Hold the Provinces by Force
y Must Stop

Paris. May 4.-The French govern

fpressed upon the government at War

cent plebiScite. In the meantime 4
strike already is in progress there.
Serious rioting is reported to have
occurred in certain sections and
French troops of occupation have had
engagements with bands of Polish in
'urgents. The latest dispatches re-
ceiYed today indicated that the trou-
5les were not yet ended and some
anxiety was expressed as to whether
she Warsaw government would be
able to get the insurrectionists II
hand.
The insurgent activities yesterday
took the form of destroying communi-
cation with Germany. bridges between
Breslau and SilesIan mining region
being blown up.
French infantry with tanks sue
ceeded in clearing Beuthen and Kat
towitz of rioters, but the utmost ap-
prehension exists here as to the de
velopment of the movement which.
according to official advices was
caused by articles in the Berlin news
oapers and that the sHpreme council
had decided to give Germany all OF
Upper Silesia, with the exception c
a small part of the mining region.

Washington, May Accessibility
,ha. the influence of the United States
n reparations with Germany had not
cLded with the despatch Of Monday
night $ communication returning the
counter proposals to Berlin, was seen
today in the invitation OF the Allied
Supreme Council to have American
representatives among its members
as well as on the reparations commits
sion and the council of ambassadors.
An unofficial statement of the
American position is expected when
the invitation Is formally received
here. When questions on the subject
have been broached heretofore off,
Gals invariably have replied that 1t
would be early enough for an answer
when an Invitation was received
The American government under
the Wilson administration was for q
time represented officially on the
reparations commission and unoff-
cially by observers on the council Of
ambassadors but never on the allied
council. Whether the Harding ad-
ministration from its interest in tha
economic adjustments in Europe will
decide to accept the invitation In any
form was the question In which inter-
est ceutered today.

No New Offer

London, May A German official
dispatch from Berlin this afternoon
says there is no foundation in the re-
port that Germany has made a new
reparations offer to the allies.
While the Berlin government was
not unprepared for the answer con-
tanned in the American state depart
ments reply to Foreign Minister
Simons, both the minister and his
colleagues in the cabinet had hoped
that Secretary Hughes answer would
be trifle more precise in indicating
the American Interpretation of "cla,,
definite and adequate proposals. To
this extent the American answer lefi
the cabinet In a confused state OF
mind. 1t was said.
Yesterdays cabinet meeting devot-
cd four hours to a full discussion of
the American reply and the reports
coming in from the London confer
ence.
Speaking unofflcially for the gov
ernment cabinet official stated the
reply had left the cabinet IN a
Quandary in that It failed to point out
the direction in which the German
counter proposals were lacking or
u. suitable for transmission.
We would have welcomed most
hoartily the any positive suggestion
from Washington and would have
/ Heen equally anxious to carry It out.
The present reply. however. is doubly
negative in that 1t fails to give us q
ue or suggestion as to how our coun.
or proposals might have been amend
ed or wrought into a suitable instru-
ment for fresh negotiations."

LAKELAND CONGRATULATED
ON SECURING THE COLLEGE
FROM SEC. HOLWORTHY

Teiegram:
ciamOI OF the man who Is con.
Stantly saying that such and such
n thing cannot be done Is often
hushed by the noise made by the
man who Is doing It. This has
been and Is today well exempll-
fled In the location OF Southern
College at Lakeland. There were
few OF our citizens who Insisted
that the proposition was too big,
but. without dlscOVnting the size
Of the job, big men were found to
tackle it and Lakeland should be
proud ef them today, because
while realizing that all else would
have aYailed nothing ii the citi-
zenShlp generally had not rallied
to the cause with their generous
gifts, these men upon whom was
laid the burden OF engineering
the project, have at the cost of n
tremendous amount of energy,
persistence and patience, not to say
ability, contributed 70 the happy
result. The city owes Il debt OF
gratitude to the committee of the
Chamber Of Commerce and I am
proud to mention their names:
C. O. Pinch, A. F. Plckard, A. H.
DeVane, T. B. O'Steen and O. c.
Lanphear. Three of these men
sacrificed their own business in
terests for weeks In order to do
the Job which had been assigned
to them, and but for their abSo-
lutte refusal to be beaten by one
obstacle after another Lakeland
might not be, as she Is today,
more and more the envy Of many
of her older and larger sisters.
Congratulations to these men;
to this committee generally: con-
g"atulati0ns to the citizens who
furnished the material without
which the job could not have been
accomplished: congratulations to
Lakeland, the preferred site Of
Southern College.

LOYALTY BASIS OF

Every Citizen Owes Moral and

Loyalty is the foundation upon
which the whole structure of ciyiliza-
ton rests. Loyalty to ones country,
loyalty to ones state, loyalty to ones
city, loyalty to ones business asso-
ciates, loyalty to ones friends! 10y
atty is essential to the ordinary prog
ress of the world. Without it the world
must be chaos.
There would be no stable govern
ment in the world were it not for the
loyalty of the people to their gov
eminent. There would be no success
full business enterprise on the face of
the globe were it not for the loyalty
nected with it, No church could ex-
list for month were it not for the
loyalty of its members. The sacred
ness of the home would be a myth
were it not for the loyalty of the
members of the family group.
The loyalty of people to it's gov
eminent is based partly upon senti-
ment and partly upon the recognition
of an obligation that a people owes
to it's government. A people that has
the benefit of good government owes
duty to that government. Those who
do not recognize this duty and per-
form it voluntarily are compelled by
law to do so. The man or woman who
is protected by the government in the
pursuit of life and happiness. must con-
tribute in money and service toward
the support of the government. The
man or woman who, under the protec-
ton of his government which pre-
serves law and order is able to ac-
cumulate property, must pay taxes on
that property to help maintain the gov
eminent which has protected him or
her. In time of war the government
has the right to call upon its citizens
to take up arms in it's defense.
Loyalty Moral Obligation.
In governmental affairs these things
are regulated by law, and the man
who receives the benefit of orderly
government is required to fulfill the OBJ
legation which that entails. but in the
