 Order of Court

country which has expressed by the ballot it's preference for the Irish Free State form of government 1t Is further stated in the application that the Irish Free State is prepared to make good the bonds of that na- tion and that the quickest way to end the present revolt is to deprive De- valera and his aides of funds from this country.
 Intrusted to Trustees.
 All checks on these funds were deposited in Devaleras name up to the time of the signing of the Irish peace treaty. 1t was said today. The money was under the jurisdiction of three Bishop Fogarty, James O'Mara and Devalera. They in return were responsible to the Dali Eireann.
 Opponents of Devaiera charged that in spite of their protests, not less than $250000 was withdrawn from the Irish funds in this city during the early part of this year. There was begun some time ago a series of inquiries concerning the ex- act status of the funds. Those who opposed Devalera charged they could obtain no information from him and that legal proceedings were thus necessitated.
 The firm of attorneys representing the Irish Free State officials today deposited with the county clerk a bond of S50,000 guaranteeing the good faith of the applicants. The funds involved are represented by s1,500,o00 in securities and ss00,000 in cash.

 Montgomery, August 21.-(Special) Corporal punishment, which was abolished in all state prisons by Gov ernor Kilby a month ago. will be abandoned in all county convict camps without dalay Governor Kitoy today directed William F. Feas!n, state warden general 10 prepare rules and regulations which will pro- ldbit the use of the strap in each county camp in Alabama.
 The new plan has proved sue cess in the state prisons during the first month, according to Governor Kilby. and he believes 1t will be sue cessful in the county camps. The code gives the governor and the convict department authority to pre- pare and enforce rules and regula- tions Cor the government and pro- teetion of all county cohviets.
 It is probable that the governor s latest order has resulted from com plaints abopt alleged brutality in the Etowah county convict camp. Or. Glenn Andrews, state prison inspec- tor. made thorough investigation of the complaints last week. He had intended to file his report with the governor Monday but was prevented by Illness.
 Although Dr. Andrews report will indicate that conditions were not IS bad in the prison as they had been pictured. there were sufficient de- velopments to cause the governor to make his order applicable to the county camps. Instead of using the strap, the state will require the war dens of the county camps to impose solitary confinement and othe. grades of punishments upon unruly convicts.

Washington, August 21.-Senats re- publican leaders continued negotid- tions today for an unanimous consent agreement for final Senate vote on the soldiers bonus bill. but apparent ly with little prospect of immediate success
 The bonus measure is the Senate unfinished business and will be taken up after the Senate re-convenes WeI- nesday. Chairman McCumber of the finance committee plans a prepared address at the time in support of 1t and some majority leaders said that unless there was an agreement mean time for a time for the final vote the legislation would have to be fought out on the floor.
 Estimates as to time would be re- Quired to pass the measure In the absence of any agreement varied, bat 1t appeared that it might require sor- eral weeks.

 After the bonus is passed by the Senate--and the general belief at the capitol is that it will go through finally by a substantial majority--it would in the usual course, be sent to conference for the composing Gf differences between the Senate and House.

FRANCE ID FORCE
 GERMANY ID PAY,
 PREMIER ASSERTS
Will Collect Indemnity Even if Nation Must Act Alone, PoinCare Declares
 in Speech
By Associated Press

Barleduce, France. August 21.-- France is firmly determined to make Germany pay for the devastation she caused in the war and rather than de- part from this fixed intention, she will act alone, Premier Poincare de- clared at the opening meeting of the general counsel of the department of the Mouse today in a speech which is generally regarded as the com plete official declaration of French reparations policy.
 The necessity and justice of the payment of separations by Germany were emphasized by the French premier. who placed the blame of the present situation on the atti- tude of the commission on repara- tions and the failure of Great Brit ain to understand the desperate plight of her allies and the need for the payment of the indemnity. z M. Poincare recited figures In an effort to prove that Germany was responsible for her own collapse and had deliberately failed to live up to the demands of the reparations con- mission. He vigorously denounced that France sought to enslave Ger many in revenge for the devastation ot war.
 Must Have Compensation.
 Premier Poincare held out the hope of German and French cooperation with both nations working togetneS some day, if Germany would change her tactics and do her best to repair in peace the damage she caused in war. France was eager to cooperate with her allies. he said, but would take independent action rather than be deprived of her just compensation.
 The premier spoke at length of the divergent courses now being taken by France and England. He declared that 1t would only be natural that nations. like people should think first of their own interests. France could not continue to bear the burdens of all the allied compromises. He went on record as advocating an allied conference for the settlement of war debts which would be attended by all the nations interested without ex- ception. The latter phrase was taken to mean that he referred to the United States.

 You know, lot of us old tim CTS woke up yesterday to the fact that We are back numbers. We never believed in advertising. We do now.
