Passive Resistance
Must Stop If France
Enters Negotiations
(By AuioliUd Press.)
PARIS-—No reply to the latest German reparations
proposals was considered necessary so far as France was
oni'erned; it was stated at the Foreign Office here Mon-
^v, but if the Allies desire to improve the opporunity to
w ume the general discussion of the reparations question,
'ranee is ready.
A reply to German’s proposals by the Allies in com-
gon is held in official circles as requiring probably sev-
tra ! weeks negotiations, because of the impossibility of
their uniting in an answer until they themselves had ronte
an agreement.

railroad, the impression waa that
the court home waa In danger of
removal from Lexington. The first
act of young McWhorter, with the
kid of several other citizens, in
cluding Sam Lumpkin. W. G.
Johnson and others, was to'go to
work and have a new brick jail
built. That the county needed a
modern and more civilised prison
no one could dispute. The com-
misisonera were favorable to Lex
ington, and before the opposition
hsd time to enter a protest the
contract for the jail, now in use,
was given out. This waa a strong
point in favor of Lexington re
maining the county aite. for the
taxpayers would never consent to
have that coatly building abandon-
The next move of McWhorter
was to go to work and secure a
new court house, the present build
ing. This expense created a huwl
in certain quarters, but it did no
good and the completion of that
structure practically nailed down
the court house in Lexington, no
further talk was heard of its re
moval.
