orderly conduct before, there had
been none since the license was re-
voked. He also said that the pro-
prietor of the Logan Inn told him
that his liquor receipts had actually
decreased since the Delaware House
had lost its license, thus showing
that the people of New Hope bor-
ough were drifting away from the
drink habit.
Mr.. Borden, Mr.. Middleton and
Mr.. Simon all testified along the
same line, especially as to the i'm
proved condition of the busy corners
of Main and Bridge street, where
much drunkenness used to be in evil
dence.
The remonstrance against the
Logan Inn was withdrawn, it being
understood that H. NJ. KIair, the
present owner, will vacate in favor
of someone else.

paratus should be purchased for
work in the sciences.
He also suggests that an easier
approach in the immediate vicinity
of the building should be provided.
The special committee in charge
of the consultation with DIR. Kendall
recommend that the improvements
be carried out.
The committees report says that
the board has receded from its for
mer stand, since the state authori-
ties disagree so widely, and will do
simply what is necessary to retain
the state support.
The committee compares the gen
erous support of the city's fire de-
partment with the parsimony eXhib-
tied toward the school system, but
says that if the people favor it they
will abide by the verdict.
The committee thinks, however,
that more money will ultimately be
spent in patching than would be re-
quired to build new.

LAMBERTVILLE
SCHOOL FIGHT
ENDS AT LAST

State Commissioner of Education
Calvin N. Kendall has notified the
Lambertville Board of Education of
the requirements to be complied
with if the high school is to remain
upon the approved list.
Removing the high school from
this list would mean that the grad
yates could not enter the State Nor
NAL School without examination, and
would be at a disadvantage in enter
ing colleges and universities.
1t would also take away 5000 each
from five teachers, or $1,000 per
year, which the local people would
have to make up by taxation.
DR.. Kendall expresses regret that
the people of Lambertville do not
see their way clear to building new
school down in the town, and thinks
there should be more local pride.
He names the following require
ments as necessary for the retention
Of the school in its present status:
Two more fire escapes, one from
the auditorium and one from the I'd
floor classrooms.
Removal of sliding doors from the
front entrance.
Ventilation should be improved.
Outside toilets should be renovat-
ed and improved.
The ceiling over the heater should
be fireproofed.
One more room should be added,
or three more if the 7th and 9th
grades are to be retained on the hill
From 500 to $3.50 worth of
books should be purchased for the
high school library.
Approximately $500 worth of ap-

RETAINS
AFRICAN TERRITORY
HER CONGO POSSESSIONS ARE
AS BIG AT oNE-FOURTH
OF EUROPE.

Washington, d. c., May 22.-Describ-
ing the Belgian Congo, the National
Geographic Society, in a statement is
sued today, says:
although Belgium controls less
than 300 square miles of her territory
at home, she is still possessed of a
colony one-fourth as large as all Eu-
rope together 1t is larger than the
combined area of all the countries
now at war, outside of Russia. That
colony is the Belgian Congo, with
nearly million square miles of terri
tory.
"This empire is carved out of the
heart of equatorial Africa and includes
within it's confines one of the worlds
great rivers, the Congo, from which
the colony takes its name. The river
has a course of about 5000 miles. and,
with its tributaries, offers wonder
full system of communication for open
ing up the rich hinterland. 1t is esti-
mated that there are 5000 miles, OF
navigable waters in the colony, while
the Congo River is navigable for
ocean steamers for 100 miles up
stream. Here follows a section OF
200 miles of rapids, above which the
river is navigable for 1900 miles.
The work of exploiting the heart Of
Africa has Just begun. There has been
CONSIDERABLE difficulty in inducing Eu-
ropean colonists to emigrate to these
regions and begin new homes. First,
the Congo has the evil reputation of
being no fit country for the white man,
and, secondly. a feeling has existed
that a permanent home there meant
permanent burial without the pale of
civilization. Therefore, the promoters
of the Congo have had to overcome a
great unwillinghess among their peo-
pie to exchange the comforts and GER
tainties of the motherland for the
questionable advantages of pioneering
in the wild, dark country which has
successfully defied all progress foi
ten thousand years.
Some advance, however, has been
made, and the future of the colony
seems to be one of promise. AL
though the climate is generally hot
and moist, it is supportable by the
white man. The climate of the coas:
lands is least endurable for the Euro
peans, Over great deal OF this terri
tory, normal temperatures range be-
tweeEh7G0 and 80 degrees, Rain is
everywhere abundant. The extreme
heat of the day is generally relieved

'The white population of this land
remains still negligible. The total
population has been estimated at 49,

5000 whites. The native population,
while overwhelmingly superior in
numbers, has been awed by the white

COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK. December 81. Firm
Liverpool cables were followed by an
opening advance of six to nine points
in the cotton market here today. Ad-
ditional January notices amounting to
900 bales were reported in circulation
but evidently caused little liquidation
while houses, with Liverpool connec-
tons were again active buyers of near
months. The firmness abroad seemed
to be taken by some local traders as
a forerunner of a more active export
demand, as a result of diminishing
foreign stocks, and a better feeling
with reference to the Ancona AFFAIR
was also in evidence around the ring
as prices worked about IL to IA points
above last nights closing figures. jan
uary sold at 1924. March at 1852 and
May at 1915 before the end of the
first hour.
The early advance, which carried
prices about So per bale above the re-
cent low level. attracted enough real
izing to cause reactions of 4 or 5
points, but the undertone continued
steady on reports of better demand
from exporters in the south. Trading
became comparatively quiet after the
close of Liverpool. and fluctuations dur
ing the middle of the day were narrow
and irregular. with March holding
around 1880. or about II points net
