Here is an interesting example Of
the. e.Anglicization of a French name:
In the development Of surnames in
this country ii must be borne in mind
that the Enelish-speaking element
was always In the ascendency In
certain settlements the language and
traditions OF ther countries-of
GGfmany, Holland. France ETC.
sometimes were maintained for
mdny years. But always the ten
dency was for the spread of the Eng
Nsl. language and English traditions.
Thus many a good old German or
Dutch or French OF Swedish name
has. been moulded past recognition
Though contact with the English
name il sounded most like. or II
there was no English name similar
to II then it was given an English
turn so that. save 70 the expert on
the. history of surnames. il might
pass to all intents and purposes a
true English name.

BRAND MAY QUIT AS PREMIER

Paris, Oct 27-Premier BRAND
may not after all attend the Washing
ton conference. He may be forced to
resign his premiership as a result of
the hostility of the chamber.
This situation has been growing
during the week, and it came to a
head late this evening when Andre
Tardieu, former French commiss ion
er and one of the trainers of the
peace treaty, delivered powerful at
tack in the name of the whole Nation
al party, which has formed the ma
jority in the chamber since the cleo
tions of November, 1919.
NJ Tardieu did not declare definite
1y M. Brands going to Washington,
but some of his followers did, and in
his speech the former treaty maker
indicated that he had no confidence
that the premier could successfully
conduct or direct the important dis
cussions in which he will be involved.
Every one, he said. recognized the
Importance of the conference, and M.
BRAND judged it so important that he
had prepared to leave the conduct of
the affairs of the country in the hands
Of the minister Of justice. But he
had not indicated to the chamber
what would be the program of the
French mission Did he think that
Limitation of armaments would be the
only question? If he did it was be-
cause he had not read either the
terms of the invitation or the COM
ment in the American press.
There was also the question of the
Pacific which would be discussed, and
the government ought to inform the
chamber what it's intentions were in
the grave and important questions
which would arise. Was the French
delegation going was as good techni-
cal advisors as the other powers
would have?
The problem of the Pacific, he re-
minded the chamber, was also ques-
The daily times., 1921-11-03

tiOn OF race. 1t was a problem
which involved the attitude of France
towards her loyal ally Japan and on
the other hand towards the great
friendly republic for which every
Frenchman felt as for a second coun-
try In presence of such a difficult
situation as that of the relation of
these two countries, both friends of
. France, there was urgent need. he
claimed, that the government should
have a clearly defined and establish
ed policy.
There was another danger which
touched France closely. That was
! the danger of "a coalition between
Germany. the Bolshevist dictator
ship and Chinese anarchy.
! At Washington America would
speak in the name of her Monroe
Doctrine. Great Britain would speak
in the name of hS doctrine of the
empire. But France was going alone
to Washington, and not as she ought
to go as leader of the European con-
tereStS
NJ Tardieu then turned to interior
politics and was cheered by nearly
two-thirds of the deputies when he
accused the premier of trying to gov
ern with the support of the minority
of the chamber, who represented the
defeated party at the last election.
This attack is the direct result of the
at Saint Nazaire and in the chamber
last Friday to obtain majority from
the Liberals among the deputies. To
do so fe tried to split the National
weekend they have affirmed their
solidarity. and NJ. Tardieu's effort
this evening was to persuade them in
the name of the electors to turn
against the premier. Whether he has
succeeded or not for tomorrow, it is
thought that he has certainly done so
for some date in the near future.
The danger is that M. BRAND has
declared that he would not go to
Washington unless he had a strong
majority, and it has always been his
policy to reign if he found himself
with a majority insufficient for any
task he had in hand. More than once
when he has done that he has been
but even in that case his government
would have to depend on it's enemies
for votes.
During the earlier part Of today's
session several other references were
made to the proposed journey to
Washington, all Of them unfavorable.
Marcel Cachin, the communist leader,
prophesied that because Japan and
America were strongly capitalistic
countries the only result of the con-
ference would be new war.
Edouard Soulier, a Protestant pas
tor and friend of M. Tardieu's, start

on the inclusion of Philippe Berthe
lot in the mission on account of his
relation with the bankrupt Industrial
Bank of China
Once more Premier BRAND took up
| the defense of his assistant and de-
| clared that all M. Berthelot had done
! was justified and he would not per-
NIT such attacks on a Jealous and

speeches were made by the team
captains, President Isaac Alpern,

The campaign is in connection
with the nationwide movement for

carried on in the way of letters to
schools and the placing of what
are known as automatic tellers in
the parochial schools. These are
small savings banks for the children
to deposit their pennies. When they
have saved a dollar they are given

The prize for the team that Sc
cures the most deposits during the
next sixty days is trip to WASH

are three employees of the trust
company on each team with a di-
rector of the institution associated
with each one. Judging from the

Second and Third Polls of
First Ward Completed Yes
terday Afternoon
159 BALLOTS REFERRED
Exact Results Will Not be
Known Till Judge Bergen
Decides
7 BRUNSWICK,

