MOBS AND POLICE CLASH.
The Situation in Poland is Described
Us increasingly Grave.
(By Associated Press.)

st. Petersburg, Jan. 31.-(2:45 p.
m.)-The latest reports from Warsaw
depict the situation throughout
Poland as increasingly serious. Minor
collision between the troops and police
and the populace continue to swell
the number of dead. Trade and In
dustry are completely at a standstill
and the presence Of thousands of idle
Workmen who have been out of en-
pioyment for months and are starving
and desperate adds a, factor of the
greatest danger which is not present
to the same extent in st. Petersburg,
where the government orders for war
purposes have kept the factories busy.
The American Vice Consul at War
saw. Witold Fouchas, telegraphs that
many stores chiefly Russian, have
been pillaged by mods and that the
shops and factories without exceD-
ton are closed. A general strike is
in effect. Those who are not willing
TO walk Que are compelled to join the
striKers by threats. Mr.. Fouchas saw
no Improvement in the situation up
to late last night and reported the
receipt of bad news from LodZ and
Radon.
1t is estimated that the number of
killed or wounded at Warsaw is about
one hundred which is a conservative
estimate.
RiOting and Political Matters.
The rioting in Poland will largely
affect the economic situation. The
factories at Warsaw. LodZ, PetrOkoff
and other Industrial centers I'm Poland
have been compelled gradually to re-
duoe their output and decrease their
working forces since the outbreak OF
the war which has almost entirely
closed the Siberian and Manchurian
markets. The result has been that
thousands of Workmen have been
thrown out of employment fof many
months furnishing a horde of hungry
people among whom the news from
st. Petersburg produced an outburst
of riotous and incendiary spirit. It
is feared that q large proportion of
those thousands may be utilized by
the revolutionary organizations in Po-
land which is the hot bed of socialism
and the movement may develop a
purely political character though there
is no indication so far of any cooper
alton on the part of intelligent classes

Far-reaching plans for placing the military establishment on a more efficient footing are being made by the General Staff of the army The old adage of Tn time of peace prepare for war.

 The only increase will probably be tn the artillery. We are increasing coast defenses and have not the men needed in that branch of the service. Further than that. there will be no legislation increasing the army.

The proposed army reserve force IS regarded by many as a blow at the National Guard. The general staff. is said to favor the measurs and The Army and Navy Journal Is enlisted in the cause. ~

The proposition has been ad- vanced--and we think most wisely that provision should be made now for the establishment of such reserve. consisting of at least 10000 men ready, in case of emergency, to bring the strength of the army to its maximum. It has been suggested, and a recom- mendation to this effect wiu undoubt- edly be made to the next Congress, that this Regular Reserve" should consist entirely of honorably discharged sol diers of the regular army.

 The National Guard of all the States considers it a lick at the militia orr ganization as it now exists and an off ficer in the New York Guard says, If the proposed plan is put through, the diverting of the Federal aid to the proposed reserve would inevitably tend to operate against the National Guard.
