 TO HELP POLES
Improvement for the Pro- yisioning of the Population Is
 Noted.

BERLIN, Sept. 2.-The crop pros. poets in the occupied portions of Pc. land are good which means the turning point for the Polish popula tlon." says the Overseas News Az. ency.
 "When the German troops entered this country they found only smol derlng ruins as the Russians had de- stroyed towns and villages.
 For time the Germans supplied grain from Upper Silesia, Posen ana other districts and also from the stores captured in the fortress ol Noyogeorgieysk. The Germans also attempted to import foods by way of Sweden but this was prevented by the Russian government"
 The news agency then refers to the negotiations between Germany and Great Britain. though American channels. for obtaining relief for Pc. land. This plan failed and the Ger man authorities undertook the dis tribution of the stocks on hand and at the same time organized culti- yation Of the occupied districts on the largest possible scale.
 It is expected. the news agency says, that the steps will permit of considerable improvement in the provisioning of the Polish population.

BROUGHT TO PARIS NEWS OF
 REAL "GREAT PUSH''

LONDON. Aug. 15.-( (SpeciaD.- An Irishwomau from France where shc has been lecturing for the Red Cross. under special War Office license. told me little story oi the Great Push" today says well known correspondent at the front;

 Then came the deluge. Never in any country have ! known such doWnpcur. The rain seemed to fall ia solid black sheets from black sky. The streets were suddenly de- serted. Those who venturcd to cross thc road waded ankle deep in a tor rent of water.
 "The feeling of tenseness in the air was like something supcrhuman quite impossible Co describe There was a sudden cessation or all sounds Of traffic nothing but the roar Of Che rain could be heard.
 "I ran for a shelter in a nearby cale. It was only a few doors away but was drenched when ] entered it.
 "A curious expression had come ovcr che people who thronged the cafe. lt was not a questioning crowd. for all knew what had hap pened but it was thrilled into mo- mentary speechlessueSs at the sharp electric tension.
 News Through Elements.
 For days some great news had been expected-now 1t had come to the French people, not through the papers. but by lightning current to their inner senses. They knew that the British heavy artillery, clawing since dawn at the heavens, had torn them to shreds. They real ized what 1t meant. they sensed the tremendous c1ort of the Allies.
 'As ! came in at the door the women were rising almost reveren- tiaily to their feet. their faces pos it.ycly glowing in the gloom of the cafe. 'It is the Great Push-the Great Push they were crying hap oily to each other.
 "As l made my dripping way to a table ] was recognized as a British CT; and suddenly. like thunder clap above Che roar outside, the cry went up.

 Motor Vans for Verdun.
 This woman also told me cf be- ag at the great French military enter outside of Paris and seeing he khaki motor vans setting cut OF Ve-dun district with supplies or the fighting lines. There are lterally thousands of them and ey- .ry one Of them is driven by a wo- nan. They so by one route and lacb by another. and the great re- .olving circle is never broken and leyer stops.
 She has been permitted 10 see many things. but declares there is 10 more inspiring sight than that ,r the freshly loaded vans falling nto place in the whirling khaki .ircle and heading for the scenes of battle with grim-taced women at he wheels.
 "If the people at home" she avs. "could once see this circle .ould realize what 1t would mean to he fighting men and to the nation once it ceased to revolve for lack lf fuel. there would be no more sel- sh grumbling at the restrictions on petrol"
 A Scene at Charing Cross.
 Second only in pathos and war interest Co the sight of wounded sol Hers arriving at Charing Cross, London. is the picture which any )f the bis stations present between i've and seven in the evening when incoming trains of civilian un- wounded reach their Journeys end md the outside platforms are crowd ed by a ruffled. gesticulating. ex- cited. anxious throng all of whose opportunities. protestations and im- precautions are uEavailing to bring to their aid a single taxi.
 The taxis in quick procession bowl in and deposit their fares at ,he departure platforms. They are met many yards up by frantic ar rivals who try to bag them by the .aw-honored custom Of mounting the running board When they draw up free fight ensues be- .ween the one who f)ndly thinks he or she is to be the next fare and the swelling mob from the arriving tralns=now with noun tain of luggage dumped behind them
 The fight is broken up by the driyer-and perhaps a policeman or two-and the running boards are swept clear. There is no violence only two little words of magical power and decisiveness. The driv- CT utters them first with set teeth and an expression Of impoteut dis gruntlement and you can hear them passed round till the mass is all a. buzz.
 The driver steps in and the car disappears empty By this time general attention has been diverted io the next taxi and the mob scene is reenacted.
 Always. like little pun of poi soned gas, the magic words bring a suspension. There is a falling back, a momentary dazedness. then a gathering of forces for the next onslaught
 And the magic words?

MAINE MAY
 DECIDE TIE
 BIG BATTLE

CHICAGO. Sept. 2.-The Chicago Herald's special correspondent In Maine says that history would mere ly repeat itself if a majority of Maine's votes should be cast for the candidates of one political party in the September election and for the candidates of the opposition par ty in November This very thing occurred four years ago, when Maine elected Republican governor in September and returned a plurality for Woodrow Wilson in November.
 Maine is normally a Republican state, and when 1t goes Republican merely follows its natural bent Hence the normal effect throughout the country from a Republican vie, tory here would be practically negli gible.
 Watch September Election
 But a Democratic victory on Sept m. in the opinion Of most people to the Republicans would be tanta mount to che handwriting on the wall. It would have a disastrous eff feet throughout the country espec ially in doubtful states essential tc Republican success.
 That is why the Republicans are bending every effort to carry the state-that and the fact that two Senatorships are at stake.
 On the other hand, the Democrats figure that they have nothing to lose and everything to gain by fight ing for the State.

MoLDING PUBLIC OPINION BY SAP
Railroad Managers Bought Much Adver
tising Space With Purpose.

President Carter OF the Brotherhood
of Firemcn and Enginemen exposed the
fiction that newspapers mold opinion be-
cause of patriotic motives.
In an address before the annual meet
ing of the academy of political science
in New York, the brotherhood executive
said:
"Iu their efforts to convince the Amer
lean people that railroad employees
should not secure an eight-hour day, we
have reasons to believe that many mil
lions of dollars were expended in an at
tempt to suborn the public press of the
nation. We have evidence that in this
publicity campaign these railroad finan-
cial directors employed the advertising
pages of more than 5000 daily and more
than l4ooo weekly papers. Before these
millions We're poured into the advertis.
ing profits of these newspapers. many
were friendly TO our cause and a major
ity were Mt least neutral. Almost inn
mediatcly the editorial opinions of these
same newspapers voiced similar senti-
ments to those expressed in their adver-
tising pages"
