 The men seem patriotic and they are shouting for Poland. Most of the Germans have left and the govern ment is doing all it can to Polandize those who remain. They have made 1t "a rule that all government offt- cials must speak Polish within two years after their appointment and they give free lessons in Polish to civil service employees.

 Striking School Boys.
 The region about Kattowitz was one of the centers of German Po- 1o nd ha and the factories, and they did all they could to Germanize the people. They formed colonization societies and practically forced the Polish peasants to sell out their lands. They established public schools in which German only was taught. and I am told that the teachers whipped the children for speaking Polish on the playground. The officials tried to prevent the use of the Polish language in all public meetings. They changed the names of the vil- lages and put German signs over the railway stations.
 What caused the most trouble was an attempt to prohibit religious ln- struction in any other language than the German. Before 1900, the children were allowed to say their prayers and their catechism in Pol ish but that year went forth the law that all prayers must be in German. This caused mighty sensation. and the children, backed by thelr par ents, went on strike. They tore up the German catechisms and sang songs deriding the officials. They compared the Prussians to Pharaoh and Herod, and at one time there were 100000 children who refused to make German prayers. The gov ernment tried to put down the strike, the children were punished with | fined. The Germans finally pre- vailed. but the feeling aroused against them was such that 1t exists to this day. At present Polish is tho language of the schools, but nothing has been done to denationalize the Germans. They may study in their own language in the public schools. anyone may speak as he desires, and the Polish railway employees must also know German.

'torship in Germany will be desirable. he added, will depend upon whether 1t is merely for the period of the emerg- ency.
 MT. Lloyd George, in reply to question said he did not believe the dictatorship in Germany would come d'etat adding that he did not think Chancellor Stresemann would go in for anything like that. The food situ- ation really was the controlling fac- tor, he explained.

LEGEND OF FAMOUS sToRt
sovereign Went Wherever Coronation
Stone Was Carried. Scotch
Belief


The stone which is called the Coro-
nation stone In England. TO most WISH
tors probably the most interesting
thing In Westminster abbey, has an
other and much more ancient name.
It's true name is Gaellc-Liath Fhat-
hal' which means in English the
Gray Stone Pillow"
Now, IL is certain that Queen Vic
'orla FIRMLY believed that the British
royai house descended from King
David, and. therefore, from Jacob
himself. and that the stone upon
which she received her crown was the
identical one upon which he rested
MS head at Bethel when he dreamed
Oh ascending and descending angels
ana heard OF the future greatness OF
the nation he should found.
The stone is also called the Stone
or Destiny. Doubtless this name. or
the tradition 1t enshrined. was the
reason that prompted the astute Ed
ward l 10 carry IL from It's ancient
site at Scone TO his own capital Of
London and deposit ii in st. Edward
the Confessor's chapel. 1t has re-
NAMED there ever since. except for
one brief ceremony-the installation
or Oliver Cromwell as lord protector
In Westminster hall.
But why the Stone of DestinyP
Well. not only had all the ancient
kings of Scotland, from the remotest
dawn of Scottish history, been
crowned on this stone. but II was
FIRMLY believed that wheresoever this
stone went there would 90 the sover-
eighty.
That was exactly what Edward
sought. so he carried off the Stone OF
Destiny. Doubtless, he also believed
that this disaster" as the Scots re-
garded it, would break the spirit OF
the northern kingdom. In this. OF
course, he was greatly mistaken. as
Bannockburn abundantly proved.
There was another reading of the
legend, however. 1t was this-that
Wherever the stone went there a Scot
should rule. And, with the death OF
Elizabeth, the crown of England de-
Nolved upon pure Scot. James VI OF
Scotland becoming James l of Great
britain and Ireland. 1t is, too. by
virtue of his Stuart blood that King
George sits today on the throne of
Britain.
Since the day that Edward l car
ried the Stone of Destiny from Scone
and deposited 1t in the abbey every
English sovereign, with che exception,
has been crowned upon 1t. That one
exception was Mary, the unhappy
