Poles Using the Bayonet.
my Associated Prcss.l


WARSAW. August 12.-The Poles
have launched COMMUNICATIVE with
bayonets in the region Of Pultusk,
where the Russians have been striy-
ing to break the Polish defensive,
lines. Pultusk is thirty-one miles
north of Warsaw.
Hundreds OF conveyances of all de-
scriptions loaded with barbed wire
and driven by boys and old men, are
streaming through the Polish capital
toward the battle front. Mingled
with them along the roads are end-
less trains Of supply wagons which
are guarded by elderly civilians
armed with rifles.
All ablebodied men are being re-
iieved from other duties so that they
may be made available in the fight
for the defense of Warsaw.
Women Soldiers Active.
Women soldiers are hurrying from
place to place. acting as couriers, and
French military mission officers are
showing extreme activity. racing
around the city in automobiles.
AS the lighting front draws nearer
Warsaw squads of citizens. wearing
their originally civilian clothing and
straw hats, but armed with rifles.
are drilling in many parts of the city.
AS the misunderstanding groups
pass through the streets many boys
in knickerbockers, elderly men and
weli-to-do merchants arc to be seen
side by side with the moro usual type
OF fighter in the ranks. Glass distinc-
tions are being forgotten or brushed
aside
Newspaper accounts Of the prepa-
rations declare that the spirit OF the
people Is to defend Warsaw, repel
the invader and not to count the cost
in blood.
The government, while 1t will not
concedc that date has been set for
tho evacuation OF the city. Is gradu-
ally moving away the important state
documents, the packing OF which be-
gan several days ago.

been travelling through Germany for.
some time, gathering material. .,
THE. most competent persons,
speaking for the allies he continues;
''affirm that Germany is materially
within a goodly number of years" ID
Disarmament, so far as artillery is 4
concerned, he says, is proceeding sat-is
isfactorily. THE number of cannon
delivered is in the neighborhood Of
5000, and about six-sevenths now

surrendered enough rifles (hardly e.

Dismalitling Of the German navy by.
the British also is in progress, land

M. Herbette, '.the prestige of the
military has fallen unbelievably low
beyond the Rhine" Organizations Of
former officers, he says are being
formed constantly, and Germans, IL
they wished war. would find officers
to lead them. but. except in Bavaria
and possibly East Prussia, these as
sociations' are isolated and growing
rusty 10
To Illustrate how the military
spirit persists, he tells Of q, young
lieutenant he knows who puts on his

pear In uniform In public,
THE masses OF workers" he adds,
suffered too greatly during the war,
either at the front or by the priva- .
tions behind the lines, not to detest
the military regime. which. in res
turn for all. their sacrifices. brought
only a disaster without parallel. One
can say without exaGgeration, that
the population II the Industrial -re-s
gions is, profoundly anti-militarist.
Has Neither. Material Nor Morale. .,
Germany has. then, neither the:
material nor, the morale required for
q vast Offensive. She could only un-,.
dertake upon occasion small military. I.
operations upon her eastern and =

World Question Which 3:
Remains UnsoIved.
POWERS FAIL TO AGREE
Uncertainty Exists as to League.
Commissions Which Deal /,

BY Cable to The Star and Chicago Dahy NeWa.
Copyright. 1920.
GENEVA, Switzerland, December 2.
One of the world problems which
remain unsolved is the disposition OF
the former colonies and disconnected
territories OF Germany and her allies,
The treaty of Versailles provided
that the enemy nations should dis.
avow ownership. that the supreme
council should divide them among cer--
tain powers and that then the entire
question should be submitted to the
league Of nations. for approval and
limited mandate operation.
Receives No Reply.
Though the general secretary OF the
league has written three times to the
supreme council or it's SUCCESSORS, the
council of ambassadors and the coun-
Gil of prime minister's he has as yet
received no reply. because the manda-
tory powers are unable to agree
among themselves
For example, Japan and Australia
cannot agree to have the southern Pa
cihc islands reserved to white people.
Japan claiming that in such a case
her position would be worse than II
was before the war. The powers cam
not agree to let France use the Togo
land blacks in her continental army.
Britain and France did agree to d.,
vide the near east oil. so per cent to
Britain and 40 per cent to France.
Meanwhile the league went ahead
and formed a mandate department, as
article % of the covenant stipulated,
and now the assembly is forming .
mandate commission.
developed I'm Haze.
The councils commission was sup
posed to be permanent. AS the re-
lation Of the council to the league ~
enveloped in the thiokest kind of o.
haze, it Is impossible to designate the
powers Of either commission. Many
think that neither has as much power
as the mandatory states. Both are
adopting a series OF resolutions to be-
submitted to the Assembly, but these.
are meaningless until the supreme.
council or Successors submit the prop
ositions to the council or the league.
Meanwhile Germany has sent a note
to the league assembly demanding the
fulfillment Of her Interpretation OF
article o. and the United States asks.
for an open door policy in the oil
fields. The mandatory powers have
possession OF the colonies and through
the council have. control OF their adj
ministration. nv Z
