Russian Threat of
Winter Campaign
Against the Poles

Riga, Sept. 24-(By Inc ASSocl-
ated Press)-Adolf Joffe, head of the
Bolshevik peace mission which is
treating with the Poles. electrified a
dull session Of the peace conference
today when he presented to the
Poles the Russian governments arm
istice terms, which carried an ulti-
matum that Soviet Russia would in
augurate a winter campaign if an
armistice was not arranged within
ten days
The offer came as a complete sur
prise, the Polish counter proposals
to the Soviet terms offered at Minsk
being the order of the day. Conse-
quently the Polish delegation was
unable to make any response directly
to the unexpected terms, which NJ.
Joffe explained were framed at Mos
COW Thursday by the executive COM
mission of the government. He said
the Bolsheviki were not anxious to
prolong the war but were anxious to
know Immediately whether peace
was possible.
The Bolsheviki by their move are
considered to have gained a tactical
advantage by the sudden stroke.
which precluded procrastination and
makes the position of the Polish
delegates difficult. as they had ex-
pected a deliberate settlement of
peace preliminaries before armistice
terms.
Observers Of the conference declare
that the trip hammer methods Of the
Bolsheviki will force day and night
work on the part of the delegates if
they are to work out the preliminaries
Of peace before Oct. 5.
The brief terms upon which the So
Wet government proposes preliminary
negotiations looking to an armistice
within ten days follow:
THE Russian Soviet government,
taking cognizance of the declaration
of the Polish delegation Of the unac-
ceptability of their point Of view Of
the original terms of the Russo
Ukranian delegation concerning the
reduction in the numerical strength Of
the Polish army. concerning the de-
mobilization Of Polish war industries.
and the surrendering of arms and
concerning the railway from Volko-
visk -Graevo reverting to the Soviet
government, renounce these terms and
express readiness to approach the
allied Ukranian republic with the
same end in view.

thrift and protective tariff would
go a long ways to lower prices.
The speech was made to a gather
ing of West Virginians who cheered
the candidates thrusts at Democratic
rule and his pledges of reform. The
delegation came overland in a motor
party which filled more than three
hundred automobiles.
Contending that no specific remedy
could be invented now to lower the
cost of living, Senator Harding sug-
gested that much would be accom-
plished in that direction by a pro-
tective tariff policy. by refusal of the
public to pay excessive costs. by in
dividual thrift and by efficiency in
production.
THE land of the South" he con-
tinued, has discovered the very
great need Of that Republican policy
of protection to save it's peanut in
dustry And l am in favor of saving
it. West Virginia. naturally lis in
terested in that protection to save
the various industries of that state
and l am in favor of saving them
too
THE trouble is that the Democratic
administration devoted it's attention
to a dream across the seas, while the
Republican party is considering the
actuahties in the United States of
America he continued.
Il know that your thoughts are
dwelling on the fight against the cost
Of living. 1t would be easy to say
well bring it down but l wont
cheat my fellow Americans to win
their favor. l have asked hundreds
of men for some specific means to
lower living costs. and I have yet to
find one that with candor can sue
gest a specific remedy.
But I know something's that would
harmonic with lower costs. The
first step must come from your
selves. I make it a practice when
ever l find something that's too ex-
pensive to refuse to buy and that's
the one thing that every citizen can
do to help. Next comes increased
efficiency of production and the next
is thrift in everyday living. America
can afford to live high, but it must
live within it's means"
;. Tomorrow the senator will sneak
to a delegation Of several thousand
members of the Harding and Cool
idge Travelling Mems League who
will be brought here by more than
80 special trains. Local arrange
ments have been made for one of the
biggest days OF the front porch cam.

1t was revealed at Harding head
quarters tonight that although the

REDS BLAMELESS
SAYS HERMAN

Cincinnati. Sept. 24.-When 1t was
called to his attention today that
President Comisky of the Chicago
White Sox said that he had received
no aid from any member of the Ma
tional Baseball Commission in his in
vestigation of the Cincinnati White
Sox world series President August
Hermann of the Cincinnati baseball
club and. at the time of the 1919 Sc
ries, chairman of the National Com
mission. said:
Mr.. Comisky probably meant that
he did not receive any tangible re-
suits from investigation made by
members of the National Commission.
I know positively that President
johnson Of the American League
made an eager investigation. He
talked to me about it several times.
But proof is difficult to secure. There
was no need Of investigation by me as
the Reds were not involved. When
the truth is known, as I hope it will
be, the guilty men of baseball should
be banished from the game forever"
