Jersey Cupid Fits His Arroaos,
For Mating Begins Tomorrow
) 1000 Darts Are Ready for just So Many Candi-
dates, and Editor DeIker and Pal Lew Are
Sure That Hash Eating Days Are Over

The bucclic jape. whach has turned
an entire continent toward nail-order
uiAtrsznory, reaches fsaftion to-mosas'ts
when Cupid's Court convencs for its
first session in the Eagle Motion Pic
ture Theater, on Bellevue Avenue,
Hammonton, N. j.
Aghast at the magnitude of the
movement which they started blithcly
as q small-town jest, Editor Thomas
Bancroft Deiker and Lewis Samuel
Conley. the cigar store proprietor, who
in his day was the Babe Ruth of
southern New Jersey, to-day are rum
ming around their native heath beating
the air and uttering plaintive cries. In
their moments of silent exhaustion
their lips move as though in prayer,
1t Is possible that they are praying;
more, it Is extremely likely.
A little less than six weeks ago
Editor Delker and Lew Conley sat in
the Bellevue Restaurant, meals at All
Hours" gazing without enthusiasm at
plate of roast beef fanked by two
deadly-looking potatoes.
"It's Not Right" Says DeIker
tits not right, Lew" said Editor
Delker. Here's you and me, robust,
hearty-eating fellows, not so young as
we once were, perhaps, but In good
health, sound in wind and limb, and
having certain quantity of the world

Editor Delker's gift Of words.
There are plenty of women in this
town who could make you or me good
home" went on Editor Delker. "And
there's other men in this town who
are, as you say, similarly situated to
us. Then what's the matter?"
''They ought to take the names Of all

the unmarried women in this town."
said Lew Conley; "and the names Of
all the unmarried men, and put them
INTO o hat. Then they could draw
them out two at time, and whoever
was drawn out with somebody else
would get married; If they liked each
other, of course"
Editor Delker considered this propo-
sition for moment. Jumping grass
hoppers!" said Editor Delker, You've
got hold of real idea by the tail. Let
me think this over"
So the Lovers Union Began
Thus the Lovers' Cooperative Union
was born from the hash weary stomach
of Lew Conley. Now Editor Delker, as
secretary of the Lovers Cooperative
Union, has nearly 5000 candidates for
matrimony, male and female, on his
hands, and tomorrow tha pairing be-
gins.
The original scheme has been very
much modified. There is nothing Of
the lottery about the proceedings
which are to begin in the Eagle Mo-
tion Picture Theater tomorrow morn
ing. Ali the applicants have filled in
Questionnaires conveying detailed In
formation about themselves, their re-
ligious inclinations, their preferences
in life mate and their earning capac-
ity. These applications are to be pre-
sented to a jury made up of two un-
married persons, man and woman;
widow and widower, and hus-
band and wife. with six selected
newspaper writer's. Sittings Of the
court are to be held, according to
present plans, in Philadelphia, New
York, and in other centers which have
supplied large numbers of applicants.
"ft started as a Joke" says Editor
Delker; "but it's got beyond chat now,
Here are thousands Of lonely souls all
over the United States and Canada who
seek mates We aim to provide them
with suitable introductions. The man
who can see anything funny in that
has never known what it is to be q
widower with a family, and have to eat
in a hash house"

Inc four little Foxes, the children
ther stomachs full, were taking nap

t9re' but their mother was not nap
pIhg' NO, sir, she was not mapping.
She lay listening to g sound that
poth worried her and provoked her.
II was the voice of Bowser the Hound.
AND she knew as well as if she had
been where she could see that Bowser
was on the trail of Reddy Fox.
Had 1t been in the late fall or win
ter Mrs. Reddy would have been
neither worried nor provoked. She
would simply have prepared to helm
Reddy out in case he had trouble in
getting rid of Bowser. But now she
was worried because of those four
young Foxes. She felt sure that
!heddy would have sense enough to
keep away from the Old Pasture. But
there was always chance that he
might not: She knew that he was not
IN condition for long run at this
season OF the year. She knew that

6oWser might find those young Foxes.
@sS0OS WAS worried, She
wasn't worried on account of what
might happen to Reddy, but on &C
count Of those young Foxes.
And she was provoked because
Reddy had been where Bowser the
Hound would find his trail. She knew
just as well as if she had been there
that Reddy had visited Farmer
Browns barnyard. "I'll give him

Just then one of the little Foxes
awoke. AT once he pricked up his
funny little ears. "Bow, WOW, wow,
vtowi' came the voice of Bowser the
Hound from the distance. Bow. WOW
WOW, wowi" Another little Fox awoke
and pricked up his ears. Then the

