F0CH READY TO ADVANCE IF
GERMANY DO NOT YIELD
By The United Press.


Paris, December IL Germany
must sign the protocol to the peace
treaty OF submit to further occupa-
ton of her territority by allied arms,
was believed here tonight.
The supreme council of the peace
conference agreed unanimously today
on the text of a note which was
understood to be virtually an ulti-
matum to Germany. While the text
of the note was not made public, il
was understood to state plainly
Marshall Foch's armies are ready to
advance the minute Germany finally
refuses to obey the allied demands
The note was in reply to the latest
communication from Baron Kurt Won
Lersner, head of the German mission
now in Paris, to negotiate with the
allies upon terms for making effective
the peace treaty. 1t will be deliver
ed to Won Lersner personally by
Paul Dutesta, secretary of the peace
conference
The peace conference nas decided
in the opinion of some Observers here
that the time for argument has pass
ed. Germany must accede to the
allied demands or see the remainder
of her territory under allied military
control, they believed.
AT the end of day filled with the
most far-reaching potentialities, these
developments stood forth:
Marshall Torch, following a confer
ence with Field Marshal Wilson OF
Great Britain, had prepared plans
for military advance into Germany
The plans were understood to in
clude triple invasion by British
Belgian, French and possibly Amer
lean troops.
The French government was re-
ported to be considering mobilization
of its aviation sections and the young
er classes of demobilized infantry
Allied Troops Massed
German dispatches reported allied
troops were being massed at stra-
tegic pionts along the Rhine prepared
to advance towards Berlin if neces.
sary.
Field Marshal Wilson. at his con.
ference with Marshal Foch yester-
day, was reported to have offered the
cooperation of the British fleet Il
the advance is undertaken.
The Matin reported movement Of
French Artillery along the right
bank of tn Rhine, declaring numer.
ouous guns had already crossed the
the Kehl bridge.
The British government spokes
man, Andrew Bonar Law, in speech
at Glasgow, declared the allies will
use force to make the peace treaty
effective if necessary.
The press both in London anC
Paris, forecast drastic allied actor
If Germany refuses to accept the
protocol
In London special cabinet meeting
was called for Monday to hear Fielt
Marshall Wilson's report on the pro-
posed military measure if Germany
refuses to accede to the allied de.
mand.
There was a decided tendency il
both in London and Paris to blame
part of Germany's belligerant at
titude upon the failure of the United
States to accept the peace treaty
The senate action, in the opinion o.
many, has led Germany to believe
she may be able to secure moderation
of the admittedly harsh terms.

The Pageant

The pageant which was presented
in the Atlanta Auditorium was writ
ten by Mrs. Alice H. Ware and was
interpreted by members of the stu
dent body of the Atlanta university.
The pageant entitled 1.-THE Open
Door" was first presented at the
jubilee services in the university
chapel.
1T portrayed the ravage of At
RIGA, the deportation of slaves, their
subsequent hard history. the beau
tiful hope and faith in better day
to come, while yet there was no
CLEAN of it, the burst of freedom,
the temptation to ease and idleness,
the logged determination to forge
ahead, the faithful and loving SER
vice rendered to the needy, the sun
beams of joy and gladness scattered
in dark and waste places and finally
the wide-open door of opportunity
thronged by coming generations who
in turn go out to bless the world.
All of that with appropriate Negro
music bringing out every phase of
this race history, made great
throng of spectators feel and respond
to this dramatic presentation of Ne
gro life history.
\ The Atlanta Constitution says in
speaking Of this production, mo
play nor pageant could more dra-
matically express the place of the
Colored citizens in the life of the
nation today, than that which took
place the other night in the Atlanta
audiences assembled by the Georgia
Auditorium-Armory, when in the
Memorial commission to do honor
to the soldiers and sailors who had
died in France, there were seated
in place of honor the relatives of the
Negro men who died in service to
the country, as well as the relatives
of the white men who had died in
the service.
These relatives sat on the right
side in the body of the auditorium,
rived from the Fort Mcpherson mil
itary hospital, the Colored wounded
men received the same ovation from
the vast audience when they entered
that the white soldiers received.
When the chorus of more than
five hundred voices pealed forth in
the opening notes to the hymn,
Nearer, My God, to Thee" and the
audiance were asked to join in, the
minor note in the Negro voice could
be heard in the universal expression
of loving sympathy which pealed
forth, and the Colored soldiers, as
we'll as their white brothers, were
remembered in Georgias great heart
beat in memory of her more than
1900 men who died in service to their
country.
When the orator of the occasion
addressed the fathers and mothers
his eyes wandered alphabetically
to the parents of both races, and
to the ministers who pronounced the
benediction extended his hands over
all assembled before him, and when
Georgia builds her great monument
to the heroes of the European war,
on the walls of the interior will be
carried the names in stone of every
Colored soldier who made the SUI
preme sacrifice as well as every
white soldier.

The Plant Today

The institution today represents
one of the most substantial educa-
tional plants in the south. with ample
grounds well put up, permanent
buildings adequately equipped, and
under the masterful direction of the
present president. Edward T. Ware,
son of the first president, Edmond
Ware.
Whatever may be the forces back
of the institution in the earlier days
or now, and whatever the number of
able men and women teachers who
have been in the institutions. the
people of this community who know
the Atlanta University in its work AMI
direction can testify that the success
Of it in their minds lies in the great
spirit of the Ware family, which has
been identified with the Atlanta uni
versity since its earliest days. Like
the elder Ware, President Ware OF
today is man of the greatest mis-
sionary spirits this nation has pro-
duced, whether for service in this
or foreign lands.
One hears much of people of con-
secratetd spirit-men who are good
and noble and self-sacrificing, but
Edward T. Ware has lived these
qualities. He is an eloquent ex-
preston of the consecrated spirit
that works as one of the great 81
lent forces of the state and the COM
munity.

We, the undersigned citizens of
Lowndes county, State of Missis-

who is now serving an eight 80
year term in the State penitentiary,

of the Circuit Court of Lowndes
County, State of Mississippi, Tom
King, negro man of family, was
charged, tried and convicted of as
sault with intent to kill and muir
der Mary King, his wife. 1t was the
contention of the defendant that
and while enraged over this fact,
his wife had beel unfaithful to him,
he cut her severly with a knife.

a pardon and that he be restored to
his liberty.
