Dear Sir: In your report of the pro-
ceedings of the City Commissioners
last week you state among other mat
tiers that Chas. A. Norton had been
appointed to fill the vacancy in the
Board of Freeholders, and mentioned
me as being one of the applicants for
the position. On Saturday, the third
day of September last, at $50 o'clock
Mayor Smith stopped me on the street
and said: MI. Banks, it looks to me
as if there will be a vacancy in the
Board of Freeholders shortly, and it is
my intention to appoint you to the po-
sition. l want to impress upon you
the day, date and hour, as there will
be great pressure brought upon me
when the time comes to make some
other appointment, and l want to be in
a position to say l have already prom
Used to appoint you" l said to him l
had never been an officeseeker, but if
in his judgment he wanted me l would
do my utmost to give Cape May County
a business administration. 1 never
spoke to the Mayor or had any of my
friends approach him in reference to
the matter from that date until the
appointment had been made. I never
was an applicant for the office.

Mayor Smith Speaks
Club Meeting
A Club Member Advocates Shade
Trees For Wildwood

The Home Section of the WILDWOOD
Civic Club held their December social
meeting at the home of Mrs ROLAND
Corson. A very pleasant afternoon
was spent; for, while the ladies were
busy making socks for the Christmas
tree. Mayor COPYRIGHT Smith gave a
very interesting talk. He begged tne
ladies to keep right on sewing whlle
he spoke. Mayor Smith told OF ms
belief in a very bright future for Wild
wood, citing cases of new business
interests, building operations, BOARD
walk improvements, golf course, ETC.,
as proof of his prophecy.
"The ladies'" he said, might and
should have a very definite part IN
making a better Wildwood"
Shade trees for wildwood was the
suggestion of one member, which the
Mayor heartily endorsed.
In conclusion he said that all our
endeavor should be to set Wildwood
on a higher plane-one that would at
tract the finest clientele.
The club would have given the
Mayor a rising vote of appreciation,
but he hurried away taking the will
for the deed.
Tea was served and the ladies voted
this a most pleasant and profitable
afternoon.

BREAD AND COAL LAWS ARE
ADVOCATED
State Department of Weights and Mea-
Sures Urges New Power Of Super

vision Through Legislative Enact
ments.
(Trenton Bureau of the Press.)
Trenton, Dec. PA law providing
a standard weight for loaves of bread
and otherwise regulating the baking
industry and legislation to prevent
coal operators from dumping inferior
and dirty fuel on New Jersey dealers,
are urged in the annual report of the
State Department of Weights and
Measures.
The report of the department sub
mitted to Governor Edwards by F.
Wanser, head of the department, re-
cites the number of prosecutions
brought and fines collected through
the activities of the bureau during
the year.
According to the report, many COM
plants were received to the effect that
coal of poor quality was being shipped
into this state. Investigation showed
The department has no jurisdiction
over quality and the matter has been
referred to the Mackay Coal Probe
Committee, the report r~ecites.
In the matter of quantities of coal,
there was an ample field for activities
in prosecuting INSCRIPTIONS dealers.
Most frauds were perpetrated by
cellar Dealers" who buy coal from
legitimate dealers and resell it in
small lots, from a bucket to 100
pounds, the report continues.
One dealer bought coal for $12.50
a ton and peddled it for $22 a ton,
and raised this to about $26 a ton by
giving short weights. Another dealer,
claiming to be selling in ton lots,
bought a ton and delivered it in two
lots of a half-ton each, charging for
two tons of coal, the report says.
State regulations of weights OF
dealers of loaves of bread is again
advocated.
Less trouble with butchers than
ever before is reported. The business
has received careful attention from
the department in the past, and en-
forcement of federal regulations also
has helped to prevent fraudulent
weights in meats.
A review of the operations of the
department during the past ten years
gives some idea of the magnitude
of the work. Weighing and mea-
surfing equipments, such as scales,
weights, measures, barrels, bottles, and
so forth, which were tested and sealed.
totaled 3,487,232. Those condemned
came to 6,3O5. Deliveries of fuel
were reweighed to the number OF
67,663, while 579,94O packages of food
were reweighed.
There were 2,1S7 prosecutions for
violations of the law, it is reported,
while $49,47O.25 was collected in fines.

