NEW YORK, January 9-Some-
body, presumably one of Johnny Vor-
hees' prankish schoolboy companions,
inserted an advertisement in the Jersey
Journal of Jersey City to this effect:
"Wanted-Fox TERROR dogs, half
breed or thoroughbred. Also tiger
cats. John D. Voorhees,. 85 Clifford
avenue, Jersey City"
Johns father is Frank D. Voorhees,
My goodness, said one of Frank
DIS cronies, what's your Johnny
doing? Going into the dog and cat
business?"
"Whaddaya talking about?" queried
Frank d. He hadn't seen the ad.
The other fellow told him about the
ad. Frank D. said there was no
such ad in the paper. The other
chap bet him five. Frank D. said,
you're on" or words to that effect,
and. of course. lost the jack.
Well. sir, that wasn't a candle to
what was going on at the Voorhees,
house after the paper got well cir
culated. Homeless tiger cats read
the ad and came down TO the HON g
by the phalanx. The telephone rang
and it would be a tiger cat seeking
a home. Nine fox terriers called up
within an hour.
Did you put that ad in the Jersey
Journal?" Frank Voorhees, demanded
of Johnny.
Johnny, poor child, was bewildered
by the unexpected turn of events.
mo, pa" he protested, Il didn't put
any ad in. Gosh, what would l want
to put an ad like that in the paper
for?"
Honesty shone in Johnny's eyes
We'll, ! wish l knew who did -
said Mr. Voorhees,.
Well, anyhow, the point is that the
Vorheeses of No. S5 Clifford avenue,
Jersey City, don't want any fox ter
riers today--nor tiger cats either.

The scheme most favored by rail-

at once with the fear that some rail-
roads would be taken into the combi-

computed from the cost of their re-
construction. Rather they would all
come in on the basis of their value

Furthermore, the railroad counsel

representative of the railway execu-

exist independently, while working
together the various portions formed

developed into one of the strongest

BRITISH CONVERTED
BY AMERICAN PLEA
War Damage Claims Approx
eel Despite Legal Tech
nieaIity.
ny DAVID LAWRENCE,

America has won a battle of per-
-Suasion with Great Britain on the
subject of equities and rights grow
ing out of the unratified Versailles
treaty, and when the facts and texts
Of the arguments some day are dis
closed it Will be apparent that the
British came to their conclusions be-
cause they recognized the contentious
of the United States as eminently
just
Technically the British have not
admitted that the United States un-
der her treaty with Berlin enjoys the
same rights as America would have
had if the Versailles treaty had been
ratified, but the question becomes
irrelevant at the moment because the
British have accepted Americas view
as a matter of equity.
From the viewpoint of the Wash
ingtou Government, 1t matters little
what the basis of Britain's accept
ance may be so long as the result
namely acceptance-is accomplished
When the United States argues that
as a matter of equity, as well as
right, she is entitled to her share OF
the payments made by Germany, so
that claims due American citizens for
damages incurred during the war may
be settled the only important thing
Is Indl the tidlItS Shdii - PoiN
United states Il cepS All Rights.
For in agreeing 10 accept payments
as a matter of equity" the United
States in no sense abandons any
rights. Two men may get themselves
into a quarrel and even a lawsuit,
and one will insist that as matter
ut contract right payment is not
due but if the services were rendered,
or value has been received. the settle
ment is made on a basis of equity.
So also with governments. 1t would
have been absurd in the view OF
American officials, if after what the
United States did to turn the scales
OF war, the allied governments now
should say that because of legal
technicality due to the failure of
America to ratify the Versailles treaty
all the rights which were due Amer
lea under that pact had been lost.
The rights of the United States were
not derived from the Versailles treaty
In the opinion of Secretary Hughes.
but from the fact that America was
co-be1ligerent in the war.
Aenthcr Point Involved.
There also is involved another
point of international law of great
significance Can two nations make
4 treaty which deprives a third ma
tion of its rights? If Great Britain
had failed to ratify the Versailles
treaty and if Italy. Japan and France
and Belgium had done so the treaty
would have by its terms been de-
cIared effective. yet would Britain
have agreed that she thereby lost her
Evening star., 1925-01-09

rights? Few persons conversant
with the customs of treaty-making
would have blamed Great Britain If
she had insisted that her rights had
not been impaired. Indeed, under the
principle of the favored nation, one
country does not grant to another
rights which she is unwilling as a
rule to give to a third power. The
principle of equality is recognized
among sovereign nations, and no two
or three get together to interfere
With the rights of another power
without encourtering just protest.
America would have accepted the
Versailles treaty with reservations
but for controversy over the sec
ttens relating to the covenant of the
League of Nations. a device (which re-
lated 10 the enforcement of the tres ty
rather than to any of the basic grants
made by Germany to the allied and
associated powers by reason of their
partnership in receiving the assests
or Germany. America considers that
partnership still indlvisible and in
sists upon share and participation
In Germany assets.
Claims to stand Test.
SO FAR as the nature of American
Claims is concerned. they have practi
caIty all been adjudIcated by the Ger
claims commission and
VIII stand the acid test Of both law
and equity, and the payments are due
American citizens who suffered losses.
fhere can be no comparison be-
tween the method adopted in COM
putting these claims and that used
abroad in calculating reparationS.
AS for the costs of the army of occu-
patton, this, it has been agreed
before, was valid claim and should
be given priority.
So the situation today is that the
allied governments have given up
their technical attitude with refer
ence to the right of the United States
to be paid for. her claims and have
transferred their argument to the
prob EN- of equity. As long as pro-
vision is made for the payment of
American claims there will be no
here to quibble about the
mental paths through which the
European governments travel in
reaching their decision TO share the
Dawes plan payments with the United
States.

DATE SET TO HEAR
PEYSER'SCHARCES
School Board to Meet Next
Wednesday on Criticism
of J. T. Lloyd.

investigation of the charge of Capt
Julius l. Peyser that James r. Lloyd
is using his position as president of
the Board of Educa tion to advance
his business interests will be started
by the School Board at a hearing in
at o'clock, it was announced today
by Ernest Greenwood, vice president
of the board
Whether the hearing will be con-
sidered in public or behind closed
doors has not been determined, Mr.
Greenwood said. AS Capt. Peysers q
accusations were made in public, Mr..
Greenwood believes that the inquiry
should also be open, but will leave
this question entirely to the board to
decide.
Asked to Prove Charges.
Mr.. Greenwood, who will preside
over the board which will sit as a
committee of the whole during the
probe, is drafting letters to be sent
to Mr.. Lloyd and Capt. Peyser, invit-
ing them to be present.
Capt. Peyser will be requested to
bring with him evidence to substan-
tiate his charges. He also will be
told by Mr.. Greenwood that if he
withdraws the charges there will be
no need for the hearing.
Although Capt. Peyser left wash
ington for New York shortly after
the board meeting Wednesday, at
which 1t was voted to sift to the bot
tom the charges against Mr.. Lloyd,
those closely associated with him say
he has no intention of retracting his
accusations. Capt. Peyser is ex-
pected to return Monday.
Mr.. Greenwood pointed out that
he knew nothing about the nature
of the evidence. If any. which Capt.
Peyser may offer in substantiation
of his charges. AS chairman of the
committee Of the whole the boards
vice president said he would confine
his participation to presiding.
