 PREMIER'S VIEW
Optimistic Impression In Paris Over Indem-

Paris, April 7.---An extremely op- timIStic impression now prevails re- garding the settlement favorably to France of the questions of her secur- ity against future aggression and the naturalization of the left bank and of part of the right bank of the Rhine. This is voiced today by the Petit Journal which in treating of the financial aspects of the situation also states that it appears France will be completely inEemnified.
 The belief prevails, the newspaper adds, that Premier Clemenceau's s viewpoint regarding reclamations from Germany and a. special indemnity for pensions for cripples and war widows will be upheld.

ALPINE sport" IN ENGLAND
Little Spot In Cumbrian Mountains
Which Offers an Imitation Of
the Real Thing.

Few travellers, even those familiar
with the by-ways, will think OF Eng
land In connection with the sport of
mountain climbing. Yet there Is a
bit Of tumbled country in the west Of
England where q coterie of devotees
of this perilous sport foregather an
nually at the Christmas season to get
taste Of alpine work near home.
The village Of Washable Head, In the
Cumbrian mountains, is the base Of
operations for these outdoorsmen who
find their Joy in scaling precipices with
a forty foot rope about their waists
and a hundred-yard drop below.
The village itself is one of the pic.
turesque bits of old England which
have not changed much In the last
500 years. Here you can attend serv.
ices 10 what is probably the smallest
church in the world-a tiny building
with seats for twenty people. There
is an inn, Of course, with a battered
signboard, which might have been mod
eled after description from Dickens,
except that it was flourishlng some
centuries before Dickens was born.
For eleven months in the year,
neither the inn nor the church at West
dale Head are crowded. But the land
lord at the inn has booked his little
rooms with their low ceilings eight
months ahead for the cold days of
December. This Is the season when
the climbers gather, and the chance
tourist who arrives at this time will
probably sleep on the floor under the
billiard table.

Turn Between the Acts,

One night the father of Kitty Ste

to the drop scene, with his back to il,
when the stage manager gave the
signal for the raising of the curtain.
Slowly the cloth went up, and as it
rose the coat-tails of Mr.. Stephens be-
came involved In the roller. and feeling
himself caught, he began to struggle
for freedom. His efforts were unavail-
ing, however. and when the roller
reached the top there was he In full

coat-tails. his head and feet downward.
his figure resembling half-open knife.
Then the stage hands became alive to
the situation. and the drop-scene was
lowered again and amid the boisterous
merriment Of the audience, the sounds
of hilarity increasing as the victim,
almost black in the face, landed on his
hands and knees on the stage and
crept into the wing.
