very closely allied to the history of

the lodge to the Young Women's
Christian Association to hold in trust
for the I. o. C. Club until 1t had

a similar course. which means, in
frank terms. to throw the league over
board and substitute a regional pact.
If France should follow suit, the
league would disappear as a real fac

peace.
France Eager for Peace.
But will France consent? The
question is still open. On the face Of
the situation one would say not. But
France fs passionately eager for peace
and, strange as it may seem, for any
settlement with Germany which
might give any promise of her own
security. The political leaders who
control France today. and their hold
has been strengthened by the recent
municipal elections, would certainly
consent If they could get a satisfac-
tory guarantee from Britain and
Austen Chamberlain, before he went
to Geneva to do the protocol to death,
advocated such a guarantee. A salts
factory British guarantee and an
advantageous German commercial
treaty, along with the German secur-
ity pact. might just turn the trick,
particularly as Belgium. France s
western ally, is tending rapidly to-
ward the British view.

A. HARRY AND JIMMY
MOORE ADDRESS Fl.
Lee DEMOCRATS
Mayor White, Too, Tells of Bor-
ough's Needs and Pleads
for Support.

The Democrats of Fort Lee held one
of the most enthusiastic mass meet
ings of many years at the Fort Lee
Theatre on last Tuesday night.
The theatre was jammed to the
doors when A. Harry Moore, the ear
ly part of the evening, arose and de-
livered a very fine address which was
received with applause and cheers.
James D. Moore was the keynoter
for the local candidates, Mayor White,
James McNally and Philip Lahm, To-
cal Democratic candidates.
He rose to heights with oratory in
behalf of the head of the local ticket,
Mayor White, and told of the neces-
sity of his election for another two
year term. Mr.. Moore told of what
task it was to get Mr.. White to con-
sent to run and said he deserved ev-
cry voters support. The speaker
drew contrast between the two can
didates without casting any unkind
reflections and ended by saying if he
were in business and had the chance
of employing either one as an execu-
tive he would choose Edward White.
Mayor White followed Jimmy"
Moore, and in dignified and modest
manner appealed for voters driving
home the thought that his experience
and ability would be of service to Fort
Lee especially at this time. He spoke
also in behalf of his running mates,
Tom McNally and Philip Lahm.

.PRATTLE OF DOUBTERS CANNOT
HINDER PROGRESS OF MACKAY
HUDSON RIVER BRIDGE AT Fl. LEE
Barges of Port Authority Now Anchored in River Near
Washington Heights Making Borings; Condition of
River Bed Considered o. X. for Piers by Some
Authorities; People Can Help by Believing in Project

Everyone in this immediate section
is of course interested in the pro-
posed Mackay Hudson River Bridge
that will within a comparatively
short time span the historic river be-
tween Washington Heights and Fort
Lee.
With every movement of this kind
there are always knockers, doubters
and those who try to throw cold
water on the proposition without be-
ing familiar with facts.
A case where certain parties just
this past week characterized the
bridge talk as "bosh" and denied the
value of such a structure has come
to the attention of the Palasadian.
For twenty years this paper has be-
lieved that some day the bridge
would be reality and so stated hun
dreds of times. That day Ia nearer
than most people realize. Foolish
talk of negative nature can not
stop it.
Today barges of the port authority
are anchored in the Hudson off Wash
ington Heights where borings are be-
ing made. A resident engineer, Mr..
Robt. Hoppen, has an office ON Main
street in Fort Lee. All these are in
dications that the bridge is coming
soon.
In talk with Mr.. Trip of the resi-
dent engineers office this week the
Palisadian representative gained
some information concerning the gen.
eral condition of the rever bed.
On the New York side Is solid rock
known as the Manhattan schist that
presumably extends very far down.
On the Jersey side the trap rock of
the Palisades extends to the waters
edge. Under the water there Is a
layer of shale approximately 10 feet
thick under which is sandstone. Be-
low the sandstone is the important
substance known as, limestone. This
is the condition near the shore. Far
ther out silt or river mud In varying
depths forms a covering for the rock
beneath.
Although no report ON the borings
AoHo yet UCSu Hiduc IL is tuo OpiutoH
of reliable authorities that the river
bed at 17Sth street is suitable to sup
port piers and cofferdams.
A mamomth organization to en-
brace New York and New Jersey will
soon be formed to give moral and
physical support to the bridge and
everything indicates the erection of
the bridge at FIT. Lee in the imme-
diate future.
The part the people can play Is to
silence the alarmists and the skeptics
and have faith in the idea. Think it,
talk it and stand up for it.
The bridge WILL be built.

Two Auto Accidents
In Fort Lee Borough
Over Last Week End

Fort Lee had two automobile ac-
cidents over the weekend. No one
was seriously injured, although the
machines were badly damaged.
A car driven by John H. Smith,
of &c Bassett street, New Haven,
Conn.,, and having as passengers Ed
ward Broderick, 127 Park street, and
Margaret Flynn, of 2S Hine street,
West Haven, Conn, was struck by a
trolley car in charge Of Motorman j.
Cavanough, at Palisade avenue, Fort
Lee. The machine was proceeding
south on the avenue, while the trolley
was going west. The three automo-
bilists were treated for cuts from fly
ing glass, broken when the trolley and
the auto collided. After having the
wounds dressed, the men were per-
mitted to continue on their way. The
case will be heard before Judge Ennis
in the Fort Lee police court.
During the heavy rain, Saturday
night, machines driven by D. ]. Van
Plarion of AZ Hudson street, Hacken-
sack, and Tucker H. Taylor, of First
street, Englewood, collided at the in
tersection of Route 10 and Anderson
avenue, Fort Lee.
Van Plarion was driving north on
Anderson avenue, while Taylor was
going west on the highway when the
machines crashed. The Van Plarion
machine turned a complete somer-
sault landing on the sidewalk. Miss
Davis, Teaneck, passenger in the
Taylor machine, received slight in
juries to her leg. No complaint was
made.

her. They also pledged themselves to
devote all their spare time until No

tive address of the women speakers,
those in attendance were introduced
to the local ndidates-Francis A.
