Recent Revolt Plots in
Petrograd

MOSCOW, Sept. S.-The Russian
soviet government has declined to
permit the International Russian Re-
lief Commission recently appointed

This decision was made known to-
day by a note forwarded by NJ.
Chitcherin, the Soviet foreign min
lister to England. Italy, France and
Belgium. The note classed the ap-
rointment of Joseph Noulens of

ing charged with participation in the

BLAME j. 8. FOR
MANDATE DELAY
Charges of Purely Negative
Position of U. S. Made by
Lord Cecil at Geneva

GENEVA, Sept. 8 (By The Asso-
purely negative position of the
United States had been responsible
for the delay in the application OF
mandates by the league of nations
representative for South Africa, a
todays session of the assembly which
took up general discussion of the
accomplishments of that body to
date.
A furry of interest spread over
the audience as the South African
delegate arose and announced he
wished to speak on mandates. Lord
Cecil reviewed the whole mandate
question, during which he took oc-
casion not onty to criticise the policy
of the United States, but also lack
of publicity permitted by the recent
meeting of the council of the league.
Says Note Was Delayed
Regarding the note recently sent
by the United States department of
state, he said that international af-
fairs would have been better ad-
vanced had it been received earlier.
"These territories" he said, must
no longer be left in their present
situation, deprived of definite
status or definite government"
He said he did not want to ap
pear to criticise the United States,
but the mandates should be settled
in interest of the people directly
entrusted with them and without
further delay"
Charge of Extravaganza
Charges that the League of Ma
tions had been eXtravagant and
have Disseminated against coun-
tries which remained neutral in the
world war were made by Mr..
Branting, of Sweden. He also crit
icised the action of the council, in
awarding the Aland Islands to Fin
land, saying he regretted that the
council took into consideration ar
guments which did not apply.
Lord Robert Cecil praised the
frankness of NJ. Barnting. but de-
Tended the secretariat of the league
from his charges of eXtraVagant and
partiality

Greatest Number Ever Before
in History of Perth Amboy
Figures Show
HIGH SCHOOL INCREASES
148 More Enrolled There This
Year Than laSt--InCreaSe
General All Over City

The public schools of Perth AM
boy started classes this morning
with a total enrolment of 1888 pu-
pills, greater number than ever
before in the history of the city. The
high school department alone has a
total registration of 713 pupils, which
is an increase of 14S over last years
enrolment, Superintendent Samuel
f. Shull said this morning, while the
increase for the whole city is 800.
The grammar school department
of tho high school has ninety-five
students, while the grammar school
proper has an enrolment of 1927.
The number at the grammar school
is not much greater than that of
last year, superintendent Shull said,
for the reason that the grammar
school is always taxed to capacity
and no more pupils could possibly
be admitted. Pupils registered for
the continuation school total 357 in
number.
Following is the registration re-
ported for all the grade schools of
the city: No. 1, 556: No. 2, 497;
No. 8, 81; No. 4, SAT; No. 5, S26;
No. 6, 513; No. Z, SIS; No. 8, 1872;
No. 9. 624; No. 10. 500.
Superintendent Shull pointed out
this morning that the unprecedented
enrolment in the high school would
necessitate the removal of the eighth
grade from the high school to the
grammar school building in order to
accommodate the students in the
high school, and that the class of
sixth graders now at the grammar
school would have to be removed to
either School No. 1 or School No. g..
Half Day Sessions.
The great number of pupils will
also mean the beginning of half ses-
sions for certain classes at Schools
1, 2, S, and s, Mr.. Shull said.
Part time sessions for classes above
the first year will be avoided if it be
possible in any way, Mr.. Shull sta
ted that he thought arrangements to
this end could be made at all build
ings but School /, where the situa-
ton is doubtful.
The school system is still in the
process of organization today and
probably will not be functioning nor
mally until the beginning of the
next week, according to the superin-
tendent. Half-hearted attempts to
hold classes are being made, but the
influx of students makes numerous
adjustments necessary and shuts out
the possibility of a smooth begin
ming.

