VIlna's Fate Tremhles


 WARSAW, Tuesday, Dec. 31.-By the Associated Press. )-The fate of the province of Wilma, in Lithuania, is trembling in the balance. Bolshevik agents are spreading their propaganda throughout the province, the north- eastern part of which is under soviet rule. Bands of robbers and tramps, advance guards of the bolsheviki reg ular troops, and refugees are coming into Wilma The Germans, apparently are making no effort to restore order in the city, although they have 5,009 troops there.
 A Polish committee called upon Colonel Werner, in command of the German troops, and requested arms for Poles and others so that they might defend the city against the bolsheviki. Colonel Werner replied:
 Berlin has given us orders to the contrary. We won't be monkey to draw the chestnuts out of the fire for the English. ] am sorry for your wives, daughters and children, but this coun- try must be destroyed"
 The Poles have organized the young men for the defense of the city. The correspondent has seen copy of the letters which have passed between the Polish committee and the Germans te- garding the defense of Wilma. The Germans declare categorically that they intend to turn over the city to the soviets, and also refuse to permit the Poles to receive arms. Conferences have been carried on between Captain Boblainsky of the Polish army and the German delegate. Major von Shoeder, and two other delegates, representing the soldiers. all from the tenth army, under Von Fal- kenhhYn

 When the Serbian army retired" said Captain Perunovich, the only salvation of those who remained be- hind was the American Red Cross. The Red Cross established stations and kitchens in almost every Serbian town and saved thousands from starvation. Women and children were cared for and protected as much as possible
 When the United States entered the war, however, the Red Cross workers in Serbia were seized by the Austrians and Germans, Captain Perunovich said, and many of them were badly treated.
 "The AmeRican Red Cross did such big things in Serbia declared the captain, that the Serbians hail it as saviour. The little nation feels a tre- mendous appreciation for Americas sympathy sfiown it."
 Hope is in America
 Since coming to America, Captain Perunovich said, letters he has re- ceived from Serbian officers, including the minister of war, tell of the mag nificent reception given American civilians and soldiers throughout Ser bia, now that the country has been | reclaimed. The appearance of one American in any Serbian community | calls forth a demonstration.
 l NOW that the war is over" said Captain Perunovich, all across the sea think that America will bring ! about an eternal pesce.'

SHONTS INCLUDES ANOTHER

NEW YORK, Jan. 2.--Theodore P. Shonts. president of the interhorough Rapid Transit company, who addressed a letter to the municipal authorities yesterday announcing that the corpor- alton faces bankruptcy unless it is per mitted to charge higher fares, followed it up tonight with an appeal for the New York Railways company, I sub- sidiary.

legged strategical reasons at Dorgor, Arabia. Turkish authorities in Con- stantinople thought the number was too high, and gave orders that SO,O0O of the Arnenians be put out of the way.
 In the Mush valley, the correspond ent adds, the Kurds robbed 1000 Ar menian women. Later, suspecting that the women had swallowed fheir jewels. the Kurds killed them in horrible manner and burned their bodies. The next day, the correspondent continues, these monsters quietly sifted the ashes, seeking the jewels"
 The correspondent reports that in the same region. 1000 children, be- tween three and ten years of age, died of starvation, and 100 women were buried alive in trenches which the Turks first forced them to dig.

This belief was strengthened today by the arrival of two New York detectives, who immediately began an investigation on behalf of theauthori- ties of that city. The first thing they did was to take a look at Edward Moore, who is held without bail for a further hearing in connection with the bomb explosions.
 Moore is said to have acted as sec retary, years ago. for William Hay wood. leader of the Industrial Workers of the World, now serving a prison sentence in the west. Moore is well known to the police as a radical.

