Russian Situation
 Seems To Be Better
(By The Associated Press.)

Paris, Sept. 24.-The attempt by the bolsheviki to negotiate peace with Esthonia and Letvia and indications that the Poles and the forces of Gen. eral Denikine, the anti bolshevik leader in South Russia soon may es- tablish communication and co-ordin- ate their efforts in fighting the bol- sheviki in the Ukraine have revived interest in the Russian situation among the peace conference dele gates., 1+
 The refusal of the German gen. eral Won Der Golth to obey the or ders of the peace conference that he evacuate the Baltic provinces of Russia and Germany's declaration that she cannot be responsible for his movements, leaves the conference fol the moment in a helpless position as there is no disposition to ask the Poles who are already in engaged to expel Von Der Goltz and no other nation has forces available.
 Reports received from Kolchak by the Russian committee in Paris give hope that the anti-bolshevik leader in the Omsk region has greatly i'm proved his position on both lines o1 the trans-Siberian railway and thai his armies again are we'll organized and moving westward against the bolsheviki. Reports from the Deni kline forces are favorable.

PROFIT SHARING HELPS.

One of the reason why the steel strike has failed so far to be the bowling success that union leaders predicted it would be is that a largo number of the Carnegie and Bethle hem employees, as well as the em- ployes of other plants, are profit sharers. In more or less way they are members of the firm and the strike hurts them as much as it does the stockholders of the steel / com- panies for which they work.
 When the time came to choose be- tween a walkout and delay with a promise of reconsideration 0! workers demands these men chose the moderate course.
 Their action already has made the strike a partial failure.
 A man who has money in con cern will hesitate long while be. fore he will do anything that will bt harmful to that concern
 The profit-sharing plan is one that should commend itself to al employers of labor. It means { sacrifice on the part of the owners of corporation to let the workers il on the ground floor, but it also means loyalty and efficiency.

NEGLECTED ORSOVA.

The little island of Orsova tho, we never heard of it before, either) was neglected in the rebuilding of Europe which took place at the Paris peace conference. In what way it is not known. Perhaps Orsova didn't have anything that the big fellows wanted or perhaps there was something the matter with the color press that print eu the map the peace conference useo and Orsova was left out. At any rate when the international chess game was over, Orsova didn't belong to anyone. It's plight has just been discovered and Orsova has annexed herself to Rumania. It's too bad the Orsovans didn't raise howl sooner While the treaty was before the senate foreign relations committee the plight of Orsova would have made great ammunition for the republican senators. Johnson, Lodge and the rest of them could have used the sit. uation to great advantage.
 Fancy republican senator, in- weighing against Wilson and the league, and perorating something like this:
 And there's Orsova. What die they do, fellow citizens, with Orsova They did nothing. Democratic in efficiency resulted in the peace dele gates, listening as they did to the poisoned words of royal European blood, absolutely neglecting Orsova Orsova wasn't even on the map. The map must have been printed by 5 democratic job shop, on contract lei to it by democratic congressman despite lower bids by republican prin. ters. We demand an investigation If we don't get it, we won't be re sponsible for the acts of the people.
