Paul Levine, of New Brunswick
avenue, is in the Muhlenberg Hospi-
tai at Plainfield and Matthew Chris
tensen is in bed at his home here in
Mcclellan street as the result of an
automobile accident at the Oak Tree

and arms.
The two men were on their way
to Plainfield and, according to Chris

miles an hour when they approached
the curve at Oak Tree. Levine, who
was driving, evidently lost control Of
the car on the curve and the ma
chine turned over.
According to Christensen, when he
felt the car turning he placed his
arms over his head and thus saved
himself from serious injury. He de-
clared that he was rendered uncon-
scious but soon revived. whereupon
he broke the glass in the door and
got free of the car. He found it i'm
possible to get Levine out and stop
ping a passing automobile obtained
aid by which the car was raised, and
the two men taken to the hospital.

AMBOY TEAM
WINS DEBATE
Local Students viCtors Win
ming Club for Champion
ship in Amboy Class
BRUNSWICK Is BEATEN
Wonderful Showing is Made
by Local School Team
Winner of Cup
BRUNSWICK is BEATEN

The Perth Amboy high school de-
batting team won the championship
of the largeh city group in East and
Central Jersey by winning over the
representative New Brunswick school
team last night at the Junior high
school in the county seat.
AS in the other debates the sub
ject under consideration ETAOIN
ject under discussion was "Resolv-
ed, That. the Merchant Marine of the
United States Should me Subsidized
by the Federal Government" The
two teams upheld the same sides
which won for them in the semi
final debates, Amboy arguing on the
topic from the negative side and New
Brunswick, tho affirmative. The
team to carry this city to the cham
pionship was composed of Miss Flor
ence Blum, Joseph Goldstein, Yale
Winner and Joseph Jellinek, alter
nate. The speakers for the losing
school were Abraham Dobin, Hyman
Frischling. William Mergolis and Ma
than Back, alternate.
Miss Blum the first speaker for
the negative proved that there was
no demand for a ship subsidy in this
country and she then quoted from
authorities stating that in other
countries the subsidies have been
failures.
Mr.. Frishling the second speaker
on the affirmative delved into his
tory and told of the different mer-
chant marines which this country
had at different times. 1.-THE with
drawal of the subsidy spelled the
death for American shipping" de-
clared this speaker. He told Of the
Cunard line and the Japanese plan
to help shipping. The success of
nations is due to the merchant ma
rines he pointed out.
Looking at the subsidies from var
ious angles Mr.. Goldstein the second
speaker for the Perth Amboy team
proved that subsidies were wrong In
principle, morally wrong, practically
wrong and last but not least were
economically wrong owing to the ex-
cessive cost.
New Brunswick then attempted to
show that the cost of constructing
American vessels was greater than
that of foreign nations and in con-
sequence it cost more to operate.
This arguement was completely des-
troyed in the rebuttal by the affirm
ative. Yale Wilmer the last speaker
proposed seven plans for the assur-
ance of merchant marine. Miss
Blum and Mr.. Goldstein gave the
rebuttal for Amboy while Frishling
and Margolis spoke for the New
Brunswick team.
The decision of the judges caused
many a heart to flutter as each de-
cision was read. The first ballot to
be opened gave the debate to the
negative, the second to the negative
and the deciding one to the neg
ative. The judges were L. w.
Woodman of Woodbridge high
school, NJ. L. Barr of Barringer high
school of Newark ard s. H. McLlroy
of Junior high school of Newark The
chairman of the debate was Princi-
pal Lowery of the New Brunswick
high school.
A large crowd attended from this
city. The local high school will re-
ceive a large loving cup from the
Rutgers College Debating Society
for last nights victory.

WASHINGTON, April 2S:-Reply-
ing to objections raised TO America n
participation in the permanent court
OF international justice, Secretary
Hughes, speaking last night before
the American Society OF Internatiou-
al Law, asserted in summary of his
support of the proposal that the "on-

a court, Mr.. Hughes said, adding that
we snail make no progress toward
the prevention of war If we adopt a
perfectionist policy"
Because the court has a distinct
legal status created by an independ-
ent organic act" the Secretary said
there could be no sound basis for the
objection that American particiua-
ton would be a step toward the
nations entry into the League of
Nations. Those who desire such an
end by this method. he said, were

ly escaped drowning ON Sunday
night. July "a, as a result of an ac-
cident that occurred when a large
boat believed to be a government
craft, struck the Sewaren boat
amidships. practically cutting the
motor boat in two. The collision
happened at Sea Breeze Point.
Demarest's party was composed OF
Mis- Margaret Crossen of Sewaren,
Guy Miller of West Virginia, and
himself.
They had been cruising around
the bay and had just come abreast
of the point off Sea Breeze when
the larger craft, which carried no
lights ran them down.
When their boat began to fill the
party attempted to get aboard the
othe- motor and the transfer was
made safely except in the case of
Miss Crossen who fell overheard
while climbing to the second boat.
Demarest Immediately plunged in
after Miss Crossen and reached her,
but swirling current at that poit;t
carried them away from the govern
ment boat and Demarest was unable
to make headway against the tide.
Hearing the cries of the party
aboard boat, Victor E. jacobson
of Raritan township. camping in the
point hurried several hundred feet
to the water, sprang in and swan
out to the rescue of Miss Crossen
and Demarest. Reaching them he
held them up until the motor boat
was able to get close enough to pull
three aboard.
