In telling of the inspection of the
three dairies, an account of which
was published in the EVENING
NEWS Saturday. Inspector William
Wilhelm today Nenied that his criti-
cisms included the homes of all the
dairymen as well as their dairies. Mr..
Wilhelm was particularly emphatic in
denying that he had criticised the
home of Isidore Feldman at Kinsey
Corner The inspector said he had
not gone into the home and there
fore was not in q position to crtticise
it, but had every reason to believe 1t
was clean. Mr.. Wilhelm said that the
only home entered during Fridays
inspection was that of A. E. Nice.
Regarding the dairies of all three
men. however, and the milk that they
were serving, Inspector Wilhelm was
most positive in declaring they were
far from what they should be and that
drastic action would have to be taken
to clean up.

held at City Hall this afternoon be-
tween Captain Treadway. of the

CAN GERMANY
PAY INDEMNITY?
Government Agencies at Wash
ington Investigating Question
of Enemy's Ability to Pay

6V "A SSOffut60 ffesa.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S:-Study
of Germany's financial situation has
been undertaken by government
agencies here with a view to throw
ing light on the ability of the Ger
man nation to pay big sums as repa-
ration for devastation of invaded
countries.
Unofficial reports indicate that
Germanys national debt represented
mainly by war bonds held within the
empire is now $35. 200, 100000. The
estimated national wealth is $SO,00O,-
100000. Although there has been
no official announcement or informa-
ton of the aggregate amount which
the allies will expect Germany to pay.
it is certain to run into billions of
dollars and necessarily the terms of
payment must accord with Germany's
ability to pay.
This ability will be measured by
the nations power to revive her peace
time industries and trade, and to tax
this for state purposes. Financial
overseers here say some claims for
restoration and restitution set forth
by interests in a few allied nations
are extravagant because they are be-
yond Germanys ability, even though
this is estimated at the highest.
cern themselves primarily 1t Is be-
lieved. with Germany's redemption of
her own national debt since this is
largely internal Officials here do not
believe the government will repudiate
the internal Indebtedness. but think
rather that taxes should be made so
heavy as to force citizens to turn in
their bonds for settlement. In this
way the debt would be cancelled
without actual reputation.
Whatever may be the weight of the
final burden of reparation and resti-
tuition to be placed on Germany, the
enormity of the task ahead of her
may be illustrated by comparison of
her national debt with tnat of the
United States. Germany has 66,OOO,-
600 population and 10000, 900, 900 of
estimated wealth to pay $4,000, ,00O,-
600 of war debt already created. The
United Sattes has 100, 900, 900 popula-
ton and an estimated national wealth
of $250,000.00 1000 to pay nearly
$4,000, 100000 war debt already Gre
ated, or approximately $4,000, ,O0O.-
600 within another six months. This
means that the per capita burden will
be at least three times greater in
Germany than in the United States.

FOR A BETTER
CITY, MORALLY
Federation of Local Churches
for That Purpose Proposed at
Meeting Held Yesterday

A meeting was held in the social
rooms of the Y. NJ. G. A. yesterday
afternoon which indicates that the
christian people in Perth Amboy are
waking to realization of the fact
that certain things are going on IN
this city. which are great detriment
to the morals of the community.
1t was a meeting called by several
ministers of the city. and they invited
the official boards of the churches and
any laymen who were interested TO
come to the conference. About fifty
men were present and the churches
represented were the Presbyterian,
First Baptist, Simpson Methodist,
Danish Methodist and Grace English
Lutheran. A discussion took place
after a general review of the lawless-
ness of the city. in which PARTICULAR
mention was made of the expressed
intention of the moving picture thea
ters to open on Sunday in defiance of
the law, and the confident expectation
on the part OF the saloons of a wide
open Sunday in defiance of the law as
expressed in a letter of the local liquor
dealers association.
It was unanimously voted to imme-
diately take the necessary steps look
ing towards a local federation of
churches, to be contaminated In the
near future. Every church in the city
is invited to join this movement,
through the christian citizenship of Its
members, who believe in and are de-
termined to stand for law, order and
common decency in Perth Amboy.
It was decided to call another meet
ing shortly to perfect the organization
of the federation of churches and the
men who were present are urged to in
terest others in this movement which
will mean SO much for this city and
tend greatly to it's moral uplift.
