Purely huff.

Purely Bluff.
This is purely bluff because the
foreign office has nothing to do with
bolshevism in Germany. Neither can
the allies be blamed for present con-
ditions in Germany since the present
government is wholly responsible for
trouble with the workmen. The gov
unrest saying 1t will disappear as soon
as the allies grant a favorable peace.
The fact is. Germany's Internal
troubles will no more disappear as a
result of peace than they faded when
/. was announced that allied food had
arrived. Most of the Gc~rian people
say the present government will not
last anyway, hence II II threatens to
quit if peace is not made in accord-
ance with German ideas IL will be an
excuse and nothing more.
People Want Peace.
II is safe to estimate that the ma
jority of Germans favor accepting any
peace, but the foreign office Is willing
to endanger the entire people for the
sake Of reviving Germanys independ-
ence, militarily and alphabetically.
Radicals, who would probably over
throw the government In case OF re-
fusal to accept the peace terms, are
ready to sign amp peace. and then
make the capitalists pay the war bill.
They have already developed plans TO

CLIFFORD suIT SETTLED

Anniston, August 6.-(Specfal.) )-The long standing litigation between M Cliff ford and his son, Bert Clifford. and and complications than probably any other suit arising in this county in many years, and in which many other people became interested directly and indirectly, was settled in Anniston during the week, M. Clifford purchasing the lease of his son and taking charge of the property now known as the Anniston hotel.
 The suit was begun more than three years ago when the two Cliffords each owned an undivided one-half interest in the lease upon the hotel property which has just come into the hands of the elder Clifford. The first action in the case was when Bert Clifford filed a bill ask ing the appointment of a receiver to wind up the partnership which existed | between himself and his father | NJ Clifford answered the bill and made his answer a cross bill, and also asked for the appointment of a receiver for the property. Joe Montgomery was ap- /, pointed to the receivership and took | charge of the property, conducting it until short time ago. In the meantime the Calhoun Hotel company was organ ized in the city and the hotel property was purchased from the late Robert F. Garner
 The hte Chancellor W. w whiteside representing the Calhoun Hotel company, brought ejectment proceedings against i the Cliffords the ground that they had violated that part of the contract requiring them to keep open a f1rst-class l place.
 The court enjoined the prosecution ot the ejectment suit and held that ths l time Bert Clifford sold his interest ir | the hotel lease to J. T. Gardner. Jr.
 and MT. Gardner filed "a separate peti
 tion asking that the lease be sold for z I division of proceeds between himself
 and NJ. Clifford. The court ordered th' sale according to the Gardner petition
 and the lease on the property was bough in by MT. Clifford, who has now pos session of the property. S
