DEADLOCK ON
FIRE CHIEF

Lambertville- Now that Fire Chief
George W. Arnett, who has headed
the Lambertville Fire Department
for twenty years, has positively de-
clined to be reelected because of i'll
health, the four fire companies are
deadlocked over the nominations of
Thomas Thorne and Elmer Docherty,
The present assistant chiefs. This is
the first time in twenty five. years
However, there is tieup every year
over the assistants. The matter will
probably be referred to the City Com
missioners, and referred back again
toi the companies. After this, one or
the other assistants will likely be
elected. However, the preponderance
of, public favor seems to be thorne.

CLEANUP WEEK

community in the State launch a
campaign for the determination of

method, adopted by the Main Line
Suburban Association, of engaging
an. inspector to seek out and elimi-
nate the breeding places of this
dangerous pest. This association,
composed of towns near Philadel-

for the purpose of promoting civic
welfare, has secured an expert who
will devote his entire time to the
work for six weeks. "a General

members of the five fire companies
of Lambertville and New Hope march
ed ina body to the home of the retir-
ing Chief, Geo. w. Arnett, and with
Charles M. Dilts, Foreman of Column

The affair was arranged as surprise
to the retiring Chief, and as the i'm

to the object of the march.

didn't have to say how glad he was to
see his old familiar firefighters- he
showed it in every line of his face and
in every twinkle of his eye. Tho suffer
ing much in the last few months, he is
remarkably vigorous of mind and still
has his gruff good-nature.
An instance of his retained vigor
was hown when foreman Dilts at

could address to him the speech of

world are you trying to do with me?
he said as he was urged to seat.
II want to talk to you;" said Dilts.
"Well go ahead and talk, and don't
make so much fuss about it," re-
piled the Chief.
In his speech, Foreman Dilts re-
viewed the work of Chief Arnett,

me years ago." said Foreman Dilts,

When he had finished, the watch
was presented in silence. The Chief
stood up slowly, seemingly overcome.
"I'm the happiest man alive" he
finally said, and his eyes filled with
tears. There was a lot of others who
had to blink to keep down their tears.

Concerning domestic matters, which
he declared of prime importance, Mr..
Harding said nothing unexpected, ex-
pressing what leaders of his party
called sound Republican doctrines. p"
He especially urged speedy, relief for
the ex-service men and the passage
of an emergency tariff bill.
The latter is already before con-
gress, the ways and means committee
of the house having reported out a
combination measure including the
farmers tariff bill which Mr.. Wilson
vetoed, an anti-dumping bill and a
new provision for the regulation Of
foreign exchange The Democrats of
the house speedily organized their OPP
position TO the measure under their
leader, Representative Kitchin of
North Carolina. Mr.. Kitchin charged
that the bill is not in the interest of
the farmers of the country, but Is
really for the purpose of swelling the
already swollen fortunes of the trusts
and spectators He declared that
It gives "to the packers trust, the
sugar trust and the wooden trust the
right and privilege to take from the
American people tia enormous suTi OF
over $775,0o0,000. increasing to thar
extent the present high cost of hv-

BY EDWARD W. PlcKARD.

President Harding, in his program
for International relations as set fortE
In his message to congress, has &c
complished the remarkable feat OF
satisfying all factions in his party, ii
the expressions of leaders In Washing
ton are to be taken as representing
the opinions of the people. The fore
cast OF this program, made week
ago, was not far astray. 1t contains,
however, plan for the acceptance OF
such terms of the Versailles treaty as
confirm Americas rights and inter
ests; in other words, the ratification
of the treaty with such reservations
and notifications as will completely
cut out the League of Nations cove
nant and secure "our absolute free
dom" from ENHANCEMENT in purely
European affairs. Just how the cove
nant, so closely interviewer into the
fabric of the treaty, can be eliminated,
is not vet apparent. In Washington
1t is said delegation might be sent
to Europe, or a conference Of the al
lies called in our national capital. 1t
is also suggested that it may be nee
essary to draw up a new treaty or
treaties to be signed by the United
States, the allies and Germany.
Any negotiations TO this end, how
ever, are to await reconsideration by
the allies of their award of the Island
of zap to Japan and their formal ac-
LODI Of AnanriaofS rights In
the disposition of all the territories
taken away from the central powers.
AT first France replied to Secretary
Hughes note on zap by suggestion
that the question be settled by the
United States and Japan, and it is
the same course, offering its good Of
fees in behalf of the American claims.
Japan wants the controversy to be in
cluded in the general negotiations to
settle all matters at issue between
this country and Japan. Neither Of
these suggestions is acceptable TO the
administration, and neither will be
considered. Mr.. Hughes position is
that the zap affair concerns the al
lies Jointly and must be settled by
them Jointly in negotiations with the
United States.
As was foreseen, the President said
he favored the adoption of the Krox
resolution ending the state of war, but
with notifications. Accordingly II
was introduced in the senate at once
with changes to suit, and plans were
made 10 push II through as soon as
the Colombian treaty is disposed of
AS 1t stands, the resolution carefully
reserves all American rights acquired
by the war, the armistice and the Yer
sailles treaty, but there is no pro-
vision for the negotiation of separ-
ate peace treaty with Germany. The
instrument also declares the state of
war with Austria ended, but no one
here thinks much about Austria these
days, except in pity for its starving
poor.

Early comment In France on the
Presidents message indicated that the
French were trying to find 1t salts
factory. They expected the flat re-
lection of the league covenant, and
many of them are not wildly enthu-
slastic over the league, anyhow. They
are elated by the expressed determine
ton that America shall stand with the
allies in holding Germany responsible
for the war and in compelling her to
make reparation to the extent Of her
ability. They still hope that Ameri-
ca will specifically promise aid to
France In case of German aggression
or of Germany's failure to pay. The
British are so occupied with their
great strike that they have not had
much to say about the message up
to the time of writing.
An interesting bit of comment
comes from Buenos Aires, where
leading paper sees only self-interest
in the future international policy OF
the United States.

AlIusion is made above to the Col
ombian treaty. This was the first
thing the senate tackled, and fight
deyelored at once. The pact is the
old one giving TO Colombia $4,000 900
for the loss Of Panama and the Canal
Zone. 1t has ALWAYS been bitterly OPP
posed as virtual Reputation of the
acts of Theodore Roosevelt when he
was President, but now it has been
modified by the omission of any ex-
preston of the governments regret
for the part played by the United
States In connection with the separa-
ton of Panama from Colombia. Pres
ident Harding has told the senate he
hopes 1t will ratify the treaty, and 1t
probably will do so. Senator Lodge
led the debate In favor of the pact,
and revealed one of the strong rea-
sons for It's adoption-the existence
of rich oil fields in Colombia which
Americans wish to develop.
Senator Kellogg of Minnesota said
the ratification OF the treaty would be
pusillanimous act, and on the
strength of a telegram and letters
from Colonel Roosevelt written In
1917, he declared 1t would make the
United States liable to international
blackmalr running into hundreds of
millions of dollars. The telegram
said:
81 know. Of course, that you are
against this Infamous Colombian
treaty. but l wish you would point
out that it makes precedent for some
successor of Wilson to pay at least as