WARSAW, Tuesday, Dec. 31.-By the Associated Press. .)-"There is bol- shevism among the rich as well as among the poor,' said Andreas Morasc- zewski, the Polish premier, to the As sociated Press. The premier is member of the Austrian parliament and one of the most prominent tigures in the present government. He is the son Of coal miner, but highly edu- cated student of government, an ideal socialist whose honesty is unques- tioned. even by the opposition.
 The social contracts are everywhere too great" he said. We have 100000 workmen unemployed here-no clothes and no food for their families. l am socialist, but. above all, I am Polish.

 T am working for a greater and better Poland. I have never liked the German socialists, who persecuted the Polish socialists in Silesia, even before the war. I do not believe that bol- shevism is an internal danger, but there is great danger in lack of en- ployment
 Names Polish Program
 Poland is caught between two fires Russia and Germany. What is worse in bolshevism than the act of the Ger man army in selling the city of Minsk for 10000 roubles?
 The program for Poland, as we see 1t, is: First, the division of the land, to be paid for at pre-war values: sec ond, the taking over of the mines by the government for an equable consid- eration; and, third, state ownership of public utilities, such as electric plants, water works, railroads, slaughter houses, locomotive works and bakeries.
 "The program does not provide for state control of all industries, as has been said, for state work is less effi- cient than private initiative, though the railways in Austria, while costing the government more to operate, were more efficient than under private oper- alton.
 "Poland's difficulties come partly from the fact that we have been under three different rules, Austrian, German and Russian. We have three different kinds of money in circulation and have suffered double military occupation. ?

SEEK STATE TO
OPEN ACTIVITY
Democratic Leaders to Press De-
mands That Construction
Work Be Resumed.

Springfield, Ill, Feb. 24.-With
the legislative session this week
broken into by the primary cleo
ton tomorrow, Speaker Shanahan
is hopeful that enough members
will pledge themselves to remain
over for a session Friday morning.
The attempt to have a Friday SEES
sion last week failed, the lower
branch having shown a disposition
to balk at the speakers suggestion
that another day be added to the
legislative week.
Representative John P. Devine.
Democrat, of Dixon declares Fri
day sessions are not worth while
without a general agreement to be
present Last week he threatened
to bring up the question Of a
quorum every Friday.
Speaker Shanahan criticized
practices of former legislatures.
Again and again." he declared, "I
have seen members of this house
hold up their hands and swear that
they would be on hand the next
morning, and five minutes later
these same men went to the cloak
rooms, got their satchels and took
the train for home"
Far less than the usual number
of bills have made their appear
ance in the general assembly. Up
to the present 218 measures have
been introduced in the house and
15S in the senate. While a large
number remain to come in, the roll
call for Introduction of bills was
permanently dispensed with last
week
Democratic leaders are planning
this week to press their demands
for immediate construction work
by the state on roads, The water
way and other building projects
Minority Leader Michel Igoe
served verbal notice on Speaker
Shanahan that unless his resolu-
ton calling for an investigation of
the construction delay and for a
statement Of the amount of money
in the state treasury for big state
improvements was given a fair
deal" the Democrats would t.hoId
up every emergency appropriation
introduced by the Republicans"

FEDERAL WORKERS
SALARY INCREASE
rs $24O PER ANNUM

Government employees through
out the country will receive a SAL
airy increase of $240 for the next
fiscal year, under section 6 of the
legislative, executive and judicial
appropriation bill, which has now
passed the senate. AS the house
passed the bill some weeks ago,
carrying this provision, the $240 in
crease will not be subject to differ
ence of opinion on the part of the
conferees, and will unquestionably
become law.
The $240 was obtained in the
house as a compromise between the
report of the house appropriations
committee. which allowed only $120
and the 1850 which was asked by
the national federation of federal
employees. In the senate an amend
ment was offered by Senator
France of Maryland, on behalf of
the national federation, raising the
$240 to $3.50, but a point of order
was made against this amendment
by Senator Underwood of Alabama,
who was in charge of the bill for
the senate appropriations commit
tee and the amendment therefore
did not reach a vote.
