In olden times, it was believed that
the seat of the soul was the stomach.
most likely for the reason that man
is never SO completely used up as
when his stomach is out of order.
For the cure of ordinary stomach
troubles, there is nothing quite so
prompt and satisfactory as Chamber
lain's Tablets. They strengthen the
stomach and enable it to perform it's
functions naturally. Give them a
trial. They only cost quarter.

FRENCH TROOPS ENGAGE

BIZ the Associated Press.

OPPELN, May 11.-Fighting is contnu-
despite the fact that Adelbert Korfanty,
leader of the insurgent Poles has agreed
that the Polish forces will observe an
armistice during conversations looking
to a settlement of the trouble in Upper
Silesia. The Poles are reported to be
using heavy artillery in Kosel.
French troops engaged in an artillery
duel with insurgent Poles near Gros-
the French fire with several small field
pieces. The German civilian guards
have completed their organization. The
officers say they have sufficient rifles.
and will feel safe IL they can secure ar
tillery. 1t is declared the Poles are well
equipped with artillery and small arms.
but there is lack of discipline evident
in their ranks.
Daniel Kresryski, the Polish Consul
General here, when asked what he ex-
pected would result from the 'conversa-
tions," replied:
1T is uncertain just what demands
will be made. but the Poles certainly
will insist on a bigger share in the
administration of Upper Silesia than
they have had heretofore. They do not
want the Inter-Allied Commission done
away with, but they want more recog-
milton from the commission. They have
only had crumbs from the rich mans
table so far"
kresryski declared the Poles feared
German offensive. believing that IL
the Germans get the upper hand there
will be no Poles left alive down here"

Our military detectives have been
realized and consolidated" Nowina
Dolliwa, Korfar tvs recently appointed
insurgent commander, told THE New
YORK HERALD correspondent to-day at
his field headquarters. "Our opera
tions are divided in three parts, the
major one being the industrial tri-
angle where German resistance is con-
centrated. Operations in the southern
zone are facilitated by a sympathetic
population, but complicated through
Italian hostility. The northwestern
sector is vital because the Germans
have been reinforced.
IT have 10000 organized troops fully
armed, and local volunteers everywhere.
i have full confidence in the discipline
of the troops, which is indicated by the
absence of pillage and the sacrificing of
important strategic roads when occupy
ing cities where the Allies resist.
I'VE have engaged in heavy fighting
with the Germans at Birawa and near
Kandrzin, but the Germans are handi-
capped, as / have destroyed eight of the
most important bridges leading from
Germany. Our task now Is political

Allies.

British transports workers may be
drawn into the strike of the coal miners
here after all by the Governments de-
fiance Of the transport workers resolve
not to unload foreign coal arriving at
British ports. The executives of the
transport workers to-day said the en-
ployment of naval ratings and military
units to handle sea borne coal would
constitute challenge which their union
could not ignore.
The railroad workers are again grow
ing restless over the question of inland
transit Members of these sections of
the Triple Alliance who have refused to
unload or to move coal vital to the coun-
try's life have been discharged and re-
placed in their work by volunteers, and
this stern violation of their embargo in
furiated the unions. with the result that
"blackleg" coal Is making the economic
situation here more serious than 1t has
been at any time since the split in the
Triple Alliance.
The London Labor party executives
have sent letter to London Members
Of Parliament urging that the Min
listers approach the coal problem in "a
more reasonable and more statesmanlike
frame of mind.
The Boar dof Trade has announced
that 1t has made arrangements for the
importation OF coal to "carry on, and
that 1t is determined this coal shall be
unloaded and moved. Already much
American coal has been received here,
and a great deal more is expected.
Further indications of the seriousness
of the coal shortage was furnished by
the announcement that the Vickers Ship
building and Engineering Works at Bar
row. the largest cocern in the United
Kingdom. employing 10000 men, will
be forced to close at the end of next
week unless coal mining is resumed by
that time.
Closing of these plants would swell
appreciably the total of unemployed,
which at the end of April totalled 1885,
500, with the number working on short
time totalling 1.077.000. These figures
are exclusive of the 100000 idle
miners.

At the Strand Theatre

THE Son of Walllngford, the Dig
Vitagraph special production, which
will be seen at the Strand theatre
on Monday, is the latest of the series
of "Get-Rich-Quick Wallingford"
units which have been u~nrivaled in
popularity in America.
The character of j.. Rufus Wal
lingford is a household word. 1t Is
a name related to anything along
that fascinating topic of making
money without working for 1t. The
American public may love to be
&umbugged, but it always loves the
h~umbugger. Thus the popularity in
fiction form of the great Walling-
ford.
George Randolph Chester, author
and creator Of this famous charac-
ter, personally directed the screen
version. Into the new story ne has
put all the elements required to
make a picture successful. 1t IS
sparkling with comedy, replete with
spectacular sets and filled with that
other necessary component of a big

original Credit for the
originality of treatment goes not
onIy to Mr.. Cashier, whose direction
is superb. but also to Jack Cunning
ham,, screen author, who wrote the
continuity from which "A Wifes
Awakening" was produced.
Delicately handled by MI. Cashier
there is unfolded a story that will
give much food for thought, partic-
ularly to those who have perhaps
encountered the shoals in their we'd
ded life upon which the domestic
bark of the two principal characters
in the story is wrecked.
"A Wife's Awakening" unfolds a
story that is close to the hearts OF
every man and woman, regardless
Of whether or not one has had ex-
perience in matrimony. 1t tells OF
a wife whose trust of her husband
is so blind and so tense that her ef-
forts to save his honor place her
own reputation under the shadow.
How the wife learns about
her husbands true character after
h has loved and believed him
faithful is told in straight forward
fashion. And how, through her cour-
age and good fortune. h is able TO
find happiness. adds a delightful
touch of romance.
