The democrats in congress are eager

ority refuses TO act or permit action,
fritters away the time with irrelev-
ant political matters to the discour-
agement and disgust Of the country.
Nothing has been done for the re-
turned soldiers except what has been
worked out and accomplished by the
departments OF the government I'M
der a democratic administration, for
which the republicans can in no way
claim credit

cent Of the forces of the war depart

is a probability that it Will expire

dicatiug that the communistic move
meut is rapidly gaining strength
amCng the wage earners Of Poland.
Lack OF employment and shortage of
