FRANCE TOO LENIENT
WITH GERMANY

~ ERMAN opposition To the French
~ IN the Ruhr was considerably
strengthened by visit which Chaneel-

to the workers was the only way to
save the Ruhr from communist up
rising Cuno consented to try the plan
and appointed BurgOmaster Schmidt
of Dusseldorf as Ruhr dictator, with
power to ration food and fix prices.
Cuno and his cabinet then decided
not to break off diplomatic relations
with France entirely. II was said they
feared further French seizures but the
French went right on with the SELLING
Across the Rhine from Strasbourg they
occupied two junction points on the

BARLEY IS TO

Well-Known Hunterdon County Re.
publican Named For Office at
Lambertville Yesterday.
END OF LONG POLITICAL FIGHT

The naming of b. Frank Barley
as postmaster for the city Of Lam
bertville, by President Harding, yes
terday settles long drawn out fight
so far as this particular political of
flee is concerned.
Three candidates were certified as
eligible, by the examining board:
Former Postmaster james u. Mac
Kay, Chief Despatching Clerk Olive
Phillips, and Il, Frank Barley.
Mr.. Barley has long been resi-
dent Of this city, and for many years
was chairman Of the Hunterdon Co.
Republican Committee during the
days when it was a care and not Il
pleasure. There was bitter fight in
the Second Ward Of Lambertville for
county committeeman two years ago,
and Mr., Bafkley won, after being OPP
posed by many of the politicians of
the county Last fall he was not Il
candidate for the office.
Mr.. Barley served as deputy sher.
if under George f. Green, the only
Republican sheriff in decades, until
the advent Of Sheriff England. He al
so served one term on the county
board of taxation. His friends con-
graduate him on his appointment as
postmaster, and his political oppon'
ents will doubtless admit that he will
make an energetic and efficient Of.
fetal
The present postmaster, james a
Cleary, has held the place eight years
as n Democratic appointce. He has
worked diligently for the maintain
ance Of the high efficiency of th'
office with credit and honor TO him
self. His term expired last October
and Mr.. Barkley will no doubt TAXI

SAYS TURKS NOT AS BAD
AS PAINTED

COL. WILLIAM HASKELL, former
" head of the American relief work
in Russia, has added himself to the
growing number of those who do not
believe the Turks are as bad as they
have been painted for many years.
After visiting Lausanne and CONSTANT
nople he went TO Moscow, and there
told American correspondents he be-
lieves America should feed the 100000
Turks at Smyrna and Its hinterland
whose homes were demolished wilfully
by the retreating Greeks, instead Of
aiding the Greeks and Armenians who.
he says. are sitting around waiting for
America to give them their next meal.
Colonel Haskell gave the lie to stories
Of Turkish atrocities circulated In
American churches. On the contrary,
he believes that the Greeks acted like
hsrbarians.

PARENT LIKES
ATHLETIC WORK
W. R. Naylor Says That the School
Studies in Lambertville Are
Not Subserved to Sports.
NOTES ONE RECENT EXAMPLE
Lambertville, Feb. 10, 1928

Lambertville, Feb. 10, 1928
Dear EDITOR
May / ask you for little space in
your valued paper to reply to our
friend tx. Y. Us" article of the 9th
inst. in the Beacon?
As taxpayers and parents of high
school students, we are all interested
in our schools. They are being run in
an efficient manner by our superin-
tendent and teachers. 1t may be pos
sible that there are others who are
more competent to conduct our school
than those now in charge, but until
this is proven, for one, am perfect
ly willing for the present officials to
continue their commendable work.
TX. Y. z's' attack on athletics in
our schools is ridiculous. Athletics is
m important part of every efficient
public school in the country. Athlet-
les not only develops our children,
but encourages them to apply them
selves to their studies. As the father
Of two high school boys who take
part in athletes, know for fact
that they must, of necessity epply
lhemseN : TO thcA studies, or else
they are not allowed to take part in
the games Proof Of this is seen in
the last issue of your own paper. a
game was played with Princeton and
reported by your paper last week.
You will notice that the regular play
ers did not take part in that game.
This was because the regular players
were not up to par in their studies at
that particular time. The game would
have been called off, but the Princeton
protested that they would lose $3.50.
if it was. Accordingly, second"
team was made up and sent to play
the game. The game was lost by the
Lambertville boys. This proves that
rather than sacrifice the standard of
excellence demanded Of our students,
the principal preferred to lose the
game.
1t is evident that tx. Y. 4" has q
crouch For the truth will not bean
out his statements.
Sincerely,
W. r. NAYLoR.

Small Start May Make Big Ending Of the Movement Establish
The Phillips Memorial Hospital in Lambertvile What Some
People Think of the Institutions Possibilities


Since this paper has been champ,
ioning the cause of hospital in
Lambertville, there have been num-
erous offers by various individuals to
contribute toward its support, Some
of these even offered contributions
on the spot, requestig the editor to
start fund to be held for the hos
pital when it is opened. But we have
always refused 70 accept such funds,
on the ground that we were not auth.
orized to do so. Ii the Phillips Mem
orial Fund did not exist, il would be
different. But the existence of this
Phillips Fund of some S12l,000 makes
it imperative that any move for rails
ing funds must come from the fru5-
tees such as the appointment of a
committee.
But in the EDITORS mail last Mon
day was the following letter enclos.
ing $500.

achievement, | herewith enclose $500
tho same is in excess of my one-day
income.
At your discretion, but would sug-
gest that committee be elected or
appointed under the name of Com
munity, Phillips Memorial Hospital.
When completed we can look at it
and say, "That is the best days work
I ever did"

forward in this noble cause, and that

MONEY DEPOSITED
Altho we have declined TO accept
such contributions in person, there is
no way to decline the above as it is
anonymous. Accordingly the $500
was handed TO Mr. Van Hart at the
Amwell National Bank, who is also
treasurer of the Phillips Fund. His
receipt was written on the letter rs
| follows:
Received February 10, 1923. OF
Gordon Cooper the above mentioned

THE TRUE SPIRIT OF HELPFUL
NESS

1t is quite evident that the writer
Of the above letter is not wealthy
man. He says that this contribution
of five dollars is more than his usual
daily income. This is the sort of CIV
ing that counts the gift of good
will as well as money. At any rate
he has started the ball rolling. If
others will do as well, in proportion
to his or her incomt, the hospital will
be assured at an early date.
Out of all the welter of discussion
attending this hospital project, the
zone days income" plan proposed by
Rev I. J. Bensley, seems the most
logical and possible of early fulfill
ment. You do not have to wait until
formal committee has been APP
pointed in order to put this plan into
action. Logically, Community
COMMITTEES" as suggested in the let
ter above should be appointed from
the city at large by the Trustees Of
the Phillips Memorial Fund. But un-
I'll that is done, this paper will re-
ceive any contribution you win send
in. We have decided that MS long az
this original contribution has started
the ball rolling. we will help push
the good work along. Any contribute
ion received will. be acknowledged in
this paper publicly so that all may
see that moneys reach their proper
destinations All contributions will be
delivered in due and legal form to the
bank where they can draw interest
until the hospital is started.
We have all learned long ago that
"little drops Of water, little grains of
sand make the mighty ocean, etc.
] Just so will such contributions build
the institution of mercy so sorely
needed in Lambertville.
GIVES $40. FOR THE FUND
Since the above was written anoth-
/ err contribution hasa been received. II
4 il for $1,000 The name of this doner
is known. but it will not be published
until more substantial list has been
made up. This money has also been
turned over TO Amwell Bank and du-
ly credited.
LET THE GOOD WORK GO ON!
