AMERICANS ABROAD
IN RED CROSS WORK
United States Citizens Far Away
Enthusiastic Members of the
Fourteenth" Division.

Among the most enthusiastic and
energetic members Of the American
Red Cross are those citizens Of the
United States who live outside the
continental boundaries oatheir country
sons and daughters Of the Stars and
Stripes residing at the far corners Of
the earth.
These people compose the Insular
and Foreign Division of the parent Or
ganization, generally known as the
Fourteenth" Division, which has
Jurisdiction Of all territory outside
the country proper; that is, Alaska,
Porto Rico, Hawaii, Virgin Islands, the
Philippines, Guam, and even the is
land of Yap, which came under our
flag as result of the world war. For
the year 1920 this division reported
8O,SOS paid up members
The main object Of this division ia
to give our citizens everywhere the OPP
pOrtunity to participate In the work
Of the organization which stands for
the best national ideals. Americans
In far places intensely loyal and pa
triOtic, treasure their membership in
the Red Cross as the outward ex-
preston of their citizenship. 1t Is an
other tie to the homeland and to
each other. There are chapters of
this division in Argentine, Bolivia,
Brazil, Canal zone, Chile, China, Costa
RIGA, Cuba, Dominican Republic,
Ecuador, England, France, GUAM
Guatemala, Haiti, Hawaii, Honduras,
Japan, Manchurla, Netherlands, Mica
ragua, Paraguay, Peru, Philippines,
Porto Rico, Siberia, Spain, Sweden,
Switzerland, Syria, Turkey, Uruguay,
Venezuela and Virgin Islands.
During the war these scattered
members of the Red Cross contrib.
uted millions in money and millions
Of dollars worth Of necessary articles
for the men in service, and sent many
doctors and nurses to France. At the
same time they carried on an excel
lent Home Service In their respective
communities for the families Of those
who had gone to war, and in some re-
giOns gave large sums Of money and
Unreasonable personal service to the
relief Of disaster and disease victims
The division is now establishing !
service clubs in foreign ports for the
benefit of sailors in the American Mer-
chant Marine, making plans to aid
Americans In trouble in foreign lands
and completing arrangements for CIV
Ing immediate adequate relief In case
Of disaster.
It is the Fourteenth Divisions part
in the great Peace Time program Of
the American Red Cross.

BOOSTING THE SHIP CANAL.

,rb. nropossd New Jersey ship canal connect
ing Raritan bay with the Delaware river re-
seixed A. decided boost at the two hearings given
the proiect by the army engineers in New YORK
and Philadeiphia. The large attendance and the
unanimous expression of opinion cannot help
but carry considerable weight in favor OF the
work.
1ut III. greatest argument in favor of the
canal is the feasibility of the project. To man
like General Goethals. for instance, the builder
Of the Panama canal. the waterway across New
Jersey doubtless appears like childs play After
contending with all the obstacles that he had 10
encounter in crossing the isthmus, digging
ditch through the level sands of New Jersey Tor
n distance OF thirty-three miles must seem Ike
an easy task.
Not only is the construction OF the canal en-
trsly feasible but its usefulness is beyond aues-
tion. The amount OF shipping along the coast
warrants this inland waterway because OF the
shortnsss Of the trip. But more especially IL the
canal warranted because OF the great loss sus-
tanned every year by the outside route. As was
brought out at the hearing Thursday there were
$500 disasters on the Atlantic coast last year
with q loss OF 1000 lives and q cargo and ship
loss OF $4,000. 900. This loss for one year alone
would more than build the canal.
Those who attended the hearings from this
city were very optomistic to the outlook for
the construction OF this canal. 1t will take
several years to build even after the work has
been authorised. but 70 will 1t take Perth Amboy
several years to get ready to receive the bene-
fts that are bound to be derived from such
work.
Perth Amboy is naturally the terminal for the
canal on the Raritan bay aide and more than
ever this city will be in a. position to command
much ocean commerce. But we have got to have
the facilities to accommodate these things. While
the canal project is being pressed. therefore. 1t
behooves Perth Amboy to awake to the realiza-
tion Of what the canal will mean to this city. 1t
is not too early to start right now for the big
developments that are ahead.

MORE WATERWAY BOOSTING.

Another opportunity to boost the waterways
of this vicinity will be afforded when the Nation
al Rivers and Harbors Congress meets in WASH
ington December s, 8, and 10. There is nothing
that appeals to Perth Amboy like waterway de-
yelopment. Every opportunity ought to be en-
braced to urge the advantages Of building the
New Jersey ship canal and deepening the chan
mel in Raritan bay and river all the way from
Sandy Hook as far as New Brunswick.
Rivers and Harbors Congress declares that the
necessity for a great increase in our transpor-
tation facilities is immediate and urgent. The
congestion in railway freight in the past is point
ed out and motor trucks given full credit
for the part they have played in helping to re-
ieve the situation. but it is declared that water
ways can carry more trafic and do it at less
cost than any other form OF transportation"
The rivers and harbors congress advocates the
expenditure of 500, 100000 year for ten years
in creating a system of waterways and harbors
TO supplement the railroads and highways and
thereby completely solve the transportation
problem.
Waterway development is only beginning in
this country. We far behind Europe in this
regard. Waterways may never be able TO COM
pete with railroads for fast freight but for bulk
material and basic products. proper facilities by
water offer the solution that we are look
ing for. The government. however. has got TO
get over the pork barrel' method or handling
the matter.

With but one lone Democrat in the House and

Nugent had assayed into the realms of national
politics. he being one of the recognized leaders
who brought about the nomination of Cox at
San Francisco
1t has been realized that one of the greatest
handicaps the Democratic party has had to con-
tend with for long time has been the bossism
Of Jim Nugent. His blighting influence has
caused the Democrats many an humiliating de-
feat in the past. Woodrow Wilson was elected
governor in spite of him and during the Wilson
administration Nugent and politicians of his
stripe were relegated to their proper place. This
caused Nugent to make his now famous remark.
