PAtiSADE BOY AT PRINCETON
WRITES FOR BIG DAILiES.

Randolph Brown of Palisade has
been elected president of the Princeton
Press Club since his return to the Uni
versity following his war service in
the U. S. Navy. Young Brown through
this fine compliment has the selection
of daily newspapers for which he
sends Princeton news, such as sports,
college news in general and other mat
tiers relating to the university. Ran
dolph was always a ready writer, and
is making the fur hy in the way Of
Princeton news. He will greatly aid
his own expenses in the work, and
should make $1,000 or more for the
year. That is some enterprise, and the
young man is to be congratulated. His
papers are the New York Times, Bos-
ton Transcript, Philadelphia Ledger
and Philadelphia Bulletin.

The agitation over the DR.. Baer
house in Dearborn road. Palisade, APP
pears to have reached the acute stage.
Last week Arthur w. Tams, chairman
of the Executive Committee, Paitsade
Protective Association, published in
the Hackensack Record, an interview
and statement printed elsewhere, in
which he says he has issued an in
junction against DR.. Baer for con-
structing a two-family house on a
single plot against the restrictions
named in the deed. DR.. Baer had
previously told THE Palisadian' that
the house was not for two-famil pur-
poses, insisting that it was for one
family only, though he did say that
he looked for his parents to come
from Europe to live with him and his
wife
Then came Mr.. Richards, the
builder, on the scene and telling the
Palisadian that the plumbing and gen
eral layout of the Dr.. Baer house was
for two families, said in addition that
he had been offered the contract for
building the house, but seeing it was
for two families, declined to touch It.
1t was here that Arthur w. Tams,
taking his cue from the Investigations
made by the Palisadian, steps in with
his injunction, after the house is all
built and nearly completed.
And now for the nenouement. Last
Monday, Columbus Day, George Adie,
of the contracting firm of Adie &
Broberg, Woodcliff, told The Palisad-
ian that there was no word ever said
to him about making a two-family
house, that he undertook the con.
tract as single house, that the plans
call. fo$ nne-family house, that there
are NOT two front stairways to the
second floor as published in The
Palisadian, that there are NOT two
kitchens, not two dining rooms, and
that there is NO partition dividing
the large living room that runs across
the SO feet front of the building.

B. & |. TO THE RESCUE
Shortage of Houses Brings Out to
Aid Present Pressure.

Hon. Frank H. Smith New Jersey
Commissioner of Banking and Insur-
ance, has addressed a communication
to all Building and Loan Associations
in the States, in which he refers to
the serious shortage of houses in
ton that the problem of new build
ing can best be met through the me-
dunn of such associations.
He calls attention to the fact that
all building and loan associations in
New Jersey are under the supervision
of the State Department of Banking
and Insurance; that defalcations and
other Irregularities in these organi-
cations are comparatively few: and
that not one shareholder in the asso-
Citations of New Jersey has in fifteen
years lost a dollar of dues paid in
knows of no other method of saving
and home building which has SO
many advantages.
The full text of his letter appears
in an advertisement of the INTERIOR
ough Building and Loan Association
of the "Palisadian"
The marlborough Association has
been in existence eight and half
years, and now has total assets of
SITS, 900. 1t has not only financed
the building of many homes in this
hut no ok 1aI
pie Of the community excellent facil-
tiles for investing their savings at a
high rate Of interest with abundant
security.
This is because the association is
purely mutual affair, all the profits
funds of the association being invest
ted in cash, liberty bonds and loans
to members secured by shares in the
association or by mortgages on
homes. The local association has
never lost dollar on loan. In
terest is apportioned semi-annually.
Members may withdraw at any time
on notice.
The directors of the PETERBOROUGH
Association are l.. P. Struck, A. w.
Tams, S. E. Darby. A. F. Beckmann,

colt and F. j. Sheperd ?
The officers and directors serve
without pay, except very nominal
compensation to the Secretary and
Treasurer for their work in handling
the details OF the business.
In order to meet the housing prob
lem, the Associations of the state are
seeking to enroll 1000, 900 new MEM
bers, Bergen County's quota being
100 goo. In view of the thrifty and
character of the popula-
ton Of the County 1t is believed that
Its quota can be obtained without any
difficulty; and that it can be relied up
on to do its part in meeting the hous-
ing situation through the medium of
building and loan associations. at the
same time earning substantial profits
for their shareholders.

