ALLIES ACT ON
GERMAN CLAIM
ReparatiOnS Commission to
Act on Matter Alone,
1t Is Said

PARIS, Dec. 16 (By The Asso-
ciated Press)-The allied repara-
tiOns commission meeting today 10
consider the German notice OF ina
tility to pay the next two INSTALL
ments in full and requesting extern
sion of time, virtually agreed at this
mornings session that the commits
sion itself should take definite ac-
ton on the request instead OF re-
fer.ing the question to the allied
governments.
IT was announced this noon that
the commission would meet again
at D m to discuss the matter
further. ID
Dr. Mayer, the German ambassa-
dor, delivered tc Premier BRAND
personally today a copy of the Ger
man reparations note. The German
embassy announced that DR.. May
er's visit was limited to this err
rand and thar report that he had
presented a formal demand for de-
lay in the payments or for a mora
torium was unfounded.
Whether the reparations commits
sion action will take the form or
another note to Germany or the im-
mediate transmission TO the allied
powers to a statement of the facts
together with implied recommended
tions, has not been determined, but
in reparation circles it is believed
the latter course will be followed.
The allied experts, expressing
themselves on the situation, declare
Germany herself is responsible for
the situation, as the German govern
ment has failed to make any serious
attempt to balance its budget. They
declare, however. that regardless OF
Germany's responsibility the allies
and commission are faced with the
apparent inability of Germany to
pay except in one of the three ways
outlined. These methods. according
to a majority of the experts, might
lead to a more serious situation than
default the January and February
payments would bring about.

u. s. ATTORNEY GERAN
ASKED TO RESIGN

today. it was announced that he is
some property and is not expected
home until after New Years. Mr..
Geran has been in Florida since
November II. From what could be
learned from the member of the
family With whom communication
was held over the phone, the action
of the attorney general was not an
ticipated by the district attorney.
Mr.. Geran was sworn in as Unit
ed States district attorney on June
IA. 1920, to which Office he was ep-
pointed by President Woodrow Will
sen. Mr.. Geran took the place of
Joseph l.. Bodine upon the appoint
ment of Mr.. Bodine as judge of the
United States district court.
At the time of his appointment
MIR. Geran was the sheriff of Mon
mouth county, from which office he
resigned after receiving his appoint
ment as district attorney.
When appointed to the Office,
which pays $4,000 a year, Mr.. Ge-
ran said that he was glad to take
tNe appointment as it would enable
hin to get back into the legal pro-
fcssion. which he had been forced
to give up to considerable extent
while sheriff Of Monmouth county.
Recently Mr.. Geran opened a law
office in the city of Asbury Park. 1t
is likely that the request for his
resignation will come as consid-
cradle sup rise to him.

HEARING ON COUNTY
HOSPITAL December 22

treatment.
The county is in possession of
plot of ground near Menlo Park pur-
chased for such an institution and
the plans for the building are COM
plete and paid for and at the hear
ing those interested in the matter
may confer with the freeholders on
the advisability of proceeding with
the construction.
While the hospital is favored by
some, several doctors at hearing
two years ago objected TO the site,
they eontending that the ground
lays too low.
Further objections to the plan
have been made in the matter OF
comparative costs, the feeling exist
ing that the county really saved
moneyNby paying for the care of pa
tients in out of the county institu-
tions instead of erecting and main
tanning a hospital of their own.
Both sides of the question are to
thoroughly discussed and the
freeholders hope to have the matter
definitely settled.

With the sentiment continually
growing for the erection of county
hospital to combat the ravages of
tuberculosis, Director William 5.
Dey yesterday designated next
Thursday night at o'clock as the
time for a public hearing on the
subject.
Those active in the crusade against
the dreaded disease have for a long
time advocated a county institution.
as under the present system only a
limited number of patients can be
cared for and in certain cases the
time lost in awaiting admission TO
hospitals proves detrimental and
often fatal to the subjects of tuber-
culosis.
As has often been pointed out
many people might be cured while
in the incipient stage were there
some hospital nearer their homes
where they could receive treatment
while others would be in closer touch

BOOZE MOVE
BY DEMOCRATS
Have New Plan for Liquor
Program in the Coming
Legislature

TRENTON, Dec. 16.-The Demo-
have decided to offer program OF
law-making at the coming session
which will allow the state of New
Jersey to discriminate between the
sale of wnssSey and the sale of beers
and light wines, according to am
nouncement today by Senator Alex
ander Simpson, of Hudson, who is
to be the minority leader of the in
coming senate.
This decision was reached at the
conference held yesterday made up
OF senate and House Democrats re-
Gently appointed by Governor Ed
wards to prepare program on this
subject. The commission included
Senator Kays. of Sussex, and Assem-
blymen Hansen. Hudson. Lambert
of Essex, and George, of Hudson.
A series of acts are to be intro
duced making a distinction in pun
ishment between the bootlegger and
the man who makes beer and wines
"If the policy of the Democrat party
is adopted" said the statement oi
Mr.. Simpson today. 'the following
results will ensue: The Van Ness ac'
will be repealed, and the sale, manu-
facture and transporting or WINS
keys, gins, etc, which are the WORK
of bootleggers, will be dealt with as
a misdemeanor and prison otfense
At the present time, the bootleggei
is perfectly willing to run the risR
of a fine or the imprisonment ol
some dummy in the penitentiary bu'
not with equal affability face a sta
ute which would make the offense
crime"
Mr.. Simpson argued that the SUI
preme Court of New Jersey has de-
eided in the Van Ness act cases, ina
the police power of this state Is
strong enouga to adopt difteren
enforcement policy than that OF con
eress. The Democratic program does
not contemplate any attempt U
