ARMENIANS ASKING
 FUR PEACE DELEGATE
Republican A. p. leased Wirel

PARIS. Jan 2S-Armenian repre- scntativcs in Paris at meeting last nigAt, voted to forward to tho peace conference and the parliaments of the allied governments a resolution pro testing against the non recognition of Armenia as co-belligerent. and the refusal to admit it's delegates to the peace conference. The resolution de- ciares that in addition to refusing of fors- from Germany and Turkey the Arudeni2us embraced the allied cause ar the first opportunity, and fought side by side with the allies until the end. The Armenians. it is said, fought on the French, syrian and Caucasus fronts.
 The resolution recalls that after the BreSt-Litovsk peace treaty the poorly provisioned army alone resisted the Turkish advance.
 In recognition of these efforts, the resolution asks that the allied and as sociated powers recognize the rights of the Armenian nation. set their seal on it's independence already proclaimed, and admit it's delegates to the peace conference, so that the solution of the Armenian question may be made with the consent of the Armenian people.

CLAIM RIGHT UNDER
 WILSON 14 POINTS
I Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

BERNE. Jan. 2S.-German-A Austria under the terms of President Wilson's $ fourteen points, has a right to self-de termination, and q right to join Ger many. declared Karl SeitZ. president of the German Austrian national assem- ply. in q statement today to The Asso- ciated Press. He declared that it was impossible to form federation of the Danube from discordant clements of Hunsarians. Poles, CZechs. SlaVs and Germans.
 A misunderstanding regarding the present status of German Austria is apparent in the outside world. Herr SeitZ declared The belief is general that it is merely the shrunllen remains of the old monarchy minus the states which have established their own gov ernments. German Austria today is no more the shrunken remains of the old state than CZecho SloNakia or Hun gary. It Is simply an entity desiring to exercise the right of self f-determipation and to join Germany in self protection.
 German Austria is a democratic na tionai state. which stands upon the basis repeatedly taken by the entente statesmen, that peace to be durable must be d practical and workable re- arrangement of national territorial re- lduOnS Tn Europe. W Q interpret PreSi dent Wilson's S statement regarding the right of self determination in the sense that We can join our mother country Germany. because only in that way ca, our national and economic condition, of existence be assured and future ! wars aVerted 7

STRIKE ISOLATES. BIG CITY

BtENOS AIRES. Jan. 2S.-Buenos Aires has been isolated for twenty five days by the ports trike. which prevents the entrance of trans Allan tic steamers into the harbor. Forty nine vessels most of them laden with general carsoes for this city. were an chored in the roads today. It is feared that they will all proceed to Monte VideO to unload.
 The vessels alone could transport a sixteenth part of the exportable crops while an eighth of the crops could have been moved if this num- Der were added to the cargo carriers, which have been diverted from this trade during the month because of the strike.
 The loss to the strikers and shiR owners alone is estimated by the news papers at more than 10.000,000 pesos: the loss to the country it is impossible to estimate. The loss in customs has been a half million pesos daily.
 Three thousand cigarette and cigal workers struck today. paralyzing the !, industry.

WHY'S STORIES

Once upon time there was q
man whose name was Percy and he
had q habit of wearing red ties and
wrist watches and using q powder
rag to match his pink silk skirt.
Well, one day he was walking
green pasture when large
bull the kind they use on . Durham
tobacco sack, made q rush tor him,
having caught sight Of the dear
boys red tie. Percy was enraged and
he stamped his foot with anger and
he waited for the bull to come up to
him so he could slap 1t on the wrist
and tell it how naughty it was for
rushing at him SO ungentlemanly.
And when the he-cow got right upon
Percy he lowered his head, but Percy
tried to grab his horns and turn him
upside down. Twas just three months
later Percy came out Of the hospital
and month before he could sit down
to eat. Moral; Keep in the straight
and narrow path; don't deviate: lie
only when you have to and never try
