KEMAL NOT RECEIV.
ING AID EXPECTED

Evidently Kemal has not been re-
ceiving the aid he expected from the
Russian bolshevists Lenin and
Trotzky and their soviet crew are
themselves In hard straits due to the
rapid spread of famine and cholera
in Russia. They have appealed loud
ly for help, but the governments they
have so long f1outed are deaf to their
calls. Even the United States, al
ways generous In response to the walls
OF the suffering, has told the soviet
government, through a note from Sec
fetary Hoover, that any relief meas
tres would depend largely on the
treatment of the Americans held pris-
oners by the bolshevists This was re-
enforced by note from the State de-
partment formally and curtly demand
ing the release Of those prisoners, and
the soviet rulers already had been told
there would be no consideration OF
closer relations with Russia until the
Americans were set free.
The distress in Russia Is such that
Trotzky has been given dictatorial
powers to handle the situation, and
all government projects except those
for relief have been suspended.

LEGISLATIVE ACTION

President Harding and Director Gen
eral Davis of the railroad administra-
tion having worked out plan for the
relief of the railroads, the President
last week presented 1t to congress In
II message and asked for legislative
action. Briefly he urged that the War
Finance corporation be permitted by
congress to purchase about $5O0,OOO,-
600 of securities deposited with the
railroad administration as evidence of
the railroad debts to the government
the railroad administration then to ap-
ply the purchase price against claims
which the roads have against the gov
ernment, thus giving the roads funds
that they greatly need. "There is no
thought To ask congress for additional
funds" said Mr.. Harding. mo added
expense, no investment Is required on
the part Of the government; there Is
no added liability, no added tax bur-
den."
Less definite was the part of the
message asking cong ess to approve
assistance to farmers and cattle men.
But his plan here, too, rests on added
authority for the War Finance cor
poration, and later Senator Kellogg
introduced the administration bill pro-
vlding that whenever the corporation

anyhow. France abandoned her In.
tention OF sending immediate re-en-
forcements to the silesian garrison
and agreed to meeting of the inter-
allied supreme council In Paris Au-
gust 4. But she insisted the question
OF strengthening the allied forces in
the region must first be settled, and
also warned the British that any hos
tile act against the French troops or
the Poles in the disputed area would
result in the immediate occupation Of
the Ruhr basin, regardless Of allied
action.
Premier Lloyd George, on his part,
consented to a meeting Of experts to
examine into the Silesian problem, and
also conciliated the French by giving
the German government a sharp re-
buff. When France was preparing to
send more troops to Silesia, she asked
the Germans to supply the transpor-
tation. Berlin sent a note to London,
asking II the British indorsed this
demand To this Downing street re-

Mr.. Robert Hoppock, who has been
studying under Professor Walden at
New Brunswick. accompanied him on
his inspection. Mr.. Walden in letter
to the Record, suggested the coopera-
tion of the city officials be secured
in the use of the Board of Health, and
in the appointment of a committee or
individual to supervise inspections and
enforcing health regulations in having
yard and lots cleaned of pools and
cans containing water.
When Mayor Moonan was .commun-
icated with, he said the matter had
already been taken up with him and
that preparations were being made
to include swat the MOSQUITO
drive during "Clean-Up" week. The
Board of Health already has the au-
thority to force owners of lots to
clean up cans and rainbarrels where
mosquitoes are breeding.
But force should not be necessary in
securing cooperation for the safe
guarding of health. The people them
selves will benefit from the elimin-
alton of the mosquito, and they should
be the ones to swat them. Mosquitoes
do not travel far. If every resident
cleans up his own premises, these
painfully annoying and disease breed
ing pests will be eliminated.

TRENTON TIMES
COMMENTS ON
FURTHER MISSING
STATEMENT
The Following Article Indicates rhe
Seriousness of the Failure olt
Freeholders to Publish Last
Years Financial State
ment

Freeholder John j. Horn, the Re
publican member of the Hunterdon
County Board, denies that he is in
any way responsible for the failul e
to publish the financial statement for
the year 1920, long overdue, and
arousing a storm of criticism from
indignant taxpayers.
Mr.. Horn says that ne was only
elected last faY, and, therefore, not
responsible for the 1920 finances,
which critics adm is correct, but
ask why he Ices not make a state
ment of his own concerning it
= now much is being expended and
what for during the prssen: year.
They also complain that the affairs
of the board are seldom known out
side their own pale, as few people
have sufficient time to attend the
and can gather nothing but
routine conclusions from the work
done there
Voters alleged that the Democratic
members, William B. Wean and
Harry Philhower, have been urged to
issue statement, but so far have re-
fused to do so.
Independent voters of the county
who helped elect Mr.. Horn, are in
sistent that he shall fight for their
rights, and if he cannot convince the
other members of the correctness of
his stand, that he should ask for pub
tic approval, which would probably be
voiced by several hundred taxpayers
who would make it their business
to attend the freeholders' meetings
and demand action.
Future political conditions in rock
ribbed old Hunterdon will never be
what they once was" according to
voters, who are begin
ming to feel their ''oats" and haven't
yet gotten over the laugh they handed
the political bosses last +. II Ia ex-
pect to repeat for some time to come.

