Cleaning Up Vice
Tampa Women Organize Purity
League

Tampa, Fla, June 12.-Five hun
dred Tampa women have formed the
Wonan's Protective League and say
they propose to clean up organized
vice by direct action-that they pro-
pose to undermine its support.
BY the establishment OF sort Oh
moral credit bureau this organization
proposes to furnish any woman a con-
fidential report on the double life?
OF her husband if she wants one. The
inquirer does not even need to give
her own name in making the inquiry;
she may designate postotflce box ad-
dress or any place where an agent
of the league may deposit the report
on its investigation.
Organizers Of the bureau say that
seventy of their number have pledged,
to do the investigating work in the
open while the remainder will work
in secret.
$50 many have such old reprobates
for husbands" said one Of the chiefs,
they can't work openly because
these husbands won't let them.
Therefore they will work secretly"
The theory OF the league is that if
man has not been walking the straight
and narrow path one OF the five
hundred will know about 4t-or at
least can find out.

Poincaire Appoints
Bishops
Nominations for Strasburg and
Metz Announced

Paris, May Appointment by
President Poincare of new bishops for
Strasburg and Metz created a re-
n1arkably feeble sensation, consider
ing that it was such a radical depar-
ture from French policy on religious
questions since the separation Of
church and State.
1t was surprise only to those to
whom il had not occurred that
France could not interfere with re-
ligious institutions in the returned
provinces. The Socialists alone man
ifeSted resentment Other anti -cler-
icals appear to have taken the view
that if Alsace and Lorraine must
have bishops. those bishops should be
French rather than German.
According to the French press, the
candidates most favored by the gov
ernment were not approved by the
Vatican. Monseigneurs Ruch and
Pelt who were given the preference
are, however, both ardent patriots.

Horse Holds His Own
Automobile Hacks Not Permit
ed in Rome

Rome, May 10.-The horse here
has not vacated his position to make
room for the automobile. There are
stu thousands of horse-drawn cabs
operating in Rome while there is not

Two reasons are given for this
equine superiority. First, there are
three thousand cab drivers in Rome,
according to the municipal statistics.
These exercise a considerable infiu-
ence in the municipal elections OF
Rome and as consequence no motor
vehicle concessions are granted. Inc
politicians know that in order to re-
tain these three thousand votes they
must be faithful to the horse and an

untold suffering should be taken from
hands of the Americans as far as pos
sibIe and wealthy Armenians, Of whom
there are many, should be compelled
TO bear some Of the financial burden
in the opinion Of an American obSev-
er who has submitted a report TO Of
fetal quarters in London. He does not
attempt 10 belittle what the Armenians
have suffered and will suffer, but su3-
gests that Armenians who are in u
position TO help their countrymen
have depended too much on relief
from America.
In Tiflis and in the Ervan republic
Armenians themselves would prefer
that Americans handle all relief
WORK but. the report adds, that is i'm
possible with the number of Amerl-
cans in that section Of the world. The
relief committee has been compelled
to employ many Armenians.
The report indicates that the Az
nlenians and Georgians Of influence
the Armenians lin particular. are more
interested in entrenching themselves
before the final peace decisions than
in looking after, relief. An instance
is given of this in respect TO railway
equipment. Georgians paint out Ar
menian lettering on Armenian cars
and appropriate them and the Ar
menians retaliate in the same man
ner. AS far as actual ownership, Is
concerned neither had right to the

100000 Men Yearly, and
Reestablish Old Military
Principles

With the American Army OF O2-
cl1patioa, May IT Correspondence OF
The Associated Press)-German mill
ta,v experts are publishing n Ger
man periodicals various SUGGESTIONS
for the organization Of new Ger
man army.
One plan is proposed by Major Cen
eral Won Francois who commanded a
corps in the Argonne opposite the
United States army last fall. His IDEAS
have been republished in numerous
German newspapers and magazines.
He proposes that 100000 men
should be drafted to service under
arms each year. one-half on April l
and the other ESQ, 900 on October i.
Every man capable Of performing
manual labor would be subject to MIL
itarv duty for one year beginning at
his twentieth year.
The 100000 annually drafted would
be used to defend the country from
attack and preserve order in the IN
terror. he urges All others capabie
of working would be drafted also on
April or October !, but after re-
ceiving a short course in military
training, they would be placed in Ia
Dor battalions to be employed in So
cialized branches Of industry when
have been taken over by the govern
ment. These men would thus be en-
gased in productive activity which
would pay for their own support and
contribute to that OF the armed forces
General Won Francois advocates an
army drawn up along the lines Of
the old model, saying:
.In the training aid development
of men democratic innovations should
be avoided. and the old military prin-
ciples should be maintained. One
obiec1 should be the establishment OF

Severe Fighting
North of Danube
Between Zecho-Slovaks ant
Hungarian Communists

s Vienna, Saturday, June Z (By the
Associated, Press)-Seyere fighting IS
in progress between Budapest and
Vienna, north Of the Danube, between
the czeeho- -Slovaks ard the Hunga-
rian communist forces. The Hunga-
rians have crossed the river Neutra
and are threatening Press5urg (poz-
sony.
The position of the Czechs in Slo-
vakia is more serious, as the Hunga-
rian communists have been stirring up
the Saoyaas against the Czechs The
sHungarians point out that the CZeehs
refused to give the Slovaks autonomy
and also have not treated them as
brothers. They add that for 1000
years the Slovaks and Hungarians
lived together and should continue TO
do so.
Patriotism is at a white heat in
Prague, according to reports from the
Czech capital The pride Of the Czechs
are legionaires who have been re-
garded. especially by the women, as
the worlds greatest soldiers. The le-
Sgionaries trained in France have been
doing the best work against the Hun
sarians While the Czech soldiers gen
erally are Socialists, there are no in
dicatfons that they have been tainted
by Bo1shevism.
The Budapest government has not
yet been able to secure an effective
connection with the Bolsheviki in the
region Of Kiev because of the presence
of the Poles in Galicia. 1t is report
ed that the effectiveness Of the Rus
sian soviet army against the Ruma-
mans in Ressarabia is due to the iact
that among their leaders are a large
number of German officers. 1t is ce-
.clared that the German officers have
formed an organization to assist the
RoIsheviki in the Ukraine.
