ABOLISH THE cowARDLY SUBMARINE

The agreement entered into by the United States, Great
Britain and Japan regarding the great ~battleships whereby
the ratio Of 5-5-3 is maintained, and many of the vessels
now afloat or building are TO be s%crapped, is good as far as 1t
goes. The stumbling block seems TO be the submarines. And,
strange TO say, France is the country that is causing all the
trouble.
The submarine method Of warfare is as uncivilized as
the fighting methods of the sneaking savage crawling up
fpon his victim unaware ami striking him in the back.
France has made out a poor case in trying TO show that the
submarine is a weapon of defense. The war has shown the
undersea craft powerless when confronting an armed YES
sci. The only use for the submarine is to attack merchant
chips, and even then they are very leery of merchantmen
that are armed.
1t is plain that any nation that insists upon a large
fleet of submarines, or, in fact, any submarines at all, has
in mind the destroying of peaceful commerce. Any nation
that desires to use submarines must have designs similar to
that which sent The Lusitania with all its women and chill
dren, to the bottom.
.Xis a significant fact that of the millions of soldiers
thai Great Britain sent across the channel to France, not one
.<vas lost through the action of a submarine, although several
unarmed hospital ships carrying the wounded and helpless,
were torpedoed. Later the United Stetes sent 100000
men all the way across the Atlantic and although the subma-
rine lay in wait for them and did their best to destroy them,
not a man was lost through the action of the submarine.
The only victims of the undersea craft were the helpless
vessels that, in accordance with civilized warfare, were sup
posed to be immune. We had a striking illustration on our
own shore when the tug Perth Amboy towing a string of
barges up the coast was suddenly fired upon by one ofthese
cowardly undersea craft.
If the nations represented in Washington are 10 make
any progress toward disarmament and peace they ought,
without hesitation, to abolish the submarine altogether. It's
atype of vessel that can never be of commercial use; the war
has shown that it can never be effectual against real fighting
craft.

Some care and common
easily would avert most cases OF
accidental poisoning.
All poisonous medicines are so
labeled by the druggist or physi-
clan. If the user transfers a poison
from one bottle to another, he
should also transfer the label.
The top shelf of the medicine
cabinet is a good place TO keep pol
sons. Here they should be beyond
reach of children.
Most poison bottles nowadays are
provided with prickly shoppers SO
they may be identified in the dark.
But the best safeguard of all is TO
tie the cork in the bottle so that to
get it off requires light and a few
minutes time.
Delay in poisoning is usually dis
astrous. A DOCTOR should be sum-
moned Immediately but while await
ing his arrival, first aid should be
given.
Administration of an emetic is
the first thing to be done. Tickling
the throat with finger or feather or
drinking a large quantity of warm
water will usually induce vomiting.
In case of poisoning from zorro

What the relatively young United
States did in founding Washington
as its capital, and what the still

In creating its new capital city, Can

old India by building a new seat OF
government near Delhi" says a bull
letin issued by the National Geo.
graphic Society.
I'm Australia the new city is be-
ing carved from a practically UNI
touched wilderness; and in America
Washington was laid down where a
few freshly cleared farms were
hemmed in by wooded hills. In India
New Delhi is being built on ground
where cities have risen and passed
away, through the centuries and
about which are situated beautiful
and striking monuments of one OF
the worlds most powerful empires.
Legend says that from the dim
NEST past some sort of a capital
city, now of a local kingdom, now of
a far-flung empire, has existed at
Delhi. For a distance of more than
twelve miles south of the present
city and over an area several miles
wide are the remains of old wals;
and streets, forts n temples that
| dimly trace the sites of these once
p%opulous centers. Among the ruins
are the more enduring edifices set
up by emperors and princes to COM
memorate victories, to advance re-
ligion, or to serve as magnificent
places of interment.
Though legend makes Delhi a
place of importance from earliest
times, history takes no account of 1t
until about 1850 A. D., whensit was
the seat of a Hindu ruler, and from
that time onward was h capital OF
a Mohammedan Indian empire. Del
hi, in the days of the Mohammedan
conquest, lay to the south of the
present city, and there where the
new power was set up, the first Mo-
hammedan ruler, Kutb-ud-din, built
in celebration of his conquest a tow
of victory, the Kutb Minar, which
stands today and has been called
the most perfect tower in the
world
''Timur The Lame (Tamerlane),
the Tatar scourge of Asia toward the
end of the fourteenth century,
swooped down from the Sarmarkand
in 1898 and sacked Delhi; and in
1926 his flineal descendant, Baber,
took the Tatar hordes again into In
dia, captured the city, and founded
the Mogul empire, through the fame
of which Delhi is best known to wes-
tern ears. In 1888 Shah Jahan, the
Augustus of the Mogul Emperors
built the present Delhi to the north
of the old city and embellished II

