I Wellington, April 20 The news frori Europe Indicates that the allies I are 'Preparing to Bcrap the Versailles treaty so far as suit their purposes 'Just? as this country Is. The admin istration's position is that as this country has never accepted that treaty It has not surrendered Its rights as a co-bel)igerant. It apparently means to accfjpt such portions of the treaty as serve, its interests and to write sup Dlementary agreements which will pro tect: interests which President Wilson 1 disregarded or perhaps surrendered at " Pari.. France having accepted the treaty Is not ree to extend Its claims upon the , sam technical basis as the United States. Its contention will apparently ; be that Germany has violated the Ver sailles pact, that therefore France may ' press forward claims which she aban : dontd at the Paris conference, being no longer bound by a treaty which Berlin has broken. '. It Is to be noted that the reparations i commission's demand for the placing lot the German reichbank gold In the I occupied area, or its surrender outright to the allies, is coupled by the official xuggestion from Paris that Germany's failure to comply, which Is expected, 'will- be regarded by France as another -violation of the Versailles treaty by .Gf-rmany such as will Justify France's further occupation of German terri tory. The French government main tains that there have been several vio lations of the treaty by Germany of -which another and serious on will be 'Germany's expected falluretb ply the 45.000,000,000 of reparations due on .May 1. England Rapports Preach View. Oa the basis of such violations' France will be as free to consider her self Just as this country does Itself, a co-belligerent whose Interests have not been adequately protected at Paris. In Paris newspaper discussion much emphasis is laid upon this country's apparent repudiation of President Wil son and his fellow commissioners as our. representatives in ending ths war. ThA point Is that France has been de ceived and cheated in thinking-she was dealing with authoritative agents of this country at Paris. France has received nothing which Mr. - Wilson promised to her at Paris. On the con Meteor Showers Hot Metal Over Georgia Macon, Gu., April SO.

Pritchard, today saw President Harding and recommended the appointment of James J. Brltt, of Asheville, as circuit judge of the fourth circuit to succeed Pritchard. The other Important patronage de velopment here today was official con firmation of exclusive despatches to the Greensboro Daily News last night that David H. niair. of Winston-Salem, had been selected as commissioner of Internal revenue. In seeing Messrs. Butler and the two Prltchards, the President did not com mit himself, but listened attentively to the suggestions of the three North Carolinians. He Indicated that the claims of all candidates are being given consideration. It Is reliably re ported here, however, that Judge Ash ley M. Gould, of the District of Colum bia Supreme court, who was sent for by the President on Monday, remains his personal choice for the appoint ment. Meanwhile, another Richmond man en tered the field today, being throat for. ward by his friends rather than by hlm- it was teamed that "dry" forces. self.

Dispatches from London Indloats that France is being supported by ths Bng-' lish- In her aggressive attitude toward Germany. What appears to bs a for eign statement in the press this morn ing says that the British government has been "patient almost to a fault," with regard to Berlin. The same state ment goes on to say that "it Is ths ami old Germany with which ws havs to deal. Ws are faced with a govern ment and a people very little dlffsrsnt If at all from those of 1914." It Is said that British troops will not co-operate in any French advance Into Uermany. but It is explained that ths mala reason Is that no British troops are available. Thus Great Britain or at least tha Lloyd Gsorgs government under the leadership of Francs has ap parently changed Its attltuds toward Germany. It Is no longer seeking com promises and counseling prudenos while winking at failures of Berlin to Ive up to ths treaty. At the coming --inference at Hythe the Indications are hat ths British will no longer try to old the French back but will give r rapes moral support In her conten lon that the Versailles treaty has been lolated. leaving ths allies free to take neasures for the protection of their nterests.

Germany la asserting that she annot live up to It. France declares hat It has been violated In Its esaen ialg and therefore no longer restrains er. And Great Britain Is evidently ending her moral support to France. The spirit In which the treaty was rrltten has disappeared from the forld. President Wilson Insisted upon certain Idealism and liberality In ha writing of the treaty. He did not et much of this tone Into the treaty. :ut the fact that his country under Is leadership appeared at Paris as to illy disinterested, asking for nothing aospt a peace that would last and fi agreement among the countries of is world to maintain that peace, en "clxed a certain influence. The vie ws abated something on their de anda actuated partly by the example ' this country and partly by certain -motlcal considerations, such as the nglo-French-Amerlran alliance, which r. Wilson promised in return. The llance which was promised was never flrvered. Germany failed to live up - the treaty as made. This country la abandoned its Idealism and is ln atlng frankly upon its own Interests erywhere In the peace to be made, her countries are recalling Interests hlch they sacrificed at Paris The Inclination Is developing to re ia as much of the Versailles treaty suits the Interests of the victors :g to gam further national ends in e rewriting of the Versailles pact or the writing of a treaty supplement s' It.

Representative John tiarner, of Texan, jient ranking1 Democratic mem ber of the committee, took his fellow Texans "over the hurdlen.' although he voted for the Republican farmers' emergency tariff law In the last Co lr re 88. When the bill waa repassed few duys ago, Mr. Garner switched and voted with the great majority of Demo crata against the measure. While John Ktrby, representing- the .Southern Tariff association, and George M, Thurmond, representing the Texas sheep and goat raisers, were before the committee asking for protective tariff on 67 southern commodities. Republican protectionists laughed uproariously over the cross-examination conducted by Mr. Garner. Mr. Garner developed admissions that Mr. Klrby and Mr. Thurmond voted for the election of .Warren G. Harding' last fall. Mr. Thurmond added that if he lived four years he would vote for the Republican ticket again, although last fall was his 'first offense." Mr. Kirby Insisted that Is still a Democrat, but that "the party pulled away from him." "You think, then," asked Garner, "that it will be necessary to have two factions of the Democratic party T" "It will not only be necessary, but its seems the only way out," waa Mr. Kirby's answer. ."We must have that or none at all."

