Cfcv! An appeal has been taken by both the shipping board and the shipyard against the assessment placed on the plant by the Gloucester board of assessors. The appeal will be heard by the Cam den county board of taxation, and the decision will have an effect on the tax assessment on the shipyards in Camden and Gloucester. It will decide whether Camden or Gloucester shall collect taxes on the new building erected by the gov ernment for the construction of ships in the two cities. The shipping board had fourteen ways and several buildings built in the lower part of the main plant of the New York Shipyard on the Camden side. The Camden board of assessors assessed them to the shipyard firm, which owns the land. No appeal is to be taken on this assessment in Camden, according to a statement made by an official of the New York Shipyard. The new shipyard when finished will cost abont 510,000,000. It is located along the Delaware river in the upper end of Gloucester. The Gloucester board of assessors, when it made its survey Isst October for this year, placed an as sessment of only $475,000 on the im provements and $100,000 on machinery not yet installed. City Attorney Charles TV Letzgus. of Gloucester, contends that under n state law all improvements must be as sessed to the owner of the land unless there is a lease. There is no lease be tween the government and the ship yard firm which owns the land, but there is a contract which specifies that the shipyard firm shall look after con struction and operate the plant. The Gloucester board accordingly assessed the ?475,000 against the shipyard firm and the $100,000 against the shipping board. They intend to fight the appeal. mnA AtflM,!,. T.f9rt-1!

The Pusey 4 Jones Company, of Gloucester, has filed an appeal for a reduction on the assessment on its plant In Gloucester. The total assess ment Is nearly $2,000,000. an increase of $300,000 more than the previous . year. The company asks for a reduc tion of. 5181,000. A member ot the board of assessors said today that the assessment was agreed upon after sev eral conferences between the board and Henry G. Barstars, who was the treas urer of the company last November.

Peace Principles Bar Concessions Continued From Tage One the maintenance of the territorial status quo in article ten of the covenant of the league of nations, and provide the definite security which some European skeptics do not expect from the workings of the league. The proposul contemplates the negotiation of a series of independent conventions containing guarantees with each of the smaller states ranking with treaties covering the protection of minorities. In the case of Poland this matter is provided for in article 03 of the German treaty, and similar articles arc contemplated for insertion in the Austrian and Hugarlan treaties on be half of eastern European states. The Polish proviso slipped through without objection when the outline of the German treaty was read and ap proved, and was unchanged at the secret plenary session of the Peace Conference on the eve of the presentation of the treaty. Representatives of interested states, however, were prepared when the Aus trian treaty came before the plenary session and objected strenuously to cor irsponding clauses being included In that convention. This objection has been one of the principal causes for the postponement of the presentation of the entire treaty to the Austrians. the clauses in question being eliminated from the first installment of the pact. Small states are as yet unwilling to nccent the' clauses, even when coupled I with guarantees of territorial Integrity. . ...... ..i Financial Amendments The treaty may make some slight changes regarding the disposition of certain of the contested districts on the Belgo-Gcrman frontier. The financial clauses will be amended to give the reparations commission dis cretion to authorize Germany to raise working capital for restarting her in dustries and enable her to pay her renarations. Tne original text estab lished an absolute first charge upon German assets and revenues to meet reparations payments, which condition the reparation commission could not waive even in instances where a waiver was advisable from the Entente view point. A new text is required to cover the changes in the Polish frontier and the plebiscite in Silesia. The intimation was made yesterday for the first time that a revised draft on the Danish fron tiers is expected, indicating that the conference leaders had decided to take into consideration the objections of both Germany and Denmark to a plebi scite in the southernmost section of Schleswig. Denmark declined to receive this section because it is predominantly German. U. S. May Hold Slleslan Plebiscite The Poles have become somewhat reconciled to the proposed plebiscite in Silesia by informal assurances which they have received that American troops will, if possible, be assigned to occupy the contested and disputed area pending the vote, to assure a fair and unin timidated expression of the people's wishes. They have feared that unless allied troops, preferably American, are moved promptly into the plebiscite area, the German authorities would remain in virtual control almost up to the day of voting and would be able materially to influence the result.

