one bridge was included in the con-
tract, it being the understanding that

build other bridges on said roads
known as the Black Lake Bridge,
and the Black Lake Slough Bridge
at the Mounce crossing should be
built under an extension of said con-
tract, and,
WHEREAS, the Police Jury finds
that there are sufficient funds with
which to build these bridges, and
that it can build them at a very
much lower cost by buying the ma
terial itself and hiring someone to
build them, and very much cheaper
than price quoted by Carr Construc-
ton Company to apply increase

tract is made.

son to haul the lumber and plllng
from the railroad or such other
nlace that it may be obtained and
to put same in place at price OF
exceeding Twenty cents O25)
per foot for putting the pl',ng in
place and Twenty $4,000 Dollars
per thousand for hauling and putting
the lumber and decking in place.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED,
That the contractor be required to
give bond with good and solvent
sureties as provided by law for the
faithful performance of the work OF
building said bridges with the ma
| terial purchased by the Police Jury

Paris. Aug. 4. y
France will take reprisal measures
against German nationals in Alsace-
Lorraine on Monday, only if the Ger
man note which is on the way here
does not offer the slightest basis for
continuing negotiations over debts
contracted by Germans with French
citizens before the war.
Although the measures If taken
would mark a serious step and would
introduce new bitterness in the
Franco German dispute. the feeling
here tonight was that the Germans
have not sent another fiat refusal,
despite the press indications to this
effect.
Significant, however, of how seriously
the Germans themselves view the situa-
tion arising over the ultimatum regard
ing private claims. is the fact that in
the last two days large German banks
have transferred TO Swiss and Dutch
banks some 20 600. 900 i'm French francs
which had been deposited in American
and other foreign banks here. This
probably was due to the fear of con-
fiscation by the French Government for
the purpose of applying the money TO
the German debt account.
From what can be learned of the
reprisal measures which were approved

no hesitation in saying that her action
prolonged the war probably by couple
Of years.
Mr.. LLOYD George asserted that the
collapse of Russia was almost entirely
due TO Turkeys action.
1T would never have happened" he
declared. ''if the Black Sea had been
free The same applies to the collapse
of Rumania.
The Premier said IL was mistake
to suppose that the occupation of
Smyrna and the proposals Of the treaty
of Seyres were entirely the work OF
Great Britain. as whatvwas done was
the work Of the commission appointed
by the great Powers in Paris.
He said II was true that atrocities
had been committed by Greek soldiers.
but the allied commissions inquiries had
shown that the Turkish atrocities were
greater. In the Pontus region, he said.
tens of thousands of men, women and
children were deported and tens of thou
sans were dying. In view of such con-
ditions. he said he thought the Greeks
were justified in demanding guarantees
OF protection before the allied troops
retired.
I'VE have to hold the balance just and
fair between both parties" he continued.
TT is not a question of Moslem and
Christian. 1t Is 4 question OF human
ity."
He said the responsibility for the es-
tablishment of peace must be that OF the
Allies and they had a right to say that
they would make no peace which would
place hundreds OF thousands of helpless
people at the mercy of those guilty of
atrocities in the Pontus region without
guarantees.
