Animosty Of members Of the city
council toward Mayor Shank and his ad-
ministration was still smoldering to-
day after having burst into flames Mt the
regular meeting of the council last night.
Every opportunity to hamstring the
mayor or his subordinates who happened
to be connected with anything being
voted upon was seized by councilmen.
Some Of them made speeches and state
ments bitterly assailing the mayor for
falling to carry out promises spending
too much time trying to nominate Albert
j Beveridge for Senator on the Republi-
can ticket and threatening that there Is
worse to come.
The council which went out Of office
Jan. was noted for its criticism of the
administration of former Mayor Charles
w Jewett but persons who have watched
both say that never did the former in
dulge in such TRADE as the present
body did last evening.
Here are some o. the walleps the coun-
Gil took at the mayor and his aides:

SPOKANE, Wash. April 1S.--This
large outdoor State of Washington. in
the expressive phrase of this Western
country Is sitting pretty" well after
California. 1t is possibly in better con-
dition now than any Of the far Western
or Northwestern States. Banks appear to
have plenty OF money. The outlook for
crops is excellent and virtually the whole
population. If one may judge from con-
facts made in Spokane and Seattle, is
contented in its mind.
Washington is almost purely an agri-
cultural State, and of widely diversified
crops, growing wheat, apples, barley.
oats. rye sheep, cattle and fruits. This
spread of interests and diversity of crops
makes for steadiness and for its present
prosperity. 1t does not put all Of It's
things in oAe basket. What It loses on
the swings 1t makes up on the round
abouts.
Like Oregon. the State Is divided into
two parts by the Cascade Range of noun
tains; but unlike Oregon, the western
part of Washington Is divided as a fruit
and farming country. except for a COM
paratively narrow strip of arid lands
under the eastern side of the mountains.
Seattle on the western side Of the
State. looks to export and foreign trade,
and particularly Alaska, for it's pros
perity. Spokane's concern Is TO develop
the Interior of the State. Between the
two. Washington is coming along in the
world at a satisfactory rate Of progress.
This State Is now In a stage of de-
veopment where is describes itself In
terms of localities. il the cities speak
Of themselves and not of the State as
whole. The irrigated districts and the
apple country, through the Wenatchee
district. speak of themselves frst. 1t
may have been just chance, but we
never encountered anybody who. in de-
scribing the State and its assets, talked
about 1t as whole.
The northern part of Idaho has been
calmly appropriated by Spokane and

BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.
WASHINGTON. April 18.-Russia' S
separate treaty with Germany, signed
under the transporting nose OF the Genoa
conference. Is viewed in Washington al
synical manifestation OF Lenine's pro
gram, TO enforce international recogni
ton OF bolshevlsm.
Nothing could have been better de

American abstention from the Genoa

other, our Governments invincible lack
Of confidence in the soviet regime The
d diplomatic authorities OF the United
States are In possession OF the most re-
cent evidence from Genoa that Lenin is
using the conference for outright Red
propaganda The Rathenau -Tchicherir
treaty, amounting Tn the chaotic circum-
stances prevailing at Genoa to an Of
fensiye and defensive political alliance
Is construed In Washington as tbs
sovet's first triumphant stroke. Having
induced Germany to conclude a treaty OF
recognition, there Is reason TO believe
Great Britain and Italy will be Lenin' S
next detectives.
LENIN OPENLY
THREATENS TURMOIL.
Authoritative reports reach the United
States to the weapons the soviet gov
eminent Is employing to achieve its pri-
mary purpose at Genoa-recognition.
Lenin. more or less openly, threatens TO
embroil the western democracies In grave
domestic upheayals II they do not come
TO terms with Moscow. as Berlin has
just done Whether the soviet rcsorted
10 those arguments with Germany is not
known. but Lenin evidently considers
political conditions In both Great Brit
ain and Italy ripe for their use with
Lloyd George and Facta.
1t Is notorious that the British prime
minister's firtations with the soviet dur
Ing the last year were inspired mainly,
II not altogether, by Lloyd Georges ne
cessity to mollify the British labor party.
That organization is honeycombed with
soviet sympathies. It has been hounding
the prime minister TO recognize the de
facto government at Moscow. Italy has
been seething with labor and radical
socialist discomfort since the armistice.
Lenin's advance information and now, no
doubt. the first hand Impressions Of his
own delegation, may have convinced him
Italy could not resist a we'll directed pro-
soviet agitation.
