MAYOR ASKS SUPPORT
FOR BETTER POLICE
Charges Are Preferred Against
PatroIman koscieIniak for
Sleeping in Auto When He
Should Have Been on Duty.

eff the police committee will give
me the support necessary to clean
UP these weak spots in our police
force I will see that any member of
the force violating the regulations is
permanently suspended. There will
dope in 1t either"
That was the comment Mayor
Frank Dorsey made this morning on
the report that had been submitted to
him by Police Chief Patrick j. Burke
on the case of Stanley Koscielniak,
of 657 Charles street.
Roundsman William Calvin report
ed to the chief that he found Patrol
man Koscielniak asleep in an auto in
the Union Garage at 1880 o'clock
Saturday night while he was sup
posed to be on duty. The report was
referred to the mayor.
The people of this city are paying
for protection from these men and
not for furnishing them with the op-
portunity to take evening siestas.'
Mayor Dorsey said. I'VE have at
present over 100 applications for posi-
tions on the police force and it is GER
tain that we can pick enough men
from this list who are qualified to re-
place the ones who go to sleep on the
joF There are only three or four men
sloft of the entire force of sixty or
ftsaAe who are giving the department
thAs -fouble," Mayor Dorsey said.
This is the first instance which hai
been brought to the Mayors atten-
ton since the Decoration Day speech
warning against laxity on the force
the mayor declared this morning. Al
that time he issued drastic warning
and stated that there would be nc
more exceptions. The case in point
will be pressed to the limit he said.
1t is understood that Patrolman
,Koscielniak will be tried on the
charges preferred against him by
Roundsman Calvin at the next meet
ing of the Board of Aldermen July 4.
Mayor Dorsey said today that he
would refer the matter to- the board
at that meeting. They will probably
pass it on to the police committee
which will try the officer.

y MORE APPLY
FOR CITIZENS
PAPERS IN COURT
IL In Group Who Apply for
Second Papers--12 for First
Papers ~

The rapidly growing group of loyal
Americans who are being trained
here by the Naturalization Service
Bureau, was increased Saturday by a
class of twenty-seven who took out
citizenship papers at New Brunswick.
There were twelve in the group who
applied for second papers and fifteen
who obtained first papers.
All of the men in the groups were
drawn from the classes that have
been conducted in the factories and
at the City Hall during the past sew
eral months where instruction has
been given free in beginners English,
reading and writing. citizenship and
social work. The majority of men in
both groups were of Polish or Hun
garian extraction.
The trip Saturday was an innova-
ton inasmuch as all of the men were
transported to the county seat and
back free of charge in Red Cross
ambulances and private cars that
! were loaned for the occasion, thus
making the journey quicker and
more comfortable. Frank w. Hen
son, of the Naturalization Service
Bureau, was in charge.
The papers were obtained through
the courtesy of George Litterst and
George lombard, naturalization ex-
perts, in the Office of County Clerk
Bernard M. Cannon. Heretofore 1t
has been necessary for the men to go
over separately or in small groups on
weekday mornings, thus often losing
\ half days pay at their places OF
| employment. BY the clerks action
in opening the office on Saturday af-
ternoon all were able to take advan-
tage of the Saturday half holiday.
The men met at the Y. NJ. G. A. at 1
o'clock in the afternoon and went
over to New Brunswick Immediately.
Those who obtained first papers
must wait at least two years and not
more than seven before filing their
applications for citizenship. The men
who made application for their sec
ond papers will wait ninety days be-
fore going before Judge DAILY for
their oath. and in the meantime will
be examined by a government exam
iner.
Those who went are:

