LENINE BOASTS
OF RED VICTORY
Seeks to Rally All Russians,
Promising Poland's
Destruction.

Cwashington Heraid-Public Ledger
Service. Special Cable Dispatch)
Geneva. May 23.-A message from
Nikolai Lenine received in Bolshe-
visit circles in Switzerland exhorts
his followers not to lose heart on
account OF Polish victories and to
look with confidence to the future.
Lenine tells his friends that a great
Red cosnter offensive will sweep
the Poles out of Ukraine" He says
the ultimate success of Bolshevist
armies is assured and predicts the
absolute collapse and disintegration
of Poland.
Lenine's attempt to rallyy all the
Russian parties and even Russian
monarchists in a national campaign
under the Red flag against Poland
is not succeeding.
The truth is that most Russian
patriots are inclined for the time be-
ing to regard the Poles as a lesser
evil than the Bolshevists and would
like to see the Polish armies take
Moscow.
General Wrangel. Denikins sue
cessor, rules the Crimea with an
iron hand. He has executed or de-
ported thousands of profiteers and
spectators and has eliminated all
politicians from his administration.

WINTER WHEAT CROP
REPORT SHOWS SLUMP

Reduction Of more than 250,000,-
900 bushels in the winter wheat
yield is estimated by the committee
on statistics of the United States
Chamber of Commerce. The report
of the committee estimates the
total yield will be 500,o00,000, and
says that the unfavorable weather
and 20 per cent reduction in acre
age are the chief causes.
Scarcity of farm labor and nat
ural disinclination of the farmer to
commit his land too largely to a
crop the price of which he expected
to decline when the government
guarantee was removed, also con-
tributed to the shortage, 1t is said.
