The local Red Cross Chapter is co- operating with the National _Move- ment for a Red Cross Christmas Roll Call, the purpose of which, expressed In the fewest possible words, is to see that every man and woman through- out the United States, has the oppor- tunity to join the Red Cross or to re- new his or her membership. Nothing short of universal membership is the goal, A 1919 Red Cross membership SCHOOL SESSIONS 15 MINUTES LONGER , button is, to be given to 1 each person kept the «nemy at bay until 'night, enrolling, as well as a Red Cross / when they returned bringing in the three and the gun." A lettey written to his parents dat- ed October 8, describes his activities very modestly in the battle which re- sulted in'so many Summit men ia the 107th raiment making the Supreme Sacrifice: The letter in part follows: Now i; will give you a little account of whaij we have been doing since my letter of about September 26th, We left the place where we had been Ramping about that time on a Tuesday morning and hiked about five mile^ and then entrained, We rode until about three o'clock Wednesday moiming, through territory recently recaptured from the Germans and the gr'ound certainly showed the^eftects of ttte fighting, / Wherever the railroad ran through -ja cut we could see deep dugouts in the banks made by the Germans. On both sides of the tracks stretched flat fields full of shell holes and littered with old guns, ruined tanks, busted aeroplanes and other wreckage of war. We passed through many small towns and some large cities, all,of hich had been shelled and reshelled until there was hardly a house stand- ing In any of them. Some of the peo- ple had moved back In tome of the larger places, but the small ones were pictures of utter desolation, and any one of them might have been the in- spiration for Goldsmith's "Deserted Village." We detrained about three o'clock Wednesday morning, hiked until about nine o'clock, and then pitched pup tents In a shell-torn field, near what had once been a village. We stayed until Friday noon, and then - started our final hike to the front. We took until five o'clock Saturday morn- ing to reach the trenches. The trip •hould have been finished by six o'clock Friday night, but the roads were so congested by troop and trans- port moving lip* for the drive, that we had to loaf along, walking half an hour and then being held up about an hour. We stayed in the trench all day Sat- urday. We were about 1700 yards from Fritz, and he kept firing shells, gas and machine gun bullets, but didn't bother us. We got orders about 9 o'clock Saturday night that we were to attack next morning, and we were very busy from then on getting ready. We started out about* two or two- thirty in the morning and went as far as we could with the limbers, then carried the guns and equipment up further until we were in an open.field and behind a little bank. This was where we were to start, so we settled down,,to wait for the hour to come when jpe were to go over, 1 fell asleep and woke up just about dawn, I woke up cold and for a min- ute I had a. sickening feeling as I realized what we were about to do, but almost immediately we heard our barrage start, and then got the order to go over. I will never forget the.scene; there was a slight rise in front of us, and. as we started up at a walk it was just light, with* a mist over everything; I could see our own infantry advancing in wave formation in front of me, and over the hill I could Bee all different colored lights and rockets going up from Fritz's lines. These were his S, O. S, signals, calling for a counter barj*»e to protect him. Almost im- mediately his machine guns opened aiflre on ua, ana this flre increased an we went-on. Suddenly some Fritzies appeared on the skyline with their hands up. They - were some that had possibly been sur- prised and scared by our barrage and gave up Immediately. They were sent to the rear without guard; some of them were hit on the way and the advance went on Btdadlly. , dur Company was m formatioir of squad columns by platoons, the men lined up m single file behind the cor- porals. They-were advancing calmly and steadily, at ready started to drop. I know I had no sensation of fear whatever, but had a rapidly rising hatred for Frits and a desire to get at him, and I think we all felt the same way. . We would walk ahead about fifty or sixty yards, them drop into shell holes and! rest far a minute or so, (the gun eovipment wakes a lead tor O* men) get tan* and the* o* agate wawamt prtr th* crest el th* MB. thaav staita!

