Wednesday by tho Ante/lean Cot

The boll weevil campaign which
involves the immediate raising of
a fund of 62,600.000 will have its
headquarters in Atlanta and will

Athens has begun steps to pre
vent catstrophes such as occurred
in theFCovington and Lanett, Ala.,
school fires, it was pointed out
Wednesday by Captain J. W. Bar
nett, city engineer. Captain Bar
nett declared that destruction of
the Covington and Alabama school
buildings by fires resulting in
death and injury of school children
amounted to an endorsement of the
one-story type of school building.
Two new school buildings are
under construction in Athens at
the present time. Both of these
are one-story structures. The one-
story type is more convenient to
teachers and pupils and practical
ly eliminates danger from fire.
The new school structures, how
ever, will be the only one-story
buildings in the city school system.
The Parent-Teacher association is
urging better fire protection in
the school system and the Board
of Education has a committee at
work now on improving the condi
tions. Fire drills will be held each
week in all schools instead of
every other week, as a result of
action taken by the Board of Edu
cation at its last meeting.

PARIS.—(By the Associated
[Press.)—The Cabinet Council of
French Ministers Wednesday
morning instructed Premier Poin-
caire to move in the conference
Wednesday afternoon the adoption
of the French reparations plan aa
the minimum acceptable to France.
In the event the meeting does' not
accept that plan, Premier Poin-
cairc was directed to ask the con
ference to register formally the
tack of agreement among the
Allies. The council which met un
der the chairmanship of President
Milicrand decided unanimously
that the British reparations plan
was an abandonment of the treaty
of Versailles.
The British delegates to the Al
lied conference at an informal
meeting Wednesday morning prac
tically decided to accept the
French reparations plan as a basis
for discussion provided Premier
Poincaire agreed to discuss the
British plan. In this way Prime
Minister Bonnr Law would seek
to place the burden of responsi
bility for a break up of the con
ference on the shoulders of Pre
mier Poincaire.
The atmosphere*of gloom at the
foreign office Wednesday morn
ing was as deep If not deeper than
Tuesday night, and an abrupt end
of the premiers’ conference was
freely forecast Doubt was ex
pressed that the statesmen would
ovon decide to' hold another confer
ence. ,JU, . — l—
The British plan for the solu
tion of the reparations problem is
regarded by the other conferees
as impossible and it is thought it

discussions.

vast gulf between the British
proposals and those of the French
and Italians.
The British were understood to
have proposed cancellation of
Wednesday’s plenary session in
order that the different plans
might be sent to the experts and
committees but Premier Poincaire
opposed such a step. He believed
thst the plans were so radically
different they must be debated.
There was some diplomatic cir

a compromise might be reached.

sidered that the year had been a
great success and what had been
accomplished would certainly stand
up under the fiercest criticism,
that which always comes to pub
lic officials, he aded. He thanked
all the members of council, spe
cially the two retiring members
and then announced an adjourn
ment until noon.
However, before the old coun
cil quit Mr. McLeroy expressed tils
thanks upon retiring and wished
the new administration success.
