Of the city. He has no end of per-
sonal acquaintance, but up until last

follows:

Barkalow's intimate friends said
last night that even they were as
much in the dark on just what jim
mie did to gain recognition as was
the rest of the city. An effort was
made last night at the smoker to
have Barkalow tell Of the deed. but
.fruitless was the pier from his bud
dies of the Legion.
A Legion man. who refused to di-
vulge his name, told a News repre-
sentative last night, that he was in
a way familiar with the Barkalow
case. Using his words he said:
ut was a case of extreme bravery.
II seemed that on that particular
night in question. a volunteer was
asked to see what could be done at
the famous hill No. 24O. A machine
gun, as well as other trench mortars
were playing havoc in that section
and much loss of life was due to
the activities at that point. Barka-
low was in the party.
THE enemy spied the company
proceeding toward them and imme-
diately took steps to thwart the
movements. Much loss of life re-
suited. Barkalow. it was said feign-

Mt ON BUSES
At SO. AMB0Y
Flood of Complaints From
People Residing Along Line
Situation Regarded Serious

SOUTH AMBOY, May 4.-The bus
situation in this city since the be-
Ginning of the year and especially at
lis time has caused not a little un-
easiness, not alone to the council,
Which is flooded with complaints
and to the bus operators, but to the
PATRONS of the various lines. In the
beginning it was necessary for the
police TO take a hand in the matter
of running on schedule time. Now
1t is a question of routes.'
From the many stories gathered
from the various bus operators ell
fected by the time schedules 1t seems
that there is a tendency on the part
of the drivers to make the time be-
tweey the starting of the buses
mucW longer by stalling about the
ropse. The result generally means
tfal the schedule is thrown to the
s6inds and buses run at random.
10 eliminate the trouble it is sug-
sested that the time set as the start
from the Maxfield section. as we'll as
from the corner of Main street be
81hered to by every bus driver.
The police department In an effort
q, end the controversy, has ar Off
F tI 1ldliOICu dl lliS " hNl VI
Street and Stevens avenue timing all
buses. The tardy drivers we're Civ
en- summons. but no record of any
lines for the offenses is on record.
The police, however. have straigh-
tened to no little extent the running
schedule.
The Hole in the Wall is closed for
the much needed r~ejuvenation and
the buses must through necessity,
takex.a different route. Patrons say
thatSS take you almost around
the icGntry. Over all kinds of rough
roads They only Charge you ten
cents, but you lose more Out of your
pockets by the jolting. You don't
have to dig for your dime, the driver
has it off the floor. long before you
have a mind to pay"
At any rate. no one seems to know
just where a bus is going because Of
the various routes taken. Councilman
Connors in an effort to clarity the
situation, asked that the route be
designated as across Broadway to
First street. west to Stevens avenue,
and north to Main street, thence to
