Ever since the war there has been a dearth Pf homes in Athens and all during the months when real estate soar ed to untouched heights here, there was but little building In progress, especially home build ing. People seemed to prefer to pay high prices for old homes rather than go to'the trouble to build new ones.

FRENCH WOULD SIEZERUHR VALLEY It Is Probable That New Conference Will Be Held Within the Next Eight Days. LONDON—(By the Associated Press)—Adjournment of the pre miers conference Monday night for eight days in. order to avertt an open rupture between England and France over the question of Ger- «man reparations has been virtually decided upon, it was learned Mon-i day. Thes British cabinet rejected the measure of force for the Ruhr district upon which premier Poln- caire Insisted. 1 Prime Minister Bonar Law in against Germany. Poincaixe had made a demand for the occupation of the Ruhr as guarantee of German moratorium. The conference probably will Tesume its sessions in eight days in London or Paris. Meanwhile, it is Hoped that some guarantee, may be found which will satisfy the French and at the same time make military action unnecessary. It was stated In French circles that the .imminent adjournment merely was a cessation to prevent an open bleak between the Allies particularly between France and England and that there was little likehool of finding a common basis of agreement - between England and France. It was further pointed out that in spite of Precier Poincaire’s de sire to co-operate’with 1 the new British Government he has been forced largely by the political sit uation at homo to demand the Ruhr as the price of any con- session to Germany. The meeting of the premiers scheduled for Monday noon was postponed until four o’clock: It was expected in the meahtlme pri vate interviews would take placo among the premiers in an; eleventh hour .effort to save the conversa tions from what seemed this morn ing to be inevitable'postponement.

MYSTERY~SHROUDS ' SOLDIER’S DEATHfl Believed That He Was Killed December 2 and That He Was Victim of “Framq-Up” Game. COLUMlBUS, Ga. — Military au thority* were still at sea early Monday as tq the motive for the mysterious killing of, Sergean.t Wil liami Si Hart, 21, .whose body was found secluded in thick under brush at Fort Benning Sunday morning. . • -, le discovery of the body was, made about 1\ c/cTo^Tc '' yunaay “ morning by several men who .were out hunting on the reservatl6n. The remains b£4iy decomposed were found lying'in underbrush at the aviation field* just in front of- the hangar, which is not now in use. :; 'The spot where the .body was found is secluded, is not on the usual route to Columbus and about two miles from post headquarters. It is near the Chattahoochee riv er and the nearest hodse Is a half a mile distant. TWO BULLET HOLES : J IN MAN'S BODY There were two bullet holes in the body, one in the rear of the ,j head and another in the chest, both were fired from a .45 calibre pistol, according to the findings of the preliminary examining board, composed of three»army officers, who made a -rush investigation just as the body was discovered. No p-’stol was oupd near Hart nor was there a holster, on the body. The men who found the body were convinced, as was the examin ing board—on. account of the condi tion of the body that Sgt Hart had ' been dead for several days. The preliminary examining board fol lowing the hearing of several wit nesses come to the conclusion that Hfcxt met his death on December 2: < - 1..^ f-'ri Information, obtained Sunday at Benning was to the effect that Sergeant Hart had no trouble with any of the men on the reservation and the authorities were unable to explain the tragedy. I _ . TWO THEORIES ADVANCED Two theories have been advanc ed. It is asserted by some that the Sergeant was the victim of “frame up,” while there are °^ers who believe that Hart was killed during an. attempted rob- ery. The latter theory is some what blasted because of the find- in® of $8.50 in, thp pockets of Hart, while the .blouse showed no signs of an entrance into the pockets having been attempted. The dead soldier nad been at Fort Benning ',1' comparativelv short,time. It was learned at the tune he entered the a,rmy he gave h‘s home address as being Whit* Plains, N. Y.
