WATER PROTEST
At MATAWAN
Pressure Again LoW-Matter
is Discussed at Borough
Council Meeting

MATAWAN, July 25-A heated
discussion took place at the Ikeet-
ing OF the borough council last
uight, concerning the water works.
1t seems hat on Monday morning
the water pressure vas exceedingly
low. Superintendent /. 7. Rue de-
:lared this to be due to the strip
ping of a valve at the pumping
station. Councilman Fucker said
hat better service had been prom
ised, but it did not seem to come
20 pass. Mr.. Rue in answer to IA
question from Mr.. fucker said he
could not tell at what time the
valve had been stripped. Mr.. Fucker
declared that records should be
kept of such things. Mr., Rue
neld that the only way to remedy
conditions is to install a larger
storage tank.
Councilman Thompson spoke of
The great waste of water taken by
the factories and thai the borough
could not maintain a supply of va
ter If this was to continue. 1t was
pointed out by Mayor Sutphin and
Councilman Fucker however, that
this water Is all metered and the
factories in the township which use
it pay for it.
Mayor Sutphin suggested that an
Investigation of the water depart
ment be made by an experienced en-
gineer and the council so ordered
the matter being left in the hands of
Councilman Clark. Mr.. Rue report
ed that Mr.. Clark had an engineer
go over the system last week He
also reported that a night nan is
now employed at the pumping sta
ton and there should be no more
trouble.
A communication from the sewer
contractor was read suggesting
change in the Broad street sewer.
J The change was authorized. Mayor
Sutphin declared the contractor is
not living up to his argument as he
is purchasing material out of the
borough and also employing out-of-
town labor. The matter was re-
ferred to the committee to inves-
rtigate.
An ordinance for additional funds
for the opening of Broad street was
introduced and passed on first read
ting. The ordinance calls for an in
creased expenditure of $4,000. The
-~original ordinance called for an ex-
penditure of $4,000. The public

j. LOGAN AND LOUISE DRESSER
GLAD TO SEE "BURNING SANDS,

Three thousand miles from the
Great White Way-and glad Of it!
This is the condition in which two
broadway favorites found themselves
while encamped among the sand dunes
near Oxnard, Cal, for the filming of
George Melford's production of Burn
ing Sands" which will be the fea-
ture at the Kenworthy theatre, next
Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday.
"a white tent on the desert, baths
in a portable tub, and meals in a
mess-tent is a little different from
a theatre on Broadway, and a com-
Portable hotel a block from the stage
door," said Jacqueline Logan, former
New York Follies favorite, who has
an important role in the picture, but
I like it,"
Louise Dresser, vaude Nlle and

second screen appearance in " Burn

ment. Wanda Hawley and Milton

alistic ambitions, the schemes of
racial and imperial self-aggrandize-
ment which mark the worlds inter-
national relationships.
"There are some among us, of
whom the signatories of this appeal
form a small group, who regard war
as the most ruinous organized sin
which mankind now faces; who are
sure that the war system and the
| Christian gospel cannot permanently
abide together on the same earth;
who see clearly that the spirit of war
and the spirit Of the gospel are anti
thetical, the one representing what
the other hates and would destroy;
who recognize that war is futile as
a means of furthering Christ's King
dom. even where the end sought is
righteous and where the spirit of the
combatants is sacrificial.
"Our position in this appeal does
mot involve theoretical pacifism; we
are not concerned to deny the neces-
sity of using force; massed force, it
may be, in an emergency, nor of a
moderate military organization for de-
fensive purposes. But the war sys-
tenn is not an appeal to force in an
emergency-it is a long drawn out
and deliberate preparation for the use.
of every known means of cruel and
collective destruction.
eve will not believe that mankind
is so deficient in character and in
t~eIligence as to make the rational
solution of our international prob
lens impossible and to commit us to
the continued rule of insane fear, hat
red and collective destruction. And
we are certain that unless the Church
of Christ takes now a clear and con-
sistent stand on this matter of life
and death to our civilization and to
the world, she will merit the con-
tempt of men and the judgment of
God.
Eve therefore urge all the people
of the churches, and all ministers in
particular, to an outspoken declaration
that the war system and the gospel
of Christ are Numerically and ire
.concilably opposed. We urge that
without delay this crisis of decision
between wal and Christ be unmis-
recognized and stated. We
should have every Christian church
the center of a frank and courageous
antagonism of war and everything
that makes war, until in our own
country and in all lands we succeed
in reinstating Christian loyalty to
Christ where it belongs-far above
all local prejudice, racial hatred, and
d~ivisive nationalism."

RAT ATTACKS SLEEPING MAN
Infatuated Animal Makes Wound ir
Mans Neck Within Half Inch
Of JuguIar Vein.

Wilmington, Del.-William w. Wind
sor was the victim of the attack of
an Infatuated rat while sleeping in the
rear Of his Photographic studio the
other night.
Windsor was first awakened by a
noise and, flashing a light, saw a rat
dragging away an apple which had
been taken from a bag in the room.
He placed the apples in a safe place
and then hung the apple which the
rat had striven to make off with
from string from the ceiling, but
out of the animals reach.
Later he was awakened from his
sleep by a singing sensation In his
neck and, brushing his hand across
his face, touched the rat, which had
inflicted a flesh wound. The wound
was within a half inch of the mans
jugular vein. Mr.. Windsor's daugh-
ter died several years ago after hav-
ing been bitten by a rat.

OF men from trades unions. Such q
college, it is pointed out, would be a
haven Of refuge for extra-mural ac-
tivities of the university, and would
enable many adults to carry on stud
les which they started under the ex-
tension course idea and which they
have been unable to complete.

is inevitable unless a better mind can

Imminent Peril Of War.
The appeal, which is given out
through the World Alliance for Inter
national friendship through the
churches, follows in part:
1.-THE present situation in interna-
tional affairs involving as it does the
imminent peril of war, must give con-
Germ to every thoughtful Christian.
After a devastating conflict which has
cost millions of lives, created immea-
surable hatred and piled up a debt OF
so dollars for every minute of time
since Christ was born, the nations of
the earth, apparently having learned
nothing and forgotten nothing, are
once more playing the old game of
competitive imperialism and COM
petitive armament. The church of
Christ was severely blamed for the
occurrence of the last war. That the
gospel should have been so long on
earth and yet should not have pre-
vented the great catastrophe with all
its hideous cruelty and suffering was
a charge against the church so seri-
GUS that all thoughtful ministers felt
its force and were driven ~defensively
to meet It. Even more will another
war bring down upon the Church of
Christ the charge Of moral cowardice
and fatal inef1ciency.
Yet another war Is being prepared
