folk a man other than the master re-
ported the vessel had lost both an
chors and asked to be reported to
the owners. Two days later the YES
sci was found on the beach in a con-
dition "such as that there is every
suspicion of foul play having oc-
Cured"

passed the lightship a steamer the
name of which has not been ascer-
tanned passed the light ship and was
asked to stop and take message for

PAY TRIBUTE TO FALLEN
WAR HEROES; BIG PARADE
(Continued from page y


The Camp Raritan contingent,
which included in its group an ord

the work of this department, were
the guests of the four veteran or
CARNATIONS of the city at dinner in

the members of the Woman's Aux
iliary of the American Legion. The
Army and Navy Union. following the
parade, were the guests of John
Clark at a banquet in the Madison
Hotel.
The concerted work of the organ
izations here yesterday is extremely
gratifying to the members of all the
groups and manifests the strength
of these bodies when they group to-
gether for a single purpose. The
committee in charge of the Decora-
ton Day plans consisted of Elmer
Larson of the American Legion, as
general chairman; David Lucas of
the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Will
liam Wilhelm of the G.. A. Re- and
Edward Sorenson of the Army and
Navy Union. Harry BerkowitZ, Le-
gionaire and chairman of the wagon
committee, carried out very laudable
work procuring and arranging the
large number of trucks.
Special services were held for sail
ors who died during the service and a
very impressive ceremony was held

Holger Holm, a member of the

ion very efficiently acted as grand

The greatest danger today is not
in the Vaccinations of hidden
bands of agitators, but the spirit
of lawlessness abroad in the United
States said Rev. Wilbert Westcott
in a patriotic address to the G. A.
r. in the Simpson Memorial church
on Sunday night.
Basic principles of American
Life" was the subject of the ad-
dress. and among the principles
which have made possible American
greatness given by Mr.. Westcott in
.cluded the solution by Americans of
the proper relation between liberty
and law; the achievement of ma
tional honor without selfshness,
and the widest possible personal
liberty hedged in with wise and
laws.
Characterizing prosperity as the
breeder of lawlessness, the speaker
made a plea for the observance of
the statutes. calling attention to
the duty of loyal Americans to obey
the laws. whether or not they be-
lieve in them, and pointing out the
fact that while few nations have
been so blessed as the United States,
history proves that misuse of lib
erty as a result of prosperity caused
the downfall of the ancient empires
of the world.
