Stock Swinding Schemes.

James T. Cortelyou, Postoffice In
spector in charge of the district of

Brooklyn postoffice. in the same capa-
city, his merits soon won him promo
Ion to superintendent. In 1900 he was
advanced to postoffice inspector and on
June 16, 1916, was made postoffice in
spector in charge by appointment of
the late Theodore Roosevelt.
Chief Cortelyou has been RESPONSE
Bile for the unraveling of intricate
stock swindles in which millions or
dollars were involved, and the convic-
ton of hundreds of violators of the
postal laws. Among important
swindles cleverly broken up and the
culprits arrested was the notorious
Storey Cotton Company stock fraud
scheme in 1906, which involved nearly
$6.00O,OO0 and which resulted in six men
going to Jail. The International Lum-
ber and Development Company frauds
in 1912, the International Gas and
Electric Company and the frustrating
of daring attempt to rob the post
office at Pennsgrove, New Jersey, in

The enemy is naturally trying to

be that of supplies. The more the
negotiations are allowed to drag, the

POLAND CLAIMS
:. WEST PRUSSIA
Wants Territorial Boundary
Line to Run to Baltic
l. West of Danzig.

- The exact arguments placed before
the Peace Conference yesterday rela-
tive to the proposed changes IN
armistice terms by which the Polish
government would retain Jurisdiction
ever a large part of West Prussia
were made public yesterday in Wash
inEtOn.
The argument, which. it is under
stood has the endorsement of the
American delegation as well as the
support Of Gen. FoCh, is divided into
seven parts Summarized points
which Il is thought will win the ap-
proyal Of the conference to the
changes are:
Claims OF Poland.
West Prussia was part of Poland
before the. two partitions of the ter
ritory by her enemies late in the
eighteenth century.
The territory is Polish in nation
Itity except along the southwestern
border, therefore the latter territory
WtEht be left in Germany's posses
sion in exchange for districts in the
eastern extremity OF Pomerania, con-
troll Of these districts permitting the
Polish frontier line to be moved to
the west Of Danzig.
The economic condition of West
Prussia is at low ebb. but under
Polish control rapid commercial prog
frss can be made.
The sOuEht-for territory embra ces
the mouth OF the vistula River. des-
lined 10 be Poland's great highway
hn-thc sea.
Political Effect OF Changes.
The loss Of West Prussia to
Germany would reduce her coast
line on the Baltic and would remove
the danger Of her absolute and un-
disputed domination over that sea.
a consummatiOn not only prejudicial
20 the political independence of the
scandinavian countries but also IA
cilitatinC German commercial mo-
n"pOfy in Northern Russia.
Possession Of West Prussia will
guarantee POland's political indie
TendenCc Of Germany. Without West
Prussia, Poland would be surround
cd by German possessions to the
west and north; thus in time of
peace she would be entirely exposed
To German influence, while in time
OF war she would stand in danger
of being strates icalIy Outfianked.
Free All Polish People.
West Prussia has been misruICd
by Germany and the people should
be freed from the anti-PoIish laws
which have prevented all the peO-
PIE from an equal enjoyment of
life"
The foregoing statements were
compiled by the Polish leaders in
Paris and represent the chief ar
-uments presented for supporting
the claim that prompt action is
ueccSSary at this time in deciding
the fate OF West Prussia, if further
lighting is to be- avoided.

Washington. Last evening she said !:
The suffragists, with all the wom-
en- of America, have been obliged to
stand the shame and stigma of the
outrageous performances of the
members of the National woman's
party, the 1. w. WIS of the suffrage

to consider them misguided, but to-
days demonstration on the eve of
the calling up of the vote on the
Federal woman suffrage amendment
makes us question whether the mem

the success of the amendment or
publicity for their organiza ton.

This is not a party issue. Such
an insult TO the President of this
