Bradley Beach. ". j.. June 15.-
City Commissioners Of Bradley Reach
are continuing TO carry ont their orig
inal plans for the betterment of the re =
sort. in spite of the action OF taxpayers
IN rejecting the proposal for the pur-
chase and municipal control Of the
beachfront.
The spirit Of the municipal authori.
ties Is reflected In the wonderful de :
velopment Of the resorts real estate
field. Bradley Beach has enjoyed a
big development boom during the win
ter and spring. City dwcllers in large
numbers have deserted their apartments
for the more open life in the Bradley
Beach cottage section, and this has in :
creased notably the demand for year
round homes. New cottages are being
erected on every hand. and real estate
operators are leasing virtually every
cottage that is available.
Improvements submitted TO the City
Board by Commissioner Bernard V.
Poland include addition to the school
building, new library building. beach
front improvements. paved Ocean ave-
nue. boulevard. ornamental main street
lighting, municipal Fairgrounds. tennis
courts. athletic field. community build
ing, removal of all overhead wires, drive.

p. S. DU POINT SAYS MUNITION
MAKERS DO NOT WANT WAR

Portrayal of munition makers as
sinister individuals, having a deep
hatred for peace and doing all in their
power to fan the flame of distrust
between nations" is denounced as a
popular miscOnception" by Pierre s.
du POnt in an article in the current
issue of the Nations Business, pub
lished by the Chamber of Commerce
of the United States. The article is a
defense of the munitiOn makers.
Mr.. du POnt, who points out that
E. 1. du POnt de Nemours & Co.. of
which he is chairman of the board.
has furnished great part of the ex-
plosives used in all the wars of the
United States, asserts that his COM
pany has attained it's present position
not because of, but in spite of the
wars it has helped to fight.
He takes occasion to point out that
"in war times, prices of most ma
terials mount skyward. This is true
particularly of foodstuffs, clothing.
and many articles that go into the
equipment of the fighting man. Manu-
facturers of such products are given
an immense and immediate profit at
soaring prices. Yet manufacturers of
these commodities are not accused of
promoting war for the selfish DUR
pose of increasing prices"
Mr.. du Pont paints a gloomy pic
ture of the financial life of the muni-
tiOn maker and points to instances
where after a war some munition
makers are bankrupt, but at the same
time makes it plain that if it were not
for the munition maker there could
be no war or rather any nation with
out them would be helpless.
"It is probable" he says, that few
munition makers gained much f.
from their operations. In
The case Of the du Pont Company, tax
rs paid to the United States during
he recent war not only absorbed the
entire profit of the company on pow
Ter sold to our government, but in ad-
lition wiped out all the profit made
IN these powders during the preceding
wenty years."

Charles V. vickrey our feiiow citizens
in the Near East,
are volunteers serving with a high
purpose, and they do not recognize
hardship when they meet It,
They have had their opportunity to
withdraw with honor from the field of
famine and desolation. They have re-
fused to leave, because they know that
their departure would mean death for
tens Of thousands Of women and chill
dren whom their efforts have kept
alive and whom they are determined
to save for better future.
A dozen cables are on my desk from
various centers in Armenia, Anatolia,
Cilicia and Syria pleading piteously
for the lives of hundreds Of thousands
who are homeless: "Sixty-fve thou
sand refugees Constantinople alone :"
Refugees focking into Aleppo;"
Twenty thousand refugees at Ismid !"
Zone hundred thousand people at
Alexandropol will starve unless relief
is provided" Refugees arriving from
Caucasus, escaping persecution, naked,
destitute! Urgent need to save most
of them from death y 1.-TWO hundred
thousand starving between Kars and
Alexandropol! Severe winter adding
to Distress"
Above all towers the mute appeal Of
the more than 100000 little children,
orphaned, homeless, whom these Amer
lean relief workers have saved and
whom we here at home must sustain
not only through the winter and
spring, but through the summer and
autumn as WELL If we do not provide,
they perish And with them dies the
hope of New Near East
The Easter season is here--the sea-
son that commentaries the Great Sac
rifice for mankind. America is known
as Christian nation She is also the
wealthiest nation that history has ever
known.
Can we really enjoy our wealth and
claim the name Of Christian if we turn
a deaf ear to the appeal which General
Leonard Wood in behalf of the Near
East Relief. has sent forth broadcast
for Lenten Sacrifice Offering to save
these little children in Bible Lands?
