BORAH URGES
DISARMAMENT

Early last week 1t became apparent
that the administration had virtually
abandoned its fight against Senator
Borah's amendment to the pending
naval appropriation bill, which requests
the President to enter into negotia-
lions with Great Britain and Japan
for an agreement to curtafl naval
building. Maybe Mr.. Harding's
change of attitude was forced, for test
votes in the senate on Wednesday
showed the opponents of the naval
affairs committees program were nu-
merous enough to do about as they
pleased. The opposition included sew
eral insurgent Republican senators
and all the Democrats. Senator Pom
dexter, chairman, already had written
to the President informing him of the
situation, stating that many of the
administrations strongest support Frs
would be embarrassed If called on to
vote against the Borah amendment,
which they had advocated in the last
hours of the Wilson administration.
He did not tell what the President
nothing indicating any need for max
ing a point of order against or oppos-
ing the Borah amendment, which is
the same as the one adopted in the
last congress. l am heartily in favor
of an international limitation of arm
aments upon basis doing justice to
the United States and not imperiling
our national safety"
The bill as adopted by the naval
committee calls for the outlay of $780,
1000 for the navy next year. The
insurgents and Democrats succeeded
in amending it In several particulars,
reducing various specific appropri.
atoms and killing one completely
that of S1,150,000 for a drydock at
the Charleston navy yard.
1t was predicted the insurgents
would not go further in the disarm.
ament plan than to force adoption of
the Borah amendment, though they
might favor one offered by Senator
Pomerene authorizing the President to
suspend the present building program
pending the outcome of the proposed
negotiations
The administration also let the
house know that it had no objection
to its proceeding with the peace with
Germany resolution, and the house
committee on foreign affairs has be-
gun work on the measure. The house
leaders do not agree with certain
phases of the Knox resolution adopted
by the senate, but the differences prob
ably can easily be recOnciled.

FARMERS CLUB
MEETS

New Hope - The Solebury Farm
er5' Club met at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Albert w. Preston on Satul day,
May 81. Supper was served OH the
lawn, the gentlemen doing ali the SER
wing, an innovation greatly appreciat-
ed by the ladies.
The meeting was called to order at
eight o'clock.
The Crops and Marketing Commit
tee said there is no. too much good
clover. 1t seems to be winter killed.
Wheat seems yellow caused by the
late frost. Corn is now selling at 62
cents; wheat at $119, and oats at As
cents. Hay brings $1,000 a ton. limo
thy stands too full of white top this
year. Potatoes look fine, old potatoes
sell for 60 cents bushel. Jersey far
mers are spraying row, ard report
bugs out early and plentiful.
The Dairy and Dairy Products COM
mittee noted the failure of passage of
the bill to prevent the adGiteratlon of
milk products with cocoanut oil. The
widespread use of oleo was lamented.
The retail price of milk in Philadel-
phia has been reduced two cents and
the wholesale price one and three
quarter cents. The committee also sug-
gsted that farmers mix thei' own COW
feed as this can be done at home much
cheaper than to buy it already mixed.
Mr.. Hubert Walton thinks one rea-
son that the price of milk has been le-
duced is that all milk shippers are
not in the shippers association, Only
about seventy-five percent. of the
farmers sending milk to the city be-
long to this association, and Mr.. Wal
ton believe that until there is one
hundred percent. representation, milk
prices will be made contrary to the
wishes of the farmer.
Mr.. Arcoll believes there are only
81 percent of the cows in the county
producing enough to buy their feed,
and suggested that more corn be fed.

The supreme council is expected to
convene very soon, especially to take
up the Silesian problem, and Ameri-
can Ambassador Harvey will sit
with it. But, as was said above, he
will take no part i'll the discussions
concerning that question, nor will he
even express an opinion on 1t. This
was made clear by Secretary of State
Hughes in his reply to an appeal from
Poland for American support. Mr..
Hughes explained to Prince Lubom-
risky, Polish minister, that this is in
accord with the traditional policy of
the United States" not to become in
voved in matters of purely European
concern. The Polish note accuses the
allies, except France, of dealing with
the whole question mot by principles
of justice, but by the material inter
ests of those powers and it con-
cludes: "This is not a purely Euro
pean matter. On the just solution of
the matter of Upper Silesia depends
the pacification of this province and
the stimulation of its productivity,
which has a great Importance in the
re-establlshment of the economic sta
bility of the whole world"
SO the Silesian question has created
a most serious situation, and Germany
is sitting back hopeful of a real breach
in the unity of the allies. But prob
ably wiser councils will prevail, the
anger of the chief actors will subside,
and some peaceful way out of the
muddle will be discovered,
The allies last week sent to Berlin
a note reiterating the demand that
Germany be disarmed by June 30, and
the German government began looking
for means of compliance, especially
as regards the orgesch of Bavaria
which has refused to disband. Berlin
informed the reparations commission
that it was ready to pay 150,000O0O
gold marks of the billion due May 81.
The sum, partly in gold and partly in
foreign securities, will be paid through
an American bank. probably Morgan's.
The gold will be deposited in the
Reichsbank subject to call and check
sent to New York and from there to
Paris. Thus the transfer of 90 tons OF
gold from Berlin to Paris is obviated.
The United States government is not
concerned in the transaction.

