BRINGING EN- TOGETHER

The trend of modern civilization has been to
draw closer the lines between individuals
everywhere. The mission that most public
services perform for people today is-to bring
them together.
The railways, the telephone, the telegraph,
the radio phone have put people in more im-
mediate touch with their fellow citizens--of.
the same city or three thousand miles away.
Much the same process has been going on in
the world of supply and demand. Advertising
is bridging the gap between buyers and sellers.
Here in Perth Amboy the most convenient
and serviceable connecting links between peo-
pie who have what you want to buy or want
what you have to sell is the News Classified
Section.
1t will keep you in close touch with daily OPP
portunities to save money and gain comfort
and satisfaction. Its fourscore and more al
phabetically arranged classifcations will meet
many of your needs.

DOSE OF HIS OWN MEDICINE
German Submarine Commander whs
Sank Lusitania Also Now at
Bottom OF Sea. l

The commander Of the German sub
marine that sank the Lusitania is now
at the bottom of the sea, according to
q story which has reached American
Legion headquarters. Flogged and
flung over the side OF a Paraguan war
vessel, he met death with a dose Of
his own medicine.
The story Is that the commander,
fleeing from allied justice, took. refuge
in. Paraguay, where he at once took
out naturalization papers and swors
allegiance to the Paraguan republic.
Friends in the shipping world secured
for him the command Of Paraguan
tman.o'-war, the Adolph Riquelmi. He
had hardly set his heel upon the decks
when he inaugurated the rules which
had been his custom. The crew, with
their Latin blood, could not stomach
the diet as the stolid Teutons had
done in the old days. So they passed
him around for a beating, and then
threw him into the sea. far from sight

SENDS NOTES FROM ALASKA
Historian Of ketehikan Legion Post
Writes In Answer to Letters
Of Sympathy.

$z "Please note following" the long
suffering historian of the Ketchikan
post Of the American Legion in Alas
ka has written in answer to many let
ters of sympathy from buddies back in
the States:
ST !. There isn't gold miner in the

2. The thermometer has never
dropped lower than five below.
8. The deepest snow in recent years
was three inches.
8 4. Some winters pass with practical
" no snow.

6. Raincoats and umbrellas are COM

2SS7. No one has even worn furs or
snowshoes to 4 post meeting.
g "Gold-fishing" is the principal In.
dustry.
9. No one reads by the northern
lights or the midnight sun.
The fact that people in Ketchikan
ride In automobiles, and that the only
dog sleds there are hot-dog sleds is
hard to get across, according to the
historian.

EASY COME, EASY GO

Back in 1912, when Mr.. Taft was
President, and when the gross ex-
penditures Of the government were
about one-quarter of what they are
now, he became exercised and con-
cerned about the higgledy- -piggledy, un-
scientific, disorderly, grab-bag methods
by which your money was expended
for public purposes. He said then
what is equally true now, that the
activities of the national government
'are almost as varied as those of the
entire business world. The operations
of the government affect the interest
Of every person living within the
Jurisdiction of the United States. Its
organization embraces stations and
centers of work located In every city
and in many local subdivisions of the
country.
''This vast Organization has never
been studied in detail as one piece
Of administrative mechanism. Never
have the foundations been laid for a
thorough consideration Of the relations
Of all its parts. No comprehensive ef-
fort has been made to list its multi
farious activities or to group them
in such a way as to present a clear
picture Of what the government is
doing. Never has a complete descrip-
tion been given Of the agencies through
which these activities are performed.
"At no time has the attempt been
do IN ok,,H1y oil nP khoeo onkluSkfoo
and agencies with view to the as
signment of each activity to the
agency best fitted for its performance,
to the avoidance of duplication Of
plant and work, to the integration of
all administrative agencies Of the
government, so far as may be
practicable, into a unified organization
for the most effective and economical
dispatch Of public business"
This extraordinary and indefensibls
situation, which exists today as fully
and completely as 1t did when Mr..
Taft portrayed It seven years ago,
came about quite naturally and simply
through our tolerance and sIackness.
For years and years the government
lived and grew and extended its ac-
tiyittes on Santa Claus money. Its In
come came 90 easily as money In
a letter. For years and years the
national income was greater than the
expenses. Every year there was q
surplus.
The government was precisely In the
position Of the Rockefellers and the
5Carnegies and the Rothschilds. Its
problem was not how to get money
enough to live on, but how to spend
Its income. It naturally got in the
way Of throwing some Of II to the
birds. Il lived Ike . remittance mar.
