WOULD ASK HUGHES TO
TALK OF PREPARATIONS

WASHINGTON. Feb. S.-Although
administration senator's say there is
little chance of its adoption, a pro
posal that Secretary Hughes be in
vited to appear before the Senate
foreign relations committee and dis
cuss the reparations situation is to
be passed on formally by the COM
mittee at meeting Tuesday.
The suggestion that the secretary
be summoned was made by Senator
Robinson, democrat, Arkansas, who
has a. resolution pending to authorizes
fun American participation in the
separations commission. Today Chair
man Lodge of the committee con-
feTred with Mr. Hughes and a call
for the meeting Tuesday was issued
shortly afterwards.
acute by heavy SHOWS and lack of
clothing. In the great storm of in
dignation following the Smyrna fire,
they have been forgotten. Many of
them are innocent abiding,
home-loving tillers of the soil, who
deserve some measure Of the worlds
sympathy.
Correspondents who have Travelled
throughout the affected territories
report that unless foreign govern
heHl Teliel measures are undertaken,
majority of the two million or
more refugees will perish this win
ter. There is virtually no fuel, no
Shelter, no clothing. The relief work
OF the Athens and Angora govern
ments is pitifully inadequate. They
are both bankrupt. Help must come
from the outside and as yet this help
has not proved effective, particularly
in Salonica. Constantinople and the
Aegean islands.

all points of the county. The cordial
hospitality of Mrs. Sheppard delighted
the members.
The Wildwood ladies were taken to
Cape May by Mrs. Jonathan Hand in

CITY CONTRACTS MUST
PASS INSPECTION
So Declares Commissioner of
Streets Alfred Taylor and Adds
that Otherwise Contractors
Will Not be Paid

Craythorn C Nickerson, the con-
tractor building the surface drainage
and cutters in the first ward along
Ocean avenue from Atlantic to the
boardwalk, have been notified that the
work is not acceptable and that they
will not be paid for same. They have
also been notified to remove the piles
of dirt on these streets and put the
streets back in the same condition
they found them when they started
their contract. The contractor has al
ready started work removing the dirt
and says he will have it cleaned up by
Saturday night. The taxpayers need
have no fear that work not satisfac-
torily done will be paid for. The work
must be approved by the engineer,

WILDWOOD CITY BAND
TO HAVE BENEFIT
Plans now Under Way to Secure
Uniforms and Perhaps Instru-
ments for One of Wildwood's
Most Loyal Booster
Organizations

Wildwood is not ungrateful. This
is going to be proven by a benefit and
subscription campaign to start 500
for the Wildwood City Band. Every
one knows how loyal this group of
men under the unselfish dictatorship
of Oscar Huebner has been and how
they willingly urn out to help along
the cause of any organization and the
city at any time Or place regardless
of weather or distance.
The band has, helped put Wild
wood Over" in numerous cities on
many occasions. The men who make
up the band as well as everybody in
Wildwood are anxious that they shall
present an appearance that will be a
credit to their organization and to the
city they represent. To that end new
suits are badly need at once New
uniforms that will be reasonable and
yet of good quality and fine appear
ance will take a fund of 100000.
That will be the first aim in the
benefit.
New instruments are also needed,
and clever he may be can produce
highest grade music with lowest grade
instruments. New instruments that
are needed to round out the band and
complete the tones can be had for ap-
proximately $4,000 more. Wildwood
boosters are anticipating that a fund
large enough to get both suits and in
struments will be the result of the
benefit.
Plans for the benefit are nearly COM
plete and will be made public about
June 1st. The concert itself will take
place between the LIST and 18th of
June. Full details will appear in an
early issue.

