A certain young gentleman of Sew
ard has been worrying much recently
about the Hard Times Dance. Not so
much the dance as the proper clothing
to wear, is bothering him. Being a
fastidious dresser, he is lothe to don
a costume that will detract from his
personal appearance or in any way
keep him from making the usual hit
with the girls. If he will call number
846 on the phone and ask for the So
ciety Editoress jshe will inform him
correctly. Call before 7:80 P. ML

WARSAW, Nov., 10— Polish aniay
intelligence officers report that Mos
cow offered a reward ot lftQOfiOQ «&•*
les for the capture, dead or alive, of
Major Cedric E. Fauntieroy, of Chica
go, and McGehee, Ark., commander of
the Polish air forces of the southern
front General Budenny's failure to
take Lemberg' when the bolsheviki
mad& the August drive upon Warsaw,
is attributed by Lenine and Tratsky
chiefly to file fight against the Cos
sacks from the air.
Major Fauntieroy wav recently ap
pointed chief of aviation of the Sixth
Polish Army. He has four squadrons
under his command, one of which is.
Che 'Kosciouszko air organisation com
posed chiefly of Americans. Aviators
of that squadron, undfer the command
of Captain George M. Crawford, of
Wilmington, Del., are known by bol
sh viki :;oli!rers of the southern front
as “devils of the air,” according to re
cently captured red soldiers.
During two days in August when
General Budenny was striving with
every force at his command tobreak
the Polish southern 'front and dash
into Lemberg, the bolshevild in the
north having virtually reached the
outskirts of Warsaw, the four squad
rons of the Sixth army made 129
flights, dropped 15,000 pounds .of
bombs and used 16,700 machine gun
bullets in attacks.
General Rozadowiski, chief of staff
of the Polish army, in a communica
tion to the chief of aviation , says:
“Activities of the squadrons of the 6th
army in battles with the cavalry ar
my of Budenny were directed with the
greatest efficiency, this being ac
knowledged by* statements of bolshe
vik prisoners, and soviet wireless mes
sages.”
One wireless message signed by
Budenny and intercepted by the Poles
said: “In battles near Lemberg our
Javalry troops sustained great losses
from Polish airplanes which flew In
squadrons of 12 planes bombing and
covering the soldiers with machine
gun fire.”
Reviewing the work of aviators of
the southern front General Rozwadow
ski wrote: “The extraordinary man
euvers of the air squadrons of the
Sixth army are due to the organisa
tion ability and unlimited energy of
die army’s chief of aviation, Major
fauntleroy, to whom I convey the
iiigheat praise for the enthusiasm with
vhich he has fought for Poland’s
cause,”
Major Fauntleroy was decorated by
Chief of State Pilsudski with the vir
wuti militari, the highest military
award of the Polish government. The
Major, who has been p member of the
Polish army more than a year, re-,
ceives in pay, at the present rate of
exchange owing to the low value of
ihe Polish mark, about $16 per month.
