CARE DECLARES

Senlis, France.-Premieri POincare
proclaimed the French governments
unalterable decision resolutely to stand
for the complete execution Of the Ver-
sailles peace treaty with the German
debt at 10000. 100000 gold marks. as
agreed upon by the allies at the Lon
don conference, and against any inter-
national financial committee to re-
place the reparations commission.
Poincare said France had finished
the making of concessions to Ger
many She was tired of. temporizing
with that country. The premier's
strongly worded address, while care
fully refraining from mentioning the
speech of Stanley Baldwin, the British
prime minister, in the House of Com
| mons last week, is considered as the
French governments preliminary an
| swer to- the British position with re-
gard to the occupation of the Ruhr.
N. Poincare chose for his pro-
nouncement this town, which marks
the farthest advance Of the Germans,
and where the Germans executed hos
tages, placed civilians in the line Of
the French fire and burned part of the
town ina reprisal against allowed civil
resistance.
The premier based his conclusions
on Frances legal right under the
treaty signed by twenty nations, and
which cannot be considered, after four
years, as an antediuvian FOSSIL"
France, said NJ. Poincare. had been
no better treated In reparations than
in the concessions wrung from her and
the security denied her.
I'm the reparation commission, es-
tablished under the treaty. he said,
I'VE are In the minority, although ours
is the major interest Nevertheless it
has been sought for four years to re-
lieve this commission of its powers, to
replace 1t with international financial
committees so as to attempt to
coalesce against us interests opposed
| to ours. -
| The premier said France was re-
preached for not having sufficient re-
gard for Germany and for exposing
her to disaster that would affect all
other nations.
''And YETI he declared has not
Germany been so well looked after.
During three whole years that. She has
been allowed to default on all her OBJ
legations, so that we hade TO pay with

she owed us and has not paid. Has
she not been allowed to rebuild her
commercial fleet and develop her can-
| aals and railroads and enrich her great
Industries ut the expense OF her cred
itors?''
NJ. Poincare asked If anyone imag-
med that Germany would stabilize the
mark and put her house IN order, IF
France watched with arms FOLDED"
For three years. he said, "the al
les have followed this mirage, and for
three years things have been going

ued to slip into the abyss she dug, but
we would have been empty-handed,

SCI F FRANCE and Italy are willing.
Great Britain will assume the
responsibility of preparing reply for
the allies to the latest German repa-
rations note. The government aims
solely at the pacification Of Europe
and the recovery of the exhausted
world. We, like our allies, are deter
mined that Germany shall pay all she
can; but we feel that to seek to force
her to pay in excess Of her capacity is
futile. We said the French occupa-
tion of the Ruhr would not be finan-
cial success, and 1t isn't. Europe Is
alarmed by the threatened total col
lapse of Germany. The recovery of the
world is in danger. Peace Is at stake"
That. briefly summarized, Is the
statement made to the house Of COM
mons by Premier Baldwin and to the
house Of lords by Marquis Curzon last
Thursday afternoon. 1t was made clear
that Great Britain. while earnestly de-
string unified action by the allies,
would act alone II that extreme course
were necessary. What the British pro-
posals in the contemplated note will
be is not stated.
| Mr.. Baldwin, while admitting that
the German proposals set forth in the
recent note were unsatisfactory and In
sufficient, declared they should not be
ignored, but should be examined and
explored. He was especially out
spoken concerning the Ruhr situation,
asserting that indefinite occupation by
one country of the territory of another
in time Of peace was rare and regret
table phenomenon, an honorable end
for which should be found as speedily
as possible. 5
Debate on the statement In the house
sof commons, 1t was decided by the
parliamentary leaders, should be post
poned until July 10 in order that the
attitude of other countries toward the
pronouncement might be learned. Dur
1ng the discussion. 1t is expected, the
plan Of an international commission Of
experts to determine Germany's finan-
cial resources, as suggested by Secre-
tary of State Hughes, will be brought
forward.
Pressure from business and labor
practically forced the Baldwin cabinet
to take the course announced. 1t has
the warm support Of the Labor party
in parliament and of most Of the in
fiuential newspapers.
XXyHAT France will do in this crisis
w Is problematical at this writing.
In the senate Thursday Premier Poin-
care said: n am confident; ! am not
worried. II England breaks away from
us she will soon be back at our side.
Germany will wait in vain for single
moment OF weakness on our part.
France will finish what she has begun /;
she will continue until the collapse Of
German resistance. We cannot accept
any mediation between France and
Germany"
Italy, II is believed, will give its ap-
proval to the British plan. and 1t may
be that the little entente and Poland
will back 1t up, though France has beer

BRUNSWICK, April 28.-R. w.
Deem, young white man, claiming to
be from Tulsa, Okla, who has been
in Glynn county jail for several
weeks, was released by order of
Judge f. C. Butts, in the city court,
when the defendant entered pleas Of
guilty on three charges of cheating
and swindling.
Deem arrived in Brunswick in an
automobile, with his wife and three
children, and within short time had
passed several worthless checks on
merchants for goods purchased, re-
ceiving the difference din cash. At his
trial in the city court the jury made
mistrial, but Judge Butts ordered
the young man held for the superior
court
On account of the fact that his
wife and children were in need, and
the further fact that Deem agreed
to reimburse his victims, he was al

in each case. The total fines
amount to $125.00, or the alterna-
tive of serving six months on the
chaingang. Deems relatives came to
his rescue and the fines and amounts

and, like the tabled demons Of the
Andes, Acklin's hired warriors
crashed into the bewildered Basques.
To get away as quickly as possible
seemed to be the one ambition of
most Of the men from the valley.
Little. Salvador and four or five
others, however, fought their way to
Esteban's side and tried to return
the fire of Acklin's riders. But every
time the Double A guns roared and
ripped wide the darkness, some one
deserted.
The firing continued. Salvador
looked for his companions. Only
Esteban, Romero, and he were left,
Then seeing the battle was hopeless,

TY COBB FIGURES

The Georgia Peach Set On Max
ing Several New Records
Before Season Ends

DETROIT, April 28.-It's a cinch
that Ty Cobb, great as he IS, cannot
10 on forever.
With that in mind Cobb is hopeful
of turning several stunts this sum-
mer that will give him undisputed
right to a number of records.
1t is questionable if Cobb viii play
regularly over three years more. He
admits that old Father Time is be-
ginning to get in his work, that the
legs are not a supple as they once
were, although the eyes seem as
good as ever.
Here are a few things that Cobb
hopes to do this year:
Bat 300 or better. So doing will
break the tie that now exists with
Hanks Wagner, each having turned
that trick for II consecutive years.
Make 200 or more hits. That viii
also break tie with Wagner Each
has turned such a feat in e. IT Of
their campaigns on the diamond.
If Cobb should pass the 400 mark
it will also break two other ties
Cobb and Jesse Burkett have each
had three seasons in which they bet
tered the 400 mark. Like Burkett,
Cobb has twice bettered the 400
mark in consecutive years.
Thus, it is evident, that aside from
managing the Tigers, fobb has a
big year ahead # he is to turn some
Of the tricks that he has in mind.

to the entrance of Smoky Canon.
He turned his horse into the long
er trail that led to the fence and up
to the Chimney. AS he did so, a
gun flashed from the rim-rocks above
him. His horse jumped, and Jose
lurched and fell head foremost to
the ground. He rolled over on his
side in a brief CONFUSION and then
lay still. No moan or sigh Of pain
escaped him.
Jose's horse started at his fallen
master He came close and nudged
him with his nose. But the wide
open, unseeing eyes of the man who
had ridden him so long were glazed
