BERLIN AWAITS NOTE
Germans Tn Withhold Protest On De- cision Of Allied Council
 Hsy Associated PreSS.)

BERLIN, Dec. 27.-Until it is in possessien of formal notification from the allied council of ambassador that the Cologne bridgehead would not be evacuated January 10, in accordance with the treaty of Versailles, the Ger man government will not undertake diplomatic action in the nature of a protest or suggestion that the issue be made the subject of negotiations for the purpose of reaching a definite under standing with the occupational powers regarding their future attitude on the whole range of prOglems affecting the Cologne zone and the Ruhr.
 Official quarters also declined to dis cuss the action taken at Paris today, and for the present are confining their comments to sharp refutation of charges that Germany is still harboring con cealed arsenals and that her steel plants are equipped to turn out big guns.
 Whether the MarxStresemann cabi- net will still be at the helm when the issue comes up for formal action is still matter of conjecture, as the newly elected reichstag will convenexon Jan- uuary ,. and President Ebert is said to be desirous of bringing the present cabinet crisis to a definite conclusion by that time.
 The German newspapers. regardless of party utilization, are unanimous in their protest against the continued oc- equation of Cologne, although private sentiment so far as they are given untrammelled expression, admit that the presence of the English on the RhinelGnd might after all be desirable so long as the French and Belgians are in the Ruhr.

SALTVILLE HUNTS ITS EIGHT MISSING IN MUCK TRAGEDY
Several Of P Dead Are Buried-Other Tuner
 als Are Announced
(By Associated Press ]

SALTVILLE, Va, Dec. 27-Funeral services for the dead; a never-ending. but fruitless search for those still miss ing; treatment and care for the injured in the emergency hospital here, were the wearisome loads under which the heart sick people of Saltville labored today as the continuation of one of the disasters at Saltville on Christmas eve when thOu- sands of tons of slimy, burning, white muck ran over barrier, snuffing out the lives of twenty-two and leaving the horror-stricken survivors to search for eight, which are still missing.
 None of the bodies of the eight who are still missing was found today. but Mir. Wiley, assistant manager of the Mathieson alkali works, declared to- night that the search for bodies would be continued until the last vestige of hope of finding them had been given up. A corps of 150 or more of the company's men were busy grappling in the muck all day yesterday and today, but today their work was futile.
 The bodies of Mrs. George Stout and her two children were taken to Green dale where they were buried this aft ernoon.
 The tired and worn people of Salt vile paid last tribute to Emory Clear, aged z, who was buried here this aft -ernoon. Funeral services also were held here for the two children of Mir. and Mrs. J. V. Walk, Laura, aged [, and an infant, after which the bodies were inferred in the cemetery here.
 Mfr. and Mrs. Harry Prater and two children were removed in the Alderson cemetery this afternoon. Funeral serv- Ices will be held for Mrs. Ernest John son at Blackwell chapel at 2 o'clock to- morrow afternoon.

FRANCE DEMANDS. COMPLETE PROBE. OF GERMAN ARMS.
Allied Council Orders Co., lOgne Evacuation Be
 Extended
(By Associated PreSs)

