ynabIe to Agree on SiIesian Boundary, Premiers Are Pledged to Accept Ad-
 vice of the League
By Associated Press

Paris, August 12.-The disposition the rich regions of Upper Silesia
 mich has disturbed the peace or
 ind of Europe since the signing of tae treaty of Versailles. is postponed Ior several months by the action of iae inter-allied supreme council to- tsy in requesting the council of the .esgue of Nations to. study the sub
 ct and advise upon the fixing of @ me separating Germany and Po- md.
 The text of the resolution asking the council of the League of Nations 10 aid in settling the question, was rawn so as to avoid the appearance "f arbitration. which is not provided sor in the treaty of Versailles. The resolution follows:
 The supreme council before rend- ring It's decision upon the Upper siilesian frontier between Germany and Poland conformable with article of the tready of Versailles, decides pursuant to article II, paragraph two of the covenant of the League of Ma tions, to submit to the council of the League of Nations the difficulties at tending the fixing of the frontier and td invite the recommendation of the council as to the line that the princi- pal allied and associated powers should lay down.
 The council of the League of Ma tions Is requested to regard the mat ter as one of great urgency, in view of the situation in Upper Silesia."
 Pledged to Accept
 The resolution was so drawn that the council of the league may not decide the question at issue, but DaVid Lloyd George and Aristide Briand' respectively the British and French premiers, pledged themselves In the supreme council meeting today to ac- cept the advice of the League of Ma tiona.
 It was remarked informally in the supreme council that the council or the league could hardly make any recommendation in less than three or sour months
 In another resolution Germany and Poland were admonished by the supreme council to remain quiet pend- ing a settlement of the issue.
 Today's decision came at the con ciusion of five days earnest dlscus- sion which began with an agreement in principle between MT. Lloyd George and M. Briand on what was called A "compromise line" The premiers fegl apart, however. on the finding aV inc experts that the industrial Triangle in Upper Silesia could not ln@ divided as a working economic 8rsfst any more than could the Pitts nvTg district.

Cleveland, O., August 12.-1f Den tralia in the semi final round of the Davis cup competition of the courts of the Mayfield Country club here, 1t will be one of the biggest tennis ursets of the year. For the Austra7 Hans, J. o. Anderson and Capt. Nor man Peach disposed of the Danish intcrnationalists, Vagn lngerslev and Erik Tegner, in surprisingly easy fashion today, Anderson beating Erslev, 60, 6-1, 7-5, while his team mate downed the northland ace. 7-5, e-2, e-4.
 The handy victory of the antipodes pair Is attributed to several causes chief of which are their own &C., knowleged mastery of the game, and the Dane's ineptness of the soft surface grass game.
 vious agreement with MT. Lloyd George, today made the proposal that the supreme council submit the ques- tion of the boundary to the council of the League of Nations.
 The decision to do so means in ef- feet that the governments of Great Britain, France, Italy and Japan be- ing unable to agree as to the bound ary, now submit the question to the council of the League of Nations, which consists of representatives of the four countries in addition to rep resentatives of Brazil, Belgium, China and Spain.

An Important Matter.

The News cannot too strongly urge the
importance OF keeping the streets and prem
Uses in sanitary condition. The fact that the
health of Dawson is far above the average
city of its size should not for a moment deter
our people from the utmost care and vigilance
in making conditions such that there will be
no local cause for sickness following the con-
tinued spell of wet weather. The fact has been
too we'll established to need any argument that
flies and mosquitoes are carriers OF disease
germs, and it is vital to the health of the peo-
pie that every citizen engage in crusade
against breeding places of these pests. 1t is
trite but true that IAN ounce of prevention
is worth a pound of cure" Passing laws for
the best interests of the city is not worth a
row of pins unless the officials insist on the
most rigid enforcement. This season OF the
wear people are more susceptible to fever
germs, and sickness is not only inconvenient
but very expensive. 1t behooves each indl-
vidual to begin at once to help clean up Daw-
son by seeing that no tin cans or other vessels
are left lying around where they will be filled
with stagnant water and become menace to
the health of the city.

