Paris. March 16.-Premier Millerand today put aside the German crisis long enough to discuss the relations between France and the United States and the conditions of international credit. He said to representative of the Asso- ciated Press:
 France and the United States must continue the close friendship which always has been maintained between the two countries.
 No fleeting misunderstandings must be allowed to trouble their relations. To that end the sooner misconceptions are dissipated the better.
 Without going into the purely po- litical questions, it appears to me an opportune time to recall now to our friend, the United States. that France A not asking for charity. The greater part of the money France borrowed abroad was spent in the common in- terest of all the civilized countries-a fact which might form the basis of a claim for special consideration, but such is not our intention.
 We do not request cancellation of our debts. We only ask time to breathe and to recover our strength after four and half years of exhausting war Our propositions are those which any debtor would feel right in making in the interest of both himself and his creditor"
 The premier referred to the ruinous fluctuations in the rate of exchange which he held would be aggravated rather than palliated through meas ures proposed to France by those noi taking sufficient account of interior conditions M &N s @

 HAVE NO FACTORIES
 After mentioning the suggestion made by tlfe United States that France could raise the value of the franc ny increasing exportations, Premier Mil lerand said that the question appeared to be imperfectly understood by the American people. q
 We ask nothing better than in creased exports. We must first how ever, manufacture. and we can't mako the things for foreign trade until we have factories in which to manufacture them.'
 He then took up the view Of Amer'- can financiers who have urged France to ship her gold against an unfavor. able trade balance He continued; Il France were dcprived of 'her gold il would bring on a financial crisis CO inciding with the period during whicf the effects of war would be unrepaired It would constitute perils of anothsl order quite as great as those we were under from 1914 to 191S."

DECATUR

Decatur, March 16.-(Special )-Judge Q. Kyle of the circuit court created a sen sation yesterday when he charged the grand jury to investigate the registration situation in Morgan county. the alleged practice of deputy sheriffs stopping peo- pie and searching them illegally Tor whisky and the prices charged for the necessities of life, including fuel.
 Judge Kyle quoted sections of the profiteering act passed by the last legis- lature and demanded investigation of the local price on many commodities.
 Bring the clerks before you, the book keepers and even the books themselves, he told the jurors. The official stated he had been informed that coal could be de- livered here at A.15 ton and the retail price is $s.25 a ton.

Funeral services were held this after noon at Flint for Mrs A. J. Harnaker, who died Sunday night. Services were conducted by Rev B. P.
