NEW BRUNSWICK, March I'll
The Board of Freeholders yesterday
decided to meet next Thursday at
noon at the Raritan arsenal to make
a tour of inspection in order to ascer-
tain how well the arsenal is guarded
at the present time.
On the occasion of the first visit of
the board to the arsenal, several weeks
ago, but one guard was seen keeping
vigil over eighty-on magazines. Free
holder Clarence M. Haight moved that
the second inspection be made and
the board unanimously concurred.
Director William S. Dey, of the
board, said that Congressman Thomas

had written to Senator Joseph s. FIRE.

SCHOOL No, 8 CONDITIONS
To Be REMED|ED TO-DAY AS
WORK WILDE COMPLETED
Contractors to Have Work in
Laurence Finished by Tonight
is Announcement

Finally after numerous misunder-
standings, the alleged unsanitary con-
dftions existing at No. 8 school due,
1t was thought, to defective construc-
ton of the sewer system on Lawrence
street will be entirely remedied to-
day, according to advices received by
the Board of Education from Rohr
and Poulsen, general contractors of
this city, who were awarded the con-
tract for connecting the school drain
age system with the sewer.
The sewer question has caused
more than a little trouble ever since
It was ascertained that the conditions
at the school warranted a change in
the drainage system. This fact was
discovered about one year ago and the
school board was notified. They made
investigations and discovered from
soundings that the school could not
be connected with the sewer. The aid
1icited and it was thought that the
mattes would be fixed almost at
once.
Health Board Action.
The Health Board was also con-
suited IN the matter and IL was learned
at last that the school board might
make proper connections with the
sewer so that the drainage might be
disposed of in a suitable manner. The
matter then Jagged for short time
on account of misunderstanding, and
then the Western Improvement Asso-
citation notified the various boards
that the condition at the school had
not yet been ameliorated. More inves-
legations were conducted and IL was
learned that the sewer was construct
ed In a manner which would permit
its connection with the school and
thus the septic tank system, then in
operation, might be entirely abol-
ished.
The board of education started work
on the project, but discovered that in
stead of connecting on a direct line
from the school to the sewer, mat
ter of about sixty feet, it would be
necessary to make a diagonal connec-
tion, going across Spruce street and
then into the Lawrence street sys-
tenn. this being about 234 feet. 1t
was found that this would have to be
done SO as to secure a greater fall
1t was decided upon after the board
had received a letter from Larson
& Fox, stating that the sewer on Law
renee street at the center line OF
Spruce street, was seven inches lower
than the school sewer at the rear of
the building.
Work was commenced on this new
connection several days ago and II
is understood that the job will be
completed today. The entire project
will cost 1854.
The septic tanks VIII still be con-
nected with the school on an indirect
way, so that all contingencies are suit
ably provided for.

ITALIAN DELEGATION MAKES !.
DEMANDS FOR F|UME WHEN
PEACE TREATY IS ADOPTED
Amendments Are Suggested
Germany is Anxious as to
Her Colonies

PARIS, March 21:-The Italian
delegation to the peace conference
has unanimously decided it withdraw
from the conference unless Fiume is
assigned to Italy contemporaneousN
with the conclusion of peace.
The decision was reached at
meeting today of the full delegation
presided over by Premier Orlando.
1t was Immediately communicated to
the powers.
Col. T.. NJ. House, of the American
mission, promised Premier Orlando 10
present within a few days the project
concerning the Italian Jugo-Slovak
frontier which he hopes will satisfac-
torily settle the dispute.
The decision of the Italian delega-
ton apparently brings 10 a head the
bitter controversy between Italy and
the new Jugo-Slav states over the
disposition of land along the Adriatic,
formerly belonging to the Austro-
Hungarian empire, which both ma :
tionalities claim.
| Italy's attitude was officially stated
by Premier Orlando in addressing me
Italian Chamber of Deputies on
March I, when he declared that while
Italy remains faithful to the spirit
of cancellation which inspired the
treaty upon which Italy entered the
war;" that did not mean that she
could remain insensble TO the ap-
peals reaching her from the Italian
town on the Gulf of Qjarnero
(Fiume)," which was exposed to the
loss of both its nationality and inde-
pendence." 1--WE do not think" add
ed the premier, that this is possible
at the very moment when 1t is wished
that the world may be redeemed from
a memory of violence done to the
rights of peoples"
Fiume, before the war, was the
chief seaport of the Hungarian king
dom.
Amendment Suggested
Among the amendments to the COW
enant of the League of Nations sug-
gested at the meeting of neutrals to-
day were several which urged an IN
crease in the number of secondary
countries admitted to the executive
control of the league; reduction OF
armament and the control OF muni-
ton manufacturers.
Rhine Line of Defense
'@rhe Rhine is our only good line
OF defense. | do not demand annex
alton, but If we do not secure that
military frontier we will have fought
in vain" is statement made Dy
Marshal FOch quoted in an interview
printed in the Matin today.

Appointment of Man to In

Washington, Oct. 20.-Announce-

Schenectady, N. Y. as a member of
the public group of the national in
dustrial conference was cited by

asserted, however. would continue
to do what he can to dissuade the

Business as Usual
All Britishers Ask
In Regard to Trade

Atlantic City, N. J., Oct. 20.-Brit-
ish financial delegates to the inter
national trade conference here told
their American conferees that they
sought no special credit arrange
ments or government intervention,
but simply asked that business
transactions go on as before. This
announcement came as surprise to
| the general body of delegates, espe-
cially as subcommittee of many for
eign missions asked for American
| financial assistance and set forth
that extension of credits was vitality
necessary in order that they might
successfully meet the reconstruction
problems of their respective coun-
tries.
A. C. Bedford OF New York, chair
man of the executive committee of
the conference, told the delegates,
assembled in an informal general
session, that American business men

plain that they must be frank in ex-
planning political and economic con-
ditions in their own countries. The
success and permanency of business,
he said, is dependent upon the sta
biiity of government and American
business men wanted to know
whether the dangers of bolshevism
or socialism have passed and
whether any menace to the social
order existed.
The British point of view was sci
forth at meeting of American and
English credit and finance men by
Sir James Hope Simpson.
THE vast majority Of Britishers
never enter into contract unless they
can see their way clear to pay he
said. "We have not come to ask help
of any organization. We expect only
that no obstruction be placed in the
