France Collects Big
 Excess Over Budget
 Estimate for April
By AssecIatsd Prsss

Paris, Wednesday. May 14-(French Wireless Service )-During the month of April the sum of 6S1, ,225. 300 francs was collected in France from taxes and state monopolies, this being an excess of 137,- 792,000 francs over the budget estimate and an increase of PTS, 200 frhncs over the corresponding month of l91S This brings the excess over the budget esti- mate for the first four months of 1919 to 64o,95S 900 francs and the increase over the first four months of 1918 to 744.164,600 francs.
 In examination of the detailed figures. a notable increase in individual imports is revealed, this being attributed to the improvement in transportation and the doing away with some prohibitions upon importations. It is noted also that taxes collected in April of this year upon im- ports were graters by 70 per cent than those of April a year ago. This increase in the volume of customs taxes is con sidered an infalilble sign that the eco- homie situation will soon improve.

EXPERIMENTAL START
By Associated Press


 Washington, May 15.--The efforts of Commander Towers and Lieut. Command CT Bellinger to get the NC-1 and NC-3 into the air today to begin the flight to Europe probably were in the nature of an experimental start, officers said although had the machines succeeded in lifting the heavy loads they carried without question they would have proceeded. The first necessity for successful flight to Europe, it was pointed out, is that the planes should have the greatest possible supply of fuel for their engines With than 200O pounds, there remained fac the vessels and it is believed Command increase the amount of fuel with which he starts. His purpose is believed to be to get into air with enough gasoline in the tanks to make his vessels just able to rise and no more. Their load will decrease with every moment of their flight as the engines burn up the gaso- line, and they thus will be safe in air with any weight they are able to lift from the surface of the water.
 Officers who had been in closest touch with the plans and difficulties of the flight have counted upon at least one false start and are convinced that the machines will get away tomorrow after noon, weathe- permitting. The arrival of the NC-4, however, may persuade Com mander Towers to wait even another day until that boat can be made fully ready and the original group of three planes make the start together.

NEGRO TAKEN FROM OFFICER BY A MOB
 AND BODY R|DDLED
Deputy Overpowered and Prisoner Seized While on Way to Macon for
 Safekeeping
By A.seeIats1 Tres.

Dublin, Ga, May.15.-James Waters, a negro, accused of assaulting . white girl In Johnson county two weeks ago, was lynched in that county today. The negro was being taken to jaf at Ma con for safe keeping when he wns taken from Deputy Sheriff Q. l.. smith.
 Waters had worked on farm owned by the parents of his. victim and was regarded as trustworthy. Shortly after the crime was committed he disap- peared and was captured last night a. Sun Hill in Washington county Off, Cers said he confessed the crime .
 Deputy Smith, taking the negro to Macon in anN automobile, said he reached bridge over Ohoopee river in Johnson county today and found his progress barred by an automobile across the road No one was in sight, he said. but as he stopped about 150 men leaped from behind bushes along the road and pointed guns at him
 The negro was taken from the depu : tvs machine and the deputy was or dered to drive on. The negro's body was found later riddled with bullets. The mob had not hanged him, but had tied him to a tree with ropes and shot his body almost to pieces, some of tn ? ropes even being cut by bullets.
 A coroner's inquest held late today decided that the negro came to his death at the hands of unknown per- sons.

GERMANY ALONE RESPONSIBLE
By Associated Press


 Paris, Wednesday, May 14.-- (French Wireless Service.-Germany's blockade troubles were primarily brought upon her by herself, writes Maxmilian Har- din, the German free lance. in the latest number of his periodical Die zuk- kunfdt.
 Both Bismarck and Caprivi had pre- dicted such measure against Germany if she went to war, the writer points out, but he argues that it would have been impossible for the blockade to have been imposed if Germany had not refused at The Hague in 1907 to accept the British proposition tending to the abolition of the right of cap- ture. and that of prohibited zones on the sea.
 The men who at that time were di- recting German foreign policy, Herr Harden continues, were convinced that in case of the outbreak of Anglo-Ger- man war, the British people, no longer devoted to agriculture, would suffer from famine much before Germany, q country highly developed agricultural ly and adjoining Russia, Holland and Denmark.
 In these circumstances, therefore, in Herr Harden's opinion, the Germans have no right to complain about the blockade imposed upon them.

New Orleans, May 15.-Fol lowing an address late today by Gov. w. P. G. Harding oI the federal reserve board, 1T which he urged cotton interests in the southern belt to "get to- gether" and support the for. nation of a 00,000,000 cottor experts corporation, delegates assembled here to consider plans for such an organization were told that a proposed char ter for the concern would bs submitted to them tonight. The announcement came after con ference between MT. Harding and the full committee empowered to draft the charter.
 MT. Harding declared in his address that the cotton interests of the south would, by establishing the exports cor poration, be doing not only a great thing for themselves, but for their country. which, he said, at this time
 needs your support
 Pointing out that there is small chance for further governmental aid MT. Hard ing said there Is splendid chance for the south to progress on it's own initia- : tive and ability. The war finance cor poration, he said, should prove of as- sistance to the cotton corporation, pro vided the new concern is soundly financed and ably managed.
 ''The war finance corporation," Mir Harding declared, "can loan funds only on good security and it expects to get back every dollar it pays out.
 Requests for assistance are certain to be heavy from many varied interests and in the nature of things there is bound to be a long waiting list after the door is shut"
 CONDITIONS BADLY UNSETTLED
 The speaker read an interview quoting Frank A. Vanderlip of the National City Bank, New York, to the effect that con-
 
 likely to continue so far long time.
 America, continued MT. Harding, must do the worlds financing until the world gets back on it's feet We have become the creditor nation of the world and the net credit to us is approximately s1o, ooo, 900 today. The volume of do- nestle commerce is bound to exceed for eign trade, but foreign trade is the best index to our prosperity.
 Gratifying as these foreign orders may be from a feeling of national pride. they confer solemn obligation upon us. It is very necessary for us to continue and expand our foreign trade. Conditions in Europe are chaotic. We also have the problem of the returned soldier and the reopening of plants formerly engaged in war purposes
 MT. Harding concluded by saving that ordinarily the floating of $1oo, coo oo1 corporation. to be financed in the south. would seem a gigantic problem, but, lie averred. it is entirely practicable if we get together among ourselves"
 The value of export cotton. he said. ought to be sl,ooo. oJ5.OO0 a year.
