GERMANY. k i
j*' *
NEW ORLEANS, Jap. 31—The ex¬
acting of a heavier reparation and
war indemnity by the allies of Ger¬
many than generally expected tended
to weaken rather than strengthen thl
market today owing to tlys dissatis¬
faction it created in Germany where
it is claimed the terms will be impos¬
sible to meet. *3
A toll of $55,000,000,000 and a tax
of 12 per cent on German exports is
the penalty imposed, payable within
42 years. ',
Advices from Berlin are to effect
that the terms arc to be resisted.
However, the allies have already
agreed to make no important conces¬
sions, and if Hie reparation plan is
violated, to enforce the dictum, by
military operations, if necessary.
Therefore, while Germany may
kick in the traces, she will be obliged
to toe the mark by making the pay¬
ments demanded elsesuffer the conse¬
quences of fmfffng m territory in

The next meeting of the supreme
council of the allies will held in
London February -28th.
Meanwhile an £ ort will be made

standing with Turkey, as a means of
establishing peace with that country,

ed the Germans during the war, has
decided that there shall be no prose¬

The Barons Coppee were recently

In view of the more favorable out¬

improvement in the European politi¬
cal situation, coupled with prospects
for a drastic reduction in the cotton
acreage this year, we are disposed to
take a hopeful view of the cotton sit¬

ticipate a revival in the spot dertand

to the recent sharp rise id foreign

PLAN ADVERTISE MONROE
FORSYTH, Ga, Jan. 31.-The Bus
ine»s Mena’ Associatoin recently per¬
fected at Forsyth is expected to
a real factor in the future develop¬
ment and prosperity of Forsyth and
Monroe County, It is receiving the
hearty co-operation of business firms
of-Forsyth and regulanmonthly meet¬
ings will be held at which important
topics will' be discussed and move
ments outlined for developing thie
section. At a recent meeting of bus¬
iness men in Miacon, attended by
Paul R. Chapman, president of the
Forsyth association, the organization
was commended highly.
Many lines of business and develop¬
ment in Monroe county have not been
highly developed because of a lack
of systematic advertising and exploi¬
tation, but since the Business Mens’
Association is planning to advertise
the reaouceS of Forsyth and Monroe
county to the rest of the country it is
believed many desirable homeseekers
will flock to the county soon and out¬
side capitalists will assist in the de¬
velopment of this section.
Two of the main things of the asso¬
ciation expects to accomplish for the
agricultural advancement of the coun
ty is the arranging of a county fair
next fall and placing of an exhibit of
the county’s farm resources at the
State Fair in Macon and Southeastern
Fair in Atlanta.