Peace does not end-tfie need of Red Cross relief wprKT On the contrary the proclaiming of peace opens new fields of-«ervice for the Red Cross and new7"""more than ever,* the American people will be called upon to obey their generous impulses to bind up the world's wounds, The Hospital Garments Committee are greatly in need of workers to en- able them to complete a large allot- ment of garments. The workrooms are open on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, The supervisor of knitted articles is also greatly in'need of knitters. The Committee has only recently accepted a large allotment consisting of socks and sweaters. Both of these Committees .are very much handicapped and embarrassed by the small number of workers. Hospital garments and knitted arti- cles are essential for the care and comfort of our soldiers and sailors. Here is a crying need! Will the com- munity respond? Bed Cross Nursing Survey, At the request of the Secretary of War and 4he Surgeon General of the army the local Red Cross Chapter has •undertaken to secure a full list of nurses resident in Summit, All per- sons who have had any kind of nurse's or attendant's training or experiences are asked to report at the Red Cross office, IB Beechwood road, and fill out a questionnaire, • The filling out of the questionnaire* does not involve war or government service. No obligation is placed on anyone. To enter war service it will be necessary to make out an entirely distinct application. This Survey has in mind especially the needs of the civilian population whichrts apt to suffer at a time when many trained nurses are volunteering their services for the Army, This is an especially opportune and urgent time to make an investigation of this character, The need for nurs- ing service is great.: Borne 7 women are able to give part time to this work in addition to their home duties. Many other women can give part time to nursing service in hospitals in their home towns. The Government is anx- ious to know where such women may be found. This .Survey will supply the information. Therefore will all those who have had any nurse's training please co- operate speedily with the Red Cross by filling out the questionnaire at an early date. AMERICAN RBI) CROSS, SUMMIT CHAPTER, Motor Corps Ambulance Burned In Fire, Mrs. Marguerite "WashiUgton, of Manor Farm, Morris turnpike, Sum- mit, drove into her estate at 6 p. m., Sunday, just as the garage and barns burst into flames. Mrs. Washington's house is in Milburn township just across the Summit line. It is against the rules of the Summit Fire, Depart- ment to go to fires out of their dis- trict unless they are called by the Fire Chief of the neighboring district and are paid $60,00. The Milburn Fire Department -is 4Mr miles distant from Mrs. Washington's house,* After a third call frouuMrs. Wash- ington the Summit Department agreed to come over and arrived about ten minutes after the Milburn Company. The nearest hydrant was on Summit avenue and the Milburn men were 160 feet short of hose so that no water was turned on until the Summit De- partment arrived. The gardener with his family were out driving and the houseman was off the place, but upon discovery of the School Commissioner Would Grant Citizenship Only to Those Foreigners Qua!* ifyitig on education < At a meeting of the Board of Educa- tion held on Monday evening, upon recommendation of Superintendent Sprague, fifteen minutes, were added to the school d^y in order to make up the time lost during the influenza epidemic. This will make the school period five hours a day, while in Mor- ristown, Westfield and South Orange it is ten to fifteen minutes longer. The mid-year and final examinations ware reduced to tw.o and one-half days each, Instead of five days as hereto- fore to help make up lost time which will be devoted to physical training. Mr. Sherwood commented on the work of the night school, and stated that in his opinion citizenship papers should only be granted to foreigners upon certificate showing that they had received the necessary instruction from such a school. As legislation upon such matters would be required by the national government no action was suggested, - Mr, Sprague reported for the United War Work campaign in the public schools, the total of which for the dis- trict was over $4,000, of which the Summit schools subscribed $2,800 the first day of the campaign. Mr. Sherwood called attention to the condition of the flag pole at the High School building and the question of repairs was referred' to, the com- mittee with power, -S Mr. ipeale for the Committee on Teachers, presented the resignation of Miss S. W. Daggett of the Domestic Science Department to take effect De- cember 18, in order to engage in Y. M, 0, A. war work. The resignation was accepted. Mr, Peale presented the report of John D. „ Hood, supervisor for the Special Committee on Public School Gardens, accompanied by a check for $8.26, the fee for assigning plots. The report showed in detail the work ac- complished and the interest taken. Received and filed and thanks of the Board extended to Mr. Hood, Mr. Nixon reported having attend- ed a meeting of the State Federation of Boards of Education at Trenton on November 30th, which was addressed by State Comptroller Newton K, Bui 1 - bee, and he was so impressed by the, address that he asked the indulgence of the Board for a few moments to read extracts from it, which was granted. Upon the conclusion of the reading a motion by Mr, Nixon was adopted heartily endorsing the senti- ments expressed in the admirable and interesting address of Mr, Bugbee. Mr. Gallagher presented the Sigh School curricula as prepared by Su- perintendent Sprague, and it was re- ferred to the Committee on State of the Schools, GIFT TO CAPT, SPABOHE, CONSIDER REQUEST OF ELECTRIC CO.

There has been a little delay in hav- ing the lamp^made, and fate decreed that it should be completed Just at the time when Capt. Spadone was being mustered out of United States service, having completed his course in the chemical warfare service at Camp Kendrick. N, J. friends of Mrs. Washington hurried to the barns to rescue the cow and an ambulance which had been given by the International Arms and Fuse Co. for use* in the Motor Corn* of Ameri- ca by Mrs. Washington who is a First Lieutenant tn that organisation.

X SEEK FUND FOR AMBULANCE BRITAIN'S DAY HERE TOMORROW In Mass Meeting Tomorrow Night Summit to Join in Nation's Tribute to Our Ally Herald Starts Campaign to Provide Very Necessary Equipment for Overlook Hospital B«ard In co-operation with the Board of Trustees of the Overlook Hospital As- sociation the HERALD is starting a campaign for funds to provide the hospital with a motor ambulance. For many years the need of a mo- tor ambulance for Overlook Hospital has been recognised, but not until the recent epidemic * of influenza was the urgent need of such a conveyance demonstrated. During that period if it had not been for the assistance ren- dered by R. M, Collin who voluntarily provided his service car, it would have been Impossible to have met the situa- tion. Speed and comfort are necessary to save life, and part of the equipment of every modern hospital is a motor am- bulance. Summit is proud of Over- look Hospital, a valuable community institution, but it has only a very antiquated horse-drawn ambulance. In order to make the institution count for greater good in the territory it serves, a motor ambulance must be provided. Overlook Hospital has ceased to be a private Institution, and the public Is now responsible for its manage- ment and efficiency, and must provide the necessary equipment to make it still more useful, ' It is estimated that the amount needed to purchase a fully equipped car will be about $2,000. The HER- ALD has agreed to present this matter to the people of Summit, conduct the campaign and receive the a subscrip- tions and report on them in each week's issue. The HERALD appeals to every citi- zen who can possibly do so, to con- tribute toward this object with the liberality so characteristic of Summit. While large amounts will be welcome the subscription should be a popular one made up of a large number of small gifts. Make checks payable to the Herald Ambulance Fund, and mail to the HERALD, 375 Springfield avenue, Summit. MEMORIAL FOB SUMMIT MEN, Mayor Appoints Committee to Start Movement for Fitting Tribute, Mayor Franklin has appointed a "Preliminary Committee" to take up the matter of beginning a movement for the placing in Summit of some proper and. fitting memorial or testi- monial of Summit's work in the Great War, and more particularly of her men and women who participated. This "Preliminary Committee" is comprised as follows: Francis H. Bergen, Thomas M. Debevoise, Oliver B, Merrill, Mrs. Lester Bradner, Mrs. Parker W. Page, William H, Swain, J, Franklin Haas and F. Walter Law- rence. "I am asking this Committee to meet at once," said Mayor Franklin, "It is my thought that It should act as a preliminary administrative com- mittee, to get this matter started; and that in due course it should add to its number as it may deem wise. I shall take the liberty of suggesting that a treasurer be named ImmedfiateTy^ and steps taken to afford opportunity for a simple way for people to subscribe to a fund to be used for the purpose in hand, I think that there should not be any '"drive," or similar solicitation, for contributions, I think pretty much every Individual in Summit will want to give something, in a purely volun- tary manner.

I would like to see every organization In town represented at such a meeting; many have already offered co-operation. In any event, the first Important thing is t started; and thing Is to endeavor to choose wisely the permanent and fitting form that this expression of Summit's patriotism and gratitude shall take^ I look to see Summit do something really not- able and worthy of our best tradi- tions; and I gladly pledge all personal effort on my part to assist in every way that I can."

