'HYSTERIA' OVER WAR
CRITICIZED BY GERMAN
Editor of Camden County Jour
nal Says It's Ridiculous to
Get Excited
The hysteria prevalent In some sections
of the country over the prospect of war
with (Sermany was criticized In an editorial
today by Otto Urdleln. editor of the Cam
den County Journ.il.
Despite reports to the rontiary. he said,
there was little piospeet of war' with tier
many, which now has sufficient burdens In
opposing tlm Allies. Krdleln Is one of
the leaders of the (lerman-Amerlcan eltljns
of South Jersey.
The editorial follows:
"Judging by the lit of hysteria ami
paranoia which has seized this country
one would think we were mi the eve of a
llfe-and-death struggle. As a matter of
fact wo are not yet at war, and, personally,
we feel very sute that we shall not get
Into the war. Uut. supposing we do. Is
there nnythliiff In the prospect of a war
with (Jermany which should throw this
great and powerful country Into such an
exhibition of hysteria as It has given dur
ing the la3t few days?
"If Ciernnny were not engaged In a
great and tenlhle war, we might under
stand this attitude of our people. But for
two and one-half years Hermany has been
righting the most powerful coalition the
world has ever seen. Kor the samo length
of time she has been cut off from Inter
courFe with the lest of the world, and lias
had to depend upon her own reuources and
ingenuity to supply her people with tho
many things wh cli are needed to sustain
life and carry on a great war.
"What, then. Is theie in the prospect ot
a war witli (lerniany which makes so many
of our people act so childishly? It Is not
an encouraging spectacle and we cannot
understand It at all. if woise comes to
worst all we shall have to do Is to add our
navy and ai my to those of the Allies who
already outnumber the Teutons at least
four to one
"Is this anything to glow hysterical
about? Fiirtheriiioie, theie does not exist
the slightest possibility of Germany's send
ing a Meet of warships or an army oer
here. The 3000 miles of oo-an which sepa
rate the countries make our venture a
very safe, easy and not at all lieiolu step.
There Is nothing whatever in the situation
which should make strong and sane men
act like hopeless paranolacs, who are seized
hv terrible fits of fear at the thought of
the weird phantasm which their terrified
brain:! hae conjured up,
"Let us go to war if we must, but let
us leftise to make ourselves ildlculnus
by making such a dreadful fuss oer the
prospect of Joining the pow'erful pack
against which (lei many Is barely able to
maintain herself. When n crowd ot bul
lies Is lighting one brave and determined
body, the full-grown, powerful maji who
joins the mob sutely has no reason to get
hysterical, unless, perhaps, he Is In mortal
terror lest he himself may leceive a little
icratch while the light lasts.
"All agicomeiHs hae gone by the board
In this war and to expect any one to live
up to rules Is asking a good deal, especially
If the niles are to woik only one way"

PAIN HALTS TROLLEYS;
M0T0RMEN 'MOVE UP'
Each Man Takes Car Ahead
When Stomach Ache Makes
One Quit
It takes more than a pain In a inotorman's
"tummy'' to stop the Philadelphia Rapid
Transit Company. System lias evolved a
pain killer.
Shortly after 8 o'clock this morning nn
eastbound Market street surface oar stopped
on Penn Square near Juniper street. The
motorman said. "I'm going to beat it," and
darted fiom the car.
Passengers In despair thought they were
stuck, and possibly a universal stilke fever
had taken possession of transit emplo.ves.
Cars weie stalled back of the first one until
a line twenty cars long readied around
South Penn Squat e and back onto Market
street as far as Fifteenth stieet.
Then the svstem began to wink, and tho
motorman from each stalled car moved up
one and took the controller of the- car ahead
of his own. The blockade was broken. As
each newly arrived car rolled up the motor
man skipped ahead, until an extra man was
rushed from the nearest reseive station.
The emergency department men said: "It
often happens; tiie 'move-up' system Is one
of our 'safety-first' rules. Motornen get
pains once In a while."

Huge Ice Hoes driven by the strong

Many New Jersey residents did not reach

A sudden change In the wind directed all
the ice on the liver to the Jersey shore and

Avenue lltKiness Men's Association, the
Hilteau of lllghwajs has ptomlsed to Malt
lepaving Ilio avenue fiom Fifty-sixth stieet

but will make no promise as to when
the Icmalnlug stutch will lie placed In
good condition. This, accoidlug to Mr
I'cdlow. Is inn' of the wolst sections of

any motorist who has any legnrd for I tie
iprlngs of Ids car or ills personal comfort

Speaking of tin. condition uf Woodland
avenue .rr IVdlow said: 'The belglan
blocks with which Woodland avenue Is now
paved wete put down many venrs ago, and
sliue then no attempt lin:i been made to
keep the roadway iti proper condition except
u little lepaving In units which were rrnllv
dangerous About a vcar ago that i-cctlon
between Fiftieth and Fifty-sixth streets was
rep.ivcd with cut granite blocks; It Is this
paving vie want contlmiul. and I see no
reason why the good vvotk could tml be car
lied on fuMber to the countv line at Seventy-third
itrcet Woodland avenue business
Is suffering because of the poor roadway
Motorists coming from Delaware County bv
way of I Mt by Instead of using Woodland
avenue go a mole roundabout way lu older
to cscnpe the Jars nnd jolts which they
would receive on the avenue.
"After dalk this condition Is made doubly
bad by the poor lighting, thrro being about
thiee arc lamps to the block Instead of
double that number, as there should be.
A poor toad and bad street lighting am not
Inducenu'iiti lo travtl of anv Hnrt."
