FRANCE DER|DES
GERMAN APPEAL
TO THE LEAGUE
CALLS 1T PROPAGANDA
Most French Editors Advise
That No Attention Be Paid
to Protest and That Matter
be. Thus Disposed of. Not
Necessary to Resort to Ar
bitration by Third Party.

Paris, March 17.-Germany' ap-
peal to the League Of Nations against
the ''iniquity" of the allied measures
on the Rhine does not worry Paris at
all. Berlin's action is regarded as
simple propaganda. Germany's states
men know full well that Council OF
the League is run by the allied pow
ers which decided the penalties just
imposed, and if Germany counted up
on the influence of the neutrals,
which form a numerical majority in
the Assembly, she might have re-
called that body does not meet until
next September.
While most French editors advise
that no attention be paid to the Ger
man protest and that the matter be
thus disposed of, the Gaulois alone
takes the trouble to formulate tech
nical reasons.
''The League of Nations" it says,
refused to admit Germany because it
as long as she had not furnished
proofs of her intention to conform
loyalty to the stipu1ations of the
Treaty of Versailles. However, if it
has been necessary to resort to pen
alties it is precisely because Germany
has persisted in showing the same
bad faith as heretofore.
Intervention by the League of
Nations could not be justified now,
and especially because the conflict
between Germany and the Entente
does not come within it's jurisdiction.
1t is not necessary to resort to arbi-
tration by a third party when it is
established that one of the parties
has not fulfilled its obligations and
offers no acceptable settlement for it's
failure to do so. 1t is an affair strictly
between Germany and the A1lies.''

TO|SNOT WHITE MAN
IS SERIOUSLY SHOT
1t is Alleged That Jim Arts, a
Negro. Shot Walter Brice as
the Two Talked at Arts
Home Near Wilson.

Walter Brice, a young white man
of Toisnot township, was shot and
seriously injured last night about
1880 o'clock it is alleged, by a negro
Jim Arts, who lives four miles north
of Wilson. The affair happened at
the home of Artis, who later made
his escape.
Brice suffered two bullet wounds,
one in the left jaw, not necessarily a
serious wound, the other in the abdo-
men. The latter wound is serious.
The man was brought to local hos
pital last night and an abdomenal
operation performed. It was found
that the intestines had been perfor-
ated in about Is places. Brice rallied
from the operation, but he is still
in serious condition. !
The injured man has told his
story of the shooting, and that is the
only version of the affair that Off
GERS have been able to get. According
to Brice, he accompanied by his
