(Special Cable.) There is no knowledge to what depth French writers will go in criticising; President Wilson, America, Lloyd CJeoree and Great Britain. The war brought forth, its share and the peace conference proved another big field for writers of scandal. And row tha$ the senate has thrown out the Versailles treaty and "Wilson has called France "militarist" there ap pears to be no limit to the insulting the word is really not strong: enough remarks cast on those persons and their countries. French weeklies of low morale have now joined in and by eartoens depict France's "suffering" at the hands of America and Great Britain. Undoubtedly the worst criticism yet published in Faris is contained in a recent issueof Le Rire. Long articles deal with this "country's misfortunes while cartoons show "prosperous America and England gloating over their 'victory' during the war and during the conference." Le Hire's leading-article in the issue mentioned above' is entitled "Good jitght. Messieurs les Francais, or the Art of 'Beating It' in the Anglo-Saxon way." Chestnuts Out of Fire. "Again we have said to them, 'You fire first,' " reads the opening para graph, and it continues "but they did not wait till we told them to pull all the clothes over on their side. ' All that we have done is to take the chest nuts but of the fire. During the war we had an 'adv-ntage' over our allies. The proudest Englishman would say 'France should lead the entente.' Ef fectively she led all the attacks and every one found that was quite cor rect. "As soon as the armistice was signed, however, this right of prece dence was denied us. British and American diplomats gave us to un derstand that we could no longer oc cupy the front line trenches. On the military front our position was all in dicated, but on the economic front the third line trenches were good enough for . us. There was quite enough in honor and glory to satisfy us. Far more than any one else we loved and admired the stars in Old Glory. I tisn't our fault if today they don't shine with the same brilliancy in our sky of confidence." Thus ends the first article. The one following, just as bitter, reads: Bandits Allotrcd to Go. "You remember the aggression which had as its scene a certain quarter of Europe? A gang of ban dits, which had long been disturbing peace-loving citizens, attacked us at the corner ot Brussels street just after we had heard a fine speech by benator Leon Burgeois (.today presi dent of the French senate) on disarm ament. We were a few British, French, Belgian and Russian friends. At the first assault the Belgians re sisted, then we shouldered the whale burden. 'Hold fast,' said our English friends at the outset. Later the Americans came and repeated the " same thing. We held on all through the war. but now tht peace has come we hol4 nothing. The bandits were success fully driven off. but not arrested. 'Let them run!' said the English. When wo showed our astonishment and asked the British. 'Do you mean to say you don't want those people ar rested and punished as they deserve? we trot the answer, 'They are not so naughty as that,' and when we showed our friends how the bandits had left us we were told: 'Do not complain; they might have killed you. "At this time a big white-toothed devil came forward and, with a large smile, said: rcace be with you.' "'Which peace?' we asked. "'True peace; that which unites al peoples. Forgive those who have of fended you. That is the word of our divine master.' "But, we remarked, 'we do not know who that divine master was. Ve know of two divine masters for the American Monroe and Busi ness." " Bitter Crliicutiu Soted. Attacks and counter attacks against America and Britain occupy another pa.c or two. The articles are worded iu satirical phrases. They deal with all the questions of the peace treaty, and all through them there shoots out a poisoned spear of insulting crit icism. The series of cartoons begins with one showing a Frenchman addressing Uncle Sam and John Bull and saying: "One would say we no longer under stood each other," to which America and England reply: "My little friend, we can't all the time be speaking French." Another shows a stout and bloated miss representing England in com pany with an equally stout American soldier. "Let us be 'franc,' " they chorus. "If we have changed it is rather to our advantage." Extracts from the Bible serve as captions to other cartoons, such as "JoBeph Sold by His Brethren," in which one sees Joseph as a small French soldier, stranded before Ger many, while the brethren are Amer ica and England carrying away huge bags of coin. "Mary has chosen the better part, it shall not be taken away from her," is the caption for another. It shows Germania happy in the arms of Amer ica represented by President Wilson, while France in the background 1 is making slow headway in rebuilding her devasted districts.

The com mission will meet in Seattle on June 2 or 3 to hear protests on the report, it was announced following adjourn ment of the conferees.

Legal pro ceedings are already pending, attack Ing the legality of the action of the commission in putting in effect minimum wage of $18 in the hotel and restaurant branches, as recom mended by a former conference. The case will be argued before John M. Wilson, judge of the Thurston county superior court. May 27.