Allies Reject Any Suggestion
for Alteration Of Treaty

PARIS, June 22-The German note
to which the Council of Four replied
today by definitely rejecting any sug-
gestions for an alteration TO the
treaty declared the Germans regard
the terms of peace as inpracticable
and that their signatures are given
under duress. Protests We're maze
against the clauses concerning yep
aration, the forfeiture of colonies and
others.
Asserting that the terms cannot be
carried out and that the German gov
ernment cannot be held responsible
for what may occur the note con-
cluded by saying that the Germans
will sign with reservations relative
to the turning over of those alleged to
be guilty of the crime and also the
admission of the guilt of Germany In
causing the war.
In replying, the Council OF -Four
said: "Allied and Associate Powers
have considered the note of the Ger
man delegation of even date ana
in view of the shortness of the time
remaining feel IL their duty to reply at
once. OF that time in which the Ger
man government must make final de-
cision as to the signature OF the
treaty. less than twenty-four hours
remains. The Allied and Associated
governments have given fullest con-
sideration to all representations hlth-
erto made by the German government
with regard to the treaty and have re-
piled with complete ffankness. They
have made such concessions as they
thought was just to make. The pres
ent note of the German delegation
presents no new argument for consid-
Grafton not already examined"
The full text of the German note
shows that while but two reservations
were made the Germans asked for in
the insertion in the treaty for
clause providing that within two
wears that document should be sub
mitted to the council of the league Of
nations for consideration of that por-
ton of the treaty which, as the Ger
mans phrased it, impair the right to
elf-determnation of the German
people" Similar reconsideration OF
that portion whereby the free econ
omic development of Germany on
footing of equal right is denied" also
is provided for in this suggested
"Tbe government of the German
repubIic gives the declaration of its
consent as required by the note OF
June -16, 1919, in the following form:
ssThe government of the German
repuhfic Is ready TO sign the treaty OF
peace without. however. recognizing
thereby that the German people was
the author of the war and without
undertaking any responsibility Tor
delivering persons in accordance with
Articles 227 to 230 of the Treaty of
Peace"

swer regarding the peace treaty was
received by the peace conference this
afternoon. The contents had not been

WEIMAR. June 22:-It is officially
announced that Germany will sign
the treaty of peace.
In announcing the decision of the
German government to sign the
peace terms before the national as
sembly today Premier Rauer said:
"At this hour of life and death,
under the menace of invasion. for the
last time i raise In free Germany
protest against IBIS treaty of violence
and destruction. l protest against
this mockery of self-detefrl7is. "a
this enslavement of the German peo-
pie. this new menace to the peace %
the world under the mask of a treay
OF peace. No signing can enfeeble
this protest which we raise and swear
to. This treaty does not lose it's an
Initiating character by alterations in
detail. Protesting against this is USE
less and is at the risk of new crisis
within forty-eight hours.
"Our power of resistance is broken
and there is no means of averting
this treaty. The treaty itself, how
ever does give us a handle which we
cannot allow to be wrested from Us,
namely the Entente's solemn pledge
of June 16 that the treaty can be
revised from time to time and adopt
ed to new conditions This is one OF
the few words in the treaty breathing
the real spirit of peace"
Premier Bauer concluded by ex-
pressing his faith in the German peo-
pie and their final realization of a
better future. He said they were
faced with years of labor for the for
eign account. but owed to their de-
scendents to hold the country togeth-
er.
They must safeguard our new
liberty" he said There must be a
will to work and a discipline in all
ranks of society. There are no mir
aculous charms to cure q nation, even
a worlds revolution cannot rid us of
the malady from which we are wear
ing way. Only by a revolution of our
moral constituencies can we succeed
in laboring ourselves out of our night
into better future"

Example OF FaithIessness.

BIZ Associated Press.
LONDON, June 23.-The sinking of
the German fleet at Scapa Flow is
reg.=@.ed by most editorial writers
here as a fresh example of German
faithlesshess. There are many in
dignant enunciations of the acts of the
Germans. "A gross outrage" "a de-
liberate violation of the armistice, .
and "treachery," are some of the ex-
pressions used by the morning pa
pers.
1t is contended that the carrying out
Of dmiral Won Reuters order auto
matically annuls the arInistice and
renders the admiral liable to the death
penalty and all concerned to long
terms Of penal servitude. Some pa
pers demand that the Allies exact full
est penalties. including immediate
payment of 10 million pounds, gold.

