NON N-FICHT
PACT GIVEN
FRENCH OK.
Cabinet Approves But De
mands Treaty Rights
Must Stand.

Paris, May 4.-(By the Associa-
ted Press 1.-The French cabinet
this afternoon approved the text of
the proposed non-aggression pact,
under consideration at Genoa, with
the reservation that it must not be
interpreted as withdrawing from
France any rights she has under
treaties.
The ministers spent the entire
morning session of the cabinet in
studying the text of the pact orig
inally proposed by Prime Minister
Lloyd George, and brought to Paris
by M. Barthou, head of the French
delegation at Genoa.
1t was deemed necessary to make
reservations regarding the rights
of France to make use of the pre-
negatives conferred by the treaty
of Versailles for the military occu-
patton of German territory as a
penalty for non-fulfillment of the
treaty.
With this reservation the pact
was unanimously approved.
The form in which the reserva-
ton will be presented at Genoa was
expected to be decided upon at an
other meeting of the cabinet this
afternoon.

sentatives here announced today

to Russia had been telegraphed to

ed Press o-SCviet RusBla's dele

eral the reconstruction program
framed by the powers, although in

The main sources of objection by
the Russians is the failure to in

cussed article regarding restora
tion of private property owned b!
! foreigners in Russia, or the com
pensation of the owners.
Other points of issue likely to b'

new DEFEAT

TO HARDING
indiana Senator May Get
Place in Presidents
Cabinet.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

copyright, 1922, by The Argus)
washington, D. c., May A.
president Harding is politically
Mise On Tuesday of this week he
toId the Washington correspond
Ants emphatically that he wasn't
taking part in primary contests
anywhere. The victory OF former
Senator Albert Beveridge on Wed
nesday over Mr.. Harding's personal
friend and chum, Senator Harry
New of Indiana, cannot therefore
he construed as a reputation of
tbe Harding administration. Nor
can the result of any primary con-
test involve the approval or dlsap-
proyal of the administration
hats the White house view before
and after the primaries.
II cannot be denied that Mr.
Harding wanted Mr.. New to win.
He told John c. Shaffer, the 1ndi-
ana publisher, that same thing d
few weeks ago. He had no reason
10 fear the coming of Beveridge to
the senate but he didn't want to
see New displaced. AS for the peo-
pie of Indiana, the view that the
administration prefers to take OF
the contest is that the vote was
more an evidence of intense fond
ness for Beveridge than dislike OF
Harry New.
Will Back Beveridge.
Before the campaign gets fully
under way. the influence of the Re-
publican national administration
will be thrown to former Senator
Beyeridge in the hope that he may
triumph in Indiana next Novem-
Der. Disaffection usually follows
q primary fight in Indiana and the
Democrats are counting upon the
accession of many voters who sup
ported Harry New and who would
rather see a Democrat elected than
to help Beveridge. Like all strong
fharacters, Beveridge has foes who
are opposed to him as intensely as
his supporters are for him.
On the assumption that Indiana
is nominally Republican and that
the Harding administration will be
able to marshal the supporters OF
Harry New and that Mr.. New him
self may in the end take the STUMP
for Beveridge, the speculation here
Is whether Beveridge will become
supporter of the Harding policies
or whether he will as of old join ar
Independent group and hammel
/ away at the incumbent admins
tration. Mr.. Beveridge has an
nounced that he would support Mr.
Harding if elected. Between nov
and next autumn he will have al
opportunity to amplify that state
nent with bill of particulars ant
the chances are the Harding ad
ministration will then help BeVer
idge to the full extent of its pow
ers.

WILL ATTEMPT TO
STOP FALSE ALARMS
Alarm on Putney Road Last
Night Fifth Within Short Time

Someone actuated by cussedness
pulled in a false alarm from box % on
Putnoy road, about r. 40 this morning.
The chemical fire truck, hook and ladder
truck and hose wagon responded.
The false alarm ringing seems to have
become epidemic as there have been
five cases of false alarms in the last
month. The trouble started a few
weeks ago when a boy gave an alarm
for fire on Green street which existed
only in his imagination, and a few DAYS
later came an alarm from the box at
the corner of Main and High streets.
This latter alarm came about | o'clock
in the afternoon when the streets were
full Of people but the culprit was not
caught. Then came two false alarms
on tha morning of the Fourth of July,
one from box 46 and the other from
box b. The first of these two came
at such time as to delay the ringing
Of an alarm for a fire in the Stewart
building on Elm street.
Last nights alarm was the climax,
and the village commissioners feel that
the practice must be stopped at once.
The commissioners intend to offer sub
stantial reward for evidence which viii
convict a person of pulling in an alarm
falsely. The five alarms to date have
cost the town at least $50. not to men

Investigation last night showed tire
tracks near the alarm hox, which lndi-
Gated that an automobile party had
driven up to the box.
