BULL DENIES
HINT OF C0LLUSISA
DIDN'T WINK AT SINKING OF
GERMAN FLEET.
EMBASSY GIVES STATEMENT
Clemenceau Says He Did Not Charge
Great Britain With "WilfulIy"
Permitting the Warships
To Be Sunk.

Washington-The recent declaration
by former Premier ~Clemenceau, of
France, that Great Britain had Sc
cured a guarantee of safety, by per.
hitting the sinking Of the surrendered
German fleet in Scapa Flow, was en-
phatlcally denied by the British gov.
eminent here through the British en-
bassy.
The embassy issued a statement
upon instructions from the British
government denying M. Clemenceau's
implication that the British govern
ment had wilfully permitted the sink.
ing of the German warships which
had been turned over as prizes of
war, and were subsequently sent to
the bottom by their German crews.
Washington government officials
would not comment on the British IN.
bassy statement, which was as fol-
lows:
M. Clemenceau is reported in the
press as having stated in a speech
made by him on November 81, at the
Metropolitan opera house, New York,
that Great Britain let it (the German
fleet go to the bottom of Scapa Flow
and thus secured her guarantee.
The British embassy is authorized
to declare that any suggestion that
the British government wilfully al.
lowed the German fleet to be sunk at
Scapa Flow is not only untrue, but
without any possible foundation in
fact. BY the terms Of the armistice,
in the negotiations for which France
was n of the principals, the British
authorities were not permitted to
place any guard on board the German
vessels, and they were, therefore, un.
able to take any measures to prevent
the German crews opening the sea
cocks, The British authorities DOW
ers were confined to insuring that the
fleet did not steam out to sea or open
fire.
"a statement in the above terms
was issued by the British government
on Dune Il, 1919, a few hours after
the German fleet had been sunk"

WHITE SOUTHERN DIToR
CALLS KU KLUX INSULT
TO THE WHITE RACE"

The Ku Klux Khan is being repu-
dated in the south, according to ex-
tracts from an editorial of the Green's
boro, n. C., Daily News, made public
by the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People, 20
Fifth avenue, New York.
The existence of the Ku Klux is an
insult to the white race" says the
editorial. at is an admission that we
cannot defend ourselves except by a
towards weapons.
"And when that order breaches the
poisonous doctrine that the Negro is
not entitled to the right of fair trial
in open court and to the equal protec-
ton of the laws, because he is not 100
per cent American, we think of those
huddled crosses in the moonlight by
one of the rivers of France. And
when officials of the government ally
themselves with that order, and when
a judge on the bench charged with the
sacred administration of justice. will
not deny that he is the head of that
reptilian order, We think of those
graves in France. And our impulse
is not one of pity for the Negroes,
for the Negroes have indicated them
selves. Our fear is for the nation that
threatens to abandon its own dead.

Shows How Funds Were Trimmed
Aid. Lyle strenuously defended the
financial policy of the council finance
committee. He said that the commit
tee limited its appropriations to, the
city's resources. AS showing how the
committee trimmed the estimate OF
needs presented by the department
heads the alderman presented the fol-
lowing table:

The table shows how the council

later how the appropriations were
further increased.
"A fair and impartial review" said
the alderman, "of the work of the
committee in providing for the en-
ployment of experts shows the IN
fairness of the criticisms that have
been made. The improvements in
connection with which the experts
were employed will approximate $780,
100000 and exceed by far in magni-
tude work of a similar nature done
during the entire previous history of
the city.
Percentage System Cut Out
THE finance committee recon-
mended and the council adopted a
plan to eliminate payments on the
percentage basis Aug. %, 1920, but
the ordinance was vetoed. This COM
mittee and the city council have in
their budget in 1921 and in 1922
eliminated any basis for payment of
compensation on a percentage plan.
and If any such payments are made,
they are made without the authority
of the city council"
Among the merits of the council,
Aid. Lyle said that the finance COM
mittee in conjunction with the fire de-
partment adopted three year pro-
gram for the motorization of the FIRE
apparatus, which through the savings
effected finances itself" He went on:
"The league did not mention that.
The finance committee this year has
had an audit made of the city's looks,
the first la twenty years. 1t is hav-
ing an audit made of the books of the
board of education to install econ
omies and reduce taxes. The council
voted to have survey made of all
departments, but II was vetoed
Some think they are ordained and
called by God to pass judgment on
aldermen, trustee and congressman,
but | believe that a greater per cent
will be returned at this election than

be INDICATED from the many untruth-
full statements printed about them"
The council passed a resolution
directing the finance committee to
prepare . record of council achieve
ments for the year. Which indicates
that certain aldermen will wage a
strenuous battle with the league this
year.
