The signing of a peace treaty and
armistice by the Polish and soviet Rus
sian delegates at Riga, reported lit
tie prematurely last week, took place
on October Il. The armistice IVES to
become effective at midnight October
Is. Joffe, head of the soviet delega-
ton, described the peace as "a peace
without victory and without van
quished," and disinterested observers
at Riga agreed that that described 1t.
Hence it was predicted that the pact
would not be very pleasing to either
the Poles or the Russians.
A peculiar complication in the af-
fairs of that part Of Europe arose
through the seizure of wilma, the capt.
tai of Lithuania, by troops under the
command of General Zellgouski, who
resigned from the Polish army before
the occupation. His force is made up
of both Poles and LithuanianS. He
established a council of six In the city,
and that body is planning a provision
al government for central Lithuania
pending the question Of the self-deter-
mination of the inhabitants of that
district. The Polish government dis
avowed the occupation of Wilma by
Zellgoaski, the Lithuanians were said
to be mobilizing for the recapture of
the city, and it was reported that rep
resentatives of the League of Nations
might be asked to straighten out the
situation.

The various factions of the Italian
Socialist party, assembled in conven-
ton, have been having struggle for
control. The moderates appear to
have the whip hand and have refused
to let the party commit itself in favor
of soviet rule for Italy. The confer
ence voted solidarity with Russia but
the majority stood fast against the
Communists and made it plain they
wanted no repetition In Italy Of what
has happened to Russia. Their lead
ers declared the Russian difficulties
came from the rottenness Of the pres
ent regime and that the Bolshevik gov
eminent would be unable to transport
products to other countries even after
the blockade is lifted. Later In the
week Socialist leaders and those of
the General Confederation OF Labor
published a joint manifesto ordering
demonstrations in every town in Italy
to force the government to recognize
soviet Russia. They said a general
strike of rail workers had been ar
ranged.

urday. This was taken to mean that
the strike would go into effect on Mon
day. The operators offered a wage in
crease of one shilling day to start
with and later two shillings, the min
ers to guarantee a certain minimum
of production. The men had suspi-
cion that they were to be trieked into
doing more work, and rejected the Of
fer by vote of about five to one.
The miners strike, 1t was admitted,
would throw hundreds of thousands Of
workers in other industries out of en-
ployment and bring about a serious
crisis in the country's economic lire.
The iron and steel manufacturers in
the Yorkshire districts at once be-

lers--would be able to set up machin-
cry for mediation and at least delay

AS has been said before, the Rus
sian soviet government is now free to
devote all its strength to the crushing
of Baron Wrangel in south Russia.
But the baron is wasting no time, and
late dispatches from Constantinople
say his Dneiper river campaign Is maxi
ing excellent progress. He had just
captured two Bolshevik battalions, oc-
cupied two important towns and de-
stroyed a large munitions plant. The
report that Makno, the guerrilla lead
er, had deserted Wrangel IS confirmed,
but several Of his bands have been
routed. Semenoff, the Siberian anti
Bolshevik leader, has given his adher-
ence to Wrangel and asked orders from
him > -

forts elsewhere were collapsing. The
Armenian anu Georgian armies were

republics against the Bolshevik Turks,

and Turkey have made an agreement

want So a bushel and the cotton men
40 cents pound. Leading agricultur-
sl producers met In Washington, voiced
their griefs, talked of farmers strike
and adopted resolutions severely criti-
cizing government financial authori-
ties and calling on them for aid In
bringing about higher prices. Senator
E. D. Smith Of South Carolina urged
that the farmers curtail production
and withhold their crops from the mar
ket until prices were satisfactory. For
this he was criticized by Benjamin @.
Marsh, secretary of the Farmers Ma
tional council, who said
''We must guard against some of the
wild statements made here. There is
no panic. Let's get away from Boil
shevik statements.
81 was astounded when Senator
Smith suggested that the farmers
strike, for that's what it amounts to.
If am not mistaken, he voted for the
bill to make strikes by labor fell
ony. When senator's get up and say
they don't understand the federal re-
serve act, I think it is time we should
get a few farmers in the senate. The
farmers are not going to stop produc-
ing, but the farmers can call the DluH
of the federal reserve board"
DR.. w. J. Spillman, former chief OF
the board Of farm management OF the
Department of Agriculture, said 1T
is quite clear that the federal reserve
board and the secretary Of the treas
ury are using the authority placed in
their hands for the purpose Of ma
nipulating the market.
Next day w. P. G. Harding, COVER
nor of the federal reserve board, con-
ferred with the producers and under
took to pacify them. He urged them
to keep cool, and expressed the belief
there will be reaction from present
low prices. He told them he favored
putting their crops on the market grad
ually. He warned against any attempt
to withhold commodities, and point
ed to the recent financial panic in
japan and the present Cuban suga
situation as examples Of what m1gn
follow efforts to boost prices to art
fetal heights.
