Cost of Rhine Army.

Officials Of the American govern
ment are unperturbed by reports from
Paris that the allied governments are
inclined to challenge this country's
claims on account of the Fshineland
occupation. The Paris report is that
the allies believe the United States
should look directly to Germany for
payment and should not expect to re-
ceive any part of the sums already
paid over to the renrations commits
sion. S.Ich a position would be SO
uHtcna ble that the State Department
refuses TO believe the allied govern
ments have ever given it serious con-
sideration.
Under the treaty OF Versailles the
cost Of the Rhineland occupation was
made first charge against Germany,
taking precedence over all claims for
reparations. 1t was at the urgent in
sistence of the allies that an American
army was left on the Rhine, and there
never was any thought that the cost
of maintaining il there was not on
exactly the same footing as the cost
of maintaining British, French and
Belgian armies. The only difference
was that these countries were in
urgent need of ready cash, while the
United States was not. SO il was per
mitted without protest on our part
that as Germany made cash payments
the money was divided among the al
lies, the United States being willing
to wait while for what was justly
its due The total assessment against
costs Of occupation is about three and
a half billion gold marks. Of which
amount approximately one billion gold
marks is due the United States. The
amount paid by Germany under the
treaty is in the neighborhood of
seven billion gold marks. Of which
slightly less than two billion gold
marks has been in cash and the rest
in kind. German payments. therefore,
are double the cost of occupation, and.
under the terms Of the treaty, the cost
Of occupation should have been salts
fed before there was payment on
other claims. The only reason this
was not done was because the United
States was willing to wait until the
more pressing needs Of the allies were
served.
While actual cash payments have
not equaled the total cost Of occupa-
ton. the allies have received goods
which were the same to them as cash.
and there is no possible ground upon
which they could dispute the right
row of this country to receive the
billion gold marks due il. For the
allies to deny this right would be an
unthinkable reputation of an ex-
penditure made at their urging, and as
the money necessary to cover the
obligation has been laid over TO them
il would amount TO a breach Of trust.
In view Of these facts, this govern
ment cannot. of course. believe there
is any thought on the part Of the
allies OF denying that the money is
justly due US. The only point to be
considered is as to the form III which
payment can be made us without url~
due hardships to our friends in Europe.

CAPITAL KEYNOTES

| "Filied milk" Is adulterated milk

and appearance are identical with pure

ter fat, and without which the human
body soon becomes afiicted with ner-
vous diseases and eventually dies.
Until a few years ago nobody knew
! anything about vitamins. but the ef-
/ feet Of their absence from food was
! one Of the greatest mysteries of
1 physiology. Now psychologists agree.
with no dissenting voice, that without
Eitamins in food, scurvy, beri-beri "a
disease Of the nerves). the ricketts,
and several other diseases result.
Mice fed ration without vitamins
die within fifty days.
| The butter fat of whole milk is very
! rich in vitamins. while the fat of
| cocoanuts and OF cottonseed oil is
: without any. Milk is perfect
food" but adulterated milk, without
vitamins, is dangerous. especially to
. babies. Cows whole milk contains
from three TO FIVE pounds OF butter
! fat per 100 pounds of milk. and that
butter fat is worth from $50 to $3.50
! on the market as butter From the
filled milk all the butter fat is re-
| placed with cocoanut or cottonseed
; oil fat, worth IL TO Is cents a pound.
This is sold as condensed or evapo-
I rated milk. The word milk" does not
! appear on the cans, but some fanci-
! ful name Is used to avoid prosecution
under the pure food law.
Tho vttamins are not produced by
the COW. but are in tho feed consumed
by the COW. and they are secreted In
| the milk. In the same way the baby
must depend for its vftamins upon
what its mother eats. for she, too,
gets her vitamins from what she
eats while she nurses the child.

SOUTH AMBOY, Sept. THE
sight of the flames coming from the
dock and the box cars ablaze with
powder shortly after Z o'clock last
night set the people of this place
into a frantic condition.
Fear of repetition of the Morgan
explosion gripped the residents and
brought considerable turmoil among
the men, women and children. The
hospitals, police stations and other
institutions were swarmed with per-
sonal callers as wire communica-
tions throughout the city was almost
suspended Men from the Morgan
general ordnance were dispatched to
the bridge where the fire was rag
ing.
All traffic turned back when sew
eral cars were seen ablaze directly
under the railroad bridge. Hundeds
of spectators crowded about both
sides of the road while the tunnel
was enveloped with flame. Help
was given by the many who swarm
ed about the place. The Melrose
Hose Company had a first aid kit
with them and bandaged some of
the men who were not so seriously
injured. Physicians from Perth
Amboy also administered help at the
fire scene.
Railroad traffic to and from the
shore was suspended for nearly a
half an hour. Passengers alightcd
from the trains and augmented the
large crowd. Rumors had it at fiIs
that a dozen men were burned to
death and the reports circulated
freely among the spectators. 1t was
also told that masters on the boats
near the fire perished while 9th 4rs
jumped into the water to escape
being burned alive.
As the fire was checked, the vi
cinity of the fire scene was clogged
with people from all parts. 1t was
impossible to clear the road for
traffic so automobiles were dispatch

SCHOOL BOARD
RECEIVES BIDS
One Contract is Awarded
Night Schools Will be Con-
tinued this Year

Bids were received and the con-
tract awarded last night at the meet
ing of the Board of Edueation for
the water proofing of the walls of
School No. 8. The contract was
awarded to Charles Larson whose
bid was 1910. Two other bids for
Emil Ernst 81 Co., who bid S633, and
Benjamin Spivack, for 1850.
A communication received from
J. Noble Pierson & Son, concerning
the new Hall avenue school was re-
ferred to the building committee.
Application for the position of
school nurse was received from
Helen Stelter. This was referred to
the medical committee.
The use of schools Nos. 1, 2, 5, g.,
Z, 8, 9, 10, was granted to the city
as places for registering votes.
The enrolment of scholars on the
first day of school was reported at
1898.
Upon recommendation of Mrs.
Elizabeth Oliver the board authoriz-
ed the continuation of the night
school for the current year.
Upon the request of John X. Shee-
hy, the secretary was instructed to
communicate with the Board of AL
dermen relative to the transfer of
the old city stable building to the
school board. Mr.. Sheehy said he
had been informed that the former
city attorney had been instructed to
make the transfer, but his term of
office expired before the necessary
legal steps had been taken. The
matter now rests with the present
city attorney, it is believed.
The building committee was au-
thorized to have iron gates placed
at the entrance to School No. a. The
building committee was also au-
thorized to award the work of alter
ations to the boilers of School No.
6, to the lowest bidder.
David Thomas appeared before
the board and requested that local
dealers in sporting goods be per-
mitted to bid for the needs of the
schools in the athletic line, instead
of purchasing the goods direct from
the manufacturer as has been done
in the past. The committee report
ed that local dealers will be given
an opportunity to submit bids for
the various goods needed in the
future.
