they had lost most of their tents and
baggage, that many of them were
without shoes and badly in need of
blankets and proper clothing. In this
destitute condition why should not the
patriotic people shelter and provide
for as many as they could accomo-
date? 1t seems most natural to be-
lieve that all of these stories are true,
and that many men were thus saved
to the army.
There being no telephones or tele-
graph in that day the hills were used
as signal stations. Bowman's Hill and
Jerico were used in this capacity.
Thus Newtown, New Hope and the
forces down the river were kept in
touch by signals flashed from these
hills.
From exposure as well as disease
several soldiers died during the en-
campment here. These found rest
ing place down the river. The little
row of stones can be seen yet. More
prominent than the others, is that
marking the grave of Captain James
Moore of New York, who died of camp
fever in the Thomson house on Christ
mas day.
On Christmas camp was broken
and the little army $500 strong march
ed down to McConkey's Ferry, now
Taylorsville, where they were to cross
over. The boats from all along the
river had been gathered in wooded
cove behind Malta Island, just below
Coryell's Ferry, now New Hope. These
were quietly dropped down the river
and ferried the little army across to
fight the most important battle of the
war for independence.

Doylestown show that one, Thomas
Bowman was associated with John
Pidcock while he owned the property

cords of such an individual as DR..

a more or iGss Conspicuous FACTOR ana
part?
In speech on "Americanism and
National Defense" at Chicago, Octo-
Der 26, 1916, Theodore Roosevelt said:
More harm has been done to the
navy by the politicians in power dur
ing the last three years than in the
preceding thirty. Whatever good has
been accomplished in the navy during
the last three years has been done by
naval officers, who, in most cases, have
been snubbed and punished for their
proposals as long as 1t was safe to do
claims credit for what was thus forced
upon him.
in short, throughout President Will
sons term there has been neglect or
positive maladministratlon In connec-
ton with departmental organization In
navy yards, aeronautics, mines and tor
pedoes, and in all other matters affect
ing the efficiency Of the fleet and the
enthusiasm of its officers and men.
. The activity and energy Of the
Navy Department under President Will
son has been primarily concentrated
upon schemes aimed at vote-getting or
, advertising"
This, then, is what Theodore Roose-
welt thought of the administration of
| the Department from which Franklin
D. Roosevelt, Democrat and exponent
OF wisconsin, fain would reach the
Vice Presidency and have progressives
Of 1912, followers of the real Roose-
welt, help to keep the Democratic par
I ty in power and make wisconsin en-
dure
1t is inconceiyable that any true fol-
lower of Theodore Roosevelt will
hearken to such preposterous appeal.

Blue Tea Pot Closes

PENNINGTON The Blue Tea Pot
Tea Room in the garden of the old
Howe Tract was closed yesterday by
Mrs. Harold Hart who has made it a
pleasant for hundreds of automo-
mobilists during the summer.
With the APPROACH of cold weather
Mrs. Hart believes patronage will not
be sufficient to support it. 1t is point
ed out, however, that the closing of
numerous road houses on account of
prohibition has created large de-
mand for the type of place Mrs. Hart

Pennington has
Civic Society

PENNINGTON On Monday night
there was mass meeting in the
school house here under the direction
of the Board of Trade to formulate
plans for civic improvement. The re-
suits fthe meeting was the organ
ization ofwhat is called the penn
ington Improvement Society,""
This organization is created for the
purpose ito buy, hold, transfer and
SELF properties in and around Penn
ington, whereby subsequent constru-
ctions may be conditioned to comply
with such standards as will benifit the
community. In order to meet these
ends stock was issued and sold for
$50. share. $4,000 of stock was SUBJ
scribe dat the meeting.
A Sales Committee was appointed
to continue these sales. The commit
tee is composed of Charles H. Mccoy,
Frank H. Lasher, William P. Howe,
Cassell R .Ruhlman and John w.
Ward. These men are all prominent
in business circles and are keenly in
terested in the civic betterment of the
city.
When representative of this pap
err talked to Mr.. George Scarboro, the
secretary of the Board of Trade, it
was explained that the immediate inn
pulse toward this organization was TO
prevent property being bought in and
around Pennington in large quantit-
les and sold of in small lots in "real-
ty booms" that would cause the erect
ion of undesirable houses. At present
Pennington is one of the most desir-
able suburban towns in this section of
New Jersey. With the exception of a
few properties built years ago the
average residence is above the aver
age of other towns of the same size.
1t is the desire of the Board of Trade
and the representative citizens of the
town to continue this standard.
A large farm or two hundred acres
in the mediate vicinity belonging to
an estate is to be sold thru legal chan
nels. This is being sought by real
development concern which plans
to divide the property into small lots
AS no condition can be placed on the
standard of buildings to be erected on
the property when sold in this way,

has secured an option on the proper

price of the property rto freeze out

have established.

1t is stated that soon after the
mine resumed operations the last
time 81 men were discharged in one
week because OF their inability to
make the regular scale on contract
work. These men, it is said, circu-
