WASHINGTON, D. c., May 1O-Gar-
rard Winston, under secretary of the
treasury, who has been on an "unofh'

to probe the disquieting rumor that
the plan of Vice-President Dawes to
get reparations from Germany is
doomed to be a discredited failure,
has arrived in Washington and at
once went into confidential conference
with Secretary Mellon.
While no announcement is made,
private advices say that Winston is
very much depressed with the future
Of the Dawes plan, and that he shares
the gloomy opinion OF Reparation
Agent Seymour Parker Gilbert.

APPLECROP

Drouth Has Already Cut Pro-

Georgia Orchards =

ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. 4.-The
fruit made famous by Eve in the
Garden of Eden. otherwise the luci-
Gus apple, will not be as plentiful in
Georgia this season as heretofore
unless it rains and that pretty soon.
Growers are a bit apprehensive
over the drouth. They are now pre-
dieting shortage, probably half q
crop and necessarily some raise in
prices.
with a good season the late
Yates, Telrys, Black Twigs and
Winesaps, popular varieties Of Geor-
gin apples, will make just about
half crop" said one prominent
grower.
Despite the apparent shortage in
the crop, the quality of the fruit
was never better, growers assert. C.
R. Porter, Rome, Ga, capitalist who
owns large orchards in Polk and
HARRISON counties near Esom Hill
Ga, said today that the quality Of
Georgia apples this season will con-
tinue sustain the reputation as prize
fruit throughout the country. Many
growers, including the Porter
Bros. Farm Corporation, in which
Mr.. Porter is interested, will have
large exhibits at the Southeastern
Fair in Atlanta in October.

WASHINGTON Sept. big
navy men are getting ready to put
up stiff fight, not only against
the cut President Coolidge is under
stood to want, in the next appropria-
ton for warship building, but in
favor of much more liberal allow
ance than the present one.
Their argument is that the arm

resulted from the international con-
ference called by President Hard
ing to put stop to the race for
naval supremacy didn't in reality,
stop it, but simply changed it's form.
The United States, it's contended,
has assumed that the race was stop

torn silk and twisted and broken
aluminium of the cracked Shenan-

AS soon as the news Of the Shen-

point where the wrcckage had been
seen to fall. Soon automobiles be-

Then airplanes began to arrive,
the first to alight carrying an AS
ISOLATED Press correspondent from
Columbus.
From then until night fall the
highways and open routes through
fields were clogged with automo-
biles and thousands Of persons on
foot.
Throughout the day there was a
whir of airplanes in the air above
the scene, bringing newspaper re-

Some Concern

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-In-
creasing German competition in the
export trade field is beginning 10
make bureau of Foreign and Do
mestic Commerce officials look
rather thoughtful.
It's developing pretty fast and
experts foresee lots more of it
ahead.
AS "The Index" organ of the
New York Trust Company, says:
German industries have secured
splendid new equipment as a re-
suit of building done during the
decline and fall of the mark.
They are now, almost without
exception, equipped with the latest
machinery, in a position to take adj
vantage of the latest and most in4
proved processes, and are in all re-
poets probably the most modern in
the world; and German rivalry will
be intense"
The commerce bureau looks for
German activity particularly in the
orient and Latin America. That
postwar Germany will be financial
ly able to extend the extremely long
credits of antebellum days is re-
garded as doubtful, which may
handicap her somewhat.
Still her production costs are
low, so that she can made favor
able prices even if she cannot
give her customers quite so mucn
time in which to pay them as form
erly.
She excels also in adapting her
goods to her trades requirements
instead of trying to educate her
markets into a liking for what her
own people happen to prefer-the
Anglo-Saxon and especially the
American system.

LOCAL PEOPLE
ASKED NOT TO

Users Should Be Conservative,
Although No Danger Of

DRASTIC STEPS TAKEN
IN MANY OTHER CITIES
Americas Much Better Off Than

Engineer Walker, who announced
this morning that sufficient water
was being pumped to comply with
insurance requirements.
The springs which supply Ameri-
Gus with water have been flowing at
about one third their normal output
since the dry weather set in said
Mr.. Walker, and the air compressor
is being operated practically "a
hours day in order to keep the res
ervoirs filled. This means that the
people are using the water Just
about as fast as we are able tn
pump it from the ground, said the
engineer.
Since the canning company and
the swimming pool have closed down
the engineer at the water works has
reported an excess of water on
hand each day, which would prevent
the fire department from using any
of the water pumped for ordinary
use in case of fire; but if the fire
was large. one and a quantity Of
water was used we would have to
allot water to the people until the
reservoirs. could be filled again.

"When ask the people to con
