VETS GET INTO FIGHT
Argument as to Who Is Best Fighter
to Be Settled by Magistrate

Patrick McAnnally. pimothy Ryan
and John Comedian are war veterans.
Last night, at Ridge avenue and Ferry
street. they started a free for all fight
to decide who was the greatest fighter.
Finally Patty the Boer,' as he is
known, grew weary as the struggle
went on between Ryan and Connellan.
Patty the Boer' decided to act as
referee.
The appearance of Patrolman Nc
Hale. of the Twenty second street and
Hunting Park avenue station, failed to
stop them.
LET 'em go. They've only got one
more round.' the referee shouted. But
McHale called for respect to his uni
form. and the three warriors walked
calmly to the police station with the
patrolman.
McAnnally, who is forty five years
old. and lives with Comedian at 4O3S
Ridge avenue, said he fought with the
Beers in South Africa. Ryan was with
the American forces in France. He
lives at 36S7 Stanton street. Connellan,
who is forty five, fought with the
English. They will be arraigned before
Magistrate Price.

BUILT UP POLISH INDUSTRIES
Russia's Expulsion Of Jews From Mos
COW Had Results Unforeseen by
Muscovite Statesmen.

An odd bit Of commercial history
comes to light with the granting Of
citizenship to Jews In Poland, and
shows how Russia, In expelling the
race from Moscow, provided Poland
with a human factor of great impor-
lance in developing her own industrial
resources, the Christian Science Mon
itor recalls. Politically Poland lay
helpless in the grip of her powerful
neighbor, resisting as best she might
that neighbours determination TO de-
stroy the last vestige Of Polish ma
tional existence. Industrially, on the
other hand, her coal and iron ore dis
tricts had developed Polish centers Of
manufacture superior to those Of Rus
sla, but dependent for succor on the
sale Of their products in Russian mar
kets. Jews came from Moscow who
were familiar with Russian trade con-
ditions, had already established per-
sonal trade relations with Russian cit
les, and were admirably fitted to de-
yelOp commercial program between
the two countries These men became
the natural Intermediates between
Poles and Russians in business, and
their expulsion from Russia is doubt
less one reason for the prosperity Of
Polish industries at LODI, Warsaw and
Petrokov.