A lettey written to his parents dat­ed October 8, describes his activities very modestly in the battle which re­sulted in ' so many Summit men ia the 107th r a i m e n t making the Supreme Sacrifice: The letter in part follows:

Now i; will give you a little account of whaij we have been doing since my let ter of about September 26th,

We left the place where we had been Ramping about that time on a Tuesday morning and hiked about five m i l e ^ and then entrained, We rode un t i l about three o'clock Wednesday moiming, through territory recently recaptured from the Germans and the gr'ound certainly showed the^eftects of ttte fighting, / Wherever the railroad ran through

-ja cut we could see deep dugouts in the banks made by the Germans. On both sides of the tracks stretched flat fields full of shell holes and littered with old guns, ruined tanks, busted aeroplanes and other wreckage of war.

We passed through many small towns and some large cities, a l l ,of

hich had been shelled and reshelled until there was hardly a house stand­ing In any of them. Some of the peo­ple had moved back In tome of the la rger places, but the small ones were pictures of ut ter desolation, and any one of them might have been the in­spiration for Goldsmith's "Deserted Village."

We detrained about three o'clock Wednesday morning, hiked until about nine o'clock, and then pitched pup tents In a shell-torn field, near what had once been a village. We stayed until Friday noon, and then

- started our final hike to the front. We took until five o'clock Saturday morn­ing to reach the trenches. The tr ip •hould have been finished by six o'clock Friday night, but the roads were so congested by troop and t rans­port moving lip* for the drive, that we had to loaf along, walking half an hour and then being held up about an hour.

We stayed in the trench all day Sat­urday. We were about 1700 yards from Fri tz , and he kept firing shells, gas and machine gun bullets, but didn't bother us. We got orders about 9 o'clock Saturday night that we were to attack next morning, and we were very busy from then on getting ready. We started out about* two or two-thir ty in the morning and went as far as we could with the limbers, then carried the guns and equipment up further until we were in an open.field and behind a little bank. This was where we were to start , so we settled down,,to wait for the hour to come when jpe were to go over,

1 fell asleep and woke up just about dawn, I woke up cold and for a min­ute I had a. sickening feeling as I realized what we were about to do, but almost immediately we heard our barrage start , and then got the order to go over.

I will never forget the.scene; there was a slight r ise in front of us, and. as we started up at a walk it was just light, with* a mis t over everything; I could see our own infantry advancing in wave formation in front of me, and over the hill I could Bee all different colored lights and rockets going up from Fritz 's lines. These were his S, O. S, signals, calling for a counter barj*»e to protect him. Almost i m ­mediately his machine guns opened

aiflre on ua, ana this flre increased an we went-on.

Suddenly some Fritzies appeared on the skyline with their hands up. They

- were some that had possibly been sur­prised and scared by our barrage and gave up Immediately. They were sent to the r ea r without guard; some of them were hi t on the way and the advance went on Btdadlly. ,

d u r Company was m formatioir of squad columns by platoons, the men lined up m single file behind the cor-

• porals . They-were advancing calmly and steadily, at ready started to drop. I know I had no sensation of fear whatever, but had a rapidly rising hatred for F r i t s and a desire to get at him, and I think we all felt the same way. .

We would walk ahead about fifty or sixty yards, them drop into shell holes and! rest far a minute or so, (the

The Hospital Garments Committee are greatly in need of workers to en­able them to complete a large allot­ment of garments. The workrooms are open on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday,

The supervisor of knitted articles is also greatly in 'need of knitters. The Committee has only recently accepted a large allotment consisting of socks and sweaters.

Both of these Committees .are very much handicapped and embarrassed by the small number of workers. Hospital garments and knitted art i­cles are essential for the care and comfort of our soldiers and sailors. Here is a crying need! Will the com­munity respond?

Bed Cross Nursing Survey,

At the request of the Secretary of War and 4he Surgeon General of the army the local Red Cross Chapter has •undertaken to secure a full list of nurses resident in Summit, All per­sons who have had any kind of nurse 's or attendant's t raining or experiences are asked to report at the Red Cross office, IB Beechwood road, and fill out a questionnaire, •

The filling out of the questionnaire* does not involve war or government service. No obligation is placed on anyone. To enter war service it will be necessary to make out an entirely distinct application.

This Survey has in mind especially the needs of the civilian population whichrts apt to suffer at a time when many trained nurses are volunteering their services for the Army,

This is an especially opportune and urgent time to make an investigation of this character, The need for nurs­ing service is great.: Borne7 women are able to give par t time to this work in addition to their home duties. Many other women can give part time to nursing service in hospitals in their home towns. The Government is anx­ious to know where such women may be found. This .Survey will supply the information.

Therefore will all those who have had any nurse's t raining please co­operate speedily with the Red Cross by filling out the questionnaire at an early date.

Herald Starts Campaign to Provide Very Necessary Equipment for Overlook

Hospital B«ard In co-operation with the Board of

Trustees of the Overlook Hospital As­sociation the HERALD is starting a campaign for funds to provide the hospital with a motor ambulance.

For many years the need of a mo­tor ambulance for Overlook Hospital has been recognised, but not until the recent epidemic * of influenza was the urgent need of such a conveyance demonstrated. During that period if it had not been for the assistance ren­dered by R. M, Collin who voluntarily provided his service car, it would have been Impossible to have met the situa­tion.

Speed and comfort are necessary to save life, and part of the equipment of every modern hospital is a motor am­bulance. Summit is proud of Over­look Hospital, a valuable community institution, but it has only a very antiquated horse-drawn ambulance. In order to make the institution count for greater good in the territory it serves, a motor ambulance must be provided.

Overlook Hospital has ceased to be a private Institution, and the public Is now responsible for its manage­ment and efficiency, and must provide the necessary equipment to make it still more useful, '

It is estimated that the amount needed to purchase a fully equipped car will be about $2,000. The HER­ALD has agreed to present this matter to the people of Summit, conduct the campaign and receive the a subscrip­tions and report on them in each week's issue.

The HERALD appeals to every citi­zen who can possibly do so, to con­tribute toward this object with the liberality so characteristic of Summit. While large amounts will be welcome the subscription should be a popular one made up of a large number of small gifts.

