to the colored people who have
helped us in the search. II the man
is caught, justice will be admin
istered without aid of the lynch
law"

French Certain Germans
Will Refuse New Terms

PARIS, March 29.-After analyz-
ing the speech of Chancellor Wirth
to the reichstag-which cannot be
considered an actual reply to the de-
mands of the reparations commits
sion. although it is in effect an
official statement of the Berlin gov
ernment's policy-French officials
are convinced that Germany intends
to refuse to comply with the new
terms.
II the official reply to the repara-
tions commission follows the tone
of Chancellor Wirth's speech. the
difficulties now besetting the allied
commission will take a still more
serious trend, it is feared, for Eng
land is very unlikely to join France
in enforcing any ultimatum to the
Berlin government leading to an
other split in the entente's policy
towards Germany.
On Eve of Genoa.
The situation is particularly deli
cate from the French viewpoint,
since il comes on the eve of the Ge-
noa convention from which Premier
Poincare has repeatedly warned the
French delegates will withdraw IL
the questions Of disarmament, repa-
rations and existing treaties are
brought into discussion.
This would result, the Gaulois
fears, "in an isolated France facing a
coalition and solidarity of interests
which reach from London to Mos
COW by way of Berlin"
Furthermore, IL Is still not clear
whether the Italian delegates TO the
Genoa conference will consider
themselves bound by the agreement
between Lloyd George and Poincare
made at Boulogne, and this seems
to Justify Frances fear that the
italians will side with the British in
a scheme for the reciprocal annul-
ment of war debts which Germany
will claim is necessary IL central
Europe and Russia are to be recon-
structei. This would place France
in a minority and force her either
to Join the British Italian coali-
ton or arrange a separate agree
ment with Germany. This IL Is ad-
mitted. would be unfavorable and
impracticable.
Therefore, to avoid a reparations
muddle which would = completely
nullify the effect OF the Genoa con-
ference, It is believed in some po-
liticaI circles that the reparations
commission will redraft its demands
on Germany in an endeavor to
reach a solution before the interna-
tional convention

Unable TO Go South Because

Suit for Service

Horton Malone, legless man who,
with his wife and their assistant. John
Morrison, operates concessions at fairs
and carnivals in the South, ought to
be on his way there now in the auto
mobile Malone's father bought for
them, but the car has been attached
in q suit Henry Frank, an attorney, of
2 Rector Street. brought against Ma
lone to recover 500.
Consequently the Aialones are in
their room at the Hotel Marlborough
and are paying for another room at
the hotel where Malones mother stays.
Malone now goes out daily on a
wheeled platform, peddling pencils to
help pay their living expenses.
He declares the suit is no affair Of
his. He engaged the lawyer for his
assistant, Morrison, he says, and the
latter engaged another one before
Frank had done anything for him. If
anybody owes Frank anything in the
case, according to Malone, it is Nor
rison.
Mrs. Malone said her husband was
worried sick about the suit, neverthe-
less. as it was keeping him in New

to attend to business in the South.
