What is termed as the business
streets of Little Falls on the East side
will be paved this year, contracts hav-
ing been let Wednesday evening cover
ing same. At the hearing there was no
opposition to paving in large part, but
there was a difference of opinion as
to advisability Of paving part Of the
territory for which the contract was let,
as it was felt that necessity in these
cases did not call for letting of bids at
the present abnormal prices. The ter
ritory south of Second avenue on First
street was left open with the proviso
that if the majority Of property hold
ers desired this improvement this year
bids would be let for same. In some of
the blocks to be paved there were
minority petitions, but the projects
taken as a whole furnished respect
able number favorable to going ahead
at this time, and the council acted
along this line. All, however, will
point with pride to the well:paved
streets of Little Falls, and all will
agree that paving is forward move
ment.

Two Million Tons Monthly Called
For Else Steps to Enforce
Treaty will Be Taken.
ulTIMATuM IS ISSUED
Negotiations Reach Another Tense
Point-German Official Asserts
Every Ton Sent To Allies Means
That Much Less Production.

Spa, Belgium-The Allies served an
ultfmatum upon the German delega'
ton to the conference here that the
Germans must agree at once to deliver
to the Allies 100000 tons Of coal
monthly. Otherwise, the Germans
were informed, the Allies will take
measures to enforce the terms of the
Versailles treaty. Thus the negotia'
tfons with the Germans have reached
another tense point.
The spirit of Cancellation adopted by
both sides has prevented break thus
far, but the Allies found it was neces'
sary to issue this 1ltimatum for car
ryfng out the treaty which would en-.
title them to greater amount Of coal
than is demanded. Coal was the sub,
ject of controversy during three-hour
session of Premier Millerand, Premier
Lloyd George, Count Sfroza, Italian
foreign minister; Viscount Chinda,
Japanese minister to Great Britain;
Premier Delacroix Of Belgium; Kon-
stantin Fehrenbach, the German chan.
cellor, and DR.. Walter Simons, tn. Ger
man foreign minister.
Germans Offer 100000 Tons.
The Allies began by insisting upon a
monthly delivery of 100000 tons.
The Germans offered 100000 tons,
and the Allies reduced their demand
to 5000. 900.
DIR. Simons represented that coal be-
ing the foundation of the industrial
life Of Germany, every ton that Ger.
many sent to the Allies meant that
much less production.
my contention is in European in
terests as much as in the interest of
Germany, because our payments to you
are conditioned upon our industrial
production. You want your money.
We want you to have it-but how can
we pay II you take away large guam.
titles of coal?"
The German foreign minister offered
then to increase the deliveries Of coal
from 100000 tons to 100000 within
six months and to 1,700,00 tons within
a year. This could be done, he said,
only il the Allies made better food pos
sible for the miners and contributed
materials to build houses for them.
The premiers, after prolonged discus
sion, informed the Germans that the
Allies must have their final answer at
once.

CHEER SOVIET RUSSIA
Third Party Delegates Give De-

Farm and Labor Men Urged to 5e'ze
Retns Of Government-RadtcaIs
Of all Stripes Gather.

Chicago-The Committee of Forty
eight and the Single Tax convention,
were in recess over Sunday, but at
tended the labor convention in force.
John Fitzpatrick, president OF the
Chicago Federation of Labor, and key
note speaker, brought the convention
to the highest enthusiasm with plea
that the day would come when the
working people of the United States
would get together and do job such
as the workers of Russia have DONE"
Soviet Russia cheered.
The biggest demonstration of the
day was accorded this reference, Dele
gates stamped and whistled, and when
one called for three cheers for Soviet
Russia" they were given.
Fitzpatrick declared there was moth
ing to prevent the hand and brain
workers taking the government out of
the hands of, not Americans, but inter-
national financial pirates" and advised
all the minority groups to unite on
one ticket.
In opening the convention Max
Hayes, chairman of the Labor party's
national committee, declared that
every political group assembled in this
city agrees in substance to the plat
form (which the labor party had for
mulated last November" This state
ment brought forth prolonged ap-
plause, in which delegates wearing
badges OF the Single Takers, Forty
Fighters and other elements attending
the convention joined.
The convention responded to the
suggestion Of Fitzpatrick and Hayes
by naming a committee of II to confer
with similar group from the Com
mittee of Forty-eight in an effort to
develop common ground on which
all could meet This conference was
intended to iron out details that had
proved stumbling blocks to amalgama-
ton.

Leave Third Party Convention and
Name Own Ticket.
Chicago-The first break in the
ranks of the radicals who are forming
new political party here came when
the single takers withdrew from the
fusion convention. The single tax de.
legates went into separate session and
selected their own party standard
bearers.
Robert o. Macauley of Philadelphia,
chairman of the national committee,
was nominated as the candidate for
president. For the vice presidency the
single takers chose R. c. Barnum of
Cleveland.
Leaders said the bolt was caused be-
cause the fusionists definitely re-
fused the inclusion of a single tax
plank and when they were convinced
that the new party nominee would not
conform to single tax theories.

The decision of the Polish govern

climax to task extendinge over
