ALLIED COUNCIL
 HAS REACHED A
 TENTATIVE PLAN
Lloyd George Urges Ex- change With Russia Par
 ticularly For Wheat.

Paris, March 2-Joint buying, dis tribution according to necessities and supervision of selling prices were provided for in a tentative plan agreed to at London yesterday by the economic section of the supreme allied council, says the Petit Parisien which today prints an outline of the program. The plan must be submitted to Premier Millerand before becom- ing effective.
 'In the debate which developed during the meeting as where the needed materials might be found,'' the newspaper says, ''the exchange situation between Europe and the United States was considered as hin- dering purchases, and Premier Lloyd George of Great Britain, urged ex- changes with Russia, particularly for wheat. There was, therefore only a step to be taken toward making a direct agreement with the Soviet government for exchanges which were previously arranged for with the Russian cooperative societies, which form, in reality, only an administra- tive organ. This step has been | taken,'

TRAFFIC ORDER DISREChRDED BY

 rested.

Because he disobeyed the orders of Traffic Officer Harold Beardsworth. and entered Harrison street yesterday afternoon while a funeral was pass ing through that thoroughfare, Aristo Tomasetti, of 146 North Washington avenue, a truck driver employed by the City Health Department, was placed under arrest, charged with breach of the peace.
 In the City Court this morning, Of- fcer Beardsworth stated that he was 9oing duty at the corner of Harrison street and Fairfield avenue yesterday afternoon, and had received orders to allow no vehicles to enter Harrison street until the funeral had passed.
 He claimed that he ordered Toma- setti not to enter the street with his large truck, and the driver, after some argument, drove his machine down Fairfield avenue to Broad street, and then up Elm street and finally into Harrison street where he met Cap tain Charles A Wheeler. The driver indulged in an argument with the captain, and upon being threatened with arrest told the officer to go ahead and lock him up.
 Tomasetti declared in court. that Beardsworth did not tell him about the funeral, but merely told him not to enter the street. He also claimed that Captain Wheeler used insulting language towards him during the course of the argument. Judgment was suspended.

 this morning. Trolley car No. 1841 was also proceeding eastward immed- lately behind the public service ma chine, and trolley No 1902 was ap- preaching from the opposite direc- ton.
 In some manner the east-bound d | trolley car crashed into the rear of | the jitney bus,and hurled 1t against the i side of the west-bound car. The i'm 1 pact proved too much for the auto mobile, and the body gave a fairly good imitation of the one 'Fhoss'' shay
 was injured in the smash-up. He was not seriously hurt, and did not require medical attention.
 l Traffic Officer Herbert Higgins, who ! happened to be near the scene of the
 accident at the time of it's happening investigated the case and found thai De Pablo was operating without 2 registration card. The officer did no arrest the jitneyInan.

LEADERS PLANNING
 10 MAKE PACT AN
 ISSUE OF ELECTION
People Will Be Called on to Express Their Views on Ratification Think Compromise Negotiations H a e Reached a Hopeless Stage.

Washington, March 2-Fhe peace treaty will be thrust into the political campaign under plans of Senate leaders, who have agreed to drop the com promise negotiations which they believe have reached a hopeless stage. Unwilling to consume more time in dicker- ing over compromises, the lead CTS have agreed to put the treaty away and turn their at
 tention to urgent legislation.
 This means that the treaty would
 become a dominant issue in the ap-
 preaching political campaign and 1 that the American people would be
 called upon to express their views on the question Of ratification, nloalfica-
 ton or rejection through the ballot box. Both sides heretofore have fought off stubborn1y this eventuality,
 but they are said now to have come to look upon it as inevitable.
 The treaty would be taken out of
 the Senate and saved for the fight at the polls by a call for the final ratification vote and its resultant fail | ure of passage, if the plans of the leaders materialize. Action on the l treaty was shut off yesterday by ad- 1 journrnent of the Senate out of re- i spect for Senator Bankhead. By l unanimous consent the vote on the i reservation concerning domestic queS- l tionS went over until today.

SEN. NEWBERRY CONVICTED
OF BUYING HIS ELECTION

Senator Truman H. Newberry, of
Michigan, who beat Henry Ford by
a small margin last year, has been
found guilty in the United States
District Court of violation of the cor
rupt practices act.
Together with more than dozen
of his associates, among them his
brother and several other men of
great wealth, he has been sentenced
to the penitentiary for two years and
fined $4,000.
An appeal has been taken but as
the admissions of the defendants
practically furnish the evidence upon
which they were convicted, the case
VIII probably not be reversed.
AS two-thirds of the jurymen were
members of Newberry's own party,
Republicans, he can not make it a
case OF political persecution.
His vote in the senate kent that
body from being dealocked between
the two parties, and kept the Demo
cratic organization of that body from
remaining in power.

THREE-RINCED CIRCUS
COMING TO MARIETTA
Sparks Circus Here Monday April IL
Under Auspices of Marietta
Shrine Club

A real three ringed circus is COM
ing to town, with wise lions and I'll
gers, two heards of elephans, tango
and shimmey dancing horses, inter
mingled with human stars and with
troops of clamor let loose between
thrills.
The Sparks Circus which is coming
to Marietta on Monday, April 18th, is
huge and grand and new enough to
warrant the very highest of praise.
Everyone will laugh at the caper-
ing clowns, gasp at the feature acts
and shudder at the sensations crowd
ed together in two hours and half.
The biggest and most daring of the
animals acts are the two elephant
herds, one of which includes "Big
Zulu" the "Skyscraper elephant"
Less spectacular, maybe, but almost
as sensational, are the Harrison bears
who are not only natural born CO.
medians, but have been taught such
difficult feats as roller skating, riding
bicycles, wrestling and boxing, walk
ing the tight rope and ever the play
ing Of musical instruments has been
mastered by these four footed actors.
Just to add good measure to the per-
Torrance it is interspersed with a
score or more of high class stars of
the arenic world.
OF course there are clowns and
forty of them will surely make you
laugh, if you have one stored away
in you. Altogether the wonderful
program presented under the "big
top" of Sparks Circus will give
boundless pleasure to big and small.

TO THE PATRONS OF THE
MARIETTA PUBLIC SCHOOL S

Successful School work is largely
dependent upon regular attendance.
Sporadic endeavor is unfair to both
teacher and pupil and results in a
lower standard Of scholarship.
There is prevalent and growing
tendency upon the part of the pat
rons of the Marietta Public Schools
to tolerate frequent absences of the
children and in a majority of cases
investigation has shown that these
children have been kept out to work
either at home or elsewhere thus fix
ing in measure the cause of trancy
upon the parent or guardian.
For the benefit of anyone controll-
ing children who attend any of the
Public Schools of the city of Marietta
the following extract is taken from
Section I'll of the Compulsory
School Law for Georgia: every pa
rent guardian or other person having
charge and control of a child be-
tween the ages of eight and fourteen
years, who is not exempted or ex-
cused as hereinafter provided shall
cause said child to be enrolled in and
attend continuously for six omnths
of each year public school of the
District or Of city or town in which
the child resides, which period of
attendance shall commence at the be-
gining of the first term of said school
in the year"
A rigid enforcement of this law is
demanded and in order to meet its
requirements as well as to insure bet
ter work by the teachers and pupils,
the cooperation of all parents and
guardians is earnestly asked that as
nearly as possible there may be no in
terruption of regular attendance,
By order of the Superintendent.
