London, Oct. 11.-Any Russian sub
marine encountered on the high seas
will be attacked on sight by British na-
val forces, according to Il note sent by
Earl Curzon, British foreign secretary.
to NJ. Tichitcherin, Russian Bolshevist
foreign minister, which is published
along with other correspondence re-
Gently exchanged between Great Brit
ain and soviet Russia.
Polish forces occupied wilma, but de-
tails are lacking, says the KoynO cor
respondent of the London Times.
There was an exodus of the native
population of Wilma, the correspondent
adds.
Prince Sapieha, foreign minister, an
nounced that negotiations with Lithu-
ania concerning an armistice and a
line of demarcation between the
armies of the two countries had been
concluded. The Polish delegates, he
added, had refused to recognize the
treaty between Lithuania and soviet
Russia.
Warsaw.-Lithuanlnn insurrection-
lists, consisting of u group of General
Zellegousky's army, have occupied VII
ma, the Lithuanian capital, in protest
against the declaration of the Lithu-
anian and Polish peace delegate that
Wilma shall be included in Lithuanian
territory.
The insurgents contend that the
Wilma and Grodno districts rightly be-
long to Poland.
Earl Curzon points out that he pre-
viously sent communication regard
ing n submarine launched in the Black
sea in which he said that in view of
repeated declarations of leading mem
bers of the soviet that that govern
ment considered itself in state of
war with Great Britain and in view of
the impossibility in these circum-
stances of waiting to ascertain wheth-
er the intentions of the submarine con-
trolled by the soviet government were
hostile or not, there was no alterna-
tive but to issue orders to British
ships to attack the submarine should
it be encountered on the high seas.
Upon hearing rumors that subma-
rines of the Bolshevist fleet had put to
sea in the Baltic, Earl Curzon sent his
note. To it NJ. Tchitcherin replied that
Leonid Krassin, soviet representative
in London, would receive instructions
in the matter.
Earl Curzon also demanded compen-
sation for the widow and son of

Another Dream Shattered.

About the only coiOrful, exotic
dream left the young man of today
who wishes to wander, is the dream
of the South sea islands where beau
tifal brown maidens basil in a tropical
sun and dance sweetly in the moon
light on silver beaches. CARRIED in a
red hibiscus flower and a grass CIR
dfe. And now come two young Ameri-
can travellers who say this is also a
dream. James Norman Hall and
Charles NOrdhOff in Harper's declare:
"The (Tahitian) women were bare
footed and bareheaded, but otherwise
eonventiOnally dressed. This, we sup
pose is an outrageous betrayal OF u
trade secret, if one may say the writ
ers Of South sea narratives belong to
a trade. Those seriously Interested
In the islands have, of course, known
the truth about them for years. 1t
is still a popular miscOnceptiOn that
the women are half savage, un<elf-
conscious creatures who display their
charms to the general gaze with naive

The lamp chimney of today was CIV

haviOr of a small boy. The first lamp
having an air chamber was invented
by q Swiss, Jules Argand. A wick was
introduced into hollow tube and the
tube inset into the lamp. AS this al

much brighter fame was given than
by any lamp then in use. Jules had
small brother and as small boys OF
that day were very like the small boys
of today, Jules was instructed TO
watch him, and especially to look out
for fire and little fingers.
Jules remembered his instructions
but a few minutes and then became
so busy that his little brother quite
passed from his mind. He was bend
ing over a bench, straining his eyes to
see some minor defects i'm his work,
when suddenly the room became much
brighter. Jules turned and discovered
the boy with a bottOmless oil flask
which he had lowered over the wick
of the lamp. The fame had leaped
