who have been along the Kolchak
front, the bolsheviks can buy enough

These tactics fail to win the
fighters OF the aggressive Padercw-

Reds, who would eagerly confisCate
food from Poland for their fighting

Poland's new port is one OF the
most distinctive cities in sll Germany.

When the food first arrived the
Americans employed Germans to Un-

The American Legion-which is

CAUSE OF TRAGEDY


Officials say that Branch was in
sanely jealous over his wife and an
gered over her actions in leaving him

1t is alleged that Mrs. Branch and
Burton stole about $50 belonging to
Branch and departed from the city.
An affidavit was issued for their ar
rest and they were later apprehend-
ed at Richmond, Ind, and brought
back to Mt. Vernon by Deputy Sher-
..,iifaLytle.
Branch followed the couple to
! Richmond and found the two in that
xcity, it is alleged.

Chopin was born in Poland Of
french parents, but received part of
his education in Germany. The in
fiuence of The three natiOnalities af-
feet his personality to an extent that
is very remarkable. He has. in short,
appropriated the best characteristics
of each; Poland has beQueathed to
him chivalrous tendencies, her histor-
deal sorrows; France, her delicate
grace. her charm; Germany, her pro-
found romanticism. For the
rest, nature has given him a
noble heart, and genius. Yes, genius,
in the full acceptation of the term,
must be allowed to Chopin. He is not
virtuoso only, he is also a poet, he
can make us apprehend the poetry
which lives in his heart, he is stone

that which he bestows upon us when
he sits down at the piano and impro-
yises Then he is neither Polish, nor

ton, Inman expressed willingness
to oppose any or all of four leading
rivals on the terms of this handicap
basis for f2O0 side.
Claude Falkiner, who is advancing
rapidly to the front in English bill
lard circles, is among Inman's fore
most rivals. G. A. Heginbotham Of
Ashton-under-Lynne, Lancashire, has
stepped forward with a challenge to
support Faulkner for any sum up to
$500 a side in match on the scale
proposed by the champion, Inman to
play $4,000 against Falkiner's $500.
Heginbotham is prominent amateur
cueist, and an ardent advocate Of
the billiard sport. In his younger
days at Oxford he won the Varsity
cue. More recently he has attracted
favorable attention as q runner-up in
the amateur championships. He has
q break of ia balls, which stood as
record for an amateur for a con-
siderable time. .r't-
Thomas Newman of North London
Is another player eager to oppose In
man. Newman has been tentatively
allotted handicap of 1900 points
on the champion, and 1t is generally
felt that, under this arrangement,
Newman is being accorded generous
treatment. Thomas Reece has al
ready accepted Inman's offer to con-
cede him, with Stevenson, handicap
of 1000 points. Stevenson, however,
has not definitely decided.
