conference to be held on January 20
in the Office of the township engi-
neer
Although those at the meeting on
Saturday were not sure as to just
what is the cause of the overfiowing
of the brook, it was felt that it
might possibly be caused by the fill
ing up of Woodbridge creek, into
which the brook empties. If the
survey proves the condition of the
creek is the cause of the overflow
irg of the brook. the matter will be
taken UP with the war department.
Congressman T. Frank Appleby is
working on the Meter and, it is un-
derstood, he believes the flooding of
l1urd's brook was due to the filling
i'll of the Woodbridge creek.
The culvert under the Pennsyl-
vania railroad tracks is filled UP with
dirt and mud and this win have to
be cleaned and changed to some
extent. 1t is the plan of those at
tending the conference to do every
thing possible to relieve the condi-
tions that have caused damage to
property and streets by the over
flowing the brook.

SURVIVAL OF FITTES7

ATLANTIC CITY, Jan. S--That
the question of equally balanced

o'clock this afternoon.
The appearance OF the Germans
was considered a mere formahty, as
their arguments are well known to
the commission. The question viii
be decided, it is forecast, by the af-
frmative votes of France, Belgium
and Italy. with John Bradbury, the
British member, probably abstaining
froLa voting.
1t was uncertain whether the vote
would be taken late this evening or
tomorrow morning, this depending
upon the length of the hearing given
the Germans.
The French plans for independent
action are bound up in the commits
sion's decision, since Premier Poin-
care will use it in support of the
contemplated seizure of guarantees
in the Ruhr, declaring in the cham
Der of deputies on Thursday, it is ex-
pected, that the default entities
France to take punitive measures
against Germany under the treaty.
1t is considered probable that
Roland w. Boyden, the American
representative with the reparations
commission, viii have something to
say on the question before the final
! vote is taken.
1t is customary to call upon The
American unofficial delegates at
times when important decisions arc
to be made, and Mr.. Boyden. It is
believed, will point out that while
the default of Germany is cloar the
circumstances under which it occur
red were such as should cause the
commission to accompany its deci-
sion with a statement of the facts.
Mr.. Boyden, it is also thought,
holds the opinion that the facts or
the case show that Germany is un-
able to complete the remaining 20
Fer AesEz<0f lfsEzzf fezf1er Il
shoftage at home and that her pun
ishment, therefore, should be teH-
Iered to fit the circumstances.
Premier Poincare will inform Par
liam ent on Thursday regarding his
policy toward the Ruhr district.
This was decided upon at today'z
council of ministers.
France is going just far enough
IN action in the Ruhr 10 show Ger
many she is in earnest" it was said
in official cirvies this morning.
There was every desire on ssse
part cs France, j. was added Il
avoid any unnecessary show of force
any indication that the French
government was disposed to rely on
force alone to reach & satisfactory
agreement with Germany.
Premier Poincare does not intend
10 mobilize a single soldier in adfli-
tion to the regular forces under
arms, nor call out a single additional
railroad man to effect the operation.
1t was declared.

q. s. Plan Semi tn Paris


WASHINGTON, Jan. S-The plan
for settlement of the reparatiolls
controversy between France and
England outlined by Secretary
Hughes IN his New Haven address
has been communicated to the
French government through official
channels.
No final reply has been made BY
Paris although it was learned to-
day that preliminary answer had
been received here from the French
foreign office. 1t was said at the
state department that the proposal
was regarded stil before the
French government for decision.
1t was not stated when the Amer
lean communication was sent bot
indications were that it was trans
mitted through diplomatic chan
nels before Mr.. Hughes delivered
his address at New Haven.
1t was said authoritative1y that
the transmittal was perfectly de-
finite" in character, and it was in
dicated that it revolved about the
suggestion that international finaa-
ciers be called in to formulate
reparations payments plan.
Official comment as to the nas
ture Of the reply already received
from Paris was withheld. The
statement that the American sug-
gestion still was definitely before the
French government, however. was
interpreted to mean that the French
answer was not an unqualified re-
lection of the scheme.
Officials would not indicate
whether they had any reason to ex-
pect a further communication from
Paris prior to the actual occupation
of the Ruhr by French forces. 1t
evidently was desired in Washing
ton, however, that the American
public should understand that the
Washington government had lost no
I opportunity to present its conclu-
sions and suggestions on the repara-
tions difficulty in such fashion that
the French authorities fully UNDER
stood what had been proposed, in-
Guiding the direct intimation thar
adoption OF the American plan
might well lead the way to economic
help for Europe from the United
States.
Conversations between President
Harding, Secretary Hughes and AM
bassador Harvey with relation to tia
European situation are continninu
but at no time has any light been
thrown by officials upon the Specific
nature of these talks. There is nos
question that the American govern
ment is planning TO keep the wav
always open for America aid di4
rect or indirect. through the plan
suggested or in any other naanlier
which may appear practicable.

Ashes Are Endangered; $l0,OOO Sought

NEW YORK, Feb. TIT there Is one thing Mrs. Alwlna Ahnert is par ticular about 1t is the ashes Of her husbands. She has had a lc. of hard luck with uiI1s, anyhow. so when she found the top of the marble block in which were all that is left of Husband No. 1, John Arbareh, and No 2. George Parbs, i made her think of No. 5, Ahnert, and the empty urn he left behind in 1907. She is past 80 years old, now. She has sued the United States Crema- tory Company fer $10,O00 damages. Emanuel NJ Steiadlcr is counsel for Mrs. Ahnert.
 Ahaert, husband No 3. convinced his wife in the financial panic of 1907 that banks were unsafe, said Mir SteFndler, and built a concrete vault in the cellar of her house. Mrs. Ahnert took her money and securities out of savings banks and put all in the home vault. When she cana home Christmas evening, 1907 the vault was empty. Ahnert, said MT Steindler, has been missing since then
 Mrs Ahnert went to Fresh Pond 10 see her family ashes vault the other day She reports in her sworn complaint that she found the marble top off the marble sareopha- gus and nothing but wad of ab- sorhcnt cotton on top of the ashes of No. 1 and No. 2. The sareophagus, she declares, was not in the Colum- barla, where she had an eternal lease for it-just like a cemetery lot = but was standing under a staircase near a door-a drafty place, she calls it, where vagrant winds easily might have blown away some of No. 1 or No. g. and even perhaps have mixed both.
 The shock upset her. The guaran- tees of security for the remains of her dead had been broken, she com plains, and she did not feel safe about her own ashes Hence her demand for S10.00O damages.
