OPPOSE REPARATION PUH, PLAN8 complete ^ oR
lull! OF STATE EDITORS IN LAVONIA
Premier Says Government Is Against «
Anv New BnRu t« Rnnia,. tu. Georgia Press Association
Any New Body To Replace The
Reparations Commission
Senlia, France.—-Premier Poincare
proclaimed the French government’s
unalterable decision resolutely to
stand for the complete execution of
the Versailles Peace Treaty with the
German debt at 132,000,000..000 gold,
marks as agreed upon by the allies at
the London conference and against
any international financial committee
to replace the reparation commission.
M. Poincare said France had done
with making concessions to Germany.
She was tired of temporising with
that country. The premier's strongly
worded address, while carefully re
fraining from mentioning the speech
of Stanley Baldwin, the British prime
minister, in the house of commons,
last week, is considered as the French
government’s prelimniary answer to
the British position with regard to the
occupation of the Ruhr.
M. Poincare chose for his pro
nouncement this town, which marks
the farthest advance of the Germans
and where the latter executed hos
tages, placed civilians in the line of
the French fire and burned part of
the town in reprisal against alleged
civil resistance. The. premier based
his conclusions on France’s legal right:
under the treaty "signed by 28 na
tions and which cannot be considered
after four years as an antedeluvian
fossil."
M. Poincare professed to have no
hatred and no spirit for revenge for!
the devastation, the traces of which'
were visible from where he spoke.
‘W should like no longer to talk of
devastation or to think of It," he de
clared. "Wo should like to forget—;
even to forgive." }
France, said M. Poincare, had Been
ao better treated In reparations than'
In the concessions wrong from her
and the security denied her.
"In the reparation commission, un-
established under the treaty/* he!
said, "we are in the minority, al4
though ours is the major interest'
Nevertheless it has been sought for.
four years to relieve this commission]
®f its powers, to replace it with ln* !
ternational financial committees so as
.to attempt to coalesce against inter
ests opposed to ours."
To Canonize Elizabeth Ann Seton
Washington.—A devout woman who]

people all over the country July 1—

>f the Sisters of Charity. Another
step towards canonization of Mother

tion Monday, July 16,- and arrange
ments now are being completed for

VILLA
CAPTURED
MORE WOOD CONSUMED HERE IRAN
IN ANY OTHlR COUNTRY
The United States uses more
wood .than any o the i country. In
fact the eonsumption in this coun
try equals about two-fifths of the
eptire consumption of the world,
or, expressed in round figure?,
about .22 x /t billion cubic feet, de
clares the Forest Service, United
States Department of Agriculture.
The per capafca t consumption in
this country is 21& cubic feet, of
which 110 cubic feet, or a little
more than half, is saw timber, and
the balanoe consists of cordwood,
continues the report, which was
recently printed for public distri
bution. ! v
Including losses by fire, insects
and disease; the total drain on
the country’s forests is close to
25 million cubic feet. At the pres
ent time this country is growing
only about 6 million oubie feet.
However, according to data con
tained in the report, if the entire
forest area of the country—some
470,000,000 acres—were placed
under intensive forestry about 27
billion feet of timber could be ul
timately be produced each year.
This amount would exceed the
present drain on our forests by a
relatively small margin. X

Author Of Threatening Notes Jailed
Martinez, Calif.—Albert Sans, con
fessed author of letters threatening
Mabel Normand and Mack Sennett
and "confessing” the murder of Wil
liam Desmond Taylor, was arrested
at Bay Point near here. The police
believe they may be on the threshold,
of the solution df the famous murder
mystery surrounding the death of the
movie director, which has baffled Los
Angeles authorities. They are uncer
tain, however, whether the letters
which led to the arrest of Sans are
to be classed as the ravings of a mad
man or the product of the mind of a
man driven to desperation by a guilty
conscience.

Bumper Peanut Crop For Morgan
Madison.—With 4,000 acres of pea
nuts growing off nicely, and with
splendid weather conditions in which
to cultivate same, the Morgan county
peanut crop looks good. This being
the first year to try them here, some
doubt was exp'ressed as to the possi
bilities of the crop. The season for
planting was a little late, on account of
wet weather, but now every farmer
who planted is banking heavily on a
bumper crop. At present there is no
plant in the county to crush them, but
there will be one in operation next
season if this crop is a success. Mor
gan county growers have signed up
with the Peanut Growers’ association
and hope to benefit by this connec
tion in selling the crop.
