liquors. Mr.. Figenspan, in his
original suit, sought to prove that
beer of 2.75 per cent alcoholic con-
tent was not Intoxicating.
The latest petition pointed out the
importance and magnitude Of the
constitutional questions involved and
declared that so far as the petitioner
has been able to ascertain, there is
no record Of any important modern
case. involving such vital questions

Any Other Industry.


Any Other Industry.
Atlantic City. Aug. '6;-The bicycle
industry has progressed. it is assert
ed, more rapidly in the past year
than any industry In the United
States. This striking proof of the
revival Of bicycling was brought out
at the opening session Of the, con-
vention Of the Cycle Trades of
America, at the st. Charles hotel
here. The bicycle was emphasized
az the cheapest means of transpor-
tation known to man. It was said
unofficially that $4,000 bicycles have
been manufactured in the United
States during the year.
An appropriation Of 100000 was
voted for the advertising campaign
for the bicycle industry as a whole
during the coming year.
A program Of Standardization of
bicycles, parts and accessories was
adopted. Preventing production
waste will conserve materials and
make possible the manufacture of q
greater number Of bicycles. The de-
mand for wheels Is already taxing
manufacturers to the limit.

London, Aug. 8.-While the actual
military situation In Poland Is not
much clearer than 1t was yesterday,
It is admitted to be critical. Re-
ports, however, are in some respects
so contradictory that the precise de-
gree Of menace to Warsaw as a re-
suit Of the recent bolshevik advance
can not be estimated.
Reports yesterday stated the soviet
armies had reached points thirty
miles distant from the Polish capital,
but later advices state they are twice
that distance away and that the
soviet cavalry is far ahead Of the in
fantry, A Warsaw dispatch to the
Daily Mail says the Polish counter
offensive on ,the southern front has
been successful and that the bolshe-
Wiki have been hurled back forty
fve miles.
Among the suggestions advanced
for evading Germany's opposition to
the dispatch Of allied troops to
Poland Is one that the men might be
sent by aircraft. Such a step. it "a
