Rigid Silence in London on
Nature of Reply on Rep

LONDON, July 1S.-(By The As

completion of certain clauses in the
British draft of the reply to the
German Preparations Memorandum
and the explanatory letter to ac-
company it, the cabinet meeting
that was TO be ls,ld today was ost-
poned until tomorrow morning.
The most rigid silence ~ being
observed by every one connected
with the foreign office regarding the
nature of the British response.
The task of Lord Curzon, the sec
rearJ for foreign affairs in COM
posing this document. which is in
tended to contain at least some ell
ement pleasing to all sides, is ad-
mitted to be one of exceptional del
icacy and complexity. and no imita-
ton of the contents of the forth
coming communication escaped the
lips of any government official. The
only thing reasonably certain is
that the draft reply will contain
allusions to Germany's passive re-
sistance as barrier to the opening
or negotiations. together with
statement that Great Britain is
ready to accept the judgment of an
international committee of experts
regarding Germany's capacity 10

It is understood the covering ct
ter will be a long analytical docu
ment explanatory of the broader
phases of the reparation problems

S|LZER URGED
To NAME QUINN
Labor Men from All Parts of
State Call on the
Governor

TRENTON, July 1S-Governor
Silzer wants to pick a new commits
sioner of labor free from any
thought as to how it will affect his
future political fortunes. He is not
much interested in whom that mar
may be but hopes his selection will
treat labor fairly and sympatheti-
cally." This was his viewpoint in q
nutshell expressed yesterday to 8
delegation OF half a hundred rep
resentatives of the State Fedora
tion of Labor who came before his
excellency to urge the appointment
of their president, former Assent
blyman Arthur A. Quinn, of Sc
warren, of the governors home
county of Middlesex.
Several speakers from Hudson
county in the delegation stressed
the political effect of the coming
appointment and almost bluntly re-
ferred to what the labor organiza-
tions of that county had done fo1
him in the last election. Reference
was made by Charles Jennings, head
of the Central Labor Union of Hud-
son county, to a monster parade and
mass meeting of labor people fol
Silzer during the last campaign, and
a woman speaker, Mrs. Nellie Smith,
representing the Jersey City schoo
teachers, during the course of her
argument for Quinn remarked that
I'VE think you could do no bigger
thing, because we want to see you
go higher"
When Henry F. Hilfers, of New
ark, secretary of the state fedora
tion, had concluded introducing the
other speakers and the hearing was
at an end, Mr.. Silzer arose and
thanked those present for express
ing their viewpoint in behalf of
Mr.. Quinn.
"These contacts are very usefu,
and it is not easy to dispose of mat
ters of this kind" he continued
but 1 don't think I ought to dis
pose of this matter on my own per-
sonal aims or desires and while
all that my friends did
for me, suppose l was elected on the
of manufacturers
would be ashamed of myself If
a man opposed to labor
simply because I had been helped
by the manufacturers. AS 1 said at
the Brandle dinner, want to see
that labor is fairly treated. When
they are right 1 will be with them
1 believe you are not so much in
terested in the man who is appoint
ed as whether he will treat labor
fairly and sympathetically. ISM
that so?"
Eyes sir" came a chorus of voices
from his visitors in the big recep-
tion room.

OUTING AUG.6
FOR CR|PPLES
Elks Lodge Arranging Big
Event for Crippled Children
of this Section
GOING TO ASBURY PARK
Will Go in Autos, Have Lots
of Good Things to Eat
and Entire Day at Shore
GOING TO ASBURY PARK

The "Krippled Kiddies" of Perth
Amboy are scheduled to have the
biggest time of their young lives on
Monday, August when they go by
automobile to Asbury Park as the
guests of the local lodge of EIks.
Recorder Harold Z. Piekersgill
who was in charge of this outing
last year and put it across in such
a successful manner that he was
unanimously selected to head tht
committee again this year, promises
the children that 1t is going to be
some" time and if the Judge" says
SO, it must be.
In order to make some prelimin-
ary arrangements, Judge" Pickers-
gill went to Asbury Park Monday
and the sentiment expressed by
those visited by him showed that
they were willing to do everything
possible for the enjoyment of the
cripples. Jean Amalie. proprietor
of the Steeplechase amusement
place, (Which is larger than ever
this year, promised to open every
thing for the kiddies free of charge
JeHhCuSOfl pdRilAOlAf d. sN 4ltCD tAh1
children ate last year, will again be
the place at which refreshments
will be served. In addition to his
offer to furnish a certain amount OF
food free of charge, the proprietor
offered to send automobiles from
Asbury Park to Perth Amboy to
convey the kiddies to and from the
park if the local committee founc
it impossible to secure sufficient
cars.
The Elks committee does not
anticipate any difficulty in getting
cars as owners of machines have al
ready begun to offer them for this
day which will be the red letter day
of the year in the lives of many in
valided youngsters.
In order that the cripples who
find it impossible to wall any
distance might enjoy the view of the
ocean and scenes along the board
walk Charles Rugarber manager OF
the rolling chair establishment
promised to care for the helpless
cripples who were brought to him.
Arrangements have also been
made at the Cherry Tree Farm,
where a stop was made last year,
to again visit this place for refresh
ments. When the Amboy Elks ran
their "Krippled Riddles" outing
last year the nature of 1t was not
we'll known to many but the enjoy
ment the children soon showed con-
clusively that the affair was a big
thing in the monotonous lives of the
little cripples and this year the COM
mittee Is receiving unsolicited CO.
operation from all sides.
A meeting of the committee, to-
gether with the women who will
again make up the lunches, viii be
called within a few days and the
Evening News will publish applica-
ton blanks to be filled out by those
desiring to make the trip in order
that the committee may know how
many to expect. Judge" Pickers-
gill announces that offers of food
needed to make up the lunches
have been received by him.

