the Germans with an ultimatum calling
for the occupation of the Ruhr district

II the United States had acted as an
impartial participant" declared Premier
Lloyd George before leaving for London
today.
The British premier apparently was
satisfied with the result of the discus
sions which came to an end last night
when the Germans signed the allied coal
protocol pledging themselves to deliver
to the allies 100000 tons of coal
monthly for a specified time.
When Lloyd George was asked where
the next conference Of the allied foreign
ministers would be held he laughed as
he replied Washington would be a
good place, but they tell me it is pretty
hot there in summer. I should prefer
Deauville myself"
Lloyd George believes the German gov
eminent will have a more difficult time
enforcing the disarmament protocol than
the coal protocol.
Both call for quick action on the part
Of the Berlin government, as both are
effective at once
The British delegation, which was the
biggest at the conference, was the first
to leave, being followed by the French.
The German delegation, beaded by

Cotton Ginned.

The Government ginning re-
port issued last Friday shows TO-
Ol7,0OO bales ginned to January
lst, as compared with 1O,773,863
to same date last year.
The number of bale ginned in
Richmond county to Jan. 1st is
1895, as compared with l4,153
to same date last year. This is
an increase of 1882 over the gin
ming of last year to same date.
Last year about 1000 bales were
glnned from Jan. 1st to the end
OF the ginning season; it is
scarcely likely more than 600
bales yet remain to be ginned for
this 1919 crop. 1t would seem
that this crop bids fair to total
l8,50O bales arecord production.
Inc nearest to 1t was in 1911
when 1922 bales were ginned.
