.SHAKEUP AT FORD
PANT, THREE QUIT
Lack OF Harmony With Company Pol.
icies Cause Given by
Officers.

Detroit, Jan. a. Important
changes in the executive department
OF the Ford Motor Car Company are
being made, 1t became known tonight
Three executive heads have resigned
They are: c. A. Brownell, advertising
manager; F. L. Klingensmith, vice
president, and L. H. Turrell. chief
auditor. Brownell said the resigna-
lions were due to lack Of harmony
with the business policy of the COM
pany.
Other designations are impending,
1t was said tonight. Among them. II
was said. will be that Of William b.
Mayo, chief engineer. A conference
is scheduled to be held tomorrow.
Mayo is expected to hand in his re-
signation at that time.
Charles Sorensen, general mana
ger OF the Ford tractor plant, will be-
come executive vice president, accord
ing to Mr.. Brownell, succeeding Mr..
Klingensmith, and together with e.
G. Liebold, Mr.. Ford's private secre-
tary. will have full control of the flu
ture destinies of the big organization
except for the controlling voice of
Mr.. Ford.
Mr.. Liebold said today he could
make no statement other than that
he had "been informed" that the re-
signations of Klingsmith, Brownell,
and Turrell had been accepted. No
successors have been named to either
he said, and declared that all details
would be threshed out at the meet
ing tomorrow.
Turrell said a Combination of cir
cumstances" had developed that made
remaining with the company impossi-
BILE and forced his resignation.
Brownell said he was leaving on ac-
count of his wife's health. He will
accompany her to California, Tues
day. he said.
Klingensmith denied he had re-
signed. but the denial was regarded
as technical. II was said he refused to
be discharged by Liebold and Soren-
son, and will hold his position until
Henry Ford asks his resignation.
This is expected after tomororw's
conference.
Among the causes for dissatisfac-
ton was the recent price-cutting of
cars, II was said.

GERMANY FACES
YEAR OF GLOOM
Financial and Economical Ruin Faces
Nation; War Clouds Also
Loom Large.
BY Karl H. Won wiegand.

Berlin, Germany, Jan. IA dark
gloomy and uncertain portent, gen.
orally speaking. is the outlook Wis.
toned by Germany as the nation peers
into the uncharted and trouble
promising year OF 1921.
On the eve OF the New Year verit-
able drum fire of French and British
notes were falling upon Germany's
political front calling aloud "disarm
further, and these promise develop
ments In the New Year which can not
be forecast but which, without ex-
ception. serve to intensity the uneasi-
ness OF the German people and to
create a state of affairs which gives a
poor outlook for the coming year.
They will prevent the mental CONSOLE
dation so necessary to the work of re-
construction.
With but few exceptions, the sit
uation In Germany is no better at the
beginning of the year than II was at
the beginning of the revolution.
Count Won Bernstorff, former am
bassador to the United States. in a
written statement, declares the one
bright and promising ray piercing the
black political clouds handing over
Germany is from America. with the
establishment OF a new government
there. He believes President Hard
ing's first official act will be the
restoration of peace between the Unit
ed States and Germany.
Germany's statesmen are seeing
war looming up in the early spring
between Russia and Poland. Military
specialists are convinced Poland will
collapse, II not military, then pollti-
cally and economically, and point out
that Germany must be prepared fully
to reckon with the Red armies at the
main German border.
Persons coming from Warsaw paint
the political. economical and finan-
cial condition OF Poland as well-nigh
hopeless. They point out that the
German mark, which is worth less
than a cent and a half in American
money. buys ten Polish marks. They
also express doubt whether France
can much longer carry the burden Of
keeping up Poland's military ma
chine.
With that prospect in the East. the
Germans are both enraged and de-
pressed by the Entente demand for
the dissolution OF the German "se-
curity police" 1t is pointed out that
with the advance of the Red army,
the radicals in Germany are prepar-
ed to make an important move and
not lie inactive as when the Red ar
mics were at the German border the
last time.

STATE-AID ROAD
JOB Completed
Immense Saving Of Funds
Made By County Do
ing Work.