He said : "I am heartily in favor of the resolu tion which was presented by Mr. Knox. It was a mistake in the first place to include the league of nations in with the peace treaty document, and this is the best time to rectify this program. The two questions should certninly be considered separately. Favors Some Sort of League "1 am in favor of a league, but not the league that was proposed nt first, nor the plan which is now before the Paris conference. It is n splendid idea, but at the present time it is conceived badly, and it is wrong to tie up the treaty with it." Mr. Longworth was also very proud of the record made by Congress during the Inst month, nnd scouted the possi bility of any serious Democratic oppo sition next year. He continued : "The Knox resolution will bring out the different factious and issues as noth ing else, nnd in the coming debate on the resolution next week we shall sec just what the coming issues are to be. It is ory possible that the league of nations question will develop into one of the leading questions, although that should not be, as it is a national and not a party, concern." President Passed "Buck" President Wilson has "passed the buck" in the prohibition measure, ac cording to Mr. Longworth. "The President has the authority to call off the wartime prohibition 'law, and it wns merely 'passing the buck' for him to refer the matter to Congress. We will take no action in the matter, and there is no doubt but that the country will become bone dry on July 1." "Congressional investigations are go ing to be forced through to the end," replied the congressman. "We are go ing to inquire thoroughly into the wastes and inefficiency which developed during the Democratic administration, and these investigations nre not going to be matters of red tape or bluff on our part, but nre going to get at the bottom of the. cases' which we take up. "I am not able to say just now whether or not any of these investiga tions will be directed at the industries around Philadelphia, such as Hog Is land, which I understand was under the fire of criticism for some time." TO INSPECT M0T0RB0ATS River Craft Must Comply With Law After July 1 Navigation inspectors In the customs service on July 1 will begin an inspec tion of all motorboats operated in navi gable waters in this district. To avoid heavy penalties all motor boats must have the following equip ment: Approved appliances for extinguishing burning gasoline; an approved life-preserver for each person on board, and n whistle, frog-horn or bell capable of producing proper signals which can be heard for at least half a mile. Two conies of "pilot rules" must be carried and in addition, proper light must be displayed at night when operating or at anchor. All motorboats must be numbered in accordance with the act of Congress of Decembei 7. 1018. Application for number plates are to be made to the collector of customs. Failure to have the boat numbered is punishable with n $10 8ne.

This condition hns been brought to the nttention of Chnirman Gaffncy, of Councils' finance committee, by the trus tees nnd the communication will be forwarded to Councils. Their appeal is prompted partly by the fact that the state Legislature has, as yet, made no appropriation nnd the next pay day for pensioners is June 2,. The state funds are combined with the city funds to meet the demands. In their letter the trustees say: "Our payroll for May was $5204 for the state and a like amount from the city. On this basis we could continue our present number of pensioners through tho summer nnd have sufficient for ad ministrative expenses, if Councils make an appropriation of 520,000.

The advisability of calling out this branch, of telegraphers to help tho commercial telegraphers, already strik ing, -probably will be taken up. Both the union leaders and the of ficials of the Postnl an Western Union Telegraph Companies reported favorably on xno serine situation today. Service, to and from Philadelphia is unhampered by the strike, the officials say, nnd strikers nre losing heart and returning to work daily. The strikers, on the other hand, sav they have effectively tied up the local wires and are receiving recruits into their ranks almost hourly. Two strikers were arrested yesterday while walking between the offices of the two companies with banners at tacking Postmaster General Burleson, federal wire controller, and advising nonstrikcrs to join the ranks of those now out. The men arrested were John Dubloff. Third street near Snyder avenue, and Rudolph Laurice, 1024 Tasker street.

''The gteut wnr which demonstrated so clearly the triumph of modern medicine in the control of acute infectious diseases, which in former years had decimated contending forces, het forth with equal clearness the great initfds chronic dis eases make in our national economics, Dr. David H. Lyman, of Connecticut, president, said today in his post-bellum message to the National Tuberculosis Association. Dr. James II. Pershing appealed to physicians of the nation to join forces in stemming the great rush to the Far West of poor persons in search of a mystical climate they expect imme diately to restore them to health. "The old heresy that climate alone holds hope has been dispelled," he pro claimed in urging the doctors of the nation to make "Don't go West" their slogan in dealing with the poor con sumptives. "The greatest hope for the future must rest in the co-operation of health authorities, national, state and local. We must realize at the outset that it is impossible to secure anything like effective co-operation from the local health officer of the old type, holding office through political favor or because of public recognition of his need for the 5100 or $200 salary which tho position carries. We have been inclined too much to speak scornfully or jestingly of state Legislatures nnd their hand ling ot health questions. We need state health councils to bring co-ordination of action and obtain the establishment of health budgets." Dr. Lyman said public health nurs i i,i,i !,. nn imni.fot n !,. in the curriculum of training schools as surgical technique. Public lecture n . courses were strongly recommended. Tuberculosis relief associations among employes growing rapidly were termed a great potential aid. No one doubts, President Lyman con tinued, that in the near future America will adopt some form of universal mili tary service so that latent power never again will give heart to nn international maurauder, "My only criticism' of this idea, he said, "is thnt we have not proposed the same training for our women also."
