POLAND ALARMED
At FRENCH CHANGE
Herriot's Policy Leaves
Them Undefended for SIurs
to Germans in Past.
BY CONSTANTINE brown.

By Radio to The Star and Chicago Daily
News. Copyright. 1924.
PARIS. August 1s.-The change in
the French: postwar policy exhibited
by Premier Herriot at the London
conference in concessions made to
Germany is greatly alarming the
states of the little entente, which,
following the advice OF French poll
ticians, have been even more catholic
than France in their drastic treat
ment of Germany.
Poland and Rumania seem more
alarmed than Jugoslavfa and Czecho-
slovakia. on account of their precari-
Gus position. not only toward Ger
many. but toward Russia as we'll. The
Polish representatives at Paris are
almost panic stricken.
Since 1919 Poland has followed al
most to the letter Frances instruc-
tions and has not missed an oppor-
tunity to humiliate her western neigh
Dor. banking on the fact that her
treaty of alliance with France offered
ample security against any possible
German attack. Poland's intran-
sigeant attitude toward Russia was
based on the same feeling that she
was fully protected against her east
ern neighbor in any case of emergency.
Premier Herriot's policy, however,
disturbed the Polish leaders consid-
erably. and the worry was transform
ed into alarm when 1t was learned on
Thursday that the Polish Ambassador
to London, who had asked NJ. Herriot
for an audience to discuss the Polish
situation and asked him what would
be Frances future attitude toward
Poland's security, was dismissed by
the French premier after a discussion
that lasted only three minutes.
Polish official circles are at a loss,
for they realize that eventual protec-
ton by the League Of Nations against
German attack Is illusory and that
the league is absolutely powerless in
case of Russian attack.
They fear that between these two
mighty neighbors Poland's independ-
ence will be short-lived, despite all
the assurances that the league might
give them.
Rumania's position is less acute,
since she is threatened only with a
Russian attack. But that danger will
become more menacing when France
withdraws her actual support and
contents herself with sending diplo-
matte notes to Moscow.
The common menace is bound to
draw Poland and Rumania closer to-
eether, and the correspondent learns
on high authority that both govern
ments already have started discus
sions of the new situation and are
searching for means of averting the
impending dangers by closer CO.
operation.

POLICE TO CENTER
FIRE ON AUT0|STS
Will Concentrate on One
Block at Time to Nab Park.
ing vioIators.

Concentration Of the automobile
parking squad in one or two blocks
of the congested district at a time
was favored today by Commissioner
Oyster as the most immediate means
of solving the parking problem.
The Commissioner declared he
would advise Maj. Sullivan to take
such action in order to strictly en-
to catch every motorist who leaves
his car in one spot all day within the
restricted area.
A survey published in The Star yes>
terday brought out the fact that with
S,0s9 machines parked at one time in
the copgested area, the Traffic Bu-
reau Has only twenty men available
to check up on cars that overstay the
one-hour limit.
Inspector Albert ]. Headley, chief
of the Traffic Bureau, said these fig
ures indicated the need for a larger
number Of men in the Traffic Bureau,
but the police force is SO limited in
size that too many men cannot be
taken from patrol duty for traffic
work.
Commissioners Oyster also has gone
on record frequently in the past in
favor of enlargement Of the police
force in the interest Of better regula-
tior of all phases of the traffic situa-
ton.
The Commissioner said today, how
ever, that even with the present
limited number of bluecoats he be-
lieves the parking regulation can be
more rightly enforced by concen-
trating the available squad in a small
area each day. r--s
Under this plan each officer could
keep an exact check on the length
of time a certain number of cars re-
prosecute those who stay more than
one hour or all day.
The following day the squad would
move into the adjoining few squares
and single out the violators in that
area. In the course of time they
would reach every violator within the
restricted zone, which extends from
Seventh to Seventeenth streets and
from B to X streets.
Meanwhile, the traffic board, COM
posed of Mai. w. II. Hoicombe, In
poration Counsel Ringgold Hart, will
meet and formulate report to the
Commissioners, giving their views for
improving the parking situation.
OF course, the concentration of the
parking squad in small territory
each day will leave other streets
temporarily unguarded against vfo-
lators of the one-hour limit, but the
motorist will probably find it more
expensive to take a chance on violat.

day the check-up men may swarm

tions.
