From Mons to the Marne, lies the bloodiest trail of sacrifice in history. In all the records of war there stands forth   no   more   magnificent   and   no
j more melancholy achievement than that of the British Regular Army, which bled its heroic way in ever di¬ minishing numbers from the challenge to  the  check  of the  initial   German
! sweep upon Paris.
The Black Wateh crossed the Eng¬ lish Channel on the 13th of August, 1914, took part in all the battles for the next year. At La Bassee Mr. Cas¬ sells was buried for 6 hours by the ex¬ plosion of a 15-inch German shell a few yards in front of the trench they were holding. He has been very bad¬ ly wounded.

Venting Spleen
Here is how the New York Sun re¬ fers to Freeport:
"A sleepy oyster and fish post vil¬ lage of Nassau County, drowsing thru the rainy moming."
It is a safe bet that somebody with influence on the New York Sun has been fined as a result of somebody in Freeport being wide awake enough to catch him when he was using our vil¬ lage streets for a speedway. And by the way, those other crooks seemed to have the same idea about the sleepy village.

Fn^Mirt Sticka lo Monument
At its meeting Wednesday evening the special committee reported to the World War Association of Freeport on the cost of the propoaed atone mon¬ ument, as a memorial to the Freeport boya who served and died in the World War. The form of monument reeemmended by the committee would coat about 116,000. The Association did not pay jmy attention to the re- ^•est of the Freeport Mothers' Club tat the bailding of a Community Hooae aa a memorial, Although they did discuss at aome length the ques¬ tion of substituting a library bailding but finally decided, by a close vote, to erect the stone monument, at the junc¬ tion of Railroad Avenne and Olive Boulevard.
Special committees were appointed as follows: Ways and Means, Samuel R. Smith, J<4in M. Harrington, Hen¬ ry McCord, C. M. Foreman, Edward B. Thompson and Henry L. Maxson; Site, Structure and Coat, Hart and Cd»eland.

Not Guilty Because of An Indictment
Along the line of the indictment against Police Chief Hanse, because of the activities of the Department of Justice, the following editorial* from the Brooklyn Eagle referring to a similar case or accusation made by the Department of Justice is of timely in¬ terest:
"Judge Garvin took the only course possible when he halted the trial of the nineteen defendants in the so- called Rosenwasser case and directed the jury to bring in a verdict of ac¬ quittal. The jury took the only course possible when, after acquitting the ac¬ cused, it adopted resolutions condemn¬ ing the Department of Justice for in¬ stituting the prosecution. Heavy ex¬ pense has been incurred, three weeks of valuable court time has been wast¬ ed, palpably innocent men have been subjected to hurtful suspicion, finan¬ cial loss and mental suffering, on a charge which, in all human probabili¬ ty, would never have resulted in an indictment if the prosecuting authori¬ ties had proi>erly presented the case to the Grand Jury."

The Proper Step The Village Board of Trustees did the right thing in raising the salaries of the village police from $95 to $100 per month. It also did the right thing in refusing to allow any member of the force to engage in any other busi¬ ness. A man who puts in his full time as a village offlcer in order to keep his head clear and his body fit for the work must expect to take a proper amount of rest and recreation, which he cannot do with other busi¬ ness affairs to occupy a large amount of his time. The increase in compen¬ sation, in addition to that already given, makes the pay sufficient so that plenty of good men can be secured willing to take the office under these conditions.

Freeport Police Found Bank Robbers I had quite a chaa with Henry Ber¬ man, one of the First National Bank robbers, recently. He says the Free- port Police are entitled to a whole lot of credit. In fact, he gives them all the blame (or credit, as you may put it) for their capture. If there had been a delay of two or three minutes in sending out the alarm they would have been safely through the Tistrict where they were caught, could have left their car and quietly walked home and nobody would have been the wiser and when they sized up the village they did not even take into consideration the possibility of the Freeport police getting busy so quick¬ ly. He says he is not a stranger to New York police methods, although he had never been in anything of this kind before, and he had never anti¬ cipated such prompt work as was put over on them by the desk man at Po¬ lice   Headquarters   (Officer  Yulch).
Set Your Clocks
Saturday Night
There has been considerable discus¬ sion as to the advisability of chang¬ ing the clock during the summer time, but whether or not we like it, it is the law, so that when going to bed Sat¬ urday night it is the proper thing to set your clock ahead one hour, so that you will have the time right for get¬ ting up the next morning. This con¬ tinues in effect until the last Sunday in October.

