GERMANY A PUZZLE

Beyond the fact that Bavaria has
defied the allied powers in refusing
10 disband its civilian military or
ganizations and that the Berlin
reichstag has tabled the order de-
signed to coerce Bavaria, there has
been little change in the German stu
alton. The action of the Bavartan
leaders and the reichstag was taken
despite reports that France intends
to occupy Frankfort and possibly 9th
er important cities if refusal 10 com
ply with the order persists.
The whole German attitude TO the
unfulflled terms Of the Versailles
treaty. the reparations program and
the allied occupation is that, I'VE are
damned if we comply and damned II
we don't" The difficulties Of either
course are so pronounced that the
leaders are in a quandary and prob
ably DISPOSED to let the questions solve
themselves along present lines of al
lied action. In the inability Of the
German government 70 map out
clear course, its leaders seem inclined
I
TO accept conditions as they are and
assume an attitude of martyrdom'
while they make feeble protests to the
League of Nations and continue prop
uganda in the hope of affecting other
countries to the point of exercising
pressure for relief.
If the German government has no
other plan in the back of its head a Id
as the entire matter Is largely one of
economics, 1t will be solved by an
unusual economic method-the appli-
cation Of tariff principles to war prob
lems-not an entirely new method but
one which never before has been ap-
piled on such an extensive scale. The
spectacle then arises of yictors max
ing a forcible but otherwise peaceful
occupation of a conquered nation, ex-
ercising a supervision over its trade
and industries, ald collecting In the
form Of dutes-sanction is the dip
lomatic word used to cover the rami-
fications of the transaction-the repa-
rations demanded.
1t will be interesting to watch the
methods by which the allies shall pre-
vent German goods escaping the tariff
embargo through the nearby neu-
trail nations. Already a modified
blockade has been suggested. along
with an occupation of all the land

that Poland is ready to invade Ger

in effect recommended 10 the council
OF the allied nations that tariff sehed-
ues shall not be imposed which will
crush the Industries of the Rhineland
territory. but shall have punitive

ST. PATRICK'S DAY BROUGHT
NO PEACE IN IRELAND

81. Patrick's day did not usher in
the much discussed truce or even i'm
portant negotiations for peace in Ire
land. That such negotiations are not
brewing and probable, cannot be
stated so positively. Undoubtedly
strong agencies are working toward
the opening of negotiations. In view
of the determined stand of the British
government and the equally strong at
titude of the Sim Fein, some change
in conditions must present itself be-
fore either side feels like altering its
position. Lloyd George is reported to
favor postponing action on peace IN
I'll after the elections of the new Irish
parliaments, believing that they will
result in a new Dali Eireann with
which he would be willing to negotiate
a truce. Meanwhile the state of af-I
fairs in the unhappy country continues
very bad with the daily toll Of muir
ders, executions and disturbances
large and grievous.

RUSSIA SEEMS DOOMED TO
CONTINUAL REVOLUTION

Russia's revolution seems TO have
been checked temporarily at least, with
the evacuation of Kronstadt, restora-
ton of a more or less orderly condl-
ton in Moscow and the removal Of the
immediate menace to Petrograd, The
operations of the revoluuonaries
around the latter place were doomed
to failure when they failed to take
the stronger defenses of the city such
as fortress Krasnaya Gorka.
The Red government has been sue
cessful. but its weakened hold is seen
in the fact that the revolution move
mept started among the soldiers and
sailors, the forces which made the
establishment of the government pos
sible and heretofore have been its
strongest adherents.
AS Indicative of the seriousness
with which the government is menaced,
and its desire to placate other ma
lions is the ratification Of peace with
Poland and signing Of the long dis
cussed trade agreement with Great
Britain. The Russians had been re-
ported as massing heavy forces op