Make checks payable to the Herald Ambulance Fund, and mail to the HERALD, 375 Springfield avenue, Summit.

We kept going ahead by compass , but finally had to s top and wai t in a shel l hole for the smoke to blow over, When it finally c l ea red I w a s wi th a s e rgean t and abou t ten men from my p la toon; we cou ldn ' t "see ou r own -

BIG WELCOME TO ! MAJORLAWRENCE

Highland Club's Honor Quest at Victory Dinner—Aus=

tralian Sergeant Tells , Stirring Story

A right royal, hearty welcome to Major WHllara H, Lawrence on hla re­turn from France was extended by Summit men at a Victory Dinner at the Highland Club last Saturday night, Such a brilliant scene has not been staged at the Highland Club •inee the farewell dinner given to the Major on June 30th the eve of hla de­parture front Summit with Ambulance Co, NOi 33 which he "'had organized,

Mr, Frank L, Crawford, who was one of the speakers at that dinner just •Ighteen months ago to the day, made the address of welcome at las t Sat-mrday'a event, Mr. Crawford skill­fully pictured America at war and •haracterized the spirit of the Ameri­can soldier in service. Then he told of Maj. Lawrence having organized Ambulance Co, No, 33 here, and prais­ed him highly for his patriotism, ef­ficiency and professional attainments. Major Lawrence became the bead of the surgical work of an army division.

Mr, Crawford's announcement that Maj, Lawrence intended to resume hla practice here and that Summit people would have the privilege of renewing "our Intimate relations with him," was greeted with great enthusiasm, "May he live long and prosper," said Mr, Crawford.

Major Lawrence responded briefly to the noisy welcome accorded him. He seemed to prefer not to talk much abouts his experiences. His words were all in praise of the men in Am­biance Co, No. 33, "They have made good," he said.

He told how they helped out the marines a t Chateau Thierry, When he asked for thirty volunteers for an especially' dangerous mission, Maj, Lawrence; said every man in the com­pany stepped forward. He told them the reason they were being called on to help the 2nd division was because of the. heavy casualties among,* the stretcher bearers in that division. Then the 4th division to which he was mttacjhed came into action and the comipany was In continuous work un­til August 1st, They then went to the St.i'Mlhiel salient with the French and then to the Argonne and taken out finally October 6,

Out of "33" one has received the D, S. C. and another will receive It, while a third was cited in a French com­munique for bravery. Of particular interest were the words of praise he had for "Bobby" Lyon, so well known to Highland Club members. Maj, Lawrence said he had been a par­ticularly helpful and efficient worker.

Maj. Lawrence announced hia in­tention of making every effort to bring the Ambulance Co, back very •eon.

The speech of the evening was made

by Sergeant Alexander Cobraugh, of the 1st Australian Army Division. Sergeant Cobraugh tells a wonderful story of Australia's rallying to Great Britain's call, of the war spirit In his comrades, of the brave fight they put up in the disastrous Galllpoll cam­paign, ' It 1H impossible -to describe second hand the horrors and out-rajrt'H committed "by the Turks under Gorman leadership, nor the wonder­ful work conducted of all the allied troops in that terrible campaign, but Sergeant Cobraugh without the- least mincing of wdrds told a story which stirred the hearts of every man In the room. Most touching was his, tribute

try (Col. Sheldon), Subject: Capture of Grand Pre. 1. In an order recently issued by

the Division Commander he stated in part as follows: "The Division Com­mander congratulates most fully the 154th Infantry Brigade upon its brill­iant action of the 10th instant, in the capture of the town of Grand Pre." It is only fair to say that the capture of Grand Pre was due almost wholly to the 307th Infantry, In an indorse­ment to the Division Commander, for­warding the report of the regimental commander of the 307th Infantry, on the capture * of this town, I said amongst other thing^; "Col. Sheldon,

to the Red Cross nurse and to "France (his officers and men are entitled to the the hero of the war," i highest praise and commendation for

Lieut, Louis Bayard of the French successfully carrying out their mis-army spoke a few words of tribute to 's lon, under extreme difficulties, which America on behalf of his countrymen,! I thought for a time to be Impossible,"

Mayor Ruford Franklin gave one of ! and "on the part of the 307th Inf. its his characteristic three-minute-pep- 'mission was well and I may even say and-glnger speeches. He was follow­ed by an old favorite of the Highland Club, Judge Russell of New York.

The success of the dinner was due largely to the splendid work of the committee In charge: H , ' H . McAlli­ster, A, G. Schearer, W. C, Wdodhull, and J, S. Wiley, who served as toast-master,

PRAISE FOB 807th lOTANTBTf,

Summit Man Colonel of Regiment Capturing Grand Pre ,

i The capture of the town of Grand Pre on October 15-18 was effected by the 807th Infantry (a New York regi­ment) under command of Colonel Raymond Sheldon, G. S„ of Summit, and made the first break in the fam­ous Kremhllde-Stalllng line of which the place was a pivotal stronghold.

The attacking force was confronted with an unfordable river which was successfully crossed under hostile ma­chine gun and shell Are after which a barrag«&of enemy fire was passed and the regiment fought its way for­ward into the streets. There they were met by a storm of bullets from machine guns placed in the windows of a building showing large Red Cross signs and in a church tower. Both buildings were ordered demolish­ed and were quickly made untenable,

After more than twenty-four hours of severe fighting, with fluctuating fortunes, the regiment finally drove the enemy from the town and organ­ized it for defense. About thirty ma­chine guns and forty unwounded prisoners were taken.

The following order, containing comments of the generals command­ing the Hth Division and the 164th Brigade, to which the 307th Infantry Is attached, was published shortly af­ter the operation:

Headquarters 307th Infantry, 26th October, 1918.

General Orders No. 2

1. The following letter from the Brigade Commander is published for the Information of all officers and men of the Regiment;

"Headquarters 154th Inf, Brigade, American B. F,, 24th Oct., 1918.

