THE ROMANCE
OF WORDS
"FRANK"

VKTHEN we say that a person
w is frank" we are under
stood as meaning that he is can
. did, open in his manner and
straightforward in his dealings,
a meaning which, at least, in its
metaphorical sense, goes back to
the powerful German tribe of
the Franks, the word meaning
free" or "unconquered."
The Franks were the ruling
people, honorably distinguished
from the Gauls and the degener-
ate Romans of their time by
their independence, their love of
freedom and their scorn of du-
plicity. In short, they possessed
the virtues which belong to a
conquering and dominant race
in the midst of an inferior and
conquered one. 1t was for this
reason that the word frank"
came by degrees to mean not
merely a national but a moral
distinction. A man who was
frank did not necessarily belong
to the Teutonic tribes bearing
that name, but he was one who
possessed certain moral qualities
the words franchise" and zen
reimbursement" being derived
from the same root, as is the
verb "to frank" meaning to send
matter through the mail free of
charge.

BOUNDARY
FIGHT FACED
BY LABOR
Party Will Enforce Treaty
Terms, Thomas Tells
Parliament.

LONDON, April 29.--Despite the
opposition Of Ulster. the Labor gov
eminent viii attempt to settle the
Ulster.Free State boundary dispute
in accordance with the terms of
the Anglo-Irish treaty, Colonial
Secretary j. H. Thomas announced
in commons this afternoon.
Ulster claims that the Free State
is seeking to detach territory from
the province to extend the Free
State borders.
Secretary Thomas announcement
that the government would carry
out the treaty provisions was
cheered by all parties except the
Ulsterites.
Commission Likely.
1t is expected that a commits
sion will be appointed shortly COM
posed of representatives of Eng
land, the Free State and Ulster.
The English government will be in
q position then when 1t must at
tempt to force Ulster to recognize
the validity of the commission.
Serious consequences may follow.
Ulster, being an independent
community, is represented in the
English parliament. The Irish Free
State, having autonomy, is not
represented at London.
Parliament reassembled today
after the Easter recess with the
labor government facing a bitter
struggle over the budget and the
Irish boundary dispute.
Preparations will be brought up
but this does not offer much diff
Guilty as all political factions are
supporting the Dawes plan.
Macdonald Hopeful.
There are strenuous weeks ahead.
but I am returning to work full Of
hope and announcement" said
Premier Ramsay Macdonald.
The cabinet was summoned this
morning to give final consideration
in the history Of England--which
Chancellor Of the Exchequer Phillip
Snowden introduced in, Commons
later in the day.
It was considered probable that
the so-called McKenna duties upon
foreign motor cars, films. musical
instruments and clocks would be
lifted entirely or modified.
Liberals to Urge Bill.
Liberal members already have an.
nounced their intention of proposing
such a reduction. Manufacturing
interests have opened a campaign
In favor Of maintaining the Nc
Kenna duties in the interests of
home industries.
The frontier dispute between the
Free State ana Ulster is causing
the cabinet anxiety. The Free State
has sent a note to London asking
for complete enforcement of the
Anglo-Irish treaty, which Ulster
opposes.

DUPL|CATEBOND
EVIDENCE IS
STUDIED

Preparation OF evidence into tha
alleged duplication of Government
securities and bonds at the Bureau
OF Engraving and Printing, was be.
gun today by the Special House
Committee.
The committee, meeting behind
closed doors, discussed the report of
officials Of the Treasury Depart.
ment, which treats the matter as of
little consequence. The Treasury
officials believe, It is stated, that IL
there were applications, they were
the result Of mechanical errors
rather than fraud.
Congressman Louis T. McFadden,
chairman OF the special committee,
said that the committee has ordered
the printing of large quantity of
evidence which has never been put
into form. There is much prelimi.
nary work still facing the committee
before hearings can be begun, he
stated. No date was set for the
next meeting.
