BARGAIN HUNTERS
 SMASH WINDOW

With crash that could be heard for several blocks along Main street the plate glass window of the Up-to- Date Waist Shop, 1155 Main street, gave way under the pressure of hun dreds of women bargain seekers this morning.
 Long before the hour scheduled for the fire sale throngs of women stood in the entrance and for over a block prevented the passage of pedestrians along that side of the street. So great was the pressure exerted that the half-!nch plate glass windows were smashed into bits. and only good luck prevented the injury of many by the seekers after the much advertise@ fire sale bargains in shirtwaists.
 For once the fat women were the envy of their slender sisters. Moth ing could remove them from the path of the others, and in their grim de termination to beat the others to it." The managers sent frantic appeals for aid, and it required the strenuous ef- forts of several patrolmen to restore order and 1t was found necessary to admit only 8 few at time to the store.

SUPREME COUNCIL TAKES UP RUSSIA'S
 CASE FOR ACTION

 held, for only a few moments and did not enter the council chamber, where the session today was an executive one. It Is understood that an official communique will be issued at the close of the meeting, at which 1t was expected that the exchange of infor- nation between the governments on the situation in Russia, forecast in one of last weeks communiques would take place.
 The council as 1t met today com prised ten members-two from each of the five great powers-President Wilson and Secretary of State Lans- ing representing the United States. The three additional members from each power did not attend, as full meetings of the membership of 25 are assembled only when subjects of especial importance are under con- sideration by the council.
 With a definite plan formed for erecti1l B a. structure upon which all nations can agree, about 25 working days remain of the time President Wilson has allotted to himself for work in France before leaving for home The question being asked is whether he can in this comparatively short time bring the nations together to. gether in an agreement for society of nations Many of the President closest advisers think he can do so.

PRESIDENT IS
 HONOR GUEST OF
 FRENCH SENATE
(continued From Page One.


 ideas Nowhere could your splendid ambition to substitute for the period ically broken equilibrium of material forces the definite award of moral forces elicit more enthusiasm than in France, and nowhere more than in the Senate since the statute of inter national peace has been first of all and for a long time prepared by some Of its most eminent members.
 Our national problem consists, therefore, in combining our European past and actual material security with the conditions of the new order for formula because this new order will never have to lean on some force for which France will, when all is told. stand the most advanced and ex- posed sentinel We firmly believe with you. MT. President, and allow me to add. sincere and great friend, that a new world order and perha ps l world harmony are possible. For this 100000 men of France have just given their lives.
 Tt is with such a hope that we shall most willingly participate in the sublime cause which you have come l to undertake on the devastated soil Of old Europe. where hatred and dis cord still howl after the guns have become silent and where anarchy | causes a vast part of mankind to stagger. The task Is gigantic one, | but 1t is worthy of your country, ac- | customed to great undertakings and of ours. the ancient artisan of west ern civilization. MT. President, we salute your great heart and your high intelligence with a joyful hope and a l fervent exclamation"
 President Wilson drove directly from the War Oftce, where he had been attending the meeting of the su- preme Council. to the Luxembourgh palace. where the luncheon took place. He was accompanied by Pre- nier Clemenceau.
 l President Poincare was one of the guests at the luncheon, as were ali the French Cabinet members, the members of the Senate, Paul Des- chanell the president of the Chamber of Deputies, and Marshal Foch.

LEAGUE MUST
 BE POSITIVE
Opinion of Major Waldorf Astor of Ford Minis
 try.

London, Sunday, Jan. 1s-(British wireless serUce)-If the League of Nations is to be a success, 1t must be positive as we'll as negative, according to a pamphlet issued today by Major Waldorf Astor. parliamentary secre- tary of the ministry of food. Co., operation between the nations, Major Astor says, will be of vital importance i in the period of reconstruction, dur ing which all belligerent nations, with the possible exception of the United States, must expect an economic crisis. 1 "Co-operation between nations be- fore the war was an exception" the pamphlet says. 'Tt has proved to be ! the cause of the Allied victory and {! must be the basis of permanent { peace. The League of Nations will not last long If It's functions are ex- erted solely through courts or trib- unals for the settlement of disputes After they have arisen 1t must make utmost use of every means of uniting nations for achieving common pur' poses and repelling common dangers.
 ''All the belligerent nations, with the possible exception of the United ! States. will now have to face an eco homie crisis caused by the general disturbance of markets, the uncer- tainty of prices and the breakdown of established governments over large part of Europe. The chances for in- ternational Quarrels in the turmoil of competitive trade will be greater than ever. It is important, therefore, that the League Of Nations be equipped i with machinery to secure the utmost
 cooperation between nations in fac. ing these common problems.
 Responsibility for repairing the ravages of war must fall upon the League of Nations. International la bor problems confront the league ] Even before the war, labor and capi- tai realized their interests were inter national. It will be of fundamental
 importance that, in re-starting indus
 try, the standards of living in civiliz ed countries shall not be rendered unstable by the competition of sweat
 ed and under paid labor. It vii
 probably be necessary to secure thi! by international agreements guaran' teed by the League of Nations"

BOLSKEvIk AT
 POLISH FRONTIER
Especially Ritter Against Poles-Want to Kill
 Them.

Warsaw, Saturday, Jan. 1S.---Boi- shevist troops have slackened their advance at the Polish frontier. The Germans are delaying their evacua- ton of Grodno for several days, all though General Falkenhayn has re- tired to Suwalki and General Hoff- man has gone to Koenigsberg.
 Polish leaders auege that Germans are selling arms to the Bolshevists under the pretense of aiding the 80 ciety for provisioning Ukraine" In Luthuania and Ukraine, the Bolshev- ists are issuing proclamations that they have come to retsore order. Des- patches state, however, that Bolstev- ist soldiers have been seen carrying banners inscribed with the words: Long live the Red Terror and Death to Non-Workers.
 Men have been arrested at Wilma
 and other places and have been re- , leased later, it is said, on payments of sums ranging from 50 to 50,000 ru-
 bles, the size of the ransom being in
 proportion to the terror of the victim ! and his power to pay. The Bolshev- iGts are especially bitter against the
 Poles, it being reported that the dec laration of a holy war against Poland by the Moscow government makes it right and duty of every Bolshevist to kill the Poles as enemies of man. kind" Fewer houses are burned than i formerly, but 1t Is charged that where houses are spared their in
 mates are slain.
 Miss Shebeko says that many we'll | bred women Tn Russia have commit I ted suicide through fear of outrage. i Many of those escaping from the | country are disguised in old clothes
 and hide the marks of refinement on ] their hands and faces with dirt.