ROTARYFAVORS
MEMORIAL IDEA
Committee Appointed to Push
the Amboy Bridge Idea
Throughout State

Besides taking steps to bring its
membership attendance up to 100
per cent at its meeting at noon to-
day the Perth Amboy Rotary Club
went on record as endorsing the
memorial bridge idea. A commit
tee was appointed to work the mat
ter up and get in touch with Ro-
tarv throughout the state in an ef-
fort to stir up agitation in favor OF
the project.
Ferd Garretson. chairman of the
civic committee. brought the matter
up He favored the club going on
record as favoring the memorial
feature and suggested that the or
ganization get behind the PROPOSE
ton. Senator Larson spoke of the
course necessary to pursue to get
the memorial feature properly be-
fora the authorities, and ]. Logan
Clevenger told OF what progress had
been made thus far.
The members expressed them
selves as favoring the idea and the
committee consisting of Ferd Gar
retson, chairman, Morgan Larson.
Ira r. Grouse, Aylin Pierson and J.
Logan Clevenger will plan for a
suitable action to push the agita-
ton among Rotary clubs throughout
the state.
The idea is to have the state high
way bridge across the Raritan river
between the two Amboys made the
state memorial for the New Jersey
boys who fought in the World War.
The fact that the bridge is going to
be one of the largest wholly within
the state, that it crosses the states
largest river, and that it forms a con-
Meeting link between North and
South Jersey was emphasized. This
particular bridge will be seen and
used by more people. perhaps. than
any other structure that could be
erected within the state, not to men,
tion the thousands of tourists from
all sections of the country who will
cross it.
There were fifteen members of
Rotary absent today. This brings the
percentage down very
low. In an effort to increase the
percentage. each member absent will
be seen by a member of Rotary dur
ing the week with the idea of get
ting him to visit some Rotary club
before next Wednesday so as to be
recorded as being present.
Harmonica solos by George Fithian
and Gus Ranges were greatly appre-
ciated. 80.

Dropping from 0ffice-Won
Position After Tilt

his resignation to the members of
the county executive committee at a
meeting of that body to be held Sat
urday afternoon at 2 o'clock in Elks'
Hall, Albany street, New Brunswick.
A successor to Chairman Hayes will
likely be elected at this meeting.
Business reasons are given by the
chairman for relinquishing the Of
flee of county Democratic head. Dur
ing the time he has held the position
he has been a most active chairman
and in order to see the Democratic
candidates succeed at the polls de-
voted SO much time to politics that
his own business was allowed to suf-
fer
Chairman Hayes has sent letters
to all of the men and women on the
county executive committee urging
them to attend the meeting Satur-
day afternoon at which plans i,.r
the fall campaign will be discussed,
various subcommittee appoint I'd
and arrangements made for an outing
or some sort of an affair to be con-

undertaken at once by the county
committee to formulate plans for the
Fall campaign and realizing that the
chairman of the county executive
committee must be prepared to give
it great part of his time, from now
until the close of the campaign in
November, l have concluded that it
will be impossible for me to devote
the time necessary. to carry it to a
successful conclusion and do justice
to myself and our candidates for Of
flee.
AS chairman OF the county execu-
tive committee, I had a most pleas
ant and interesting experience and
aside from the pleasure of having
assisted in a small way in the cleo
ton of one of Middlesex county's
sons to the office of Governor of the
state, enjoyed to the fullest extent
the association with the members of
the committee.
Il have called meeting of the
county committee for Saturday next,
at two O'clock in the afternoon, at
the Elks' Hall in New Brunswick,
at which meeting 1 will resign as
chairman and hope at that time
that the county committee will be
prepared to elect my successor to
office.