R. R. MAY ADOPT.
DAYLIGHT SAVING.

Lambertville- Commuters on the
railroad between here and Trenton
are interested in the daylight saving
ordinance adopted by Philadelphia,
because it may affect the Pa. R. R.
in changing its schedules. With New
York and Philadelphia already with
the new time in use, it makes it diff
cult for travellers between the two
points and Trenton in between. The
conductors were instructed to ques-
ton each passenger on all trains
last Monday, asking if he or she con-
sidered it more convenient to have
the train on which they were riding
an hour earlier.
Should the trains on the Belvidere
Division be moved forward an hour,
it will mean that the majority of the
commuters now arriving home at 4.55
standard time, will not arrive until
5.48, according the proposed schedule
on standard time. This would make
them reach Lambertville at 6.48 day
light saving time. Those leaving in
the morning at 600 standard time,
would leave here at 6.23 standard,
or 1923 daylight saving time. They
would sacrifice nearly an hour in the
evening to gain % minutes in the
morning.
Standard time in Lambertville, and
daylight saving time in Trenton, is
an advantage to commuters from this
place. Those who formerly took the
3.35 in the morning, now go down on
the 7,20 By going down an hour and
-welve minutes earlier, they get back
in the afternoons an hour and fifty
minutes earlier. If those now going
down on the 600 am. had to go at
800 by the new time, it would have
them going to bed during daylight on
long summer days when the sun sets
late. Some of the towns in the upper
end of the county have changed back
to the old time. What is really need
ed is a national law for daylight saw
ing, so that all could reap the benifit
Of the extra hours of daylight. 1t is
confusing and annoying to have diff
ferent time in adjoining towns.

FINES FOR
: 90 TRAITORS

Few things lately have given the
American people more satisfaction
than the sentencing of Mrs. Emma
Bergdoll of Philadelphia and of her
son Charles F. Braun and several 9TH
ers for the part they took in the es-
cape from the draft of her two sons,
Grover and Erwin. Mrs. Bergdoll
must pay fine of $1,000 or go to the
federal penitentiary for year and
day. Braun and ]. e. Romig received
the same sentence. Others are to pay
smaller fines or serve lesser terms in
prison.

BUS TURNS TURTLE

Lambertville- A big bus belonging to
John I. wilkins, running between
this place and Trenton, ran off the
road and turned on its side Wednes-
day night late, and narrowly escaped
killing the driver and several passen-
gers. Wilkins was driving at the
time of the accident, and according
to reports was having difficulty with
his lights when the accident occurred.
He attempted to make an adjustment
of the headlights, which were dimm-
ing and apparently about to go out,
vhile he continued driving. Sudden
ly the lights went out entirely, and
apparently blinded by the darkness,
he steered the bus off the left side
the road nto a depression filled
with water at a point half way be-
tween the Titusville Rubber Mill and
the Mt. Resale Road. If the bus had
gene to the right instead it would
gone into the canal.
After breaking through the fence
and plunging into the depression be
low the level of the road, the bus
turned on it's side. Wilkins was I'M
onscious for a half hour, and the
passengers had to break the windows
to get from the interior. The door
# the bus was on the side on the
l,uaJ, and could not be opened.
Those riding in the bus at the
time were Mrs. Edward Benson and
daughter, Miss Edith Benson, of 60
W. Hanover St., Trenton;Miss Addie
Hoffman, los N. Willow St. Trenton;
Mrs. Culver, and two sons of Cleve-
land Culver, of Wilburtha, and Mr..
C. Willard Allen, of Lambertville.

after surgical operations. Chief

CUT FOR R. R.
~ 0' ! LABOR Al

After one days consideration of
the railway wage case, the federal
railway labor board made a prelim-
mary announcement foreeasting a gen
eral reduction of wages on every rail-
road, effective July l. On June l the
board will make its decision on wage
disputes filed prior to April Is, and
this will set the standard for all fu-
ture decisions affecting the two million
employees who were granted a $780,
100000 annual wage increase one year
ago, The reduction may be as much
as 10 per cent. An immediate result
of the announcement was the re-
employment of 5000 men by the Chica-
go g. Alton, and there were predlc-
tions that practically all of the $50,
600 railway men now out of work
would be employed by the time the
wage reductions go into effect.