SCHOOL BILL
in LIMELICHT

Lambertville- The taxpayers of this
county are very much interest in AS
semblyman A. Lincoln Moore's bill
which would apportion the school
moneys of the state to the districts on
the basis of enrolment and attend
ance
Its passage would mean the lifting
of much of the excessive tax burdens,
according to those interested, and
would only restore a condition that
prevailed for years until the larger
cities and wealthy centers got busy"
and secured laws that passed out The
moneys on basis of extra features
added to the schools, thus enabling
places that could afford special teach
ers and special features to secure a
lager appropriation than the poorer
districts, Per capita of school, attend
ance.
In this city the people would be
better eff, financially, without state
aid at all, provided no state school
taxes were levied. In otner words, if
ne " Of hambertville could conduit
and pay for it's schools at less cost to
the taxpayer if it alone were respon-
sible.
Local oDJecIorS point out tnat tne
schools are compelled, under state di-
rection, to be run on a much larger
scale than necessary for Lambertville
pupils alone, in order that outside
pupils may be accommodated, and
that the tuition secured from the out
side pupils does not pay for the extra
cost.
For many years the state paid
about half the cost of running the
country schools in this and other
rural counties. bat at present most OF
the school districts pay more to tie
sta.e than the sta e retn'rs II them,
he difference going, it is alleged, to
the more wealthy ceEters where the
extra features have been introduced
into the schools in order to secure
the larger state congratulations.

NEWS REVIEW OF
CURRENT EVENTS
Meat Strike Rests in Conference
of Packers, Union Chiefs and
Government Officials.
By {, F, CLIPSON.

Hopes for settlement without
strike of the labor difficulties exist
ing in the meat-packing industry,
lodge in the mediation arbitration eff
forts of the United States government.
Secretary of Labor Davis, although
new to his position, has been brought
quickly into a realization of Its re-
sponsibilities. In order that he may
get off Oh the proper foot and show
the people that he is the right man
In the right place, he is neglecting no
effort to bring about an adjustment
of the trouble which threatens one of
the most important items of the ma
lions good supply.
Although the result OF the strike
ballot leaves no doubt that the EN-
ployees are In a mood to attempt
complete tieup and gives their repre-
sentatives a powerful weapon in the
mediation conference at Washington,
there is a distinctly optimistic phase
In the willingness shown by both sides
to take part In that conference. 1t
indicates a desire for a reasonable adj
justment, and the fact that the pro-
ceeding is occurring under such i'm
portant government auspices, warrants
assumption that it will be more readily
productive of results than If left sim
ply to negotiations between the pack
ers and their employees. In the latter
event, with both sides thoroughly stiff
necked. a strike would be the logical
outcome The affair has great portent
as showing how the present ad-
ministration proposes to deal with the
larger phases of capital and labor
strife, particularly as relating to the
cost of living and the return to nor
NAL conditions.
An important development of the
controversy pointing to possible meth
DDS of eliminating similar difficulties
In the future, is the announced offer
of some of the larger packers to
democratize their plants. The pro-
posal is to give employees voice in
labor conditions by separating the
plants into general divisions covering
the principal products, matters of pro-
duction and mechanical departments,
each division TO be subdivided into
voting precincts of about 300 en-
ployees. The employees are to elect
delegates TO a divisional council
which shall in turn choose delegates
to a general plant conference board,
while the company names an equal
number Of delegates TO both board and
councils.
1t is proposed that the board shall
make recommendations on employ
ment, wages, working conditions safe
ty. sanitation, recreation, transporta-
ton and other matters OF mutual
interest These recommendations
when concurred in by majority OF
the board are 10 be regarded as de-
cisions binding on plants affected In
the case of tie, the matter may go
TO arbitration. Union labor officials
denounce the plan as one intended to
deceive the employees, disrupt the
unions and substitute shop union
controlled by the companies.

Lambertville-It seems likely now
that the elopement of Theodore Vert
and Mrs. Helen Rauschert which ter
minated Tuesday, will be a closed
incident. Philadelphia authorities re-
fused to turn Vert over to Policeman
William Morse of this city, because
the papers were not made out proper
ly. It cannot be learned whose is the
fault for this, and there does not
appear to be any further move to
prosecute him. Mrs. Rauschert, it is
said, has been welcomed back to her
husband and children.
