States and the allied governments
and because a strong Polish state
is to my mind an indispensable ne
cessity in Eastern Europe, but | re-
greet to see Poland using her new
won freedom in a manner which
must very quickly cost Poland her
standing among the civilized ma
tons in the world, and perhaps lead
to the disintegration Of her new re-
public.
I regret that I have to take issue
with the Polish Information Bureau
on this matter, but feel that my spe-
cial information puts responsible
ity on me to present the truth be-
fore the world SO that the horrible
conditions against which Americans
are protesting may be rectifed as
quickly as possible.

ITEM IN NEW YORK GLOBE
WRITTEN BY POLE ADJ
MITS POGROMS.

Jew, and Judging by his name,
Pole himself, appeared in the New
York Globe:
Information of Pogroms.
Editor Globe: I have just re-
turned from Paris, where spent
some months on a confidential mis-
sion for the United States Commit
tee on Public Information, and act
ed as counsel for the Lithuanian
commission to the Peace Confer
ence. In connection with my work
| was in constant contact with per-
sens who had been in Eastern Eur
ope very recently on special gov
ernmental functions. I was also
able to receive frst-hand informa-
ton through the special courier
service which the Lithuanian COM
mission maintained between Paris
and Lithuania.
From the frst-hand information
thus obtained I am able to and con-
slider it my duty to deny the state
lnent in the Globe of May q by the
Polish Information Bureau. The
points on which / take issue with
that bureau are the following:
l. The thirty-seven men whose
execution in Pinsk the Polish In
formation Bureau attempts to justi-
fly on the charge that they were
Bolsheviks, are now admitted by
Polish representatives in Paris to
have been exactly what they said
they were-leading Jewish citizens
who had met to consider ways and
means for the distribution of food
and relief funds to the stricken
Jews in Poland.
2. The stories published in the
American papers about Jewish mas
sacres in Poland have all been veri-
fed by eyewitnesses and are admit
ted by the best informed circles in
Paris to be unexaggeratedly accur-
ate.
3. Not only have the Poles COM
mitted outrages against the Jews in
their own country, but Polish
troops have also invaded Lithuania
on the pretext of fighting Bolshe-
vism, and have SO far confined them
selves almost exclusively to mas
sacres so horrible against Lithuani-
ans and Jews that the liberal opinion
of the world is once more raising
the query whether Poland is really
fit for self-government.

Alert Motorman Averted
Serious Accident on the
Fairyiew Line.

The vigilance of Ira Whiteman, mo-
torman OF the first car out OF Fairmont
to Fairview this morning, was all that
saved a large interurban car from
plunging down 20 foot embankment
at Paw Paw creek, near Rivesville.
early this morning.
During the night great section of
the roadbed had slipped away. leaving
the rails hanging in mid air several
feet above solid earth. The point
where the slip occurred is on. curve,
and at place where a high rate of
speed is usually maintained. Had not
Motorman Whiteman seen the slip. 1t
is more than likely that serious injur-
les would have been sustained by the
passengers and crew of the car.
An express car loaded with work
men, timbers, and other materials for
repairing the damage was soon on the
scene, and it was not until this after
noon that cars were able to pass the
point, Hundreds of persons from Bax-
ter, Grant Town and intermediate
points were forced to walk to Rves-
vile this morning to catch cars into

indictments against officials Of the

These indictments, he said, grew on,
of affidavits drawn by Frank ]. Ho-

to show that no stock brokerage trans
