country now is under consideration.
All phases OF the critical situa-
ton which has developed in Europe
as a result of the Soviet victories
over the Poles have been laid before
rhe President. Tho President is
watching the 3ituation with intense
interest, and may be expected to de-
termine upon a policy to be pursued
within a day or two.
The question OF neutrality is GER
tain to arise in the event the ad-
ministration determines upon affirm
etive steps in Poland's relief.
Expedition Cited.
1t is held by some that an act of
Congress would be necessary before
President Wilson could take any
steps which might be interpreted as
an act of war.
The attitude in administration cir
Cles is that the United States once
before sent an expedition to Russia,
che plain inference being that the
President, under the war powers he
still possesses. could even join with
Great Britain and France in sending
troops to the aid of Poland, should
such policy be determined upon.
The real thought underlying the
administrations view of the Polish
situation, as we'll as that of the
allies. is whether the Soviet forces
are to be stopped now or whether
the fight is to be made further west.
And the inclination plainly Is to
stop them now, regardless of the
question of neutrality.
Cabinet Fall Verified.
Press dispatches reporting the
fall OF, the Grabski cabinet were
confirmed in an Official cable re-
ceived at the Polish Legation yes
terday. The message stated thai
Premier Grabski was supplanted by
p. Wistos. Socialist leader of the
Peasant Popular party. and Joseph
Daszynski. another prominent So
cialist leader. was named as vice
premier"
The first act of the new govern
ment, the cable continued, was to
make overtures for peace with the
Soviet forces. The plan provided
for an armistice and halting of the
Soviet advance pending negotia-
uons for permanent peace.

BUBBLE BURSTS

something like 1000 yen In his

life of small shopkeeper at
Shiuoka. Times were good, the

little shop prospered and Kakuhara
salted away something over 1,00O
yen. He had heard stories Of the
vast fortunes being made over night
in Tokyo. He decided to test his
luck.
1t was in the latter half of March
that he made his appearance In the
rice section Of the Tokyo Rice and
Produce Exchange. He started as q
bull: he, bought rice. The succeed

"A in England described the measures taken by

The phrase is fair commentary on the whole

No fundamental questions appear to be involved

probable that the British Government will recover
its composure and permit the Australian prelate to

to say.

1t was on August IL, 1907, I, at
the Clermont, 1873 feet long, with
two clumsy looking paddle wheels
and a very tall smokestack, called
by the sarcastic crowd, "Fulton's
Folly" started on the trip to AL
bany, which she made in thirty-two
hours, returning in thirty hours.
Robert Fulton was not the first
one TO build a steamboat. One had
been operated in Europe as early az
1543. George Washington saw John
Fitch in one, on the Potomac, in
1886, and later this novelty was pro-
PEELED around the Collect Pond, in
New York City, with Fitch and
Robert r, Livingston as passen-
gers.
The paddle-wheel steamer Phoenix,
owned by Col. John Stevens,
noted New Yorker though native Of
New Jersey, was the first vessel to
navigate the ocean by steam; and
his boat, Juliana, the first steam
ferry in the world, plying between
New York and Hoboken, as part OF
Stevens express service to Phila-
delphia." In 1912 he made the first
experiments with artillery, TO be
used against iron armor. The Sa-
vannah, the first OF the Atlantic
liners, built in 1919, was owned by
Col. Stevens.
At 161st Street, Just east OF ST.
Nicholas Avenue, is a picturesque
colonial mansion that was erected
in 1853 by Roger Morris, husband of
Mary Philipse, highly educated and
very beautiful. who had previously
declined a proposal OF marriage
from George Washington. Morris
became royalist, and in 1876 his
estate was forfeited. In 1910 1t be-
came the property OF the wealthy
Fronohman, stephen Jumel.
The Morris House, later the Jumel
Mansion. was used by Washington
az his headquarters in I776, and
later tho IIcssian general, Knyp-
hausen, occupied II. There Is a fine

THE NOTE ON RUSSIA.

