COMPLAINTS AGAINST' . TROLLEY LINE I I Many complaints have' been male against the local trolley line by the * summer residents of our city. The ~omplaint has been carried to • the state r board where- the people filing the torn- f . plaint hoped for a betterment of the system. After hearing testimony at the Court House, in Camden, Thursday, the State Public Utility Commissioners gave the f Cape May, Delaware Bay and Sewell'a - Point Railway Company" three days in t which to rehabilitate their trolley sys-- v ■ tern at Cape May. Complaint was ■ y made by cottagers that the company ® " allowed cars to be operated on noisy, ' 0 sleep-destroying, flat wheels, and that ® the service was very irregular. The 1 8 company's representative stated that 8 new wheels had arrived and that other f - improvements were about to be made. c r! The line has also caused some of our [■ °j future famous poets to contribute arti- ' 8 cles on the line for our columns. These c r- sketches can be found in another part of this issue. ' h * t d FRENCH OPEN PROVING t ,1 GROUND HERE t i d The new French Proving grounds of d the Bethlehem Steel Company opened ' d j here Tuesday morning when shells were 8 d fired for the testing of the gun, the fuzes ' (and the shells. The gun that is used ai * t this new proving ground fires a one- j d | pound shell and has a very wide range, d It is expected that the proving ground 1 " ill be greatly enlarged in order to take " '• care of large French Government orders 1 " l tor munitions. I I This makes the third large munition j ' j plant at Cape May the other two being j ' operated by the Bethlehem Steel Coml pany for the English and another for 1 the Russian Government. The two I II ! plants employ about two hundred men j ( s i and the new one will employ quite a | , c i number when it is completed." The new ( e grounds are under the care of Mr. 'X und , p j of the French Army.

LARGE DREDGE COMES HERE GOVERNMENT DREDGE FRO* AT- < LANTIC CITY ARRIVES HERE TO COMPLETE INLET— WILL REMAIN HERE UNTIL CHANNEL IS COMPLETED. On Monday afternoon the United States Government auction dredge "Aheecon" of Atlantic City arrived here to I complete the work that the dredge I Key West, that was here last summer, I could not do. This dredge is over 150 I long and will hold many cubic yards of ' sand. The sand that is suoked up ia 1 placed in a large compartment in the ■ center of the vessel where it remains until the compartment is full when the 1 boat is taken out to sea and the sand < dumped. . " 3 Because of the fact that this boat, < notwithstanding her siae, draws less 1 water than the Key West it will be able ' complete the work on the sides of the channel and make the inlet the re- ' quired depth of twenty-five feet at low I water. I In addition to being a dredge this I has enough equipment to make her a regular ocean going steamship. The I quarters for officers and crew are of the ' while the dredge has a bridge which 1 very uncommon for this type of a I boat. I With the channel deepened and made safer than it is already the harbor will : better than ever for the submarines I that it is intended to have' stationed for the protection of the Delaware ' Bay.

Edge, candidate for 1 Governor, is issuing from-his headquarters here a phamplet which he considers dqperves to be called unique among millions of campaign documents in the political history of New Jersey.

It is rumored that the submarines will ( stay here and make the Cape May har- ] bor" their base because of the fact that the harbor has been selected as a sub- 1 i marine base by the war department.

01 n rd \JIAJ DIVILIV - WANAMAKER SPEAKS— TO MASS PERPETUAL FUND FOR CARS OF CEMETERY. The two hundred and second anniversary of the Gold Spring Presbyterian known as the Old Brick Church, took place Sunday morning with fin hundred people present. The old chunk drew many well kaown people to tha services among them being Hon. John Wanamaker who made the principal address of the day. Mr. Wanamaker touched upon the preaent war as being a harvest of death, showing the vast difference between the rally which was a harvest of peoce and happiness bringing the old members of the congregation who bad moved to other parts back to their old home among their people. The various methods of worship warn also touched upon by Mr. Wanamaker and in mentioning the style of preachthat Billy Sunday used, the said . that some people' criticized his clothes, J* method of living and his actions in H the pulpit. "Why should we critfolna the clothes he wears or*Thc way he walks, if he is doing work for the gospel in the way he knows t" asked Mr. Wanamaker. Other parts of "his speech were on the times of the founding of the Old Brick Church before the Revolution and it* development to the present time. In addition to the adress of the merchant prince, excellent music was rendered by the Bethany Quartette, Profsor R. Clark, who is known: as the "second Rodeheaver," and Bentley D. Ackof the Billy Sunday campaign. The services were in charge of N. Perry Edmunds, of Philadelphia, and Judge II. H. Eldredge. Sunny Jin Johnson, a famous camp meeting pastor was also present with his old time jollying. A" plan has be;n suggested by some of the trustees of the church for the perpetual care of. the cemetery. This plan will be presented before the general congregational meeting in September for fectioa. The idea is to have the trustees authorized to accept sums of not less than $200 to he permanently invested, the interest of which to b- used for the qare of the lot of the donor or whichever lot in flie ceipetery that might desiwptcd- • The rall_ir created a new relation between the Cold Spring Churches owing to the fact that the Tabernacle M. E. Church did not hold serviced on Sunday but the congregation attending the Old Brick Church while their pastor helped to officiate at the services. Among the short talks was a very interesting one of Charles Edmunds that touched on the old church traditions. After singing one of the hymns of Mias E. E. Hewitt a cheerful "wave of the hands was given to her by many friend* who had not seen her for several years as this is the first year that she has had time to visit the old home town. The benediction was pronounced by one of the former pastors of the church, Dr. J. L. Landie.
