KING GERMAN SPY,
|BANEzDECLARES
Author Says Alfonso Gave
Berlin French Secrets
During War.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, November le. " icente
Blasco IhaneZ's manifesto against
King Alfonso of Spain, a pamphlet OF
100 pages, published in France, Eng
land and the United States today,
charges the King with being directly
and personally responsible for the
Spanish military disaster at Annual,
in Morocco, in 1921, in which Gen.
Silvestre and several thousand Span
ish soldiers were killed and thou
sands of others' made prisoners.
The noted Spanish author also
charges King Alfonso with betraying
the French by giving secret infor-
nation to the Germans during the
war.
Ibanez accuses Alfonso of having
written Gen. Silvestre j letter com
manding the Moroccan army to do
as I say" and adding: Don't bother
about the instructions of the minister
OF war. who is an imbecile."
Army Annihilated.
Gen. SilveStre advanced against the
advice of Madrid, says Ibanez, and
was surrounded and his army annihi-
lated
Concerning the alleged betrayal OF
the French, Ihanez charges that King
Alfonso. who had boasted of being Il
F'rancophile, one day discussed the
war situation with the French mill
tary attache and afterward when the
French had discovered the secret of
Germany's code, it was found that a
German agent had reported verbatim
everything the French attache had
said to the King.
The French attache subsequently
gave the King as test. adds Ibanez,
information which had no foundation,
and this was foupd to have been
transmitted within few hours to
Berlin by the German Ambassador

Shellman Citizen Dies
Following an Operation
Thought to Be Improving, and Death
Was a Shock to Community.

Thought to Be Improving, and Death
Was Shock to Community.
Our community was saddened by
the death OF Mr.. J. B. Self on March
10Th. He had been in the hospital at
Eufaula, Ala, for several days, where
he underwent an operation and, ap-
parently, was getting along very well,
and his loved ones had not anticipated
that the end was so near. He suddenly
suffered a relapse that his strength
could not endure and he quickly pass
ed out.
Mr.. Self resided in Shellman about
three years, having married Miss Ma
mic Hammack, of that place, who sur
wives him. He formerly resided in Tiff
ton.
Mr.. Self was a member Of the Bap-
fist church. and the entire member
ship Joins in sympathy with his be-
reaved ones. Many of his kinsmen
from other sections OF the state at
tended the funeral services, which were
held at the home, and interment at
New Prospect church, near Shellman.

producing in excess of the demand. it
is asserted, is already reflected in
some unfavorable factors of the past
few months.
Nothing will be a gain to agricul-
ture, these federal investigators declare,
if farmers who have been unfortunate
in other farm activities should venture
into dairying and produce a condition
that would compel those already in
this industry to get out because it had
become improbable.
Poultry in Same Boat.
A similar view is taken of poultry
production by the federal department.
Its expansion has been tremendous in
recent years and additional expansion
is predicted for this year. Consump-
ton has increased at a rate that has
maintained average prices to produc-
ers, it is declared, but with the ex-
pected increase of output prices must
inevitably be affected and the time
may be near when poultry will be
compelled to go through a disastrous
period of adjustment that may wipe
out some of the newcomers as well
as the least stable of the pioneers.
1t is apparent, say federal officials,
that agricultural production, which is
expected to be on a normal basis, will
be attended by the difficulties arising
from high wages and other COSTS loss
of farm workers and the general dis
parity between prices of farm and ur-
ban products.
Wisconsin, Minnesota and North
Dakota farmers report that they will
decrease spring wheat production
about 10 or IS per cent, but these
states, in addition to Iowa and Illinois,
will increase corn production from 8
to 10 per cent, department. reporters
declare
Minnesota farmers indicate an in
tention to increase haxseed acreage
about 80 per cent, with still larger
increases expected in Montana, North
Dakota and South Dakota.
On the other hand, it is expected
that there will be drastic reduction
of hog production, and the federal de-
partment declares that generally there
will be fewer animals to feed during
the year With an anticipated increase
of corn production it is apprehended
that price will be affected; to the Sc
rious detriment of corn growers.
