Paris, Feb. IH
After two years OF service the Polish
women's battalion, 5000 strong, is to be
demobiized, according TO the corre-
spondent for THE NEW YORK HERALD in
Warsaw. Only a small percentage will
remain in the service as instructors OF
military education in special schools for
women being opened in Warsaw,
Cracow and Posen.
Col. Alexandria Zagorska, command
ing the battalion. says the war casual
ties totalled more than 100. but that
80 had deserted the ranks to marry.
The new plan is to train women for
duty behind the front, operating the
telegraph, carrying dispatches and rem
dering medical services, thus leaving

How You Can Try This Method
Without Risking a Penny.

Much could be written about the
cause and the remedy for excessive
stoutness and Eugene Christians
methods. But that is unnecessary,
for you can now test them out in the
privacy of your home without risking
a penny. These methods are not new
and untried theories, for more than
10000 people in all walks of life have
used and are using them and indorse
them in the most enthusiastic terms.
The publishers have left on hand
Just 1896 sets of Eugene Christians
Course, which they wish TO dispose OF
before the New Edition comes off the
press. The price at which thousands
of these sets have been sold is So.
But these few remaining sets are
being offered at only 50 for as long as
they last, so If you act quickly you
can get these wonderful secrets at a

In search OF new methods TO relieve

Council has proposed making all for

new tax OF 100 francs. also VI. Dienais
would increase the Prefecture. fec for
pa ssport wise from two 10 twenty-five
francs.
Estimating the number OF foreigners
now in Paris az almost 100000 this would
mean an immediate revenue OF more
than 30000.000 francs with an annual
revenue OF another 100000 francs.
VI. Dienais suggests that by adopting
this scheme It will not be necessary to
tax pianos or hired girls in the employ
of Paris families. but as the city's bud

more than likely that both systems Of
taxation will be used.

Within the Mandate, They Say.

Within the Mandate, They Say.
1t Is the contention of the British
Government that the mandate fulfills all
these promises.
The Near Eastern authority, however,
said that all attempts to govern the
Arabs had been absurd. He character
lied them as real Moslems, cherishing
Moslem culture and with a religion
purer than any other in the world as
amply able to govern themselves, a fact
both France and England had conceded,
at the same time regarding this decision
as an important factor in conciliating
their own Moslem population in North
Africa and in India
In so far as using Mesopotamia as a
bulwark against Bolshevism. he said:
THE arrangement now in the making
with Afghanistan by the Indian Govern
nlent will effectually close that route to
Bolshevist attack against India. Any adj
vance against India by way of Mesopo-
tan1ia would have to come down the
Tigris and branch off through Beluchis-
tan. With an outpost at Basra, such a
move could be defeated easily
While this man is one who Is inti-
mately familiar with Mesopotamia and
Arabia, there is another powerful party
hero composed of largely Anglo-Indian
officials. experts and larger imperial
agitators, who are not only bitterly op-
posed to giving up Mesopotamia but are
outspokenly bitter because OF the terms
of the mandate put Great Britain's in
terests there on q high moral ground
and forbid her taking any advantage for
herself They argue that il was Brit
aims money and blood that drove the
Turk out Of these regions and that It is
Great Britain's right to take compensa-
ton, II any is available. They call at
tention to experiences in Egypt recently,
declaring that all the trouble there was
due to Russian influence.
At the same time they refer to Lord
Miners statement regarding the close
connection between Egypt and Mesopo-
tamia and assert that any agitation in
one OF these countries is bound to have
a serious repercusslon in the other. that
both Arab peoples are closely inter-
locked. They believe that the cvacua-
tion Of Mesopotamia by the British
woule create fresh demands for the
evacuation Of Egypt, thus striking at
the very spinal cord of the empire
Nevertheless, the Mesopotamian party
would prefer throwing over Mesopotamia
altogether rather than submit to the
mandate in its present form. from which
they see no returns for Great Britain
for her expenditures there.
However. the India Office drew up
the mandate and the influence Of the
Anglo-India official mind certainly Is
not lacking there. Hence the terms OF
the mandate permit Great Britain to
exercise a free hand there for three
years before an organic law for the

Argument Made by Milner.

"I think we should go very slow and
not let ourselves be stampeded into a
policy OF throwing up the sponge to
use a favorite phrase, because we have
already spent huge sums of money In
that country" he said. '"That money Is
gone. 1t cannot all be recovered in any
case.
"Of course, II we had to go on spend
ing anything like the sums we spent at
tho old rate OF expenditures we could
not remain there But we are setting

which was in great discredit, and prob
ably at a greatly increased expense. But
given time and a reasonable amount Of
backing at its first start the native Gov
ernment there may very well maintain
itself and save us all further expense"
It Is held here to be certain that the
Government intends to withdraw its own
troops from the interior Of Mesopotamia
as soon as 1t is possible to do so. De-
spite the urging that the Government
ought TO protect the Mosul oil wells the
Government remarks that the oil we'll

VAUDEVILLE BULLS
RUN WILD IN THEATRE
Berlin Audience Stampeded

New York Herald Bureau,
Berlin, Feb. 10.
An announcement that two trained
bulls would perform on the stage as the
main feature OF a vaudeville show in
the Apollo Theatre attracted q large
crowd here recently But the act proved
even more startling than had been eX-
pected, when one OF the bulls, fright
ened by the music and applause. plunged
into a box near the stage, from which
the occupants fled with wild screams.
Next the bull jumped down TO the audi
ence in the orchestra and after scat
tering people left and right, began rae
ing up one OF the aisles.
Although great excitement prevailed, a
panic was averted by one OF the clowns
on the bill, who shouted TO the people
not to become alarmed, az the bull was
only doing stunt for the movies. The
animal finally was captured by its
trainers before any ono was hurt.

Opinion on oil Is Divided.

Opinion here is just as widely divided
en- the prospects of oil In Mesopotamia
as regards the political situation there.
All of the oil conce Ons there were
granted before the war. and the Govern
ment insists that no new ones have been
given: that all the pre-war concessions
will be respected. and that the admin
istration IS not taking advantage OF the
situation to the prejudice of foreign
claims. Persons with claims, and also
tho Government. probably have accurate
surveys of the oil reserves. and among
those with claims is the Standard OIL
Company. upon whom the British Gov
crnment frankly places tho blame for
much Of the agitation against the Brit
ish Governments Mesopotamian policy
and the Governments methods OF keep
ing out all prospectors and commercial
travellers.
The wide difference OF opinion IN
Great Britain herself regarding Mesopo-
tamia was we'll illustrated by the ex-
preston by one OF tho greatest authori-
ties ON that country. who told THE NEW
YORK HERALD correspondent here that
Great Britain ought TO evacuate not
only Mesopotamia but Palestine as WELL
and that France ought TO be made TO
get out OF Syria.
