In connection with the question
of special session Mr.. Early said
that most of the inquiries reach

their plans accordingly. The White

launch a major offensive for a
least several days.


On the economic home front the
big event was the broadcast by Paul
Reynaud, minister of finance, ex-
planning the exchange control and
other wartime financial measures.
M. Reynaud told the nation that in
1918 the issue of war did not hang
on the position of little flags on Q
map German armies still occupied
five French departments. But the
German morale was broken because
the economy, finances and money of
the enemy were literally exhausted"
This time, NJ Reynaud stated,
Germany already has been used up
to large measure by the gigantic
efforts she made to prepare for war.
Economically and financially Ger
many already is vulnerable. On this
front Germany has no fresh troops.
He said that France, in contrast,
had gone into action under eco
nomic conditions very superior to the
enemy" M Reynaud added that
Frances gold stock had increased
by 80 per cent in recent months and
that French banks today held twice
the amount of gold they had in 1914
He urged the people behind the lines
to fulfill two duties: Produce as
much as possible; consume as little
as possible.
M. Reynaud did not say at what
rate the franc would be pegged in re-
lation to foreign currencies.
In foreign exchange today, the
franc was quoted at 43.70 to the dol
lar and 1850 to the pound sterling,
representing virtually no change
from last weeks official Bourse clos
ings. This was taken to indicate the
new control would maintain the
franc at least temporarily at rates
formerly prevailing on the open
market.

Correspondents of several Hun
garian newspapers reported today
the Polish forces were taking up a
new defense line, beginning at Bialy-
stok, about 10 miles northeast of
Warsaw: swinging in an arc down
to the Vistula River just south of
the capital, following the river for
125 miles, and then swinging SOUTH
east toward Rumania
The papers pointed out Polish
military tradition always has been
to retreat to the Vistula, strengthen
the position there and then launch
counterattacks.
The war correspondent of one of
the Budapest papers pointed out
the Poles were following the de-
Tense strategy of retreat and consol-
idation which won Poland its
greatest successes in the past. He
said Polish losses so far were not
great, with few prisoners taken and
little artillery and other equipment
captured.

TOWN To LEASE
BUCKEYE LAKE
Contract Will be Signed as
Soon as Liability Insurance
Policy is Delivered
Action of Council Assures
Municipal Swimming Place
This Summer

Bluflton was assured of a swimming
place for this summer when the own
council Monday night decided to sign
the lease for Buckeye Lake offered to
the municipality by the Central Ohio
Light and Power CO., owner of the
premises.
Negotiations will be completed as
soon as a liability insuance policy
contracted for the town is delivered.
Arrival of the policy is expected soon.
At Monday nights meeting, the
council authorized the mayor and the
clerk to sign the lease, assuring con-
tinuation of the waterfilled quarry as
Bluffton's bathing center. Vote on
signing of the lease was unanimous.
One of the first steps in preparing
the pool for this summer will be to
remove the floats and inspect them,
municipal authorities announced. If
practical present floats will be repair
ed. If not, new ones will be built,
according to present plans.
May Suitcase Pool
Sentiment of the council now ap-
pears to be in favor of sub-leasing the
lake, but no definite action has been
AIKEN as yet.
A community auction to raise funds
for the improvement of bathing ia
cilities at Buckeye Lake will be held
Friday of next week, under auspices
of the Bluffton Lions club.
Plans for the auction are nearing
and those in charge of the
program hope to net approximately
$1,000 thru the sale of items donated
by residents of the town and commun-
ity.
Leasing of the Buckeye by the town
is the result of an announcement
made several weeks ago by officials
of the Central Ohio utility that they
would not sub-let the swimming cen
ter to an Independent operator this
summer, but that the lake was avail
able to the town at nominal cost of
one dollar for five year ease.