A surprise dance was held on Sat¬ urday evening and the boys voted it one of the best nights since they had been in the Army. The opening num¬ ber was the singing of the Star Sang- led Banner, after which peppermint sticks were given out and everybody danced, singing school day songs. Danc¬ ing continued until 9:00 p. m., the first intermission. The second part of the program was started with a tag dance followed by an elimination dance. Mis? Mildred Stiles and partner were the winners and each received a box of candy. Miss Alice Lennon and partner each received a consolation gift, being the first couple eliminated. The gifts were a jar of candy sticks and a pipe.
The next number was a dance dur¬ ing which lollypops were distributed. A Nantucket followed, which finished the second part.
The third part opened with a cake walk in which five couples took part. Miss S. Walters and partner were the winners and each received a home¬ made cake. As the next dance start¬ ed, paper hats were given out and everybody sang "Smiles" as they danced. Dancing continued until 11 o'clock when to the tune of "Home Sweet Home" paper streamers were throvra, concluding the program.

"The city ordinance provides that upon the approach of any fire appa¬ ratus, the driver of any vehicle shall immediately stop such vehicle as near as possible to the nearest curb and re¬ main there until such fire apparatus has passed. This is for the other fel¬ low: it doesn't mean you. The city ordinance also prohibits driving over the fire hose. This is also for the other fellow."
"When you hear the fire truck com¬ ing, get an even start and race with it. Don't forget to open your muf¬ fler, blow your horn and holler; it makes the race more exciting."
"There is also an ordinance prohib¬ iting stopping a vehicle within fifteen feet of a fire hydrant, but dont let this prevent your parking right in front of the one nearest the fire. There are plenty of other hydrants and the fire¬ man can hunt till they find one."
"If you haven't got any car, get to the fire the best and quickest way you can and get in the firemen's way to the limit of your capacity. Also, have all the women folks come along to add eclat."
"If you are not in too much of a hurry, call up Central and ask where the fire is. If you don't get immedi¬ ate attention, cuss good and plenty, as any telephone girl who can't an¬ swer you and six hundred other sub¬ scribers—who want to know where the fire is—all in a minute, ought to be discharged, and besides, the fire department never needs to use the telephone!"

The Village Board of Trustees met for organization last Monday evening. President Robert G. Anderson (re¬ elected) presiding. The members are John H. Mahnken, Franklin Bedell, Silas A. Williams and Henry L. Max¬ son.
The question of police for the year took up most of the time. It was de¬ cided to have a force of ten policemen with the special idea of giving bet¬ ter protection to outlying sections. President Anderson announced that Chief of Police Hanse had declined to take the office again, and was plan¬ ning to open an office as a special in¬ vestigator. He had decided not to appoint any successor to Chief Hanse but would remain as Chief of Police himself, as is provided under the vil¬ lage law. .\ resolution was passed fixing the salary of the Captain of Police at $1320 a year and raising the salary of the patrolmen from $95 a month to $100. John J. Dunbar was appointed captain, with the following patrolmen: William S- Merrill, Frank Grossman, John W. Schmidt, William
D. Jefl'erson, Peter Elar and Harry Gla.str. Schmidt and Glaser are new men. The re-appointment of Tony Fedden was held up until the Board could get him to express his intention cf giving his whole time to the work of the police department. His appli¬ cation showed he is engaged in the horse business and unless he will con¬ sent to give up the outside work thc Board will not re-appoint him.
Officer Adam Yulch, who was in¬ jured last year while serving as a motorcycle officer, was not given a regular appointment, but was placed at the head of the list of specials. His claim against the village for damages, on which he agreed to compromise for $2,000, is now before the Compensa¬ tion Commission.
It was also decided to buy new uni¬ forms for the re.sjiilar ofllcers.
The followini,' officers were re-ap¬ pointed:
Village Clerk, Sylvester P. Shea; to furnish a bond of $500.
Deputy Village Clerk, Miss Evelyn Bedell, bond same amount.
Meter Reader and Collector, Henr
E. Rider, same.
Street Commissioner, Millard F Bond.
Hydrant Inspector, James R. Smith, to be under supervision of Street Com¬ missioner,
The bond of the Tax  Collector, D. Frank   Seaman,  wa.s   fixed   at   $.'}000, ^nd of the Treasurer, S. Dimon Smith 'at $25,000.
The designation of banks for village funds was laid over till the next meet ing in order to give the special com¬ mittee, Trustees Williams and Bedell opportunity to see regarding secur¬ ing interest on large balances in the banks
The Nassau County Review, now the only newspaper in the village, was appointed the official paper for the year.
The time for holding regular meet¬ ings of the Board was changed from Thursday to Wednesday aftemoons, the time of meeting to be 4:00 p. m. €s at present.
President Anderson was given au¬ thority to sign regular payroll war¬ rants.
No action was taken on appoint¬ ment of village counsel. Albin N. Johnson, elected Police Justice, does not take that office till January 1, 1920, :ind in the meantime he asks the Board to re-appoint him as village ccunsel, which position he has held for the past year. There will be sev¬ eral applicants for the position when a change is made, including former Village President Sidney H. Swezey and Clinton M. Flint, now Police Jus¬ tice.
