Here, among you to whom the
traditions of those events are a sac
red trust. is no place for recounting
the discouragement of the patriot
cause, the low ebb of continental for
tunes. the seeming that final disas-
ter could not long be stayed. AL
most from the day, in the preceding
summer, when the great declaration
had been issued, misfortune had fol-
lowed on misfortune's heel-Lons
Island, the loss of New York, the
surrender of the Hudson forts, the
retreat across New Jersey, the ref
uge in Pennsylvania. 1t was all
leading toward the seemingly inevi-
table end. The army was crumb-
ling, only civil authority pretend
ed to maintain any central organ.
The enemy delayed to finish his task.
only because he was SO certain OF
his quarry that haste would be un-
seemly.

toms defiance. The crossing of the
Delaware in storm and ice foes; the
march. and the delays which made
it impossible % effect 4 night At

Washington stern and fateful deci-

and the victory.
Brilliant as was the accomplish

side, was faced presently by the su-
perior strength of the now consoli-
dated British forces. At last his
rival was sure of 'the old fox"
Then came the strategic Withdrawal
by Washington, at night, in secret
from his Line on the Assunpink
creek, the flanking march to Prince
ton and the second surprise and de-
feat of the enemy. In the narrative
of those magnificent winter days of
marching and fighting, surprises and
victories, one finds the truest presen-
tation of the indomitable spirit
which sustained, and, at last, won
the revolution.
1T is no. often that the precise
importance and significance of a
particular military detail can be so
accurately appraised as it can re-

CENTRAL R. R. ASKS
To RUN TRAINS so
MILES HOUR IN CITY
Application Made by Railroad
to Board of Public Utility
Commissioners
SET HEARING IN CASE
Action Will be Taken June IS
--Notice is Served on
the City

Declaring that public convenience
requires the rate of speed for trains
through this city be thirty miles per
hour instead of fifteen miles per
hour as maintained at the present
time, the Central Railroad of New
Jersey and Pennsylvania railroad,
have made application to the Pub
lie Utility Commission for hearing
in order that the speed limit of
creased. The date of the hearing
has been set down for next Thurs
day at 10:45 o'clock, daylight saving
time, in the rooms of the commits
sion at 100 Broad street, Newark.
In the application for the hearing,
the railroads point out that on or
about June 20, 1921, there was pre-
sented tt the commission resolu-
tion adopted by the Board of Alder
men OF the City of Perth Amboy.
and approved by the mayor, which
sought to limit the speed Of trains
through the city to rate OF ten
miles an hour.
At the hearing on this matter. ac-
cording to the application the city
and the railroad company agreed to
a speed of fifteen miles an hour be-
tween Washington street and Market
street to see how it would work out.
The application further states
that the commission decided that
IL would issue an order so limiting
the rate of speed, but this order was
never issued. However, the rate OF
speed of trains over said crossings
since that time has not exceeded hf-
teen miles an hour.
The third point brought out in
the application is:
AIn view of the necessary increase
In the number of passenger trains
during the coming summer season
Ito accommodate seashore traffic,
public convenience requires that the
rate of speed through the city of
Perth Amboy be increased to at
least thirty miles an hour or such
rate of speed as the commission may
determine.
The application is signed by w.
G.. Besler, president of the Central
Railroad of New Jersey and Elisha
Lee, vice president of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad.
City Attorney Leo Goldberger who
received the copy of the application
and notice of the hearing today, said
that he would present the matter TO
the Board of Aldermen at their
meeting on Monday night, at which
time they would decide whether or
not to take action.

Letter of New Brunswick
Trade Board Not Read at
Freeholders' Meeting
MADE PUBLIC, HOWEVER
Urge CurtaiIment of Expend-
itures of Money by the
County Board

