HIGH LIGHTS IN THE TOUR WITH THE NATIONAL EDITORIAL ASSOCIATION WOMEN OF POLAND RISE AGAINST THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS PLEBISCITE PLAN 4 Vllna, May 12. (A. P.) The Polish women of Vllna have taken up cudgels agnlnst the league of nations. They shouldered arms last summer and fought (bolshevik soldiers tn de fense of the city and they assort they will fight again if the league should attempt to send an International I army to police the disputed territory! in event of a plebiscite. Vllna. at present, is occupied by General Lucien Zellgowskl. anil some 20,000 Polish soldiers, while repre sentatives of I'oland and Lithuania, with the league of nations as media tor, have been conferring with the vlow of determining the fate of the Vllna district, which is called Central Lithuania by General Zeligowskl and his adherents. The league's military commission of control, which since last fall has been endeavoring to settle the con troversy between Poland and Llthu- anla. until recently made its head quarters In Vllna. The control com mission has never been popular in Vllna. Dy a -recent decision which denied women the right of franchise, should a plebiscite bo held, the com mission came Into greater disfavor than ever, especially among the wom en. The commission members con tend that the birth records of Cen tral Mthuanla are so Incomplete that the voting of women would only com plicate matters It was in consequence of this de cision. and to manifest their disap proval. that a crowd of women at- tacked the commission's chairman. Colonel Chardlgny. and spattered his French uniform with eggs, some of which were not exactly fresh A few days after this incident, the commis sion removed Its headquarters from Vllna to Kovno. which Is the seat of government of the republic of Lithu ania. ■ There* are in all four concrete via ducts 31 feet above the water, one viaduct more than 10.000 feet long, the four making a total of nearly six miles of reinforced concrete.

Key West, as I remember it. claims a population of more than 10,000. but the place has the appearance of a town much smal ler. There is. however a magfinieent hotel, the Casa Marina, which is put ting Key West on the tourist map The structure was oiiened January 1st of this year but is not entirely completed. Already more than a mil lion has been expended in construc tion. Key West has an enterprising bunch of people and they will let the world (Continued on nage 3.) Dublin, May 12.- -(A. P.)—Efforts are being made to find a basis on which the divergent interests of Di ster and Southern Ireland may bs harmonized. Impetus has been given this move ment. which is regarded as an essen tial preliminary to any negotiations between the government and Sinn Fein, by the Irish Dominion league whose executive committee is engag ed in sounding the sentiment of both sections with a view to reporting its findings to the British government. It s understood there have been •sufficient modifications of the views of politicians as well as business men of both Ulster and the Southern counties to inspire confidence that their conflicting aspirations can be reconciled. The chief difficulty in the path of peace. It is believed, te to discover a common ground for discussion be- tween the government and Dal Eire- tween the government and Dail Ere- nounce its minimum terms has given a setback to the attempt to bring the government and Sinn Fein together.
