BRUNSWICK, GEORGIA, FRIDAY MAY 4, 1923.
GERMAN OFFER
TURNED DOWN BY
FRENCH CABINET
Reply To Reparations Proposals
Short Terse Document
To Germans
TWO GROUNDS FOR
REFUSAL ARE GIVEN
Germany Made No Suggestion
Of A Guaranty And Amount
Offered Was Entirely Insuffi¬
cient.
(By Associated Press.)
Paris, May 3.—The. French reply to
the German reparations offer is a
short, terse document; the text going
forward to Brussels this evening.
It is an unequivocal refusal of
Chancellor Cuno’s proposals. Though
the nature of its contents have not
been disclosed officially, it can be as¬
serted that the note in no way takes
the form of a counter proposition.
The note declares the German note
impossible as a basis for negotia¬
tions. The note leaves no doubt re¬
garding France’s determination not
to brook mediation, but to recover her
due.
Are Too Pliable
Berlin, May 3.—Although the new
German reparations proposals are
criticised in some circles as too pli¬
able, opinion in government quarters
hold that the offer affords a starting
point for negotiations.
In referring the proposals to the
state presidents and premiers, Chan¬
cellor Cuno, it became known today,
asserted that Germany is ready to
“end the present period of destru¬
ction, but is also ready to hold out to
the last gasp, which would mean
death to any reparations.”
“We are ready for this,” he con¬
tinued, “because we know that if our
proposal is not accepted as a basis of
negotiation, the other side is not aim¬
ing at reparations but at annexation
or destruction. The world hitherto
has looked on at this quarrel as a
spectacle, without particular interest
in itself. We once again put to it
the question: ‘Does it want peace, or
a continuanoe of a conflict \#hich
may lead to unimaginable events?’ It
is for the world to speak.” Herr
Cuno pointed out that payment, of
thirty billion gold marks woulij mean
a yearly expenditure of 1,800,000,-i
gold marks.
-
Arrest of Dr. von Boehlen
Berlin, May 3.—The arrest of Dr.
Krupp von Boehlen at a time when
Germany’s reparations proposals
were being forwarded “was no acci
dent,” declares the Vossisehe Zeitung,
which sees in the incident a French
maneuver for propaganda purposes
abroad.
The French desire to “whip up pas
sions now in Germany in announcing
her position in the world,” the news¬
paper asserts. “This arrest and this
trial are to serve for prapaganda, and
the German defense is to be driven
into the role of an attack. This hocus
poc-us will vanish before the .pressure
of facts.”
The Tageblatt refers to the pro
ceudre against Dr. von Boehlen as “a
flimsily disguised maneuver” where¬
by the French are probably trying to
show that “the iRuhr invasion is di¬
rected only against capitalists, not
against laborers.”
Directors Sentenced
Essen, May 3.—Two directors of
the Heinrichs Mine & Machine Works
at Hatlingen have been sentenced by
a French courtmartial to serve five
years in prison and to pay fines
amounting to 250,000,000 marks.
The directors whose names are
Jaeger and Zoellner, were charged
among other things with having
caused the sirens of their plant to
sound when occupation troops and
officials appeared on the property,
thus rallying an assembly of work¬
ers which endangered the lives of the
visiting authorities.
Not a Political Move
Dusseldorg, May 3—The assertions
of German newspapers in this region
that the arrest of Dr. Krupp von
Boehlen was a political move by the
French on the eve of the dispatch of
the new German reparation note, is
denied at French headquarters. The
French say the arrest is absolutely
without political significance.

There were a number of important
matters taken up for consideration,
among them the adoption of new
rules to meet the changed conditions
since the present regulations have
been in effect. These were material¬
ly changed and will place the local
port on a much more Satisfactory ba¬

sels.
The matter of rates was also
oughly gone into and in all probabil
ity the present rates in force will be
reduced to meet competitive ports.
The commissioners will meet again
on Saturday night to finally pass on
this matter. It was decided that
steamers calling for bunkers will be
given a a rate rate of ot approximately approximately one- one
halt of the present rate, as is done m
other South Atlantic ports.
The commissioners are determined
to place Brunswick on an equal basis
as to rates and conditions as regards
this port and the revision of both are
expected to be put into effect in June.

