The pendulum of dance is slowly toddling back to the old-fashioned steps, according to Chicago author!-1 ties, and they said. As Chicago goes, so goes the nation.

Oppeln, Upper Silesia. May 24 — (Special to Daily Democrat)—Armed only with knives, German volunteers successfully charged Polish machine gun nests Saturday, according to eye witnesses descriptions of the fighting reaching here today. Desperate efforts were made by the Germans to dislodge the Polish invaders. The Germans lost heavily but they succeeded in driving the Poles from a large area along the Oder river and captured extensive stores of arms and ammunitions.

At Gross Gorschutz, on the Czecho Slovakian frontier the Germans rounded up more than a thousand Poles. Along the boundary stood armed Czecho Slovaks ready to prevent invasion of their country. • The Germans declared they obtained a number of unopened cases of French ammunition.

Rather than face the problem of feeding the prisoners they were released after being disarmed and returned to the Silesian villages whence they came. In Southern Silesia a large German force obtained an armored train from which they fired inflicting heavy damage on Polish forces.

May 30th, in their big canvas theatre. The agent informed the ;a porter that the Guy Players had a brand new company, and that they were putting on all new plays during their stay in this city.
