Girls in Tight Skirts
Protest Safety Mirrors

Los Angeles, Cal.-The little
safety mirrors on cars of the
Los Angeles Railway company
have been attacked by the fair
sex of the city and already a
number of protests against the
mirrors have been lodged with
officials of the company.
Fashion, which has decreed
the tight skirt, is the real cause
of the complaint, and the women
declare they are embarrassed by
the stare of the mOtormen as
they climb aboard the cars.
On the other hand, officials of
the railway company have filed
q counter-complaint, charging
that the tight skirts cause undue
delay of the cars. In addition
they say the motormen merely
do their duty in watching the
mirrors to make certain passen-
gers are on the cars before
starting.

MEGOTTIEN WILL
 FEEL DEPARTURE

Paris April 25-By no one will the departure of the American soldiers from Paris be more keenly felt than by the humble "megottiens''' - the pickerE1p of cigar stubs and cigar cite ends. Ths has been a golden tme for them, and Papa Cinquante,' who is the recognized boss of the trade and employs some 30 pickers, replies disdainfully when folks grum- bIe to him about the scarcity of to- bacco.
 'rThere'g always tobacco where Americans are,'' he says. My men follow them up. Fine fellows! They smoke good stuff. and, what's better they just chew their cigars and throw away half of them. That's where we gather in our little harvest. The quality of my tobacco has gone ur severa; degrees" and he grinned.
 Just now business is fine" he went on. People are beginning to sit out side the cafes again, and my men pick up all the flag ends on the sidewalks Another squad cleans up the music hall lounges early in the morning Pecple smoke more than eyer"
 Out in the Latin quarter, Papa Cinouante has a drying and sorting shed, where the cirgar stubs are cut up and made into pipe mixture, and the cigarette ends are sifted and turned into new smokes. He pays from S5 cents to SIPS a pound for the raw material, "according tc quality" he says.

CLAIM MISSION
 FAVORED POLES

Stanislau, Capital of West Ukraine, April 26-(Correspondence of The Associated Press) - Failure of the Inter-Allied Mission to conclude an armistfce between the Ukrafnians and Poles at Lemberg is attributed by Premir Isador Helubowitz of the Ukraine to suspicion by Ukrainian leaders that the mission was disposed to be favorable to the Poles.
 Tt was due to our belief that this mission came prejudiced by Polish views" said the premier to the cor respondent of The Associated Press in an interview in which he discussed the determination of the Ukrainians to fight for Lemberg to the bitter end They did not come direct to us," continued the premier; ''but by the way of Poland and they stayed with us relatively only a few hours They appeared to regard us as Bolshevfki.
 What we want is a mission com ing to live among us who will see that we are a united people who may be defeated but will die for our rights. We are not recognized automatically at the Paris Conference, our diplo- mats are refused admittance to France and they are unable to pro- ceed to America
 'It is my fear that if the fighting continues here it will all wind up with another Balkan situation such as that which has harassed Europe and the peoples of the Balkans for many years and has kept these peo- pies poor. We regret to say that in our opinion the French fear of the Germans and the consequent willing ness toh clip the Poles is the cause of the inability to adjust the Lemberg oil fields dispute.
 We were asked to abandon our military lipes and retreat about 30 miles until we were clear outside of Lemburg. Even had we been will ing to grant this, our soldiers would not have permitted it. The truth is that the Ukrainian population ex- tends as far as Przemsyl but we ask ed only for Lemburg. It is true there are Poles in Lemburg but all thee ountry around is Ukrainian.
 Many dies have been told about us. One of these is that we are Bolshe- vist This is not true. We are now fighting the Bolsh eviki and will con- tinue to do so. Another lie is that we are using German money to fight the Poles. The truth is that most of our money comes from East Ukraine. The remainder we furnish ourselves or it is obtained from the oil refinery which formerly was the property of the Austrian government. The capi- tai of the oil country is partly Jewish and German but mainly French and English.
 "All we ask for Is our rights and these we will have now or. if Europe will not permit it, then 1t must be later, but at the expense of our blood and those of others.

 Now Sparks is appealing to Mrs. West to call for her mali, as she gava no address.
 Just take a slant at that bunch of sealed bids for heart, hand and happiness" remarked Sparks today. Most of them bearq. stamps, so I can't open them, but there are enough of them addressed to me to prove that Mrs. West has a fine list from which to make a selection of a life-mate"
 Sparks has more than 50 letters for Mrs. West from Los Angeles men. In addition there are re- sponses from BRIDGEPORT, CONN, Vancouver. B. C., Boston, Helena, Mont. Houston, Tex, New Orleans.

Peace Conference Watches Events In Rome AnxiOus|y- y-Baron SonninO
 And Ex-Premier Leave For Italy
Reports From American Embassy As to Public
 Feeling Are Ominous.

Paris, April 26 - Foreign Minister SOnninO and Former Minister SaIandra of the Ital- ian delegation left Paris Tor Rome at ? o'clock this morn ing. A large crowd of sympa- thizers gave them an ovation at the railway station.
 1ha Peace Conference is watching with intense interest the result of to- day's deevlopments in Rome, where Premier Orlando arrived this morn ing and where the events of the day are expected to disclose whether the hopes of reconciliation can be real izod. Reports received here from the American embassy in Rome are some what ominous as to the general state of public feeling there, as crowds have been parading the streets cry ing, 'Dsown with the Americansl" and Down with the English" and Viva Sonnino!" The foreign minister who outdid Premier Orlando in pressing the extreme demands made by btaIy under the secret treaty of London.
 These reports are particularly dis lurking, as the American and British delegations to the Peace Conference are said to have had reason to be- lieve that Premier Orlando might adopt a course before the Italian par liament which would lead to an am tcaible adjustment. Premier Lloyd George was particularly hopeful that the result would be brought about
 The reports of the popular agita ton at Rome and many other Italian centers, howaver, have led to fears that the Italian prime minister's con- ciEatory attitude may be swept away in an outburst of feeling by the populace which will insist upon de- mands far beyond those the Council of ths Powers or President Wilson will feel themselves able to accept.
 It has just developed that the British, American and French admir- a1s in command in AdriatiC waters had formulated a plan for giving Italy certain of ths Dalmatiar isl- ands which would have assured Italy of control of the Adriatic such a.s she desires. This joint plan was presented to the Italian representa- lives and was rejectedaes not sufi- cient.
 Meanwhile the plans for receiving the German delegates to the peace congress are proceeding, it being thought probable that the meeting with the Germans will take place next Wednesday, April 30, by which time the complete draft of the treaty of peace is expected to be completed
 The chief task of the Counci! of Three today and tomorrow will be to Bettle a large number of small details stip remaining open, together with some larger questions, including the disposition of the first line Germa n warSaipa.
 Tho pIenary session of the confer ence to be held on Monday may con- tinse through Tuesday in order that the work Of the body may be conn plead before the delegates proceed to Versailles on Wednesday for the first sessioA with the Germans. This ses sion is predicted on the completion of the treaty, which now is fully expect ed by Wednesday the council is op- posed to the delivery of tho treaty in piece-meal or to making 1t public In parts. The latest estimates by experts place the total length of the oocu- 1nent at 10000 words
