S. COAST DEFENSE. ' Here it a story that appeared in the ( Philadelphia Inquirer on Tuesday, re- ( girding » naval base on Barnegat Hay, ( aad an aviation station near Lakehurit. j The story reads: ( Plana of the United States Govern- | ■sent for the protection of New York ( and Philadelphia and for defense of the ^ •oast include; i Establishment of a large submarine Use in Barnegat Bay. ( ProTiaions fox an aviation base near { Lakehurst. , Probable 'fortifications of Sea Girt, j -T1i of oat other point between Barne- ^ gat Bay and Oape May. ( Construction of military highways to ( connect Barnegat with Cedar Bridge, ( to connect Lakehurst with Atsion, ^ the improvement of other roads to f • condition which would permit their ( use as military highways. This can be stated today with a high ( degree of certainty though the only ( part of the defense system outlined ( above so far announced officially is that ( relative to roads. It is known that there has long been consideration by odficials of the War and Navy Departments j at Washington of such an arrangement of defense ss would provide for both New York add Philadelphia from single < bases for submarine and aerial craft. It may be said upon high authority ( that Secretary of War Garrison may t shortly make known facts relative to \ the reported interest of the government J in extensive clearing and building oper- l ations near lakehurst where hundreds , of men are at work on munitions plants * and testing grounds for the Eddystone f Munitions Corporation and the duPont t Interest*. j Colonel Edward Stevens of the New s Jersey State Road Commission, has an- > aounoed the result of a conference at f Washington with General Leonard A. ' Wood, General Hugh L. Scott and offi- A i ears of the engineering oorps. He was C I Informed Col. Stevens declared that the >aost pressing needs in the way of mil . nary read biiilding in New Jersey now Are the const<tictiqn of substantial high j ^ ^ ways from Lake-food to Atsion and from Barnegat to Cedar Bridge. Such roads would connect Lakehurst j f with the main State rq^d between Phil- 1 , dae.phia and the southern coast and .would connect Barnegat with excellent ( road* to both Philadelphia and New ' , Yoik. The proposed lakehurst Atsion ! g road would parallel the New Jersey w Southern Railway and also the coast g line, the latter at a distance inland. h There is now a fine road from lake- „ burst to lakewood, which connects at a lake wood with the roads northward to ei Mew York, and, roads westward to Free- v bold, Trenton and Philadelphia. It is |, evident from the announcement of Col- s. onel Stevens .that the government now a considers a shorter road between lake- a hurst and Philadelphia and between () lakehurst and Barnegat and Atlantic t< City very highly essential to the development of the defense program.

DEVELOP CAPE MAY COUNTY'S NATBUAL RESOURCES Star and Wave Cape May, N. J.: I read with much interest and enthusiasm the address delivered by Mr. Risley. I believe with him that if the right parties can be found to develop Oape May Oounty's natural resources at this time wt may soon see unbounded prosperity. I have hoped that the. land-locked harbor would before this, have become a port When you consider the time eaved by vessels asifiig from Oape May instead of Philadelphia it is a wonder the great Pensylvania Railroad Company does not take the project in hand and bring it to pass Think what it would mean to oar city the freight that would be shipped would mean great warehouses; and soon Cspe May would bs to Philadelphia what Cherbourgh is to Paris Agitate it in your columns Sore Throat Don'ts.

| CAPE MAY BOY SAILS FOR 1 FAR NORTHERN PORT , j " » ! Alonxo Speace, son of Mr. aad Mrs ' F.'C. B. Speace of this city, sailed from ' New York City on December 29, 1916, j Archangel, Russia, as the second or assistant wireless operator on the St«amei*"Omsk" of the Russian Volun- * Fleet. The "Omsk" is a huge freighter and loaded with supplies among them ; 4,000 tons of barbed wire, auto, i mobiles and many other things for the ; j Allies in the way of supplies. It will require about four months to make the : round trip. Mr. S peace is gradute of the Phila- j delpbia School of Wireless Telegraphy, . and successfully pasred as examination ! several months ago ^before the Naval j Board at League IslandNreceivlng a first j class certificate, and was 'assigned to J this vessel by T. M. Stevens, superintfh- ' dent of Southern District of the Mareoni' Wireless Telegraph Company of America. The United States Regulations require two operators and the affiliated Company will arrange to relieve S peace on the "Omsk" at the earliest opportunity if the service of an assistant operator is not required for the entire voyage, apd he will be returned to the port of embarkation (New York City) at their expense. Alonzo is armed with his passport w-ith which he can chum protection from the American Consul at any port to which the vessel may < proceed if necessary to show him to bs American citizen. If he makes the entire voyage he will know what real winter weather is before be gets back the United Statea..

