ALL CAN ASSIST
IN CELEBRATION
Appeal Made to Public to Con-
tribute to Fund for Visit
Perth Amboy Day
WILL BE GALA EVENT
Boy Scouts Rendering VaIu-
able Assistance and Will
Share in Proceeds
WILL BE GALA EVENT

Through the cooperation of the
Boy Scouts, the first advertising mat
ter for Visit Perth Amboy Day" and
the coming of the United States Ma
rine Band appeared in the stores
and upon the bill boards and fences
of the city today. Early this morn
ing the boys reported for duty and
soon they were on their way with
a supply of cards for distribution
among the merchants and other dis
play purposes.
The Boy Scouts, it is expected
will benefit from the Visit Perth
Amboy Day." as it is the expecta-
ton of the Lion and Rotary Clubs
to clear enough money to wipe out
the debt of the Boy Scout organiza-
tion.
The Visit Perth Amboy Day" is
growing by leaps and bounds and
indications are that the goal OF
10000 visitors to which the commit
tee is striving, will be but a small
number of the persons who will
come here. Early next week the
committee begins the distribution OF
advertising matter in all the outly-
ing districts. This matter will be
distributed as far south as HaZlet
and Morganville in Monmouth
county and from indications today
will cover Middlesex county like the
dew. 1t is evident that the COM
mittee intends to place advertising
in every nook and corner of the
county so that it will be impossible
to say: ~ didn't know thing about
it,"
Space in the program has nearly
been sold out and it is reported to-
day that the advertising for Its
pages will have to be in by Monday
noon. Should anyone desire to place
an advertisement in the program
they are requested to communicate
with Oliver r. Hatfield, not later
than 12 o'clock Monday.
The visit of the Marine band Is
looked forward to by everyone and
already people in surrounding towns
have let it be known that they plan
to come here on September II in or
der to hear the music of the world
famous organization. The band
will give two concerts on Visit Perth
Amboy Day. one in the afternoon at
$3.50 o'clock and the other in the
evening at 8:15. Both concerts Will
take place in City Hall Park, which
is to be especially arranged for the
occasion.
The need Of contributions to meet
the cost OF bringing the band TO
this city and other expenses IN
Cured through the Visit Perth Am
boy Day is apparent, and a plea IS
made by the committee in charge OF
the gala event for the public to SUD
scribe to the fund, which is being
raised to give Perth Amboy the
greatest day in Its history. Contri.
buttons in any amount may be sent
through the Evening News.

TRENTON, Sept. 16.-Tax assess
ments in the various counties this
year must be uniform and up to the
full value. warns the State Board of
Taxes and Assess ments in letter
to the county tax boards, made pub
lie today. Taxes will be assessed as
of the first of October, and the state
board apparently believes an ounce
of prevention is worth a pound of
cure.
1t calls the attention of the county
boards to the fact that they have
full control over the assessors under
them, and also that the state board
has, under the 1921 act passed for
the purpose. power to revise assess
ments approved by the county
boards where it finds that one county
is getting off easy in the matter of
state taxes by reason Of low valua-
tions, at the expense of the others.

Horrors In Smyrna Grow;
Thousands Put To Death:
Whole City Is In Ruins

LONDON, Sept. 16 (By The Asso-
ciated Press s)-Succeeding dispatches
from Constantinople, Athens and
other centers of information in the
near east only tend to magnify the
tale of tragedy in Smyrna.
Most of the city is in ruins, laid
waste by confiagration of incendi-
airy origin and the flames, according
to the latest accounts, have reached
the waterfront where the quays were
crowded with fear-crazed Christian
refugees who fled to the city as the
nearest port of escape from the
Turks.
Many have thrown themselves into
the water rather than run the risk
of being burned alive or facing Mus
tapah kemal Pahra's soldiery, drunk
with victory and fired with religious
fanaticism.
Others have not had the chance
to choose, according to dispatches
which tell of horrible tortures and
mutilations and wholesale executions
Large numbers of Greek soldiers
have been decapitated and others
forced into sacks and thrown into
the sea, reports say.
Allegations of having served in the
Greek army means death to the Ar
menians and women and children
are being put to the sword.
Estimates of the number killed
vary greatly and the latest Athens
dispatch quotes an American relief
worker as declaring that up to
Thursday morning there had been
12C, 900 victims.
II is thcuSht this figure may in
clude the wounded also as prev'o
reports paced the number OF dead
a. LOCO to 600.
Landward from the city it is re-
ported that all the villages are burn
ing and that whole countryside has
been devastated.
Meanwhile the Turkish forces In
| the north have continued their ad-
vance and almost simultaneously
with the news of their capture OF
| Panderma on the Sea OF Marmora
comes the announcement that the
British fleet in the Dardanelles has
been ordered to prevent any attempt
to cross the strait and that no snip
shall be allowed to concentrate for
tic purpose of transferring troops
in a movement towards Thrace.
Jugo-Slavia and Rumania also are
Watching any move in this direction
as they are oppohed to the Turks
again securing a foothold in Europe.
While the Turks do not possess
navy they control a swarm OF hght
vessels and have a call upon some
larger ships in the Black Sea.
The Turks are not without sup
port in their European ambition.
The Russo-Angora treaty is under
stood to bind the Russians to CO.

Soldiers Bonus Bill
Now Before President

Should Mr.. Harding send the bon
US back to congress an effort would
be made to override his veto. ac-
cording to those who have charge
of it in the House and Senate. Sup
porters believed far more than the
necessary two-thirds majority in the
House could be obtained, but they
were not so certain about the Sem
ate. If the issue comes in that body
the outcome may hinge on a num-
ber of senators absent from Wash
irgton. While the conference re-
port was adopted yesterday by two
thirds majority-36 to 17-it re-
quired only one senator for, to pair
with one senator against, whereas
in the vote to override a veto 1t
would require two senators for, 70
pair with one opponent.
