A sort of an uprising in this dty among some progressive citizens who finally presented the claims of the city to consideration in the matter of road work, before the Board of Freeholders, resulted in the taking over by the county of Beach Avenue and the expenditure of $62,600.00 in the rebuilding* and hard-surfacing of this street from Windsor Avenue to Columbia Avenue. Out of an expenditure in a ! few years upon roads by the Board of Freeholders of $1,680,700.00 this is all which came to this city. It is es- ' timated that about $400,000 has gone to Ocean City, whose representatives onthe Board have paid strict attention to Ocean City interests for a number of years, a compliment which we should like to be able to pay to Cape May's former representatives wifh I reference to Cape May's interests. North WHdwood has secured the rebuilding and hard surfacing of i£s magnificent boulevard and concrete ; enclosed flower mounds beautify it in j every block. Sea Isle, Strathmore, Stone Harbor, Avalon and every township have come in for liberal , treatment. They have a map of Cape ; May county which is accessible to the • Board. It may not have Cape May , City upon it, but we rather believe . it has. The county collector's books j will show that h pays huge county i tax every year and this should be evi- , dence that it really and truly exists. , Please gentlemen look after us. At i least finish up the Beach Avenue , Job. We understand that some $20,- , 000 set aside for keeping it in repair , last year was never called for. If this , is so such an amount will make a ' ■ good start. Broadway from West j Perry Street to Beach Avenue anil . Beach Avenue from Broadway to } l Windsor and from Columbia Avenue ' to Madison AVenue, hard surfaced, f should be the least work laid out by j , the Board for Cape May. We underiS stand that our representatives on the s Board are seeking this concession.

THE NERVE OF IT Among a number of admirable \ qualities \ve knew the British could always be depended upon , to look j after their own interests, but we never expected to see them suggest a t cancellation of their debt to the Unit- j ed States. It-has never been clear to £ us where the United States Govern-^ ment obtained the power to loan mon- j ey to foreign powers and we are dead ( sure that no power exists which will ( permit it to cancel these debts. Great r ' Britain has expended its domain wonderfully and acquired millions of new f subjects and millions of new and val- r uable acres. The United States has f nothing to show for the War but its t dead and wounded, its huge^ debt and f the consciousness of having aided in a v good cause, of having rescued civiliza- 1 1 tion from the unbeatable Hun. She { had no part in bringing on the war j and it is asking an unreasonable thing ; to want the United States to pay the bill for the war. It was much more } than could have been demanded that T . she has consented to lend some bil- £ lions of money. i * Lets get down to ljrass tacks and drop this silly sentimental ism which Great Britain anjl Germany are so as- ( • edduously promoting for their _own . benefit. -•* jj When a reckless adventurer takes; a drink of a strange bottle these 1 days it's a toss-up Whether he will 1 land in the seventh heaven of bliss or 1 the psychopathic ward of a hospital £ with the chances three to one on the lair of the straight jacket. j -• There is a- clearly defined impres- ; sion that, if the old_ question of reci- t procity between the United States . and Canada were revived now, it! would be given a far more sympa- i ethetic hearing in certain circles, es- i peeially in 'this country.

HELD IMPORTANT MEETING On last Tuesday evening the regular meeting of. the Francis Willard Tent, Daughters of Veterans, was held at the headquarters on Franklin street The attendance was the largr est ever held for the last two years. . There were six new members initiated, the following named: Grace Sevens, Alice Brewton, Lauara Church, " Fannie Vanan, Em^y Rief and Bertha Thompson. There was also "a j" number at new applications received I for membership. It • was as bright ■ and joyous lot of girls and women as 1 one would wish to see at a gathering, r they seemed bubbling over with good . nature and patriotirm. It seems idle . to dispute the fact that patriotism is an inAinct. - I believe it is the opinion, of some ' of the most thinking men of this country that so far as love of country ! and American ideals are concerned, r the women of our land will take a ' leading part in the near future, s A.

Early ip January, the Board j -met at the City Hall and organized the year, and reelected a president and other officers. The President stated he would appoint his committees at a very near date, now if g our memory serves us right nearly ( five weeks have passed since the v meeting and no one knows w;ho the s committees are. We just wonderedif „ the Board of Trade was a secret or- ^ ganization, or whether the members j willing; to be innoculated with ^ the new disease that is quite prevalent all over the country, "Sleeping j.

F. Moore, Miss Charlotte 1 Bayard and Misa Francena Potter, in I the Annex school. There is a noteworthy spirit of cooperation among the teachers and an 1 evident harmony and interest in their , : work- on the part of the pupils. Wfe of the opinion that West Cape . May schools is on the way to a high- ( er degree of efficiency than ever before attained.
