PARIS, May 1. (Special wireless.) The German fleet is not to be destroyed but distributed. Final decision has just been reached on this point in the face of strong opposition to the plan by the American naval advisers, who formu lated the policy maintained by the' American peace delegation. Great Britain, which at first was in clined to support the plan for the elim ination of the German craft as a war macTiine, shifted its position and came to the support of France and- Italy, which had desired the partition of the craft among the allies. Reasons for the American policy were fully set out in these dispatches several weeks ago. Gradually the be lief became general that this policy would be followed, because of its eco nomic and strategic soundness. Seem ingly the chance to acquire ready made ships was too strong a tempta tion to resist and the plan to destroy the ships lost all force when .British support of it was withdrawn. Danger to League Foreseen. The British will gain greatly by the distribution, and world naval suprem acy will become even more completely British than is now the case. In that prospect lies a fact of future danger to the whole future of the new league of nations, wnicn Is based on the theory of such equitable distribution of force that mandates of tbe league may be readily executed against any member. While a definite formula of appor-, tionment has not yet been devised, it is probable that Germany's 28 capital chips will be allocated according to the losses in ships' by the allied belliger ents. This would give Great Britain twice as many ships as any of the other nations. America will not- participate in the division, preferring to come out Of the war with no gains of any sort. Britain's Share Largest. Great Britain's share will probably reach 11 ships, of which six, will be dreadnaughts and five battle 'cruisers. According to the tentative plan, France will get nine ships, Italy five and Ja pan three. After the disposition of the capital ships smaller craft will be shared by the smaller .nations. France is not satisfied with the scheme of division and asks that apportionment be made 'on the basis of loss of life caused by the war, in all branches of the service. This would give France the larger share. She is holding out for its adop tion. Those who have studied the situation tegret the decision that has been reached, as they are convinced that the break-up of the German fleet would have been regarded as an earnest, of the professions for disarmament, and so would have been a herald of better days. Building Must Go On. They see in this ruling not only an addition to existing armament, but they see also in prospect a heavy in crement of similar armament among nations which are not to derive as much gain as others from the distribu tion, and which will now be forced to extra efforts in their building pro grammes in order to restore the former balance. Distribution will be of the greatest benefit to Great Britain, whost verwhelming sea power will be thus tssured for many years to come.

"If lie people want the constitution ipnged in accordance with any pro posed amendment, it's for them, the teople, ajai not he court, to make the liange. This is the answer which Attorney General Brown gives those attorneys who in amicus curiae briefs have con tended that Governor Olcotfs tnanda jnus proceedings now before the su preme court cannot determine the ques tion as to whether or 'not he serves out the full unexpired term of th late liovernor Wlthycombe. The attorney-general today filed a rief in reply to all opposing briefs ubmitted to the court during the past wo weeks, tie noias tnat the eon litution of Oregon is definite in giv ng Mr. Oleott the full powers and anolumenta of the office of governor. 3e cites the fact that the people of regon have twice before attempted to Biange ths constitution by having ieutenant-governor succeed in case of lie death or resignation of the gov vrnor, but until they do make some Hiange. the law specifically states that the office falls to the lot of the sec retary of state. "The organic law of this state pro tides two methods or avenues through which one may beoome governor of the state." reads his brief. "One method by election and the other by virtue of being secretary of state at the time when a vacancy occurs in the gov ernors oirice. "We urge that Mr. Oleott oan resign the office of secretary of state and continue as governor, for his-right and title to the office of governor do not depend upon his incumbency as sec retary of state.

White was standing at the curb watching the marcners ana waiting to cross the street, no wae on his way to the railroad yards, dressed in overalls and carrying a lan tern. Boone, broad shouldered and tuittl desnite his years, was ad dressing a crowd from an automobile and White listened.

The letter was a frank statement of a Kansas sheriff that he wanted a wife. Replies swamped Sheriff Anderson to lueh an extent that the matter ceased to be a joke. Kansas City newspapers printed special stories, and then the big officer's denial that he had written the letter.
