DO YOU KNOW THAT OIL POL

z AXE hObb1 W. % VT ION
Disasterious results of sewage and
oil pollutions to fish life in New Jer-
sey's salt and fresh waters was
brought to the attention of Secretary
Herbert Hoover, of the Department
of Commerce, at conference called
in Washington, a few days ago, to
discuss this growing menace to health
and to the public food supply. Oil
waste pumped from steamers off the
coast and factory pollutions poured
into inland streams were shown to
have deadly effect upon food fish,
The New Jersey Fish & Game COM
mission was represented at the con-
ference by Congressman AMOS H.
Radcliffe, of Paterson, a member Of
the comrniss:t,l and Protector James
VI Ctratton, Of Long Branch.
Alarming damage to the fishing in
dustry from the careless operation of
oil-burning steamers and tankers was
reported to The conference. In clean
ing their tanks, many steamships
dump the oil just outside the three
mile limit, and floating, it is driven
ashore by tide and wind. 1t frequently
becomes so offensive as to stop beach
bathing at North Jersey coast resorts,
driving the big schools of fish seaward
while fishermen report that it is
out of reach of the shore fisheries
and anglers. Floating into the shallow
waters, the. same oil kills millions of
yorng fish and left as a deposit by
the recedinge tide, was SHOWN to be
Destroying alsc slan and oyster life
y single instance of the far-reach-
irg effect OF fresh water pollution
reported by Commissioner Radcliffe,
is the almost total annihilation of the
shad industry in the Delaware river
and bay. In other streams, such as
the Maurice river, where pollution
has been stopped, the shad are coming
back in large numbers.
1t is sincerely hoped that relief will
be given the Jersey Coast.

Grover Cleveland Bergdoll, Grimm
al slackr and sneak of the lowest
type, born of women whose Ian
gauge, even before a Senate inves-
tigating committee, is worse than the
vile vomitings of the scum of a slum's
gutter, is a pusilanimous mouse that
has evidently terrified the majestic
government of the United States. m
The United States is maintaining
an army in Germany. For what, we do
not know. Certain it is that if there
ever was a duty an army should per-
form, it is the apprehension of this
contemplated reviler of heroism and
by-word of patriotism. But when two
patriotic members of that army at
tempted to arrest .Bergdoll in Ger
many, they were arrested by German
tried by German court and con-
tried by a Gerfan court and con-
victed to prison, WITHOUT. THE
UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT
RAISING ONE WORD IN PRO
TEST. =..=..-. a..... #.,.. .s..
The American. Legion vehemently
protested, and so insistent were its
members, demands were afterward
made on the German Officials that
caused the release of the two Amer
lean soldiers. -..... ..... ...., So.
In the meantime Bergdoll sneers
at the United States Government with
his thumb on his nose A pitiful, fu-
tile move was made in confiscating
his property in the United States. 1t
is as ludicrous as a small boy chas-
ing rabbit, and peevishly stopping
up the rabbits burrow when it. goes
into hiding in another field.
Canada. bcause Bergdoll secured
his passport in that country on false
affidavits, are endeavoring to have
him returned. But the United States
does nothing. za9e
In the meantime we are maintain
ing an army at great expense in Ger
many. Is the United States Govern
ment afraid to take matters in their
own hands and send soldiers to, ar
rest Bergdoll if Germany refuses to
give him up? ..-.u7f2
The following statement by the
"White Paper Club" of Chicago is
significant: -5r.a
"The Bergdoll case is an affront to
every good American 1t belittles the
patriotic services of all American men
and women in the world war. It has
left the power of the United States
open to ridicule, disrespect and con-
tempt on the part of the foreign born.
Its continuation in its present status
weakens faith in American institu-
tions and lessons confidence in the
American government. Bergdoll should
be demanded of Germany and placed
in the penitentary to which he was
sentenced" .s.a-.r ~

But the good Providence Who takes

Then calm set in and we had to
wait for breeze to come up. All we
had for entertainment and edification
was belated copy Of the New Hope
News which the friendly Postmaster
(like o. Hereford's friendly cow had
given US. We read the editorial col
un1n first, out of Difference to our
friend the editor. Next we did the
notorious GEE SEE Column, as a
sort of relish in our menu. Sometimes
it is ram, and once and awhile, (or is
it once III awhile) indigestable, and a
trifle, a mere ttifle, to be sure, un-

alIusions made therein. But this is &

will do that when we are not feeling

Then we read the jokes and helpful
hints. The Ads. came next, and say, |
what's the matter with your Commun-
ity, know there are more merchants
and business men in the region than
appear in your paper, are they afraid |
to advertise? We know who read !

know where we shall shop when we
come to, Lanlbertyille, and New Hope.

After we had made considerable of
the advertisements some one sugges-

we are on a vacation, and therefore
current news does not interest us,
but nevertheless, it was as good as
weekly review, those new items in
the paper In a very short time we
knew all that was important IN the
Worlds affairs for the week.
The wind came up just as we began
reading the local items. Of course
we left those until the last, as they
were the most interesting to me and
to the others of the party, the least
because they had never been to New

a retired captain, and we left the
paper in it, in the hope that it might
prove equally interesting to some one
else becalmed on Barnegat Bay.