Financing a King.

An American woman is credited with the
distinction of having financed European gov
eminent and with continuing to enjoy-it 1t
be enjoyment-the process of handing out
more dollars to keep the state going Princess
Anatasia, of Greece, formerly Mrs. William
B. Leeds, widow of the American tin plate
king" is known to have given S2OO,OOO to
the royalists who were financing Constan-
tines return to the throne and to have been
asked for a half million dollars additional to
keep things going at Athens. Not little OF
the Leeds money, it is said, has been used
to keep Greek soldiers in the field against the
Turks, and more is required
Paris is more excited about it than Athens
or Washington for the reason that, because
American bankers are compelled to pay only
the interest on the Leeds millions to Princess
Anastasia and her son. the princess threatens
to auction her famous collection of jewels to
finance King Constantines state ambitions.
Paris jewelers. declare it would ruin the jewel
market there The Leeds collection is reputed
to be one of the most valuable Ill the world,
even rivaling some Of the crown possessions
of Europe One necklace alone, which re-
30,000,O0O francs.
The former Mrs. Leeds is a real princess
of Greece, even if she did buy the title out
right The only remarkable feature of the
purchase, according to Paris, is that the royal
family at Athens does not consider that she
has finished paying for it. Princess Anastasia
is not unpopular with the Hellenic rulers. To
her the queen, sister of William Hohen-
zollern, is Sophie" while she is addressed by
Constantines consort as Nancy" Then
again her young son, William Leeds, jr is
to wed Princess Xenia and that will cost a
lot in the initial expense with nothing definite
ly settled as to when the last installments OF
the purchase price will be made.
The two Americans, mother and son, al
length may be able to paraphrase familiar
saying in and out of courts and agree that
uneasy lies the head that buys crown.

Wanted. an Ideal Tax.

The governor and the legislature are trying
to devise a system of taxation that will dc
two thngs-produce the revenue needed by
the state and annoy the taxpayers as little
as possible Such a system would be perfect
ideal. The legislature would seize it without
a moments hesitation, and it would become
a law People could be expected to acclaim
it in happiness All this, of course, if it could
be shown conclusively that absolutely no
other method could come as near perfection
which would create a proposition the most
brilliant minds could not demonstrate. There
fore, taxation system which the majority
OF legislators believe holds the least objec
tons and the strongest money raising power
eventually will be adopted.

Women Jurors Opposed.

The growing conviction that employment
by the criminal courts of women jurors would
become crime deterrent seems to have been
based on solid reasoning. 1t will be observed
that the counsel for a woman on trial charged
with the murder Of her husband peremp-
toriy challenged six women tentatively seat
ed in the panel The defense did not want
the fate of the alleged murderess to rest in
the hands of jurors of the same sex. 1t is
apparent that the defense feared women ju-
rors would be less likely to show leniency
and sympathy for the accused No woman
can count on another woman for sympathy
if the case against her is strong one. Men
are easily moved to compassion by a woman
defendant 1t is not even necessary for miti-
eating circumstances to be shown a male
Juror Georgia offers numerous examples OF
trials before male jurors in which women
sayers were acquitted.
Men may defend their erilotionasm on the
ground that the defendant is woman Few
male jurors can bring themselves to point
where they can convict a member of the OPP
posite SEX 1t is very rare for men to vote
for the death penalty, or even term in the
penitentiary, if a woman is on trial Women
it is said, are more honest than men. 1t is
also declared that they believe more strongly
in absolute justice Certainly they can be de-
pended upon to be indifferent to impressions
attempted on the fimsy basis of sex appeal
A woman guilty would not get far with a
female jury if she attempted Establishment
A smile from a woman on trial means Moth
ing to woman juror. Male jurors may even
be captivated The difference is very striking
and most interesting, providing speculation
on criminal court procedure of the future
The question of permitting women to Stay

Jurors, or visiting swift punishment UPON
them through the medium of honest, fearles;
and unimpressionable women jurors is one
that holds the attention.
