OLD BRIDGE HAS AN
elevation OF 95 FEET

Ar inquiry has come into the
EVENING NEWS Office as 20 the
elevation of Old Bridge. According
to data gotten from a United States
Geological Survey Map there is a
bench mark just a short distance
west of the town which indicates an
elevation of 95 feet. This can be
taken as the altitude, for the close
of the contour lines show a
sharp rise through the village from
ten feet at the edge of the river to
a hundred feet just north of the
town. To anyone interested inlook-
ing up this old bench mark it may
be said that it is on a knoll some
three hundred feet or so west Of the
village.

In Spite Of His Prejudice the Sioux
Leader | las Appealed to a
Divorce Court

hunbly bows to the inevitable and
submits to what he calls another
injustice.
He commented upon the fact that
his own father and mother had
separated and that as a baby he
spent part Of his time with one
parent and then with the other, and
no court was called upon to settle
any of their domestic troubles. He
could hardly picture his own father
or any CT the other great chiefs of
his tribe meekly sitting in a court.
as he himself will have to do, and
hear the judge read from his petit
ton that his wife, a mere 100-pound
squaw, became drunk and got very
abusive to the plaintiff, and without
any provocation she attacked the
plaintiff and punched him in the
ribs, pulled out handfuls of his hair,
hit him on the chest, hit him on
top of the head with washboard;
that she ripped the plaintiffs silk
shirt from his back and tore his
clothes in shreds, and that as a re-
suit of said attack the plaintiff suf-
fered from sprained ribs and cuts
upon his body and was for a period
of nearly two months unable to do
any work at ALL"
Surely the Indian has fallen into
the white mans ways and his squaw
has profted by the example of her
white sister.

sailor. The story is told that one
time when, then but a prince, he
was in command of a destroyer, his
father wrote to the commanding
officer Of the port for permission
for George to spend a few days with
him in the country. The permission
was granted, and when the officer
told George he was to go on leave he
said:
An Expert Pistol Shot
what will happen to my ship
while am away"
"Oh," said he, "it will stay at
anchor here"
"Then,' said George, 81 will not
take the leave"
The Kings devotion to things he
undertakes personally is a strong
characteristic. For instance, as a
salmon fisher he is excelled by few.
He goes salmon fishing in Scotland
every year and is rated with Lord
Grey as an angler. The King as a
pistol shot has only three peers in
England. Englishmen say he is
probably one of the best pistol shots
in the world. Grouse and pheasant
shooting is his favorite sport. He
goes to Sandringham soon after the
season opens in August and spends
many days on his ranges there. He
takes great care Of the birds on his
estate there.

American Troops
In the Big War

"HE United States made the
third largest contribution
in fighting forces during
the war, namely, approx
mately 100000 men, according to
figures compiled by British Stats
ticians. France headed the list,
while Great Britain came second,
with grand total of s,654,467.
The ration strength of the Ameri-
can army in France on Armistice Day
that is, the total number of men
who were being fed from army
stocks-is placed at 1,924,O00 while
Great Britain's ration strength in
this theater on the same date was
1,731,578. This does not take into
account prisoners of war or the ne
gro labor employed by England.
Americas combatant strength in
France on Armistice day is set down
at 100000 and Great Britain's at
1,164,79o. The combatant strength
includes all troops whose functions
are, in the first place, fighting.
The captures of prisoners and
guns in France during the victorious
offensive against the German army
between July Is and November IL,
1918, are given as follows:
British armies, 100000 and 2,540,
respectively; French armies, 1885,
720 and 1880; American armies, a.
800 and 1921; Belgian armies, A.
500 and 474. 1t is pointed out that
in addition to the above there were
$4,000 British combatant troops in
Italy, who cooperated in the final
defeat of the Austrian army at Wit
torio-Veneto, capturing 10000 pris-
eners, and that in the Eastern thea
tiers of war, Palestine and Mesopo-
taria, where about 100000 British
troops, on an average, throughout
1918 were fighting, the complete de-
feat and destruction of the Turkish
army was effected by the British
alone, and total of IS, GOO prisoners
taken.

