Paris, Nov. 14.-(By The Associ-
ated Press. )-Germany must find
some way of getting 100000, 100000
marks worth of grain to feed her
people during the next year, the
reparations commission learned in its
investigation In Berlin.
AS this amount is about double the
present total of paper money in
circulation in Germany, purchase of
the grain is deemed impossible ex-
cept through speedy financial rehabili-
tation of the country or food credits
from abroad. It seems to be gen
orally taken for granted that both
the credits and the food would have
to come from America.
The 800, ,0O0, ,000, 900 marks represent
Germany's import requirements for
the next II months of 100000 tons
of grains the minimum amount
thought necessary to prevent starva-
in foreign market would, in the
opinion of experts, cause COM
plete collapse Of the mark, with a
serious reaction in the exchanges Of
other European countries.
The only way in which Germany
can be saved from such a problem,
it is declared, is by stabilization of
the mark at figure which would
restore, in measure, international
confidence.
All the allied nations, including
France, realize the seriousness Of
the situation in Germany, but no
European country is able to export
the needed grain because of domestic
shortages. There is a possibility, the
experts say. that some grain may be
had from Russia, but America is ex-
pected to supply virtually all the
German needs.
Germany's food needs may serve to
hasten an agreement among the al
lies concerning Germany's repara-
tions, although up to the present
there has been no indication that
Premier Pioncarc has changed his
mind about the necessity of exact
ing further rigid guarantees as q
means of compelling the reich to meet
its indemnity payments.
The reparations problem is now in
suspense until after the British
elections, after which the commits
sion is expected to make one more
strenuous effort to agree on some
sound economic plan, in which sentl-
ment shall not play q part.
GERMANS OFFER PLAN.
Berlin. Nov 1.-THE German note
to the reparations committee. made
public here Tuesday, contends that
final sterilization of the mark can
only be possible after the reparations
question has been definitely settled
an accordance with Germany's capacity
to pay.
Since Germany cannot await such
a final settlement, she proposes a
provisional one, but, even to achieve
this, foreign assistance. must be
Forthcoming. The reichsbank is de- |
clared to be in readiness to place
500, ,00O, 600 gold marks at the disposal
of the government for the purpose
of sterilization.
The project, it is set forth, de-

yet of the effect of the strike on freight movement throughout the country. Car loadings are reported, however, to have shown a continued decrease Of small proportions since July l. The Cincinnati gateway, one of the most important bottle- necks in the country's transporta- tion system. Is somewhat conEested but the carriers are hopeful of clear ing it in reasonably short order.
 Loading Declines
 Tho last period for which car load ing figures are available Is the week ending July 1, or the seven days immediately prior to the beginning of tho shopmen's strike. Up to that time loadings of 960 cars--an almost imperceptible movement, but a straw in the wind, nevertheless--and since then they have gone lower. The Association of Railway executives, which makes public the figures each week. states that during the week ending July l coal loadings decreased 2,212 cars.
 Supply Depleted
 Coal stocks, according to the geological surveys estimate, have reached tho danger line of from 2o,- 000,oo0 to 24,000,0o0 tons. So active has the market become that Secre- tary Hoover has found 1t necessary to meet with representatives of the non-union mines for the second time, the meeting being held today, Tor the purpose of putting a check upon tho rising price tendency. Eighty per cent of the non-union mine operators, the department esti- mates, have not exceeded the Hoover price scale, but the remaining 20 per cent have seized tho opportuni- ty to profiteer. It Is that minority's activities today's meeting was called to suppress.
 Tho next two or three weeks, in the belief of officials here, will be somewhat In the nature of a test period for industry generally throughout the country. The combI- nation of n coal shortage and rail strike Is counted upon to slow down business to some extent, but the pe- riod of quiet, 1t Is believed, can be made short If the causes of the trouble are eliminated.
 Fear of Union
 One of the disturbing factors in Nhu PA cbtHt alNuhllOn lH NHo DOAbl- bllity of an offensive and defensive alliance between the striking groups whereby neither would return to work unless the others grievance were settled. There has been con- siderable talk here within the past few days of such an alliance and some indication that 1t was con- templated. but no official verifIca- tion of the reports has been ob- talned. Observers have based their belief that such a combination was in process of formation, or had ac- tually been formed, on the attitude of the mine workers toward Pres ident Harding's proposal for the settlement of tho coal strike.
 Without doubt there has been change in the miners attitude with in the past two weeks. A fortnight ago they would have welcomed with delight, according to all indications, an opportunity to return to work under the old wage scales. No such manifestation of satisfaction was evident at today's meeting of the miners policy committee, however.
 Bank deposits decreased by $46.- 900, 900 during the week and today are at the level of five weeks ago. according to the federal reserve boards weekly statement.

