 BILL IN JERSEY

Trenton, N. J., March 2S. - The House of the Assembly has passed the Pierson Teachers Pension bill, pro- viding for the reorganization of the Teachers Pension and Retirement
 fund. By the terms of this bill teach
 CTS will not be retired until they

 ment providing for the retirement of

A fight developed in the House over the Stanton bill, which would com pei insurance companies in the State insuring 'jitney'' buses to file 8 bond of $5O,000 with the State Department of Banking and insurance.
 The bill was attacked by Assembly, man Cochran, of Atlantic County,
 who said 1t was backed by the Public Service Corporation. His views were also held by Assemblyman Roberts, of Passatc, who said the bill was aimed
 at the only insurance company in the State tnsuring ''jitneys." The meas
 ure was defeated by a. vote of 28
 to 24.

 ported to the senate on the salary

GERMANS URGED
 TO MORE CONTROL

CobIenz March 28-CBy the Asso- ciated Press) burgomaster of CobIenz has published 8, notice in the newspapers demanding that the Ger mans in the area of occupation use more self control in their conduct to- ward the American soldiers, especial ly in any acts which might be taken by the Americans as an insult to their uniforms or otherwise. The burgo- master took this action because of an increase recently in the number of fights between the Americans and ci- vilians. an American soldier being stabbed to death in one instance.
 The burgomaster appeals to the pride of the Germans and expresses the hope that it will be unnecessary for the German local authorities to take strict measures.
 Reports reaching American head quarters from various parts of the oc- cupied zone indicate an increase in the number of rows and fights be-

 The Ulrainians again, are super for to us now in equipment, but they are organized by former officers of the Austrian army. They may be capable of certain defensive fighting behind trenches, but they are incapa- bIe of offensive fighting. The Ukrain- ian army is superior to us in equip ment today because it has the arms and ammunition which the Austrians and Germans left in great profusion.
 The I'oLsileviki, our third enemy, have always conquered by destroying the morale of the troops opposed to them, They have negotiated with the soldiers of the enemy and when the 60v of battle came the generals op- posing the BoIshevtk forces have found themselves deprived of the sup port of their men.

and reserve officers. When the enlist ed personnel was enlarged to a war basis moro officers for the regular service were needed and the law per mitted temporary appointments of such officers. Over 5000 of these ''temporaries' were promoted from the regular service.
 It was admitted that if temporary civil officers were permitted to resign now there would be no interference with the status of regular officers holding higher rank through tempor- ary appointment. It was explained that the reappointnent of officers is made officially only twice a year, on July 1 and Jan. 1. and that there would be no reappointment before July 1 next, by which time the navy would have obtained something over 400 new officers by graduation from the Naval Academy at Annapolis, whose presence in the service would compensate for the loss; of such of the temporary officers as are permitted in the future to return to civil life.
