Water but Few Feet from Top
of Structure-River
Banks Flooded

With the highest tide in the his
tory of the city, the state bridge be-
TWEEN here and South Amboy was
again In danger of being swept part
ly away during the storm early this
morning when the water rose to but
a few feet from the top of the struc-
ture.
Several years ago. in such storm
as visited this section last night, a
part of the state bridge for about
twenty-five feet was swept away
with the high tide and ice that was
thrust against it when the waters
began to subside. Since that time
breakers We're built On the north
side of the span and, 1t is believed,
that these helped greatly last night
and early this morning in prevent
ing similar accident, as the ice
that gathered during the recent cold
spell was thrust against them with
great force due to the heavy winds.
On tae South Amboy end of the
bridge the water flooded the mea-
dows almost to the state highway
road. and 1t was feared that the
tide would cover the stretch leading
from the span to Deegan's garage
and along the road leading to South
Amboy. Information to the effect
that the tide was going out and the
wind was changing its course was
received this morning about 0
o'clock.

OPPOSES ABANDONMENT
OF RAILROADS IN RUHR

PARIS, Feb. 20 (By The Associat-
ed Press) 1.-The French high milf
tary command opposes the abandon
ment of the Ruhr railroads to Ger
many as is provided for in the plan
OF the expert committees. The
French government has been advised
that military occupation could not
continue with security unless the
Franco-Be1gian civilian control of
communications is maintained.
French and Belgian military
forces occupied the Ruhr without
opposition from the German railway
men who transported troops, NUM-
tions and supplies freely. They fa-
cilitated the occupation of the REhr
as efficiently as they could have
done had they been moving their
own troops. but French military
opinion is that they would not do so
again and that to turn back the
railways into German hands would
make 1t impossible to easily resume a
military grip.

There can be no government with

THAT the government had been unfai

"The Veterans Bureau, whose sac

can be said of a government so bad
as that?
THE Democrats didn't debauct
the government. Through the eighi
years of woodrow Wilson's admins

Grover Cleveland was president
there was no such corruption. It re
mained for the administration w'lici