Grading, draining and bridge
building on the section Of the Owens
Zorro md Hartford State-Aid road
north of Beda has been completed
and reports of complete cost turned
in. The County, some time ago at
tempted to let contracts for the con-
struction of this work hut the bids
>Iere thought to be entirely too high.
ranging from approximately sS4.-
900 to $4,000 and all were rejected
and a commission consisting OF
Messrs. F. M. Hoover, Rowan Hol-
brook and s. T. Barnett appointed
and authorized by the Fiscal Court
to have the work d. ne under their
direct supt rvision. The Commission
turned the job over to S. t. Barnett,
as foreman, or superintendent, who
PERSONALITY supervised, in the manner
Of occurring men, teams, tools and lay
ing of material etc. The section IT
the road improved was the worst in
the Cou nty, perhaps, of all the roads
much In use. Heavy grades compos-
ed Of both earth and rock wore nee
essary to comply with the blue-prints
male by the State Authorities and
some changes were made in the plans,
necessltating the rmoval of al least
$500 yards of earth in excess Of the
amount embraced in estimate which
the. Contractors bid on. A lot OF
tools were purchased by the Commits
sion, carload of gravel and sand
was left over from the job in addi-
ton to the excess of earth removed
and in addition to all of those items
the commission with the sanction OF
4sse authorities did $4,000 worth Of
work beyond or north of the point
covered by the plans and specifica-
tions upon which the contractors
filed bids, as afore mentioned and
with the excess in work done, tools
purchased on hands and in good
shape, material left over to be used
in other work, the total expenditures
Appropriated s24,500 saving, under
the lowest bid received, around $10,-
900
Presenting that the contractors
would have done the work nearly II
not as cheap as 1t was done by the
County. 1t may readily be seen what
the profits would have amounted to.
Looking at the matter as 1t now
stands. those in authority are to be
congratulated for taking the method
pursued and the taxpayers are also
to be congratulated for the immense
sum saved to the County and State
Treasures And the fact is thorough
ly demonstrated that Contractors do
not take jobs for their health and
that work of this character can be
done under County supervision and
great sums of money saved to the
people.

292 GERMANS IN
FRENCH PRISONS
Almost 800 Yet Remain In Custody;
These are Serving Terms
For Crimes

Paris, Dec. 1S--Altho IL is now
more than two year, since the arms
tice was signed. there remain 292
German prisoners Of war in France.
They were soldiers when first intern
ed, but today are considered civilian
prisoners, for all are serving terms
of Imprisonment for various offenses
not considered OF a military nature.
There are also some Turkish, Bull
garian. Hungarian and even Polish
prisoners left in france.
Some are serving terms OF five
years hard labor for theft. for falsi-
flying signatures, assault, destruction
of French property, for refusal to
obey superiors.
Those serving time without hard
labor are called upon to work for
French interests and. apart from good
food, receive pay averaging one franc
day. To this are added wine and
tobacco allowances Cor good conduct
None of the prisoners complain OF
their lot, for most of them are reput-
ed dangerous criminals in their own
countries. Nevertheless. they are al
lowed to correspond with their home
countries and to receive mail and
packages of food or clothing. AS a
matter of fact, French sentries are
warned to show respect to their cap
tives and are told that they will be
punished II even heard to call pri-
soner "Boehe."

BALfOUR SCORED
FOR TRICklKGU. S.
Ex-British Official Silent On
Treaties While Secur-
ing Loan.

Washington, Jan. William Den
man, of San Francisco, first chair
man Of the Shipping Board, declared
today In an open letter to members OF
Congress that the reason Arthur j.
Balfour, former British secretary Of
state for foreign affairs, failed to dis
close to American government Off
Gals the existence of the secret trea-
ties between Great Britain and Japan
required mo further explanation
than his quest for the $4,000, 600, 900
which the United States loaned Great
Britain early in the war.
Mr.. Denman said Mr.. Balfour ar
ranged for "these moneys" in May,
1917, when he was in this country as
head Of the British war mission.
His protestations of deep friend
ship for the interest of the United
States" wrote Mr.. Denman, FILLED
our press and warmed his auditors
in the halls of Congress and at the
tables where our hospitality was ex-
tended to him. While he was max
ing them the ink was scarcely dry on
the last of the three notes constituting
the so-called secret Shantung treaties
which, from a naval standpoint, de-
stroyed the Island of Guam, probably
our most valuable naval base in the
Pacific.
Japan Given Advantage.
Japan our rival in the Pacific, by
agreement with Great Britain, was
confirmed in the possession OF the
Marienne group of islands, which
placed an unsurmountable barrier
between us and the North Asiatic
coast and the Japanese islands. Great
Britain's price for this was the British
control OF the islands of the South
Pacific coast, which. in the event OF
hostilities, to which such diplomacy
inevitably tends, isolated Guam from
the Philippines.
ut is obvious that Mr.. Balfour ow-
Oh W 10 tuc ulSClOSuTt VI lue cxlSL-
ence of these agreements. Why he
cid not require no further explanation
than his quest Of the $4,000. 600, 900.
1T will help liberal England to I'M
derstand the growing mistrust of Am
erica toward her to know that there
was active deception in addition to-
suppression of the facts, at the time
the loan was negotiated"
Mr.. Denman then charges that at a
conference between the Balfour mis-
sion and himself and Secretary Lam
sing and Assistant Secretary Polk, Of
the State Department, Mr.. Balfour
stated that "all the agreements be-
tween the allies affecting the inter-
ests of the United Stats and general
world shipping conditions would be
fully disclosed to the American con-
ferees." but that he had never RE
deemed his promise"
