MADE
FOR CR|PPLES
Red Cross Asks for Funds to
Support Crippled Chill
dren'S Home

An appeal for funds is being made
to the people of Perth Amboy,
through the local Red Cross Chap
ter, for the support of the Crippled
Children's Home at Newark, who are
in need of financial aid in the great
work they are doing for the crippled
children of this vicinity.
For the past four years this insti-
tuition has given gratuitous treat
ment to over thirty-eight of Perth
Amboy's crippled kiddies. In some
cases operations were necessary and
these were performed without cost.
Plaster casts were given some of the
children and others allowed to stay
at the hospital for weeks at a time
receiving treatment.
Taking these children to the New
ark hospital was done by the Red
Cross chapter, which arranged a car
once a week and made the trip with
the average of about five children
every Friday. Many of the children
were cured entirely of their DISABLE
tty and in all cases vast Improve
ment was evidenced.
All of this work for the local dis
abled tots was done without cost to
the child or his parents. and at this
time that institution, being in need
of financial aid, has asked the people
of this city, through the Red Cross,
to help them in their appeal.
Anyone who wishes to contribute
to the good cause and to the institu-
ton by which this city has benefited,
are requested to send their donations
to the local Red Cross chapter at
the Raritan building, or send them
direct to the Crippled Children's
Home at Newark. The Red Cross
here have contributed 500 toward
the support Of the hospital, and asks
if anyone is going to send their
donations direct to the home that
they be informed of the same.

APPLEBY URGES
CHINA ACTION
Former Congressman Home
From Orient Tells of Train
HoId-up by Bandits

That something must be done in
China at once by outside powers to
prevent a recurrence Of such an
episode as the recent train holdup by
bandits, was the opinion expressed
by former Congressman 7. Frank
Appleby following a trip through
China and over the same railroad on
which the holdup occurred. Mr..
Appleby characterized the outrage as
the most impudent case of banditry
that has happened in China" and as
serted that steps must be taken, mot
only to save this important Repub-
lie from further falling into deca-
dence but also to protect an impor-
tant juncture of the international
highway linking Picking and Shang-
hal.
Mr.. Appleby points out that the
bandit outrage and the subsequent
failure Of the Picking Government
speedily to release American and Eu-
ropean CaptiVes most strikingly dis
closed the fact that China is power
less to govern herself and is devoid
Of ability as a sovereign state. Mr..
Appleby said that he desired that
something be Jointly done by Amer
lea. England and Japan in China to
save the latter from further falling
into degeneration.
The services of the Tientsin-Su-
kow Railway, said Mr.. Appleby, who
has Travelled a great deal, is the
finest of any line on which he a
ever Travelled and he declared that
he considered this railroad excels on
more than one point, some or n
- Upes in the Tinted States or Eu-
Mr.. Appleby is accompanied
ON his trip by Mrs. Appleby and Mr..
aud Mrs. Charles P. Myer. These
fonr Americans were among the first
group of foreigners who Travelled on
the Tientsin-Sukow Railway aIter
the bandit outrage occurred.

Rr the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LYNCHBURG, Va, July Am un-
known negro early today broke the
lock on the postal transfer building
at the union station here while
watchman was asleep inside and
made off with a pouch of registered
mail while scores of persons looked
on. unaware of what was happening.
The pouch had arrived from the city
post office only a few minutes before
and was being held in the transfer
building until the arrival of west
bound train, which pulled into the
station as the robber made his get
away.
The robbery occurred at o'clock
this morning when many persons
were in the station awaiting Norfolk
and Western passenger train No. 15.
Several postal clerks were busy
around the transfer building at the
time. preparing mail for departure
on the train and paid little attention
to the negro when he walked off with
the pouch on his back. The negro
porter left in the building to watch
robbers movements in breaking the
lock and removing the bag of regis
tered mail from pile nearby.
Post Office Inspector n. E. Murray
and four city detectives soon were
on the scene, but the only trace
they could find of the man was that
he was seen to leave the station and
turn into 9Th street, where the trail
was lost. Post office authorities are
checking up to determine the amount
of loot obtained.

AWAIT FORMAL NOTICE.
q. S. Officials Have Known of En-
barrassment to Japan.

BY the Associated Press.
Word that Japanese naval attaches
have been instructed to sound out
the United States and Great Britain
on the advisability of entering into
tripartite agreement for making ef-
fective the Washington naval treaty
failed to develop any official COM
ment here today. and 1t was said that
inasmuch as the instructions had not
reached the Japanese embassy, any
official discussion would be prema-
ture.
Just how actively the proposal will
be pressed Immediately is a matter
of speculation In some circles in view
of recent dispatches from Paris that
progress toward French ratification
of the treaty Is looked for within the
next two weeks
1t Is regarded as probable that these
advices had not reached Toxic when
instructions were issued to the at
.taches. although at the same time 1t
Is admitted that they were not of
sufficient detail to make entirely clear
what steps are contemplated by Pre-
mier Poincare.
Delay Embnrrasses Japan.
1t has been. known for! some time
that the situation created by the de-
lay of France in ratify!ng has been
especially embarrassing to Japan, be-
cause of the uncertainty it has given
her naval program.
1t has been understood for months
that discussion of some such step
could be ultimately expected among
the three major naval powers In the
event that the French chamber of
deputies failed to give its assent to
the treaty.
Although officials have consistently
declined to discuss this possibility
and have at all times reiterated their
confidence that France would in due
time complete the ratification, there
have been indications that at least
Japan, the United States and Great
Britain would not permit the treaty
to die without a most serious discus
sion of a special agreement to place
Ii in effect as between themselves
