Germans Give Aid.

Oppein, Silesia, May IAN ar.
mored train was run from Breslau
to Kreuzburg. about thirty miles
northeast of here by Germans last
night and was turned over to allied
authorities. there. The allies &C
cepted the train, in view Of the re-
ports that the Poles planned to at
tack Kreuzburg today.
When Rosenberg was taken by
the Poles a British major who was
acting as control officer there was
arrested by Polish leader, who
was formerly a police officer under
the command OF the major. The
Polish leader ordered that the ma
jor be shot and ordered a squad OF
five men to execute him. AS The
squad took its place the major said:
You do not dare to shoot"
vhereupon the Poles lowered their
rifles and refused to fire.
The situation in this city, which
has been growing appreciably more
tense, has been made more serious
by the arrival of hundreds of refu-
gees. Many have been severely
wounded and have excited the peo-
ple with stories OF alleged Polish
brutalities.
Expect Outbreak.
Allied officials, expecting an out
break, say they would be unable
to cope with an insurgent German
populace. Prince Hatfield, Ger
man delegate on the inter-allied
commission, declared yesterday that
every effort was being made to hold
back the Germans, but the danger
was increasing hourly.
/. I'VE have asked the allies to In
crease their forces here" Prince
Hatfield declared. Prom 10000 r
10000 soldiers are .eeded, ant
, needed badly, il the most seriouI
, situation is to be avoided"
ii He added that, according to Ger
, man information, there are at leas
e go, 900 Poles under arms in Uppe
: Silesia. They are declared to b
, led by former Polish army officer
and are we'll disciplined.

THE s1PRINCE'
Mr.. Jackson Wasn't Heir to Throne.
But He Was a prince"

Fight Fight Hey, guys here's
scrap"
Quickly and almost as if by magic
there gathered about at one end of
the main first-hoor corridor of Vic
tor High School, from where the
above announcement of a battle royal
had come, number of boisterous
pushing students-"scrap fans" they
called themselves.
Who's scrapping" asked one OF
the late comers, crowded out OF
position near the fighters by those
who had arrived on the scene lit
tie in advance.
"Slim Perkins and Sam Stevens"
shortly answered one Of the watch
ers.
What's it about?" further in
quired the late-comer.
Don't know for sure. Better ask
some other guy"
The question was put again, this
time to another "fan," and in re-
ply the late arrival was told that
maybe Sam Stevens did something
Slim Perkins didn't like and they
was havin' it hot an heavy"
This statement was not entirely
correct. 1t is true they were hav-
ing it hot and heavy, but something
else was the cause of the fight
Slim Perkins, one OF the combat
ants, was the typical story-bool1
school bully at Victor High. He
was of that bearing, bossy sort
that we hate at first SIGHT He was
a Junior
Sam Stevens was but mere
Sophomore. He was not famed at
Victor High for anything, except,
perhaps, for little work ON the
school track team. But, unlike Slim
Perkins, he was well-liked.
Just few minutes before the
crowd of students had gathered in
the corridor to see the fight, Sam
had been walking peacefully down
the stairs leading into the main cor
ridor Of the first floor. Following
stealthily in back of him was Slim
Perkins. About half way down the
stairs, Slim, up to more of his das-
tardly, bullying practical jokes, stuck
out his foot and tripped Sam, who
fell headlong down the remaining
steps and landed with thump.
Then the fight had started