No," said Mr. Klrhy, "I think he still converted, but he Is trying to re main regular."

Tat Onaaahan Dalit Thas Bases. : V SOI MartaaMs alattaaal laas life Halelgh, April .0, With only a small beginning, mads on ; the' tmmsnss amount of stats printing resulting from the last sessioa of the general assembly, and with practically all state printing behind, the whole printing bualnnss in Halelgh Is thrsatened with a strike on May J. which will com. pletely tls up ths whole program. The employing printers' association and tht typographical union havs both spoken, whut they declare Is the last word on ths proposition of Increasing ths sat. scale to m for day work and 47 for night work and of reducing ths num. ner or hours from 41 to 44 per week. The printers gave ths emulov-.rs un. til ths 1st of May to come to soma de cision on their ultimatum, and the naieign nrnis wno nave an of the stnia printing oontrr.cts havs given out a statsmsnt In which thsy declare Diet- are unable to meet the demands ot the printers,- The reduction In the num. ber of working hours Is ths malr! bone of contention. They claim' that thla will amount to paying for 11 months work In a year's time and of getting only 11. months' labor for this par. They declare that their margin of profit now Is such that thsy will, bs unable to meet this nsw reduction In hours and tncreass in pay. When ths pro posal of ths prlntsra was first mads It Included ths newspapers of ths city as wall as ths commercial printers. Later ths newspapers wers relieved of th responsibility of having to decide on the proposal, for ths prlntsrs agreed to meet the suggsstlons of ths newspa per publishers, 1 : ; Ths s-tata Wsnld I.sae. Three commercial houses hare havs practically all of ths state printing. Contracts were mads with thess con cerns last year after a series of. com promises anl conferences following ths Brat bids on ths printing work of ths state, which is practically tha whole business for all of these concerns. One of the concerns bid for all the work and refused at first to consider any of it If ths othsr concerns were to he given a part of It. The smallest con cern made a bid for two-fifths of ths work. But none of the shops had tha mechanical equipment of snfll relent sine to handle tha whole Job, and ths 'print ing commission finally forced through a compromise which gavs all three of the larger concerns a split on ths printing. All of the contracts have strike clauses in them, ao ths stst will be unable to recover for non-delivery of the work on time. Even without the strike ths stats printing Is very slow. It takes a year to get Uis laws printed after hey have been passed by hs legislature. Uellvery by the printing eoncerns waa so low that ths Supreme court abandoned - tbe printed briefs six months ago. It Installed mimeograph machines and typewriters and employ ed expert operators. All briefs of the Supreme court have been printed on these mimeograph machines for ths past six months, and ths court has been so pleased with ths nsw arrange ment that it does not contemplate re turning to tha printers, i M. I, nhlpman. commissioner of printing, haa en hand a largs stock paper, for ths stats buys Ha own pa per and uses the printerles only for composition, press work and binding. Commissioner Shlpman Is waiting to If It will bs posslbls for ths print ers and employers to gst ' together. There sssms little chance now of ar bitration for the printers are demand' ng that their terms bs met. The em ployers believe they will bs able to line up their shops with noa union la bor If It comes to a pinch, and declare that Is what they will do. The board of trustees of the Kast Carolina Training school will meet. In the office of the governor on Monday, t wnicn lime plane will be, discussed for the new building program at the school. This Is ons of ths last of the board meetings ths governor has rall od. Hs hss asked thst ths first meet ings bs held In his office In order that e may be informed of the workings of the Institutions and something of its needs. The Greenville school's building nro- grsm has been discussed with the gov. rnor oy i resiaent Wright, but (Ills is ths first full meeting of tbe bosrd that aa been held sines ths legislature ap propriated money for extension of the plant ef the school. , 4 .; The Average Will Drwn. When all of thecountlee havs report ed to the tax commission ths average cut In tax values will show around IS or 20 per cent reduction. In -the opin ion of officials connected with the commission. The ft counties which havs already performed operations on ths III caluss show about tl par cent reduction oa ths avsrags. Ths counties which mads the largest reductions, or which are likely to make the larger cuta. were among the first to report. The commission doss not believe the re ports from ths remaining e coun ties will show such heavy radnotlona and that ths average will be deoreeo ed rather than Increased, i The Ii psr cent reduotloa la tha property vaiuea of the state as a whole w,,i not amount to a great deal la the aggregate, but the heavier eats of soms counties. If allowed to stand, will - put i nose counties up sgainst ons ef ths most real financial problems they avs naa to solve, la the ODlalea of the tax commission cutting the values is not going to bring about ths free dom from taxation worries that tha advocates thought It would. The personal property tax -valuee will not show as high value this year aa thsy did a year ago. Those will be listed over sgsia this coming Msy, and it a generally estimated from the ear lier reports that ths rsductioa la per- Banal BNHm.1 In Ih. il.l. anew m.V. arouad three hundred million dollars. . That may be a little high, but It la only ' II per neat less than the total valua tion of this type of property last year, who alt la taken Into consideration that the high priced stocks of tobacco and eottsa goods are laeludeel la the hands of ths aa a no fact a rare at tha lini ng tisie. .
