Paris, Mar. 26-Interviewing Rene
Viviani, the former French premier,
just before he boarded the Lorraine
for America, is like talking 10 4 re-
incarnation of the leopard whose skin
lie on the floor of Viviani's magniti-
cent library.
The great Frenchman paced up and
down while uttering short, sharp

"Do you think I am going to tell
you in advance all am going to say
to President Harding? l don't make
my speeches twice." he growled.
He paced up and down some more,
then broke out:
''Here is the message | want to give

"SOme weeks ago the French gov
ernment asked me to greet President
Harding. Four years ago had great
honor with Marshal Joffre Of going
to greet your American democracy
on the eve OF its entry into the war

ourselves united with America. .o
"It's quite natural that after cleo
ton Of your new president, France
should try to pay some of her debt
of gratitude by greeting through her
elected chief the country whose gen.
erosity and courage have been OF such
great help to US in time of distress
"By going to offer my homage to
President Harding and also by en-
tering into contact with eminent
America leaders, have only one plan,
one aim, one intention.

obtain satisfaction for wounds made

A mandamus proceeding was
brought today in district court here
against D. C. Poindexter, state auditor
to compel him to issue warrants to
C. C. Wattam and to stenographers
employed by the house investigating
committee named by house of repre-
sentatives during the legislative ses'
sion. The petition for writ alleges
that 81, 1900 is due.
Judge Nuessle set April 4 as time
for hearing on petition.
Auditor Poindexter had refused to
issue warrants for expenses of COM
mittee on ground that there was no ap.
preparation from which funds could
be drawn, because one branch Of legis-
lature could not incur such expense.
The petition alleges six. thousand
dollars in legislative expense fund
from which should be paid. The suit
was filed by Cameron and Wattam.

Viviani said he expected to remain
in America about three weeks. He
has selected no places to visit out
side of New York and Washington
but will probably go elsewhere afte'
consulting Ambassador Jusserand.
He did allow me to ask one more
question. 1t concerned the magni1i.
cent American silk flags which adorn
the entrance to his palatial apart
ment.
My question brought the only smile
to his face during the entire inter
view. He said the cherished flags
were presented to him at Philadelphia
in 1917.
1t is generally recognized in Paris
that Viviam's trip is for, somethins
more important than formal greet
ings.

expression on the subject of her finan-
cial obligation to the United States,
but Viviani will undoubtedly feel out

Define Methods of Listing of
Deflated Values.

All calculations in assessment OF

George E. Wallace, tax commissioner,
has ruled He has addressed COM
munication to tax supervisors on the
subject of assessing merchants for the
year 1921 as follows:
''You are instructed that in assess

assessors will use the following meth
cd:
Inventory plus invoices to April l,
then deduct sales to April l. All cal,
culations must be based on invoice

be made. Deflation is already reflect
ed in the inventory One-half OF the

for assessment.
However, should it be claimed
that deflation was not made in the in
ventory application for such deduc
tions must be made directly to the

GERMANY IN
NEED OF RADIUM

Berlin, Mar. 26.--Once the chief
producer of radium, Germany now has
barely enough to meet the medical
needs of. the great universities. There
is only one gram Of radium in all Ber-
lin, and proportionately even less ut
Heidelberg and other university cities
The shortage is said to be due to
the fact that karnothit used in the
manufacture of radium, is no longer
imported from America. The Ger
mans say the United States could sup
ply plenty of karnothit, but jim view
of the low purchasing power Of the
mark the Germans cannot afford to
buy it.