NEW BRUNSWICK, June st
was learned this morning that the
trustees of the New Brunswick
Board of Trade submitted a letter
to the Board of Freeholders at its
meeting yesterday, setting forth the
candid opinion of the board of trade
regarding certain of the pc: policies
Of the county governing body. For
some reason as yet unexplained,
the communication was not read at
the session yesterday and its contents
were subsequently made public
through another agency.
The letter signed by A. s. Atkin-
son, secretary of the Board of Trade
is substantially as follows:
Honorable Sirs:-At meeting
of the trustees of the Board of Trade
on Wednesday night resolution
was adopted expressing the opinion
that the excessive expenditure OF
public FUNDS by the County Board
OF Freeholders at this time was un-
wise and extravagant in view OF
what other agencies are doing II
this county"
1.-THE secretary fas instructed to
notify your honorable body to this
effect and to urge a more economic
policy in connection with the admin
istration of theahaIs of the county,
to aid In reduction of taxes and toe
lowering of rents. Further. the
legality of the advertisement for the
issuance of bonds for road improve
ments was questioned. since it spe-
cifies that the road will last sixeten
years.
1T was the consensus of opinion
among the trustees that, based upon
experience with roads built by for
mer boards of freeholders as well as
your honorable body. there is doubt
as to the time specified being COR
rect. Also, it was suggested TO ask
you to state il the roads proposed to
be built will meet the requirements
of Section 4-A; also 10 remind your
honorable body that the Highland
Park -Metuchen road has not lasted
that length of time and now. befor=
the debt contracted for its building
has been paid, the county and state
are contemplating rebuilding that
thoroughfare."
THE board of trustees went on
record in favor OF open specifica-
lions and competitive bidding TO- all
county work and hereby prctes.s
emphatically against star chamber
methods A further protest was
authorized against the expenditure
of $4,000 on Road IA at Wood
bridge, in which none but stipulated

This is NOT in keeping with your pre-
election promises. nor it is consis-
tent with the idea of a square deal.

NEW CERAMICS
SCHOOL READY
Beautiful Building at Rutgers
to be Dedicated Next
Tuesday

On Tuesday at 3 o'clock the new
ceramics building at Rutgers Col
lege. New Brunswick, will be dedi-
Gated. This marks an episode in the
cera mics industry of the state that
will long be remembered, for no one
knows what the results of the stud
les of ceramics in this building vii!
bring forth. Common clay has be-
come one of the unknown products
of the country, and each day new
uses for this, one of the greatest OF
materials, is being discovered.
Charles A. Bloomfield of Metuchen
was the father of the ceramics build
ing idea and long advocated such
structure at the state college TO fur
ther study the ceramics. Finally
through the efforts of Thomas Brown
of this city, who was then a mem
Der of the state senate. bill was
passed appropriating s150.000 for
the erection OF building at the
state college to be devoted to the
study of ceramics. Although the
building when completed will cost ir
the neighborhood of $4,000 or
s150,000 the difference in the cost
of construction and the money ap-
propriated will be made up by the
ceramic industries and others who
are interested in its development.
The building is the last word in
the ceramics art and by those who
have been privileged to inspect 1t
is declared to be one of the most
beautiful buildings in the country.
The building is of fireproof con-
struction and is well equipped for
the purpose for which it is designed.
II is expected that every man in
the country who is noted in the cer-
amics industry will be present at
the dedication ceremonies. The pro-
gram of events in connection with
the dedication will be released with
in a few days. A feature of the
dedication is that the general pub
lie is invited and urged 70 attend.

PRINCETON, June 9.-The bril-
liancy of General Washington's gen.
ius in action and the devotion of his
followers of the Continental army
under great privation, were extolled
by President Harding today in ali
address at the dedication of the ba.-
tie monument at Princeton. The
memorial was fitting to the heroes
and heroism of that day, he declar-
ed, adding that 1--WE bring and lay
at it's foot the laurel wreaths which
gratitude and patriotic sentiment
will always dedicate to those who
have borne the heat and burden OF
the conflict"
The President spoke as follows:
MY Fellow Americans:
I'VE have come here TO say the
formal words of dedication and con-
secration before a monument in
granite and marble. But we stand,
to say those words, in the presence
of another monument, which is the
true memorial to the events we cele-
brate. The real monument to the
achievement of Washington's pat
riot army in the Princeton
campaign, is not in workings of
bronze or carvings of stone. II
rears itself in the institutions of lib
erty and representative government,
now big in the vision of all mankind.
I'm the presence of such a monu-
ment, we can do no better than con-
secrate ourselves to the cause in
which at this place the soul of gen.
ius and the spirit of sacrifice shone
forth with steadfast. radiance. On n !

no other memorial of heroism could

eral Washington reached the heigh:
of it's brilliancy in action. Here his
followers wrote their highest testi-
mony of valor. Here liberty seek
ing devotion struggled through pri-
walton and unbelievable exertion
to gain the heights. The crimson
ed prints of numbed and bleeding
feet marked the route a pathway to
eternal glory. Thither they trudg-
ed through storm and torrent; but
from here. in the hour of victory,
went out winged messengers to let
all men know that liberty was safe
in the keeping of her sons.
Point me the field of strife, to
which have converged more roads
