UKRATNIANS FIRE ON
PRESS CORRESPONDENT

Headquarters of the West Urainian
Army Chodoroff, March 17-(Corres-
pondence of The Associated Press -
The impression prevails throughout
the kUkrainian army that the inter
Allied Mission( Which visited Lem
burg in the latter part of February
to negiate an armistice between the
Ukrainians and Poles) was unfair in
its proposals for the armistice.
The Ukrainian soldiers were so
wrought up over this point that they
fired upon the correspondent of The
Associated Press who crossed from
the Polish to the Ukrainian lines with
the intention of proceeding to Stanis-
lau, the capital of West Ukraine.
1t was pointed out by the command
er of the troops, General Pavlenko,
that, while the Ukrainians demanded
that their western border extend as
far as the river Santhus including
Lemburg, the Entente Allies proposed
that his troops should give up Lem
burg and all the territory they had
conquered and retire on line to the
east of Lemburg and also to surrend-
er the oil basins to the southwest of
that city.
1t was stated that the Inter-Allied
Mission paid but two brief visits t.
discuss the subject. First the mission
came to deliver a quasiultimatum re-
garding a truce which was accepted
by the Ukrainians although hostili-
ties were stopped at a moment when
the Ukrainians werr preparing to take
the city of Lemburg.
The Ukrainians were disappointed
because when the mission visited
them for second time, on February
26 the Allied representatives went
only to Chodoroff to meet General
Petlura, although the mission had been
invited to Stanislau and the Ukrain-
ians had hoped and expected they
would visit their capital city.
The talk with General Petlura came
to nothing. The Ukrainians declare
that it was too evident that the mis-
sion was prejudiced in favor of the
Poles and they add that the Ukrain-
ian officers say their own men would
refuse to obey if they were ordered
to retreat from positions they had
won and the land which they declare
is purely Ukrainian.

MELON SHIPPERS WILL
HAVE CARS THIS YEAR

) Th3masville, Ca, May 11.-Melon
shippers this season will have no need
to fear a scarcity of cars such as
threatened to handicap the business
last year, owing to war conditions. 1t
is said that there were never seen so
many empty cars as are sidetracked
at the various towns on the railroad
lines of this section now and the ship
pers can be assured of ample provis-
ion for their melons.
It will need a large number of cars
for the crop this season, if the amount
Of acreage in melons pans out the
average yield 1t is said that on the
line of the Georgia Northern read
alcne there are 5000 or more acres
planted and from all the other sec
tions in this territory come reports of
many hundreds OF acres. Around Pei.
ham there are several hundred acres
in watermelons and more in canta
loupes. While Thomas county has
gone largely into melon planting the
cantaloupe acreage is small and there
will be few grown here for shipment.

ANALYZING YOUR PREJUDICEs

What absurd things preJudices
usually arc.
Partly because they needlessly hamp-
er these who hold them in one way or
another.
Partly because they use up nervous
energy uselessly.
And partly because they often have
so little basis that il their possessors
examined into them carefully they
would often be surpriscd.--and perhaps
ashamed.
This is what happened to me when 1
day.
For years 1 have had a subconscious
prejudice against that kind and brilliant
man. Richard Harding Davis.
just A Half Conscious Prejudice
The spirit in which read his stories
was slightly tinged with animosity.
Not actively. you know. so family that
I hardly recognized it myself
And then something happened which
made me conscious of it and l said:
why have this feeling" After
probing down into the bottom of my
heart l found out. Once when | was
very young l read or heard that when
anyone asked Richard Harding Davis
for his autograph he wrote back that
he would send it il they would send i
dollar.
AS q child had the most passionate
scorn Of mean or mercenary qualities
nnd this seem TO me a shameful thing
Tor q big author 10 do,-hence the
prejudice.

LABOR CONFERENCE
ADMITS DELEGATES

WASHINGTON. Nov. Admission to
the international labor conference of-ehe
labor delegate from each Of the coun-
tries OF Japan, France and South AfrGa'
against whom protests have been pre-
scented, was decided upon today by the
credentials committee OF the conIerence,
The question of seating the Argentine
labor delegate, also protested, went over
until the delegate arrives>jn the United
States.
The. committee also will recommend
that the Cuban capital delegate. while
retaining his seat be deprived Of vote
in the absence of labor representative
from that country.
There were no developments during
the day on the situation created by Inc
fact that fourteen states have nominal
cd only government delegates. While
some labor delegates were inclined TO
make fight against their participation
in this conference others were disposed
TO allow the present conference TO con-
tinue It's session undiSturbcd, but TO IN
sist on change before the next annual
meeting in the treaty provisions laying
down the basis OF representation. The
question was referred TO the commission
on draft standing orders. but no action
was taken today.
News that a party oil fourteen Ger
mans believed TO be delegates to the
conference, had not sailed as has been
reported, was contained in n message
received by the state department and
made public by conference officials.
! The reason given here was that no trans
port accommodations were available, and
1t was said that the Germans now are
attempting to obtain passage Of neu-
trail ship.
Debate on the eight hour day and the
forty-eight hour week will open when
the conference. reasscmbles at 2:3O
o'clock tomorrow, Acceptance of tho
forty eight hour week in preference TO
the eight hour day was recommended by
the organizing committee. but an effort
will nc made by many delegates TO OBJ
tcin an acknowledgment Of the principle
of he eight hour day.

BRAIN TESTS.|

7 MINUTES TO ANSWER THIS
No. 2G3.

An investigator OF foreign university
training describes a beer drinking CON
test between the Red Caps and the
Blues. In his surprising account It APP
pears that each student invited all the
others to pledge his good health in HOW
Ling bumpers Of beer. There were less
than two dozen students present. and
yet the Red Caps Collectively drank los
more stems than The Blue Caps.
Let us figure out how many bumpers
were consumed at that intellectual con-
test.
There are twelve rows and Hobbs and
Snobbs each plant and cover six rows,
Hobbs plants a row in twenty minutes.
, Snobbs plants in forty inmates and COW
ers in the same time. rs each earns
the same amount each must do half the
planting and half Of tho covering, rs
there is no way of determining the rel
alive values Of the two kinds of work.
Each must therefore take the same time
, to plant and cover a row. AS Snobbs
takes twenty minutes moro 10 cover
than Snobbs takes to plant, Hobbs must
take twenty minutes more to cover than
Snobbs takes to plant, but Hobbs time
for covering Is half as much again as
Snobbs; time for planting so that
Snobbs' time for planting is forty min
utcs per row.
