FAVOR RANGER WORK
Business Mems League Passes Resolu.
items on Work of State Officers.

The Business Mems League of the
First Baptist Church went on record
Sunday morning in favor of enforce
.ment of law and endorsed the action of
state officials in their effort to clean
up San Antonio. Following the teach
ing of the class by ]. W. Clayton reso-
buttons regarding law enforcement were
offered by Lee Hickerson and were
adopted unanimously.
The resolutions were as follows:
Whereas. the Business Mems
League of the First Baptist Church of
San Antonio, with membership of
go business men and voters of the
city is uncompromisingly in favor of
the enforcement of law and order and
unfolding the dignity of the state and
nation. desires to go on record in favor
of such law enforcement.
Therefore. be it resolved, that the
Business Mems League gives its hear
test endorsement TO the action of the
state authorities in their efforts to
clean up and eradicate vice conditions
in the city of San Antonio, and hope
and trust that they will be successful
in cleaning up vice conditions and law
breaking not only in San Antonio but
in other parts of the state as well.
Whereas, the man who buys boot
leg whiskey, no matter what his stand
ing in society, is rs reprehensibile as
the bootlegger himself as law viola
tor.
Resolved that we call upon citi-
zens whether their violations are
thoughtless or premeditated. to show
their patriotism by reforming their
ways and joining the ranks of the
law abiding.
Resolved, further that the Bust
ness Mems League stands ready to
assist the state authorities in any
way and at all times in the enforce
ment of the law.
Resolved. that copy of these reso-
lutions be furnished the governor OF
the state, the adiutant general and
the daily papers"

POINCARE PLEADS
FOR CONTINUATION
OF THE ENTENTE
Refutes Baldwin's Charge
That Ruhr Occupation
Illegal.
by the Associated Press.

Paris, Aug. 2O.-The impression
drawn from Premier Poincare's address
at Charleville is that France does not
desire to see an end of the entente and
that she hopes way to an agreement
with. Great Britain can be found.
Refuting many of the statements
made in the recent noe of MARQUIS
Curzon-especially the argument that
the Ruhr occupation is illegal-he re.
ferred TO the alliance of the World
War. and pointed out that friendships
which remain sacred through hurri.
canes become neglected when the temp
est has abated." He added:
AS far as we are concerned. we
should consider as criminal any act or
word which would tend to disturb or
weaken this alliance. We have made
and will continue to make all efforts
to seek with them such alterations as
concerted action may bring to their
sufferings."
Turning to the question of British
trade and the effect of tn, Ruhr oc-
cupation upon it. the premier said that
British statistics show an increase in
the tonnage value of exports and i'm
ports during the first months of this
year as compared with 1922.
Il do not conclude that England has
profted By the Ruhr occupation as l
should have wished and as she Light
have profited if she had been by our
side in the Ruhr, but l have the right
to say that if there are too many I'M
employed in England. General De-
goutte has nothing to do with it," he
added.
The Ruhr occupation, he asserted. is
not illegal. inasmuch as the Versailles
treaty and collective allied declarations
recognize the right of the Allies to oc-
cupy additional territory as security
for reparations payments.
Peace" he said, '"entails the loyal
execution of treaties signed, and jus.
tice exacts complete reparation for
damages caused.
sFrance demands nothing else and
England cannot desire anything differ
ent. Surely way of agreeing to-
gether must be found"
1t is understood that the French re-
ply to Lord Curzon's note will be sent
to London tomorrow.
