The recently published story in the

of the flour sack by the late Capt. I.
S. JcfreryS Of Yorkvillc has Travelled
far and wide. and in the travelling has
become more or less twisted" but not

Judging from the cabled Partisan
press comment, France seems to be bent
upon holding Polish claims to Upper
Silesia, regardless of the Versailles
agreement. Lloyd George has gone
suuarcly on record in favor OF Ger
man rights in the matter: ! He even
goes so .faras to. assert that Germany
will be warranted in Tpholding those
rights by force. some Of the French
papers say that if Germany attacks
the Poles the French will attack Ger
many. In that event Great brlta!n
would have TO either back down OF
ioin the Germans against the French:
To many such a development seems
unthinkablc; but after all there would
be nothing unprecedented about It.
The same thing has occurred before IN
the case Of. both England and France.

are involved in-tle lockout. They went
across the river: into Kentucky, and
following many rumored threats firing
commenced last Thursday. The union
men claim that the mine owners start

blame the union miners. The battle
line is about seven miles long. A num-
ber Of people have been killed on both
sides The union miners, having aBan-
doned their former homes are living in
tents on leased lands, and are being
supplied with provisions by the United

Disrcgarding the treaty Of Versail-

Disregarding the treaty Of Versail-
les to- which they owe their own inde-
pcndence, and the result OF the recent
plebicitc provided for in the treaty OF
Versailles, the Poles are perSiStng IN
their determination to WrcSt Upper ST.
lesia from the Germans. The Germans
are hampercd because Of the disarn1a-
mcnt obligations imposed on them by
the treaty Of Versailles; but are still
quite strong enough to defend their
rights il permitted to do 50. The Pol
ish movement. for which the constitut-
ed government denies responsibility, is
being led by Adalbert korfanty, an al
legged insurgent. Lloyd George takes
the position that the Allies are honor
bound to either eNpel the Polish m
yaders or allow Germany to 90 IL. he
points out that in the first place Poland
owes all she is and has in the way OF
liberty to the Allies, who shed their
blood for her while she was fighting
with Germany against them. In the
second place that while the Allies are
now strong enough to make Germany
live up to her reparations agreement,
that present conditions VIII n2t exist
always. Germany will get stronger
and stronger rs the years 20 Dy, ana
long before the final Instruments on
reparations are paid, she Will be IN
position to refuse to pay any more
Unless the Allies perform their part OF
The agreement Germany will be justi-
fled in Kicking out. Therefore the Al
lies must see to it that the Poles re-
spect the Versailles agreement rs to

he takes very little stock in the claim
of Poland that she is not responsible
for what the insurgents are doing, ana
intinlatcs that in his opinion that If the
su-callcd insurgents arc successful IN
wrestling Upper Silcsia from Germany;
Poland will later undertake tn absorb

Armistice Day.

On Friday, November 18th, American
citizens will meet in the many cities,
towns and communities for two pur-
p0Ses-to pay tribute to those who gave
their lives in the world war and to Celc-
brate the cessation Of hOStilitics and
the homecoming Of those who srrViv-
ed the great conflict. 1t is very fitting
that we thank God for the victory
which came as a reward 70 those who
made the supreme sacrifice upon the
field of battle, and it is equally as ap-
prOpriate to give praise to the Al
mighty for those who were permitted
to return to us to take their place in
the great army Of business where they
have brayeIy fought to put our c0un-
try back on peace-time basis. We
think Of the American Legion which is
composed entirely of ex-seryice men.
as 100 per cent American organiza-
ton, a body that possesses the true
American spirit, an organization that
will soon become one of the greatest
factors in shaping American ideals, a
society that is bound together by a tie
OF blood, and we believe that IFS mem
bership thoroughly realizes the serious,
ness OF its place in the affairs of the
world. November 18th is American Le-
gion Day. A day when these boys who
faithfully rallied to the cause Of
Democracy and through their faithful
ness and loyalty to the cause won fer
odd Glory the recognition Of the en-
tire civilized world, will meet and re-
call their days of service and renew
that friendship that only exists in q
Dody OF men that is umtedly fighting
Tor one cause, and that cause the pre-
servation Of American ideals.
Arcadia has made great prerara.
tons to celebrate Armistice Day. They
nave extended an invitation to all peo,
pie to be here and take part and by 50
doing justly commemorate this dav
which in the year 1918 marked tbe
uaWn OF peace and the opening of a
new world. We hope that the people
from Tar and near will respond to this
invitation, and We trust that they vii,
come realizing that the same army
tnat won the war, is now engaged in
another war, and still needs the SIN.
