ing proprietor of the Lynchburg News
and Advance morning and evening
papers respectively.

who was today appointed senator
from Virginia to fill the vacancy caus-
ed by the death of Senator Martin,
has been at the head of the treasury
since the resignation of William e.
McAdoo. Should he decide to take
the senate seat, his going will make
the sixth change in President Will

in 1913. The other members who left
were, respectively, Attorney General
McReynolds, Secretary Garrison, OF
the war department, Secretary Bryan

AMERICANS ARE IN DISTRESS IN ODESSA SECTION Red Cross Man Says Many Yankee Women Are In
 Need of Aid.

Warsaw, Oct. 2.-(By The Associated Press-)-Captain Leo F. Mcclure of T11lsa, Okla, of the Red Cross mis- s-zty=a to Poland found many Ameri- cans in distress in Odessa when he was sent to that city recently to bring out the wives and children of Polish army officers and men who had been left there when the troops withdrew last April.
 Many of the Americans. he says, were women whose husbands were in America and some were mothers of sons in the United States. The Amer ican civilians petitioned the Red Cross agents to report their condition to any nearby American consulate in the hope of obtaining immediate help. They had little money and were con- trying by uncertain means to keep body and soul together. Captain Me Guire brought to Poland much mail for their families in America.
 The troops of General Denikine. aid ed by British and French, had cap tured the city from the Bolshevtki when Captain Mcclure reached Odes- sa, but the people of the city were in various stages of misery.
 Though the Bolshevik batteries that had pounded the city from near by hills finally had been silenced. Odessa was still haunted by the ter TOT of the late BOlsheviki regime" writes Captain 3IeCuire. "Bands of anarchists were scattered throughout the town and their armies were only 13 miles distant. Revolution seemed to be fomenting and distracted throngs of miserable people were cIamoring for safety and escape from another period of terror.
 People who were very rich be- fore the Bolshevist occupation of the have concealed their treasures were selling jewels, furniture, linens and all sUperfluous belongings to obtain meagre ration of bread.
 The Polish women and children for whom we have come to this great Black Sea port were a bewildered and frightened lot who had managed to escape with their lives through the agOnizing time Of calumny, corrup- ton and terror. All told the same tale of cruelty. Before leaving the city the Bolsheviki had forced their un- happy Polish prisoners to give up to them more than 1000, 900 rou- bles. This left them utterly without funds.
 Fantastic prices for commodities made living conditions tnsuportable. The black bread cost 100 roubIes a pound, butter 13O roubIes. One chick en cost a thousand roubles and a glass of drinking water 2 roubles. Four kinds of money were current that of the Kerensky regime. the Bolshevist, Ukrainian and special Odessa rouble.

 For the last fifteen years he has worked in the Farist Steel company.

 Disease was prevalent. Typhus and cholera have long since work ed their deadly way among the enor- nous drifting population. Before the war Odessa had 600,O00 people; now it has more than 1900, 900.
 Tt was heartbrealing not to be able to rescue the thousands of Poles who had taken refuge in Odessa and were unable to leave. Their number is said to be 30,0O0. All were longing to return to their own country"

the Central Trades and Labor coun-
ell to place in the field as his op-
ponent next summer Howard. T..
Colvin, a former resident of Alex
andria, and now chief clerk in the
office of State Labor Commissioner
John Hirschberg.
1t was Mr.. Colvin himself, acting
on behalf of group of labor men,,
who sent to Representative Monta-
que challenge to meet in debate
in Richmond some advocate of
the Plumb plan Of railroad owner
ship. Mr.. Montague declined, say
ing that he could not afford to meet
any man whose responsibility ir: the
matter was not equal to his own.
This denial OF their wishes. coupled
with other grievances they hold
against. have led the labor unions
to vow his defeat in the next cam
paign.
But it will not be against Repre-
sentative Montague alone that the
unions will direct their forces. La
bor Commissioner Hirschberg, one
of the recognized leaders of TINS
class IN the state, is al avowed
candidate for. Mayor Of the city of
Richmond. with Thomas B. Morton,
president of the Richmond fedora
tion of railroad shop workers. as
much discussed candidate for the
same office. 1t is likewise the de-
termination of the unionists to have
in the field full ticket for ali city
Offices.
That the labor unions will put up
one of the stiffest political fights
thew have waged in many years Is
evidenced by the fact that members
have almost to man paid their
poll taxes, prerequisite for the
ballot. In practically every organ
ization in the city rule is in force
to penalize the man who cannot eX-
hibit the necessary tax receipts for
voting purposes. Ever since the
office of Treasurer Pace opened for
the payment of state taxes, long
lines. composed mostly of laborlng
men. have besieged the office
throughout the day. until Richmond
now has the largest number OF
qualified voters she has ever had in
her history.
The unions already have scored
one important political victory this
year in the election of George l..
Wilcox to the house of delegates.
