A new spirit of United Americanism, holding it- self above sectional and partisan di visions and making secure the in dustries of the whole nation alike was bespoken by Tresident-elect 5 larding last night, in a message to le people of Jhe south. The message, written at the re nnet nf riart HnwplL editor of the Atlanta constitution, and democratic national committeeman of Georgia, was made public on the arrival of the train which isnaking the president-elect to Florida. It follows: "Of course I have no message to the people of the $outh that I would not gladly utter to all the United States. ""'Perhaps the south would be interested to know, however, of one ambition which I 'cherish. I want to be instrumental ill. establishing trmt completeoncord of union which I hold tevbe essential to the Ameri- . can fulfillment. I realize how the political solidarity, of the south fol lowed the unfortunate days of the ' civil war. I know how that solidarity has been encouraged, and I think I understand the desire to break it on the other hartds.

More bundles were put into another box under a layer ot-oats.' ..Then we took some of the loot to. our North Side warehouse and concealed it. I tore out the hair in an old mattress and stuffed it with bills. Planned to Bury Money. "This was all possible because I, was just moving my family to a house near our warehouse on the North Side and could come and go, as i thought, unobserved.

Aristidc Briand, France's new "premier, and members, of his' ministry were given a record vote of confidence by the chamber of deputies tonight. . By a vote of 475 to 68.' the deputies W.,. their stamp of approval -n the policies of M. Briand, who in a two-hour speech, characterized by its vigor fciul oratory, answered interpellations and promised to make the collection of reparations from Germany ( the .sanding principle of his administra tion. ; The premier avoided a statement of any definite plan for carrying ou( the treaty and the restoration of France to its former economic posi tion, Sijit promised to devote all his tiinc'aiid eucrgy to this purpose. His remarks frequently were interrupted by applause in which, for the most pant, the members of the right did not join. Asks Full Confidence. ' At the outset of his speech, M. Briand told the chamber that it must give the new government a clean cut vote of confidence "at this crit ical tiipc when the policies of France probaWly would be pledged for the next tlvo years. ' 1 The size of the vote, which sur prised many deputies, is regarded as not only an expression of confidence in the government, but as manifesta tion of national unity in the face of the forthcoming meeting of the allies. M. Briand asserted the French people Jiad tome to the point wTicre they wanted realities. and not words. ''We have had formulas of truth for two years, but no indemnities," lie declared. "It would be the great est travesty of justice if the attack ers of civilization were to'tiC let otf without payment for their crimes." Denial was made by the premier of the charge that France had not stated the extent of her claims, so that she might "extort brutal pay ment from Germany by foYcc." Statement Untrue. "Such a statement is untrue, lie added, "and France today more than at any other time is entitled to the confidence of the rest of the Nworld. She fought, suffered, was buriied. pillaged and drenched iu blood, and yet she accepts, in spite of her lack of strength, the many impossibilities imposed on her." Referring to the. policy toward Germany, Premier Briand said the government would exhaust all re sources before it used force and then only in accord witli her allies against the former etfcmy. He believed t lie al lies should inimediatclyvf stablish the financial possibilities of Germany and then set up a forfeit which would bind the allies in the future Although the German treasury is empty, M. Briand declared that many private persons in Germany had en riched thenuclves and that contact must be established between these and the German government to per mit the latter to pay indemnity. After dealing with France's inter nal questions, he said he would sup port the project for resumption of relations with the Vatican. Prominent Mason Dies McCook, Neb., Jan. 2-.(Special.) Clarence B.
