BERLIN, Nov. Tt is understood
that the situation in Bavara is giving
the government the gravest concern
The Bavarian press continues to dis
cuss the question Of home guards in
stalwarJ terms, refusing to see the
danger to German unity through fur
ther maintenance OF the guards and
the French occupation of the Ruhr
which would result from this violation
OF the treaty terms.
The Bavarian news papers insist that
Trance already has made up her mind
TO occupy the Ruhr Valley and that
this decision cannot be altered by
merely disbanding the home guards.
Some sections Of the Dress assume a
truculent tone, asserting that Bavaria
under no circumstances will bow to q

Labor Unions Aroused

clodes from the reported concentra-
tlon OF French troops at various points
along the frontier, the establishment
OF drill grounds and airdromes in the
occupied area and belligerent utter
ances in the French press, that
French militarism is only awaiting a
Favorable opportunity to occupy the
Euhr coal district"
The league statement says that such
occupation would be 4 catastrophe for
Germany economically. politically and
industrially in its relations with the
rest OF Europe and all civilized ma
tons. The league raises sharp voice
Of protest against the "French course
of violence" and 'urgently warns the
responsible authorities in France"
against the execution of such plan.
The Labor Union League invites the
labor organizations of other countries
to join in this protest, and asks the

London to do likewise.

THE LANGUAGE OF FLOWERS
1t Dates Back to the Time of the An
cient Romans, and Probably Is
Much Older.

II was custom of the Romans to
paint n rose on the ceiling of the BAN
quet hall, signifying that what was
told ut the feast was not to be re-
peated. From this custom originated
the expression, subrosa, the Detroit
News recalls.
The rose Is the queen of love and
beauty and is the most eloquent of
all in the language of the flowers. The
red rose Is token of love and the
white of purity. A moss rosebud Is a
confession of love, while rose leaf
says, You may hope" A white rose
signifies, II am worthy of YOU" and
the yellow rose asks, Are you jeal.

TRACE JAZZ MUSIC TO CHINA
Deals With Musical Criticism
20 the Point.

The hunt for the origin of jazz has
led to the African jungle and to the
music of cannibal feasts and orgiastic
dances. But, further back 1t can be
traced to the beginnings Of civilization
in China itself. Confucius, who lived
nearly $500 years ago, edited a book
of ceremonies called the ali Ki." The
book of ceremonies was a venerable
Chinese classic long before Confucius
gave his attention to 1t. The sayings
In the Iii III" represent a viewpoint
OF musical criticism in China which
perhaps corresponds to the date as
signed by the jewish chronology for
the Garden of Eden The al XII" de-
scrihes music as a powerful influence
for good or evil, and pictures the pre-
historic syncOpation as follows:
1.-THE airs of Knng go to wild ex-
cess and debauch the mind; those of
Sung speak of slothful indugencies
and of women and submerge the mind
those of Wei are strenuous and fast
and perpleX the mind; and those of
Xiii are violent and depraved and
make the mind arrogant The airs of
these four states all stimulate libidi-
nous desire and are injurious to
virtue"
If not jazz, what else falls in with
the description? Kang, Sung Wei and
Khi-all their scores have been lost.
Only the mOnotOnous drum beat which
they doubtless contributed to prehis-
toric jazz remains in modern Chinese
