Paris is again becoming so cosmopoli-
tan that humorous writer's are com
menting caustically-albeit with consid-
erable justice-on the fact that If one
wishes to hear the language of Racine
spoken it can only be accomplished by
taking a Pullman sleeper to Vienna, Ber-
lin or Rome. where French has lost none
Of its pre-war prestige.
NJ Messac's plaint in recent issue OF
La Ldberte may seem exaggerated, but
the fact remains that there has been an
unprecedented incursion Of aliens since
the armistice. and some French firms
are experiencing the unusual difficulty
of finding interpreters capable OF hand
ling the score or more tongues which AN
be heard in a casual round of Partisan
business or amusement places
Il can no longer go to restaurant for

walters. who are all Italian, understand
nothing but Italian. / cannot even have
a suit made by the renowned tailor
Machinchosyk his cutter speaks only
Czech. It's impossible to buy fur collar
AT Leninovitch's store, for all the sales
men speak nothing but Russian.
Likewise at the Turkish baths the
massage artist gursles only Turkish be-
tween his rubbings. Even at the Auc-
ton Sales Hall it is almost vigorously
prohibited to speak French. The money
changers. who hail from Athens or the
south. express themselves only in the
language of Homer and NJ. Gouparis.
Il like jewels. but the jewellers. with
their large, almond shaped eyes. speak
only Armenian or Arabic. If | go to a
dance, since the jazz bands there is noth-
ing but a negro accent. At the movies

clowns, Scandinavian stars. Ukrainian
dancers, Jugo-Slav comedians. All the
explanations projected on the cinema
screen seem to be American translated
into Spanish by an Italian or into Por-
tuguese by a native Of Georgia-and
that makes it cinema French"
All pf this may explain why the pro-
posal What the League Of Nations foster

to arouse the furore of protest that was
expected from NJ. Viviani or NJ. Gabriel

ONE of the most ancient de-
vices which also has long
served as a significant symbol is
threatened with doom by the ad-
vance of civilization. Elaborate
experiments are going on here
to find type of foot gear for
horses which if successful will
make the horseshoe as it has
been known for 400 years as
extinct as the dodo. The pres
ent hard, fiat pavements, de-
signed principally to sustain mo-
tor traffic present a surface on
which ordinary horseshoes either
slip or cause Objectionable in
dentations and so the authorities
are joining the humane societies
in trying to devise a new form.
None of those so far tried out
bears the slightest resemblance
to the old symbol of good luck.

A new scheme for solving the traffic
problem along the Avenue des Champs
Elysees has been put forward recently
in the hope of making it less difficult
for the 10000 vehicles which pass
through the avenue daily to find room
The main difficulty in regulating this
traffic is that so many of the vehicles
stop to take on or let off passengers,
causing constant Interruptions in the
flow of traffic.
Some time ago an experiment was
made by which stationary vehicles
awaiting passengers were required to
remain at right angles to the foot paths.
but il was found that this method
greatly reduced the width of the road
way for traffic and so was abandoned.
II is now proposed TO make recesses
sixteen feet deep in the foot paths
where waiting vehicles will stand at
right angles 10 the pavement. These
recesses would leave the full width of
the roadway for other traffic and would
avert the danger from collisions be-
tween stationary and passing vehicles.

Berlin, Jan. 8.
Great interest has been aroused among
experts and collectors over the dis
covery OF an early Rembrandt in a
village OF the Harz. The picture. which
is a portrait Of distinguished looking
old gentleman is believed to have been
painted by the great master in the year
1880 or 1891 1t Is done on an octagonal-
oak panel twenty-five inches high and
sixteen inches wide, and is surrounded
by the original pinewood frame over
laid with horn
Experts who vouch for the authentic
ity of this Rembrandt say that the
frame was made according to the mas
ter's own instructions.

City Considered Lost to Lith-

Reached Impasse.

Recommendations of Foreign

SOMEWHERE IN LATvIA, Dec. 81. 1920
(via LONDON, Jan. S).-The Polish
Lithuanian negotiations with regard to
Wilma now have reached an almost en-
tirely hopeless stage. Wilma may be
considered lost to Lithuania.
The Polish attitude is clearly evident
from the commentators made by the
Polish Foreign Relations Committed
after a conference with Prince Sapieha.
These recommendations are that the
Warsaw Government introduce through
out all central Lithuania political. civil
and military administrations, and they
seem to have been adopted.
NJ. Raczkiewicz, formerly assistant to
NJ. Osmolowsl<i, chief of the eastern
territories, now is being nominated Com
misar in Wilma. He will replae Gen.
Zeligouski who probably will leave
Wilma with members of his Govern
ment."

ment instigated the seizure of Wilma BY

Wilma has figured in the aspirations
of Polish expansionists for nearly 70C
years. The League of Nations decided
at its first assembly in Geneva to send
an international force to Wilma to en-
able the people of that city to decide
what their nationality shall be- What
its possession means to the Poles is in
dicated by recounting some of its tur-
bulent history.
Vilua was founded by Prince Godimin
of Lithuania, who resigned from 1915 70
1340. and, with Kiev, it formed an i'm
portant part of Southern Russia Godi-
min and King Wadislaw of Poland
united in a war against the order OF
German Knights but it was not until
nearly 100 years later that the two coun-
tries established a common Reichstag
This was at Horodlo, on the Bug River
and here the rulers of the two lands
cooperated in deciding all important
issues.
There was a complete union Of Po-
land and Lithuania in 1863. as far as all
state affairs We're concerned, and this
continued until the end of the eighteenth
century. Although Lithuania was di-
vided into six governmental subdivi-
sions in 1895 and was under the rule OF
Russia a writer in the Danzig ZeitunG

 Arm in Gin Accident

Chas.

MT. Stemac was short of labor Wednesday and he went to the gin to assist in the work. While engaged about one of the gin stands directing the move ment of the cotton his right hand was caught by the saws and was literally torn off, and his right arm was frightfully lascerated up to and above the elbow. Dr. k. D. Wall, Dr. H. D. Bogart of this city and Dr. Miller of Gill, attempted to operate on MT. Stemac Wednesday night. but he was so weak by the shock of the accident that he could not take the anesthetic. Temporary surgical work was done Wednesday night and on Thursday the physi

SIMPLICITY OF GOVERNMENT

On November 2, by a convincing vote, the people of the United States repudiated Woodrow Wilson his personality, his idealism, his Ad- ministration, his conduct in and out of office, his Treaty of Versailles, and his League of Nations. The 0great and solemn referendum which he planned and promised has destroyed him. The prophet has been dishonored by his own coun- try. He has been swept by the tide of aversion down from the highest pinnacle ever momentarily attained by statesman of modern times.
 The man whose pen splintered the words of Prussia, the man before whose immage the peasants of Italy burned candles, the man who gave form to the loftiest political ideal that ever captured the conscience of the world, is broken and beaten by the rods of his own people.
 There is no need to dwell upon this personal tragedy. It is clear, | it is complete-and 1t IS as old as | time.