Tragedy From Residents

The tension which has held China
town. In unvoiced fear Of an outbreak
of tong warfare since the murder Of
Ko Low, national head of the Hip Sing
Tong, August 7, relaxed yesterday. The
shadow OF imminent tragedy which
has oppressed the narrow through
fares Of Pell, Doyers and Mott streets
lifted.
Red and black notices, which ap-
peared early In the morning on the
bulletin board at PelI and Doyers
streets, gave proof that the hatchet
still! was nrred as deep as Ko Low in
his peaceful grave in Cypress Hills.
Hip Sing men and On Leong men
jostied each other smilingly and chat
tered without restraint at the bloody
four corners as they scanned the two
documents.
ons bore the official signature of
the Flip Sing Tong; the other, that Of
the On Leong Tong. The proclamations
informed all faithful tong men that
leaders Of the Hip Sing and the On
Leong tongs had discussed amicably
tHe suGOSn SdGHSIlAE VI tus hOHOI @p4S
Ko Low TO his fathers and reached the
decision that tong honor was not in
volved in the matter.
Effect Is Immediate
Whatever the motive that ushered
10 Low so unceremoniously into the
presence OF his honored ancestors, it
his own tong or It's erstwhile rival, the
On Leong Tong. Leaders of Hip Sing
set forth above their signatures their
belief that the On Leong Tong was in
no way responsible for the death of
Ko Low. Leaders of the On Leong
Tong subscribed to a pledge 20 aid
their brothers Of Hip Sing in every
possible way to convict the assassin
of Ko Low.
was immediate and apparent. Hip Sing
men walked in Mott Street with never
G cautious glance to this side or that
and rounded the Bloody Angle in
Doyers Street firmly and unafraid.
Men of the On Leong Tong strolled
carelegsly through the Hip Sing pre-
cincts of Pell Street. Hip Sing and On
Leong met without covert glances each
at the others sleeves, where che blue
bnrreled AIS are carried in time of
war, and with cheerful word of greet

Uniformed patrolmen, who have been
numerous in the district for week,
melted unobtrusively from sight and
did not again appear.
Hip Sing leaders and those Of the
On Leong Tong had said many times
since the death Of Ko Low that there
would be no rupture of the seven-yea
peace, but there were many who had
not heard the words from their lips.
Police officials had, but still they
doubted. A Chinese never says one
thing and means another, but some
times he says it in way to lead his
hearer to believe another. That was
why Inspector Coleman was anxious
The red and black proclamations set
tied that matter in the mind of In,
spector Coleman as we'll as in those OF
the Chinese who clustered about the
bulletin board all day.

NO MORE ALIEN LOANS
FROM UNITED STATES
Even Advances From Private
Financial Interests to be
Discouraged.

Washington, Oct. 12.--No expecta-
ton exists on the part of the United
States Government that II will receive
any return on it's war loans TO It's for
mer European allies. except in the case
OF Great Britain, until those nations
readjust their finances and through a
process II rehabilitation place them
selves In position TO pay their obliga-
lions. This was made clear yesterday
In a high official quarter.
On its face this statement appears 10
he encouraging to the apparent dispo-
s.tion of continental governments to
bring about an indefinite postpone
ment CT a refunding Of their American
war debts. with. perhaps. the hope OF
ultimate agreement of the United
states 10 cancel its allied indebt edness
But the real significance OF the state
ment lies in what seems TO be the fact
that II contemplates a policy on the
part OF the Government by which an
embargo Will be placed on further
American loans to certain European
powers.
That there should be no more loans
by this Government directly to any OF
our former allies had already been de.
termined. What came 10 light yester.
day was that loans from private Amer
lean financial interests are also likel,
10 be tabooed.
The political situation in Europe ha.
assumed such a phase that, in tn.
opinion OF some of those having rrear
! influence in the councils OF the Hard.
Ing Administration, 1t would be tn,
part OF American and international
folly TO permit such conditions to con.
tinue II It is within the power of The
United Sattes Government to proven,
them through cutting of tho Ameri.
can source u financial supply.

dcrstand how the Negroes can con.
slstently scratch Layton and vote for
du Pont, as the latter Ia responsible
for the formers nomination, which
was brought about by mere force of
power. They can not understand how
du Pont can hope to escape the wrath
of the Layton opposition when the
Junior Senator rode rough-shod over
that opposition and by his own decree
made Layton a component part Of his
own candidacy.
Scared ut Situation.
It will not do for the friends and
supporters OF du Pont and Layton to
say that they are not frightened over
the situation. for they have appealed
for help at the hands OF the admins
tration. They have asked that MEM

spicuous Republican leaders In Wash
ington be assigned to the duty OF
saving Delaware to the Republican
party. Democrats here see a~con1es
sion OF weakness In the alarm tina,

including many supporters OF dr

here who confidently believe that tn,
