Will Probably be Addressed
by the President in Person
at Which Time He Will
State His Views as to Peace
Program to be Adopted.
Washington, April 5. President
Harding is not committed to any de
finite program with regard to a con
gressional declaration to declare the
state of war with Germany at an end.
The President's view with regard
to a program are expected to be made
known at the opening session of, the
new Congress which the executive
may address in person. In tho moan
time it is known the president and
his advisors are becoming more and
more convinced there is no more
practical way to consider the Versail

While the President voted for the
Knox resolution while a member of
the Senate and spoke favorably in
regard to it in his speech of accept
ance he feels no occasion for preci
pitious action at this time. .
MANY BOMBS FOUND IN
SECTIONS OF BERLIN.
Berlin, April G, Mysterious 'par
cels containing explosives have been
discovered during the last 24 hours
by the police in various sections of
Berlin. Some of them were found in
private residences on door steps,' in
hall ways and along tracks of ele
vated rallrerads. Each of the packages
was supplied with a fuse ready to be
lighted.
Police officials declared the Com
munists had planned a reign, of
terror here during the recent disor
ders in Central Germany. Their pur
poses was said to be "to frighten the
bourgeois classes and encuorage tim
id comrades to join in the revolt."
Belief is expressed that Max Hoelz,
known as the "German Robin Hood"
supplied local Communists with
quantities of explosives from Central
Germany mining districts and that he
personally drew up plans to spread
terror throughout Berlin.

impresses all who are interested In
the success of the team for the com
ing season is the fact that practically
every new man signed Is a young
man. This differs considerably from
the personnel of the squad last seas
on for then the bulk of the players
were older men who had no future.
This season the Wilson Club is go
ing to be composed of young, hustl- j
ing ball tossers who have prospects
of advancement, and in addition
there will be more hustle' and fight
on the team tnat cnaracterizes ine
activity of older players.
Clark is quite well pleased with
the showing made by several of the
new men. Schott at first made an
unusually fine impression and looks
like a real ball player. Talley. the

on the Wilson ball field for a game
and men the Ralefgkleam of the
Piedmont League e here on the

New men arriving since yesterday
are Pitcher Shepherd, Catcher Wood
ard, and Shortstop Walker. Shep
herd is from Kentucky, Woodard a
JTotth-Caria boy, and Walker
hails from AlaTara'aT 'SbeeharrJ Js a
big, loosely built young fellow and'
if appearances count for .anything
he ought to have a world of stuff.
Walker is the short stop who has
made such a wonderful record in col
lege ball tor the past few seasons. He
was in the Million Dollar League last
Summer and hit more than 330 for
the season in addition to having a
wonderful fielding record. Woodard
was the first string catcher for the
Scotland Neck team in the Eastern
Carolina League and made an envi
able record while there. In addition
to the men mentioned above Mark
Webb came in last night and is
looking fine. He seems to be some
what lighter than last season and
says that his arm is just as good if
not better than ever before. It is be
lieved by those who know what
Webb has on the ball that under the
tutelage of Tom Clark that he will

that terms have been arranged with
Ty Smith the young outfielder re
cently purchased from the Richmond
Club. Smith will report early during
next week and reports that he is al
ready in good condition. He hails
from Chattanooga, Tenn., and has
been farming during the past ' few
weeks. It is remembered that Smith
last season was one of the very best
ball players in the Virginia league.
He hit for 310, only had about a
dozen errors credited against ' him
for the season and stole 24 bases
even though he had a Charley Horse
during greater part of the season.
We feel that we are lucky in securing:
this speed demon for the local club,'
and it now begins to look as if we
have a well rounded bit of talent. .
Clark has signed nine pitchers,
and some of them look mighty good.
In addition to the men brought over
