Fake, of Rutherford, one of the counsel for the municipalities, are both expected to be present and make addresses on the application of the Public Service Corporation for permission to increase its trolley fares to seven cents with An additional two cents for transfers and a further charge of one cent for a transfer on a transfer. "This tremendous increase in the cost of daily transportation would hit every family living along the trolley lines, and would tend to keep others making their homes in New Jersey," says Secretary V. B. Kelly, of the association.
"To the average family it would mean an increase of from $30 to $40 per year in expense of this character without counting anything for pleasure travel on Sundays and holidays. The matter is 80 important that every community in the county through which the trolley lines run should be represented by officials or citizens or both. Every civic organization should be sented. Everyone who can possibly do so is urged to attend so that there may be a full and aggressive expression of public sentiment.

Apply to CHILDS Employment Dept. 270 SIXTH NEW YORK. and Judge Fake will be able to give exact information on the situation." Another matter for discussion will be that of military highways.

Marshall writes: "Your letter to the War Department enclosing letter and sketch from Mr. John G. Ropes, Mayor of Englewood Cliffs, has been referred to this office. "The matter of road construction is one which this office is considering, and will consider during the coming spring. Plans hare not yet been direetly worked out covering road construction in connection with the various camps and cantonments.
The Mr. Ropes will receive consideration. Although it is not at all settled at this time that money pertaining to the construction work of the War Department be used for the construction or improvement of State Highways." There will also be a diseussion of the Hudson River Bridge project and the matter of establishing canteens for the soldiers at the Edgewater ferry and the Palisades Amusement Park. Many ladies in Eastern Bergen are interested in the establishment of canteens and they will probably be represented at the Hackensack meeting. NEW DRAFT BILL UP IN SENATE Action on Measure Calling 700,000 More Young Men to Register Expected Soon.
Washington, Mar. -With the German drive spurring it to action, Congress again today gave its attento measures to increase America's fighting strength. The Senate Was ready to act promptly on the bill making availfor the draft 700,000 young men able who have reached the age of 21 years since June 5, Registration Day. Final action was also scheduled for the resolution providing for the registraof the aliens made subject to the draft under treaties already signed or under negotiation. This measure, it has been estimated, will increase America's fighting forces by half a million more men.
These two measures would give the nation as many men as can be trained for many months to come. Before final action is taken on the new Draft Bill Senator New, of Indiana, will demand a test vote on Universal Military Service. The bill, as it stands now, authorizes the drafting of young men as they attain the age of 21 years from time to time, whenever the President decides they are required. Senator New has an amendment to make the measure permanently operative which would mean the equivalent of universal service. The vote on the amendment.
will furnish a test of the strength of universal service sentiment in the Senate. GERMAN NEWSPAPERS PRAISE BRAVERY OF BRITISH ARTILLERYMEN Amsterdam, 25.