From: The Commanding General (Gen. Johnson),

To: Commanding Officer 807th In-

brilllantly executed," Too much cred It cannot be given for the leadership and energy which you personally dis­played and for the intelligent conduct of your officers and bravery of your men In the accomplishment of this most difficult operation, I request that this letter be publlehed_lo your command,

(Signed) Evan M, Johnson, Brigadier General, Commanding."

2. The Regimental Commander -warmly congratulates all officers ,and men upon their successful attack on, and capture of the town of Grand Pre, October 15th and 16th, 1918. The op­eration, which Involved the passage of an unfordable river, wire entangle­ments, and other obstacles, in the face of heavy machine gun, rifle, trench-mortar, and" shell Are, - over open ground, was most creditably and bravely executed.

HEALTH NOTES.

The Price of Health in Constant YlgUance,

NO. 2, DECEMBER 6, 1918, Health la the most important of all

possessions. To secure and maintain health it is ne~celsary to know what Ifl best for health, and to avoid or put away that which Is opposed to health.

This is the age of achievement—the prevention of disease, rather than al­lowing them to develop. To try to 1 help nature after it has become need­lessly handicapped, is little in compari- i son.

The best service a Health Board can render is to promote health means, and to protect health. When an Individual ] violates nature's law;" or by accident: has acquired a disease, he becomes a I charge for his doctor. The Health | Board is then powerless to act unless ! the disease la communicable, and then I for the protection of the community, j

It Is practically impossible to draw ] a line where thnags cease to be good, i and where they begin to be bad, I t Is ; therefor best to stay well within the boundary of what is known to be safe, ' To Illustrate; an innocent harmless brick, outBldeof being a physical blem­ish to its surroundings, may not be a source of disease per se, but who can tell bow soon it may lodge something that is infected and In that way be­come a danger, A piece of banana pealing Is harmless in itself, but it may take a human life, break a limb, or cause some other bodily Injury.

The impression on the nervous sys­tem through the eye is far more pro­nounced than that produced through any other sense organ. Who has not seen or pictured In his mind's eye, a small cottage, attractively painted, the yards and gardens clean, and every­thing about the place the acme of or­derliness. Such a home Is health-giv­ing and fills one with admiration, It means Its possessors are industrious, frugal, clean living, healthy, content­ed, and happy.

I t Is of more importance to impress with the means necessary for health and success throughout life, than it is to prevent disease a few days or weeks hence. Children should be taught the importance of order, and there is no better way than to have them keep the yards clear of all forms of litter and putting things In the place especially provided for them. Money cannot buy the benefit and blessings of orderliness which the parents can give their chil­dren by schooling them in this way, Young people well grounded In order­liness and cleanliness, are well pre­pared to meet life. Without, it they are apt to squander a fortune, If one i.s left them, and later forced to live under the heavy handicap caused by neglect In early training.

On the whole this Is a beautiful city of orderly well kept homes, but there are a number of places whose occu­pants were unfortunately denied the orderly home making early training and It is necessary to have their yards, streets, and alleys cleaned before freezing weather. Refuse of all kinds that lit ter the ground obstructs the flow of water after a rain or melting snow, and hold the germs that have been washed out of the air or collected on the ground. When water or snow is held long from any cause, disease becomes prevalent. A badly kept place is not only a danger to its occu­pants, but to the orderly homes sur­rounding i t as well.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER «, 1918.

Summit residents ought to turn out » t the mass meeting in the T. M. 0. A. to-morrow night in big numbers to do Sionor to Great Britain's achievements in the Great War. America owes a great debt to Britain for her powerful part in downing the hosts of t Kaiser, and we, as loyal Americans in Summit, should show our apprecia­tion hi this community celebration; As we fhom3red"France on Bastille Day so should we honor Britain on itbls day set apart for the purpose.

H6N0B FOB ALL.

In these days when so much thor­oughly merited praise is heard of our men who fought in France, we ought aiot to forget to give credit to those •who volunteered for service, many of them early in the war, and yet were •detained far from the battle front on this side of the sea. Every man who wore the khaki iij this great enter-

. iprise is entitled to the honor due the soldier ready and willing to die for 4tls country. Those who fought will always be acclaimed by their tellow-•citizens for having actually partici­pated in the greatest adventure the world has ever known, and they will "he known for all time as veterans of a

~"Hecisive war for the liberties "of'man-' kind and for truth, justice and right.

^ T h o s e who lost their lives will be re-Aferded among the list of the world's heroes and their names will be hon­ored and venerated for all time. But jthose who stood ready, full armored

sand equipped,-to go^„ whenever <> the nCommajtrl came, are likewise to be jnumbereci among their country's act­u a l defenders and to be allowed to write their names as among those who offered their lives for the deliv­erance of civilization from a gigantic menace, -' A Summit boy who has been in the Came from the start but has spent all his time in a southern camp has sent us the following verses on the subject: WHY I BKSEBVB A "CBOnC D I

* GUEBBB." —

An interesting article by our fellow-townsman, Mr. Hermann de Selding, on the matter of an inland water way through the Atlantic Coast States, is republished on page two. Mr, de Selding represented the City of New York at a recent" convention on. the proposition in Boston. His interview oh this matter will interest his Sum­mit friends.

Hun is subdued and the Hoheneol-lerns have been overthrown Is the statement of F, D. L, Smith, editor of The Toronto Daily News, recently back from the war zone. Mr. Smith maintains that England has and is still bearing the biggest part of the war burden, and that but for the Grand Fleet Germany would have triumphed In the first few months and have made secure the world domina­tion which the Kaiser had dreamed was to be his.

"After four years .of a continuous exhausting war," he says, "Great Britain maintains in the field a larger army than that furnished by-, any of her allies. Any one who visits the western front at the beginning of the fifth year of the war must be impress­ed with the extent to which North­western France has become a British

English sentries mount guard in the towns of Calais and Boulogne-end along- the country roads far to the south and east. British'' troops are everywhere. Even in Rouen and cities further south the British khaki is more, common than the blue of France.

'•British airplanes, British ammuni­tion dumps, British transports, Brit­ish hospitals line the roads and oc­cupy the fields of France from the coast clear through to a line drawn north and south through Paris.

