THIEVES UNSUCCESSFUL:
LOCKS WERE TOO STRONG

Thieves attempted to break into
the store of Joe Quina on West Gov
street some time during
Tuesday night, but were unsuccess-
full Wrenches were stolen from an
automobile owned by James Johnson.
After taking out a pane of glass in
the back window the wouId-be thieves
found they could not crawl through,
owing to a pile of lumber against
the window. Then the glass in the
back door was broken and an entrance
effected by turning the key in the
lock. Their efforts were useless, for
they then had access only to the
back room, in which nothing of value
was kept.
Using the wrenches and other tools
stolen from the car on the door in
an effort to open it for some time,
they were evidently scared away or
gave the job up in disgust for they
could not effect an entrance.
Had they been successful in their
efforts Joe would probably be minus
a number of valuable shotguns and
revolvers, besides other things.

Conference With Business Men.


FITZGERALD, Ga, March 10
Union labor employees of the Atlanta
Birmingham and Atlantic and promi-
nent business men entered a confer
ence tonight for the purpose Of trying
to end the strike on that road.
It was the first day since the strike
began that a train was successfully
operated out of this city, and this
without a sign of disorder. Following
the meeting it was announced that the
men were willing to work on a non
reduced wage scale, pending a decision
by the railroad labor board. This
means that the men are still standing
pat, it was announced.
At a meeting of merchants today 1t
was announced that Fitzgerald's atti-
tude toward the strike is strictly neu-
trail, and that it is not strike town"
as it has been reported elsewhere.
The train operated out of here at
1880 o'clock this morning was receiv
ed by big crowds all along the line
The train arrived at Triton at a. m.
and continued on to Thomasville. Reg
ular passenger train schedules will be
maintained from Townsville to Cor
dele, it was announced.

GERMAN FUNDS
in j. S. BANKS
Evidently to Be Used for Ger.
many's Future Trade
Here.

WASHINGTON, March 16.-Iaclu-
sion by the allied reparations commits
sion of the American Federal Reserve
banks as an optional depositary for
Germany indemnity payments,
brought from the treasury officials
tonight the statement that the COM
mission probably had two purposes in
view:
First, to enable the German govern
ment to call pom vast credits which
it is said to hold through private
agents in the United States.
Second, to employ in favor of the
allied governments the tremendous
difference in exchange rates.
Information gathered by the re-
serve banks was said to show that
since the armistice Germany has
been amassing credits in United
States national banks, holding the
funds in the name of individuals. No
approximate estimate of the amount
could be obtained, but officials said
the sum would run into many mill
limos. This money, it was said, was
presumed to be for use in Germany's
future trade, much of which would
center in the United States.
There had been no intimation given
the United States government that
its banking system might be en-
ployed as the reparations note for
warded to Berlin today suggested, Of
ficials stated. The mere fact that
this governments banks would serve
as practically neutral territory, so
