ANBOY AVENUE
AGAIN OPENED
For Local Traffic 0nIy-AIl
Detours at End-Work
is Not Completed

Amboy avenue Is open this week
end for local traffic. The announce
ment that the street is once more
passable was made by Alderman
Thomas Patten, who declared that
all detours are now at an end as far
as local traffic is concerned. AL
though the street has not been COM
pleted as yet, the top surface from
Inslee street to the intersection OF
the old road still remaining to be
laid, the cars using the street will
run over the concrete, the intention
of the contractor being to spread the
top surface over one-half of the
street at time, thus maintaining
traffic.
There is still a bad turn from the
new road to the old one at Inslee
street, only one car can pass over
this at a time. The contractor, it
is said, will make a temporary con-
neetion between the new and old
roads the first of next week so that
traffic over the thoroughfare will
be able to switch from one pave
ment to another without any trouble.
II Is likely the spreading of the top
surface on the balance of the road
will begin Monday.

ARRANGE ORGANIZATION
OF ORDER OF DEMOLAY HERE

DUSSELDORF, Germany Oct. %:
(By The Associated Press)-Food
and unemployment riots accom-
panied by pillaging, and resulting in
clashes with the authorities, are re-
ported from many towns throughout
the Ruhr. There were many casual
ties in some cases, twenty persons be-
ing killed and fifteen wounded at
Boehuem and five killed at Duisburg.
DUREN. Oct 27 (By The Associat-
ed Press) The Separatists in the
North Rhineland say that they have
successfully established their posi-
tions at x-la-Cha relle, Crefeld,
Bonn and other points. 1t is now
possible, the leaders assert, to extend
the Republican lines whenever such
operations are deemed wise and op-
perfume in the interest of the cause.
The Separatists especially claim
progress at Coblenz, where Joseph
Matthes has been installed as chief
of the provisional government. 1t Is
asserted that he has been virtually
recognized by the inter r-allied Rhine
land high commission.
There is little secrecy about the
many plans of the Separatists for the
immediate future, particularly where
action is concerned. The military
leaders talk openly to the newspaper
eorrespondents of arrangements that
have been made to storm the town
halls at Neuss, Gladbach and other
places, including Dusseldorf. These
operations, it is added may not be
started for several days Neuss. lust
across the Rhine from Dusseldorf
must be brought into line before the
latter city is republicanzed.
The Republican chiefs say that
operations TO take control at Duis-
burg are under way and predict that
the Republican colors will be hoisted
over the Rathaus there today.

Unified Acceptance
PleaSeS Washington
How Far France Will Partici-
pate is Most important
Question Asked

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-Adminis-
tration officials today are awaiting
the official text of Frances accent
ance of Great Britain's invitation to
participate in an international con-
ference upon the subject of repair
ations. Only a summary of the ac-
ceptance has reached Washington as
yet and the State Department is
reluctant to make any statement
without the complete text.
For one thing, there is diver
gence of opinion concerning the
French acceptance. In some quar-
ters the summary that has been re-
ceived is interpreted as meaning
that France accepts on the basis of
the Hughes Aide Memoire to Lord
Curzon: i. e., that a body of experts
be appointed by the Reparations
Commission to act wholly in an ad-
Visory capacity in delving into Ger
many's capacity to pay and her
powers of recuperation.
In other quarters it is held that
by referring to Paragraph Z, Annex
2, of Chapter s, Treaty of Versailles,
France has definitely limited the
scope of the commissions action in
asmuch as under the Treaty of Ver-
sailles the Allies specifically have
agreed that there, shall be no scaling
of German reparations below 1872
000.000,000 gold marks without un-
animous consent of the allies-some-
thing to which it is considered very
doubtful France will ever agree.
i this Interpretation of the French
acceptance is right. and the inquiry
is to be limited by the restrictions
OF the Versailles treaty, the commits
sion would be more concerned with
ascertaining means by which Ger
many can pay rather than the ex-
tent to which she can make repara-
tions.

Freeholders Solved
Road and Finance
Problems In MiddLesex

$2,274,00 90, and in January, 1918
when the present Board took office
the per cent. bond limitation had
been exceeded and one-half of the
remaining l per cent. was spent
During 1919 the Freeholders by
special Legislative act borrowed

way the improvement OF Smith

nue., Metuchen; Main Street, Mill
town: and the Cranbury-South River
Road were constructed.
In 1920 the County was practi-
cally without any funds whatsoever
for improvements. Because of this
condition and because of the failure
of the previous Board of Freeholders
to systematic the sinking fund the
County was in desperate straights.

METHODIST CHURCH
HAS ITS PROBLEMS

Bishop Edwin Hughes of the
Methodist Episcopal church, OF
Boston, has recently stirred consid-
cradle interest among religious peo-
pie by expressing his belief that the
rules of the church in regard to
theaters, circuses, horse racing and
dancing should be revoked. The
particular part he refers to is para
graph number 280 of the church
rules, and was adopted in 1872, fifty
one years ago.
Bishop Hughes says that at the
time it was adopted, other churches
were discussing such a rule and it
looked as If it might be generally
adopted, and the Methodists took the
lead, believing that others would fol-
low But they meyer did, and there
is no prospect that they will. In
deed there is positive advantage to
them in not following, for many
devout people who wish to associate
themselves with the church, finding
this rule too drastic to meet with
their approval, join some other
church than the Methodist. He says
that thousands of people who have
been converted by the Methodists
join some other church because of