SCHOOL FACILITIES
Dr. Joseph S. Stewart, of the Uni¬
versity of Georgia, who arrived in
Brunswick yesterday, accompanied by
Prof. E. A. Pound, of the state de¬
partment of education, was profuse
in his praise of Glynn High school,

ing the day.
“There is no question but that
Brunswick has a wonderful school,”
declared Prof. Stewart, in speaking
of Glynn High. “The faculty will

the personnel of the faculties of

reason for Brunswick to be very
proud of her schools”-and Prof.
Pound quickly acquiesced in the esti
mate placed on the Brunswick insti
tution by Mr. Stewart.
In commenting on the new Memor¬

tors said there was not a city in Geor¬
gia the size of Brunswick that could
boast of a more magnificent building
for educational purposes.
Dr. Stewart and Prof. Pound will
spend today in Brunswick as the
guests of friends.

ADJUTANT GENERAL POPE

It is not assured that the annual

made by Adjutant General L. C.

Accompanied by Major George

several hours on the islahd with the
determination of ascertaining what
would be necessary to place the camp
in order and if it would be done ac¬
cording to the suggestions of the of¬
ficers. That, of course, remains to be
seen.
Gen. Pope stated that it was im
perative that an improved water sup

New tables will also have to be
provided throughout the camp, this
entailing an expenditure of approx

most important items that Gen. Pope
insisted would have to he remedied.
All of the jobbers and wholesale
merchants were visited by General
Pope and Major Mallette and request

FAIR TREATMENT AT

(By Associated Press.)
Lynchburg, Va., May 3.—A resolu¬
tion which ‘‘demands unconditionally
fair and unbiased treatment at the
hands of the press” was adopted last
night by Lynchburg chapter. No. 11,
Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. The
resolution, which was sent to the lo¬
cal papers by special messengers, de¬
clared that the Associated Press had
been very diligent in spreading news
unfavorable to the Klan and less dil¬
igent in handling items favorable to
the organization, and that it
graphically expounded alleged
less ness of the organization and its
membership” while _ member newspa¬
pers “devote columns to scathing com¬
ment, pointing to these examples
even before a court of justice had
determined guilt or innocence.”
“These same newspapers,” the res
°* u G° n continued, “proved to bo as
diligent in suppressing the news re¬
lating to the true findings of the court
as well as the testimony submitted
in behalf of the Klan during the
course of the trial as they were in
heralding to the public the spurious
charges.”
The resolution added that the Klan
is organized to preserve the “inalien¬
able right to continue to worship
eroachment of any foreign poten
tate.”

WATERS AFTER THAT DATE
TO COMPLY WITH LAW
Washington, Washington, May May 3.—Definite 3.—Definite de- de
ciBion has been rea <, hed bv a( l mi
tration tration officials officials cha charged rged with with ,
bition enforcement to put the
liquor ban into effect June 10, and
Secretary Hughes has been requested
to notify maritime nations that for
eign ships entering American terri¬
torial waters on and after that date
will be held to strict compliance with
the law as interpreted by the
preme Court.
The situation growing out of Mon
day's sweeping court decision, which
declared that American and foreign
ships must be “bone-dry” inside the
three-mile limit, was discussed yes
terday at a conference of
officials. Afterward announcement
was made that June 10 had been fixed
as the date for clamping down the lid,
that the Secretary of State had been
asked to advise foreign governments
of his intention, and that the treasury
was determined to enforce the law,
in its new application, impartially
and vigorously.
Some Governments May Protest
It is admitted in administration
circles that some governments
likely to protest against the court’s
interpretation of the law as an
fringement of their rights. Among
diplomats it is regarded as certain
that lengthy negotiations will ensue
between some of the governments
affected and the United States on cer¬
tain -phases of the question.
Aware of the delicacy of the situ¬
ation the treasury is expected to ex¬
ercise unusual care in drafting the
regulations which will carry the
court’s .decision into effect.
