BRITISH REPLY
CHANGES MADE
Note to Berlin Government
May be Sent Out Tonight,
London Says

LONDON, July 20-(By The As
ISOLATED Press s)-Additiona altera-
tions were made today in the text Of
the draft reply TO Grmany's repara-
ton Memorandum by the British
Cabinet. which met in the Premiers
room in the house of commons this
morning. Unless it should seem
expedient to make some eleventh
hour changes the document pro-
baby will be dispatched to the allied
and American governments tonight.
1t is understood that the suggest
ed reply contains about 1.400 words
and is up to the usual standard Of
cogency and forcefulness usually
by Lord Curzon, the Secretary for
characterizing documents prepared
Foreign affairs, and that it is marked
throughout by most moderate ana
anicable tone. There is still some
doubt as to whether the much
discussed supplementary memoran-
dunn of an explanatory nature VIII
be sent with the draft.
There is still some doubt as to
whether the much-discussed sup
Elementary memorandum of an ex-
planatory nature will be sent with
the draft. The second document
may be confined merely to the form
of a covering letter, this point TO
be settled by the Cabinet later in
the day.
Among the multiplicity of fore
casts offered the public by the
political oracles it seems safe to ac-
cept the prediction that the note
will deal with the appointment of an
international committee Of experts
to appraise Germany's assets: And
that it will suggest to Germany that
Great Britain is prepared TO ask
France to reduce the occupationary
forces to minimum so that Ger
many's industrial and mining plants
in that region shall be free to con-
tribute to the payment of repara-
sions. In return for this Germany
will be expected to countermand all
ordinances for passive resistance.

Great Britain will not offer TO can
eel the French, Italian and Belgian
debts, as suggested by some reports
This proposition never has been ols-
eussed with the allies, and even II
It had been it is considered entirely
irrelevant to the reply to Germany

Keasbev Child Dies

KEASBEY, July 20-Playing with
matches will cost the life of little
Margaret ,Klemic, the three-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Louis
Klemic of Smith street, who was
severely and painfully burned abou
the entire body, yesterday afternoon.
Doctors Edward Klein and Schaef-
fer attended the child, who died at
the home of her parents here TINS
morning.
The little tot evidently found some
matches and was in the act of max
ing a bonfire when she ignited her
clothes.
She ran screaming through hei
yard with her clothes all ablaze
Her screams attracted Steven kir'
ally and her father who were nearby.
They vainly tried to tear the clothes
from the child and they themselves
suffered painful burns about the
hands. After extinguishing the
burning clothes, the child's body was
a mass of charred skin. DR.. Edward
Klein was Immediately summoned

come the center of traffic.

According to a statement given to
the Evening News by Mayor Thomas
l.. Smith of Keyport, terminal VIII
be esta blished in that borough az
the transfer point for lines operat-
ing in all directions OF Monmouth
and Middlesex counties. Just whert
this terminal will be located Mayor
Smith did not say, but he was o1
the opinion that such termlna
would have to be established if sat
isfa service is to be renuefee
b.. the bus owners. At the present
time the Jersey Central Traction
Company maintains terminals al
Keyport and Campbelrs Junction.
One thing that looms up as cer-
tainty is that the municipalities
which are to be left without trans
portation by the abandonment OF the
trolley company. will demand as
good if not better service from the
buses than was ever given by the
trolley company. In establishing a
terminal point for the transfer OF
passengers in Keyport, 1t is believed
that this will be a step in the right
direction.
The terminal point is made neces-
sary by the fact that different bus
owners will operate on the various
line, no one owner operationg buses
over the entire territory covered by
the trolley company. Indications are
that buses between Matawan. Key
MORT and Freneau will be owned by
one company, buses between Perth
Amboy. South Amboy and keyport
owned by another company; buses
between Keansburg, Atlantic High
lands and Keyport owned by another
company and between Red Bank and
Keyport by still another company.
1t is also likely, according to Mayor
Smith that the bus operating between
Matawan and Freehold, which now
has a terminal at Matawan, will be
extended to the Keyport terminal.
Great advantage will be gained by
the public using the buses by having
the transfer terminal at Keyport, II
is said as under this system a better
schedule can be maintained for the
transfer of passengers than II the
buses were allowed to operate in a
hit or miss fashion. Under the ter
ninal system all the buses will meet
At a given point where passengers
from one route to another will be
able to change buses without walk-
ing any distance. or being delayed
waiting for the other bus to arrive
There is still considerable queH-
ton as to how bus will be able 90
operate on any kind of schedule
over the State Highway between this
city and Keyport, especially during
the heavy traffic congestion of Sat
urday and Sundays. Many are still
of the opinion that the only way
In which to meet this conditions Is
to operate buses on the tracks OF
the Jersey Central Traction Com
pany, which was the plan advanced
In this city some weel-s ago. How
ever nothing definate has been heard
from this proposition as yet.

