Define Extra Duties Clearly.

To the Editor Of The Star:
The action of the school board IN
extending the hours of the teachers
instructing short-time classes is no
doubt proper. but the duties during
these hours should be defined much
more sharply than they are given in
the morning papers.
Are these teachers to fill u their
time by merely attending to the iett.
over Jobs which the regular teachers
are too busy or too careless to COM
plete, or are they to be assigned reg.
ular duties which will not be increas-
ed or diminished at the whim of the
teacher in charge of the room?
Unless this matter is definitely decid-
ed there will be much hearburning
and ill feeling among the teachers. I
have had some experience in this
kind of work, and 1t may be made
very disagreeable for all concerned
unless the duties Of each teacher dur
ing the hours that they work together
are very clearly set forth.

ADVOCATE THE REMOVAL
OF CABLE RESTRICTIONS
Suggestion That Japan Grant Equal
Rights Over Former German
Lines in Mid-Pacitic.

In the preliminary discussi ons be-
fore the international communica-
tions conference. now sitting in this
city, the United States delegates have
advocated recognition on the part
of Japan of the equal rights of all
governments to Unrestricted use of
the former German cables passing
through the Island of Yap. in the mid
Pacific. Japan now controls those
lines, together with the former Ger
man cables radiating from Yap to
the Dutch East Indies, Guam and
Shanghai. That government is known
to have taken the position that the
Island of Yap accrued to her by rea-
son of The mandate awarded Japan
by the peace conference over all Ger
man islands in the Pacific north of
the equator.
The position of the United States in
the matter is based on the mandatory
principles that no country exercising a
mandate shall be privileged to close the
door of the mandate country to other
nationals
The United States in the case Of the
mandates over certain portions Of the
Turkish empire has already objected to
any action by countries exercising the
mandatory privilege which would seek
the same economic rights in mandate
countries as exercised by the mandatory
power
On account of the important CONNER
cial advantages attaching to the use OF
the Pacific cables, it Is known that the
American commissioners seek applica-
ton of this principle to Zap in the
event Japans mandatory right over it
be recognized by the communications
conference.
1t is said the United States probably
will renounce all claims to German
transatlantic cables now held by France
and Great Britain The only cable, pos
session Of which is thought likely to be
made a subject of discussion by the
American commissioners, is believed to
be that extending from the west coast
OF Africa to the east coast of South
America or from Monrovia to Pernam-
hum

these imputations upon the sincerity

quarters to distort his plain language.
Declarations Not Ambiguous.
"There is nothing ambiguous or un-
certain in our candidates declara-
tiens. He has eourageously taken his
stand. He has put the league behind
him. He wants neither interpreta-
tions nor reservations, but outright
rejection.
THE men and newspapers who pre-
tend to be friends of Senator Hard

this country into the league of ma
tions do him distinct disserviee and

of course, solely from the public ut
terances of our candidate. and these
utterances make plain beyond cavil
that when Senator Harding is Presi-

ROOSEVELT DECLARES
PACT ISSUE CLEAR-CUT
No Excuse Why League Proponents
Should Not Vote for Gov.
Cox, He Says.

PORT JERyIS, n. Y, October "a
No excuse remains why proponents of
the league OF nations should not vote
for Gov. Cox. Franklin D. Roosevelt,
democratic vice presidential nominee,
declared In an address here today.
Mr.. Rockwell based his assertion on
Gov. Cox's communications to Elihu
Root, announcing he would be will
ing to accept reasonable reserva.
tions," which the vice presidential
candidate said removed the last argu.
ment against the league.
Mr.. Roosevelt again charged that
republican managers had carried on a
campaign of deceit and misrepre-
sentation" against the league "in
which such eminent men as Elihu
Root had taken part"
The issue is now more clearly
defined than at any time during the
campaign" he said. "It is either the
league of nations with reservations
acceptable to the new Senate and the
American people or it is a fiat re-
lection Of the league. In the final
analysis there can be no other con-
struction placed upon the election,

forward statement of his position

Palisade Avenue To
Be Partly Finished

Unless very hard freeze comes
within the next two weeks, Palisade
avenue, Palisade, will have been put
into passable condition for the winter.
The first layer of large stone, or trap
rock, has been laid, and part of the
second dressing rolled. Along the
block fronting on Palisade Supply
Market, the smaller stone, next to the
final layer of top dressing, is now be-
ing laid and rolled, making it very
much more satisfactory for the heavy
weather than before. One may now
get an idea of how really fine road
way this through avenue is going to
be. The great cost should, of course,
give the borough the very best that
money can buy, and that is what Con-
tractor McGarry says he is going to
give us. At any rate, Palisade ave-
nue. in Palisade, will be presentable
next spring with the top dressing, and
the line finished through to Fort Lee
Traffic will then have something sur
passingly fine upon which to get away
on towards the more northern sections
Of the county.
