needs emphasis. World treaties hith-
erto have always been based on the
theory of balance of power. Strong
er races have been set up to dominate
the weaker, partly with view to
maintaining stability and to a greater
cupations and positions for the re-
dictionaries of the world.
"The balance of power is born OF
armies and navies, aristocracies,
autocracies, and reactionaries general
ly. who can find employment and
domination in these institutions, and
treaties founded on this basis have
established stability after each great
war for a shorter or longer time, but
never more than generation.
America came forward with a new
idea, and we insisted upon its injec-
tion into. this peace conference. We
claimed that it was possible to set
up such a piece of machinery with
such authority that the balance Of
power could be abandoned as a relic
of the middle ages. We compelled an
entire construction of this treaty and
every word and line In it to bend to
this idea.
"Outside of the League of Nations
the treaty itself has many deficiencies
It represents compromises between
many men and between many selfish
interests, and these very compromises
and deficiencies are multiplied by the
many new nations that have entered
upon its signature, and the very safety
of the treaty itself lies in a court Of
appeal for the remedy of wrongs in
the treaty.

the Legion of Honor-the highest awards any soldier of France can be given.
 Vedrines, who was born in 1881 at St. Denis, began life as telegraph boy, and from this humble position, as he styled it himself, rose to one of the most brilliant aviators the world has produced. His war work over Vedrines again gave rem 10 ms competitive instinct in flying. He all ways wanted to lead in aviation
 In January he succeeded in effect ing a landing on the terrace Of the Galleries Lafayette at Paris There was a thick fog when Vedrines started but he flew over the Grand Bouie- wards, and then shut off his engine. Flying at the height of a lew rect only above the balustrade surroundlng the terrace of the big emporium, Vedrines landed safely on the terrace although his machine, owing to the speed at which he was flying, was damaged.
 A Recent Achievement.
 He thus won the prize of 35,000 francs offered to the first airman to land on a roof. The terrace was only fl metres (56 feet) in width, and Vedrines machine had 9 span of F metres.
 He immediately announced hlS ln- tention of attempting the flight from Paris to Rome, which has eneded so disastrously, after which he was to prepare for a flight round the world.
 Vedrines had many hairbreadth es- capes. In June, 1911, in the Paris Turin contest, his machine turned turtle, but he escaped unhurt. Then in the following August he fell into the sea at Trouville, escaping with few scratches. On April 29, 1912, Vedrines met with a very serious ac- cident while attempting a flight from Douai to Madrid between Pierrefette and St Denis something went wrong with his motor, and he was forced to descend from a height of 500 feet. The machine was caught by a gust of wind, and fell with a crash on the railway line. A train which happened to be passing was pulled up in time. and the injured airman was at once removed to Paris, where he under went the operation for trepanning, subsequently, making a remarkable re- covery.
 At the time of his death Vedrines was engaged in perfecting plans about which nothing absolutely had been published. He was working in particu- lar on a winged machine with neither engine nor propellor. It was always one of his pet theories and schemes and had he lived he would, I know from what he has told me casually on many an occasion, have revolution ized flying His whole mind and all his energies were devoted to his work | By his death France loses a gallant son ~and ~soldier-the world one of he master minds in ayiation-and

A motion made by Alderman-at-
Large Ira r. Grouse asking for a spe-
cial assembly and riot call over the
fire alarm system for the state militia
reserve, was tabled at last nights
meeting of the aldermen, following
the receipt of a letter from the Build
ing Trades Council of the city In
which objection was raised to the pro-
posed scheme.
The motion had been made at the
request of the executive committee OF
the council of defense, of which the
state militia reserve is a part. 1t
was made that the work of assembling
the reserve might be expedited in
time of trouble and that assembly for
drill or practice might be simplified.
Objection was Immediately made TO
the motion, when Alderman Anderson
voted that 1t be laid on the table.
Mr. Waters submitted an amend
ment to have the matter laid aside un-
til such time as Major Frank l.. An
tisell of the battalion could be pres
ent and explain the necessity for the
calls. The original motion was forced
to an issue however, and Mr.. Waters
was informed that his amendment
was not applicable.
The votes in favor of laying the
matter on the table. which is equiva-
lent to killing it, were cast by Alder
men Wilson, Clark and Reidy. Alder
men Patten and Waters passed on the

