Christian Science Monitor: Various
devices, including lifts, that have
been installed in the great subter-

were recently officially opened to

of the intrepid work that has been
carried out during the last few
years in France’s “underworld.” The

BRITAIN LOOKS AT WAR ANEW
Marshall News Messenger: Oddly
silent throughout the first month of
the European war, David Lloyd
George has at last spoken, and when
he spoke he said a mouthful.
The little Welshman who was
Britain's World War premier, and
one of the “Big ’Four” who made
the peace of Versailles, has sug-
gested that Britain make clear that
it Ts noT Tlghtinif to force baek un-
der Polish rule the unwilling people
of another race, nor for restoration
of a regime which had been a
“wretched class government.” had
failed to prepare its people for de-
fense. and then deserted them when
their "feudal" government tumbled
about their ears in military disaster.
These are bitter words. Lloyd
George goes further to suggest that
the Russian invasion is not as bad
as the German because Russia took
over territory largely, occupied by
non-Polish people. His? implication
is that even if Germany should ho
forced tc disgorge the part of Po-
land it has swallowed, Britain should
not ask the same of Russia, and that
even if a Polish state should be re-
estah'i-h<d, it wruld Icok much dif-
ferent .from 'he one set up in 1 9J0.
Acronfir.g tor his book, “The Truth
About the Peace Treaties," published
last year, Lloyd George is not in-
consistent in this stand. No one
gave more trouble than the Poles in
the Versailles deliberations, he indi-
cated. He cited repeated inatances
m which the Poles demanded that
more territory be included in the
new Poland than was justified by
populations. France, he said, wanted
Poland to be as large as possible
for military reasons, and French
pressure led to including in Poland
“populations which would be an alien
and hostile element ... a source of
permanent weakness and danger.”
The weakness has been shown, the
danger realized. Now what.?
Even more interesting than what
Lloyd George said was the time h>T
said it, just_ when Poland as a
functioning natiop had ceased to
exi"t. Just what is Lloyd George
trying to tell the British people and
the world ? He denied that he
wanted to relieve Britain of her
guarantee to Poland, though he had
been against making it without Rus-
sian support.
What, will Britain da now? The
Polish war is over. Restoration of
a Polish state is one of the British
war aims.
But what kind of a Polish state?
Lloyd George's letter strongly sug-
gests that the part of Poland taken
by Russia may never be restored.
This would seem an effort to assure
Russia that Britain doe* not want
to fight her, but only Germany,
Any restoration of Poland can be
accomplished only by a full-dress
war on Germany. Such a war has
really not started yet. Will it start
soon'' and will it start at all? And
tf it dees, what will be the stated
war aims of the British and French ?
At the end of a month of the
Europe*r war, these ire the ques-
tions Britain and France may be
expected to answer. Until such
question* are definitely answered,
M b difficult to pierce the fog that
aew lies heavy over the European
task demands the utmost degree of
cool and calculated daring. *
Moreover, nothing could be fur-
ther frim the fact than the idea,
which seems widely held, that there
is little knowledge of real value to
be gained from these expeditions.
They have resulted in the discovery
of not only of natural marvels, but
of relics that have shed much light
on the man of prehistorid times; |
they have provided fresh data for
hydrology; and, occasionally, they
have enabled important schemes for
waterpower development to be car-
ried through successfully.

he said. “To assure fair competi-

among fourteen divisions according
to carrier transportation classifica-
tion and type of vehicle.
"The ratio of accidents per fleet
to mile operated and hours driven
will be the method used to deter-
mine the winners of the respective [
divisions.”
