The Fourth of July this year will be celebrated as never before, It will be a ’round the world affair. In the French Chamber of Deputies an nouncement that the day should be observed as a regular legal holiday in that country was received with en thusiastic cheers. In Great Britain it is anticipated that the day wi.l be celebrated with as much ceremony as if it were a British festival. Uruguay and other states of South America have given notice that they will properly cele brate the great day. Italy will be as sisted in celebrating the festival by a detachment of American troops spe cially despatched to Rome. At home the day will be observed with unusual and befitting solemnity and fervor. In every educational establishment in France on Wednesday will be read the eloquent address on the Fourth of July delivered in Parliament by Jules Pam, Minister of the Interior, American troops overseas in camps and along the battlefields may be trusted to fittingly observe “the glo rious Fourth.’’ Not the least important and significant incident of the cele bration at home will be the launching from American yards of fourteen de stroyers. ------------- 9 ------------- A Shot at Nassau Weeklies.

From the Suffolk County News. One of the best indications that the Republican party in Suffolk County j is in a healthy condition is the lively interest in the important offices to be i filled at the elections this fall. The ‘^Sunrise County” is making an early start for the fall campaign. In Nassau but little has been heard about prospective candidates, although it is understood that personal activity is not entirely lacking. The organiza tion members, however, have mani fested no marked concern over the coming situation and are not likely to until late in August. . ------------------ S ------------------ Sensible Action. From the New Era, Lynbrook. The Town Board has taken sensible action in the case of selling dquor to soldiers. The military authorities asked that the entire town of Hemp stead be made dry, but the board de cided to restrict the sale of liquor to that drunk at the bar or on the prem ises, There is no question but that soldiers obtain drink, but it is not fair to close all the restaurants and cafes in the town and then let the saloons in the adjacent towns, which are inNew York City, remain open. The liquor dealers generally are the preparation against the practice of selling to sol diers, for their own protection, as the penalty is very strong if detected. The liquor has been mostly obtained from “bootleggers” and there is noth ing to prevent them from obtaining the rum in New York and selling j it in Hempstead town, and the blame j then comes to Hempstead. If all liquor must be drunk where sold this makes certain that none of it can be passed out to men in uni- ; form, and it puts the blame directly up to other sources. If the entire state were dry the proposition would ! be different, but to discriminate against Nassau County and to blame j them for the sins of Queens and 1 Kings and New York Counties, is not 1 fair. The restaurants along the Mer- j rick road and in other localities are 1 legitimate business enterprises and 1 Thera Is n tale of Onlllpoll that deals with a fight In the open and ex hibits the “unspeakable\ Turk ns a fair and worthy enemy. This la the Ftory A yonng English officer, doing ob servation work alone, was suddenly confronted hy a Turkish officer, simi larly engaged. The Turk was as sur prised as the Ttrlton, but came forward revolver In hand. The Englishman had no revolvers. He stood his ground, his hands In the large pockets of his tunic. Seeing that his adversary was un armed, the Turk, much to the surprise of the Briton, threw down his gun and put up his fists In approved prize ring style. The Englishman put himself on guard, and the next moment the Turk flung himself on him, and the pair began to fight desperately. The men were about the same age, the same weight and had adequate knowledge of the art of boxing. They fought without stopping for about ten minutes. By that time each was ex hausted, and then paused for a brief rest, only to continue their little private accounting when they had found their breath. Round after round the fight went on, while out In the Gulf of Saroa the ships fired automatically, and back of each of them the field artillery thundered. Neither seemed to be able to get any decisive advantage over the other, and at last Turk and English man rolled over on the ground and laughed and laughed. Just then the Englishman’s hand touched something. It was the Turk’s pistol. He picked It up and handed It to his enemy. Then the two young men shook hnnds and each returned to his own lines. The “Big Four,” for a number of years a prominent Republican organi zation of Hempstead township, held its annual outing on the hay last week. The “old cow,” which has always sup- -plied liquid refreshments for the po litical warriors, at the annual jolli fication, was again aboard the boat that conveyed the party across the b a y and received liberal patronage. Everybody had a good time. The appointment of W. W. Cocks of Westbury as manager of the cam paign of Governor Whitman is con- i sidered a good one, according to the 1 Brooklyn Times. When he was the j representative from this district in ; the lower house of the National Leg islature, Mr. Cocks was sent abroad by President Roosevelt on a most im portant mission, and he discharged his duties at that time in a manner that | showed an ability that justified the i Governor in leaving his political fate I in his hands. There is disappointment over the number of women who registered | throughout Nassau County, it is re- i ported. With 75 p er cent, of the new voters registered under the Republi can emblem, the politicians are said to be anxiously waiting to see how they will vote at the primaries. Few complaints are reported to have been lodged with Nassau County assessors at grievance day hearings. Property owners are evidently satis- | 'field with their assessments, and the acceptance of the valuations for tax purposes indicates that the officials have performed their duties in a fair and impartial manner. WORK OF OLD MEN IN WAR If it be true that county advertis ing in Nassau County costs as much as $50,000 a year, Nassau County needs the advice and assistance of an advertising expert. The circulation of any weekly newspaper in Nassau County is a negligible percentage of the population. As publicity, such county advertising does not count; it is a .ight under a bushel. In the midst of war it is mostly indefensible waste.— E. B. Lent in Brooklyn Eagle. Nassau County has had plenty of “expert” advice in and placing of advertisements, and “pruning\ became effective in several directions, particularly the tax sale notices. The county is not spending $50,000 a year for advertising pur- 'poses, according to reliable reports. If it did, the Eagle contributor can rest easy, that every item of it would come under a legal status or the charges get a kick out from the super visors’ or comptroller’s departments. Claims against Nassau are receiving dose scrutiny and have been for some time past.

