As ever>' newspaper reader |tnow8, there havo been difflculUes with tho pa tier production in this pountry during the List year, which hftve caused many newspapers to suspend «nd others to grof.tly curtail thoir numlxr of  pngns.

CHAPLAIN REUTES WAR EXPERipES
The Rev. Dr. Kerr Interest! Hemp¬ stead Audience With Some Inside History
Another enjoyable session of the Men's Association of the Hempstead Presbyterian church was held in tho church houae Wedneeday night. It was ladies' night and the church house was well filled.
The Rev. Dr. Frank M. Kerr, pastor of the church, who served as an army chaplain in France during the war, spoke of hll experiences and gave something of an insight Into work of the Ameri¬ cans In the war and the strategy they employod. He gave information from authentic sources of the straightening out of the St. Mehicl sector, which prob¬ ably had never been heard before by hi» hearers.
It appears that to deceive German commanders, an American army officer was sent with fake plans of an attack near the Swiss border. He contrived to have them stolen by German spies, with the result thct German divisions wore moved southward to meet the oxpocted attack.
To further carry out the plsn, an American general was sent with an army toward that point.
When   the   Germans     had     somewhat weakened their lino by these withdraw¬ als,-Americanarmies attacked and suc- •dedHiir'Tctfnii^lishtng   the   goal,  tho straightening of the line.
During the St. Mohiel battles, Amer- can divisions were being withdrawn by another piece of strategy and sent to the Argonne sector, where the Ameri¬ cans  saw their flerceat fighting.
The part allotted to the Americans was breaking through the Arsronne line and taking Sedan, the important rail¬ road center from which Gerlnan armies in the north were supplied. Amoricans took this point, thereby cutting off the principal llnfes'of communication of the Germans, And thus forced them either to surrender«or sign the armistiee.
Many personal anecdotes were related which  added interest to the .story.

New York city Is nngry. It Is provok¬ ed at Nassau coimty. Brother Gotham Is In a real turbulent mood, and does not want to speak to Sister Nassau. ever again. No, never. The big city claima that Nasaau county Ih slopping on its tail and being real me.an.
"The big city's tall" hi no mere fig¬ ure of speech, for everyone know.s tliat the city has a long caudal appenda.iJ stretching out Into Nassau couhty, and uses this tall for getting wator In th.; samo wny as tho young moaqulto uses its tall for getting air.
Literally, the city has a long, narrow stretch of land, extending across the county. In which Is laid an aqueduct, carrying No-isau county waters to Brooklyn. Tho city ia ungry becauso areas In close proximity to this "tali" are not being kept as sanitary as tho city would like to have them kept. Shcch&n Seemed Peorod
At-least. Deputy Commissioner Shee¬ han, of the Department of Water, Gas and Electricity, was quite pe«ve<l re¬ cently when Supervisor G. Wilbur Doughty took up with him the matter of a complaint, which had bo.»n rf ceive<l from the city about some pigs In Lake- view, performing their mcrntng abso¬ lutions In Schodack Brook, which emp¬ ties Into tho Hempatoad reservoir, which la. In turn, tributary to tho Brooklyn v.-ater aupply system. »
Supervisor Doughty took up the fit¬ ter an soon as the complaint wns re¬ ceived, and on getting In touch .with ComMissloner Sheehan. found that the telephone was heavy with heated words, which a&Id aomethlng ahout trying for over and a day to get some action in rhe matter, aa the city was flgurlng on operating the l^a';or worka In iho near future.

"You take all our ta:ce3 nnd don't give us anything in return." was the part¬ ing shot that came eastward over the wire. Just bofo«t> the connection v.-as severed with a snapiiy dick in tho re¬ ceiver.
Supervisor Doughty reported to the Board of Health that there had boen a i-eturn of compliments during th-? ccn- vorsation, as a result of Commission er  Sheeluui's  attitude.

Health Inspector Smith declared th.it ns tho result of the activity ot the Hempstead Town Health Dspartment, tho ownor of the pigs thnt bathed In Schodack brook hod moved hla pig pen back 500 feet from tho brook, and tKat they were no longer a menace to the water supply of the city.
What the city wants, he declared, ^fi to have the man stop raising pigrs, al¬ though this man whd owns the plga alao owns tho brook.
"Tho city w^^ts us to go after thia I man with hammer and tongs," said tha inspector,   "but   wc   havo  accomplished muck more by different mctiiodii." Horse Brook, Tout

Safeguarded
Another party to the suit of the town
of   Hempstend.   and   villages   of   Rock-
' vllle Centre and  Freeport. against  the
; Na.ssau   &   SulTolk   Lighting   Co.-npany,
j because   of  its  demand  for   higher   gas
: rates,   has  been  Iirought  to light aa a
J result of the disoovei-y that tho Nassau
I & Suffolk "l^Ighting Comiiany agn-ed to
I furnish  to  residents  of  the  South   Bido
' lighting district, gas at the rate of $1.50
per  thousand  cubic  feet.    This  waa  In
, consideration of an agreement to give
the   comiiany   a   ten   year  contract   to
furnish   the  gas  to  light  tho  roads  in
that district.
The comiiany now charges residents of the di!;trict $2.25 per thous,ind feet, or seventy-flve cents abovo the agreed rate.
DltEtrirt Adjoins Heinpstead This agreement was brought to pub¬ lic attention by J.ime« E. Place, chair¬ man of the Taxpayers' committee of tho South .Side lighting district, which orgnnl7.ntlon complains against being made to pay the excess charge.
This district, which extends east and -.outh of Hempstead for milcM, waa crvv ¦vted on June 3. 1913. This district Is one of the most. If not the tnost, exten¬ sive lighting districts in the town us¬ ing gas for lllumlniating the* publle highways.
When the district was organized sev¬ en years a^o the town board, on behalf of the taxpayers in tho district entered Into a contract with the Nassau and Suffolk Lighting Company, and a fur¬ ther consideration was made i>art of the contract.
Agreed R«te of $1.50 In coVisIderatlon of receiving the con¬ tract for tills large district tha Nassau & Suffolk Lighting Company agreed to mako a standing rate of $1.(0 to Iirlvate consumers within the district. This v.-as made a i>art of the contract with the town board, and the contract still h^ three years In which to run.
This contract puts the 8outh Bide lighting district In a different poaltlon wJth respect to tho compariy than the other districts. In whose contracts tbere has not been written such an agreement on ratea to private consumers.
It l£ the oiilnlon of members of the town board that this contract puts tha lighting district in tbe same noeltlon, frum a let-al point of view, as the inu- nlcliiajlties of Rockville Centre and Froeport, in v/hlch plaoei; tho company is oporatin,^ under a franchise which specl.lcally stitfs just wiiat rite s'.mll be ehartred.
New Pariy to Ita* Suit As a result the South Side lighting district is to he made a party to the rato suit now before the Public Bervlce Commission. James E. Place, chair¬ man of the Taxpayem' committee of the rtiatrtct will appaar as complainant tnr the (district. Tho district will sbare the costs with the town and other mu- nlciiMUltlM,