HOUSE IS VERY ATTRACTIVE

Furthermore, Mr.. Adie says he knows
nothing of Mr.. Richards ever having
been offered the house to build as
double house, and doesn't believe it
was.
"As clearly as l know how to see.
and as honestly as l strive to be
truthful, this is not two-family
house. The partition suggested in
the unfinished front living room, is
now as you see an open arch for
identifying the living room and break
ing the long stretch of space. The So
called kitchen back of the south side
dining room is study, and not a
kitchen. The only kitchen provided Is
on the northeast corner. The other
room that looks like dining room is
the library. There is only one stair
way to the basement, only one stair
way leading up stairs. There are only
four bed rooms on the second floor.
none on the attic floor.
Are there two bath rooms on the
second f1oor?" he was asked.
yes, but how many houses today
are without two bath rooms?"
Would you make affidavit that this
is a single houSe?"
Yes, what else could | do in the
circumstances? Look for yourself,
now. Does it look to you like it was
for two families?"
"As you tell of it, no. was an
swered. But could it not be
readily turned into two family
house?"
Eyes, and so could any average
house of this size"
What is the cost of this house"
Around $4,000. People who are
annoyed at this house should wait
until it is finished. l am astonished
at the action of the Improvement
Association. 1t is as ridiculous as
it is unfair and unwarranted. They
must want to spend money. This
house is going to be credit to Pali-
SADIE in every particular"

Jersey City, Oct. 16.-With virtually
every city and town intent on secur-
ing the honor of being the most gem

DELEGATES WARN
WARNING NATIONS
POSSESSION or TERRITORY BY
FORCE WILL SERIOUSLY DETER
THEIR CLAIMS.
Commission to Garry Forward Early
Generalization and Establish Pro
portionatc Allied and Associated
Forces on Western Front.

Parls.--A series Of international
events Of the highest order took form
on Friday at meetings OF the council Of
the great powers and the military
commanders on all the fronts. These
may be summed up as follows:
F'irst-The issuance Of solemn
warning TO the world that the posses
sion Of territory gained By force will
seriously prejudice the claims of those
who use su.h means and set up soyer-
eighty by coercion. This declaration
was framed by President Wilson.
Second-The appointment Of COM
mission Of the highest military author
ity, including the British minister OF
war, Marshal Foch, General Diaz and
General Tasker II. Bliss, to carry for
ward early rehabilitation and estab-
lish propOrtionate allied and associated
forces on the western front.
Third - Discussion of territorial
claims on conquered German colonies,
with hearings Of interest to Australia,
New Zealand and South Africa on
German East Africa and the German
island groups Of the Pacific.
Fourth-Approva Of the council of
the striking Of medal for all troops
taking part in the war.
h-Authorizatio to M. Pichon,
the French foreign secretary, to draft
Instructions for the joint mission which
Is about TO proceed to Poland.
The foregoing embrace some of the
most difficult questions before the
peace conference and, with the pro-
jected actions, indemnties, punish
ments, labor and international high
ways, It goes far toward clearing the
slate of most of the large subjects be-
fore the conference.
While the solemn warning with re-
gard TO the gaining of territory by
force specified no countries, it covered
broadly the warning elements of the
Ukrainians and those around Wilma
and Lemberg, where commandments
have occurred, and also in the eau
casus, where the new Georgian re-
public Is fighting the new Armenian
republic; also Serbian inroads on
Montenegro, as well as territorial oc-
cupation along the eastern Adriatic, in
Thrace and in Poland.
