GET MONEY RETURN

The contract for the disposal Of the
city's garbage for the next nine years,
commencing June 1, was awarded
yesterday afternoon to the American
Reduction Works, Inc, of Newark, y.
J. The bids we're considered at a
special meeting Of the Board Of
Health. only Two estimates being re-
ceiyed. these being from the Newark
concern and the Wilmington Sanitary
Company, the present holders Of the
contract
The arst bid. that of the Wilmington
company showed the following figures;
$4,000 each year for the first four
years and $4,000 per year for the suc7
cccdina five years They also agree 10
turn over to the city 10 per cent OF
the net profits over $4,000 per year.
The proposal went on TO state that
thev had considered the drying OF
green garbage as proposed IN the
specifications, but had found that the
process for such work creates very
disagrceable odor. An agreement to
turn over the entire disposal plant to
the CITY al the expiration Of the con-
tract is also contained in the bid. The
successful bid asked for S2,400 pei

for tho next three years and $500 fol

there would be no complaint against
the manufacture and sale Of this ma
terial by Americans. Morally aud leg
ally the manufacture of war material
and its impartial sale to all comers
is as iustihable as the manufacture
and sale Of bread or clothing or OBJ

n Americans are undertaking TO de-
liver war material in England they
deserve TO lose their cargOes. and
Germany has a perfect right to seize
or sink vessels carrying such contra
band. The same is true as to contra
band cargoes bound for Germany, But
when Americans confine their actiyi-
tics TO the manufacture and delivery
of this material within the boundaries
of the United States. leaving to the
purchaser the task of transporting It
across the ocean, they are engaged in
q lawful business and are entitled 10
the full protection of their govern

The German government Is aware
of these facts, of course. II made no
protest against the manufacture and
sale of war material here when there
was an opportunity 10 procure it for
German uses. And there is no evidence

THE MEXICAN FIAsCO.

From the Washington Post
Little surprise will be caused by
the informal statements that Cen
Funston is rushing to Brownsville,
Tex, to take charge of the situation
which has resulted from the battle
now in progress on the other side Of
the border.
The fact that the War Department
is disturbed by the report that bull
lets from Mexican guns are dropping
on the American side. endsngering
American lives and property, likewise
should cause no surprise.
AS a matter of fact, everything that
has happened in Mexico since Huera
was ousted is mere fulhllment Of
predictions made al that time.
Few persons who had followed the
Mexican situation doubted that villa
and Carranza would be fighting each
other within a few months after the
capture of Mexico City.

the american government lOcl tulS

Germany's Protest
; (From The Washington Post)

The request by Germany that the
United States should refuse TO permit
war material TO be sold to Great Brit
ain is ONE that cannot be granted by
this country without grossly violating
It's neutrality and in effect becoming
an ally OF Germany. The request is
an embarrassment TO the United
States. because IL is on friendly terms
with all the nations at war, and, OF
course. IL does not wish 10 be forced
TO assert its determination to remain
neutral even at the expense Of cordial
relations.
The German government must have
known thet ITS request could not be
granted. Americans are acting wholly
within their rights when they manu-
facture war material and sell it to any
body who desires H. Thousands Of
Americans make their living in this
branch Of manufacture. They are inn
partial. and would sell 10 Germany
just as quickly as to England They
cannot undertake TO deliver these mu-
nitions to either country. All they
can do is 10 deliver the goods in this
country.
BY the fortunes OF war, England is
able 10 como here and get war ma
terials. and Germany cannot. Ameri-
cans did not create this condition, and
they should not be penalized for it.
Germany demands too much when
it asks Americans 10 abandon their
business in order TO remove a condi-
tion that works disadvantageously 10