"Not only this, British armies also uphold the allied cause in half a score of other vital theatres of war—In Si­beria, in Mesopotamia, at Baku, on the Murman coast, on the pvina River, in German Hast Africa, Albania, Pal­estine, Italy and SalonikJ,

•The British people have borne pa-tlently; with unequaled determination, the burden of two vast wars, the one at sea and the other In ntany widely separated theatres on land.

"Since the beginning of the war 160 enemy submarines have been sunk, most of them by the British.

"One and a half million men are oc­cupied to-day in manning and main­taining the British Navy and merchant marine. --"BrfHshr hasHlost-*p8i7,000 tons of her precious shipping. The other Al­lies and neutrals have gained l,208i-OQ0 tons., She cannot replace her toU-nage sunk tor two reasons—she Is us­ing her man power to the utmost, hot for her own interests, but in the com­mon cause, in her shipbuilding yards two-fifths of the labor and machinery are required for repair work done as much for her Allies as for herself. Yet in four years by an almost super­human effort she has Increased the strength of her Navy by 60 per cent. This means that in spite of all other calls she has, during tour years of war strain, constructed the second largest navy in the world—that is, a new navy larger than any other save her original fleet,

"Britain financed all her allies un­til the United States came Into the war. She has ifltpplled France, Italy.; and the united States, to say nothing of Russia prior to the revolution, with a great proportion of their guns, muni­tions, rifles, uniforms, and airplanes,

"Besides supplying coal tor her own navy, merchant marine, and Indus­tries, she has furnished France and Italy with much coal and great quan­tities of foodstuffs from overseas.

"The motherland has assumed an immense war debt, but it 1B In her ex­penditure of lives that she has sub­jected herself to the most grievous losses. Upward of 1,000,000 British soldiers have given their lives In the

tact that there has to be more than talk. America is pledged, America has to make good. There has to be continued conservation on your part if that Is to come to pass.

"America must send to the armies and the allies this year 60 per cent, morejtood than last year; three times the normal exports.

"America must be ready when the war ends to rush supplies for 180,-000,000 people, victims of Germany and the war, who are facing starva­tion unless help comes quickly.

"America must build up reserves to carry us over the harvest period and to protect us against the lean year that may come. / >

"The conservation program reduces to this: Every ounce of food of every sort that we manage to save will set free its proportion of essential food for the relief of those whose needs are greater than ours,

"The success of this program rests not alone on the honor and co­operation but also upon the Intelli­gence of the, American people. Its success will be the highest proof of the faith and works of democracy in America,*'

BENEFITS OF THE ,WABf BETBOSPEOT.

The war with its attendant horrors, its atrocities, and fearful suffering, is still too recent for Its benefits to be seen In perspective, but even now, short as the time has been, certain

list of casualties—dead, wounded, and missing—aggregate 880,000. Her dona­tion of' men to the Allied cause ex­ceeds 8,000,000. In proportion to her population she has given nearly three times as many men as Canada. It Canada had done as much it would have 120.000 dead. Even as it Is, half of the men In the Canadian army were born In Great Britain.

"If the United States ever equals Britain's contribution to date the American' Republic will have nearly 16,000,00ft soldiers In khaki, and near­ly 2,000,000 Americans will-have given their lives for the common cause,"

tendencies are already appearing which we are forced to regard as re-fiexes*ofthe great struggle, >.

* It cannot be denied that the war has been of educational value to us, and that the scope of our vision has been broadened immeasurably; we have come to have a much more intimate acquaintance with the peoples of other lands with a knowledge of their interests and needs, and we have gained much from this fraternal in­tercourse. The sufferings we have shared in common with others have eliminated much of our insular sel­fishness, and Inspired us with an eager willingness toward co-operation. All of these tendencies point in mark­ed manner to a spiritual progress and show a certain benefit we have deriv­ed from the great conflict,

r We have also gained materially;, the necessity of BuppIyingJJie demand for such materials as we "had been importing from enemy countries, has led to their manufacture at home; it goes without saying that this spur to the spirit of Inventiveness has great­ly increased our industrial resources, and been a great step toward, econ­omic self-sufficiency. "'We~li"8Te~"aSqTflr'e 'haBlts"""df thrift

and economy* from being a people notorious for its extravagance and wastefulness, we have become a na­tion conservationists, and it Is more than probable that these habits of frugality will continue, and the entire, country will profit thereby.

The desire to spread knowledge,, brought about probably hy the dis­closures of illiteracy which the draft uncovered; the eagerness to -improve standards of health, and to promote child-welfare; all of these show pro­gress which would in ordinary times have been of slow and sluggish growth, . / j "

From the war we have learned the lesson of sacrifice, ana we know the value of service, with both have come a new sense of responsibility and a recognition of what we owe to each other and to the State, This has "brought many extremes together In closest co-operation. Labor and cap­ital before the war were antagonistic; the years of struggle have shown them their mutual dependence and that neither Is self-sufficient.

With peace an accomplished fact, t3w^^bleiSB'isf^Tf0m)mlcTah4''''flmm;-'' cial readjustment from a war to a peace basis are goifcg-to prove most difficult, and will call for endless pa­tience and serious.' consideration, but the 'quickened moral stamina 1 which has manifested itself-In our people In so determined a manner fs the beBt

last tour years. Last year alone her- -assurance that all these problems will be solved, all the obstacles surmount ed. What we have gained from the conflict both morally and materially is then the best guarantee for a suc­cessful future, if we will only con­tinue to live up to these newly awak­ened tendencies during the trying per­iod of reconstruction.

"DEFENSA."

Kow Comes a "Poor Taxpayer? to the Front.

December 5th, 1918. Editor SUMMIT HERALD,

Sir:—IJiave been interested In read­ing the letter of Mr. S. R, Mullen and the reply thereto written by the Cap­tain, of Company "B."

In view of all that la said In these

this applies also to the Federal Gov­ernment, they can call every able 'bodied man Into the Federal Service as demonstrated by the Draft.

If the State of New Jersey needs more men than they now have to take care of its citizens and their property then the State at large should add to its militia strength in the regular mi­litia and not be placing upon one town, that does not need more protection, the burden of support of an entire com­pany. This expense if put in the bud­get for the State tax would not be near as heavy tor us to carry as it would if it were placed in Summit tor one company, and • other towns tor other companies, and leaving some towns without any of the expense to pay. -• There is no question but that the Re­

serve Company has filled an Important need, that of training men for service In the United States Army and as it is a reserve to the State Militia, to train men who wish to become members of the Militia Company.

