The program is as follows: Chlef erhoe, In an original Indian act of a novelty kind; Shepard and Mt, o male and femals singing aet, ] dancing numbers and plane selec- tions; Howland, Irwin and Howland, party will contest the elections for the Ulster Parliament. The Union- ists are going ahead with their elec- tion plans and preparing to select candidates and it is not unlikely that Sinn Feiners will take the field against them, but the Nationalists are stfll of two minds as to whether to enter the lists. If they do thelr didates will, it is understood, take their seats in the new parliament. In accordance with the party tactics adopted at the parliamentary election two years ago, Sinn Fein candidates if elected, will have nothing to do with the Ulster parliament. Canferences have been held lately in Dublin between Nationalists and Sinn Feln leaders for the purpose of trying to agree on a plan of joint action with regard to the forthcom- ing elections. The first meeting, it is sald, was between Joseph Devlin and President De Valera of the Dail Bireann. They disucssed several pro- posals of mutual party action and the conversations had not been con- cluded when Mr. Devlin left for Lon- don for the reopening of Parliament. Later two other nationalist leaders went to Dublin to talk with Mr. De Valera, but, it is said, no agreement could be reached. Ulster Nationalists have no love for the Sinn Fein and they are loath to take any step that would aid the Sinn Fein cause. Hence one section of the party here is in favor of con- testing the elections. Another sec- tion, said to be equally strong, would refrajn from entering the elections because of the belief that the forma- tion of & Nationalist opposition in the Ulster parliament would be play- ing directly into the hands of the Unionists. “Suppose,” successful can- sald a prominent Na- tionalist to the correspondent, “‘we contésted the @lections. ‘We could win at the most only 12 or 15 scats out of the 52. Our opposition, there- fore, not only would be futile but it would be a blessing to the Unionists. To erush our little Catholic minority, the Unionists would sink all their own differences and present a solid front against us. If there is no opposi- tion, they will be deprived of a sec- tarian rallying cry, and they will have some lively fights among them- selves which may disrupt then- whole party organization. " A meeting of the hut.lonuluu is to be held soon to decide the question of contesting the elections.

SENATOR BOWERS EXPLAINS Tells Senate That He Was Against Two Platoop Bill Because a Simi- lar Bill Is Stll in Committee. (Specia) to The Herald.) Senator Bowers, chairman of the wier the cities and boroughs committee of the legislature, ewplained his position on the two platoon system for cities. He explained that ho was against the two bills reported Lecause Arthur N. Ru- therford's bill was still before com- mittee. The unfavorable report on the two bills were just a magter of form, and they were interpreted wrong by the press. The fight for the two platoon sys- tem boils dowp to a dispute in com- mittee over Rutherford’s bill which has not yet been acted upon.

The pile of flowers and wreaths is fed with fresh contributions from ear- ly morning until late at night. There seems no end to the little ceremonies by organizations held at the grave to honor the war dead. Little shop girls bring small bunches of violets that ocost 50 centimes; statesmen passing through Paris place there great wreaths as tributes from their coun- triea Since November 11, 1920, when the unknown soldier was placed under the arch, there has always been a group or crowd of mourners at the shrine cf the dead. There has alwaya been a huge pile of flowers. On Sun- days, thousands stream there from the 12 avenues that co%rge at the Etoile, as the circular en space sur- rounding the arch is called and there is a procession of people with bared heads passing by the mound of flow- ers. Many teachers. bring their classes and there is a movement atoot to ar- range that in each of the public schools of Paris a small contribution shall be collected on a separate day in each school to buy flowers to be placed on the slab by a delegation of honor pupils, so that there may be such a tribute of the children ot France to the war dead every day of the year.

In this case, however, the boy is reput- ed to have been kidnapped by a leopard. He has been recaptured and his father is now keeping a sharp eye on him to see that he does not run away to the woods. The Times credits the tale to Stew=- art Baker, who was recently in the undeveloped country round the Cach- ar hills on the northeast frontier of India where he was in charge of road-mending. It is customary in that region for the villagers to mend roads instead of paying taxes. Mr. Baker asked a villager why he did not do his share of road-mending. The man replied that he was afraid to leave his village. His wife having dled a short time previously, he had no one to take care of his _little “wild son” who, in his absence, might run into the jungle and get lost. Mr. Baker paid the villager a visit and found with him a child about seven years of age, with in- numerable white scars of tiny cuts and scratches all over its body. The child’s father told him that, five years before, the villagers of Cachari had killed two leopard cubs. The mother leopard had prowled about the jungle bordering on the village. A few day’s later the mother of the child left it lying on a cloth while she went away to reap rice. In her absence the mother leopard car- ried the child off. The Vvillagers searched for it but could find no trace of it. Some three years later a sportsman killed a geopard in the jungle. He told the Willagers that the leopard had two cubs. They searched the jungle armd found the two cubs and with them the missing child. It ran on all fours quite fast, dodged and hid in bushes with great agility and skill and bit and fought with everyone who tried to lay hold of it. It tore to pleces and ate with extra- ordinary quickness any village fowl that came its way.
