Jests and Carvings Highlight Fifth Avenue Church Facade
A New York Associated Press dispatch details St. Thomas Episcopal Church on Fifth Avenue, whose Gothic design reveals carved irony and history. Among the carvings are a dollar sign above the bride’s entrance and fist-sized figures above the main door, including a “divorcee” and a “Prohibition” scene. War figures honor Wilson and Lloyd George, with labor and capital depicted in conflict near the Woolworth Building. Prominent war leaders and figures also appear, approved by Rector Ernest M. Stires, as part of a broader program linking modern history to sacred architecture.

Allies Decide Boundary for Silesian Area
Paris reports Premier Briand and Lloyd George reached a private compromise over Upper Silesia. The line roughly bisects the plebiscite area, beginning west of the Vistula and running west of Gleiwitz and Test, then north to between Rosenberg and Kreuzburg before reaching the northern frontier. Reinforcements were not ordered, with British and Italian delegations opposing France's push. The council favored the line as closer to the plebiscite's meaning, though words remain cautious.
