GERMANY NOW
FEARS POLES

BERLIN, April Ia Signs of
activity along the Polish border
give reasons to fear that Poland is
preparing to invade the German
part of Silesia, according to a dis
patch last night in the National
Gazette. g.,
1t is alleged that the POLISH plan
is a part of the French program to
bring about the capitulation of
Germany in spite of the failure of
the Rhur invasion to accomplish
that end.
1t is claimed that a reign of ter
rorism has been inaugurated by the
Poles on their side of the line in
Upper Silesia.
The presence of French generals,
including the arrival of Marshal
Foeh at Warsaw, it is claimed, gives
color to the reports that Poland is
becoming more active in aid of her
French ally.

OF the modern newspaper to print

Advertising has little effect on

In the larger papers the influence
being relatively Insignificant
Tho advertiser needs the news
paper a great deal more than the

can say to himself: II / can hold
