FRANCE AND ENGLAND

Paris, Aug. 12.-Premier Alexander
Millerand has informed the cabinet the
message of Premier Lloyd George OF
England, asking Poland to accept Boil

an agreement reached by the two pre-
miers in their recent conference at
Hythe.
French recognition of General
Wrangels regime as the de facto gov
eminent of southern Russia followed
the cabinet meeting at which Millerand
made this charge.
Recognition of Wrangel was accord
ed without consulting Britain as 1t was
understood she would oppose such a

anything that will be against said en-
ploye. Not only that, but the dis
charg employee who is kept from get
ting another job may sue the employ
er in court and reveive penal damages.
In the same chapter 1t is provided
that II two or more persons conspire
