Getting drunk twice in seventeen
hours Is not such q bad record for
these prohibition days. so the record
maker. Ace Holmes. an FISHERMAN
from Keyport, has been sent to

pick potato bugs.
Holmes was arrested on Wednes-

to carry his load of liquor. When
arraigned before Recorder Pfckers-
gill yesterday morning the man
pleaded to be left go, and the court
imposed a fine of SIS. He left the

FRONT STREET,
kEYPORT IS BAD
Action Is Wanted BY State to
Put This Borough Street in
Better Condition.

KEYPORT, Aug. 6.-The condi-
ton of Front street is more than de-
plorable and although it has been
expected that work of building the
new road would be started long be-
fore this. to date no effort has been
put forth to improve the street in
any way and It is almost impossible.
Autoists have complained for weeks
of the large holes in the road all the
way from the corner Of Broad and
Front streets to Cliffwood hill where
the new road begins, but the holes
have not been filled in.
Front street Is a state road, and at
the recent meeting of the council,
Engineer Crawford presented the de-
plorable condition to the board and
Clerk Terry was instructed to write
to the state highway department and
ask that the repairs be started di-
rect1y. Several large boat loads of
crushed stone have been brought
here for the new road. which 1t has
been announced previously, would be
started at any time.
With the building OF the new
roadway the traffic conditions in this
section will equal, II not surpass
those of nearby boroughs, for there
will be miles of concrete road, ex-
tending from Red Bank approxim-
ately to Perth Amboy.
A new roadway along Front street
IS most needed for the auto traffic
along this street particularly over
the week-ends and holidays is ex-
tremely heavy thousands of cars
passing in Just a few hours.

REDS PUSH TO WARSAW;
NO MOVE FOR ARMISTICE
CONTINUED from page ~
What Russian Note said.

BY The Associated Pres.
LONDON. Aug. en-. Kameneh.
of the Russian soviet delegation. sent
Premier Lloyd George last night his
long communication giving his
governments reply to Great Britain's
note with regard to the delay in
armistice negotiations between Rus
STA and Poland.
NJ. Kameneh-s statement declared
the soviet government never desired
to combine the negotiations for ar
armistice with negotiations for peace.
but. that It demands that the terms
Of the armistice include reasonable
guarantees which would prevent at
tempts on the part OF Poland to use
the period Of the armistice for re-
newal Of hostile acts.
The sole obstacle in the way OF the
beginning Of negotiations for suspen-
sion OF military operations. says tho
note. is the absence of Polish dele
gates whose return Is being awaited
by representatives of the soviet
government in order that negotia-
tons may be Immediately opened.
The note continued:
The Russian soviet government
again declares that il Is firm in the
recognition OF the freedom and in
dependence of Poland and its willing
ness to grant TO the Polish states
wider frontiers than were indicated
by the supreme council and men
toned In the British note of July
90"
With regard to the proposed Lon
don peace conference the note says
in substance that the soviet govern
ment had proposed that the con
ference be only with the leading
powers of the entente, because the
usefulness of such a conference arose
from the fact that without the as
sistance OF the leading powers. war
could not be waged by other states
of Europe would be guaranteed.

PROGRESS IN CIVIL FLYING
MADE BY DIFFERENT NATIONS

LONDON, Aug. e.-Progress in
civil flying made by the various
countries of the world since the
armistice is discussed in a detailed
report Just made public by Sir
Frederick Sykes, Controller General
of Civil Aviation in Great Britain.
Despite the fact that Germany,
Austria, and Hungary are forbidden,
under the terms OF peace, to
manufacture or import aircraft
lengines. the report points out that
these three countries are in progress
of organizing departments of govern
ment to deal with civil aviation. AT
the present time, Sir Frederick says,
there are twenty-five air transport
companies in Germany and the
humber is increasing monthly.
Shortage of fuel and the general
chaotic economic situation is retard-
ing aviation in Austria. says the re-
port. Belgium has organized an Air
Ministry and has established air
attaches in Paris and London. The
government, it is said, has ap-
propriated 1000, 900 francs for de-
velopment of flying in the Belgian
Congo.
Great progress is recorded IN
France which has air attaches in all
of the chief capitals of the world.
whose duty it is to study the aviation
In various countries.
FRANCE, he'says, has acquired five
Aerod<omes and twenty -four landing
grounds for the use of civilian flying
and is also planning to connect ali
her colonial possessions by airi!res.
Italy has appointed sixteen all
ettaches in as many countries, says
the report, and is spending large
buns of money in order to keep her.

Some Democrats are buster dis
