Pivotal Point in Diplomatic
Deal, With Nations Split,
Belief.
FRENCH STOCK RISES
Gambled BY Backing Poles.
Prestige Increased With
Recent Victories.
(Washinston HeraId-Public Ledger
Service, Special Cable Dispatch.)

London, Sept 12.-Before sailing
for America, Colonel House made
the following statement to the Pub
lie Ledger foreign service:
"A great diplomatic deal is ap-
parently now going on in Europe
with Russia as the pivotal point.
The principals are France and Ger
many, with England undetermined
as to where her interests may ulu-
mately lead.
up to the defeat of the Soviet
armies in Poland. Germany un-
doubtedly was placing herself in
position where rapprochem
with the Lenine government would
become a natural and obvious thing
to democratic, imperialistic, or even
Bolshevist Russia. as the case might
be. She is even now ready to turn
in order that her political and eco
nomic resuscitation may sooner
come. No Europeans understand
Russia, her Cndi dStetisNiSo N
methods so well as the Germans.
Because of that and because OF
their proximity they have the ad-
vantage of their great antagonist
French Policy Wins.
"On the other hand. France has
pursued a steady and consistent
policy based upon the faith that
sooner or later the present regime
in Russia must give way, and that
a Russia friendly to France and
French interests will emerge. The
diplomatic prestige of France has
been enormously increased by the
recent Polish victories. France took
a great gamble, but won, and at no
time has her influence throughout
Europe been so dominant as now.
II France can bring about as inu-
mate an alliance with Russia as she
had before the war. she will have
succeeded in more or less isofating
Germany and in. defeating German
plans for a quick and powerful re-
crudescence. .a-.
Great Britain has not been in
sympathy with recent French diplo-
macy and the differences between
the two great allies have been
marked. At times they have been
near a breaking point. After VIC
tory had come te the Entente it was
not difficult to see that Great Britain
and France would grow farther
apart and that Germany and Great
Britain would come closer together.
France and England are traditional
enemies, while Germany and Eng
land are traditional friends.
War Causes Friction.
In losing the war Germany no
longer has points of friction with
Great Britain. In winning the war,

Ugly Ducking of Family Rescued
From, Basement Where She Spent
I6 Years Without Seeing Daylight

There she has remained ever
since A single window admitted a
slender shaft of light. the only a.
Elimination that she ever saw.
She has the physical proportions
of a child of six and the mentality
of a baby of two. In her lonesome
existence she has never learned to
talk. Because of the lack OF exer-
else and poor food her muscles are
practically useless.
The States attorney is making

Milan. Italy, Sept. I2.-By a vote
of 100000 to 100000 Italian labor
today decided against an immediate
revolution throughout Italy.
The vote wastaken at the session
of the Confederation of Labor here
after continuous debate for 16 hours
The mills. plants and factories
that have been seized by the metal
workers will be held. however, as
an experiment.
Metal Trades Hold Out.
The decision not to carry gut the
seizures throughout Italy also car
ried an order that all factories other
than those in. the metal trades be
turned back to the employers.
This, perhaps the greatest decision
dered against a background rich in
history. The session, at which
speakers advanced the most aggres-
sive of modern views that embraced
the tendencies of the workers all
over the world. was held in a great
room in a monastery that was
erected before Columbus discovered
America.
Lender Back from Russia.
For a time the decision seemed to
hang in the balance. The men OF
more radical tendencies pleaded fol-
a complete seizure. The most COM
manding voice in tho decision rem
dered was that of Signor Daragona
the labor leader who has decently
returned from Russia. He told the
delegates that he had come back
from Russia fully convinced that Boil
shevism cannot be made to flourish
on Italian soil and that the only
real danger revolution would
bring would be a danger to the
workers themselves.
: The government has remained
neutral Soldiers, however. are be-
ing rushed into the city. In the oc-
cupied metal plant the red fiags are
flying. The workmen do an S-houT
shift of work and then stand guard
for hours.

New Britain's quota is named at s300,00O. of which a large portion is expected to be covered by pledges and the rest obtained by the war method of canvassing.
 The loan to the Polish government is receiving the support of the finan- ciers of this country who see d great economic field in the eastern country which is now the barrier between az gressive Germany and the strife stricken Russia. Hundreds of thou sands of dollars are pouring in daily to the men at the head of the cam paign to float the loan and the ma tority Of this money is coming from Americans and others interested in finances in this countries.
 Prince Casimir Lubomiriski Polish minister to the United States, is doing his utmost to help in securing the loan. He urges people to contribute to if on the ground that the loan, amounting to $50. .oOO.O 900 is to be ap- piled entirely to purchase American goods, while both the interest and principal are payable in United States gold coin. He reports that the cam paign. while in its infancy, has re- ceived enthusiastic support of a char acter to surprise even those expecting success for the loan.
 Many Americans have c.l~cadv sub scribed to the loan. &Tince LuboA miriski thinks this I>spicts the spirit of the Poles themGlves who Eare a total of s3ss.eoyO0O for Liberty bonds and ".

GOLD AT SING SING
Vein of Yellow Metal, Believed to Be Precious Ore. Discovered Near Quarry Road.

Ossining. N. Y, June 21.-The Sing Sing Bulletin announced that gold or, at the worst, good looking vein of yellow metal, has been uncovered in the quarry across the road from the enclosure. Men of the honor gang made the discovery, and while there has been no rush of prospectors from the prison gate there is little doubt in the minds of the Bulletin s editors that the news will bring min- CTS in large numbers. Samples of the ore have been sent to a. metal lurgical laboratory for analysis.
 Concerning the discovery, the Bull letin reflects on the possibility of an'- other Yukon valley strike and recalls ancient prison traditions that say the construction of the cell block led to the discovery of both gold and iron. The minerals were found in paying quantities. but as the building of the prison and the quarrying of stone for the state capitol were more important nothing was done.

N. F.. A. Staff Corresponden

N. F.. A. Staff Correspondent. New York, June 1.-Investigation by the police into the many ramifi- cations or the mysterious murder of Joseph B. Elwell, international bridge expert and turfman, has revealed something Of the profits that bridge affords-if it is played successfully.
 Elwell. it is said, received royal ties Of about s7.Oo0 year from books he had written on bridge. He also earned about slS,O0 a year teaching bridge to society women.
 This was a small part of his in come, however. He often won as much as S1,0O0 to s20,o in an even ing, and on one occasion he is said to have made as much as S30,O00.
 Elwell lived up to his large earn ings. Indeed, it was necessary that he spend money lavishIy if he want ed to keep up with society and continue to meet at the bridge table persons who could afford to lose large sums.
 He had three summer homes, one at Newport. At Palm Beach he lived at the Everglades club. which num- bered among it's members such men as William K. Vanderbilt, Vincent Astor, George Gould and Clarence Mackey. He had two automobiles, Mercer and Cadillac. besides 65-foot yacht.
 Recently he had bought a home for his mother and father at Ridge wood, N. J., and settled on them enough money to make them com fortable for life.