THERE can be no question that the Presidents
statement Of this Nations attitude toward the
Russan-Polish situation could and would have been
more far-reaching one If the United States were
to-day, as II ought to be, a member Of the League
OF Nations.
If the American note on the Russian problem is
IN the main the expression Of power forced to
recognize the indefinteness and uncertainty of its
own relations with the Allied nations of Europe,
the responsibility rests with the Republican cabal
that has kept the United States out of peace.
In defining the attitude Of the United States Gov
emment toward Russia, the President falls back on
the consistent policy of dissociating the Russian
people from the present Soviet Government just
as he ASSOCIATED the German people from Prus-
sian militarstic Government gone mad.
That the Lenine- -Trotzky regime is government
in Russia as distinguished from a government of
Russia is attested by the fact that although nearly
two years and half have passed since they (the
present rulers in RusSia) seized the machinery OF
government promising TO protect the Constituent
Assembly against alleged conspiracies against it,
they have not yet permitted anything in the nature
OF popular election"
The impossibility Of recognition for the present
regime in Russia from stable government like
that of the United States the American note makes
clear in pointing out that 'the responsible spokes-
men of this Soviet power, and its Official agencies
have declared that it is their understanding that te
very existence of Bolshevsm in Russia, the main
tenance of their own rule, depends and must con.
tnue to depend, upon the occurrence Of revolutions
United States, which will overthrow and destroy
their Governments and set up Bolshevist rule in their
stead.'
They have made IL quite plain that they
intend to every means, including of
course diplomatic agencies, to promote such ,
revolutionary movements in other oOun-
tries"
No friendly relations with Bolshevst Govern
ments nsSence upon Polands political independ-
ence and territorial integrity without Polish aggres.
sion and the maintenance of the boundaries of the
former Russian Empire in the hope that the Russian
people will presently reject Soviet tyranny ant
establish government worthy of them.
Such is the sum and substance of the American
attitude.
If it cuts no deeper into the problem, look fo
the chief reason in Americas present international

THE TWISTED CANDIDATE.


IT HE Republican campaign badly needs master
1 hand to give it at least semblance Of unified
intelligence and purpose.
Anything more piiful than the doubt and dis
agreement into which the Republican camp has been
thrown by the Straightforward declarations of Gov.
Cox's acceptance speech has rarely been seen in
political history
Moulders of Republican thought cannot even
yet agree how they shall pretend to interpret the
words of the Democratic candidate
Republican newspapers, like the New York
Tribune and the Sun and New York Herald, have
Numerically contradcted one another as 10 whether
Gov. Cox did or did not declare himself unequivo-
cay regarding the League of Nations
After what is described as "long interview"
with Senator Harding in Marion, O., James B.
Reynolds, former Secretary of the Republican Ma
tional Committee prepared a statemed which was
evidently designed TO set cropping Republican editors
and spokesmen on path that does not telescope
itself at the outset.
"The public now understands" declared Mr..
Reynolds, "that Gov. Cox has accepted the sponsor
ship for the entire category of the Wilson policies"
This may be hailed as strong hint from Harding
headquarters as to how Harding supporters must
take Gov Cox's attitude if the Republican CAM
paign is to be saved from worse snarl of contra
diction and cross purpose.
The weakness of the Republican position is, how
ever inherent
That weakness will persist and grow worse be-
cause il has its origin in underlying dishonesty and
evasion.
The Republican candidate has tried to carry out
Republican partisan policy by turning his back on
the League sufficiently to satisfy the rabidy anti
Wilson element who would rather have world
turmoil than Wilson peace
At the same time, he has not dared to turn his
back on the purposes of the League so completely
as to ALLEVIATE once and for all Republicans like Mr..
Taft who honestly desire to see the United States
in the League.
These painful turningS have left the Republican
candidate facing sideways in position which puts
him at marked disadvantage with Gov. Cox, who
faces squarely to the front.
Such is the plight into which Republican leader
ship has led the Republican Party by making the
League the chief issue on which to campaign for
Democratic defeat.
Republican managers must try to keep partisan
policy so cevery masked with patriotism that patr
oHc Republicans will not be Mortified by a, glimpse
under the edges,
Republican zeal must be taught TO see only trutt
and straighhorwardness in twisted candidate
No promising job.
