The use of an airplane in overtaling
and arresting bank swindlers has been
reported from Copenhagen. A German
calling himself Sturmer entered the
banking house of Barring & Co in Co
penhagen and said he wanted to buy
100000 Austrian crowns, worth about
$4,000, and to pay for them with a check
drawn on the "Mitteldeutsche" Bank in
Berlin.
When the bankers refused. Sturmer
asked them to telegraph to the Berlin
address that he gave them and ask II
his check was good They did so and
the answer came back in the affirma
tive. Thereupon the Austrian crowns
were handed over to him.
Later Sturmer went to the Bergen
holz Bank and, mentioning that he had
had business with Barring & Co, tried
to work similar scheme. This bank
telegraphed to its own representative in
Berlin, who replied that Sturiners check
should not be cashed. Mr.. Bergenholz
at once communicated with Barring g.
co. Before the bankers could cause
Sturmer's arrest, however. IT was found
that he had left copenhagen.
Mr.. Barring at once engaged an air.

harbor, where he arrived just in time to
see the ferryboat some distance off
shore Then he notified the German po-
lice and flew on TO Warremunde. where
they arrived In time to see Sturmer and
his companion arrested. All the Aus
trian crowns were found on them and
turned over to the Danish banker.

WOULD CREATE LEEDS
PRINCE FOR HIS CASH

ATHENS. May 2S.--The Greek news
papers have found much diversion in
calling young William Il. Leeds. son Of
Princess Anastasla, and who is soon to
marry Princess Xenia. the seventeen
year-old daughter of King Constantine's
sister. Marie. "Sir William Leeds" 1t
has been suggested that the King may
confer dukedom on him in return for
the fortune he may inherit.
References were made to him In the
newspapers as the Duke OF Pirgus" and
"the Prince of Leeds"
I'VE hope" said humorous writer In
the Athena, that the young prince will
dispose of his millions as charitably as
his mother. 1t is n wonderful thing to
be n prince or a duke. but it Is better to
be n millionaire. Let ps hope that the
National Assembly. with It's usual lib
eral opinions. will vote a bill by which
Mr.. Leeds will become an official Prince
OF Greece. but only on condition that he
gives us all his money"

The Bolshevistic Idea of education
has resulted in the absolute breakdown
in Russia of all pedagogical methods
such as those which are responsible
for the onward march Of civilization In
the remainder of the world, says Hec-
tor Nicole, a Swiss teacher In Russia,
terror of the Soviet domain. where he
gained the confidence of officials by
purporting to be ready to accept their
doctrine.
'The Boisheyiki have discarded
every known pedagogical principle"
he said. Accumulated experience and
the most elementary psychological
truths all have been abandoned, but
with mystic fervor they are trying TO
teach by a few abstract formulas. TO
which, cost what it may, reality must
be made to conform.
THE organization Of their schools Is
the most simple. Children from to
years play, sing and draw in their
homes where they are grouped. Then
until they are 13 they are placed In
labor schools for their first degree. They
finish their Soviet education Mt the age
of II. High schools, commercial courses
and academies no longer exist.
Even -professorships have been aban-
doned Teachers now are known as
working scholars. What's the result OF
all this? The young Russian genera
tlons are suffering from the gangrene
OF laziness and are incapable OF any
serious work Naturally with all meth
ods OF constraint abandoned the pupils
have ceased taking notes. and as they
no longer hold examinations there is
veritable anarchy IN education.
Moreover, even If they wanted to. stu
dents could not work, the maps and
books have all been destroyed, and In
stead of printing more the paper Is used
to spread propaganda. In one school.

brary.' I entered and found only chaos
and dirt, all books having disappeared.

to make cigarettes and the bindings

"rhe teaching personnel Is equally
ridiculous, as all that is necessary for
one to become schoolmaster is TO at
tend a three weeks course in any sub
ject whereupon he Is promptly given en-
ployment, and special food ration with
a salary of 1000 rubles monthly. which
Is equivalent to the cost of half pound

come forward to recommend against the
further bombardment Of Kosel. The

to having Italians and Britons interfer-

with the plain spoken suggestion:

Later Father Wozniak recovered his

and several who are not native of Upper
Silesia are reticent. because they seek
to make the movement appear abroad
as a purely local uprising
The officers already had been working
together for months preparing details
for the uprising, and each one knew his
exact functions. Now they work in
close liaison with what might be called
gangsters who are the leaders of the
miners and metal workers and are
trusted by them after ample proof of
fidelity which they furnished during two
years of secret and illegal war against
the Germans.

Immediately a man came out of every

minutes after the alarm had been

Bitter Against italians.

The bitterness against the Italians Is
great Several insurgents were wearing
bits of italian uniforms and cartridge
cases There seems to be a general mis-.
understanding as to tho significance OF
the plebiscite. and the belief Is that the
Italians simply are backing the Germans
against the insurgents.
The insurgent army resembled genia
bandits on carnival celebration. Many
had decorated their rags with bits oi
bunting and flowers and red and white
flags waved everywhere.
The fighting was delayed until O'Clock
to give time for all the units to be fed
and placed. Then the sound of machine
gun tapping and rifle fire could be heard
coming from the woods. All vehicles
were put at the disposal OF the wounded
even staff cars, the officers going about
on foot.
There were some pretty instances o'
Slavish phlegmatism. During the mos
critical period of the battle a peasant
wedding was celebrated 500 yards from
the German lines. The natives. dressed
in bright silks and shawls, were indif
ferent to the battle in moment of more
important celebration.
