the Post flying machine would fly
over the city in the afternoon to
distribute the latest papers and
drop few hundred pounds of

canard. and many of us who had

much disappointed.

Gee, if news was as plentiful as

On Friday morning last, the
High school assembly was agree

from Mr.. Matthews. His address
proved to be very interesting, and

will prove capable of holding this

ed from his paternal advice.

On Monday morning there was
quite large and attentive assem-
bly, gathered at the old G. C. H. S.
building. How many do you
s'pose were there? The whole
number of five, besides the teach
ers. (They'd come if they had to
fly. if there was any way to con-
tinue their torturing of we poor
souls. No offense, at all, faculty.)
However, the number was so in
creased on Tuesday that only
those living in Russell and New
ada were absent.
Wonder why the English class
wears such discouraged express
ions on their angelic countenanc-

"orate." Why everyone knows
that every student in the Senior
class would rather talk than eat.
Shucks! Can't understand it at

WILL MEET CRIME
WAVE WITH UNITED
FRONT Of FORCE
Law Enforcing Agencies of
City and County to Confer
in Mayors Office on Co.
operation of Departments.

The prevalence of crime over the
country and especially the wave that
has been sweeping over Memphis for
the last few days will be met by
united front on the part Of the law
enforcing agencies of Memphis and
Shelby county.
A meeting of representatives of all
law enforcing agencies in the city
and county has been called by Mayor
Rowlett Paine for his office in city
hall, Tuesday afternoon, at 4 o'clock.
The purpose of the meeting is to so
Coordinate the several agencies that
all may work together for one COM
mon end-the enforcement of law and
order in Memphis and Shelby county
so that law violators will find the
atmosphere hereabouts decidedly un-
healthy.
Members of the city commission,
representative members of the pO-
lice department, the sheriffs office
and the criminal court were expect
ed to attend the meeting. The gem
eral plan will be to get everybody
together to work hand in hand for
the enforcement of all laws in Mem
phis and Shelby county.
Mayor Paine believes that the re-
cent crime wave Is not peculiar to
Memphis. Reports from all over the
country indicate that thhe conditions
experienced here in the last few days
are more or less general. However,
the mayor does believ that the law
enforcing agencies of the city and
county. working together. can make
of Memphis and Shelby county pc
culiar places because of the extent
of their freedom from law violators.
The mayors idea is TO get every
body concerned to working together.
He believes that Colser Co-opera-
ton between the police department
and the sheriffs office will net eX-
cellent returns in chasing down law
'Niolators. Similarly, he expects the
courts to lend assistance that will
serve to chase law violators out Of
the city and out of the county. The
plan is to be one general, co orlinat-
ed effort, in which each department
will do its share in an effort to
bring about a desired result. the re-
suit in this instance being the elm
ination of law violaators from Mem
phis and Shelby county.

that HARDWOOD was a good fellow and
that he would not believe any i'll of

ATTITUDE OF THE UNITED STATES ID
 BOLSHEWKI SOON
 WILL BE STATED
Interchange of Views Is In Progress - Self Interest Because of Threatened
 European Collapse,
 Demands Clear Stand
Ry Associated Press

Washington, August 7.-Announcement of the attitude of the United States to- ward the bolsheviki invasion in Europe and Asia is not expected until the note addressed to the Washington govern ment by Poland has been received.
 An interchange of views is already in progress, however, between the United States and the French and British gov ernments in an attempt officials said, to map out course of action promising favorable results.
 With the threatened political and eco- homie collapse of Poland and reactions of similar gravity anticipated in states adjacent to the new republic. officials described the situation as approaching d point where self-interest would prompt the United States to take action. The view was expressed that the thr sat of a nullification of the victory over Germany was containued in the under standing said to exist between sovlet Russia and Germany and that this of fered sufficient provocation for action by the United States. These officials tooS the position that power associated with the allies in the occupation of the Rhineland, the United States maintained very evident interest in the preserva- ton of the victory although it had not ratified as yet the treaty of Versailles. Included among steps WHlch the Uniteu States might find itself compelled to take, officials suggested, extension of credits permit the purchase by Poland of surplus war material, declaration ot
 moral support for Poland and warning l to the soviet government not to tres 1 pass farther beyond it's boundaries. Mill tary aid, it was added. could be consid- cred only if all else failed.
 | Military authorities suggested that th' brigade destined for Silesia and detained I in Germany, if now sent to Silesia, mige' steady not only Poland but Czecho-Slo'
 vakia and Germany. The complete strangulaton of Poland by the cutting o
 the Danzig corridor by the bolshevif
 army, these officers added, was a grave eventaality which the presence of Ameri
 can troops in that area might possoi. iavert.
 ] So long as the bolsheviki are able | exercise complete ccasorship over al communications in soviet Russia, litti promise was seen by some officials of h
 success of a note of warning to tn soviet government. The Russians f1
 whom such a note would be designe'
 with a view to arraying them against th soviet government would be those peo pie whom it would never reach, it wa said.
