WINTERS. (Br 8pwial Lnhi Wire.) ,WashingtdBr' Jan. 18. Unless the handwriting oa t e Vail has been-mistaken because of its blurred effect and political prophesy goes awry, George H. Bellamy, of Wilmington, will on Mon day be recommended by Senator Furni fold M. Simmons for the appointment of marshal in the Eastern North Carolina District. The recommendation of the1 senior (Senator is equivalent to appoint ment, the Department of Justice alone reserving the privilege of confirmation. The appointee supplies the vacancy cre ated by the death of the litte W. T. Dortch, of Ooldsboro, the job having beea temporarily filled by W. T, Wood ley, of Bertie county. With a field full f candidates some thirty or more until recently the po litical straws have been so clustered as to make political predictions hazardous. Particularly so, when accuracy should be a passion in newspaper reporting and reliable information the object and aim of the printed pages Political straws are constantly shifting in their positions, aad the office of the marshulsliip of Eastora North Carolina offers no ex ception to the rule., Moreover, recent events in' the political field point un mistakably to the naming of Mr. Bel lamy as marshal. James O. Carr qifits the job of United Ptatea Attorney, with headquarters at Wilmington, a factor that would have prejudiced the application of the ''Dukr of Brunswick' for the marshalshlp. Bon. ator Himmons, whose keen, discernment surveys the field with rare insight, would have objected to stacking hit cards all in the seaport town. Then, too.

But the political slate changes 1 The borne town of Senator Simmons, New Bern, get! a healthy plum when Thomas D. Warren plucks from the tree the 4,000 job of United States Attorney. The shifting of political patronage from WTImihgtoD. to New Bern leaves a void ia the seaport town, and just before his resignation, James O. Carr saw Senator Simmons ia behalf of the candidacy of Mr. Bellamy. Perhaps no city ia all North Carolina is more attached to the Senior Senator than is Wilmington, and the relation is mutual. He will not long fail of political dispensation, and tb appointment of the Duke of Brunswick seems certain. ..... Geography and political lilies often overlap, and with tbe appointment of Mr. Bellamy Senator Simmons doubtless sees an equilibrium. Wilmington and New Bern will bo Well taken rare of, and Goldsboro was the home of the late W. T. Dortch. .This town, according to political straws, will bear shelving for a while. .Notwithstanding that Golds boro has a formidable candidate for the job, this analysis seems to be the pre vailing view. The Bellamys, have long been identi fied with party weal and welfare in New Banover and Brunswick counties, and office is a reward and recognition of party service. Perhaps the same applies tn other candidates', but the Duke of Brunswick has grown grey in the serv jfeTbi -picturesque war horse doubt less objects to being called old, but would not balk at tlio application in tire light of his political recognition growing slimer as the years pass unless he is given the marsiialship. . 8aaday Here February I.

Washington, Jan. 18. After many hours of debate the Senate failed to night to reach a vote oa the bill, already passed by the Bouse, appropriating 100,000,000 e"or European famine re lief, as urged by President Wilson. Despite the outspoken opposition of some members, Bepnblicaa and Demo cratic leaders expressed the belief that the measure would be put through Won day. They had hopes to pass it before adjournment tonight. ' Democratic Leader Martin and Sen' ator Lodire spoke in favor of the meas lire, while rtenators Borahof Idaho, and Kenyon, of Iowa, Bepublicans, led the opposition. the opposition largely was based on alleged lack of authority by Congress to appropriate money, raised from the peo ple by taxation, for European charity and also because, it was asserted, sum cient information justifying the .appro pnation had not been submitted. Objection to feeding peoples of enemy countries was also raised and the Sen ate adopted an amendment by Senator Lodge adding Austria, Turkey aad Bul garia, besides Germany, to the countries' which shall not share in distribution of funds. The Lodge amendment provides, however, that it shall not prevent food 'stribution to the people of Armenia, Syria, Greece and the Christian and Jewish people under the yoke of enemy governments. During the debate, Herliert Hoover, American Food Administrator, was sharply attacked bjr Senators Borhh and Kenyon, who charged that his adminis tration had favored tka meat packing1 interests. . "Opposition .developed Immediately nhet Senator Martin culled up the bill. Senator Myers demanded to know under vliat constitutional clause Congress ould laise money by taxes and then 'practically give it away to foreign people." Sonntor Martin said such, t jeliet ap propriations had been made many times and cited a number of precedents. Seator Kenyon declared he did not be lie vrttpTrrprT--that the-petrpto of this country should be compelled to give to a charity fund for the aid of foreign nations, and that the relie fshonld be carrier out through private subscrip tions. Referring to President Wilson's state ment that fo4 would stop Bolshevism, Senator Kenyon declared: - "You will stop the Bolsheviki, not by feeding them, but by removing injus tices." Before grYing relief to Europe the sit uation in the United States should be considered; Senator Kenyon said, add ing that 200,000 men ore out of employ ment in the United States.