Rumor Famine in South

Either the public health service has
been receiving lot of false informa-
tion, or the public officials Of southern
states refuse to admit the truth. Re
Gently Surgeon General Cummings re-
ceived reports that the South is threat
ened with an epidemic Of pellagra and
resulting semi-famine, and thereup-
on President Harding called on the
public health service and the Amerl-
can Red Cross to investigate at once,
and devise measures of relief. 1t was
said the low price Of cotton, with re-
sulting shortage of money, was to
blame The two agencies got busy at
once, and at the same time In came
the protests OF the southern states. In
all cases the state health officials took
issue with the reports Of the public
health service, most Of them denying
vigorously that there was any increase
of pellagra and all denying that the
situation was serious or that a semi
famine threatened.

Having destroyed considerable
part of the Turkish nationalist army
and advanced so far that even Angora,
the nationalist capital. is threatened.
the Greeks are restoring their lines of
communication and preparing for the

pletely dissolved his forces that he will
never again be able to put an army
In the field" Apparently Kemal re-
alizes that he is being thoroughly
whipped, for he has appealed to the
government at Constantinople to in
tervene and stop the warfare How
this can be done is not clear Kemals
own government is said to be aban-
doning Angora and transferring Its
archives to Siyas.

AUTO THIEF ARRESTED
Also Charged With Passing Worth
less Check.

Lambertville-- Wednesday and
Thursday papers enormously reported
that the auto thief taken here at
Johnson's Garage was arrested by
Pennington officials. But the arrest
was made by Officer William Morse
of the Lambertville force.
On Tuesday a Buick roadster was
taken to Johnson's Garage by man
accompanied by girl and another
man. 1t was left for repairs, and the
driver, who gave his name as Geo. A.
Wilson, asked Andrew johnson, pro-
prietor of the garage, to cash check
for him for $25.
The-check was on the Centennial
National Bank, Philadelphia. Mr..
Johnson cashed the check, and later
having suspicious, he called the bank
by long distance. He was told by
officials there that they knew of no
such person as Wilson, and that he
certainly had no account there.
johnson then swore out a warrant
before Justice C. c. B. John, which
was served by Officer Morse. The girl
of the party was also arrested, but
the other man got away.
When taken before Justice John,
the man gave his name as Arthur
Wilson, instead of Geo. A. Wilson.
Asked to produce his drivers and car
license, he was found to be without
them. Officer Morse then got the
Motor Vehicle Department at Harris
burg, on the phone and asked the
owner of the car bearing a Penna.
tags, giving them the number.
The owner proved to be Martha L.
Atwell, las N. 18th. St., Philadelphia.
The man was then taken to Fleming
ton Jail by Officer Morse, and having
nothing on the girl, she was released.
At Pennington, the man gave his
name as Charles Wagner. Later he
confessed to using ficticious names,
and gave as his real name, John
O'Conners. Miss Atwell, the owner of
the car, went before Commissioner
Dill in Trenton, and filed charges
against O'Conners for the theft of the
car. The papers were served by a
Federal Marshall. Because the stolen
car was taken from one state to an
other it became Federal offense.
O'Conners is being held for the Grand
Jury.

NIGHT RIDERS
ABROAD

New Hope On Tuesday night about
eight o'clock, Gordon Cooper, editor
of this paper, was engaged in painting
canoe at his home at the Worthing-
ton place above Rabbit Run Bridge,
when four automobiles turned in at
his lane. The cars came to stop, and
Cooper was called from the shed
where he was at work. Mrs. Cooper
was present, and naturally became
apprehensive. In the darkness it was
impossible to determine the identity
of the occupants Of the cars. There
was an ominous silence on the part
of the visitors until Cooper had adj
vanced to a place beside the standing
cars. Then there was a terrific out
burst of horns, cowbells, and yells
from the occupants of the cars. Fin
ally leaving the cars, the men order
ed Cooper to ring the old farm bell
which has hung for many years at
the kitchen of the house, and former
ly used to call workers to meals. Mr..
Cooper protested that the ringing OF
the bell might arouse the neighbor-
hood and be mistaken for an alarm
of fire.
Cooper then asked to know what
was the object of the visit, and why
the demonstration. Someone in the
crowd growled back that he would
learn the object of the visit in dis
agreeable way if he didn't ring the
bell as he was ordered At this the
crowd closed in on him in threaten
ing manner. Cooper decided that per-
haps after all the ringing of the bell
might bring assistance in case the in
tent of the crowd of some fifteen or
twenty men brooded danger. Direct
ing Mrs. Cooper to keep close to him,
he proceeded to the bell and began
ringing it furiously. Immediately the
crowd started their din again,yelling
like savages and ring the cowbells
they carried.
One supposition made by Mr.. and
Mrs. Cooper was that crowd COM
posed number of drunken rowdies
who were out for a lark. Upon this
conclusion Cooper determined to call
a halt to the festivities. He figured
he and Mrs. Cooper could es-
cape thru the kitchen door into the
house where two loaded revolvers
were kept, in case the crowd began
to show fight.
At this juncture the crowd closed
in on the Coopers and dragged them
to the front of the house where load
of watermellons had been deposited,
together with handsome set of
porch chairs. The watermellons were
for feed" and the chairs were a
wedding present from members of the
Lambertville Merchants Asso. who
made up the party. A speech of pre-
sentation was made by President F.
B. Baily, to which Mr.. Cooper, who is
secretary of the Asso., responded.
Those present were VIM. H. Beatty,
Geo. B. Horner, Albert H. Matthews,
Thos. R. Hunt, Horace G. Prall, C. C..
B. John, Thos. j. Walker, L. R. Stout,
VIM. Lewis. Geo. H. Barber, Harry E.

thirteen.
