WASHINGTON. April IS. = The
peace treaty and the league OF ma
lions got into Senate debate today
for the first time In several weeks.
senator Lodge. of Massachusetts, tho
Republican leader. started the dis
cussion by reading press report
quoting former President Poincare,
OF France: Andre Tardicu, the
French economist and others as
saying allied diplomats proposed
pooling of nil heIligerents' war debts
and assumption by the United States
OF the financial burden o: restoring
Germany.
This presents very serious dan
ger TO the United States and the
American people" said Mr.. Lodge.
senator Hitchcock. OF Nebraska.
administration leader. DECLARED the
report was "prepostcrous," and added
that il was no more possible that
the United States would assume the
debts o. other countries than that

Confab for First Time in Weeks When Financial

Senator Lodge declared that n
similar program had been given "se-
rlous consideration" at the Paris
peace conference. but this was de-
MED by Senator Hitchcock. Mr.
Lodge said il was we'll known that
at Paris there had been proposals
TO have the United States loan all
the money required for rehabilitation

tion WAS TO como up again Mt the

sells. Mr.. Lodge added. revived the
danger TO the United States.
Senator Hitchcock asserted that
league members who did not par
ticipate in the war with Gcrina ny

replied that they could vote for
amendment OF the league to provide

TO PUSH CAUSEWAY WORK
New Contract Also to be Let from
Wilmington to Hare's Corner

Traffic over the Market street
causeway at Wilmington will likely be
impossible for some months yet. The
lead improvement work that has been
going on in that section has been
gretaly hampered this winter on ac-
count of the bad weather. When the
weather permits, however, work is
to be pushed on the improvement.
The State Highway Department
now plans though to let contract for
the section of road adjoining the pres
ent contract at Hare's Corner. This
means that there will be work on this
section of road probably for six or
eight months. 1t is planned to COM
plete the work as quickly as possible
to the fork, at which one road leads
to Hare's Corner and the other to
New Castle. 1t is planned to keep
the New Castle road open from this
point and this will enable a detour to
be made while the road to Hare's
Corner is being rebuilt. The improve
ment of this section of road will
make a great change. Many people
travelling over the road often COM
planned of breaking springs in auto
mobiles as the road was so rough.
County Engineer Grubb stated that
it is planned to complete this work as
quickly as possible in order to prevent
any further detours by people wishing
TO go to the lower part of the county.

BAN OVERLOADED TRUCKS
State Highway Department to Save
Roads Gives Out a Warning to
All Auto Truck Owners

Recently it was discovered by the
State Highway Department of Della
wale that number of five-ton
trucks using the State roads are car
rylng loads up to eight and nine tons.
AS this Is an infraction of the State
maximum load laws, offenders will be
warned and prosecuted. For the de-
lection of those overlooking their
trucks the Department will purchase
set of road scales, which will be
placed along the road. To overload
the truck is also an infraction of the
load law allowing so many pounds per
inch per tire. 1t has been found that
twO-ton trucks have also been making
a practice of carrying loads up to
four and five tons.
The law regulating the weight of
trucks will not allow overlooking a
truck on account of the design of the
width of the truck wheel being such
that the load per inch per tire will be
exceeded by the overlooking of the
truck. A recent test by the Bureau
of Public Roads, Washington, led to
the discovery that the heavy load
carried by trucks causes more dam-
age to roads than any other traffic.
The test showed that a truck travel
ino Is miles per hour will multiply
its weight six times in passing over
a One-inch variation in the road, thus:
If the truck was passing along the
road at the rate stated and ran over
stone one inch in height, the blow
upon the road would measure six
times of the weight of the truck and
load. Another clause in the new laws
regulating loads and speed upon the
State highways is that all commercial
trucks ;carrying loads must have a
plate stating the weight of the load
placed in some conspicuous place on
the truck. Enforcement Of these
laws. will start Immediately.

SMYRNA's NEW STREET LIGHTS
Turned on Wednesday and Are Both
Admired and Criticized

The new street lighting service was
inaugurated in Smyrna last Wednes-
Gay evening and lights from the new
fixtures all over town were turned on.
These fixtures extend from brackets
from poles out in the stret and while
the lights so far as increased power
is concerned are greatly admired,
there is criticism that they do not ex-
tend out in the street far enough. Es-
recially at street intersections is this
noticeable. Heretofore the lights
we're swung from pole to pole in the
center of the street and a better SER
vice, many think, was obtained. How
ever, criticism is largely withheld to
see how the service will be after the
foliage comes out. At present the
now lights are lighting the streets
fairly well, and there being more of
them, a benefit to greater number
is obtained. All the lights now are
on a separate street circuit and unlike
the old service are not on the COM
mercial circuit but are controlled by
a separate switch at the plant
