STEAMBOAT A LIFE SAVER I IF STRIKE OCCURS a i visitors depend on new boat line to philadelphia for transportation home in e ent.of a, railroad strike— cape may will be only resort with regular service if strike comes off— will boom resort for late season business. •v d

In the event of a general railroad tie- j all over owing to the threatened na; tional railroad strike this city will re- • main in touch with Philadelphia owing I to the new steamboat line that was organized this year. Many thousands of people are leaving other resorts because of the expected tie-up on Labor Day but no people have left this city so far as they are depending on the boat line that has given such excellent service this summer. It has been announced that the line will be in .service as long as . it pays and in the event of a strike tne ooat will j remain in service as long as the strike in order to give good service to this city. j This line will proiV^Jifesave^o the ' city if the strike comes off as people ill more readily use a lint- That (ias been giving good service to this city j father' than the automobile lines thvCI will be -placed in service to other re- j sorts and charging exorbitant prices for the-4ffiit5pQrtation.

I: ■j The steamboat has had a very sue- 1 : cessful year tonaidering the obstructions c ■ ' in its way at first and lately the trips 1 • 1 to Lewes have . been extremely popular. 1 i On every Saturday and Sunday trip the 1 1 boat has turned 'people if ay because of i ' ; lack 'of accommodations and during the . c I week it has carried a fairly good sized i f ; crowd. It 'has been stated, bat not of-. ■ ficialiy verified, that the sister ship of j 1 i the Cape May, the Larchmont, has be>m - 1 t secured on an option and would be placed j s in the service to Philadelphia during'" 1 the next summer. 1 Another line is also expected to start i t running during the next season to Bal- , 5 timpre and the Southern cities giving . | the southerners', who~m former years : s also the present find this' resprt to I s | their liking, a direct ling from their ( ' . homes to Cape May. It is hinted thq^ ! this line will work in conjunction ■ with j c _ fhhe present line to Philadelphia so that | ' r harmony might exist for the benefit of 1 ^ I the resort. i

LIFE GUARDS VOLUNTEER CITY GUARDS OFFER TO REMAIN UNTIL FIFTEENTH OF SEPT EMBER AS USUAL WITHOUT PAYFUND BEING RAISED FOE MEN WHO WILL PROTECT BATHERS. As usual the city life guards will remain on the beach until the fifteenth of September during the regular hoars from ten in the morning until six at night for the beach to be patrolled. It has always been the custom for the guards to remain on duty from September first to the fifteenth as volunteers and serve without pay from the the cottagers and others who are always appreciating this and contributing to a fund that is given to guards for their work during the time of volunteering. In last week's issue it was stated that the reoenf Life Guards Ball was for the guards for their volunteer work but this an error as the ball was 'given the guards by the City and having nothing do with their volunteer work but as part of their compensation for their regular time when under the city. The us-, ual fund for the volunteer work will be taken in the near future and it is hoped the people will appreciate the guards excellent work and contribute amount that they should, as has done in former years. With this year the guards hate been able, to do considerably better work than in the past owing to the fact that they l»d more confidence than in past years of better equipment.

Thhse naval, boats will remal^, hen : until the 9th of . September when they , 1 will return to PbllSdelphia and end thrir ' ) cruise. During their stay they will pari ticipate in the war game, some of the boats will protect the city while others t will attack it and try -to evade the proj t feting forces. Thi* trill be an unusuali ly interesting sight as excellent views , ; may be obtained of 'art naval boats of I both attacking and protecting parties j during the engagement from such points . as the towe( of the Sewejls Point pavil- . J ion. The time for this attack, of count, e- 1% not certain as it will be made by I the "enemy" when least expected by the > protecting boats if possible. With the aviation base that will tih 3 established here during the coming year this mimic warfare would be even more i interesting than ever but as the aeroi planes are not here the submarines and j other naval boats will lend plenty .of s excitement and interest. , This is tbe second time that a group t ot submarint-s have entered our landlock- . ed hafbor and have proven its adaptsj bility for tbe submarine base that will . be established here according to the s statement of the officer in charge of the 5 fleet that was here for the Fourth of , July celebration. A BRUTAL ASSAULT An unprovoked assault upon an unoffending vigjtwryby another visitor who e has become somewhat notorious for his - quarrelsome proclivities, disturbed the f peace of the music pavilion one day tills e week. The man assaulted wee an East f Indian, somewhat dark in color, but e s visitor and taxpayer at Cape Mav for several years. The assault was made upon him, apparently, because of hia '. color, the assailant asserting, that he had Qo right on the pavilion and attempting to throw him over the rail to the beaoh, ^ which he might have accomplished if g another man had not intervened. We ^ hope the man assiiiltW. -will prosecute g the assailant to the fullest extent. The police, if present, should have taken him at the time, no matter what means were necessary. Cape May cannot afford to . permit such outlawry and brutality by , visitors or any"body else. The attitude of the belligerent is said to b'e defiant j and contemptuous toward ail ' restraint j and all authority and he has offended similarly in previous seasons. He is just the man who should be taugbt that the law is superior to him and able to conr. trol him. DO YOU WANT IT? 4 Limited amount of money to place on 8 mortgages within the city, in sums of.
