REQUEST FLATLY REFUSED
By Associated Press


 Paris, June 34.--Germany today re- quested an additional AS hours within which to sign the peace treaty The council of three flatly refused the re- quest.
 The decision to refuse the request was reached after discussion lasting less than an hour.
 The German note read as follows:
 "To His Excellency, the President of the Peace Conference. M. Clemenceau: "Mr. President: The minister for foreign affairs instructs me to beg the allied and associated governments to prolcng for 4S hours the time limit for answering your excellency's note, com municated yesterday evening, and~like- wise the time limit for answering the note of June 16 1919
 Tt was only on Saturday, after great difficulties, that new cabinet was formed. which, unlike it's predecessor. could come to an agreement to declare it's willingness-to sign the treaty as regards nearly all it's provisions. The national assembly has expressed it's confidence in this cabinet by a large majority of votes. The answer only arrived here just before midnight, as the direct wire from Versailles to Wei mar was out of order. The govern ment must come into contact anew with the national assembly, in order to take the grievious decision which is still required of it in such a manner as it can only be taken in accord ance with democratic principles and with the internal situation in Ger many.
 Accept, MT. President, the assurance of my distinguished consideration
 WON HANIEL." The following reply was sent after it's approval by the council of the allied and associated powers;
 "Mr. President: The allied and asso- ciated governments beg to acknowledge the receipt of your communication of June 23. After full consideration of your request. they regret that it is not pos sible to extend the time already granted to your excellency to make known your decision relative to the signature of the treaty without any reservation.

 WHAT MOBILE NEEDS
 When asked what Mobile needed, he replied that she needed a great many things but he mentioned principally facilities for handling bunker and car go coal here from barges to vessels and also facilities for transferring incom- ing ore from steamers to barges for transportation up the Warrior to the Birmingham industrial plants.
 "AnOther need of Mobile and of
 the entire people of the state is

 posed. 'SThe sooner all of us, Mo-
 bile, Birmingham, Tuscaloosa and
 all other river towns and towns
 throughout the state. see that there
 are vast opportunities before us
 brought about by conditions fol-
 lowing the war, the sooner we can
 embrace these opportunities
 The development of the Warrior, and of Mobile, and of the state, is so lnterlinked that they cannot be separ- ated. It is one prospostion. the parts of which are inseparable. Therefore 1t is to the interest of us all that we work together for the big things, or else we shall have to continue in a petty way our own little localized business as it was carried on before"
 The farmer and his cotton are also yitally affected by the Warrior, MT. Nesbitt said For instance, because of the new river rate bale of cotton may be shipped down stream at a saviyS in freight of 60 cents per bale, which means an increased profit for the prod uct, no matter where he sells 1t.
