cuIosiS Sanatorium

discussed at a public hearing called
by the Board of Freeholders in the

morrow night at 8 o'clock. For some

nearer home. 1t is hoped that ar
engagements for such n sanatorium
may be completed at this hearing.
In the notice of the he ing which
has been sent out by the Anti-Tuber-
culosis League it is urgently re-
quested that every member OF the
board of directors of the league shall
unite i'm an effort to persuade the
freeholders to appropriate fur Dis and
erect buildings desirable for a mod
ern tuberculosis hospital on the
property which was purchased in
1917 for this purpose. The land on
which the league desires the sana-
torium erected is located on the fast
line trolley and very convenient to
the Menlo Park Pennsylvania rail-
road station.

NO CUT IN PREPARATION
DUE, BRAND DECLARES

PARIS, Dec. 81 (By The Associa-
ted Press).-Premier BRAND in his
conferences with Prime Minister
Lloyd George in London has refused
firmly to consider any further re-
duction in the total amount of re-
paration due from Germany, it is
understood in official circles here.
The French premier, it was stated
today, has proposed a tax on Ger
man expectations to be collected in
the importing countries. This course
would be taken to facilitate payment
by Germany and, at the same time.
protect British industry from Ger
man competition which was repre-
scented as having become ruinous
through depreciation of the mark.
The aim would be TO equalize the
German selling prices abroad with
British prices.
