MAKES THREAT TO DISMEMBER BOCHE NATION France Considers Invasion if Demands for Reparations Are Not Met Fully. MAY CALL OFF PARLEY PARIS, Feb. 7.—Complete dismemberment of tbe German nation if she does not accept her punishment was threatened by France today. “I will not move one millimeter from my position,” Premier Brland declared. "Germany was guilty. Germany must ray.” French officials Indicated there are serious problems if they let Germany bluster and bluff over the reparations and then i descend on the former empire and exact 1 the indemnity demanded by tailing posI aession of German territory. FOR VENGEANCE. “There nre many Frenchmen whose greatest desire is to see German cities in ruin, just as our own cities were demolished by the German invasion,” a French official declared. ‘Nothing would please this element more than to see the allied agreement on reparations torn to bits while a French army Is sent Into Germany to take possession of land and property to pay France for what she lost.” French officials admitted they were nnable to determine now whether the uproar in Germany over the allied demands Is a bluff or really the prelude to a situation whlrh might Justify the nation in nnsheathing the sword.

HOOTCH HOLDS 14 FROM ESCAPE Prisoners Pick Cell Lock and Put on Booze Party. STEUBENVILLE. Ohio, Feb. 7.—The thirst for liquor triumphed over the lure of liberty and fourteen prisoners sprawled in their cots here today recovering from an extensive drinking bout. The fourteen had been locked in the bull pen to be out of the way of temptation, ns 250 quarts of confiscated whisky had been locked in a ceil. Some time during the night the bull pen lock was picked and the prisoners decided a whisky party was preferable to liberty. Fishing with a broom handle and some wire, they lifted out fourteen quarts of whisky. When the supply was exhausted they fished for more. Ribald song broke on the quiet of the village and the sheriff and police charged into the Jail to find the floor littered with empty bottles and happy prisoners. Each of the prisoners, in addition to the original charg“, was charged with being drunk, disorderly, attempting to escape Jail, breaking and entering and theft.