. "THE BARGAIN." Among the present day directors and script writers of westerns, Thomas H. ' Ince, aided by William H. Clifford has ■ a very small number of equals When1 ever we hear the name of Ince it is in- ' voluntarily linked with the best of 1 western dramas and melodramas. Hi* wide experience and the wonderful equip ment that the forces at Inceville ofler ' are perhaps the best So that hit boo k ore in producing this variety of pictures 1 are well earned. In "Hie Bargain" Mr. Ince and Mr. 1 Clifford have produced a wonderfully strong western which in its own partie 1 ular class is very good. It contains a . 1 typical-western story full of fast, thril- ; ling action, some of which is most sen1 sational. One seene in particular wart rants special mention. William & Hart, ► who plays the leading part, and his horse, which most certainly must be a trick animal, roll over and over, down " a steep embankment. This act in inself is most wonderful, hut it seems almost miraculous when ; »« le*n> that neither of them was aer- , j ionsly injured. Mr. Hart, who plays • the part of Bill Stokes. "The Two-Gun J Man',' is constantly exhibiting his prowess in the saddle throughout the pici tare. The times when he is not astride ' his horse he is exhibiting his ability a a » an actor aad altogether gives aa excel- w lent account of himself.

ANOTHER RAD OS CITO i sa^wwo®. In casting about to find provender for a hungry horde of "deserving Democrats" Secretary of the Treasurer McAdoo sees an opportunity to unfit more ' room at the public crib by enlarging the force -of income tax collectors. In support of his request to Congress that their number be augmented he says in his annual report recently made public: "For the fiscal -year 191S*there was a total of 295,723 personal and corpora- , | Lion income tax returns to be examined, , | and with the present force of 247 field , j officers making examinations at the , I same average- as experience has shown 1 i that they are able to go it will require i : three and a half years for thia force to 1 !" complete the examination of the trans- , scripts that -will be sent to the agents 1 for examination in the present fiscal I year." i Mathematically reduced to Ha simplest < form that statement means that the ' number of returns for each examiner ' averages 1080. Allowing 300 working i days to a year, the examiner will have < not less than 1050 days to complete his share of the work. His reckoning to ( the Government, therefore, for the comfortable salary he draws, Is represented by the labor required to examine one return a day which means inefficiency of a positively wicked sort, , and quite characteristic of the Demo- f cratic party. , , When the income tax collection, pro- I; vided for by the Democratic law, was i put into operation an opening was j made for the appointment of a great ] , many employees. The cheif qualifies- j j tion was that they be Democrats. The i appointments were at first of a temper- f ary character but very soon they began i to be covered into the United States < Civil Servioe by the hundreds, on the i executive order of President Wilson, i despite the vigorous protest of the Na- J tional Civil Service Reform League and of every one interested in preserving the integrity of our civil service. Up to the 5 time of his election President Wilson was vice president of that League and he wrote to it as foHows: "I am a hearty believer in the principles of civil service reform and shall take pleasure at all times in doing what I can to promote those principles in practice." By executive orders he has ( thoroughly debauched it. His recent 1 statements that the Republicans will - have no issue but the tariff will require a mendibg. • Children Cry ' FOR FLETCHER'S C ASTO R I A i t Gorski'f winter samples for men's J suits are worthy of your inspection. • (■ I 1 1 Rain Spouting, Gutters and Tin Roofs n Good work at consistant prices.
