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 rubles?
 The program for Poland as We see it is: first-the division of land. to be paid for at pre-war values: second the taking over of the mines by the government for an equitable consid- eratiOn, and third-state ownership of public utilities. such as electric plants, waterworks. railroads, slaughter houses, locomotive works and bak- cries.
 The program does not provide for state control of all industries, as has been said. for state work is less effic- tent than private initiative, though the railroads in Austria, while costing the government more to operate. were more efficient than under private operation.
 "Poland's difficulties come partly from the fact that we have been un- der three different rules, Austrian, German and Russian. We have three kinds of money in circulation and have suffered double military occupa- tiOn."

 The present system of govern ment is creating general stagnation and the misery in which the majority of the populace is living has fostered dissatisfaction and desperation, which are gradually spreading and which need only a spark to break out into flames. On all sides it is hoped that the entente will be able to find means to supply Petrograd and save the population from starva- ton.

TAFT GIVES PLAN FOR PEACE LEAGUE
ORy Review Lensed Mirel.

OMAHA, Neb., Jan. ?. Former President William Howard Taft, speaking before the Omaha club to- night, at a banquet in his honor, de- fined his conception of a league of nations, its method of formation and its working practicability in the light of the probable action of the Versailles conference, President Wil- sons visit to Europe was lauded with out reservation.
 MT. Taft said Wilson had won a warm place in the hearts of the people of Italy, France and Great Britain, and that the visit was to these people an assurance that the United States will abide by its promise, after defeating the kaiser, to make the world safe for democracy by its en- trance into a league of nations to en- force peace.
 The opponents of the league. whom he did not mention by name, he con demned in no uncertain terms.
 What I particularly object to is the flouting of the idea of 8 league of nations by those who pick one de- feet and would cast aside the whole plan" he said.
 Mir Taft summarized his idea of a league of nations in four points:
 A court or tribunal to decide on justiciable issues.
 A commission of conciliation to continue the work of making peace until the world becomes settled in the leaRue of nations
 A combined police force. the ex- istence of which would be sufficient to cause obedience to the tribunals and the commissions decisions.
 A congress of nations to codify in. ternationdl law and make from time to time such notifications as new conditions would make necessary.

CHARLES Q. ELLIS, DOUGLAS BANKER, CLAIMED BY DEATH
Pioneer Resident and Well Known Financier Succumbs Suddenly to Attack of h. digestion

Charles Oakman Ellis, 45 years old, Vice-p president of the Bank of Douglas, former mayor of the city, and one of the best known citizens of Arizona, dropped dead at his home, 933 D ave nue at 2:45 o'clock yesterday after noon. Death resulted from acute indi- gestion, following an illness of less than one hour
 His death came as a shock to his friends and family. Recently he had been in excellent health, and during the past month had gotten plenty of outdoor exercise on several hunting trips. An illness of several months ago had been entirely overcome.
 When he arose yesterday morning he complained of indigestion. Mrs Ellis telephoned the bank that he would remain at home for the day. He did not become seriously i'll until after the noon hour, when he complained that he felt much worse. Pressure of gas on the heart finally caused him to collapse. He died almost immedi- ately.
 Charles O. Ellis came to Douglas from Prescott in 1902, when the bor- der city was still in it's infancy His first undertaking was the organiza- tion and launching of the Bank of Douglas, to which he was elected cashier He has been with the insti- tuition since that date, and more than one year ago was made Vice-president.

Rear Admiral Taylor Declares to House Naval Committee Ten Vessels in 1916 Pro- gram Cost Large Increase
Believes End of Hostilities Will Not Result in Quick Reduction of Costs; Cites Examples of Loss
OBy Review Leased wlrel

WASHINGTON. Jan. War condi- uons have brought about an enormous increase in the cost of building war ships, Rear Admiral Taylor. chief or the bureau of construction and re- pair, told the house naval committee today in discussing the 1920 naval appropriation bill. He estimated that the hulls and machinery of the ten battleships and battle cruisers author lzed in 1916 would cost nearly S15O.- OOO.OOO more than estimated-an in- crease of almost 50 per cent.
 Admiral Taylor said he did not think 1t was likely that the end of hostilities would result in any speedy reduction in costs. After the civil war. he said, there was no appreciabIe lowering of costs of laDor and ma terials within three years.
 Company Loses Large Sum.
 The battleship Mississippi Ia new ship delivered last year. was built on contract for $7.1I5,eOO." the ad- miral said. but the company which built it lost a large sum of money and when bids on the battleships Cal ifornia and Tennessee were asked Tor, no contractor submitted a bid under the estimated cost of $7.SOO. .OOO The government then decided to build them in its own navy yards and the cost will amount to probably SI1. .25O.- 900 each, an increase of 43 per cent over the estimated cost.
 The same increase will apply prob ably to capital ships authorized in the 1916 three-year program. For the ten battleships and six battle cruisers provided in this program. imagine the increase will amount to nearly $50 100000. This applies to the huIls and machinery alone. would not venture to say how much the increase will be for the armor and armament. but l will make inquiries and let the know"
 All Costs Increase.
 Admiral Taylor said the cost of con- structing merchant ships has in- creased from S75 to s2OO a ton. while he cost of battleships has increased ess than 50 per cent This has been he said. by exercising he greatest economy possible in the government navy yards and by close
