Force Only Way lo ^ Handle Germany, Frenchman Asserts Member of Reparations Com mission Declares Teutons Have Worn Out Pa tience of France. Bans, Jan. 10— (By A. P.l—Louis Barthou, member of the reparations commission, last night, before a dis tinguished audience which included Marshal Foch and eOnerals Fayolle. Geouraud and Mangin. delivered a lecture on "French rights and Ger man obligations.” force, M. Barthou said, was the mly argument Understood by the Germans. The allies, from the very beginning, had been forcible in words, hut feeble in sets. The Germans, who at first had no idea of seeking to evade their obligations, were en couraged by the mistaken moderation of the allies and became bolder and b-.ider until now the climax had been reached. A review of the whole history of Europe since the armistice was given by M. Barthou in support of his argu ment. He laid stress on each succes sive maneuver of the Germans. "They deny the evidence of facts and the precision of texts,” M. Bar thou declared. "Because soldiers protect the techni ■ al mission, engineers and customs I***gents, those whose appalling cynic ism violated the neutrality of Bel gium now' seek to shelter themselves behind their national sovereignty. But these sophisms will fail of their object. They will not prevent us from executing in its entirety, with inflexible moderation, our well thought out plan, providing for all contin gencies. "Germany must g.ve way; we will not; she has worn out our patience. AVe do not seek the death of i'erirfany, nor her ruin, but we say that to live, France must be paid. The bailiff has been called in at a late hour, and it cannot astonish anyone if he be in exorable." Referring to the divergencies in views between Francs and Great Britain. M. Barthou said: "lAon't think I hat either England i i her government is pro-German. !t\ would be an Injustice, almost blas phemy. If temporary differences srp aiate us. the hour is bound to st riles when the two countries will proceed together along 'he same route. The prime minister's attittUe, so cordial and loyal, and which In no way ham 1" rs our lino of action can only in spire us with confidence.” (lo-t of Living Advanced I Per Cent During December Washington, .Ian. 20.—Reports issued by the Department.' of Labor today allow that in December theis was an increase of I per cent in the retail cost of food to the average family as compared with November.

Democratic Race for Senate Leader Is Growing Wanner j Simmons ami Rohbinson in Neck and Neck Rattle for Place Now Held by l nderwood. Washington, Jan. 19.— By A 1M— | The definite lineup of democratic sen ators in the contest for the minority j leadership of the senate in the next 1 congress, as disclosed by managers of the campaign of Senator Simmons of North Carolina, shojved a neck-ami neck race for the position between 1 him and Senator Robinson of Ar kansas.
