Madame Curie, discoverer of radium, will leave VaEsar college for Xew York tomorrow morning- to begin a busy week of dinners and receptions by distinguished societies, of which the climax willv be the presentation of the gram ofy radium for which women of America raised $100,000. This presentation will be made by President Harding, in Wash ington at 4 o clock Friday afternoon. The three days Mme. Curie has passed visiting the college girls at Smith, Mount Holyoke and Vassar have noticeably rested her. She has traveled by automobile and passing much time in the open air and every where she has been greeted by hun dreds of girls who sang to her and pressed flowers upon her. A great bunch of lilies of the valley, the rift of Vassar students, she carried with her in a basket all the way. from Korthampton to Poughkeepsie. Sweet Peaa Are Presented. At Mount Holyoke a bunch of sweet peas presented by Mary Manson. president of the students league, was placed carefully beside the lilies, and to those in turn were added wild violets, commqi mustard and dog' wood blossoms which Madame her elf Picked by the roadside. - What other things Madame has noticed beside the beauty of the country and the wholesome fresh ness of the girls ehe has not said. But no one who has seen her can doubt that her keen eyes have ob served everything from the construe tion of the roads to the ventilation vstcms of the assembly halls. An amusing story is told by Mrs. William B. Meloney, chairman of the ra'dium fund committee, who escorted the great scientist and her daughters from France. HeatJas System Studied Mme. Curie had not been In her uite on the Olympic longer than a few minutes, Mrs. Maloney said, when she began to examine the heating sys tem, the method by which the furni ture was fastened in place and all the technical details. - Some time after the boat had started it was observed that madame was sitting at her desk ap parently deep in mathematical compu tation. One of the party asked what she was doing and the discoverer of radium pointed out a blind string which was swinging back and forth with the ship's motion. , "I was just trying to figure out from that," she said, "the direction in which we are traveling and the speed of the boat." West Point Is Visited. Madame Curie visited West Point this afternoon and on her return passed a quiet evening with Dr. Eliz abeth Thelberg, president of the New York State Women's Medical associa tion and resident physician at Vassar. Dr. Thelberg and the scientist are old friends. On Wednesday at 4:30 the official reception will be held by the associa tion of collegiate alumnae in Carnegie ball.

WARNED Cont1nuM From first Pae. ' It. is a startling fact that Germany snouia oe regarded as the best in ctrument for securing respect for its provisions. But such is the case of the upper Silesian situation The time seems to be coming when pro-German will cease to be a taunt and become a commendation. The danger now is felt to be that Ger many may be provoked by the Poles to make a plunge into war-like meas tires without authorziation. in which event it is fully believed that France would immediately seize the Ruhr, Then Premier Lloyd George's fear of the new war would be realized. The situation, therefore, is highly critical unless the Poles retire within their proper boundary, which France alone can persuade them to do. Premier Lloyd George in his speech in the commons yesterday on Poland was careful not to hint that France liad any hand in the Polish coup, but the Parisian press outcry against the measures being taken to compel Po land to respect the decrees of the su ' preme council showed pretty plainly where French sympathy was. The Folish action is, in effect, a repetition of Germany's "scrap of pa per", policy. Poland is bound by the treaty to respect the result of the plebiscite as interpreted by the su preme council. She has deliberately violated it and France resents the suggestion that she must be forced, if necessary, to abide by her engagements. But the problem is who Is to apply the force? Britain certainly is not sending an army to Poland or any where else outside of her own dominions. Field Marshal Sir Henry Wilson, the British army chief, shows what the military policy of this gov ernment is in a speech which has not attracted the attention that it de serves. "My advice is," he said "that we should come out of those theaters of operation which do not belong to us and hang on to those that do. Those that do belong to us are only four: England, Ireland. Egypt and India." Then came the most significant passage of all, read in the light of the outbreaks of naval and military In- BRITOX LEADS GERMAN FORCE Thirty-Eight Poles Are Killed and 8 7 Taken Prisoners.

JVew lork, which has suffered at va rious times from "crime waves,' "hold-up waves," and "suicide waves.' now faces the danger of being en gulfed by a "bigamy wave."
