ABANDONMENT X OF SURVEYOR
 OFFICE LIKELY
Fight of Congressmen to Re- scind Proposal is Not
 Successful

SEATTLE, Feb. 20 Indications are strong that the House Approp- riations committee is not to recede from it's decision to abandon the offices of Surveyor General in many Western States, and Alaska, as an economy measure, although fight is being made to have the com mittee reconsider it's decision.
 A special today to the POst-In- telligencer from Washington said that Representative Miller of Wash ington and Representative Smith of Idaho yesterday made a fight on the floor of the House against the proposed abolishment of the Sur veyor Generals offices in the West ern States, and in Alaska. It was said that Chairman Hood, of the Appropriations committee declined to permit the Western Congressman to interrupt him when Good was speaking, explaining that the rec ommendation of the committee was made only after it had been de- cided that abolishment of the off ces would save the government con- siderable money, without seriously crippling the Interior Department s functions.
 The dispatch indicated there was little hope that the fight to retain the offices would be successful.

WITHDRAWAL OF U. s. DESTROYS
 WILSON'S PACT
Allies Quoted as Saying that President Proposed to
 Protect France

BUENOS AIRES, Feb. 20.-Sum- marking the reply of the Allied premiers to the memorandum sub mitted by President Wilson inti- mating withdrawal of the United States from European affairs if the Adriatic settlement were made with put hearing America's voice, the lome correspondent of La Nacion declares the French people feel that President Wilson's action will de- troy the United States-France all lance for the protection of France.
 The correspondent described Pres dent Wilson's memorandum as "a threat to withdraw the Presidents signature from the Anglo-Franco- American treaty establishing the se- curity of France against German in- vasion."
 The Allied reply to the Presi- dent points out that President Will on invited the signing of treaty having the protection of France in mind, and so signed it.

GERMAN PEOPLE
 THEMSELVES TO TRY OFFICIALS
Preparations Are Already Made to Get Testimony
 From Allies
ACTION IS SURPRISING
Allies Had Withdrawn De- mand for Extradition of
 Hun War Leaders

LONDON, Feb. 20 - Following the announcement that the European Allies had withdrawn their demand for extradition of Germany's war time leaders for trial before an All lied tribunal, it was announced to- day that Germany will immediate " institute proceedings against majority of the men whom the AL lies had previously wanted.
 Private, but official, advices re- ceived in London this morning said that the German people had deter mined to show the world that she would punish her war leaders if the German people found them gull ty of violating the laws of war, and humanity.
 It was said that Germany is rush. ing preparations to try those ac- cused by the Allies, and Commis- sioners will be sent from Berlin to Paris and London, to take deposi- stioess for nse in tue triais, which probably will be held in Leipsie.
 Germany's action has elicted wide surprise in European capitals the general impression having been that Berlin was "bluffing" when 1t was proposed that the Germans them selves institute the trials.
 It is believed that Von linden burg, von Tirpitz, Von Bethmann- Hollweg and Prince Rupprecht Of Bavaria will be among those tried.
