Poles Establish Front.

Warsaw, Dec. 2S.-(By Associat.
ed Press. 1.-The Polish government
has established thin military front
against the advancing bolshevik
forces. The line extends from Lapy
in the north southwark to Litry, and
beyond Lemberg. The Polish troops
have occupied the railway stations
and the main railway line on the
borders of the territories held by
them.
Thousands of Russian refugees
continue to arrive in Poland. 1t is
reported that the Germans are pre-
pairing to hand over wilma to the boil
sheviki.
The Polish government has re-
ceived reports that thousand Poles
have been massacred at Pinsk by
bolshevik and Ukrainian forces,
who are advancing toward Brest-
Litovsk, which the Germans are pre-
pairing to abandon.
The republic of West Ukraine has
been formed at Tarnopol, Galicia,
under the presidency of Constantine
Levitsky. The new government is
favorable to the entente.
Bolsheviki Post Proclamation.
Al German soldiers arriving here
from Wilma have brought with them
copies of a declaration of bolshevik
principles which were posted at Vii
ma. The proclamation. which is. adj
dressed to the workers of the world.
especially to those in the central en-
pires, is signed by Lenine and
Sverdloff. 1t makes these declara-
tons:
THE treaty of Brest-Litovsk is
abolished.
THE last act of former Emperor
William was to expel the representa-
tive of the Russian government in
Berlin.
The treaties with Germany have
been annulled by the German and
Russian revolutions.
Offer Truce Peace.
"The free Russian people will
make truce peace with those of
America, Austria and Germany ac-
cording to the principles of Lenine.
THE right to decide the destinies
of nations shall be reserved to the
workmen of such nations while the
capitalists, having caused the war,
must pay indemnities.
"The union of Russia. Austria
and Germany must be established on
the ruins of militarism, imperialism
and economic slavery.
1T is hoped that all nations will
join such a union after the Russian
union has successfully opposed the
foreign bourgeoise. The Russian
union will never submit to Anglo
American imperialism
The working class of the entente
must force their governments to
a peace negotiated with the mass of
the Russian people. The Russian
soviet will use its forces to oppose
foreign capitalism and will protect
the people liberated from German
domination.

Road to Success.
Worldly success, that has cast
failure into insignifcance, through
enduring work, thrift and safe and
sane investments is personifed in
hundreds of Omaha's prominent and
successful business men. With the
, coming New Year in the full bloom
Of peace, enhancing these men
toward greater success by closer
throught to new resolutions, which
will be practiced in financial and
personal dealings, a new CONNER
cialized Omaha will arise.
The Gate City of the west will
shine with pride from her advanta-
geous position in the financial world.
Her industries that already have
gained such prominence will in
crease and it will be due to the per-
sonally gained success of each in
dividual business man as much as to
that cooperation so vital to any
community. Much of the great sue
cess of fnanciers and business men
of this city has had its foundation
on past New Year resolutions,
which, obviously, have been prac-
ticed.
Many are the stories of hard OBJ.
stacles that were overcome by ap-
plication and courageous interest in

Sane Investments.
Safe and sane investments offer
the quickest and surest way of at

of some OF those who have made
good against all handicaps.

PREMIER
UPHELD IN
B R II | s /.
ELEC CTI0N
Government Coalition Will
Command 519 Seats Out
of Total of 707 in
New Parliament.

London, Dec. 28.-The broad fea-
lures of the election results an
nounced today are the sweeping
triumph of the Lloyd George coali-
ton, the complete rout of the As
quithians, the pacifists and the wo-
men candidates, and, perhaps most
significant of all the victory of the
SIM Feiners all along the line.
That the coalition government
would be victorious had been fore
gone conclusion despite the rum
blings of rumor between the polling
and the counting of the votes that
labor would make an unexpected
showing. But that David Lloyd
George would command completely
an overwhelming majority in the
new house in the proportion of al
most five to one had never been
contemplated, even by the most
sanguine coalitionists. And since
coalition, as it now operates, is dis
tinctly more conservative than lib
eral in its composition and tenden-
cies, this result of the first election
under the extended franchise and
with the participation of millions
of women voters is most suggestive.
SIG Seats for Coalition.
Premier Lloyd George, with only
four results yet to be announced,
has 519 seats for his coalition, out
of a membership of 707. The Sim
Feiners have elected 20 members
and labor approximately rs.
OF IA women candidates only one
will be entitled to sit in the house
of commons, namely Sim Feiner,
Countess Markievicz, who was elect
ed for St. Patrick's division of Dub
lin city. But, as the Sim Feiners
refuse to sit at Westminster, the
house of commons will, as hitherto,
be composed entirely of males.
All the other women candidates,
including many of the foremost in
the women's movements, were re-
jected by Their constituencies.
Christabel Pankhurst came the near
est of these to being elected, being
defeated only by a narrow majority
by a laborite.
Sim Feiners Sweep Ireland.
The Sim Feiners, as expected, not
only swept Ireland, but gained their
seats. with enormous majorities,
leaving the nationalist representa-
ton in the new parliament a bare
seven members. John Dillon, the
nationalist leader, was defeated by
E. DeValera, Sim Feiner, for East
Mayo, by a majority of over 1000.
Joseph Devlin, however, defeated
DeValera for the West Belfast seat.
DeValera also was candidate in the
South Down constituency.
A prominent feature of the poll
ing revealed by the count is the
comparative smallness of the polls
compared with the registered num-
Der of electors. No figures are
available yet as to what extent the
army and navy have voted. 1t
should also be noted that the defeat
of the Asquithians, especially the
former ministers, in most cases can
be attributed in part to split votes
in three-cornered constituencies.
Coalitionist Majorities Large.
Not only has no coalition minis
ter been defeated, but most of them
were reelected by extraordinary ma
jorities. For instance, Premier
Lloyd Georges majority is about
10000; Winston .Churchill's, $4,000, |
and Andrew Bonar Laws. 10000.
Majorities we'll over 10000 were

Captain Christie Last to Leave

Sing "Star Spansled Banner

Washington, july 20.-Altho Captain
Christie, of the armored cruiser San
Diego. reported his belief that it was
a torpedo that sent the ship down of
Long Island yesterday, further reports
today showing five or six mines were
destroyed by war ships in the vicinity
last night, strengthened the opinion of
naval officers here that an enemy sub
marine was not responsible for the
disaster.
A statement issued today by Rear Ad-
miral Palmer. acting secretary OF the
navy, ebmmends the exemplary con-
duct Of officers and men of the San

Gus behavior Of Captain Christie, who
was the last to leave the ship.

As the ship was turning over the
captain made his way over the side and

tive officer were cheered by the men

down the men sang THE Star Spangled
Banner"
The statement disclosed that five or
six mines were destroyed last night in
the vicinity of the sinking. and that
noSreports have been received of sub
marine near here.
That there was little II any loss Of

was abandoned in good order, all hands

The attempts of the crown princes

Both on the northern end of the line
