Failure of Borough Election Now Thought Due to Mere
 GaPelessTess.
Especial Q the Farmer.)


 Newtown. May 10-F'ee1ing over the failure to hold am annual bor- ough meeting here has now abated, and tbYsa " ho1 s1aaL q purposed to at tend the election, having recovered from their disappointment, feel that done to borough officials and especial ly to Clerk Beardsley in supposing that the call for the meeting had been purposely omitted.
 F C. Corbett who is correspondent for the Farmer in Newtown, said. this morning:
 q feel that in my story of the de- ferred town meeting did an inJus- tice to Borough Clerk Charles F. Beardsley Tn the facts as then pre- sented 1t was made to appear that upon MT Beardsley developed the whole responsibility for warning the meeting. Under the charter it was no more his duty than that of other borough officials to warn the meeting.
 tsBut the point in which injustice was done to Mr. Beardsley was in making it appear that he would will fully have refrained from calling the meeting, and in making it appear that he sought in any way to avoid any responsibility because it was not called.
 <PoIitics raise much unnecessary suspicion In the cold light of the day after everybody believes the fall ure to call the election was a mere error of human forgetfulness, and s11r Beards1ey is exonerated by n.y. self and every body else in NewtoWp from any blame in the matter.
 make this statement cont1nu- cd MT Corbett, sas the duty of an honest man to his neighbor. and that the injustice to MT BeardsIey will be corrected in as public. a manner as r1fsssi ,If.

BERLIN. Nov. 2O.-The min
lister Of education of Prussia has
issued a decree, according to
which the various school authori-
ties are directed to give the pupils
a vacation that they may syste-
matically collect the beechnuts
and acorns which now are falling,
for the sake of the oil and fats
they contain The minister of
agriculture has estimated that
four hundred thousand tons Of the
former, and one hundred thou
sand tons OF the latter will 20 to
waste unless some definite steps
are taken to gather them. From
the components Of the nuts, it
has been found, a very acceptable
table oil can be prepared which it
is believed will go a long way to
relieve the present shortage in
that commodity.

POLAND PLEADING
FOR STARVED ONES
Reopening Of Factories and
Protective Tariff Is
Being Urged.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press)
WARSAW, Poland, oct. 2S.-Plead-
ing that three millions persons de.
pendent on the industries Of Poland
are starving the Workman's Union
Of Poland has sent to the governor
general Herr Won Beseler. a mcmo-
rial urging the reopening of the fac
tories, the adoption of a protective
tariff and the return Of machines
mechanical fitting and especially belts
and gears, which were taken out OF
the factories and work shops during
tie early days of German occupation.
The memorial states that "thC
working population of Poland III.
cludes $4,000 workmen in factories
COOOO in the building trade, and 500
600 in small industries" Including
the families of these worlmen, this
Industrial population reaches total
of three million persons, with a nor
NAL income Of about S15O,OQ0,OOO a
year.
Many Yet Starving.
A certain proportion Of this popu-
lation, it is stated, has been sent to
Germany, and another section are re-
ceiving aid from their former employ
help them But there is still a great
mass of people who are actually
starving" says the memorial "and
for the sake Of these persons it Is ad-
visable to put at least some of the
fectorles into operation, especially
the sugar, vinegar, and yeast fac
tories. mills, breweries, sawmills,
brickyards, and foundries."
The memorial dealg briefly with the
question of articles Communicated by
the German military authorities,
stating that the complete confisca-
ton of all raw material would para
I'VE industry, and that enough ma
chinery should be left in the factories
to enable them to continue in partial
operation

June 22 by the German commander
Is criticised as unsuitable, because 1t
fails to protect Polish industry, and
