FIRST FIGHT STAGED
 IN POLISH DIET OVER MARSHAL ELECTION.
Women and Boys Fighting in Army Investing Lem- berg-POles and Ruthe-
 nians Disagree
By Associated Press

Warsaw, Saturday, February 15.-The peace conference delegation to Poland will send commission to Lemberg Mon day in an endeavor to arrange an armi- stice with the forces beseiging that city.
 One of the difficulties to arranging an armistice is that the Ruthenian leaders have little power over their followers. The situation in Lemberg is very bad with women and boys continuing to fight side by side with a number of exhausted and i'll equipped Polish regulars.
 Allied officers who visited the city re- gently say they saw wounded women being taken into the hospitals.
 The Ruthenians, it is asserted, do not want to surrender the oil wells south of Lemberg, fron which at present they are deriving profit by selling oil to Hun gary, receiving produce and war ma terials in exchange. The Ruthenians de sire the territory up the Han river as far as PrzemysL The Poles also desire possession of the oil wells and a com promise will have to be effected.
 The fiEsA political fight in the new Polish O st ha<S taken place. It was be- tween nihmbers of the peasant party and gro 4ts of the right. and arose over the elecrl T of a. mashal of the Diet, a positiol which is equivalent to president of the French Chamber of Deputies. The canditia1e of the groups of the right was electeA by four votes. The socialists sup portst the peasant party.

~. B. Stack Writes Of The
 Lniquities of.the Dog Tax

If there is on man in Jefferson county that dearly loves his dog, that man is N. B. Stack, a realtor of Wylam. Mir. Stacks fancy runs to the Collie, and he has owned many prize winners of that breed. The recent increase in the dog license seems somewhat to have aroused his ire, particularly the requirement. that history of the day must be furnished the tax collector-and while he would give his last cent almost for his dog he seems to think that he is due re- bate of the present license on account of the many distinguishing characteristics of his dog Bruce" which he describes in the following letter sent to the city tax collector, with a check for the license enclosed. The letter follows:
 ITO the City Tax Collector:
 ''Ionored Sir: A few days ago I read in the daily papers that the city commits sioners had advanced the price of dog meat 100 per cent, and I have been striv- ing hard to discover the cause. So far, however, I haven't been able to discover whteher it is the old financial s or rank collusion with the meat trust of the Hot Dog union. But whatever the cause l am not person to haggle, even when handing over my last kopek So here's the money.
 COLLIE F. F. V.'S
 But the limit is reached when the cit izen-subject is commanded to send along with the coin a history of the dog and his near relations. That 'ukase is posi- tive proof that storm of mental aero battles is raging at the seat of govern ment, and personally, and for the good of the community, I hope the malady will be confined to the city hall.

courageous laughter on the stage, and he is liked well in London as herein fact, he has been admiringly called a national necessity" This latest pro- duction of "Hitchy- -Koo," has been staged by Ned Wayburn, Flo Zeigfelds S left bow CT in the arrangement of each years Zeigfeld's Follies. The lines and lyrics are by Glen MacDonough and the music by Raymond Hubbell. Some musical in- terpolated numbers are credited to Harold Orlob. The stage appointment and cos tunes are of exceptional charm and beauty.
 But, after all, Raymond Hitchcock is the great attraction. He is like no one else, and endowed with personality that never suggests the mechanism of fun-making. Besides he is resourceful in ways and means of causing laughter, and never runs into a pocket of sameness and dullness. One never leaves a Ray mond Hitchcock performance with Q feel ing of misspent time or money.

This was the day origi- nally set for the assembling of the con ference at Princes Islands, but while the day passed without a conference, hopes of holding the island meeting have not entirely been abandoned.
 The supreme council heard Winston Spencer Churchill, British secretary of war. today. Colonel Churchill proposed further means for the adjustment of the Russian situation.
