May Day Strike
To Make Paris
Eat at Home

the big hotels taken over entirely by
the various peace delegations, such as
the Hotel de Crillon, where the Ameri-
cans are quartered, and thase Of the
British and Italians, probably viz not
be seriously affected, nevertheless the
strike will hit the lesser delegations,
which occupy a few rooms here and
there in the smaller hotels and who
eat in the public restaurants.
No disorder is anticipated in connec-
tion with the cessation Of work, the
government having ordered that no
parades or demonstrations Of any char
acter shall take place, but Paris is
keenly expectant over the novelty of
the situation.
"Midinettes" Start Strike
As q prelude the "midinettes" began
yesterday and continued to-day strike
demonstrations in the Rue de la Paix
and the Place Vendome districts, where
the great milliners' shops are located,
much to the amusement of the visitors,
notably American, who flocked to the
scene to watch the vivacious working
nounce their employers.
The reasons for the calling of the
general strike for the day were pla-
carded to-day by the General Labor
Confederation as follows:
"May 1, 1919, l strike to demand,
first, the eight-hour day; second, total
amnesty; third. rapid rehabilitation,
and, fourth, just peace and disarma-
ment. | strike to protest against, first,
intervention in Russia; second, in
come taxes on wages; third, martial
law, and fourth, the censorship"
The government has found way to
tions which the May Day strike threat
ened. 1t has demobilzed the system,
dating from Monday last, on the
ground that the municipality had voted
in favor Of increased rates on the sub
ways, which would enable them to meet
the mems demands which caused the
January strike.
German Enjoys To Be Fed
Out at Versailles the proprietor of
the Hotel des Reservoirs, where the
German delegation has its headquar-
ters, hopes his official guests will not
go hungry or unattended. He says his
help, approaching the delicacy of the
situation, is indicating a willingness ss
to work. Unless demonstrators inter-
fere, therefore, meals will be served at
this hostelry as usual.
At tho Hotel de Crillon the Ameri-
cans approached the situation tactfully
with the hotel staff by asking pleas
antly:
Are you people going to take the
day off tomorrow"
The employees considered for awhile
and, remarking that they had nothing
else to do, thought they would work,
probably having in mind the generous
days of tips from the delegation at
taches and others who eat there.

French Press Expects
Italian Enjoys Return
Roman People Haze Spoken;
Time for Big Three to Re-
cede on Fiurne. Say PaDers

: PARIS, April 80.--The French press,
commenting on the speech of Premier
Orlando before the Italian Parliament,
finds spirit of conciliation marking
the address. AS result the news
papers express tho conviction that q
resumption of the conferences over
the Italian question will be possible,
and that ground for satisfactory un-
derstanding may be found. Italy, it is
pointed out, obviously intends to give
Premier Orlando free hand in deal
ing with her interests. The publica-
tion OF President Wilson's memoran-
dunn ALSO has helped TO create tho feel
ing Of optimism indicated

which will fully restore the Italian
delegation to its former agreeable
status in the conference.
Withheld Wilson Statement
In the meantime the work of the
conference is proceeding uninterrupt-
edly toward the signing of the peace
treaty. The situation was summed up
in the remark of one official, who said
Of the whole world should be pre-
vented by one nation over one city.
1t became known to-day that the
memorandum written by President
Wilson and made public yesterday by
Premier Orlando was given to the Pre-
mier on April IA, with the privilege of
immediate publication. The Premier
however, withheld making it public
until his speech.
Newspaper reports crediting Sal
vatore Barzilai, member of the
Paris with Premier Orlando, with say
ing that he did not intend to return
to Paris, are denied In a statement
issued from the Italian delegation
here The statement reads:
"We are authorized to declare that
the report stating that Mr. Barzilai
had told a member of the Tribunals
staff that he would not return to
Paris is absolutely groundless. The
understanding is perfect between Mr..
Barzilai and his colleagues of the
delegation and, like them. he will
adopt the course upon which the par
lament decides"
France Pledges Friendship
The continued friendship Of France
for Italy was expressed by President
Poincare in message to-day to the
Italian people, sent through the As
sociaton Of France and Italy. The
"Italy and France, as closely as in
war, will remain united in peace;
nothing will separate them. A break
in their friendship would be a
catastrophe for Latin civilization and
for humanity. France remains faith
full to it's engagements, it's sympathies
and its traditions.'

German Bishops Ousted
French Prelates Assigned t
Strasbourg and Metz


PARIS, April 26.-Official announce
ment was made yesterday Of the nomi-
nation by President Poincare, of Mon
signor Ruch, Bishop Of Nancy, to be
Bishop Of Strasbourg, and Monsigno
Peltier, Vicar General of Nancy, to be
Bishop Of Metz, succeeding two Ger
man bishops. The nominations were
made on recommendation from Pre-
mier Clemenceau.
This is the first time since the sep
aration of the church and state in
France that church nominations have
appeared in the official records. The
action arises from the fact that, while
relations between France and the Vat
lean arc still broken off, the German
concordat with Rome still applies to
Alsace and Lorraine.

PRESIDENT WILSON
ACHIEVES WONDERS

Paris, Jan. 31.--With only a fort
night remaining before President Will
sons return TO the United States his
achievements are already greater than
seemed possible OF accomplishment.
Even his critics concede them anc
admit no other man and no man not
backed by the influence OF America
and the sympathy of the people of the
world could have performed this task.
Among President Wilson's achieve
ments the following project them
selves across the pages OF modern
history, marking the division between
civilization based on national force
and that to be formed on interna-
tional understanding.
First, the creation Of League OF
Nations.
Second, the establishment OF the
principle OF no annexations.
Third. moral and intellectual domi-
nance over the assembled statesmen
OF the world.
Fourth winning the confidence or
all European peoples.
Fifth. the conduct of the Peace Con-
ference in public.
Another triumph of President VIII
SON that is personal and domestic rath-
er than international, is change OF
opinion in America concerning the ad-
visibility OF his presence here. HIS
achievements, which would not have
been gained without his personal In
tercession. have unified America on
this point. :,

and Importance took place in Louisa a
few days ago when l.. Il. Shannon sold
his merchandising business to L. f,

continue that line in the Loar building,
which he owns. Also. he will have his
real estate office there. His health has
been poor of late and he decided to
sell out and collect his accounts.
Mr.. Wellman is well known as a
travelling salesman. In which line he
has been quite successful. For the past
two or three years he has been on the
road for the Lobaco and Coca Cola
company, of this place. He is hustler
and is competent to handle the big
business which he is taking over.