TRENTON, Sept. Son the

struction of roads throughout the
state. the Highway Commission at
its meeting here yesterday denied
the application of Hampton Cutter
for permission to place a crossing
over Route No. of the highway
system in Woodbridge township,
near Perth Amboy. The crossing
was to be used for clay business
purposes and it had been recon-
mended by an inspector of the Pub
lie Utility Commission. The mem
bers of the highway commission
took the position that these cross
ings no matter how infrequently
used are a menace to safety of the
travelling public and inasmuch as the
state is spending thousands of dol
lars in its road building program to
avoid such nuisances decided that 1t

tracts later.

| gram, but petitions bearing thou
sands of names were received by
them demanding road improvements
| and much of the work had been
done.
Sewaren Pavement
With reference to West avenue,
Sewaren, the statement says, war
renite on a concrete base was decid-
ed upon after Freeholder Walter
Quakenbush had consulted his con-
stituents in that vicinity and learned
that this was the type of paving
desired. Warrenite was also used
in this case, it was said, to make the
paving uniform with that already
laid in Perth Amboy.
AS to the Fords-Rogans road, the
statement continues, warrenite on
concrete was decided upon after
Woodbridge Committeeman William
Hoy, representing Fords, informed d
the freeholders that this was the
type wanted by his constituents. The
township was paying for one-half of
this work, the freeholders point out,
and therefore they agreed to this
type of road.
The Lincoln Boulevard concrete
road in Middlesex borough and the
SoiiSi SeS lOuu AiohA AiSiiiiSted "

built by the county. were constructed
because this type of road was re-
quested. the aldermen contend.
The Bordentown avenue. South
Amboy road was built of warrenite
on a concrete base upon request of
the city and the municipality paid
one-half of the cost, the statement
declares.
Answer Criticism
In answer to criticism as to the
cost of the road building in the coun-
ty as compared with the cost else
where the freeholders maintain that
the prices paid are about the same as
in other places. On the New Bruns-
wick Trenton turnpike, 1t is pointed
out, the cost was $45,000 mile this
being slightly high owing to the ex-
cessive amount of cutting. filling and
grading made necessary and the in
stallation of lateral viaducts. This
road is three miles long. The Eas-
ton avenue-Landing Bridge road, less
than a mile in length. cost $42.5S8,
there also being an excessive amount
of filling and grading to be done here,
the statement says.
In conclusion the statement places
the cost of the -Plainsboro-
Cranbury road, about one and half
miles in length, at $72,126. this cost
at the rate of $4,000 per mile.

Freeholders In Paving
Statement Say Demands
OfPeopLe Were Needed

tBy Evening News Stan Correspondent ]
NEW BRUNSWICK, Sept. s.
AS result of the attack against the
use of patent paving in the construc-
ton of county roads made by the
press and public. the Board of Free
holders today issued a statement en-
deavoring to defend and explain their
stand in the matter. The defense of
the freeholders is that the material
used in the road building program
was the type demanded by the resi-
dents in that particular district. The
freeholderS claim that in sections
where the constituents wished war
renite used, they decided to use this
form of pavement while in others
where concrete was petitioned for,
concrete was used.
Answers Two Candidates.
The action taken by the freehold
ers in issuing a statement is thought
to have been the direct result of the
action of Arthur X. Hillpot, of Me-
tuchen, and William S. Hannah, of
Milltown, in declaring that il cleo
ted to the Board of Freeholders they
would fight the patent paving ring
as they both are unalterably opposed
to the laying of any permanent roads
in the county other than concrete.
Two of the present freeholders who
are seeking reelection, Robert r.
Vandenbergh, of Prospect Plains,
and George s. Applegate, of South
River, are understood to be in ac-
cord with the road program which
the freeholders have been carrying
out and consequently this statement
has been forthcoming.
THE freeholders feel that the
board owes it to themselves and the
taxpayers to make an explanation
at this time concerning the use of
the various kinds of paving in coun-
ty road work." the statement says.
THE board at no time expressed
preference for warrenite or any 9TH
er type of paving" the statement
continues, but felt that the demands
made by their constituents be taken
into consider ation."
ConceDsus of Opinion.
The statement explains that the
county is divided into seven dis
tricts, each of which is presided over
by a freeholder whose duty it is to
learn the concensus of opinion of
those residing there. In all cases,
the freeholders claim, demands for
the various types of road have been
made by these constituents and the
freeholders felt it their duty to sat-
isfy their requests. The freeholders,
according to the statement, had no
intention of embarking on an exten-
