OF the London conference OF the al
lies premterS gives one the impress
sion that Great Britain is already
assured the desired support of the
United States-in fact, that word had
been indirectly received from Wash
ington that the United States stands
squarely against the occupation Of
the Ruhr.
This Information, received through
the most reliable channels, seems TO
have given rise to most favorable

Danger Seen Ahead.
From the British point Of view the
French effort to force Germany into
an economic alliance with her seems
fated to bring the worst possible re-
suits for every one. Both Great
Britain and France need Germany's
industrial help, but whereas France
would coerce Germany's industrial
leaders into cooperation with French
take the milder course of insisting
upon reasonable Teparations. but
helping Germany in her weakness.
The British know full wcll how i'm
portant role industrial Germany
must play in Europe's future, but
they do not want to fight France

the same position as a creditor firm

truth is France could never get more
than so cents on the dollar any how,
and in being persuaded to accept that
amount she would not really be giving
up the other SO cents. because it is
impossible Of collection.

 Borrowing Money.
 There has been some talk about building schools on borrowed money. The administration admits borrow ing money last fall when the enor- nous taxes of the large corporations were tied up by legal entanglements and considers that 1t was good bus mess to do that rather than retard the work of school buildings so much needed by the children of the county.
 The administration claims that during the past six years more has been done for the schools of Jeffer- son county than In the previous 50 years. The record of facts presented by the administration and printed in the Birmingham newspapers bears out this claim.
 Among other substantial improve ments have been these: School term lengthened from seven to ninc months salary of white teachers raised from $4z0 to S1,100 value of school property increased from S25O.- QUO to over s2,00o.000; high school education placed within reach oi every child in Jefferson county; county has completed a school build Ing every month during the past foui

 He never wrote letters to any one, except his wife. And I kne W that he hated to write those. In fact 1t was one of the things that he hated to do above all else because
 it is one of those things that she in- sisted upon his doing when he was away from her.
 Although he never said anything about it-indeed. I have never hear him speak of her except in terms of the utmost respect when he spoke of her at all--yet think her insistence upon his daily letters had a great influence upon his steadily waning affection for her.
 I do not believe that a slave evcr has any real affection for his master. Do you. pr. Georse?' 4 That is a debatable question: P commented Davis.
 Any way" proceeded Dr. Georgc as though Davis had not interrupted him. Margaret told me that Harry wrote her but two letters. Each one of them on the Christmases of the two years in which their friendship was at It's peak. All the rest of the time he wired or used the long dis tance telephone"

One card of the opposition to MT. Moore and Dr. Wilson Is understood to be the employment of seven super visors.

 The administration sets forth that contracts for schools have been let on competitive bids and in open meetings to the lowest responsible bidder. The system of letting con tracts being on competitive bids and in the open there has been no after clap from that source and 1t is ad- mitted in building circles that the county has gotten the value of It's money in every building that has been erected.
 This is the administration that 1t Is sought to overthrow. In a vague way it has been claimed that the overhead has been heavy. On the other hand 1t Is shown that the over head has been three per cent com pared with 12 per cent for many city administrations.
