In the formulation of plans to cope with the situation, two means have been indicated by officials as promising the best results. Where - the diversion into bootleg channels of liquor brought in un der diplomatic immunity might bo found to Involve any minor em ployee of an embassy or legation, it has been indicated by acting Prohibition Commissioner Jones that he would make representa tions to the diplomat in charge with a view to bringing about the employees dismissal and his subse quent prosecution under the pro hibition laws. Also there is being considered plan of voluntary co-operation by the missions whereby they might be asked to furnish the prohibition authorities with esti mates of thefr liquor requirements over a specific period which would afford a means of check against possible excessive importations.

G. Lee, WASHINGTON — (By the Asso ciated Press) — Acceptance of Henry Ford’s offer. Tor Muscle Shoal.;, provided no better offer Is available and, conditioned' on’the actual production' of nitrogen tor fertilizer at the rate of 40,000 tons a year, is recommended- in a special report made to the Farm Bureau Federation by Fred M. Baruch, wartime chairman of the war industries board. Mr. Baruch's letter, incorporat ing his views, addressed to Gray Silver. Washington representa tive of the farm committee was as follows; “Pursuant to your request I am handing you a report on the situa tion relating to the development of a nitrate plant at Muscle Shoals This report was originally prepar ed -several weeks ago. and since then has been re-called by Its au thor, Leland, than whom I think there is no man better qualified to judge. “Here Is the way it lies In my mind. It is the evident desire of all. and in that I include myself, to develop at Muscle Shoals a new source of nitrogen. This would exclude any bids or offer* that did not carry an obligation to produce and develop comcier- daily a nitrogen process. BERLIN — (By the Associated Press) — The German government has issued an appear to the nation signed by President Ebert and Chancellor Cuno urging the peo ple to renounce luxuries and ex travagances ot every kind and to.' make the greatest possible sacri fices” in view of the common need of the whole country, which In volves the very existence ot all future Germany and the liberties and rights ot the whole people.” Leading industrial and commer cial firms have Issued a similar Ruhr valley are being diverted by I appeal to employers and‘workers way of Barmen and Elberfeld.

Dr: Hardman can be designated as the Pioneer of Progress in Georgia. , He has perhaps done more than any other man for the establish ment and upbuilding of our State Agricultural College. He pressed through-, the legislature . the bill state Agricultural College, with such ' buildings ' and other im provements, with such a limited initial expenditure. And happily for Georgia, the right man to carry on and complete this great work was found t in Dr. A. M. Soule. In some future artfcle, (Turn to Page Tnree) hero i.i re trolled by local authorities would result in the return of troops and martial law.*. General Toombs said the sheriff had promised to see that order prevailed and that Mr. Skipwith stated so far as he was concerned he would do nothing to encourage disorder. More than a score of men were named by witnesses at the hear ing as participating in numerous acts of lawlessness, flogging and deportations. • , v T. Jeff Burnett, E. N.

"This can be done i^the follow ing ways: “One. By government develop ment. Except as a last resort, I am opposed to this on account of its Inherent disadvantage. “Two. By combination ot In dustry either with government co-oneration or Independently. “Three. By the Ford develop ment. This apparently Is the on ly offer that has come forward so far from a private 'source promising development along cbm mercial lines. If no more advan tageous offer should be made, the arguments against awarding the contract, to Henry Ford would not be convincing. “Without commenting upon the terms of tbe contract or consider Ing tbe adequacy ot the price, there are certain modifications or clarifications that should be made. Among these Is tbe one made on the bottom page eight in the let ter from the secretary of war, document No. 167. where the secre tary draws attention to.the tact that the language contained there in ’« susnectlhle of a construction to the effect that Mr. Ford Is per sonally hound to only see that his company enters, into the contracts required to carry out the- terms FRENCH REALIZE' SERIOUS SITUATION The French, however, aie under no illusion as to the seriousness of the situation and two more army corps- are being rushed from.

The telegraph serv ice was resumed at eight o’clock Thursday night, but the railroad strike is still effective. Reports from other Ruhr cities show that Ddtsfceldorf and Essen are the main hotbeds of trouble. A serious outbreak at Eshen was Averted only when General Fou - nier sent for Burgomaster Luther and showed him a military map of the city on which were four red circles designating tbe loca tion of the French and Belgian forces. , \ • “Tell your people they must re frain from any attack upon our troops ,or we shall open fire upon the rest of,the city,” said Gen eral Fourniqr to the hm^omaster.