SESSION HERE
State Convention Meet at Third
Ward Fire House Next Sunday
to Discuss Convention Here
WILL ARRANGE PROGRAM

American Legion members from
every nook and Granny of New Jersey
will gather at Wildwood Sunday,
May 9Th, to discuss plans and details
of the Annual State Convention of
the American Legion, which is to be
held in Wildwood this year, thanks to
the efforts of Mayor w. Courtright
Smith, Commander Alfred Winter
burn, Harry F. Greaves, Elmer ]. Sin
namon, William Woods and Harry
Weir, of the Legion, and the delegates
of the American Legion Auxiliary who
attended the last State Convention at
Lake Hopatcong.
These delegates drove to that resort
or went by train and worked heroic
ally to bring home the bacon to their
city. They brought it and Harry Late,
Of the Observation-Disclosures, is
still grumbling that Wildwood COPIED
three of his pet conventions. The
other two are the Hotelmen's conven-
ton and the Motion Picture conven-
ton.
The Legion Committee will gather
at the Third Ward Fire House Hall
at two o'clock Sunday. Sam Loveman,
chairman State Convention Commit
tee, and Miss Louise Curry, state
president of the American Legion
Auxiliary, will be among them. 1t is
expected that from 95 to As members
will be present and some of the num-
Der will arrive Saturday evening.
This convention will be of major
Importance to Wildwood, not alone to
the Legion, as the delegates number
ing close to a thousand will come
from every section of the state and
will carry the news of their reception
back to their own home towns. The
impression they get while here will
work future good or i'll, according to
their reception and entertainment
while here.
The former soldiers and sailors are
good boosters and can knock as well,
so that Byron Pennington Croker Post
is anxious to accord the visitors the
'best ever time, and if they succeed
the good advertising thus gotten will
stand out more because of the vile
treatment accorded them last year at
Lake Hopatcong.
There is much to be done, and after
the Sunday meeting the local Post
expects to get into action and prepare
to go over the top with a display Of
the old time spirit of Argonne, Bellue
Wood and st. Mihiel.

400 EXPECTED TO GO

-
Wildwood is all agog with prepare
tions for the second annual dinner
dance to be held at the Believer
Stratford under the auspices of the
Trustees of the Wildwood Golf Club
next Wednesday night, May 9th, at 6
o'clock. The special train will leave
Wildwood at 4 P. M. on the West Jer-
sey and Seashore Railroad.
In order to give employers and en-
ployees opportunity to attend this
great advertising and get-together
event at Philadelphia, Mayor Smith
issued last week a proclamation which
we reproduce on another page this
week.
The proclamation requests mer-
chants to close their business places
at two o'clock to enable everyone to
get ready.
Go As You Please
One of the most mooted questions
regarding the banquet is whether it
is formal or informal, and Shall we
wear full dress, tuxedos or business
suits?" We are happy to say that the
most of the folks who have signified
their intention Of being among those
present have declared emphatically for
business dress, and there is no doubt
that most of us will be attired COM
fortably and as usually seen doing
businesses about town. There will be
however, quite a large and noticeable
group of folk in full dress, and if
everyone has as good a time as pre-
dicted it will be a happy crowd going
to Philadelphia, in Philadelphia and
returning to Wildwood.
Speech Making Short
Another feature which will please
the diners will be the speakers, the
principals of whom are Congressman
Jay Raymond, Mayor W. Courtright
Smith, Senator William H. Bright, B.
c. Forbes, editor of Forbes Magazine,
and one other to be announced later.
Possibly as pleasing is the fact that
all of the speakers have been request
ed to MAKE it short, please" The
dance will follow the speaking and
entertainment. The entertainment
features are arranged and we have
the information that they will be
really entertaining and that boresome
proceedings will be conspicuously alb
sent at our dinner this year.
The Yellow taxicabs will again be
on hand to carry the entire trainload
of folk to the hotel, and they will be
placarded to tell the o%nlookers what
it is all about. A mounted police es-
cort will also be given through the
courtesy of the Police Department of
Philadelphia.
Tickets are being sold OF the streets
at business locations and everywhere.
Everyone is urged to get their tickets
early so that the arrangements can be
completed for everyone's comfort and
pleasure.
The dinner will be given this year in
the ball room which seats 1000.
