Legend of Virgins
Favor Guides Poles
In Removing Capital

Berlin. Aug. "A superstition
may determine the new Polish seat
OF government
The Polish authorities today were
swayed by an old story which was
being discussed in connection with
the proposed change in government
headquarters. The story may be er-
fective in causing the choice Of a
spot near Kattowitz-unders
also TO be known as Strzemieszyce-
where 500 years ago the Poles won
a great victory. This is the legend:
Five centuries ago the Holy Vlr-
gin descended from heaven upon the
Polish arms and blessed them,
thereby giving the fighting Polish
hordes strength to gain their great
victory.
Travellers from Warsaw today who
were in close touch with of1cialdom
said the government planned to
move either to the place made sa-
cred by the Holy Virgin in those
days Of long ago, or to Cracow. The
former location was being given the
more favorable cOnsidera ton be-
cause IL was believed 1t would
strengthen the morale of the Polish
fighters.
The United States legation. ac-
Cording to these persons, remained
at Warsaw and would not leave un-
til the Polish government Withdrew.

Daddy (Col.) Halstead, of

his heart set upon dropping in

in plenty Of time for his little
daughters birthday party Sat-

But he didn't drop in.

Gresham Haines, of Boiling
Field, Col. Halstead took of"
Friday afternoon and headed to-
ward Asheville, 275 miles away.
But in the open country near
Belvidere, n. c., the plane ran
out of gasoline. The forced
landing meant spending Friday
night far outside the city walls
of Asheville.
The railroads are still oper-
ating. The colonel arrived Sat-

not quite so spectacular, but a
birthday party is a birthday
party-and he was there.

I may be spilling the beans, but
here is guess as to what may
happen. In a moment you will see
wherein the story fts into a wom-
ans column The story is this:
The President, intrenched in his
study, is not beaten as yet. The
covenant of the league OF nations
says it is the President OF the
United States who must call the
first meeting of the assembly of
the league of nations. This is en-
tirely independent Of whether the
United States has ratified the treaty
and thus become or not become a
member Of the league. The pro-
visionary council of the league has
asked the President to call the as
sembIy early in November.
VIII Meet at Oeneva.
He has agreed to do so. specify
ing Geneva, seat of the league, as
the place of meeting. But, OF
course IL Lue I Hlleu states mas
not ratified the peace treaty by
that time. this country cannot be
officially represented in this con-
gress of some thirty-odd nations,
already members of the league. She
will have no voice in the vital de-
cisions to be made.
What is to prevent the President.
so the story goes, from playing a
calling InnOraS1
into session in September or OCto-
ber. and putting it up to Congress
again whether or not this country
shall participate in this new world
federation? He may even aCqui-
esce to more reservations than he
has heretofore agreed to. By this
doube action he will either take
the league out OF the campaign or
toss it again straight into the lap
Of the Republican party.
Three From Each Nation.
The reason why this little tale
fits into this column is the selec-
ton Of the assembly of the league
Of nations. Each country. member
of the league, may have three rep
resentatives in that governing body.
though only one vote. The cove
nant des not stipulate how those
representatives shall be chosen.
This seems to be left to the pref
erenCe Of each country. But II Is
likely, for the first meeting at any
rate. that the presidents or pre-
miers will make the appointments.
It is not improbable that one of
the three representatives from the
United States is to be a woman.
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait with
her experience as founder and pres
ident of the International Woman
Suffrage Alliance. has had train
ing which would fit her for such an
appointment.
