that the Versailles treaty alone is re
SpOnsible for it, and that shattered

Of bolshevism averted only if she Is lib
Grated from the peace she ratified, but

\ comprehensive feeling of alarm
has been awakened in France by the
success Germany is having with this
diabOlical intrigue in England. The
French fear. and I cannot help thinking
they are right. that any revision OF the
treaty effected under the auspices Of the
British Socialists and their bourgeois
sympathizers will inevitably lead, at any
rae so far rs France is concerned, to n
German peace annulling the glorious
victory for which France paid with the
lives of 1000, 900 Of her sons, ami
hilating her hopes of prosperous renewal
and leaving her without defense against
future TcutOn aggression.
Indeed. the French people feel. not
without bitterness. that they are being
deserted even now by their allies and
left To cope alone with a German
menace. which may have ceased to ex,
ist for England and America with the
destruction of the German feet and the
conquest of the German colonies, but
which will continue to Overshadow
France so long as the tricOlOr waves

There is current belief that the
French Government is determined to
counter any attempt on the part of the
Anglo Saxon powers to bring about
revision of the Versailles treaty by
putting forward a claim that in this
case France must be given the right
to occupy permanently the left bank OF
the Rhine. The French press has re-
peatedly stated that France Is prepared
TO welcome the revision OF the treaty,
as II would enable her to obtain the
natural strategic frontier which was de.
MED her at Versailles. Some people
have even insinuated that France has
been hoping all along that the Germans
may commit some fragrant violation of
the peace terms. furnishing her with a
pretext for taking possession OF this
coveted territory.
This latter assertion is, ] am con-
vinced, but one of the innumerable seeds
of discord diligently sown by Germany
between France and her Anglo Saxon
allies. but it is, as a matter of fact,
difficult 10 see how the French can prO.

Public opinion in France inclines to
the view-which is likewise not alto

had been allowed TO have his own way
at the Paris conference he would at
least have succeeded in making a stable.
''0ld fashioned peace" which. while II
might not have accorded with Wilsonian
principles, would, at any rate, have set
old Europe going again for generation
or two and restored normal conditions
much sooner than the abortive peace OF
compromises ultimately arrived at by
the allied statesmen.
It is quite possible that the old
Tiger" might have done this. just as
it is fairly certain that he would long
ago have successfully stamped out Dol.
shevism in Russia and thereby In the
rest Of the world il his vigorous advice
had been followed. y
Many Germans have assured me that
in the first days of the armisti"e Ger
many would have cheerfully accepted,
in her eagerness to get back at once TO
normal conditions OF existence, mucn
harder terms than were finally imposed
upon her, and submitted to far more
considerable territorial losses wlthout
the revengeful rawlings which even an
untavorable plebiscite rouscs IN her
heart today.
But this willingness to sacrifice
everything in order TO satisfy her pas =
sionate craving for real and immediate
peace died away during the intcrmin-
able, enervating months of the Paris
conference, giving place TO a resentful
determination to tear the Versailles
treaty in pieces like another 'scrap Of
paper" at the earliest opportunity. Van
quished Germany began to feel her
strength again while the conference
diplomats debated and wranglcd and the
Bolshevist menace spread westward, and
when the Allies finally had the treaty
ready she no longer stood in any great
awe of them.

SEQ TON Melted
ON MILO MAIZE
Especial to The PreSs.)

Especial to The PreSS.)
BRAWLEY, Nov. 4.-Up to yes
terday five cars of the new milo
maize crop had been shipped from
Brawley and it brought from $4S.5O
to $50 ton for the ranchers. This
is against the present ten-day ship
ment price of $54 per ton from which
freight must be deducted to get the
net.
During this week it is believed
there will be around ten more cars
shipped and next week the shipments
will run up rapidly whether frost ar
rives or not.
The mellow golden fields show har-
vest time arriving in all its grandeur,
and while the acreage was greatly
reduced this year the average yield
per acre is satisfactory.
1t is hard to buy milo for local con-
sumption as the new crop so far has
all been applied on Los Angeles or
ders and was under contract before
it was harvested.
Threshing machine outfits are un-
der contract until the middle of De-
cember and think they will be busy
until February l.
Imperial Valley No. l milo brings
a decided premium over the Texas
product which is now coming on the
market. In fact, Texas No. 1 milo
has about the same standing as good
Imperial No. which means an ad-
vantage of about 50 ton.

Local Thespians
On Boards Tonight
At Palace Theatre

Tonight is the big night. And if
Florenz Ziegfeld should happen in
the Palace theater he would have the
opportunity of looking over some
rare talent. For after a complete
success in Brawley and Calexico, the
Elks show purple Flashes" will open
tonight for a two nights engagement.
The Elks show committee wishes
to announce that the balcony of the
house will be sold as general admis-
sion at the door tonight and there
will be plenty of seats for everyone.
The show which is popular revue
of fun, fads and fashions and carries
a cast of 45 people in its various re-
yues, etc; will be one of the amuse-
ment treats of the season. At CaleX-
ico last evening 125 standing room
tickets were sold over the capacity
of the theater, and the Ell Centro
people were greeted with round after
round of applause for their clever
presentation.
The entire costuming of the show
is created by the Studio Shop in Los
Angeles for Mr.. McNaughtan, and
the ladies gowns are beautiful. The
setting of the second and third act
was painted especially for the show
by the Flagg Scenic studio and is
magnificent tapestry effect.
The Yellow Dogs AN added feature
Of the show have been having great
fun between acts and other special
ties and the Palace theater orchestra
will keep things going all the time.
The show is given by the Elks to
raise money to handle the Christmas
charity of the poor and deserves the
support Of everyone. But outside of
that fact you will see the best show
presented here in years.
