Dog days are here. M
And that means that it is going to be b

Here is the real why of the name dog days:
1t comes down from the times of the ancients
who called thef4O days of the hottest part OF

New York World).

Between France and the United States a
clear understanding on the Polish-Russian sit
uat:on has been fostered through Secretary
celby's note to the italian ambassador defining
the position of this government. In Paris its
reception has been so friendly as to indicate
general agreement with its terms.
On the main point-that the national indie
pendence OF Poland must be preserved France
and America are of one mind. Both are equally
determined that the bolshevik government un-
Ger Lenine shall not receive recognition as
rel resenting Russia. Nowhere is there hiAt
that either for expediency's sake will shift its
ground. Both from conviction stand where
they have stood all along. 1t is left to Russia
to right its own household as condition to
being admitted to the company OF civilized
nations. z. 81"
Premier Lloyd George, whose vagaries as a
diplomat are battling to those constrained to
seek cooperation with him, should profit
through the affirmation of consistent policy
toward Russia. Paris and Washington, work
ing tremendously, are on firm ground. The
soviet government, to be respected and trusted
must change it's character if not its form, and
| demonstrate its right to speak with more than
nominal authority for the Russian nation
Meanwhile Russia is treasured that no perma-
nent alienation of her territory by General
Wrangel or any one else will be cd6ntenanced
1t is cause for qualification that France and
America should be so nearly agreed in purpose
The two great republics, steadfast friends SC
lcIg, and late comrades in arms, should unite
in zealously seeking a lasting solution Of the
1 problem in eastern Europe.
