NO ULTIMATUM

Paris, March 29-The military situa- ton at Danzig, where negotiations are under way for the passage through Germany of three Polish legions in tended for service with the Polish army, is explained by military experts attached to the peace commission in different manner from the explana- ton given in dispatches from Berlin.
 It is said that the German purpose appears to be to direct the movement of these troops so as to avoid every chance of friction or hostile collisions with the German populace in the re- zion to be traversed. Therefore, whi.e DanZig was named in the armistice as the port of debarkation best adaptel for the purpose, it is regarded by the military authorities only proper that the entente commanders should con slider any preparation by the German auth critics looking to the use of other German ports as violation of the armistice.
 So far as is known nothing in the nature of an ultimatum has been de- livered, and it is believed that the issue will be settled satisfactorily without a breach.
 One source of delay has been found in the failure to secure quickly the shipping necessary to convey the Pol ish legions to the German port of de- barkation. It will require 30 ships of 5000 tons each and two months time

the state as. whole" says the state- ment
 MT Keller's statement in full fol- lows:
 "Our entire country is awake to the necessity for the construction of ] complete system of hard surface high ways and such highways as will sus- tain the heaviest motor traffic and cost the least for maintenance.
 illinois has voted a bond issue of S60, ,000. 900 and Pennsylvania s50,00G,- 0O0. Texas has authorized a vote of S75,000,000. Tennessee and Georgia will vote S5.O00.000. North Carolina legislature has recently authorized vote of $40,000,0O Mississippi will ask for an authoriza tion of bonds 70 the amount of s20.000 000 Florida has spent millions and is planning for the expenditure of millions of dollars more Tor high-class road construction Ev- cry Alabamian should pause and ask himself, Will Alabama remain inac- tive and make no effort whatever to build complete system of highways? Will we advertise to the world that Alabama is the only state in the union that refuses ito accept a gift of mIl- lions of dollags from the national gov ernment? Being a native born Ala bamian, educated in the state and ac- quainted with the public spirit that is to be found in every county in the state, l believe l can safely answer. No. Alabama will arise to the occa- sion and do as much or more than any other southern state in road building.
 This meeting in Birmingham is fos- tered by public-spirited men who are not in any sense engaged in any kind of political movement, but appreciate the necessity for prompt action if we are to participate in this vast sum our government is offering for highway construction. The meeting in will be more in the nature of business meeting of progressive citizens from every county in the state than a convention.
 "The state highway department most sincerely urges that unse1fish business men attend this meeting and lend every assistance in their power to perfect an organization that will ac- this great object. If anyone is in the least skeptical concerning the wisdom of this movement, it is all the more advisable that he attend this meeting and become thoroughly posted as to it's intentions and purposes.
 To accomplish the emost good we must lay aside selfish motives and stand for what we believe to be foY the best interest of the state as whole"

"Oh, Lawd! oooo-ooohh! Wait-oh wa-iti,
 Don't take me hind dem bars. Lawd Lawd,!'
 This was the repeated cries of two negro girls they were unloaded from one of the countys automobiles by dep uties at dusk yesterday afternoon The girls were carried into the jail, almost by physical force of the officers, and locked in the county boarding house. alias the Hotel Hartsfield." At every step they were forced 10 take, they seemingly attempted to cry out just d little louder than the previous time, so that when the door closed behind the last "dusky damsel'' and their names were taken, an audience of deputies, re- porters and @passers-by had gathered,
 NaSrancy was the charges made against them. One of the girls looked to be about 15 years old. the other. three years older. Bond was set at $2o0. The names given were Bernice Lowe and Mary Frances Lowe. Officers said they had been in jail several times before.

REP ARATION DISCUSSED


 Paris, March 29.-After most of the day in conference with the three pre- miers, President Wilson late this aft ernoon spent sometime in a discussion with Thomas Lamont and Norman Davis, members of Nthe supreme eco- homie council, and the financial ad- visers of the American delegation, re- garding reparations. Several formulas are under consideration and such prog ress has been made as to justify the expectation that this subject will be finally disposed of on Tuesday Or Wednesday of the coming week.
 The council of four has also given fresh consideration to the question of the Sarre valley, and it is believed the council has virtually settled upon a plan to permit Germany to retain po- litical sovereignty, while France will be given economic control of the min- eral resources in this section for a limited time, supposedly based upon 8 time allowance for the settlement of indemnity,

 .'I would, therefore thank you to bring it to the attention of the officers under you to endeavor to have thelr conduct in all cases warranted by law, in order that those charged with the enforcement of law shall not be subject to the just criticism of being violators of the law themselves, and invite their attention to the fact that in their zeal for upholding the law and experiencing those who vlo- late it, they are not warranted III dlsre- garding it's plain mandates nor are they justified in arbitrarily infringing upon the constitutional rights of citizen.
