The text of the common declara-;
tion adopted by the allies at the i
close of the work of the San Remo!
conference says: I
"The allied powers have taken i
cognizance of the letter of Dr. Geop-:
hert (head of the German delegation
in Paris) of April 20, transmitting a
request from the German minister of
war asking that the German govern
ment be authorized to retain an army
of 200,000 instead of 100,000 men,
as provided for in the Versailles
treaty, and affirming that this is a .
necessity in order to maintain order. !
"The allies must declare immedi- :
ately that a proposition of this na- ' he said. "This is an important elec
ture cannot be even examined as long tio and every citizen should be pres
as Germany is failing to meet the lent."
most important obligations imposed Another matter Mayor Lenoir is
by the treaty and does not proceed
with disarmament, on which depends
the peace of the world. Germany I
has not fulfilled its engagements, I
neither concerning the destruction of
war material nor the decrease of its
effectives, nor for the supplying of
coal, nor for reparations or the costs
of the armies of occupation. It has
given neither satisfaction nor made
excuses for criminal attacks which
several times members of the allied
missions in Germany have been the
victims of.
"It has taken no steps to deter
mine, as was provided for in the pro
tocol of the treaty, its obligations
concerning reparations in order to
make preparations with the view of
fixing the total amount which it must
pay, despite the urgent character
that a settlement of this sort pre
sents in the interests of all the par
ties concerned. It seems to have not
even considered how it can meet its
obligations when they become due.
"The allies realize the difficulties
met by the German government and
do not seek to impose too narrow an
interpretation of the treaty, but they
are unanimous in declaring that they
cannot tolerate a continuation of the
infractions of the treaty of Ver
sailles, that the treaty must be exe
cuted and remain as the basis of re
lations between Germany and the al
lies and that they are resolved to
take all measures, even, if necessary,
the occupation of additional parts of
German territory, in order to insure
the execution of the treaty.
"They affrm, however, that they
have no intention of annexing any
part of German territory.
"At the same time the allies ddeem
that questions arising from violations
of the peace treaty, as well as from
the measures necessary to insure its
execution, would be more easily
solved by exchange of views between
the chiefs of governments than by
vote. Thus they decided to invite

Plans to further the development

discussed at a meeting of

guests of the hotel, Mr. J. J. Rodgers,
president of the Southern Hotel As

Mr. A. C. Bizzell, manager, and Mr.
W. R. Rodgers. About 25 men were
present. These men were selected,
hut were asked at random in an ef
fort to get a representative gathering
of Lenoir business interesst. The
meeting was held in the dining hall,
which was filled to its capacity.
The meeting was called to order by
Mr. E. F. Allen, toastmaster, who
briefly stated its purpose. Mr. Allen
then called on Mr. J. J. Rodgers to
tell of the impressions Lenoir as a
town had made on him and to state
from his observation what Ldnoir

"I have been greatly impressed by
many of your advantages since I

GATHERED FRIDAY
Chairman Harper Explains State
ment Township Commissioners
Pleased With Showing and
Pledge Co-operation
As a climax to a most successful
meeting of the Caldwell county road
commission and the township road
commissioners, held here Friday
morning, was a resolution introduced
by Mr. R. B. Bush, towns'.' ip road
commissioner from Lenoir township,
asking that all township commission
ers "get in behind the county road
commission and assist them and co
operate with them in every way in
securing rights of way and all other
necessary work towards carrying on
the road work in the county to a suc
cessful conclusion. To this resolu
tion an amendment was offered by
Mr. J. A. Boldin to the effect that the
resolution introduced by Mr. Bush be
extended so as to include every per
son present at the meeting. Both
the resolution and the amendment
were adopted by unanimous vote.
The meeting in every way was one
of the most successful get-together
meetings. It was called for the pur
pose of bringing the county road
commission aiid the township com
missioners into closer touch, and with
the idea of creating a better under
standing. One of the main objects
was for a discussion of the expendi
tures of the money already paid out
bv the road commission. Some star-
tling facts were brought out in this
It n.a,l hwn TPnortoH
over the county that the commission
had spent anywhere from $110,000
to $130,000 of the 1250,000 bond is
! sue, and no roads had been built.
These reports had reached the coun
ty road commission, and one of the
first things taken up was the state
ment of the treasurer as it appeared
in the News-Topic a few weeks ago.
In explaining this statement Chair
man G. F. Harper used a blackboard.
Here he displayed a talent running
not only to figures, but to art as well.
The first set of figures taken up was
the expenditure of the tax money
that is, the 30 cents bond tax col
lected for 1919. 'This amounted to
$21,675.15. To this he added the
refund from the State highway com
mission. This was refund was $285
and represented the 50 per cent, the
State' spart, for maintenance of the
Lenoir-Hickory road and paid back to
the county by the State highway com
mission. Thees two items gave a to
tal of $21,960.
From this the following expendi
tures hav ebeen made: Interest on
the county road bonds for January,
1920, and July, 1920,' $12,500; the
ditterence m tne interest Detween tne
. Lovelady township 6 per cent road
