comedy that gives you no alterna-

laugh is that most highly priced Of
all brands of amusement-a novelty.

WANT LINCOLN HIGHWAY
FIXED FOR BIG GAME

NEW BRUNSWICK, Oct. IS
With a view to relieving traffic con-
ditions in New Brunswick on the
day of\ the Yale-Princeton football
game when thousands of cars are
expected to pass through this city.
Secretary G. s. Atkinson, of the
Board of Trade, has taken up the
matter of opening the Lincoln High
way out French street for this big
game.
Secretary Atkinson has written to
Chairman George l.. Burton of the
State Highway Commission and Mr..
Burton has in turn referred the mat
ter to State Engineer Wasser with
the express request that Mr.. Wasser
cooperate to the fullest extent with
the trade board. The letter of Mr..
Atkinson to Chairman Burton fol-
lows:
"Hon. George l.. Burton, chairman.
Estate Highway Commission.
South River. n. J.
"Dear Mr.. Burton: AS o know
the Yale-Princeton football game
will take place at Princeton. Satur-
day, November 13, 1920. and the
amount of traffic that will pass
through from New York and other
eastern parts will be very large.
"If the section of the Lincoln
Highway just outside this city
should be closed for traffic at that
time 1t will make necessary a detour
over roads that are not in the best
OF condition.
eff it is possible for the c%ontrac-
tor building the section of road be-
tween Franklin Park and this city
to place 1t in shape temporarily for
traffic on or before the date of the
game, many thousand people would
he able to use the Lincoln Highway
direct to Princeton and it would
lessen the inconvenience that they
would otherwise be obliged to en-
dure in making the detour.
Il do not know whether anything
can be done in the way of making
the road passable temporarily, but
/ feel confident you will be glad to
take it up with the state engineer.
Thanking you for your attention
TO this matter. and awaiting your
reply, we are,
VERY truly yours.

Secretary"

A cable dispatch in one Of the
Jewish newspapers in the United
States states that the Polish govern
ment intends to colonize Jews in
Eastern Galicia.
The above news Is not surprising
to those who have lived in Poland in
the last few years. Incidentally, l
am the first Jew to whom this new
plan Of Polish diplomacy was COM
municated.
1t happened last summer. was
at that time arrested by the Polish
government and held imprisoned in
Cracow. Why? Not because Of hav-
ing stolen anything, or because Of
having made pogroms, or even for
plain swindling. My arrest was due
to the following circumstances: /
was at that time working on the staff
Of Jewish daily, "Die Zeit," a
Zionist progressive newspaper in
Cracow. My articles had been trans
lated for the use Of the Polish secret
service, and it appeared to the au-
thorities that they contained evidence
that l was harmful person, perhaps
a Bolshevik. This fact is important
in the understanding Of what fol-
lowed. The Polish government knew,
therefore, that was journalist. At
one time, it was the tenth occasion,
that l was again summoned to the
prison keepers office, and again the
same questions were put 10 me, which
had answered so many times, and
again the same answers were reduced
to writing, as before; but something
unusual happened this time. There
was high army officer present dur
ing my examination, who carefully
listened to all Of my answers. At
the conclusion Of the hearing and
after my dispositions were taken, the
officer began conversation with
me on the Jewish question generally.
Our conversation did not have an Of
fetal character, and no part Of 1t
was officially noted. As far as I
was concerned, was more Of a list
ener than talker. My position as
prisoner required caution on my part
so as to prevent word slipping out
which might be used against me, or
could be considered an insult to the
officer who Intercepted me. As a
matter Of fact, tn eofficer spoke SEN
sibly and without trace Of anti
Semitism. He declared that Polish
hatred OF the Jew was not the enmity
Of a race, but was due to economic
conditions. "There are too many
Jews in Poland, living in the cities
and towns Of the country and form
ing a majority Of the urban popula-
tion," he said. Such is the general
attitude Of the Polish quasi-liberal
who knows that anti-Semitism Is
something one ought to be ashamed
Of, but instead Of fighting against
anti-Semitism, he will make every ef'
fort to justify logically its existence
But after these preliminaries the Of
ficer made q statement which i'm
pressed me very strongly. He said
that there might be a possible solu'
ton Of the Jewish question in POLAND
by scattering the Jews among The
