1t seems that another crisis i'll the
relations of France and Britain is
by way OF passing. However, the
situation is still extremely "kittle,
as the Scotch say.
The French chamber met on
Thursday. After NJ. Brands critics,
who are many, have had their say,
M. BRAND will ask for a vote of con-
fidence. If he gets it, there will
probably be another session of the

finally settle the upper Silesian
boundary; unless meantime some un-
suspected store of high explosive

Ordered to Surrender Arms.
According to the latest report (via
London) Korfanty has thrown UP
his enterprise and has by proclama-
ton ordered his followers to give
up their arms, presumably to the in
terallied commission representa-
tives, to go back to work and to
avoid mixing it" with the Germans.
Other reports tell of disaffection
among the insurgents, OF desertions,
of the draggle-tailed champions of
self-determination turning bandits.
1t is not surprising if Korfanty has
lost control, for, if dispatches are to

And good cause he has for despair.

Trial of Bluffs
Woman This Week
For Taking Baby
Dolly McMullen to Be Ar.
raigned in Police Court
Wednesday on Charge of
Stealing Child.

Dolly McMullen, S., S02 West
Broadway, will be arraigned in Coun-
Gil Bluffs police court Wednesday
morning on the charge of KIDNAPPING
the 6-year-old son of her dead sister
from the home of the cllild's father,
William Hanniffy, Twenty-seventh
and Y streets, South Omaha.
She is alleged to have stolen the
child Friday afternoon and was ar
rested by Bluffs police Saturday
night. Her preliminary hearing was
set for Wednesday and she was re-
leased under $500 bonds.
Miss McMullen told police that
she was given the custody of the
baby, Milo, four years ago by its
mother on her death bed and the
father agreed to the adoption. She
said that the boy lived with her until
last Thursday, when the father ap-
peared and asked her permission to
take his son to Omaha for the day.
She permitted him to take the boy
away.
When Hanniffy failed to bring Milo
back, his aunt went to Omaha herself
the following day. She found the
child playing in his fathers yard and
induced him to return with her. She
told police she is willing for the
father to keep the boy if he will pro-
vide a good home, although Milo
seems we'll satisfied with his aunt.
Hanniffy himself filed the kidnap-
ing charge against Miss McMullen in
Omaha. She refused, upon advice
of her attorney, to waive extradition
and return to Omaha. The case may
be settled at the preliminary hearing
in DoIice court.

full, but false, born of the flame of
passion, ephemeral, bound to wilt in
the cool atmosphere of reason.
But Mr.. George will not have it
so; it seems that he meant precisely
what he said. That speech, though
France was not mentioned. was,
the readers will remember, a violent
attack on French policy. 1t aroused
the fiercest resentment in France.
The French press fairly sizzled with
wrath and its language was not the
language of compliment to Lloyd
George, whereupon Lloyd George
rebukes the French press; asserting,
moreover, that he spoke advisedly
in that extraordinary speech to the
commons concerning upper Siiesia.
England will do her duty" shout
ed Lloyd George. .
Delighted to hear it," respond
the French papers. England, we
presume, will send troops to upper
Silesia, which is what we have been
asking all along