As 1 notice that the Militia Reserve Company is already wearing the over­coats that they ask the Council to ap­propriate money for it would seem to me that it was a case of "counting your chickens before they were hatched."

Captain Cragin mentions other towns as having raised various sums of money by "personal donations of Pa-, triotlc Citizens," If some of the citizens of Summit feel that they can give to this purpose at a time when we are called upon to give to so many things, all well and good, but I do not feel that it is right tor this additional burden to be placed upon those who do hot feel that they can afford It or that it hi necessary.

Yours truly, A POOR TAXPAYER,

A Tribute to Lieutenant Oscar B, Hellqulst,

Those of us who knew Oscar Hell­qulst and followed his career from the time he left the N, D. O. Battalion to join the Seventh Regiment in March, 1917, up to the time of his glorious death on the field of battle on October 18th, last, never doubted his ability, his courage, his Idealism. He was clean, industrious and determined. That he was one »of those first chosen for the Officer's Training Camp at Spartanburg and one of the first to receive his commission as a Second Lieutenant was no great surprise. We felt that he had it in him to win suc­cess. His optimism and sunny smile were the expression of his heart. But his worth as a soldier has been j o sincerely expressed by a member of Oscar's own Company D, of the 107th Infantry it seems fitting to quote from P letter dater November 4, 1018, writ­ten by Corporal Ed, Cooke to his ^other,.Mrifc E. a Cooke, of thi t city, which is published with her permis­sion : "Dear Mothert

So Oscar wrote home about me be­ing wounded. Well, mother, I cannot say enough about him. He was every-thrng to me. There wasn't a better •oldier.in the world and none braver. He was courageousness itself, always Cheerful, neat, clean and had a good worrMit any time.

When they told me he had fallen and had gone West it hit me mighty hard. * » * Oh! God—^but it is hard to have a real pal fall, mother dear; It's awful. He is a true hero. Many,, many were the timei we had quiet talks about home add things and It was always Ed. and Oscar; no Lieu­tenant and Corporal, But once did he call me Corporal and that was on the night I was made one. Mere worda cannot express.what he was to me butWs in my heart thank God!"

Such is the ' tribute of a soldier. And so Tennyson wrote'

"Kind hearts are more than coronets "And simple faith than Norman blood,"

Reply to "Befensa" by Mr, Adams. Summit, Nov. 30, lftlct.

Editor of Summit Herald: "Defensa" sets up a man of Btraw

and proceeds to shoot it full of holes. -As far as I know, no responsible

statesman either here or abroad haB suggested that Germany be fed as a matter ^ c h a r i t y , and certainly no one has proposed that, any nation should deny Itself, or overlook the need of those whose claim Is paramount. In order that food may be made available for the German peo­ple. The only policy outlined by the Supreme War Council at Versailles, and referred to by President Wilson In his announcement of the Armistice, was that as a matter of public policy, and for the prevention of anarchy and chaos In Germany as the result of hunger among the civilian population and the soldiers returning from the front, the barriers that have existed during hostilities, should be removed so that Germany may buy such food as she is to* a position to- secure and pay

Our Boys, Now that our boya are beginning to

tome home, it seems a fitting time for ne to express our gratification at the splendid way in which they have done the job that they tackled. They have lone this in a spirit truly American and they have gloriously vindicated American methods, Ideals, and instl-tations. We, as a school, may feel that we have been particularly well represented in this wonderful enter­prise. There have been, according to the latest reports , one hundred thirty-six Summit High men who have en­tered the army. Not all of thesft%re_ graduates, but they have all upheld Bammlt High School standards and have given concrete evidence of the kiod of manhood for which she stands, Ten of this number are members of the Student Army Training Corps, and by their quiet acceptance of the in ty that Uncle Sam saw fit to im­pose upon them, they have proved just as convincing evidence of the excel­lence of the spirit of America as their comrades holding more spectacular positions. (-••

Seven of our boys havevmade the supreme sacrifice for liberty. We feel totally unworthy and Incompetent to • ip ress properly bur proud but hum­ble appreciation for such services. When we reflect on these things we realize that the only way for UB to show ourselves worthy of these men Is to take up the battle for right in our daily lives and do our best at all times. We cannot help but be inspir­ed to greater things when we con­template these acts of Our brothers. There is something ennobling in the prospect that we cannot fail to feel.

We are proud of our boys and ex­tend to them our most heart-felt thanks and the best wishes for a suc-#M#faI future.

Three "four minute" speakers then ""g3Sve~TarK's on the following subjects: Miss Louise Sherman, "What Movies Have Done for Democracy"; Gerald Holland, "A Talk on the Philippine Islands," and Norman Murray, "What Missions Done for Democracy."

Following this Miss Francis Pryor explained, the play which was given to •how the understanding, feeling, and fellowship between our soldiers and their allies. The play was quite a •uccess.

Miss Beatrice Stromenger then re-sited Alfred Noyes poem entitled "The Avenue of the Allies." This was a-great success and Miss Stromenger deserves great credit for her excellent memorizing and delivery.

witn their Christmas Play, "The Pow­er of Loyalty." I t is claimed tha t this play has Just the right touch of humor and seriousness for a play acted and witnessed by high school students. According to the Juniors it will be the best play ever produced by a third year class, but they will have to work very hard to beat last year's Christ­mas play. The play will probably be •taged on December 20,

S. C, Sixth Regular Meeting g, H, December 4, 1918,

The meetings commenced with eats; after that Invigorating procedure roll was called and minutes of previous meeting read. Mr. Hall made some an-nouncements about the Bible Classes and Sunday afternoon*meetings.

Rev. J Adams Oakes, from this city gave a fine talk. He draw Ma _ _ ' from a letter received from als broth-#r in France. He told of the aviators who had so great a chance to dls-tiagulah themselves and receive hon-mrm; of how the dough-boys who had »© such opportunities counted for

The Wind and the Sun. The blowing winds said to the sun.