Geniuses Who Did Not “Lag Super fluous on the Stage” During the Present Conflict “Old men for counsel,” Is the saying; “young men for war.” But this war rather falsifies the old adage. At sev enty-seven Clemenceau of France re mains so energetic that he still de serves his cognomen of the “tiger.” Joffre was an old man when he won the battle of the Marne. Lloyd George is not exactly young. Woodrow Wil son Is past sixty. But none of them seems to require the Osier method of being chloroformed out of existence, says the Spokane Spokesman Review. These veterans do not “lag superfluous on the stage.” Cato learned Greek at eighty. Chaucer composed his “Can terbury Tales” at sixty. Goethe tolled to the end and his “Faust” was not completed till he had overlived eighty. Simonides won a prize for poetry and Sophocles wrote “Oedipus” when each had passed fourscore. Theophrastus outdid them all, for he was ninety when he commenced his “Characters of Men.\ Urges Wheatless Pledge. Citizens of Nassau County are urg ed to adopt the wheatless pledge by Deputy Food Administrator A. D. W’eeks, Jr., as it is an opportunity to help the war situation, and the small personal privation involved will bring joy in the fee.ing that besides activities otherwise something is be ing done, not only for the Allies, but for the starving populations of those countries overun by Germans. WANTAGH There will be services at Memorial Congregational Church Sunday even ing as usual, but the morning service will be discontinued during July. 'Miss Grace Link of New York is spending a week’s vacation with Mrs. Helen Shearer. BALDWIN A novel scheme to sell thrift stamps was originated by the talented Leigh ton Brothers, actors, in the way of an entertainment given Saturday evening, in which prominent mem bers of the Lights' Club, Freeport, took part. Tickets were sold for fifty cents, entitling the purchaser to two thrift stamps and entrance to the hell on payment of an extra twenty-ifive cents. In spite of the fact that only a couple of days was given to adver tise the show, a good crowd was present. The entertainment was full of fun and laughter and pronounced the best ever given in Baldwin. The artists were introduced by George Mc Kay in a novel and original manner The committee in charge of the W. S. S. drive is grateful to the ar tists who furnished the entertain ment. Lewis Kelly has purchased a new Hupmobile from Leighton’s Garage. Harry Pettit and Miss Viola Ray nor, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wal ter Raynor, both of Baldwin, are to be (married, it is announced, on Wed nesday of next week. The Christian Endeavor Society of the M. P. Church was led by the pres ident, Jessie Wortman, on Friday evening. The Junior «Choir of the M. P.

Secret service organizations and spy systems, ns well as detective bu reaus as part of municipal police forces, were originated by the Mar quis D'Argerison, a native of Venice who went to France In 1637 and be came head of the police department. D’Argenson first achieved fame as a state secret agent In Venice. In Paris he organized a municipal secret agency that would now be called a de tective bureau. After he had trans formed the Paris police force from a disorderly band into a highly efficient body of gendarmes, he turned his at tention to internntionol affairs and In augurated a system of espionage In foreign nations likely to be at war with Brance. Carl Stleher organized the Prussian spy system on the model furnished by D’Argenson’s force and sent thousands of men into Austria and France be fore the wars against those countries. Mrs. E. A. Hanington and son left this week for (Saranac Lake, N. Y., where they will spend a few weeks with Mrs. Charles 'Schafer. Elvin Bodley spent Saturday and Sunday in Wantagh.

In the afternoon at the clubhouse on RandaL Bay will be given a con cert and music furnished for dancing. There will also be water sports on the bay. A t evening there will be a re ception and dancing in the club house. iiK$he suburban territory? The assertion that publicity in weeklies does not count, is eradicated by the general demand for it by the people, and results frequently attest ed in letters and personal testimo nials. Advertising is not “mostiy inde fensible waste,” as the Eagle con tributor says, “in the midst of war,” or at any other time, and it is a fore gone conclusion that the Eagle pub lishers do not agree with such a be lief. Advertising is essential at all times, and in the main, profitable. County, town, village and other mu nicipal advertising is ca.kd for by fixed statutes and cannot be evaded. The weeklies issued within the terri tory are entitled to the patronage. them. Twenty-two violations of the game laws in Suffolk County during May netted $303.70 in fines. The offenses were illegally taking trout and other fish; attempting to shoot wild geese; fishing on posted lands; possessing wild deer out of season and violating hunting licenses. Radical reductions in the quantity of coal consumed in the manufac ture of electricity and gas used for street lighting, advertising and store and theatre illumination, wid be put into effect soon by an order which the Fuel Administration announced is in preparation. Of Course. A young author said to William Dean Howells at a reception In the latter’s honor In Miami: “That was Astorbilt who Just asked you for your autograph, sir.