NEW BRUNSWICK. Dec. L
The Perth Amboy recount was
completed yesterday afternoon by
the Middlesex County Board of
Elections, the results showing that.
without counting the referred bal
lots Richard j. Calvin. Democrat,
had defeated John N. Wester. Re-
publican, for the office of Alder
man-at-large by forty-one votes.
Calvin also had one more referred
vote than Wester to his credit. The
original figures from Perth Amhoy
showed Calvin elected by a major
ity of ten votes. Owing to this
small difference Alderman-at-Large
Wester asked for the recount. AL
though the complete returns Will
not be known until Supreme Court
Justice James j. Bergen disposes of
the ballots referred to him, Calvin
has already gained thirty-one votes
as a result of the recount.
The third and fourth polls of the
first ward were counted yesterday
afternoon this completing the work
of the board which has been sitting
for more than week. The original
count in the third poll of the first
ward gave Wester 262 and Calvin
1872. The recount figures showed
Wester with 261 and one referred
and Calvin with $50 and three re-
ferred. Neither candidate gained
much in this poll. In the fourth poll
the original count gave Wester 241
and Calvin III while the recount
figures gave Wester 241 with four
referred and Calvin 10 with two re-
ferred.
The total original vote for the
first ward was Wester 1924 and Gal
win SCI. The recount figures were
Weste~ 1011 with fourteen referred
and Calvin 564 with eight referred.
Now that the election board has
completed it's work the exact result
of the recount depends upon the dis
posiricn made by Judge Bergen OF
the referred ballots which will go to
him FOR the decision. 1t is generally
believed that most Of the ballots re-
ferred to the judge will be counted
and if they are the result will not be
a great deal different from the way
it stands at present The sixth ward

CLEAR SAILING
FOR CIVIC BODY
Chamber of Commerce is
Cleared of Old Debt Ready
to Start Constructive Work

There are brighter days ahead for
the Chamber of Commerce, accord
ing to President Isaac Alpern today,
as the organization is once more
clear of debt and ready for clear
sailing. For some months past, in
fact, since its oganization by the
American City Bureau, the Chamber
has been struggling under a sum
due the bureau for the work per-
formed during the campaign.
Thus sum, according to Mr.. Alpern
has been wiped out by settlement
arranged with the bureau as the
balance due for the efforts put forth
by the organization here.
The fact that the Chamber ives
unable to meet its obligation with
the American City Bureau was due
to members which the bureaus
workers obtained during the drive.
These persons signed up to become
members of the Chamber but then,
according to Mr.. Alpern, when the
time came to pay dues, backed up
and of course with. this money not
rnateriaBzing it became Impossible
for the Chamber to meet the obli-
cation. In view of this the officials
Of the American City Bureau, made
a reduction in the amount due them
so that the local Chamber could set
tie and again be free of debt.
With this debt out of the way the
chamber expects to be able to do
more work in the future, and one OF
the first undertaken is the meeting
tomorrow night of the taxpayers
who will organize to protect their
interests in the tax fight that is now
pending before the State Board OF
Taxation on the application that the
valuations in Middlesex county are
too low.
1t is understood that the Cham
ber will hold a dinner in the near
future at which time speaker OF
national prominence will be present.
This affair will also be the starting
of a membership boom. which Is ex-
pected to make the Chamber the

CITY RECOUNT NOW COMPLETE
SHOWS BIG GAIN FOR CALVIN;
FIGHT IN ROOSEVELT COUNT
County Board Has WrangIe
Over Meaning of Roosevelt
Recount Order
TO RECOUNT ENTIRE VOTE
Vote of ChiIds, Democrat, and
Phillips, Republican, for
Councilman to be Counted

NEW BRUNSWICK. Dec. 1.-Af-
ter practically the entire morning
had been spent today in an effort to
interpret the correct meaning of 4 e
court order issued by Supreme Court
Justice James j. Bergen in regard to
Gilman contest between Joseph C.
Ch..5s Democrat, and Charles A.
Phillips, Republican. After a vote of
the members of the county board as
to whether the vote for four council
men or two councilmen would be re-
counted, resulted in a tie, Justice
Bergen was communicated with and
ordered that the vote cast for the
four councilmen be recounted.
Childs was defeated by Phillips
by twenty-four votes, and the re-
suit of this election meant the as
sumption of borough power by the
Republicans J. II. Thayer Martin,
or Woodbridge, representing the Re-
publicans, demanded that the votes
cast for the election of Sam Brown,
Democrat, over Leslie Hall, Republi-
can, be recounted as well as the
votes cast in the Childs-P Phillips con-
test. David Wilentz,. representing the
Democrats. declared that the order
was made for the Childs- Phillips
contest, anC only the votes cast tor
these two men would be counted.
The lawyers wrangled over this
matter for some time, and 1t was n
nally decided to put the matter to
vote of the four members of the
county election board.
The mem bers of the county board
voted along party lines and the
question remained undecided. The
word of Justice Bergen was decid-
ed on as the only means of media
ton and information was finally
received that he ordered the re-
count of the votes cast for the four
councilmen.
The vote cast in the contest be-
tween Childs and Phillips, was
1929 for Phillips, the Republican
candidate. and 1905 for Childs, a
difference of twentyfour votes.
In addition to the members of the
election hoard and the attorneys.
Louis P. Booz and Fred Simons are
checking the count for the Demo-
Gratis, and Charles Phillips and Will
liam Walling are checking for the
Republicans. Tim Nevill. a Repub-
lican and Francis Monaghan, DEM
ocrat, both from Roosevelt. are in
terested spectators.
The election of Brown over Hall
was conceded by the Republicans.
and it is not likely that the re-
count of the votes cast for these
men will make eny change in the
result.
