 "Mr. Lansing's article representing M- Clemenceau as a kind of tyrant and MT. Wilson and MT. Lloyd George as infants was a great exaggeration, g said the Italian statesman. M. Clemenceau's position at the Peace Conference was most difficult. Natur- ally fhe United States, like others, did not get the exact kind of peace she wanted Italy in particular suffer- ed from MT.

M. Jenning's s Service Station on Harrison street, last evening, and the film will con tinue tonight after successful week S run, drawing large crowds each night.
 The 'SX'' bumped the bumps over a course that affords the thrill that comes once in a lifetime to prove victor of a S1.000 wager, made by Robert Battle of California, that the car driven by a woman could not make the selected trip, which he foot ed with such obstacles as narrow turns, heavy grades, irregularly mass ed in rock and sand dunes, deep ra- vines, thick underbrush and every thing else characteristic of a country confronting it.
 The manner with which the car rolled over the desert was most re- markab1e and the dog who rode on the top was disturbed but d little bit Miss Shipman showed great skill in the manner which she handled the car wIh apparent east
 ro0rin~s' own orchestra furnished ,-:atchy music during the pictures, which will be shown three times to- night, at ', 8 and respectively.
