Revocation of scores of brewers
permits for the manufacture of near
beer was said by officials today TO be
under consideration by the prohibi-

with the expectation that the returns
will be just doubled those of last
year. Mrs. A. ID. Brearley, director
of the sale of the seals in the county
and Miss Marie Nielsen. secretary of
tile organization. have perfected the
campaign activities. and with the
supplemented assistance of their Of
ioI force expect to put across suc-
cessful 1922 drive for the sale OF
the seals. The entire profits go for
the care of tubercular patients in the
county and the salaries of the nurses
and other helpers.
The authorities here feel that
the extensive sale of the Christ
mas seals is spreading the gospel
of good will wherein the work is
purely TO help the unfortunate who
have contracted the disease and the
prevention of its contraction by
those who are particularly suscept-
ible. The activities have reached
the schools where an health pro-
gram is being carried out inten-
sively. On December II, in the
high school auditorium moving pic
lures of the movement will be
shown as part of IAN interesting
program that is being arranged. In
| the movie houses here, anti-tuber-
culosis films have been shown for
some time, store windows are be-
ing placarded showing statistics and
requesting the support of the pub
lie and in every possible source the
advance of the movement is being
supported.
/ The increasing possibilities of the
work. and the creasing realiza-
ton of the necessity of such activ-
| ity have convinced the authorities
! that the sales this year ought to be
| increased and the number of seals
being issued is just double that OF
1921.
The first returns in the county
have been from the Helms Snuff Co
! of Helmctta, which has promised
to purchase $50 bond.
On the county board of directors
/ of the Anti-Tuberculosis League are
many local people, including Mrs.

Miss Alma Wiederstrom. a. Clayton
/ Clark, William Fraser and DR.
Charles Thompson and the support
from Perth Amboy is looked forward
to as being the most substantial In

priced at one cent each and Will be
sold from this time until Christmas

The whole question of land arma-

well settled by the frank presenta-
ton of the case of France delivered
in Yesterdays plenary session by
Premier BRAND. The French states

definite reddJustment of lana Iorces
will be impossible in the view of
France, because of existing cond.-

question of fl rtifications on whic!

In the main, the discussions are

Naval experts of the three major
powers still were reviewing today
the highly technical questions tha'
have arisen in connection with the
American proposals of immediate re-

some details of the plan which will
require treatment before there is II
nal acceptance.
The British have pointed out the
effect on the fleet the American pro-
gram would have if the full meas

carried into execution. The plan
proposes absolute cessation of build
ing for ten years; the fixing of the
life of a battleship at twenty years

three years for construction OF the
new ship.
The twenty-year life rule is nov
ell one for other nations. Japan now
uses eight years as the life of "api-
tai ships beginning replacement
within that period after a vessel is
constructed. She has not as vel
worked out the eight-year cycle,
however, expecting with her present
building program to attain IL III
1923. Great Britain has no replace
rn-nt schedule at present. For TWO
Years prior - the war she layed
down five new nattleships year and
FIR years previously for a year. This
nrogram was what maintained her
"tTyo-power Standard now aban-
doned. 1t did not contemplate
tvYenty-year active life for the ship.
Applying the proposed American
replacement rule to the ships TO be
retained by each power under the
same program, Great Britain would
have in 1881 at the end of the ten
wear naval holiday when she might
begin replacement building, four
battleships that dated back twenty
two years to the time their keels
were laid, four going back twenty
one years and four twenty years:
! ! Her newest battleships, the Royal
Sovereign group of five, were lald
down in 1914 and completed in 1910
under war pressure. They would be
fifteen years from day of completion
and two years from the beginning OF
replacement vessels when the holi-
day ended.
One of the four British battle
cruisers to be retained, the Tiger
was laid down in 1911. She would
be ready for replacement also In
1881. The other three. the Hood
Renown and Repulse, were buil'
during the war and designed fol
action in thet North Sea. Then
value, except for the special pur-
poses they were built to serve in
the war, the prevention of German
raiders from shooting up the coas
of England, is problematical.
Applying the twenty-year life
rule and the holiday decade, to the
ships America proposes to keel
eight of the eighteen would bt
| twenty years or more from the date
their keels were laid, in 1881. Two
of them, the Delaware and th'
North Dakota. would be year pas
their allotted twenty-year stand be
fore replacement building could be
gin. They would be twenty-foul
years old from completion befor'
the ships to replace them were com
missioned. The newest American
ships, the Maryland, California
Tennessee, Idaho and Mississippi
however. still would have almost
decade each of action life left whel
the holiday ended.
In the same way in the Japanes'
retained fleet the Oldest battleship
the Settsu, was laid down in 1911
i She would have only three years o
active life left when the holida.
| ended Four others of her six bat
tleships, the Fuse, Yamashiro, lcis'
and Higua, would have from fou
to five years to go before they wer'
! scrapped or worn out and replaced
The Nagato alone would have a de
cade or more of serviceable life lef
and the four battle cruisers, tn
Kirishima. Haruna. Hi-YH an'
Kongo also would have only four o.
five years before they would b.
dropped from the lists and replaced