COMMITTEE
Action on Senator Browns Bill
Will Be Taken in Lower
House Today


TRENTON, March 4:-When SEN
ator Thomas Browns bill. No. AZ,
passed last week by the state senate,
came before the House Of Assembly
last night for first reading, it was re-
ferred to the highways committee, of
which Assemblyman Harry T. Haga-
man, of Ocean county, is chairman.
1t is possible that the bill will be
brought out of committee in time for
second reading at today's session OF
the house. If this is the case an ef-
fort will be made to have it reported
for third reading and hearing at the
session next Monday night.
Assemblyman Fred T. Devoe. Of
Middlesex, Senator Browns home
son to have the bill referred to the
highways committee, which will re-
mort the measure favorably, 1t is be-
n1eved. Mr.. ~Devoe hopes to have the
measure out of committee today and
then hopes to have it slated for spe-
cial order of business next Monday
night.

as the "Midsesex-Bsfa g, siiif vent

fifty Middlesex representatives, MI.
Brown presented his bill, which, af-
ter receiving the approval OF Cover
nor Edge, passed the senate without
a dissenting vote.
Beat Edwards Bill.
BY a vote of 13 to 6 the Republi
can senators this afternoon beat the
Edwards bill to change the state
highway commission from board OF
eight members to one. The vote was
along strict party lines, the Republi-
cans regarding the measure of an at
tempt to make political capital for the
Hudson senator who is candidate
for governor. Republican Senators
Case, Somerset; Sturgess, Gloucester,
and Mackay, Bergan, attacked the
bill. Sturgess declared that the bill
would legislate out of Office William
G. Thompson, who is the state engi-
neer. Sturgess paid tribute to the
ability of Thompson and his work in
this state on the highways. He also
referred to the fact that General
Goethals had been helping in New
Jersey. Edwards declared his admi-
ration for Thompson, but added that
the present state board of eight is in
efficient. He read from the minutes
of meetings of that body to show on
many occasions since May 10, 1917,
number of meetings. One commits
sioner would save the state thous-
ands of dollars by being on the job
constantly.
Defeat Monmouth Road bill
The Republicans in the senate last
night practically defeated the bill by
Senator Ackerson providing for an
addition to the state highway system
to be known as Route 16. A test roll
call showed the bill doomed to defeat
and the introducer, who is the Demo-
cratic leader, laid il over for future
consideration. The bill would cause
an amendment to the governors
highway program. The measure
would have provided a route from
near Keyport to Allenhurst, to be
known as Ocean Highway.
Republican Leader Case opposed
the measure on the ground that it
would be giving Monmouth too much
consideration as compared with that
given other counties. Aekerson held
the shore resort counties hould have
good roads.

ARCHANGEL, March 3:-The
Bolsheviki continue TO push their Of
fensive against the American and
Allied troops on the front 1G0 miles
south of Archangel. The allies are
reported to have evacuated the vii
lage of VevsieVskawa.
The Allies, however, still hold their
positions at Vistavka and the villages
OF Maximovskaya and Kitsa.
Last night the Bolshevlk artillery
bombarded Vistavka heavily. The
Americans evacuated Vevsievskawa
yesterday after the blockhouses had
been set on fire.
The Bolshevik continued TO shell
the Allied positions at Tulgas on the
Dvina. The Allied guns are replying
vigorously. The enemy apparently is
attempting TO drive the Americans
from Ust Vaga. The columns on both
the Vaga and the Dvina are outnum-
bered at least three to one and the
Bolsheviki have a great superiority in
guns.