Arms Conference Seeks Agree
ment on Submarines and
Light Cruisers.
FRENCH DEMANDS THE CRUZ
British Want U-Boat Abolished In
Warfare-AlIied Supreme Council
to Call for Commission on Re-
Mobilization of Central Europe
Henry Watterson Dies.
BY EDWARD W. PIckARD

Q UBMARINES, light cruisers and
y torpedo boats occupied most OF
the attention of the conference dele
ton during much of the week. The way
the controversy, If so it may be desig-
mated, developed, is interesting. First
France asked that she be allowed to
have about $4,000 tons of capital
ships, which would give her a ratio
Of 3.5. She said she wanted to build
from five to ten battleships, though
not at once, and supported her claim
by showing how her navy had been
neglected during the war. The other
delegates could not stand for this,
and Secretary of State Hughes COM
municated directly with Premier Bri-
and, who was in London. In his
cablegram Mr.. Hughes said:
II feel that the suggestion that has
been made that France should build
ten capital ships in replacement with
a tonnage of 100000 tons or more sug-
gests a program of such magnitude as
to raise the greatest difficulties. In
fact, I regret to say that after can
vassing the matter thoroughly and
taking the best information I can OBJ
tain, 1 am compelled to conclude that
it would not be possible on this basis
to carry through the agreement"
BRAND at once sent instructions to
the delegation which permitted it to
recede from the demand concerning
capital ships and agree to the ratio of
LIS fixed by the conference, so far as
vessels Of that class are concerned.
But, for purposes of national defense,
the French asked special considera-
ton In the matter of submarines and
light cruisers. OF the former they
wished to be allowed $4,000 tons, and
of the latter 100000 tons. This, in the
aggregate. would give France an aux
Hilary naval rating of about 3.5.
BRAND said France felt she must pro-
tect her three coasts, on the Atlantic,
the North sea and the Mediterranean,
and should have plenty of light cruis-
ers because Germany is permitted to
build ships Of that type. He also in
timated that Russia might build YES
sells on the Baltic which Germany
could use against France. He yigor-
ously disclaimed any idea that there
could be hostilities between France
and Great Britain.
Great Britain still insisted on the
total abolition of the submarine in
warfare, and Mr.. Balfour asked that
a plenary session of the conference be
-qlled so that he and his fellow dele
ties could make their plea for this
public. But the British stood alone
f. this contention and it was predict
ti the conference would refuse to out
r ~ the undersea boats. However, the
cricans showed a disposition to
promise by accepting a reduction
the submarine tonnage allowed
at Britain and the United States.
:. as it stands, is 10000 tons. The
ish asked that at least 1t be cut
5000 tons. The Americans indi-
"a they might be satisfied with a
cotton maximum. If this last fig
q is agreed upon it may operate to
Guce Frances allowance, since that

ate that they had their effect on the
emotional Irish. On Thursday Michael
Collins moved that the Dali adjourn
over the holidays, reassembling on
January 3. The motion was carried,
despite the opposition of De Valera, by
a vote of II to A. At this writing the
correspondents In Dublin r predict
ing that the vote on ratification of the
pact will be exceedingly close, and a
tie vote is not improbable. De Valera
signifed his willingness to have the
matter settled by a plebiscite, and that
course may be adopted. Miss Mary
MacSwiney and other determined foes
of the treaty, asserted openly that
whether it were ratified or not, the
war in Ireland would continue, since
the Irish republic is far from dead.
The Sim Feiners last week resumed
their violent operations in County
Tyrone and County Londonderry. One
of their bands kidnapped Is men and
the special constabulary tracked them
to SPERM valley, where a battle was
fought in which six Sim Feiners were
killed and a score wounded.

WAR has broken out between the
w Far Eastern republic in Siberia
and the faction led by Merkuloff in
Vladivostok. The latter, it is alleged,
has the support of the Japanese, and
soviet Russia is sending troops and
material to help the Chita govern

remove the White Guard and other
armed units from the neutral zone

IN COMPLIANCE with the recon-
L mendation of President Harding,

passed a bill authorizing the President
to spend $2O,OO0,OO0 in the purchase
of corn, seed grain and preserved
milk for the relief of the starving
people of Russia and for spring plant
ing in areas where the seed grains
have been exhausted. In the debate
Senator Borah made a fierce attack
on the American governments Russian
policy.
1.-The Russian revolution in many
respects has been i~ndefenSible," said
Mr.. Borah, but it has resembled prac-
tically all the other great revolutions
in history. Our policy towards it has
been i~ndefensible, brutal, inhuman,
cruel, and intolerable. The United
States should recognize the existing
Russian government. Whatever we
may think about its form, it is the
government de facto and as such it
should be recognized.
1.-THE bill should be passed purely
as a measure of charity. 1t won't help
the farmers of this country. ! don't
believe we have a constitutional right
to pass it. It sets a bad precedent.
but have o the heart to oppose it.
I simply want to voice my protest
