NEW SCHOOL
MOVE DELAYED
Nothing Further Can Be Done
Until Committee Confers
With State Head.

1t was announced at a regular
session of the Board of Education
last night that nothing more can
be done on the new school projects
until the committee appointed at
the meeting of the Board of School
Estimate last Tuesday night meets
with State Commissioner of Educa-
ton Enright. 1t was suggested
however, that Commissioner En-
right be asked to come to Perth
Amboy to confer with the members
of the committee which is composed
of the city attorney, the city comp
troller and the secretary of the
Board of Education, thus giving
him an opportunity to look over
the school situation here. The ref
erence of the matter to the state au-
thorities is due to the advice of
the city officials that there are no
means at the present time available
for the erecting of the new Hall
avenue school and the addition to
the High School which were decid-
ed upon by the Board of Educa-
tion.

question of negotiations between

Nothing is known of a reported
invitation to allies and Germans to
meet in Washington to discuss rep
arations and 1t is declared here there
is little likelihood of such procedure
being favored by the allies.
PARIS, April 8.-The allied COM
mission on reparationS today heard
the German delegation on the Ger
man viewpoint on maritime damages
for which Germany should pay. The
Germans maintain Germany should
not be obliged to pay compensation
for merchant vessels sunk while do
ing war work and under military or
naval orders.
Cargoes lost should not be paid
for If of military or naval nature.
German ships seized in allied ports
or captured, if used by governments
seizing them and sunk by Germans
should not be paid for and no conf
pensation should be paid for losses
due to maritime risks nor for ships
which disappeared unless Germany
should be proved responsible, Ger
many admitting certain disappear
ances of vessels as due to war.
The values of the cargoes SHOULD
be estimated at the price paid by the
last owners, and ships losr should be
paid for on the basis of their value
at the time lost.