CONSIDERING PERrH AMBoY's NEW STATION

Perth Amboy is to have a new railroad station. 1t
needs one bad enough and one is included in the plans for
the elimination of the grade crossings here.
The Evening News believes that the best interest of
The city can be served by having a union station erected in
The triangle where the Lehigh Valley freight station now
stands with approaches from both New Brunswick avenue
and Washington street. Railroad engineers who are planning
The elimination of the grade crossings say that such a loca-
ton is impossible. Nothing is impossible. The Evening
News believes that an expert city planner could show how it
could be done much to the advantage to all concerned.
IA union station so located could be used by all three of
e railroads now entering the city. It would mean the aban-
onment of the three or four different shacks that now serve
as railroad stations here and would concentrate passenger
traffic in the heart of the city easily accessible to all Sec
tions.
BY such concentration a larger and handsomer station
could be built and the combined business of three railroads
would present a scene of activity that would show the city in
its true light as a great railroad center. The Lehigh Valley
would have an opportunity to develop the high class subur-
ban territory that lies along its line to Metuchen and South
plainfeld and would be able to make Perth Amboy an i'm
portant transfer point for all its passengers from Fleming
ton, PhiIipsburg and Easton bound for the Jersey coast
resorts.
But whether a union station is erected or not, such a
station as erected must be in keeping with the size and i'm
portance of the city. No structure such as would grace the
average commuters. town will suffice. While Perth Amboy
has quite a large number of commuters to New York, they
are negligible when compared to the number of commuters
from other places. As a matter of fact, Perth Amboy has as
many, if not more, commuters coming here from neighbour
ing towns to work each day as it has local residents going to
New York.
This shows Perth Amboy the center of a metropolitan
district Of its own. The city is developing into a great in
dustrial seaport. 1t must have railroad facilities for passen-
gers as well as freight commensurate thereto.
The Evening News publishes today an illustration
showing the plans for the proposed new station at Asbury
Park. OF course, Asbury Park being a summer resort where
thousands Of excursionists are handled every day during the
summer months, the station platform is necessarily very
long. But as far as the building and waiting room and other
facilities are concerned, Perth Amboy ought to have even
greater accommodations if the new station here is to be at
all adequate for a few years hence.
This Asbury Park plan for a station gives Perth Amboy
an idea of what a modern station here ought to look like.
Before any final plan is adopted for Perth Amboy those rep
resenting the city in the negotiations now on with the
railroad companies should make absolutely sure that the
city il well provided for in the matter OF a new station.

Hard to Dry Up Brazil
Although the whole of South
America is gradually drifting toward
prohibition the w. c.. T.-U workers
do not look forward TO an easy or

they are inclined to fear that large
areas in South America will remain
wet for years to come. h size OF
the continent itself is a tremendous
handicap to their work. 1t required
long years of patient ~endeavor and
powerful organization to make the

Let us not too hastily assume
that any of the problems of life are
modern. For instance, there is
church attendance and the eigh-
tenth amendment.
Read this extract from the Auto
biography of Benjamin Franklin:
I'VE had for our chaplain a zeal
Presbyterian minister, Mr..
Beatty, who complained to me that
the men did not generally attend his
prayers and exhortations. When
they enlisted they were promised,
besides pay and provisions. a gill of
rum a day, which was punctually
served to them, half in the morning
and THE other half in the evening:
and / observed they were very pune
tual in attendance to receive It.
Upon which l said to Mr.. Beatty.
Tt is perhaps below the dignity OF
your profession to act as steward OF
the rum, but If you were to deal il
out, and only after prayers, you
would have them all about you
He liked the thought, undertook
the office, and with the help of a
few hands to out the liquor,
executed it to satisfaction; and
never were prayers more punctually
attended; SO that / thought this
method preferable to the punish.

for non-attendance on military
service"
That was one way of getting men
to attend religious services in the
days of our pious forefathers.
Jonathan Turner Baldwin, for
many years professor at Illinois
college, told in his diary and his
daughter published in his biogra-
ply, how the president of Yale
college in his day owned a bar and
was much opposed to the newer
regulations that prevented the stu
dents of that venerable institution
from drinking on the college prem
ises.
If the eighteenth amendment is
hard &c enforce, there were times
when it would have been impossible.
If men do not go to church as much
as they ought. there always have
been men who were careless about
their spiritual lives. II ministers are
sometimes hard put to it for
methods of attracting people to
their services, al least they do not
| dole out to each attentive worshiper
a half gill of rum.
Perhaps after all, we are not real
" worse than our fathers.

as we are, we average better than

Norway is not bone dry as
we are, although the prohibitlonlsI

ing to make it so. N~orwegians are

Norway has a ,coastline when Is
particularly favorable to smugglers.
IL you will look at the map, you VIII
see that it is perpetually broken and
irdented with small islands ranging
from several miles in area to the
nerest slab of rocky land. Accord
ing to one Norwegian there are gao
900 of them. 1t is a simple task for
smugglers to sneak in among these
islands. even in broad daylight, and
land their Illicit cargoes. Sometimes
when the smuggler feels that he is
being too strictly watched, he mere
" anchors his craft a fraction be-
ond the three mile limit and receives
his customers at his W private bar.
Besides its constant and futile
struggle with b~ootleggers the Nor

difficulty with the Spanish and Port
uguese governments on account OF
its embargo on beverages containing
n. ore than II per cent alcohol. The
Spanish and Portuguese nations, you

the Norwegians with most of their

the Norwegian's fish. Each nation

Because of its rich history as the

Delhi-not Calcutta, which was then
the capital-was chosen in 1877 as
the site of the Durbar, or gathering
