 GEORGIA JURY
 STOP PEONACE
(By United Press)

'Dy united lreSSt
 Atlanta, Ga, April 26-With the federal grand jury in session today, the sttae of Georgia was given the offer of the government to send 50 operatives into the state at once for investigation of alleged negro peon- age outrages. Many cases of peonage are before the grand jury, it was said. The full strength of the federal gov ernment will supplement the state and district agencies in ferreting out and ending peonage.
 Evidence before the grand jury is said to show that in many cases ne- groes were held in virtual slavery and were killed when they attempted to escape serfdom.
 Governor Hugh M. Dorsey today issued an appeal to all solicitor gen. erals, to immediately prosecute all cases of mob violence or cruelty to negroes.

FRANCE TO DECLINE
 BERLIN'S NEW OFFER
(By United Press)

NBy united fresSI
 Paris, April 26.-Regardless of the acceptance or rejection of Germany s new proposal on separations, now in the hands of the American secretary of state, France will demand the i'm mediate occupation of the Ruhr val ley unless the Berlin Reichsbank sur renders it's reserve of metals as or dered by the allied council.
 France through the allied council demanded that Germany place it's re- serve of metals at the Coblenz and Cologne branches of the Reichsbank, so as to be easy of access by allied occupation forces. The reserve was to be transferred by Friday, and the council has followed it's original order with an ultimatum calling for the surrender of one billion gold marks in lieu of the reserve.
 The council as well as the French government regard this phase of the settlement as independent of the gen. eral operations qustions and will in- sist upon cocmpliance.
 In substance France demands that Germany pay separations amounting to 226,000,000,000 gold marks, ap- proXimately $56 6,500,000, 1000, held by Premier Briand to be the absolute minimum. Since the new proposa falls below this figure, Briand will reject it. Before accepting any of. fer, France will insist that more Ger many territory be occupied as an i'm pressive reminder that the allied goY. ernments are in earnest and will en. force their demands by military az. gression if required

Washington, April 26.-American officials are inclined toward accept ance of the German separations offer, it is tacitly understood although no official comment can be made until the associated governments have spoken. It was believed in state circles that the offer contains a basis for final settlement of the separations tangle, and should be accepted by France and Great Britain for the allies.