important Legislation Tied Up
by Tactics of G. O. P. as Con-
greSS Ends Session

WASHINGTON, March 4-Con-
gress adjourned at noon today in the
midst of a Republican filibuster in the
senate that killed a long list of inn
portant measures.
Among the bills that failed was one
appropriating $75O.00O.000 for the
railroad administration without which
some administration leaders say the
railroads must be returned to their
owners before the middle of April.
There was no turning back of
clocks. Democratic leaders realized
gavels ending the long, great war
session and the sixty-fifth congress-
actually tapped at noon.
BY vote of A to 40 the senate
upon the motion of Senator Smoot OF
Utah, Republican, tabled an amend
ment presented by Senator Trammell,
of Florida, Democrat, making the
period of time sixty instead of thirty
days as provided by Senator Gore.
Just before adjournment President
Wilson in his capitol Office authorized
final notice to the Republicans that
their efforts to force an immediate
extra session had failed; that he was
unsh aiken in his .dstar;r - ssa.asa -as -
| cssIs-sSdgress until his work at the
peace congress was done.
The bill and the Gore aInendm ent
died with the adjournment of con-
gress at noon. Adjournment marks
the passing OF Democratic control IN
the capitol The congress that passed
at noon began in April, 1917, passed
the German war declaration and its
almost continuous sessions have been
marked by unprecedented legislation
and controversy. Big bills that failed
included both the army andN navy ap-
preparation measures. Only two inn
portant measures that ran the gaunt-
let of the last forty-eight hours OF
filibustering were the Victory Liberty
Loan bill and the billion dollar wheat
guarantee bill.
The most important business trans
acted by the House during its all nignf
session was adoption of the confer
ence report on the billion dollar gov
ernment 1919 guarantee wheat price
bill.
Resolution as to Ireland.
The House early today by a vote
of 216 to Al adopted the resolution
expressing the hope that the peace
conference would "favorably consider
the claims of Ireland TO the right OF
self determination" The resolution
now goes TO the Senate.
Representative Gallivan of Massa
chusettes Democrat asserted that II
the peace conference adjourn without
giving ireland self determination Ire
land would be the only "oppressed
country in Europe" and that England
would be only "oppressor of the olh
World"
In opposing the resolution Repre-
sentative Connally said the internal
affairs OF Great Britain were no con-
Germ TO the people of the United States.
President Wilson today signed the
wheat guarantee bill, carrying an ap-
preparation of one million dollars 10
maintain the guaranteed price or
s226 a bushel.

motion and Mr.. Grouse cast the soli-
tary negative.
The communication from the Build
ing Trades Council, signed by Joseph
L .Crowell, secretary of the execu-
tive committee, follows:
1--WE have been informed that
there is to be q resolution intro
duced by your honorable body to
have installed a special call for
the home defense connected with
the fire alarm system. We do not
think it advisable to install the
same, as we have not had any
riots or uprisings in Perth Amboy
up to the present time. Also we
consider that we have an efficient
police force which has always
handled what little trouble there
has been i'm Perth AmbOy to the
satisfaction OF all concerned.
We think it would be for the hest
to let the police handle the Sit
uation as they arise"
The motion would have made il
possible to call together the battalion
in time of disaster and trouble OF
riot, Just as 1t has been called out tt
do guard duty and preserve lives an6
property at the time of the Morgan
disaster and at the time of trouble

Defense counc;! Discuss
Armory Building in City
for a Fitting Me:::sso s5sissi !

The erection of an armory build
ing as a memorial in this city was
discussed at a meeting of the execu-
tive committee of the Perth Amboy
Council of Defense last night. The
committee in no way committed them
selves or took definite action toward
the armory, but they discussed the
matter freely.
Major Frank l.. Antisell. of the
Perth Amboy battalion. state mill
tia reserve, reported the ATTENDANCE
at drills as being splendid. He sail
that the average attendance at dril
is sixty two per cent. of the entire
personnel of the battalion, or about
172 men.
It was also reported that the total
expenditure for overcoats and equip
ment for the reserve was $4,372, all
but $572 of which has been raised.
This latter amount is assured and
has been promised, so that solicita-
ton for funds will cease.
Two hundred and fifty new Spring
field rifles, to be loaned by the state
to the battalion are TO reach here
shortly for the use of the reservists.
1t is probable tat the matter OF
the armory will be brought up later.
The men present seemed to think that
such a building would be an ideal
memorial and would furnish nne
place for recreation and exercise for
the returned warriors, as well as a
drill hall for such filitary organi-
cations as may exist here.
William II. Criswold, chairman of
the military committee of the coun-
ell suggedted that the city could con-
tinue with the proposed memorial
park, but that the proposition would
take several years to complete and
that while 1t was being laid out the
city might turn over $4,000 for the
erection Of a drill hall and recreation
centre for soldiers here.
