NOTE TO GERMANY

San Reno, April 23-(By the Asso-
ciated Press)-The agreement be-
tween Premiers Nitti and Lloyd
George concerning Germany was pre-
sented to the supreme council late
this afternoon and will form the
basis of very stiff note to Germany
which will be ready for signature to-
morrow by Great Britain, France,
Italy, japan and Belgium. The Uni
ted States will not sign the note.
Either the declaration or. an auth
oritative condensation will be made
public tomorrow. Mr. Lloyd George
announced tonight.
The document is the result Of pri-
vate conversations between Premier
Millerand and me. which resulted in
complete agreement upon the policy
to be adopted" said the British pre-
mier. The document will be COM
municated to the press tomorrow and
the public can then form it's own i'm
pressions." -.
Mr. Lloyd George, replying to ques-
tions, also said:
I'VE have discouraged the use of
military means to enforce the treaty
when not necessary to use them. Ny
statement to the people of commons
is perfectly clear. My view is that
Germany should not be prevented
from restoring order. in Germany.
The same thing happened in France
in 1871 when Germany proposed to
put down the Commune. Theirs OBJ
jected because the intervention Of
foreigners would tend to make. the
Commune popular. No one has the
right to say we are not prepared to
use military force to enforce the
treaty" 1t is understood from quite
another source than Lloyd George
that one extremely important point
in the agreement between the British
and French premiers defines it to be
in the interest of France to fix, at a
meeting to be held early in May in
a Belgian city. where representatives
of the allies will meet representatives
of Germany, global sum Germany
must pay the allies Immediately. 1t
Is even said that the allies have ten
tatively fixed an annual payment of
three billion marks, pre-war ex-
change, for 80 years, as a suitable
payment, but that the German gov
eminent will be asked in the mean
time to maket he proposal Of lump

Armenia Mandate For L. S.
Asked BY Supreme Council

San Reno, April 25.-(By the Associat-

| ing formal request 20 President Will
, son that the United States government
| take the mandate for Armenia. The
council is leaving to President Wilson
the arbitration of the differences over
the boundaries of Armenia.
There seems to be division on the part
of the council as to whether the region
Of Erzerum and it's vicinity should be
included in the territory of the Arme-
MAN republic. The Turkish nationalists
are strongly claiming Erzerum.
San Reno. April 25.-(By the Associat-
ed Press).-The supreme council today
decided to ask President Wilson to ar
bitrate the boundaries Of the new re-
public Of Armenia.
The council awarded a mandate for
Mesopotamia and Palestine to Great
Britain and a mandate for Syria to
France.
In placing Palestine under a British
mandate the council established within
the ancient limits of Loly Land what
is called 1.-The national home of the
Jews"
The terms of the mandate protect the
national rights Of Jewish citizens Of
other countries. That is to say, Jew
of American, British, French or other
nationality may retain that nationality,
although he is also a citizen of the
state Of Palestine. The rights of Arabs
are protected. there being 100000 in Pal
estine and 10000 Jews. The mandate is
limited generally by what is known as
the Balfour declaration. British forces
have been in occupation of Palestine
since the defeat of the Turkish forces
by the British field marshal Niscount
Allenby.
France has been the protector Of the
Christians in Syria since the Middle
Ages. having been designated for the
purpose by the Hol. See. The question
with regard to Syria has been in Sc
rious controversy between the French
and British governments since the arm
istice was signed. particularly over the
point whether France should have all

orator to let them off
One of the detectives covered the
negro with a gun and walked him
down the corridor. The other four
men went to the apartment and
knocked. The two detectives within,
thinking their brother officers had
returned for the prisoners opened the
door. Pistols were thrust into their
faces and the Is men in the room
were ordered to throw up their hands

revolver, began to search them.

on Detective Ryan, the officer drew
his pistol and fired. A fusilade of
shots followed but no one was
wounded. In the confusion the rob-
bers fled. The negro ran for the ele-
vator and the bandit who had been
guarding him fired. The bullet en-
tered the negroes stomach. The two
detectives pursued the gunner to the

want the impression to get abroad
that Lakeland is doing nothing. On
the contrary, the showing made by

II conditions were normal, and had
been so for the last few years, we
should be justly proud of what we

ether city, long period of abnormal
sluggishness in building operations
