eight miles south of Chinook on leased

Biologists who have prospected the
Clear creek field, say Senator Taylor,
claim it to promise production as exten-

company is confident of striking gas at Il
depth of 800 feet, and the drillers claim
that if the first well should prove dust

Friday started out being a lucky

or at least goddess. 1t was named
by the early Scandinavians and they
were simple e-minded folk at that
time and did not know much about
women.
Later generations recognized the
error, and Friday Is generally con-
sidered unlucky.

there is a religious significance to

then quoted to the effect that the
Polish government had made repated
efforts to get into wireless communi-
cation with Moscow regarding the
plans for the conference, but that
Moscow refused to receive the mas
sages.
MIsUNDERsTAND PLANS.
Premier Lloyd George went on to
say he had been informed by the
British mission that Polish officers
on the battle front near Siedlce were
notified that the Russian delegation
had arrived at Minsk and, not finding
any of the Polish ENJOYS, announced
they would wait for them until 10
o'clock Wednesday morning.
The Poles had notified the Soviet
government that the Polish delega
tion would not leave for the front
until Wednesday morning." said Pre-
mier Lloyd George in his letter.
The premier expressed the hope
that NJ. Kameneff would send instruc-
tions regarding the reception of the
Polish ENJOYS and their freedom of
action in using wireless to communi
cate with their home government.
Refusal to allow the Poles TO use
the wireless arouses suspicion and
is not conducive to a peaceful solu
ton Of the crisis" said the premier.
BOTH ARMIES REGROUPED.
Members of the Russian mission in
London refused to make any state
ment regarding the delay in the Minsk
negotiations. 1t was understood that
they were in communication with the
premier's office during the morning.
The military situation has been
stabilized, according to a news agency
dispatch from Warsaw. 1t said that
both the Russians and Poles have re-
grouped their armies along the Bug

BY EARLE c. REEVES,
International News Service,

LONDON, Aug. 12.-War clouds
again loomed ominously upon the
horizon today. A cabinet council
was summoned to consider the de-
cision of France to sever all rela-
tions with the Soviet government of
Russia and to throw French support
to the de facto government estab-
lished General Wrangel, the anti
bolshevik leader, in southern Rus
sia.
A wave Of alarm has swept Great
Britain as a result of the unexpect-
ed action of France in breaking
away from Premier Lloyd Georges
policy of conciliation.
HOLD CONFERENCE SUNDAY.
The critical new European situa-
tion resulting from the decision OF
France to recognize the anti-bolshe-
vik de facto government of General
Wrangel will be discussed by Pre-
mier Lloyd George and Premier
"iiierdnu at boulogne on sunday, u
was learned this afternoon.
The conference was hastily ar
ranged after France had formally
notified Great Britain OF her decision
not only to recognize the south Rus
sian de facto government, but to give
military aid to General Wrangel as
well.
The bombshell announcement that
France has broken away from the
British Russian policy and will give
military aid. supposedly on big
scale, to the anti-Bolshcvik faction
in southern Russia, has overshadowed
for the time being the developments
in the Russo-Polish war
FIGHTING NEAR WARSAW.
Advices from Warsaw said the
Russo Polish parley at Minsk had
been delayed. In the meantime tho
Russian army is still moving upon
Warsaw and violent fighting is re-
ported on the Polish front.
Owing to the seriousness OF the
international political situation King
George has postponed his contem-
plated visited to Scotland, according
to the Pail Mall Gazette.
The Westminster Gazette believes
that France will try to prevent To-
land from making peace so that tho
Soviet armies now operating against
the Poles cannot be used for a cam
paign against General Wraugel

Better Times As to Pay and

Sees Stenographers RELOCATED
to Back Seat by Inven-
tiOns to Come.

WEST ORANGE, N. j., Aug. IL
Better times for the "white-col.
Jared worker as regards both pay
and work were predicted today by
Thomas A. Edison, electrical wizard
who was presented with an Amer,
lean silk flag in commemoration OF
the forty-third anniversary of the
invention of the "Ediphone" dicta-
ting machine.
BETTER JOBS IN SIGHT.
"Ofice. workers are going to have
better jobs as they get more auto
matte machinery to help them" Ed
son declared.
"Everybody7takes a hand these days
discussing industrial problems, but
don't hear much about the white
collar workers in offices. Do you
know why the office worker is as
well satisfied as anybody with his lot?
1t Is because he sees and understands
the problems of his boss and he's
satisfied to see the President pain
100000 salary because he is close
enough to know he earns the money
s "If you could make the Industrial
worker understand what capital and
management are doing for him 1t
would go a long way to cure this so
called unrest The average factory
hand today has no conception OF what
capital is being invested for him in
better machinery and tools to make
better job for him. Invested CAPT.
tai has increased enormously for each
worker while the value of manufac-
tured goods has increased per worker
in much smaller proportion.
"WORLD CAN'T BE slowed
England is our nearest competitor
in the amount OF horsepower used per
worker and in the principal industries
we are three times better off than
England-that shows our higher pro-
duction per worker and his bright
pay"
Edison declared factories immedi-
ately take up and use a labor-saving
machine. but offices are more back
ward. But experience taught him, he
said, that once 1T were proved to the
world 1t could not get along as well
without a machine il never went
back to the old habit for 1.-The world
can't be slowed up once 1t gets going
faster"
Stenographers will become obsolete.
Edison predicted, because as offices
utilize more machines, there will be
$50 much business for the number of
employed that persons willing to
waste time and opportunities In TAX
ing dictation will not be available"
George M. Austin, OF Philadelphia,
presented the flag to Edison.
