! LONDON, May 13.z-French policies

surgents iii Upper Silesia are drawing
British fire and there are indications.
reflected in Lloyd Georges declaration
in the House of Commons to-day, that
Anglo-French relations are becoming
strained over the attempt of the Poles
to seize Siiesia by force of arms.
That this situation should develop
immediately after the German repara-
tions questions have been settled is
particularly distressing to the British.
With hardly an exception, British
newspapers condemn French military
proceedings in Upper Silesia, and all
regret the apparent lack of Allied
unity.
That the French policy is really d.
rected against Germany is perfectly
clear to all critics, but that it is bound
to have sharp repercussions on British
trade and industrial life is equally
certain.
For more than year it has been a
well recognized fact that France had a
dominant hand in Poland and that the
affairs of the new republic were being
managed from Paris. But it remained
for the Silesian outbreak to show how
far the Poles would dare go.
There is every indication of an early
meeting of the Supreme Council to dis
cuss the Silesian situation, and in their
present temper British officials will
make some frank comments at that
session. 1t is frankly admitted that
the Polish invasion of Upper Silesia
has embarrassed the plebiscite settle
ment, but the British do not intend to
be dictated to by the Poles and are by
no means ready to repudiate the terms
of the treaty they signed with Germany
at Versailles.
On moral grounds alone the British

At the Dixie,


The origin of kissing seems lost
in the mists OF antiquity. Some
where in the Greek mythology
there's story showing that the
discovery, like ali great discover.
les was purely accidental.
strephon and Chole were lovers
and rendered their flocks In adioin-
Ing fields. Ono day Chole picked
up a beautiful Jewel off the ground
this was In the Golden Age. when
jewels were as thick as blaCkber-
rses-and while she was admiring
the play of the sunlight in its
translucent depths, Pan, the god OF
woods and fields. OF Eocks and
shepherds, happened along. Seeing
Chole admiring the Jewel, he stop
ped and demanded 1t for one of
his nymphs. Of whom he had h
plentiful supply and often was
hard pressed to furnish them all
with enough ornaments to keep
peace in the family.
Frightened at the appearance Of
the god,. who, as we all Know, was
a horrid looking creature, covered
with brIstly hair, with sprouttng
horns and goats feet, Chole pop
ped the Jewel into her mouth as
Pan made move TO take 1t ont
of her hand, and ran to Strephon
in the next field, and into his arms
for protection, closely pursued by
the irate deity.
Strephon however, knew how to
handle the situation and promised
Pan that he would sacrifice two
lambs Of his flock to the god,
whereupon Pan withdrew, satisfied.
A blood sacrifice Is always moro
acceptable to a god than any other
kind.
Having, got rid of Pan, strephon
then turned his attention to
Chloe as she lay half fainting in
his arms and asked her to show
him the jewel, the cause Of the
disturbance. Now Chloe had thrown
her arms around her protector and
was still very much frightened and
loath to let go, while Strephon
who had his arms around her
trembling form was In the same
boat, SO to speak. So It came to
