Company for its grant of land for
the site and dwelt in touching terms
upon the significance of the event.
In similar terms were the remarks
of Mr.. Abel. Mr.. Mitchell and Mr..
McCombe, each in his W original
way bringing out some heretofore
unmentioned thought of beauty,
%solemnity or significance.
"Only too easy is it to forget"
said Rev. Father Strenski. land only
events like the present brought back
with a reinforced memory. the
thoughts of the terrible days and
nights of agony which the young
men of the country had gone

He urged that the memory of these
men be perpetuated, that their UNI
s~elfishness and self sacrifice be an
eternal source of inspiration and
courage for those who remain.
A glowing tribute was paid the To-
cal post of American Legion, named
as it is after the first New Jersey
boy to fall in action. The flag that
had covered the fountain up until
the time of the unwilling. was pre-
scented to the post as a memorial of
the occasion.
The fountain is of monumental
bronze. 1t stands over eight feet
high and is a work of art. 1t was
constructed by the N. N. Mott Com
pany of Trenton after an original
design. 1t stands in the station

the thrift and hard work of our people as al
whole Germany, he said, although defeated on
the field of battle, may after all win ON the field
of commerce through the efforts of her labor.
Himself self-made man, who went to the
top by hard work, Mr.. Schwab is an optimist who
believes that everything shapes itself ultimately
for the welfare of mankind. His soul has not
been soured He does not believe that every per-
son who does not agree with him is crook and
CRATER. He does not believe that conditions are
getting worse His heart radiates the good cheer
and happiness which always characterize big
man.
ct is impossible for me- he said, Ito be any
thing but optimist. To me the world is so
full of opportunity and promise and confidence
that / cannot look forward to anything but a
future of brilliance and abundance"
The attacks made on his integrity have not
filled his soul with the venom of hatred and dis
trust, but have strengthened him in the optim-
ism which has been characteristic of his career.
Fortunately for country, our leaders are men
of the type of Mr.. Schwab, and not acrimonio's-
prophets of despair, who see nothing but wicked
ness and ruin in the men and women of today
and the final collapse of the nation in the future
The constructive men of the Schwab type are the
builders of the nation Not enough honors can
be showered upon them for their splendid
achievements and for their wise policy of coun-
selling optimism and confidence.

Ripping RHYMES
BY WALT MASON
THE OLD NJ AN.

| met him often by the sea, a white
and wintry gent; his age was eighty
two or three, and he was frail and
bent. And still he talked of coming
days, and plans he had in view. as
though he meant to go his ways a cen
fury or two. He'd build house and
plant tree and take a motor trip,
and visit lands across The sea when he
could board ship. He was a blithe
and sprightly man, his spirit high and
hold; he would not be an also ran,
though he was passing old. One
halmy night he went to bed all full Of
nleasant schemes, and in the morning
he was ead-he'd checked out in his
dreams And I admire that fine old
Jay. his system wise appears-to act
as though you planned to stay on earth
hundred years. Too many think q;
they wax old that they have shot their
bolts, that plans and schemes they
shouldn't hold. since they're no longer
colts. And so they sit before the fire
and drool of bygone years, and by slow
inches they expire, with dotard signs
and tears. When I'm that old, I won't
admit I'm in the hss-been class, but
from my trusty Tyre I'll hit a noise like
sounding brass.

A Righteous and Unfailing Defense

In an address before the officers of the
American fleet, which he reviewed few days
ago, President Harding said that America wants
only that which is righteously her own, land by
the eternal we mean to have that" He added
that if other nations of the world were actuated
by the same motives "ths world would be at
peace forever, starting from today"
These two thoughts summarize the sentiment
of the nation on the topic of our military and
naval establishments. America has desire to
engage in an offensive warfare to add territory
or to gain concessions; but neither will she lend
herself to the abuse and attacks of a foreign
nation without resentment that will assert it
self in the best defense it's citizens put up.
If other nations took the same enlightened
view, there would be no need of big ornaments.
Peace would dwell on earth. But because they
do not do so, America must make ours "the most
efficient, conscientious and effective navy in the
world quoting the words of President Harding.
