Borah and Polish Envoy Have Tilt
WASHINGTON, Oct. 36—(UP) —A verbal tilt between Senator William E. Borah of Idaho and tne Polish ambassador provided lively gossip for diplomatic circles and let to an exchange of statements between the two tonight.
Borah, chairman of the senate foreign relations committee, told French newspapermen last week that the Polish corridor, separating East Prussia from the rest of Germany, was a menace to European peace and should be abolished.
The ambassador told Borah bis statement might lead to armed conflict in Europe. Borah replied that it was the corridor Itself and not his statement that was a menace. Finally the ambassador said he did not believe Borah had complete information on the subject.
According to one version, Borah’s reply to this remark was that he knew "too much about the subject." The ambassador, however, asserted Borah admitted his knowledge of central European conditions was inadequate.
F&lstaff, Mistress Page, and Mistress Ford will appear in person to revive this famous literary classic. A mysterious message has been received to the effect that these honored guests will portray portions from different sections of the play in the true fashion of many centuries ago.
CLEVER SKITS
Different groups of girls represented on the campus are already planning secret ways and means of gaining favor wtth these ghostly intruders. Clever skits based on famous incidents, featuring characters in Shakespearian costumes, will form largely the evening's entertainment.
Girls famed for never opening books can be observed studiously perusing a volume of the “Merry Wives” in search of bigger and better originality. This extraordinary industry is largely due to the promise of a grand prize to be awarded the group producing the most excellent skit.
Helen of Troy, as yet unknown, will preside wtth dignity at the gay affair, as befits the queen of such a unique domain. Co-eds of musical and terpsichorean talent will contribute to the evening’s joy by presenting their utmost efforts in a score of specialty numbers.
PRIZES FOR WINNERS
Climaxing the evening's celebration will be the grand promenade, when the most appropriate and striking costume will be chosen. Prizes will be awarded the winners, and honorable mention will be received by others.
When the last speech Is over the Shakespearian apparitions will bid farewell to Troy and glide back to their unknown regions, leaving with us a better sympathy and understanding of their creator.