PARIS, Dec. 27.-Germany's alleged violations of the treaty of Versailles in respect to armaments were registered today by the allied council of ambassa- dors. The council instructed its secre- tary to draft note notifying the Ger man government that the Cologne bridgehead will not be evacuated, as stipulated in the treaty, January 10.
 The allied ambassadors are unanim- ous in stating that Germany is re-arm- ing and that progressive withdrawal from the Rhineland must await fur ther investigation of the interested gov ernments. There was a difference of opinion, however, as to the importance of the treaty violations and the conse- ouent menace to the security Of the ai- lies
 Great Britain seemed inclined to minimize specific cases of violation re- ported by the military control mission, although agreeing that further light must be had on this matter before a final decision is reached. The French and Belgians regarded the alleged dis coveries of newly prepared parts for 10000 machine guns, camouflaged in various ways, as alarming.
 France Springs Jolt
 The stiff attitude of the French gov ernment. which favored an immediate decision that the Cologne bridgehead be held immediately pending absolute com pliance with the Versailles treaty by Germany, surprised the diplomats in view of the fact that Premier Herriot's s foreign policy has been based largely on A French German entente.
 This attitude of the French IS ex' plained in political circles as proceeding from a conviction on the part of the premier that responsibility for the so- colled violations of the armament clauses of the treaty will be fixed upon the nationalists of Germany and that the final reaction will favor the social democrats in Germany and facilitate the formation of an anti-natlonallst government in Berlin.
 Support HerriOt
 The socialist organs here, which are supporting the Herriot government, back up the premier strongly in his firm stand, although the press, generally considers that the exposure of Ger many's persistence in ignoring her agreement to disarm has greatly weak ened the position of the French gov ernment because of the confidence on which it had banked upon the dispo- sition of the Germans to reach a com plete entente with France.

Patriotic Day At Shiloh

Your attention is again called to the fact that the Emancipation proclama- tion will be celebrated at the Shiloh Baptist church, corner Ninteenth street and Avenue c, Thursday January 1 IT a. m. The committee of arrange ments is busy ill the effort to make the occasion interesting and profitable.
 Three bands of music have been em- ployed, and a competent chorister has been secured to look after the vocal music.
 All classes of our people, laboring, business and professional men, are help make the day the best that the citizens of Birmingham have witnessed.
 Watch Meetings In All Churches
 We gre not able to inform our read CTS just when this custom began. It is elder than the most of us who now live. It is sufficient to say that it grew out of an earnest desire on the part of the early Christians to take advantage of the passing out of the old year and the coming in of the new, to make new resolutions for better living and for deeper spiritual devotion. And they knew no better way to demonstrate their sincerity of purpose than by let ting the new year find them worship ping the Lord in His house, when the whistles announce the advent of the new year, many thousand persons will be found upon their knees giving thanks to God.
 Poularity Of White Christmas
 i. Nf churches known as White Christmas, are not popular because the decorations ,emaind one of .the snow covered eartn in most sections of the country at this season. nor because it may allude as V symbol to purity of heart and ln- nocence of life, but because the methoa of observing it portrays the spirit or unselfishness and altruism. The exer- cises ot the Sixteenth Church Sunday night. December 2S, will verify this. In addition to the singing by chours or ,,ounr people, there will be two short rlays. One is entitled "No Room in the Inn" the other, The Perfect Gift. In the former Dr. B. J. Anderson will take the role of Joseph, and Mrs. J.. E. Hutchinson, that of Mary. H. J. Filing ton will be the Inn keeper. Mrs. Alice Garner will have charge of the rendition of the Perfect Day. And many of the younger set will be participants. The last number will be that of the shepherd who did not come. The entire offering will be fo rthe poor and needy. This IS a splendid opportunity for any one who desires to do a golden deed.

 Negro Business In Ensley
 According q to statistics business in nsley has undergone gradual in. crease, negroes are showing evidence of sharing in the progress. A business and professional directory has been pub. lished, and will be seen posted in the various negro business concerns. This directory has for its purpose the adver- Using of business and encouraging the people to do business in Ensley, and especially in their own localities. The ultimate object of the project is to in still ill the minds of the business and professional men the necessity of or ganization and cooperation.
 No large project has been undertaken by negroes, but statistics show that they are engaging themselves in every avenue of business. Small business firms are continually opening, and a few of the leading ones are expanding. It has been noticed particularly that the Shortridge Undertaking company located on Seventeenth street has moved into it's own nome of brick next door :c the old place. Their display stock will compare favorably with any busi- ness of the kind in the Birmingham district.
 Ensley negroes are setting pace. Let Birmingham negroes get together, and show them a few things.