Although reports have stated that
six Germans were killed and ten
wounded when the boats of the Ger
man feet Scapa Flow were fired
upon subsequent TO the scuttling of the
German fleet. the Daily Mail says
others may have been drowned and
that some may possibly have reached
the Orknay Island and have not as
yet been reported.
The main force of the British fleet
was absent exercising at sea when the
German ships were sunk, only some
drifters. small warships and patrolllng
aircraft being on guard over the IN
termed enemy squadron.
Admiral Won Reuter-, commander
of the surrendered German feet. says
he issued an order to sink the ships,
the Daily Mail adds. and did so be
cause at the beginning of the war the
German emperor directed that no
German warship should fall into the
enemy's hands. He says he believes
from newspaper reports that the arm
istice had been ended. Admiral Won
Euter visited Germany some weeks
ago, IL being understood at the tlme
that the reason for lis trip was that
he was i'll, but he soon returned and IL

Refuse German Request.

DV 1SoOCfhttu lTtSo-
PARIS, June 23.-Germany today
requested an additional forty-eight
hours within which to make known.
its decision relative to the signing Of
the peace treaty without the reser-
Vations refused by the Entente The
Council of Three edtly refused the
request.
The request for additional time
pleaded that the change in the gov-
ernment and the generally disturbed
conditions made it difficult to COM
plete the arrangement.
There appeared today to be some
indications that in case Germany de-
cided to accept the peace treaty un-
conditionally the action would be ac-
companied by the passage in the na-
tional assembly by resolution or
declaration that the signing was I'M
der compulsion and that German peo-
pie did not feel morally responsible
for the war and were willing to sub
init the question of responsibility to a
tribunal consisting OF two members
representing the allied and asso ociated
powers, two neutrals, and one Ger
man.
The Weimar dispatch carrying the
official announcement that Germany
would sign the peace treaty was flef
in Weimar at 4:0S o'clock in the af-
ternoon Apparently it referred to
the decision of the German governs
ment to sign the treaty with the reser-
walton of which she gave notice 10 the
allied powers and which the latter re-
jected. Paris advices this morning
show that the Germans made an ap-
peal for an additional forty eight
hours to make known their decision
regadding the signing of the treaty
without any reservation. 1t thus
would appear that Germany has not
yet officially notified the peace confer
ence that she would sign the treaty
and accept all of it's terms.

MAINTAIN ROAD AFTER BUILT
improper Methods Have Placed Eco.
nonicaI Types In Disrepute,
Says Colorado Expert.

Prof. e. B. House OF the Colorado
Agricultural College is a firm believer
In the Importance of maintaining a
road after II is built. He supplies the
following, taken from The Engineer
ing News s-Record. and says of 1t at is
so true and hits the nail SO squarely
that ! quote 1t direct:
"The tendency In road Improvement
Is to select types of roads which re-
quire very little annual maintenance.
The general feeling among laymen
seems to be that when road surface
requires some annual maintenance to
keep It In good shape, It is an eapen-
sive type and should be avoided. Yet,
II the interest on investment and the
repairs are taken into consideration,
the cheaper wearing surface may In
many cases prove TO be the more sat
isfactory and economical.
ut is not uncommon to see roads Of
a good type constructed and then,
after they begin to show signs Of wear,
to see them neglected entirely or some
method of repair or maintenance I'm
posed which has been found by long
practice to be defective. When we see
mud holes In earth ROADS filed with
riprap, crushed stone or cinders, II Is
not the engineers fault that an enor-
nous price is paid for the repair mate
rial; the road engineer knows that
proper drainage, and repairing with
earth from the side of the road. are
the economical methods Of mainte-
nance.
"Old gravel and macadam roads are
often repaired by filling ruts and de
pressions with inferior material that
is readily displaced by traffic or
ground to dust. Bituminous surfaces
are often patched, If patched at all,
with loose stone or gravel, and In some