whom General PerShlng conducted
his drive into Mexico, was shot and
killed at his home, at Canutillo,
Chihuahua state, early today. A rebel
uprising of local nature resulted in
his death.
A rise from bandit with a price
on his head to one of the dominant
figures in Mexico and a fall again
to outlawry comprises the career
of Francisco Villa a man both loved
and hated as no other has been ir
Mexico since the time of Benito
Jaurez.
Villa was born in 1858 in the little
mining town of Las Nievas, Duran
go, of peon parents. He was a but
cher until his fathers death. after
which he went to live with his
mother and sister in Western Chi
huahau. Villas first clash with the
laws of Mexico came about it Is
said when he killed a captain of one
of President Diaz's assignments who
had eloped with his sister and Pres
ldent Diaz set a price on his head.
Villas real name was Doretec
Orange.
Villa little by little during upris-
ings against the various Mexican gov
ernments gained control of more
than half of Mexico. In 1914 he had
an open break with President Car
rama. After fighting many battles
about Mexico, on March 8, 1916 he
attacked the American town of Col
umbus. N NJ and its garrison of
three troops of American Cavalry
resulting in the dispatch of United
States soldiers into Mexico.
None who saw him lead his men
into battle could doubt he was a
leader of men. When he crammed
a poems straw sombrero on the back
of his head, filled the front of his
shirt with. grenades made of eight
inch pieces of gas pipe and stick
of dynamite and yelled "Undule mu-
ehaehos" ("Hurry boysi') they fol-
lowed him eagerly, perhaps none the
less eagerly from the knowledge
that firing squad in the rear had
orders to shoot the first man who
faltered.

WASHINGTON, July 20. - The
army air service announced today
that the attempt to make daylight
to dark flight across the continent,
in which Lieutenant Russell l..
Maughan has failed twice, had been
called off for the year.
No explanation accompanied the
announcement, but it is understood
air service officials are convinc I'd
that the shortening of tn eayailable
daylight period during another in
terval of preparation would be suffi-
cient to make 1t impossible that
Lieutenant Maughan could reach his
destination at San Francisco befoce
dark.
A loss of fifteen minutes or more
in available daylight time was COM
puted as between the date of the first
and second attempts, and return Of
the ship to New York and its over
hauling for third effort would re-
quire an equal If not greater loss.
Experience in the first two flights
also demonstrated that considerable
delays must be expected because of
unfavorable winds and other wealth
err conditions in various sections, and
air service officials do not believe
the chances of success of a third at
tempt so late in the year would
justify the effort.
There appears to be no doubt In
the minds of officers, however, that
the daylight to dark flight will again
be attempted next year when mid
summer affords the greatest possible
daylight time for the experiment.

Vibration caused the minute leaks
in the oil cooler of Lieutenant Rus
sell l.. Maughan's army pursuit
plane and necessitated the abandon
ment for a second time of his at
tempt to cross the continent in
single day, according to G. S. Krebs,
manager of the United States Air
Mail Field here.
"There are several small cracks
In. the cooler, apparently the result
of the continued vibration of the
motor, during the long flight" Mr..
Krebs said this morning, after an
examination of the plane which was
forced down last night after
Vaughan had completed 1926 miles
of his trip.
sit will require about three or
four hours to repair the leak, ow-
Ing to the fact that it will be neces-
sary to remove the cooler from the
plane and solder it.
''The leak in the cooler is an
other place than that soldered at
Cheyenne yesterday" he said. THE
first leak, which delayed Vaughan
about 40 minutes, had not been re-
opened when it reached here"
The oil cooler is a honey-combed
container through which the oil
circulates under pressure and the
strain upon it during a protracted
flight, is great.
