SURPRISES AU mm AT BIG TRUCK MEEriNG
licit. "Cttrt" FdtMi ReceiTet Wed- dbf Gft — Barney Jekuoii Scrres Cliowder and Eels Sv- pcHbe—"Eats" Gireii By Con- inf Benedict and Speeckes Let Loose
Freeport, .lune «.—The regular meet¬ ing of Truck 1 held Tuesday night was fliled with surprises. •
Business was the order at the begin- hing, but no progress could be made because one man In the back of the room persisted In doing things that upset sny plans fot business that might be going on at the othfr end. He was Barney Johnson, the "de luxe ehef supreme," and he was making clam chowder and frying eels.
f'apt. Oeorge Hoffnmn called for or¬ der between kitchen snlffH and aome company affairs were attended to, but one eye and two nostrils Were kept on -..Barney all the time.
A letter was received from jCharles Hughes, of 285 .Smith street, thanking the flremen for their excellent work at a flre in his home recently and another from Chief Sanford Htc^ ot Ocean Hide, thanking Freepoit for Its valuable aid nt the school flre over there. In closing he said, "and in case of a future flre like the one we had we hope that our efforts will be as thorough and us effi¬ cient as yours."
It was decideil to inscribe the name •of Truck 1 on the silver cup won by thej company la.st I^obor Uay for the Motor j ,Hose Contest and donateii by James E. j HtUes. The cup must be won three times liy' one company;, to be the permanent owner. Howard E. IVarsall and Irving Hhleber were appointed a committee to have the Innorlptlon put on.
it wns voted to .send flowers to I'latt Conklhi, the company's flrst captain, who Is Heriously ill at hts home.
The truck is practising every evening for the tournament at I'ort Washington nnd the following men are turning out regularly: H. 1-3. Pearsall, K, Ashdpwn, 1. Hhleber. I). Pettlgrew, Ii. I.ake, R. Himmel, J. Hoffman, J. Hartman, Jr., W. Raynor and tl. Hoffman. Howard K. Pear.sall will be the captain of the team of eight men at the tournament.
One of the surprises of the evening was the feed that waf^urnlshed by Hee- ond Lieutenant Curtiss i<''..-iFultf)n, in ceiebration of his coming marriage. There were chowder, eels, coffee, an' flxin's all prepared by Barney Johnson, champion cook of the realm.
The second surprise of the evening was when the truck members presenteii to Second Lieutenant- Pulton a haml- , some gilt flower vase candelabra. , Capt.' 'rteorgc Hoffman, in presenting the token of esteem to the second lieu¬ tenant, said in part: "Comrade Fulton, . you have been a member of this com¬ pany ever since you were able to tell a flre alarm from an alarm clock. You • were the flrst mascot the company eVet had and have risen to the position of second lieutenant through sheer merit. /It gives me great pleasure to present 4to you on behalf of your comrades in this company this Uttle token of our es- , teem and to wish you long life and joy In your marriage. May you remember each one of us as this light Is before ,you at the evening meal."
Lieutenant Fulton was too fliled up Vith emotion and clam chowder to say much. He had been called out of the j-oom and all the light had been extin¬ guished lave those on the candelabra and when he came back into the room his eyes bulged out of his head.
Clearing his throat and ripping off his standing collar he managed to stutter a speech of acceptance something like thi-s:
"Comrades, this Is Indeed a surprise to me and I did not know that the news of my marriage had leaked out. Your irift to me, emlKidying un It does the good will of the company, will be treas¬ ured beyojid the m^re expressions of man and I shall indeed look upon It daily SH one of my pricelei^ possessions.
"By a strange coincidence only this afternoon my flancee made the remark that nil she needed to make life happy now is a cande—, a candl—, a can—, oh, one of those pretty ornaments you fel¬ lows have given us and on behalf of the lady and myself we thank you (rom the bottom of our hearts."
The rentainder of the evening was spent in a general good time and in lick¬ ing the platter clean of Barney .lohn- son's culinary concoctions. Former Chief Dimon Hmith was present, al^to Deputy Chiefs Mauersberger and Frits, also for¬ mer Chief Clarence B. Williams. <
Herbert Bingham, who lately became a tienedlct, made the evenlnjr 'lively by taking the rocks out of a rooking chair, but agreed to have the necessary repairs nutde before the next meeting. The Da Bllva Stores presented to the company 40 cups for the Closet Fund, which were gratefully accepted.

'TAST IS HISTORY, FUTUREffSTEllr
Secretary of War Weeks Opposes
Disarfaanent, Spcab For
Preparedness
New York, June 9.—Asserting that there are feverish military preparations among nations with whom the United States "might immiibly come In con- tart," SecreUry 'of War .Tohn W. Weeks, in an address here today strongly urged the adoption of a ration¬ al military policy which would enable the United States to avoid Ihe coatly blunders of the past.
Speaking at commencement exercises of New York University, the secretary said that expanding population makes It inevitable that some nations should j'ovet rich territories. He declared it would be the height of folly for the United States to consider disarmament under present conditions.
"We are prar'tlcally the only strong nation in the world which has not at some time in its history engaged In warfare as a result of selfish and un¬ worthy motives or desires," the secre¬ tary said.. "With posaiKly one excep tlon, we have never taken unfair atl- vantage of other njatlons: indeed, in establishing the Monroe Doetrlne Am¬ erica voluntarily assumed the obliga¬ tion of protecting the smaller nations of this hemisphere."
Though in no sense a military nation, the Secretary said, the Unlte<i Ktai.7H has nevertheless been engaged in one hundred and ten wars, campalgnu, or military expeditions during the 145 yearit of Its existence, and has l>e«>n Involved in Major wars for one sixth of the whole period of its existenee.
"The past is history—the future, mystery," said Secretary Weeks.
"It would be folly to let our hopes j for the future blind our eyes to the | in rellnq^^lshlng the chairmanship, facets of the past. History demfon-^ Postmaster (ieneral Ha.v.s warned party
