LEADER OF FRENCH
 ARMY BAND DIRECT FROM THE FRONT

With everything subservient to pa
 triotism, really good band music has become a rarity even at fairs and exhi-
 bitions. Musicians had to fight like other men. There was no time for ar
 tistry; poet and mechanic alike felt the
 pull of civic duty and marched away
 For the past two war years, there has
 been dearth of the good bands which
 formerly toured the country War has
 claimed these organizations as 1t has
 claimed much that has hitherto been
 held indispensable in the communal lie
 The coming of Capt. Fernand Pollian and his French army band of AZ musi- sians is therefore regarded as both a
 musical treat and patriotic event.
 As these men were sent over by the French government to help us in Wal activities, no little interest attaches te their coming to the Jefferson on Monda / ! night, February 3. under the ausplces of the Music Study club.
 Captain Pollian, up to five months ago has been giving some of these same sol dier musicians military orders to leave the front and come to America on tnis special mission. The men with him have all been wounded in action and carry
 service stripes as well as musical ol- plomas. Each man is a past master a' his own particular instrument, the French army band excels over all other military bands, and, in addition, every member is not only fine musician, but a >hero'

FORTY INJURED IN CLASH
 By Associated Press

Glasgow, January 31.-Serious con flicts between the police and strikers developed today in which at least 40 persons were more or less badly in jured, among them Sheriff Mackenzie, Chief Constable Stevenson, Deputy Constable Rennie and a number of poA licemen. These were all injured by bottles thrown by strikers when the police were clearing the streets in baton charges. Two of the strike lead- CTS. William Gallagher and David Kirkwood. were arrested and later were charged with melting to riot. Both are in custody.
 During the height of the disorders the riot act was read and it was con- templated to invoke military aid, but the order was cancelled when Galla- gher and Kirkwood were permitted by the authorities to address the strikers and exhort them to march off in or derly procession, as nothing more could be done today.
 Despite this advice, however, there were wild scenes of disorder and in various parts of the 'city footing was indulged in.
 Goods to the value of f2000 were stolen from one jewelry shop, while other shops were pillaged during the course of the riot.

ANNOUNCEMENT WELCOMED
 sy Associated Press

London, January 31.-(British Wireless Service)-The official announcement is- sued by the supreme council Thursday night is welcomed by the Times in an edi- torial as an indication that the contro- versy over the future of the German colo nies is tending towards an agreeable solution.
 "On the first capital point" the Times says, the allies and the United States are absolutely agreed They are unani- nous that in no circumstances can any colonies be restored to Germany. She has demonstrated her unfitness to be a colo nizing power by her abuse of the possess sions she had before the war. Economi- cally, she exploited the lands and the people for her selfish advantage; her civil administration was ruthless and barbarous tyranny and her political aim was the establishment of 'militarism.
 ''The man-eating tribes of German East Africa from which she recruited her soldiers, are the only natives of whose good will she could boast She has proved that colonies in her hands means brutal oppression to the inhaH tants and menace to Europe and America. To return them to her will be as unjust as it would be fatuous. v
 The Times compares the mandatory system with the system of direct transfer N~-O problem is in the discriminating choice of systems to be applied in different ceses It adds:
 SYSTEM SATISFACTORY
 There is everything to be said|for the conception of the mandatory system. The principles which 1t embodies are nothing more than the priciples on which our own imperial system is based and the wide acceptance with which those principles meet is really the highest pos- sible tribute to the fundamental doctrine of the British empire. The British do- minions, and especially Australia and New Zealand, claim that the islands near their coast should be transferred to their keeping. It is an exceedingly natural claim in the circumstances and 1t is due very largely to the present embry- onic condition of the league of nations. The sacrifices which the dominions have made are immense and entitle them to something more than consideration in a matter which concerns them deeply and on which their feeling Is very strong.
 .In other parts of the world there is mueh more to be said for the introduc- ton of the mandatory system. Palestfne, Armenia Mesopotamia and even East

London, January 31.-Except for se- rious developments in Glasgow. the la Dor situation was not materially changed today. It was reported that some Belfast firms had threatened to institute a lockout, but as yet this mas not been officially confirmed. The Bel fast concerns affected by the strike. however, issued joint statement con tending that any cnange of hours must be national affair and asserting that they are willing to adopt whatever standard may be nationally decided upon They declare that if a shorter working week than 47 hours is adopt ed only in Belfast, that city will be unfairly handicapped.
 The Belfast linen mills are still run ming, but 1t is considered not impos- sible that they may eventually become involved. Order has been maintained up to the present through the strike committee having agreed that their pickets may assist the police in keep ing the peace, and the pickets are pa trolling the streets wherever disorder is likely to arise. Strong efforts are being made to induce Dublin to join the strike.
