ALLIES AGREE ON
AID FOR POLAND
Troops viii Not Be Used But
Economic Move Is
Planned.

Hythe. England.--Great Britain and
france are convinced that the bolslie.
Wiki intend 10 capture Warsaw and
set up n soviet government in Poland.
In British and French circles It Is
admitted that the situation has
brought crisis only second In gravity
to that Of 1914.
The allied conference here reached
a complete agreement on plans for
dealing with the Russo-Polish crisis.
They include the reimposltion OF
the blockade. but on the advice OF the
experts no allied troops will be en-
pIoyed
After the premiers decided TO re-
impose the blockade on Russia and
to furnish munitions and technical
advice to Poland, Lloyd George got
NJ. Milierand to withhold application
Of aid until after the preliminary re-
suits Of the conference at Mirfsk be-
tween the bolshevik and Polish rep
resentatives are knswn.
VI. Mlllerand, who had urged the
French policy which included the
blockade and strong defensive meas
ures. was obliged to yield somewhat
to the milder policy of the British
premier, who was determined that no
allied aid should be used in Poland.
Establishment OF defensive line
in Poland, considered by the confer.
ence, il carried out would, according
to opinion here. be regarded by the
British and French as more than a
plan to aid Poland; it would be in
effect a Gordon sanitaire, to keep the
boIshevik from western Europe. But
from what happened at the closing Of
the conference il was considered that
much would depend on the bolshevik
attitude at Minsk.

The Huckleberry Crop.

The bountiful huckleberry crop in
the Blue mountains is drawing hum
dreds of people mountainward, with
the result that all camps are filled
and even out-of-the-way places,
wherever water is obtainable, camps
of huckleberry pickers may be found,
Not since 1894 has there been such a
prolific crop of the mountain berries,
and the high cost of other varieties of
fruit is one incentive that causes a
complete harvest Of the huckleberry
crop.

 Captain Hart, his daughter and the lat ter's husband were drowned, having been trapped with three others in the upper cabin of the boat
 Engineer Dan Dykes. Knoxville, Tenn, who had been employed on the boat for eight months. testified he had repeatedly told Captain Hart that the boat had open seams that would let in much water, and
 that it was dangerous to operate it. The engineer said Captain Hart always told

 escaped drowning swore that they had called the attention of the captain to the
 condition of the boat. Dykes said the boat sank two minutes after it sprang 8

Hurrah for Tourist Camp

10 the Editor of The Age-Herald,
 left Birmingham on November 2o &C., eompanied by my wife, for trip to this place. We were provided with camping outfit and were greatly surprised to find such an unprecedented number coming down in thls way Many of the larger towns and cities had provided camping places. us n rule furnishing water and toilet facilities At some places free wood was also furnished.
 Being an old resident of Birmingham, and naturally interested in It's prosperity, l determined to write back to The Age Herald and suggest that we do the same thing. Imagine my pleasure in reading in last Monday 2 issue of your paper that site had been selected and steps taken to establish such a camp. and with It's characteristic enterprise adding Kitchen and other facilities The kitchen Idea IS something we have not seen, even in Flor ida. and will certainly prove drawing card. I am writing to congratulate you upon this progressive step, and at the same time to give you some idea of It's possibilities l was a guest of the Xii wanis club today at it's weekly luncheon as the representative of Alabama, and had the pleasure of meeting men from practically every state in the union. h. dede, it is said there are at this time over 1OOOo0 tourists in Florida, and l am pre-
 
 coming in large numbers. l learn upon good authority that more thon one-half Of these people are from the two states or Michigan and Ohio, which means that their return trip can easily be made by the way of Birmingham, and will be II the proper steps are taken to invite them.
 But you ask what class of people con stitute this great army of tourists They are capitalists, business men, homeseek- CTS, mechanics, etc. You will understand many of them will settle in Florida; as matter of fact, it is a common sight to see them living in tents here in Tampa while they are building their houses. With the opening of spring the trip pack home will begin, and that's where BIT mingham's opportunity comes in Iouno some who came down that way, and they semed greatly pleased with what they saw, but by far the larger number came by way of Chattanooga and Annlston'