Upon a summer's day,— "Now I'll make that man take off

His hat and coat today,"

Aloud did laugh the beaming sun And queried, full of glee^—

"How canst thou make his coat come off,

When there's no heat in thee?"

They settled down and tfien agreed That each should have a show,

Of putting forth his efforts best To prove H I S say WAB'Io.

Firs t blew the wind and shrill it blew The trees all swayed before, .

"What a windy day," the old man said. As he drew his coat oh more. _ . t

-glee-thQ sun did cry

BIG

"I knew that you're a fake! Jus t stand aside a little way

So I, my turn can take."

The sun gave off its sultry heat And dried all that was wet.

The man below took off his coat, He had begun to sweat!

The moral of this rhyme, my friends, The pride of men does smother,

"Who boasts aloud his skill and power, Fools but himself, not o t t i n , "

Fortnightly Members and Friends to Hear P ian i s t

Miss Winifred Christie, a Scotch pianist of distinction, will give a re­cital, under the auspices of the Fort­nightly Club, on Wednesday, Decern her 18th, at 3,30 o'clock, in the Lincoln Auditorium, Club members have tin privilege of asking two guests, the Club feeling that this chance to hear Miss Christie was so rare that the hospitality of the Club should be ex­tended to a certain number of gucsta.

Miss Christie was only six years ot age when she made her first public appearance. Her earliest teacher was Ernest Pauer, later under the tuition of Beringer she won every prize and, a scholarship at the Royal Academy of Music, London. The winning of the Liszt Traveling Scholarship gave her the opportunity of several years study in Germany. Later on she stud­ied in Paris, under Harold Bauer, where,she materially enlarged her al­ready extensive repertoire, broaden­ing out into a brilliant technician and an interpreter of highest order.

Winifred Christie made her first notable appearance in America at a concert of the Boston Symphony Or­chestra given in the spring of 1917, Of her performance of the G major concerto of Beethoven, ,Philip Hale, wrote: "We have seldom, if ever, heard a more musical, beautiful, poetic Interpretation of this concerto than that of Miss Christie's yesterday. Saying this, we are not unmindful of the greatest pianists who have played the concerto here and elsewhere."

Immediately after her Boston ap-pearance, Miss Christie was engaged for a , tour with the Boston Symphony Orchestra for the following winter; these appearances have been phenom­enally successful. Her recitals have alaoJaecured her equal triumph in the leading cities of the country. She is now acclaimed one of the foremost art ists mow playing in America. That the Fortnightly Club has been able to secure this illustrious artist, Is due solely to the fact that she la a personal friend of one of Its members.

Won't Toq Help Hake This Christmas a 'Happy One for a Wounded Soldier I

The Mercy Committee of New Jer­sey is planning to give 'Christmas tiheer to the Boys in U, s. General Hospital No, 8 at Colonia, N, J. This means that a Christmas tree 25 feet In height is to bo placed out-doors In a quadrangle of the Hospital just back of the Red Cross House.. The Elec­tric Light Co, of Rahway are going to ,'ive the lights and wiring for the tree

.which will be lighted every night for Li week. On Christmas Eve at 6,30 p. m, there will be Christmas carols sung when it is first lighted,

In the Hospital every patient is to be remembered with a stocking, and Lieut, Colonel Upshur has told the Mercy fGommittee to prepare 1400, then there are the Nurses to be re­membered with a small gift and there are 162 of them. It is to be Christ­inas on a large scale.

Every Branch of the Mercy Com­mittee has been asked to share the expense, and Summit is responsible for ' l00 stookingi: These stockings are all to be alike and will contain a package of writing paper and enve­lopes, pencil, handkerchief, half pound of hard candy, package of play­ing cards, or a small game, and also one of cigarettes.

There must be many people in Sum­mit, who were bitterly disappointed in not -being able to send a Christmas •package "over there," Why not now that that was impossible play Santa Claus to one of these wounded men so near our own home. Many of them come frorn . the West and South, in fact almost every State in the Union is represented, and wheii they go back to their homes, let it be with praise on their lips for New Jersey and its women,

All contributions to this fund are to be sent to Mrs, F. Walter Lawrence, Woodland avenue, Treasurer of the Summit Branch of the Mercy Commit­tee of New Jersey. Please remember that Christmas is only three weeks off, , , " • '

Subscription Concert Last Night.

A quintet from the New York Chamber Music Society gave, last night in Lincoln Auditorium as the first Subscription Concert of the sea­son, one of those evenings of music which are somewhat rare in Summit. The combination of a piano, clarinet, flute, French horn and bassoon is not frequently heard here and the pro­gram proved most enjoyable.

The opening number was a Quintet by the Russian, Rimsky-Korsakow, followed by a quartet by the French romanticist, Reynoldo Hahn, then a quartet by Doppler, Four movements from Flegier's, Trio in B minor, for flute, clarinet and bassoon, proved the most interesting part of the program. Spohr's quintet in 0 minor, opus 52, two movements, closed the program.

Miss Carolyn Beebe, the pianist and director of the group, has played here before and her work in last night's program was particularly pleasing. William Klncaid, a sailor in the U. S. Wavy, "appeared-~in his uniform, and proved himself a master of that sweet but difficult instrument. The other players were: Gustave Langenus, clarinet; Josef Franzel, French horn; and Ugo Savolini, bassoon,

The Subscription Concerts are now safely launched on another successful season,

After the three chief ad­dresses were over, he paid a tribute to the splendid work of the physicians of Summit, Br, Hamlll replied on be­half of his profession.

Bowman's dwelt principally upon the forthcoming Peace Conference, the de­parture of the President to attend the same, and the present status of the different countries of Europe, and the effect of the continual shifting and changing of European conditions up­on the final outcome.

She then took up the President's message to the Congress, going over It carefuly phrase by phrase, and point by point; analysing it carefully. This portion of her talk was of unus^ mil interest to her large audience.

Mrs. Bowman's talks are always so well outlined, her Ideas follow each other so beautifully in sequence, that it is a rare intellectual treat to listen to her; added to this, her thorough knowledge of her subject, and her clear analytical mind, make her one of the most attractive of Current Event Speakers.