his own story directly to President
Taft. Through his own efforts the
President issued him a patent deed
to a section of land and with it
gave him full citizenship in the Re-
public.
Standing Bear admits that he has
acquired many of the shortcomings
Of the white men, and says he has
the American desire to accumulate
dollars.

says the chief, II now want many
clothes, things to eat that / do not
need, and / am after money, money
all the time"
Soap is one of the things the chief
says was brought to his people, and
illustrates the white mans desire to
cheat his neighbor better than any,
thing in common use. "Soap is dirty
fat" he says, "and yet when they
sell it to you it smells good, sweet
and clean; but it's dirty, just the
same. 1t makes sore heads. 1t is
one of the things that has made the
whole world want to fight"
Doesn't Believe in Divorce
Directly touching his pending
court case Standing Bear has little
or nothing to say, except he
links it is wrong that to settle
ones private affairs it is necessary
to appeal to any court or any per-
son. He thinks marriage is a con-
tract that should be broken by the
parties concerned with no outside
interference. The white mans
method takes too long, he says, and
has the added inconvenience of ne

rights and privileges Of citizenship.
This came about when he was made
freebooter, in 1912, when he was
granted ownership of section of
Indian land. The story of his rise
to citizenship forms an interesting
chapter in this remarkable mans
history, for the reason that it fully
illustrates the character of the man,
After many months Of study and
an experience of being denied the

Some few weeks ago the King was
reported to be on the point Of CIV
ing up his stable in the interest of
economy. but on second thought he
decided it would have bad effect.
England must encourage the great
national institution in which she
excels-the breeding of thorough
bred horses and cattle. In this con-
nection the King must be mentioned
as probably the biggest farmer in
England. His shorthorn cattle are
famous, and he loves to spend hours
looking about his farms at Windsor
and Sandringham.
When He Wears Bowler
But the horse race the King really
enjoys is Newmarket. There he can
wear a bowler hat and go around
as any other man in the paddock
and stables chatting with his friends.
Because King George had been
trained in the navy many people
expected that aquatic sports would
be his favorite diversions. But such
is not the case. He owns yacht,
the Britannia, which will sail in the
races this year, and in the one at
Clyde the King will actually be on
board, and, according to rumor, sail
it himself, for he is perfectly COM
petent to do SO. He is a very good

read our history and not laugh over
such an incident as the dancing of
the people when London was burning
in 1866. You can also understand
how our soldiers gambled all night
until zero hour when they were to go
over the top in the morning. And
our King, because his chief job is to
encourage national life, must be
good sportsman. 1t is his business
to be interested in all sports, ana
fortunate and happy for him if he
loves some one sport. And by this
standard George V does not fail. He
is sportsman, and has two sports
that he personally loves and excels
in"
Held Court at Ascot
The King shows his interest in
horseracing by holding court at
horse race-at Ascot. Just as the
judges of the Appellate Division of
the Supreme Court in upper New
York must hold one session in the
County Of Saratoga because, it is
said, in the earlier days in the State
of New York they liked to go to the
races, so the King Of England holds
his court not in some neighboring
place at Ascot, but on the race
course. The King and his people
picnic together at Ascot. Queen
Anne had the course on Ascot Heath
constructed in I'LL, with an eye for
scenery as we'll as for testing place
for thoroughbreds. For two CEN
turtles the English public has shown
it's approval of the Queens choice.
Ascot is essentially women's meet
ing, for there the leaders Of fashion
make history by revealing their we'll
kept secrets.
On the opening day at Ascot the
King and Queen drove down the
course in state. They motored
through the great park Of Wind
sor to the approach Of the course
and there took the royal car
riages. Eight carriages made UP
the procession, the first being drawn
by four grays and the remainder by
four bright bays, for which the royal
stud is so famous. In the first car
riage rode the King and Queen with
Prince Albert, now Duke Of York,
