The High School Alumni Assoc

The High School Alumni Associa-
ton members held business meeting
at the High School building. The
meeting was not very we'll attended

makes it certain that they will head
the league. tits nice to be optimistic
but we think they are overlooking
seven reasons why their chances are
not the best, the principal one Of
which is the Hi-Liners.

try to form new ties on the Ger
man side Of the line and thus
prove a formidable competition
for the Polish industry.
Already there are signs of un.
easiness among the Polish indus
trials, among other voices heard
on the subject being that of
Polish msgnate, who says that the
iron mines of Upper Silesia had
outstanding orders covering pc
riod of four months, most Of these
orders being from Germany.
When. however, as a result OF
the definite fixation of the boun-
dary, no further orders come In
from Germany, then the iron in.
dustry of German Silesia, which
boasts Of the most modern equip
ment, will constitute a formidable
menace.
Today, in view OF the low stand
of the mark and the increase Of
wages In upper Slesla, the PollSh
iron industry is still able to main.

Of German Upper Silesia.
The last act of the Upper Sile-
