the demands of the allies that the
first installment in cash on the repair
ations bill be paid. Premiers Lloyd
George and BRAND of France are to
meet Sunday in England to discuss
measures to be taken if Germany fails
to meet the allied demands. It has
been reported that France would in
sist on the occupation Of additional
German territories and other penal
ties in the event of failure to comply.
What steps Germany has taken to
meet the allied demand or to what
extent new proposals regarding rep
arations have been prepared are not
known here. From the urgent nature
of the German appeal, it was the be-
lief of some officials and diplomats
that the Berlin government found
itself in an extreme position.
The German appeal received today
and Mr.. Hughes reply were made
public by the state department with
out comment and high administration
officers declined to discuss either of
them.

NO SITE SELECTED

AS yet no site has been selected
for the new High School building.
The Board met yesterday and con-
sidered the bids which were before
it. The lot on Chestnut street, the
old Gary lot and the Fair Ground
lot, were each offered the Board of
Trustees at prices which were not
given out, and unless other lots are
offered one of these will likely be
selected. I
The petition for an, election on
issuing bonds has been prepared and
in the next few days it will be pre-
sented to the free-holders and elec-
tors residing in the school district.
When enough names have been sign
ed, an election will be ordered.

CAPT. SHAW HERE.

Capt. w. C. Shaw, of Lowndes-
vile, was in the city today. He called
on the force at the Press and Ban
ner Office, but the editor was out! and
missed seeing him. The Captain was
on crutches this trip. Though he
fought through the war, and is now
past seventy, he still knows how to
plow, but these new-fangled 'plows get
away. with him sometimes. That is
what put him on crutches.
The captain is still in distress
about what is to>become of the peo-
pie of the country unless times soon
show some improvement. Like good
soldier, though, he is fighting and
hoping for turn in the tide of busi-
ness.

TO SPEAK AT BAPTIST CHURCH

Hon. Sam Small, the famous ora
tor and evangelist Of Georgia, will
be the speaker at the patriotic rally
in the Baptist church, Monday
evening, April 25th at 500 o'clock.
The subject Of DR.. Small's ad-
dress, will be "The Salvation Of
Uncle Sam" and very timely and
interesting discussion is anticipated.
For nearly three decades DR..
Small has been one of the prominent
figures on the American platform.
With Sam Jones, DR.. Small held
evangelistic meetings in every Sec
ton of the country, and the two
"Sams" were heard by thousands.
His quaint and peculiar way of ex-
pressing his thoughts, coupled with
the oratory which makes the speak
ers of the South attractive, has
placed DR.. Small as favorite before
the public. He is man of exception
al attainments and his practical ex-
perience as an attorney, journalist,
author, soldier minister, evangelist
and lecturer, has given him wealth
of material upon which to draw.
DIR. Small is an Emory and Henry
College man, and is considered as
one of the most noted living gradu-
ates of that old Virginia school.
Taylor University conferred the
Ph. D. upon him and the Ohio Nor
thern University the D. D. He wears
the button of Confederate soldier
and the pin of Spanish war Veter-
an and his three sons were active in
service during the great war. But it
is. his remarkable vitality and his
versatile manner both of thinking
and of speaking, that draws large
audiences wherever he speaks.
The meeting under the direction
of the local ministers and auspices
Of the National Reform Association,
the oldest reform organization in
the United States, which is sending
DR.. Small on a tour of the principal
cities of the South in a campaign in
behalf of the application eof Chris
tian principles to the unsettled
problems of the present day.

WEEKS ANNOUNCES
ORGANIZATION OF
/. FIELD WAR STAFF
Will Be Headed by Gen. Pershing.-
IT. Will Be Separate from Resu-
lar Chief Stuff.

Washington, Apr 21--Organization
of a war staff headed by General
Pershing to take charge of field oper-
ations Of the armies of the United
States in time of war was announced
today by Secretary Weeks. T..
"Instant preparation in time of
peace for active military operations"
was given by the secretary as the rea-
son for the new organization.
The organization, headed by Gen
eral Pershing, will be entirely sepaF-
ate from the officers OF the chief Of
staff, Mr.. Weeks said, which will con-
time to direct the administration of
the military establishment in time of
peace. General Pershing will have a
skeletonized staff, which will CORE
spond to ths.t at Chaumont during the
World War, and which will concern
itself entirely with problems Of strate
gy, tactics and war organization.
ave are going to have skeleton
lied general headquarters established
in the war department." said sSecre-
tary Weeks. 'Its purpose will be to
keep us instantly prepared for active
military operations. The details will
be given out later, but General Per-
shing will be at the head of the &C.
tivity. - ~ 81,
"Details of the plan are difficult to
arrange, owing to the working Of the
laws, but the chief Of staff will con-
tinue to direct the administration Of
the army III time of peace" @.'
Before the world war, Secretary
Weeks explained, Marshal Joffre
had been similarly selected to COM
mand the armies OF france, II war
came, and organized a skeleton staff
which was instantly available.
/, Secretary Weeks would not confirm
''o1adeny rrlmors that Major General
James G. Harboard, who was for a
time General Pershing's chief Of staff
in France and later head of the SER
vice of supply, had been selected to
relieve Major General Payton G..
March as chief Of staff of the army.
1t was thought probable by some Of
fcers that General Harboard might
become General Pershing's chief aide
on the war staff.

CAN'T DEPORT ANY
MORE RUSSIANS IF

u. S. Must Submit List For Approx
~~".l Of Moseow-Are Giving
Trouble. ...

Riga, Letvia, April 21.-The Uni
States no longer will be able to de-
port it's undesirables or send its will
ing Russian residents to Soviet Rus
sia, without previous negotiations
and the consent Of the Soviet govern
ment in each individual case, under
the provisions Of a Soviet decision
made public today through a note
to the Letvian government. .
The note says that effective today,
the. Soviet authorities will not honor
any transit vises granted by Letvian
representatives abroad for emigrant
or deportees bound for Russia un-
less they also have Russian vises.
The Letvian government has mott
fed its consul in New York to abide
by this ruling and similar instruc-
tions have been sent to England. For
a long time past Russia has admitted
without Soviet vises, deportees and
other from the United States after
questioning them at neutral ports Of
sdebarkation. The effect Of the new
ruling, SO far as the United States
is concerned, will be the prevention
of further deportations from that
country to Soviet Russia unless a
list Of those deported has been sub
mitted officially to the Soviet govern
ament and the latter's permission for
the entry of such deportees into Rus
sia gained. r, -. .v -.
z During the last few months Amer
icanized Russians among the emf
grants and deportees entering Rus
sia have caused much difficulty there
and in many instances are said to
foreign leading factors. in revolts.
In addition, many Of them have
been anarchists whom the Soviet
authorities also are unwilling to ad-
nit. ~ r. 49,, -
