DISTRIBUTE EXCESS PROFITS
Growers of 1918 Wool Crop Being
Paid as Rapidly as Possible by
Department of Agriculture.

Excess profits made by dealers who
handled the wool clip in 1918 are be
ing distributed to some 100000 wool
growers by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. 1t is estimated
that the total amount of such excess
profits is more than one million dol
lars, of which a-little less than hall
has been turned over to the bureau OF
markets for distribution at the present
time.
Some of the dealers who accumu'
lated excess profits have failed or re-
fused to refund the entire amount SO
far, and the bureau is working to Sc
cure the full amount. The department
of justice is cooperating with the
bureau, and it is hoped to complete
the distribution of the funds at an ear
ly date.

KEEP BIRDS OUT OF CUTTERS
Strip of Galvanized Wire Cloth or
Netting viii Effectively Ex-
cIude SparroWs.

To keep the birds from nesting in
the cutters or leaves from blowing
in, a strip of No. 4 or No. 6 galvan-
lied wire cloth or netting should be
crimped on top of the caves gutter
or held in place by wire passed around
at intervals of every two or three feet.
The number of the wire cloth indi-
Gates the number of meshes to the
inch the finer being more suitable for
the purpose. The covering will not
interfere with free passage of wa
ter. but will effectively exclude trash.
Such a covering would be more effec-
tive If soldered in place before the
gutter is put up.

OPPOSE ADVANCE
 AGAINST POLAND
POLICY OF UNITED STATES IS AM NOUNCED IN A LETTER
 TO ITALY.

Washington. - Withdrawal of all Russian forces from Poland and the withdrawal of all allied troops from ethnographic Russia, together with as- surances- by the allied and associated powers that Russia will not be dis membered, constitute President Will sons proposal for the settlement Of the Russo-POlish war.
 Contingent upon the retirement of the Russians from Poland and the withdrawal of any foreign forces now in Russia, the president suggests that the allied and associated powers issue declaration guaranteeing respect for the boundaries of ethnographic Rus sia and proclaiming that aggression on Russia by Poland or any other pow CT will not be tolerated.
 This policy, the president believes, Poland and Russia, but would weak en and aid in the eventual overthrow of the Bolsheviki by depriving them 0 fthe support of non-Bolshevik Rus sians, given for the defense of the Russian nation from external aggres- sion. MT. Wilson proclaims himself unalterably opposed to the recogni- ton of the soviet government of Russia
 The presidents proposal is con- tained in a 2,500 word letter sent by Secretary of State Colby to Baron to1i ha oH n answer to the Italians government in quiry concerning the American atti- tude toward the Russian advance into Poland.
 What material aid the American government is ready to contribute to carrying out and enforcing this policy the president does not say in the Col by note. He does say, however, that to aid in maintaining the independence and territorial integrity of Poland the policy of this government will be directed to the employment of all available means"
 In connection with the assertion that the United States would view with satisfaction a declaration by the allied and associated powers that the territorial integrity and true boun- diaries of Russia shall be respected" the president says these boundaries should properly include the whole of the former Russian empire with the exception of Poland proper. ethnic Poland and such territory as may by agreement form part of the Arme nian state"

WARSAW FEARFUL
 AS REDS APPROACH
PEOPLE FIGHT FOR STANDING ROOM ON TRAINS LEAVING
 THE CITY.

Warsaw.-A feeling of intense ap- prehension has spread through the city as reports circulated that the enemy is gradually drawing nearer and is attempting a huge encircling movement. Crowds are striving to leave the city by all, available means, carts, automobiles and a few remain ing trains.
 Difficulties are increased by the absence of any statement from the government as to what is to be done. There is absolutely no arrangements to look after individuals seeking to escape from the threatened envelop- ment. The foreign legations are gone, so that foreigners must shift for them selves. People fight for standing room on the trains, or for places on the roofs of cars, or for the privilege of hanging on to the car couplings.
 Concentration and regrouping of the Polish forces for an extensive counter-stroke on the entire Warsaw front is reported. The plans are, it is said, to begin this counter-move with ing few days. Military men express the opinion that this is propitious time to strike back in an effort to drive off the soviet forces which are endeav- bring to encircle the capital.
 Although Polish forces have aban- doned the town of Ostrolenka, they hold their positions between the Ma rev and Bug rivers, and are sufficient ly strong to defend Warsaw in that direction. The evacuation of Ostro- lenka, however, involves regrouping of the Polish forces along the middle reaches of the Bug river, where they are retreating toward the river Li- wise, east of Warsaw.
 A long stream of Poles have forfeit ed positions which extend along line more than 30 miles from Warsaw
 Soviet cavalry involved in the oper- ation north of the Narew river is re- ported not strong enough either to at- tempt to force a passage to Vistula or even seriously to threaten the Thorn region.

BOLSHEV|K| PLAN
 WORLD CONQUEST
HOPE TO JOIN WITH GERMANS AND INVADE FRANCE, ENG-
 LAND AND AMERICA.
WILL SOON CONTROL POLAND
As Soon as Polish War Is Finished Note Will Be Sent To Berlin For Permission For Troops To Cross
 For French Campaign.

Kolono, Poland. = Soviet Russia Intends to seek an allegiance with Germany to make war on France, and if this is successful to undertake a conquest of England and eventually America, officials of the Bolsheyik re- gime told the Associated Press here.
 As soon as the Polish war, which is considered a purely Russian busi. ness, has been finished, a note will be sent to Berlin, they said, demanding permission to transport troops across Germany for the French campaign. Upon refusal of this request, which is taken for granted, a revolution will be instituted in Germany, the success of which the Bolshevikl say they are prepared to assure by force of arms,
 With these ends in view the Rus sian soldiers, who have been told that all wars shall cease with ultimate vic tory over the Poles, are being subject ed to vigorous propaganda which declares that Frenchmen will be shot on sight but that the Germans are friends who soon will become com rades of the Bolsheyiki. These ad- missions have been eorroDorated by information gathered by the corre- spondent in conversations with Ger man representatives Of East Prussian newspapers who had interviews with the Bolshevik army chiefs at the front. The Bolshevik leaders say that within three weeks they will be in complete control of Poland, including the Polish corridor, which they in- tend to occupy, leaving 10-kilome- ter neutral zone about Danzig.
 When the correspondent reached here, surreptitiously crossing the bor- der at Czerwone and employing the aid of Poles and farm wagon filled with straw, he called on the Polish soviet commissary who recently was established in office by the Bolsheyik military.
