He said that he wants to be a real American when his lows: "To provide for the payment of expenses authorized by the concurrent vote of all the members of the Board of Estimate and Apportionment upon a resolution requesting such authorization, adopted by the affirmative vote of three-fourths of all the members of the Board of Aldermen, provided, however, that the amount thus Issued shall not the years 1917 and 1918, exceed $4,000,000, nor In any one year thereafter exceed $2,000,000." In effect, the measure raises the limit on the Issue of special revenue bonds In the years 1917 and 1918 by $2,000,000.

The law at present permits the issuance of such bonds to the sum of $2,000,000 a year, and they are paid off by being covered in the tax levy of tho following year each time; so that the bonds Issued this year are this bill?"

SAYS CAPTAIN the Methodist Church, opposing such training. Moth Mrs. Emma Tyler.

Suffolk County president of Kmithtown Branch, and Mrs. JJ. L. Bates, County Superintendent on Scientific Temperance, spoke against the proposition to give military training. Mrs.

Tyler also referred to the matter in her paper on "How Can the W. C. T. V. Help Settle International Disagreements by Arbitration?" She said: "l'rom the homes let us reach out to the schools and use our influence against tho drilling of our oncoming citizens -in the art of warfare, but rather advocate teaching the doctrine of arbitration.

Let us educate for citizenship, not soldiery; for peace, not war." Some of the ways in which the W. C. T. U. can help, according to Mrs.

Tyler, is to instill into the minds of tho children boys and girls the noble principles of forgivenes for injuries; of patience with the less favored; of overcoming evil with good; by stamping in their minds that all men are brothers; by guarding them from military toys and warlike games and whatever makes them familiar with taking life as a pastime; by discouraging the spirit that loves to exalt Itself at the expense of others or to take advantage of the weak or ignorant and by setting examples of true heroism in saving life or property or in self denying labors for tho good of mankind instead of the false glories of war. The greetings were extended by Mrs. Myron D. Fuller, president of the Huntington Union, and were responded to by Mrs. Emma Tyler.

F. G.

"If that is their idea." Mr. Bieden-kapp said, "they will find it is a wrong one.

We are well organized and we can keep the factory closed for a year or more, if necissary.

February Uniform EChool tax rates with the town as the unit Instead of the school district, were rather strenuously opposed by the members of the Brook-haven Town Board yesterday, and resolutions voicing the opposition were adopted.

Advocates of the proposed system maintain that the school tax should be levied in the same manner as the highway tax, uniform throughout the town, the benefits accruing to all persons in the town. Supervisor Howell and the members of the board held that this system was entirely illogical and that if the tax were made uniform, then the smaller districts which found their rates materially increased to spond witli the size of their holdings. The boys were all equipped with sisting of -father, mother and seven children. According to the report the mother became mentally unbalanced, neglecting her family so that a baby died for want of care. The father drank heavily.

One boy, was old enough to work; one was placed in an institution and three were placed out to board. Tho mother and baby were placed in a sanitarium. In two years, the report says, this family cost the town nearly $2,000. One girl of the family has become self-supporting; the father Is now at work at $3 a day and will place the younger; children in free homes as the mother, the report reads, will never be able to care for the children.

The map in this and other towns was provided for by a law Which Assemblyman Thomas McWhinney had kept going under the boilers and the machinery saved from damage. But if the factory officials take the attitude that they will starve us into submission, I will use every endeavor to call out the engineers.
