TINE TO SPANK
PANAMA

The little republic of Panama ls
going around with chip on her Shout
der and is talking back to Uncle Sam
Secretary Hughes warned Panama
that unless she acts voluntarily in a
reasonable time the United States will
take steps TO compel her TO transfer
jurisdiction of the disputed Ccto terri
tory to Costa Rica and TO abide by the
White award. President Porras asserts
that Mr.. Hughes note has not changed
the attitude of Panama and that she
feels backed in her right in refusing
the White award" her position being
supported by the opinion of Doctor
Bustamente of the University of Ha-
vana, an authority on international
law. Porras concludes:
panama feels sure that the Ameri-
can government will cease its endeav-
ors in recommending acceptance of a
decision upon which public opinion al
ready has uttered its last word and
which has become an adjudged mat
ter Panama refused the White dect-
sion with the same right and for al
most the same reasons that the United
States government declined in 1881 TO
accept the decision of the king of the
Netherlands in boundary litigation
with Great Britain"

TAG YOUR DOGS

Lambertville City Clerk Irving L..
Smith is on the warpath for dog own
ers who fail to procure licenses for
their pets, the old ones have expired
on April 30, and new supply of tags
is melting away but little faster than
ice in January.
The city clerk says that it will be a
"dog-goned" unpleasant time for
some of the delinguents, as the police
will soon start to round up all I'M
licensed CANNES, and the owners may
also be penalized under the law.
There never has been any undue
rush for dog licenses, locally, but the
authorities are not going to be so
lanient this year as has sometimes
been the case in the past, they having
figured out that if man has to hang
a new license tag on his auto about
Jaunary LIST, he oughtn't to object to
hanging one on his dog about May LIST.

RENEW TRADE
WITH GERMANY

Now that the senate has adopted the
Knox peace resolution, it is up to some
one to devise our further procedure in
the matter of restoring our relations
with Germany. In the final debate on
the resolution Senator Lodge admitted
tie Versailles treaty could not be so
amended as 10 meet The requirements

Harding hoped, and that a new treaty

HARDING FAVORS
ARMAMENT

President Harding won the first part
of his fight for big navy, the naval
committee of the senate having re-
ported the navy bill with provisions
for funds not only for completing the
1915 building program hut also for
personnel 10000 in excess of the 1O0,-
600 proposed by the house. Besides
this. the committee refused to incor-
porate in the measure the proposal of
Senator Borah authorizing and re-
questing the President TO invite Great
Britain and Japan to a disarmament
conference in Washington. BOrah will
make a fight for his amendment on the
floor of the senate and Senator Pom
creme also has similar amendment
which he VIII introduce.
The senate committee increased the
house total of $4,000, 600 to S496, 800

WASHINGTON CROSSING
BRIDGE TO BE FREED

Summer residents of Washington
Crossing, and motorists in gener-
al will be glad to hear that the N. j.
and Pa. Free Bridge Commission has
about completed negotiations for ac-
curing the bridge at the famous
spot that marks the crossing of Wash
ington's army during the Revolution
airy War.
Jesse E. Harper, who is connected
i, with the Yardley National Bank,
and is secretary of the Taylorsville
Delaware Bridge and Washington
Crossing Delaware Bridge Co. has
communicated with the Commission
to the effect that the Commissions
offer is acceptable. However, some
delay is anticipated, according to
Trenton papers, because of the alb
sence of some of the papers affecting
the transfer are not now in possession
of the Bridge Co. Their title was ac-
quirei in 1850, and some of the old
records have not yet been located.
However, it is planed by the Com
mission to take up the matter with
Attorney General McCran.
Incidentally the Pennsylvania num-
Der Of commission members has been
increased from three to five, and it
has been provided that two additional
members shall be added to the New
Jersey delegation. Governor Edwards
has authorized Senator Heath to
name the two additional men. E.
Smith Lamson of Trenton, has al
ready been proposed. S. E. Kauf-
man,another Trentonian, is one of
those appointed less than year
ago.

BRIDGE BEING PAINTED

Lambertville = The repainting of
the New Hope Delaware Bridge, I'M
der the direction of the joint bridge
commission of New Jersey and Penn
slyvania proceeds apace, and will be
completed within a short time. The
old bridge company had it repainted
several years ago, and it is said that
this should be done every three or
four years, but the expense is consid-
able.
Many autoists are anticipating the
paving of the bridge with wooden
blocks, which would afford much
smoother and quieter travelling floor
than Ike present one of cross-planks.
A goodly number OF bridges in Penn
sylvania have been SO improved, and
several in New Jersey One of the
most notable in this section being the
Raritan River bridge at Somerville.
A call Tor the annual mesti'g of
the New Hope Delaware Bridge Co.
for Saturday afternoon made some
folks blink their eyes and wonder if
they had been dreaming that the
bridge had been free for a year and
a half. However, the company has
investments and other interests they
did not sell with the bridge. Officers
will be elected for the ensuing year,
and other business will be transacted.
