Motor Truck Engines
 Will Be Standardized

Washington, June 5-@Standard di- for motor truck engines and transmission machinery under army requirements have been agreed upon by leading makers, it was announced yesterday by the Society of Automo- Engineers, following a series of con- ferences with army officers and the council of national defense.
 Weekly meetings of truck manufac- turers and engineers will be held in Washington and Detroit to perfect the code, and a conference in Washington to consider standard izing of axles and frames has been called for June 15.
 The enormous significance of this work" says the announcement, ''lies not only in the ability of makers to meet government requirements for 10000 military trucks, but in fact that trucks evolved will be particularly suc- cessful for commercial use, particu- larly for owners of large fleets in ci- ties. Parts will be interchangeable without regard to make, and repairs will be greatly simplified."

GivE HUNDRED YEARS AGO.
EMPEROR ALEXANDERS DECLA- .is e.1 RATION.

The armies of the allied powers have occupied the French capital. The allied sovereigns meet the wishes of the French nation. They declare, that if the conditions of peace re- Quired stronger guarantees when the object in view was the restraining of Bonaparte's ambition, they ought to be more favorable, as soon as by France herself shall offer the assur- ance of tranquility The allied sov- ereigns proclaim therefore,
 That they will treat no more with Napoleon Bonaparte or with any of his family:
 That they respect the integrity of ancient France, such as existed under her legitimate Kings,
 They may even do more, because they always profess the principle, for the happiness of Europe, France ought to be great and strong;
 That they will recognize and guar antee the constitution which the French nations shall give itself.
 They accordingly invite the Senate to appoint a provisional government, capable of providing for the wants of administration, and of preparing such constitution as. may be adapted A@ the French people.
 The intentions which I have ex- pressed are common with me, with all the allied powers

COUNCIL VOTES TO MAKE WATER
 STREET. WIDER
Mayor Vetoes Garage Per. init and Bridge Action
 Is Rescinded

By action of Alderman Malcolm MacFayden, who introduced a resolu- ton at last nights council meeting asking for reconsideration of the vote on the Island Brook bridge, the matter was referred back to his committee on streets and sidewalks. Because there is no appropriation for the work, Mayor Wilson would have vetoed the previous action of the council for the erection of the bridge.
 The mayor vetoed the councils. ac. ton approving a permit to Harry Platt to erect a public garage in Golden Hill street. The mayor stated that the street was strictly residential and indications were that it would continue so for some time.
 The council rescinded a former &C., ton granting permission for curb gasoline pump to be placed at Strat- ford and Connecticut avenues by A. F. Graves. The pump is such location was determined to be a nuisance.
 After a hearing which developed no opposition, the council ordered the widening of Water street by cutting down the width of the sidewalk ta seven feet on the west side from Golden Hill street to State street and reducing the width On the east side to six feet from Fairfield avenue to State street.
 IA hearing was ordered for June 1; at the office of the city clerk on a res. olution of President John A. Leonard of the fire board, creating a fire pre- vention bureau. The lk1reau would consist of four men acting in the ca. pacity of inspectors for all buildings.

Nursing babies are not, however, inn mune to infantile paralysis.
 In more than ten per cent. of the cases visited in New York there was conclusive evidence that infection was through personal contact with pre- viouS cases. In New Rochelle, where the sparsely settled community made inquiry more easy, 3S per cent of the cases were found to result from per- sonal contact. As the number of chill dren per family increased the cases per family increased.
 The committee encountered several instances in which the evidence point ed to mild, non-paralytic cases of in fantile paralysis as being the imme- diate forerunner of other cases hav- ing the more serious symptoms.
 The committee collected data on food, domestic animals and insects as possible sources of infection. This they present in the report without drawing any fixed conclusions but the evidence is against the idea that infec- tion comes from food.
 Inquiry was also made as to the spread of epidemic through the co1f- tamination of food at it's source. The fewest number of cases occurred among nursing children receiving va rious froms of cows milk, but by far the greatest number of children were using pasteurized bottled milk in which no microbes of the disease could be presumed to exist. Several cases of supposed milk infection disclosed upon investigation DO evidence that the dis ease was carried by the food supply.
 Inquiry among dealers in domestic animals of various kinds and veterin- arians discovered no connection be- tween polionyelitis and the diseases of domestic animals

County Commissioners

So- lend, who said at the First Presby- terian church Sunday that the coun- ty commissioners had issued more than the number of liquor licenses al- lowed by law, the commissioners have made a statement explaining their position Solend, is reported to have stated that 30 more than the le- gal number of licenses had been is- sued. He claimed he had protested in vain against this action.
 Commissioners Frank E. Ballard and John Brophy said today they had never seen Solend and were positive he had made no complaint to them. The books show that at present there are 321 licenses, 21 wholesale, 56 drug. three beer and B club. The number of retail licenses is smaller than a few years ago and the commissioners say the total numper has not increas- cd