for big creditors like France if there exists on the side of Germany a sin cere will to pay and on the side or the allies a determination 10 make Germany pay. These sentiments ought to have been manifested earlier but 1t is never too late to mend.
 What rendered the moratorium in- evitabIe was the indescribable disor- der of Germanys finances. There fore, we should have been busying ourselves with this matter during the last two years, but since We did mot, then that is what we now must do. But that is one thing the Eng fish press does not suggest. Instead fit proposes to pell mell assemblage of the allied finance ministers, meeting of the supreme council, an international loan or further reduc- tion of Germany's debt.
 Business Proposition
 While we admit Germany must have more time 1t is our duty to see that Germany uses the time to put herself In position to pay. In short, 1t Is the same old problem. Some means must be found whereby Ger many will pay an annuity which will guarantee the credits discussed by the bankers committee two months ago. If this is achieved France Is prepared to make sacrifices but she won't so long as there is no sugges- tion of offering some assurance of ul- timate payment.
 Solutions Vague
 That is simple enough but Lloyd George and his journalistic support CTS arc blaming France for not ac- cepting the vague solutions which he so glibly offers. France holds back because these proposed solu- tons are vague and because she has no reason to curtail her rights while there Is no compensating advantage to be had. That Is simple common sense as any American business man will agree.
 Poincarc's great mistake is that during tho last six months he has done nothing to formulate criticisms and reservations. Thus he let slip the opportunity to ask Britain to aid him effectively during the morato- rum. I fear this opportunity Is lost for the moment but if France knows It's own mind and has a constructive policy of its own 1t will come again.
 The summer begins full of threats and grave responsibilities. Who will boldly face the first and manfully ac- cept the second?

COTTON WAREHOUSE SUFFERS B|G LOSS
Two Prominent Chambers County Men Charged With
 Peonage

Opelika, July 15.--(Speciai.)-The large warehouse at Bleeckers. near Smiths Station. caught fire Wednes- day morning about 2 o'clock. and part of the building was destroyed before the flames were extlnguished The night watchman at the COOK Lumber yards discovered the fire, and a hose was connected with the boiler of that plant. The fire was placed under control only after about half of the building was destroyed. Quite a lot of cotton was in the building at the time. and about 100 bales were destroyed, but it Is thought this was covered by insuf- ance.
 Two Make Bond
 George and Page Adams, two pros porous land owners of Chambers county, have been charged by the government of the offense of peon- age, and on being brought before Joe Brown Duke, commissioner. this morning, they each waived a prelimi- nary hearing. and their bonds Tor their appearance at the federal court, in the event of their indictments for those offenses, were fixed at S750.
 The Gulf Refining company .)f Louisiana, catching the spirit of progress evidenced by every one in Opelika of late, has erected . hand- some and well equipped filling sta tion on Geneva street. which will not only prove beneficial in financial way. but it will add to the beauty and value of the property In the neighborhood of its location.
 Mrs. Thelma Dozier, who has just suffered the misfortune of having her stock of millinery and ladies goods destroyed by fire and water in this city, has given notice that she will. as soon as insurance matters/are adjusted. open up a new store in Opelika. the location of which will be decided upon later.
 Sells 1000 Bales
 W. P. Davis, one of the wealthiest and most prominent citizens of Ope- lika, made one of the largest sales of spot cotton Thursday. that was ever made in the history of the city, when he sold to Joe s. Bell, local cotton buyer, 1000 bales of cotton. The average grade of this cotton was good. and 1t netted the seller quite a large sum of money.
 pr. George H. Cooper, an eye, nose and throat specialist of thls city. was signally honored by the late Chattahoochee Valley Medical and Surgical association held at Warm Springs. Ga.. when he was unani- mously chosen by the delegates there as the president of that organ ization for the next year. pr. W. J. Love of this city was reelected the secretary of the association. he hav- ing held that office since its organ ixation aeyeraI wears ago.

PEN|TENT PLEA
 MADE BY GOLFERS
Many Debarred From Miss. Primary Ask For ReinState-
 ment, Denied

Jackson, Miss. July 15,-(Special) Speaking of the action of the state democratic executive commit tee in barring a few thousand one time democrats from the polls in the August primary, Judge Robert Pow ell, chairman of the committee, says that some of the penitents are pro- claiming that they have reformed; that they are sorry they bolted the party because of their dislike to for mer President Wilson. and that they are now anxious to get back into the democratic party.
 Left to Mourn.
 Repentance Is always wholesome" says Judge Powell. "and we are glad to hear 1t, but they will have to stay on the mourner'H bench awhile. The state committee acted within It's le- gal authority in requiring that bolt CTS be barred from the August pri- mary, and that republicans and so- clallsts, who have freely participated in our party primaries in the past. also bs prevented from taking part In the election.
 ''It Is important. therefore. that county executive committees and election officers see that this rule Is enforced. and that true-blue demo- crats remain at the polls on election day to challenge all efforts at H. legal voting. There was not n dis senting vote In the state committee when this rule was adopted, and there should be no dissent in the election precincts or any violation of tho or der. If the bolters, republicans and socialists, want to avoid unpleasant ness they will stay away from the polls on August IS.
