FRANCE FIGHTS
FOR POLAND
ON PACT
Critical Stage Reached BY
Conferees-EngIand Backs
Germany's Move
By S. DUNBAR WEYER,
By international News Service

LOCARNO, Switzerland, Oct. 81
With the arrival of Foreign Minister
Skrzynski of Poland today. the Sc
curity pact conference reached the
critical stage, with Poland cast as
the stormy petrol of the threatened
tempests.
Germany will fight to the last to
keep Poland out Of the conference.
Nations Opposed
England, it was felt, takes sides
with Germany in the fight, although
mot openly.
Poland take her seat at the peace
table as Germany Is to keep her
out.
Admitted or not, Poland's dele
gates will stay here and fight stub
bornlv to save her the fruits of
war, chiefly the independent status
of the free city Of Danzig and the
Polish corridor.
That corridor is a thorn in the
side of Germany. Germany's repre-
sentatives at Locarno will not dare
return home with any agreement
that undertakes to guarantee the
corridor in perpetuity.
With the Germans, the corridor
is much more Of question than
security and unless some means
can be found of steering around
this rock, the conference may be
wrecked either on this issue or
some shoal resulting from it.
The danger lies In the determine
ton OF France to link the pact
guaranteeing western borders,
with the pact. guaranteeing the
eastern boundary of Germany.
Premier Luther's long conference
with Aristide BRAND yesterday fail.
ed to make the French foreign min
lister yield an iota of this de-
termination.
France Out to Fight
France sees In her ally, Poland,
the one great potential barrier
against Bolshevism and the buffer
between Germany and her friend,
Soviet Russia. France is resolved
to stick to Poland through thick
and thin,
Thus Ii is that France demands
that the guarantees Of Germany
western borders give France the
right to enforce the conditions OF
the western agreement on the east
ern borders also.
If Germany should violate the
eastern borders, according to the
French view, she thereby has yiO-
lated the western pact. In other
words, France insists on the right
to intervene on Poland's side as
soon as Germany makes an attempt
to ''rectify" her Polish border.

HULL, England, Sept. 10.-Ruler
of 100000 dusky warriors and one
of the most romantic figures in the
history of East Africa, John ROyes,
the White King of Wa-Kikuyu, has
returned to England after four
teen years spent in the company
of the savage and warlike tribes of
Kenya.
Born in Hull, the English sea-
port, Boyes ran away to sea in
his early years, and made his way
to Africa. In the company of a
big-game hunter he made his way
to the Kikuyu country, where only
two white men had ever been
before, The British government
had previously sent numerous
parties to make peace with this
district, but they had all been
massacred.
Boyes persuaded the natives that
it was impossible to kill him, and
gained their good win by drinking
effervescing salts, convincing them
that he could drink boiling water"
because he was "ironslined." A
Ginning clock and a phonograph,
which they thought was great

quest of the tribes, and he at

TEAMS ARE INVITED
BY POTOMAC LEAGUE

Important business is to be taken
up at the meeting of the Potomac
Base Ball League on Friday night at
the office Of the supervisor of play
grounds, room ,. District Building.
All members of the league are re-
quested to be present. and the invita-
tion is extended by President Morton
A. Anderson to all unlimited teams of
the District that wish TO become affi-
liated with the organization.
AS several clubs have expressed a
desire to become members or league
playing on week days and Sundays as
well, and others are unable to muster
teams during the week, an effort will
be made to form two circles.
Starting with IS teams last year,
the Potomac League finished the sea-
son with but 13 on its roll Divided
into three sections these teams made
an unlimited amount of work for the
officials and caused a great deal of
general dissatisfaction. The plan for
the coming season is to form two
leagues Of eight clubs each and to
organize additional leagues IL neces-
sary.
An increase in the amount of fran
chise money is also being advocated
by several teams that participated In
the Potomac League loop last season.
1t Is thought that by raising the
franchise clubs will stay in the COM
petition until the close OF the season
and not drop by the wayside when
they seem to be out of the running.
thus killing interest and dishearten-
Ing teams that stay in and continue
to play.
President Anderson is hoping that
the league or leagues that may be
formed will be placed under the di-
rect supervision of the Washington
Base Ball and Athletic Association,
thereby bringing the teams into close
contact with the directors, who then
can take care of protests and other
matters that may arise.
