P0|NCARE SAYS
FRANCE WANTS
LASTING PEACE
President Of France Declares
Republic viii Not Accept
German Terms, but Must
Impose It's Own,


Nancy, May 14.--President Poincare,
In an address today, responded to
Germany's declaration regarding
peace contained in the German reply
to the American note.
France does not want Germany to
tender peace" said the president,
but wants her adversary to ask for
peace"
The president then made known
clearly the only kind of peace which
would be acceptable to France. The
address was delivered at the Molitor
garrison before a large number OF
Lorraine refugees, to whom the
president, after expressing his SYM
pathies and renewing promises of sol
idarity and protection, said:
viii Not Expose Positions.
France will not expose her posi-
tions to the dangers of new aggres-
sions. The central empires, haunted
by remorse for having brought on the
war. are terrified BY the indignation
and hatred they have stirred up in
mankind, and are trying today to
make the world believe that the en-
tente allies alone are responsible for
the prolongation of hostilities-a duh
irony which Will deceive no one.
Neither directly nor indirectly
have our enemies offered us peace.
But we do not want them to offer 1t
to us; we want them to ask it of us
We do not want to submit to their
conditions; we want to impose ours
on them. We do not want peace
which would leave imperial Germany
with the power to recommence the
war and keep Europe eternally me-
naced. We want peace which re-
ceives from restored rights serious

DESCRIBES FINE
LIGHT SYSTEM
Councilman Sellers Visits Bing-
hamton and Tells of
Methods There

How the city of Binghamton, n. Y,
has solved its municipal lighting
problems and how 1t keeps surplus
of poles and overhead wires off the
streets, is told by Councilman A. j.
Sellers, probably the first borough Off
cial to advocate elimination of poles
and wires here.
Mr.. Sellers had occasion recently to
visit Binghamton, and while there
spent night with public officials in
specting the lighting system.
There are cluster form of lights on
standards is used entirely and the
clusters are so arranged, Mr. Sellers
explains. to permit all the lights with
the exception of single bulb on the
top OF the cluster to be turned off late
at night
Mr.. Sellers advocated the installa-
ton of similar system here and the
ordinance which will be introduced
next week at the instigation of Coun-
Gilman T. T. McEntee will likely be so
shaped.
The problem of poles is solved in
Binghamton, Mr.. Sellers says, by the
erection of concrete poles by the city.
These standards are then rented to the
various utility corporations at a nomi-
nal fee which results in an income to
the borough. All companies use the
same poles.

NEW COURTHOUSE
MOVE TO BEGIN
[Continued from First Pagel

the question of whether or not the
county and city by the terms of the
Harris grant, can legally unite in a
movement to build a new county and
city building on the site of the pres
ent structure.
Der grand jury was the third sugges-
ton OF the kind. and, according to ex-
Sheriff Wells this permits the county
authorities to act on the report.
President Judge kunkel in acceut-
Ing the grand jury's report Saturday
expressed his approval of the recon-
mendation. lie said the present build
ing has undoubtedly outgrown its pres
ent usefulness.
County Commissioner Wells who has
been one of the heartiest of advocates
for a new courthouse, said to-day that
the county is financially able at the
present time to float a bond issue to
the extent of 100000 to build a suitable
home for the county offices. If the
city can be persuaded to join in the
movement, the expense would be ap-
portionately less.
Until we know whether the Harris
srant which gave over the present site
for the courthouse, will permit the
county and city authorities to join in
a movement to erect a new structure
1t will hardly be worth while trying to
boost the move for a joint city and
county building" said Commissioner
Wells. This Is what I've asked Mr.
Meyer, our county solicitor, to deter
mine. Should there De a hitch in the
grant we might ask the Harris heirs
to get together and agree to a change
in the terms insofar as 1t relates to
a new joint building"
That remodeling of the present
courthouse would be practicable even

Gannett Helps Erie
Solve Flood Problem

Recently the Pittsburgh Dispatch
contained an interesting description OF
the plans which Erie has adopted to
prevent any recurrence of a flood like
that of last year which resulted in the
loss of twenty-four lives and much
property. This article shows the con-
dition following the flood and the de-
sign of the drift-catcher which will
prevent future trouble.
The Dispatch says:
with promptness unusual in mu-
nicipal affairs an appropriation of
$1,000 was voted for the carrying out
of comprehensive survey which
point the way for works to keep the
streams in bounds. Farley Gannett a
consulting engineer of Harrisburg. who
had had years of experience with the
rivers of Pennsylvania through hav-
ing been chief engineer to the State
Water Supply Commission, was en-
gagged to make the study and to indi-
cate the relief that could be obtained.
"The investigation was pushed with
all possible speed and plan was pro-
posed involving an expenditure OF
about 100000. The City Commission
approved the plan and submitted 1t to
the people of Erie at bond election.
After a stirring campaign, led by tn,
new Mayor. Miles B. Kits. the loan was
approved and on August 3. 1915. one
year after the flood had occurref

which will put the flood prevention
means into effect. Now Mill Creek is
to be absolutely controlled and floods
will not again be known in Erie.
What is. still more to the point. the

city property, formerly assessed at a
