Six automobiles with school chill
dren, American Legion men and
members of the Legion Women's
Auxiliary started for Fox Hills this
noon to initiate the holiday festivi-
ties in the hospital there. Armed
with boxes of cheer for one ward
and entertainment for another. it is
certain that a portion of the wound
ed boys at least will realize that
they are not forgotten at Christmas
time.
The movement is the result of the
efforts of the American Legion hos
pitalization committee who have
learned the needs in the various
wards. Ward 10 has been adopted
by the local post as a result as be-
ing the one which has received but
little outside attention and this af-
ternoon each of the patients will
receive box containing many
things that will be particularly ac-
ceptable. Besides this a large num-
Der of piano rolls will be presented
to the boys, having been bought
with an unexpected donation from
the Perth Amboy Hardware Com
pany. and being. perhaps, what the
boys wish for most at this time.

will present to the boys of Ward "a,
Dickens Christmas Carol. besides
musical numbers and recitations.
The project. a novelty for tht hospi-
tai was highly lauded by the Off
cials at Fox Hills as being the first
contingent of children who have
offered to come for this purpose.
1t is thought that bringing the young
sters into the ward will do much 10
raise the spirits of the bed-ridden
fellows.
The Women's Auxiliary of the Le-
g.on is sharing the expenses of the
Christmas boxes with the post and
are responsible for getting up the
pao kages.
Through the generosity of some
LEGAL men, the trip has been made
possible. Cars were offered by
Thomas Burke, Alex Balint, Mad
sen. Isaac Alpern. Barney Strieff
and MAIDS Madsen.

wife destisete and unable to work
because OF two small children, was
brought to the attention of the po-
lice authorities this morning when
the woman appeareo before the re-

husband. With tears streaming down
her face she pleaded with the court
to free her husband. saying that she
had neither money. fuel nor food in
the house and had absolutely no
means of support.
The man has been confined in jail
for the past two days and when the
wife came 20 court this morning she
said she and her children had had no
breakfast. Recorder Pickersgill,
while visibly moved by the appeal.

to the fact that he bears reputa-

1922 TAX RATE
BOOST |SSEEN
While Nothing Official is Civ
en- Out, Indications Point
to That
COUNTY BUDGET ACTION
Will be Adopted by Board of
FreehoIderS Early Next
Month

NEW BRUNSWICK, Dec. Ell
While the county tax board refuses
to make any definite statement in
regard to the matter the tax rate is
expected to be higher for 1922, ac-
cording to current talk among Of
ficials and others who claim to
know. No definite conclusion can be
arrived at until the budget of the
Board of Freeholders is adopted in
the early part of January but the
concensus of opinion as expressed
here seems to indicate that the in
crease rumor will become a fact.
Officials of the county tax board
are reticent in discussing the matter
and refuse to commit themselves un-
til after the first of the year when
definite material will be available.
The Board of Freeholders will prob
ably approve the 1929 budget at the
regular meeting to be held tomor-
row afternoon and the next move on
the list will be the public hearing
for discussion of the budget as ap-
proved by the freeholders. Present
surmises as to the rumored increase
will also depend upon the tax books
that will come in from the various
municipalities after the first of the
year.
Indications also pcin- to a consid-
erable jump in property valuation
Throughout: the county. Reliable
sources Of information tentatively
quote the increase in ratables at
S10,000,000 and place the increase
for the city of Perth Amboy at ST.
100000. Although these figures do
not come from tax board officials

sonable orInion.
Prediction is also freely made here
that Perth Ambov may expect an
increase o. from 40 to so points in
its tax rate in spite CT the fact re-
ports from Perth Amboy are declar-
ed to say tkat there will be no rise.

OPPOSE VOTE
ON IRISH PACT
George G. Duffy Tells of Rea-
son for Signing Document
at London
HEART WITH OPPOSITION
But Reason is Against Those
Opposing it, He Declares
on Dali Floor

DUBLIN, Dec. 81 (By The Asso-
ciated Press) deposition 10 re-
ferring the treaty to the Irish cleo
torate was voiced by George Gavin
Duny, one of Its negotiators in his
argument for ratification of the
pact, delivered in this mornings ses-
sion OF the Dali Eireann.
He declared he opposed this
course because of the high feeling
plebiscite campaign would create.
Such a campaign, he asserted, would
effect the country from one end to
the other. He said he saw no, alter
native to the treaty and spoke as II
he expected its ratification.
The members of the Dali listened
with interest while he and Eamon j.
Dugan, also a member of the Lon
don delegation, ardently recommend
ed ratification.
Mr.. Duffy declared he requested
ratification reluctantly because the
signatures of the Irish delegates had
been forced under duress. Mr.. Du-
gan, on the other hand, denied that
he had been coerced into affixihs his
signature, declaring ''if the Irish
people cannot achieve freedom un-
der this treaty it will be the fault OF
the people and not of the treaty"
He declared the pact represented
the fruits of the sacrifices of all who
had died for Ireland. Every man
and woman here" he continued, is
entitled to go out and die for Ire
land, but none is entitled TO send
the Irish people TO death.
Duffy's speech indicated that he
assumed the treaty would be rati-
fed. He said ii would be the duty
of the trainers of the Irish constitu-
ton ito place the foreign king at
considerable distance from the Irish
people," adding:
The king symbolizes in himself
the just anger of the Irish people
for 750 years"
Duffy said the Dali must b. given
rational alternative to the treaty
before rejecting it.
MY heart is with those opposing
il. but my reason is against them,
he explained.
THE treaty" he declared, mus;
be ratified in the interest of the
people of ireland.
While insisting upon ratification
of the agreement, Dnffy reiterated
the declaration that Premier Lloyd
George had issued an ultimatum 70
the Irish plenipotentiaries requiring
them to sign the treaty under threat
of immediate hostilities. He termed
it a "monstrous iniouity" that the
delegates who had been invited un'
der the pre2lier's roof for discussion
/ of peaceful settlement which had
been given only three hours TO de
eide the question Of signing without
l the opportunity of consulting DUB
| lin.
Eamon ]. Duggan the last of tbs
Irish plenipotentiaries. TO speak il

"bluffed" into signing the treaty. He
said he had signed II in calm seclu-
sion and with due consideration &c
