Enrone's Powder Barrel.

| . 4VWONA APNAANA'
1t savors of the ironical that on the
very day President Coolidge signed the
document attesting American ratifica.
ton of the Kellogg pact the cables
| brought news from Europes ever-smol-
dering powder barrel. The news con-
| Germs the new "Alsace-Lorraine" which
the peace of Versailles set up when ii
allocated the former Prussian province
of PoSen to the newly created state OF
Poland. In particular, the information
relates to Germanys well known
though not officially acknowledged, de-
termination not to permit 1.-The Polish
corridor" permanently to cut off East
Prussia from the rest of the Reich.
The light has been suddenly and sem
sationally turned on the German-Pol-
ish situation by disclosures in the Eng
lish Review of Reviews. A day or
two ago that magazine published a
secret memorandum of Gen. Groener,
the German minister of defense. It
was prepared in November for the con-
fidential use of members of the Ger
man cabinet, influential Reichstag dep
uties and representatives of the Ger
man federal states. The memorandum
exposes in detail the Reich's extensive
plans for a war Of defense against
Poland. It's outstanding feature is an
outline of military tactics designed to
keep the Poles from taking more of
Upper Silesian territory or a portion
of East Prussia.
Although Poland and the Reich are
land neighbors, the Groener scheme
contemplates German naval operations
against the Poles. Germany, above all,
it is pointed out, must take such meas
ures as will enable her to combat the
danger she would face If Poland, hav-
ing attacked, were to throw troops into
the corridor and thus detach the
easternmost territory from the remain
der of the Reich.
Germany's only means of communi-
cation with an East Prussia thus cut
off would be by sea. To maintain it.
Gen. Groener's strategic plan sets
forth, Germany must possess larger
feet than Poland Superiority at sea
now rests with the Reich, but France
is Poland's ally, and French fleet
suddenly rushed to the Baltic would
promptly transfer the advantage to
Germany's foes. The Germans must,
therefore, proceed to construct navy
which will enable them to hold the
Skagerrak in any emergency. Other
wise, Gen. Groener's memorandum
argues, the Polish menace can never
be effectually met.
Far from proving the uselessness Of
such covenants as the Kellogg pact,
the German-Polish situation vindicates
their grim necessity. Both Germany
and Poland are signatories to the pact.
They have pledged themselves to re-
nounce war as an instrument of ma
tional policy. The Gen. Groeners and
other hotspurs In both countries to the
contrary Notwithstanding, the world
must continue to persuade itself that
the Polish corridor will not be per-
mitted to plunge Europe into the halo
caust Of another war.

Whalen's Hard Job.

New YorkS new commissioner Of 20
lice, Grover Whalen, who has under
taken this job at the special urging of
Mayor Walker as a means of curing the
crime conditions from which the big
city Is suffering, passes from one COM
plication and problem to another. First
he had the Rothstein murder to solve.
Indeed, it was primarily on account of
that clouded crime that a change in
the commissionership was effected. But
the Rothstein case did not solve speed
lily, and while it was working out the
commissioner went after the poison
liquor question and started a series of
raids on booze joints and spread terror
among the illicit distillers and vendors
Having thus stirred things up pretty eff
fectually, Commissioner Whalen turned
to the traffic question, and was about to
institute a new system of control over
the night crowds in the streets when
his mind was detected by a daring
jewelry crime, which is described as the
most perfectly executed coup of its sort
New York has ever known. Five cor
rectly dressed young men drove up to
one of the most exclusive of the Park
avenue shops just before noon. and en-
tering held up the establishment, roping
the manager and all his aides and then
turning out the safe and receptacles.
They secured the place for gems, leav-
ing only one jewel, too big and too well
known to be reckoned as safe loot.
They got away quickly, leaving not a
trace or a finger print. The police COM
missioner was on the job in short order,
in person, and has charge of the in
vestigation.
Police commissionerships in New
York are not sinecures They are ardu-
Gus assignments. They are especially
difficult when they run across the lines
of political privilege and immunity.
Too much thoroughness is not always
desirable. Take the matter of the speak
easies and night clubs that were raided
~ Commissioner .Whalen's forces. It ID

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON,


Art and Nature.
Airplane hurrying past a cloud
Seems creature strong and proud.
1t reflects the sunset sky
Like giant butterfly.
Swiftly, in majestic flight,
It will fade away from sight,
Secrets of the air to learn
Sometimes, never to return.
Waiting, as the months go by.
For the real butterfly
Where the sunbeams, day by day,
'Mongst the perfumed blossoms stray
Better than yon work of art,
With an engine for a heart,
Seems this being, I confess,
Born of Natures loneliness.

BY Way of Relaxation.

When psychoanalysis fills us with doubt
And crime assumes aspects of glory,
Up there in the attic, I wander about
In quest of an honest old story.
I turn to adventure of long, long ago.
1t Is with relief that 1 do so.
I feel much indebted to Daniel Defoe
For giving us Robinson Crusoe.
