French Premier
Remains Firm On
Reparations, Says
In Sunday Speech
(By AsHociatdc Press.)
BRIVK, France.—Speaking at
the unveiling of a monument to
the war dead hero Sunday after
noon, Premier Poincare again
came out with the declaration
that the Treaty of Versailles set
lho amount of reparations to be
paid by Germany and his speech
did not show the slightest varia
tion from previous statements.
Tho premier said the experts’
committee-of the reparation com
mission must not be allowed to
become the indirect moans of rais
ing the question of the amount of
Germany’s debt, nor must France
be despoiled of her guarantee
prior to the total payment of
reparations.
France, M. Poincare declared,
would remain within thq frame
work of the treaty “before, during
and after ’ the work of the ex
perts’ committee.

Appeal Is Made
For Warm Clothes
The anti-tuberculosis organ
isation of the county is very
anxious to secure some warm
winter clothing for those in
the county who are needy of
warm raiment.
People who have clothes
• that will not be worn again are
requested to send them to the
Red Cross rooms in the court
house. This clothing is badly
needed now and Miss McGin-
ley, the nur.se, urges that the
good people of the city act at
once.
Sunday afternoon a little
'girl at one of the Sunday
schools was absent for the
first time since last winter
and one of h6r friends told
the teacher that she couldn’t
come because it was wet and
cold and she didn't have any
good shoes or warm clothes.
She has tuberculosis and it is
for people like this the cloth
ing is wanted.
Send your old clothes, those
that are warm and still, use

“Man of the Hour” in Rhineland Republic
HOPE REVIVED FOR
M. Poincare made no direct ref-
crencb to tho question of limita
tion of powers of the experts’
committee, which has been the
subject of much argument during
the past two or three days. In
fact, he never referred directly to
the United States, except when he
said he had made it a, point to
leave no •■oom for ambiguity on
these matters in, the interests of
France and “the allies and asso
ciate*/' '
Whenever he used the word “ca
pacity” the premier always placed
• the word “present” before it.
In his speech M. Poincare dealt
with what he called “Germany’*
brazen propaganda attempt” to
bring about Anglo-Saxon pity by
issuing illustrated leaflets show

BIRMINGHAM, All—Birming.
ham’s polico redoubled their ef
forts Monday in an attempt to
solve the city’s latest axe assault,
committed Sunday night in
downtown alley when a negro wo
man and W. T. Conway, were the
victims.
The woman died while Conway's
life is hanging in the balance.
The death of the woman brought
tho total of the murders in this
alley to seven, while fifteen
deaths have been recorded as the
result of assault# upon keepers of
small shops and members of their
families since the ok* murder
wave began.
Th-s alley‘in which the latest
murder occurred has been given
the name of "Marfler Alley” since
seven killings have taken place
there.
In the former murders police,
while securing some alight.clewa
have never been able to apprehend
tho persons responsible. Various
theories have been advanced, two
of them being that the killings
have been carried on by an organ
ised gang, thought to bo negroes,
the other theory being that the
murders have been committed by
separate parties who resort to the
axe, thinking to throw suspicion
on other persons.
Judge Sibley’s charge was short
and cdnclse as usual. The grand

room and down to business within

WASHINGTON—State Depart

Belgium bave-rtached an agree

In effect, the position of these
