LONDON. June 11.-Great Britain
has sent 9 strong protest to the
Soviet government 81 Russia, con-
demning the action Of the Soviet
government In permitting money to
be sent to England during the re-
cent general strike on grounds that
such funds were calculated to be
used to secure change in govern
ment and foment revolution.
The note states that Russia's at.
titude makes future negotia tons,
either political or commercial, be-
tween Great Britain and the Soviets
extremely difficult.
The text Of the note will not be
published until It has been received
IN Moscow.
In view OF the fact that the funds
which were sent from Russia and
refused by the trades union con.
gress during the general strike,
eventually reached the striking coal
miners, L Is understood that the
British government will send 5 sup

Russian interference with any

BAHLOU BACKS
DRY COURSE

Temperance and anti.alcohoIism
instruction in the public schools Is
adequately taught, is the belief Of
superintendent Of Schools Frank
w. Ballou. commenting today upon
the visit Of the special temperance
COMMITTEES of the w. C. T. U. to
him yesterday.
It may be that the public wants
even less instruction In the schools
on the subject than is at present
given, he declared, adding that at
any rate the desire of the tax
payers as to the kind and quantity
of such instruction would be the
deciding factor in actions of school
officials upon the matter. He de-
lined to comment upon the pro-
hibition question either alone or In
relation to schools, he said, until
1t becomes less controversial.
The visit Of the committee to
him yesterday is the second in
two weeks, DR.. Ballou said. On
the first visit the committee asked
for information as to what instruc-
ton on liquor and alcohol in GER
eral was being given. This in
them. Their second visit yester'
day, he said, was to offer aid IN
augmenting such teaching. The
superintendent would allow the
union to distribute their propa'
ganda, he said, but only after II
had been approved by him.

Kiwanis Offers To Celebrate In
July Fourth Celebration

Lambertville-At the Monday
evening meeting Of the Board of
Commissioners, communication was
received from the Kiwanis Club Of
fering its fullest cooperation in a
proper observance in the city for
the Fourth of July. Other organiza-
tions are expected to offer like CO.
operation, and it is anticipated that
the day will be an event in the
history of the community.
In order to enable the city to
take over the new fire alarm sys-
TEN an ordinance was introduced
providing for an appropriation of
$500 to cover the balance of the
payments now due on it. The or
dinance is published elsewhere in
this issue. The entire system was
installed by members of the fire
department at about one-half the
actual cost that would have been
demanded had it been done by a
contractor. In addition to this the
firemen raised the money for the
initial payments of over fifteen
hundred dollars, and secured notes
to cover the balance.
The present ordinance of the Com
mission provides for taking up these
notes and assuming the mainten-
ance of the system in the future
Had the system been installed by a
contractor it would have cost over
$4,000.
The York Hill paving was discus
sed, and it was pointed out that
the breaking down of the paving
laid last spring was caused by the
lack of sufficient foundation mater

surface, were not responsible for the
foundation, as that was already in.
A solution of the matter lies in the
application of cold patches to put
the surface in solid condition. This
