WASHINGTON, April 26-The
German counter proposals regard

the state department and are under
stood to be laid before the cabinet
at special session.
Just before the cabinet met, an
nounccment was made at the state
department that the memorandum
had been received during the night,
and was under consideration by Sec
retary Hughes.
Although official comment was
withheld the impression obtained
was that the German proposals had
received a favorable impression.
Awaiting the outcome of the cab
met session, the probable course of
the United States was carefully with
held.
1t is the intention of Secretary
Hughes to study the proposals care
fully before making them public. He
will also probably take up the ques-
tions involved directly with the for
eign offices of the allied government.
it was said. rather than with their
Representatives here. in order to ex-

The secretary left his office last
night without any information of

FIND 8 TRUCKS
OVERLOADED
All Drivers Fined $50 for hav-
ing Too Heavy Loads while
Crossing the State Bridge.

Inspector H. G. Burton of the State
Highway Commission. with the as
sistance of the local police, yesterday
brought into force the recent ruling
of his department, in regard to over
loading trucks. OF nine trucks
stopped by the inspector. eight were
found to be overloaded to the extent
of from one thousand pounds to
three tcrs. and fine of $50 was i'm
posed n each case. Trucks are MAIN
ly responsible for the destruction of
roads throughout the state, it is ex-
planned. and in overlooking the
trucks, the road destruction is added
to without any additional return to
the state. to aid in defraying expens-
es for repairs.
The fines being imposed upon viol-
atCrs throughout the state, will soon
learn the truck owners to load their
trucks according to the gross weight
as listed on their registration cards.
The state inspector started work in
this city yesterday morning. and any
truck that he thought. appeared to
be overloaded, was taken to the
scale house and weighed Eight of
nine cases suspected by the inspec-
tor, were found to be violations, and
N the other case, the driver was ar
rested for having no registration.
sThe men arrested and fined for
follows; Andrew Rawlings, 1877
Fayette street; William Frensden,
240 State street; William O'Connor,
27f First street: William Jeroff,
1913 Market street: Fred j. Glasar,
Elizabeth; j. Blum. 407 State
street; Frank Sallie, 5SS Amboy
avenue, and William Bouge, 1S9
Fayette street. Stanislaw Pankie-
wicz, of this city, was fined $40 for
failing to have registration.
1t is probable that the state in
spectors will aid the police through
out the state for few days in en-
forcing this ruling, after which the
police of the various cities will be
called upon to enforce the order
The fact that signs on the state
highway bridge between this city
and South Amboy calling for vehi-
cles not to weigh more than six tons
have not attracted the attention of
many truck drivers IN this city and
vicinity, has been brought out by
the arrests of yesterday, and it is
possible that arrests for violation
of this order may result if the vio-
lations continue

PEACE RESOLUTION TAKEN
UP IN SENATE TODAY

WASHINGTON, April 26.-The
senate was expected to begin today
formal consideration of the Knox
peace resolution which was reported
yesterday by the foreign relations
committee. Both Republican and
Democratic leaders were agreed that
debate probably would occupy only
a few days. Proponents of the meas
ure were confident it would be sent
to the House before the end OF the
week.
Senator Underwood, Alabama,
Democatic leader, planned to confer
with minority members during the
day of the foreign committee and
few other Democratic senators. with
a view to mapping out course OF
action.
Meanwhile the House continued
debate on the naval appropriation
bill. Leaders have decided to post
pone action in the House on the two
peace resolutions offered yesterday
by Chairman Porter, of the foreign
affairs committee. until the senate
has disposed of the Knox proposal.
One of the Porter resolutions
would declare the war with Ger
many at an end, while the other
would make similar declaration
with regard to the state of war with
Austria. Neither provides for repeal
of the war resolution, as does the
Knox measure.
