but the chief cashier, turned of head
by recent promotion, had, as the new
salesman put 1t, "been hitting 1t up"
OF late, with consequent loss of In
terest in quiet Miss Bland
The manager frowned as Miss Bland
took her seat, dictated rapidly, dis
missed her and then called her back.
"Take this memo for Clark. See
that Thaddeus is discharged at thetend
Of the week. Give him days notice
and no wages in advance" and then,
though Miss Bland managed to choke
back the exclamation of surprise that
came in her throat, the manager mut-
tered an apology.
mo reason why we should burden
ourselves with people after they are
too old to do their work, and it isn't
any Of our business what becomes Of
them afterward. I've seen enough Of
philanthropy in business. It. doesn't
pay. That's all now, Miss Bland"
Che left and as she went there were
two tears in her eyes, but they We're
both for herself. She was part of tho
spirit about her, and, save for her feel
ing of surprise, she felt no concern for
the old porter who had been dismissed
SO summarily.
"Sorry the old Fellows got to co.
remarked Bill Clark later when he
had noted the memorandum from the
manager. HE was as funny as a
crutch. Honest, I'll miss not having
poor old Thad to listen to and
to laugh at. He says he used to be 3
preacher, and there's nothing he likes
to do like preaching. Dye ever hea,
him?'
Clark was talking to the new sales
man, but it occurred to neither Of them
to feel pity for the old man who had
worked faithfully for ten years in the
big factory, at wage barely sufficient
to pay for his frugal meals and his
cheap tobacco.
Even when the kindly-faced, white
bearded old darby ansbled in, dragging
burlap trash bag behind him and
bending under the burden of his
brOOmS and InopS, no one seemed to
feel any pity, no one wondered-what
would become of the poor old fellow,
turned away from the only place III
the city that he knew as home. For
old Thaddeus, In lieu of better wages,
had been allowed to sleep on a cot in
the engine room. His hours of work
began in the late AFTERNOON, when he
began to clear out the trash and rub
bish from the factory, and lasted into
the night with the serubbing, sweep
Ing and busting.
Thaddeus went about his work, smil-
Ing as he did SO.

Aerial Photoqraphy In Sales.

Aerial photography has entered the
real estate field. Now, If you wish to
buy suburban residence, a downtown
property or country house, you car
go to a brokers' office and examine
probably with a reading glass, a most
interesting and detailed aerial photo
graph Of the neighborhood that you
have ingmind. The aerial picture very
quickly brings the customer to a de-
cision, either, to see the property or to
look elsewhere. 1t saves time and
the expense Of long and often futile
trips.-Youth's Companion.

There is only one way to

Dancing will cure colds. stave

up her dancing in her late
twenties-the idea being that
she had had her chances and If
she married she must leave tho
field open to youth: or if She
were still single. she was on

GermansWant I TreatyRelease
As Price for Rescuing Poland,
High French Official Declares

Naturally the Germans will pro-
claim their neutrality from on high
in order to make us pay more
dearly to have them abandon it
Apparently, to gain their co-opera-
tion. the allies must renounce the
proposition of German disarma-
nent, turn upside down their plans
for reparations, and. in brief. re
wise the treaty of Versailles. Thus
Russia may save Germany.
"Millerand sees this danger bet
ter than anyone and seeks to avoid
it. Unhappily the allied powers are
in difficult situation to aid Poland.
If the Polish morale does not re-
spond-and it is lack of Polish
morale rather than the valor of the
Red armies that has brought the
Soviet triumph-the allies have no
means of action. We cannot send
troops. What do two or four
French and English divisions mean?
They will not constitute a new
army. It would take fifteen or
twenty divisions. Where could
| France or England get them? How
could they transport them, inasmuch
as the only way still open is Dam
zig? Even if intervention were
possible, it could not be immediate.
In fifteen days at the most the fate
of Poland will be settled.
The allies are not in despair
/ that there can be no resurrection
! of Polish morale in the face of su
{ preme danger. But in order to eff
feet this. both Europe and America
/ should lend moral aid"
The Washington herald., 1920-08-10
By Public LedEcrD

Paris. Aug. "a detailed state
ment showing the entente point Of
view on Poland has been given by
one of the highest officials of the
French foreign office. The state
ment reads:
The situation in Poland is more
tragic than ever. Despite deceiv-
ing communiques, the River Bug,
which was the last natural ram
part of Warsaw, has been forced
on a wide front. The capital is
in grave danger.
A diversion attempted by Mar
shal Pilsudski on the south in the
region of Brody has been without
consequences. Successes attribut
ed to Gen. Wrangel will have no
effect on the immediate theater of
var in Poland.
The Russians are too interested
in destroying Poland, cost what it
may. Later. when they turn against
wrangel, they will isolate and de-
stroy him.
The Polish government fully un-
derstands the situation, has acqui-
esced by wireless to the Bolshevist
proposals and will discuss peace at
the same time as an armistice This
decision does not arrest Soviet ar
mics from pursuing their end to
dictate conditions in the conquered
Polish capital. We expect to see
the Cossacks in Warsaw this week
The entente Understands that the
German government sees it in
quite the same manner.
