be unani-
nous to be effective. Also there was
a recognized right Of any mobiles con-
federating together to enforce their
will by the power of arms. Naturally
the result was discord and sometimes
civil war. Russia, the growing Prus-
STA and Austria fostered these internal
disagreements with hungry looks on
Polish territory.
A large number of Germans found
