ARE PUZZLING
TO SCIENTISTS
Unable to Account for Disturb
ances in North and South
America

:I4' 'ington, Oct. II. Frequent
e. IN lakes in North and South
An..r.ca and Europe during the last
few months have puzzled. government
scientists. They regard the disturb
ances as a geological anomaly. for
they say that the greatest seismic
disturbance is known definitely 10 be
in February, March ana APRIL Their
opinion comedies with that Of Father
Tondorf, director of the Georgetown
University Seismic observatory.
The government scientists have no
particular scientific reason to suggest
for the frequency of the recent earth
disturbances. They are making no
special study of the earthquakes. and
their opinion is that geology IS too
young science and too little is
known of it for anyone to attempt an
explanation of the cause Of the anonl-
Ny.
Biologists recognize that the
earth's surface is in a state of con-
tinual unrest, and they explain that
whenever the accumulated force
passes the breaking point earth:
quakes follow. The y disturbances
which recently have occurred in three
continents are regarded by scientists
as movements Of the earth's crust and
yet they say that some of the shocks
may have extended to a depth of 200
miles. ..a..
Fault lines or weak places in the
earth are well known to the geolo-
gists, according to G. p. Merrill, cura-
tor of the national museum, who eX-
plains that because of this knowledge
a general prediction regarding the
area of disturbance can be made by
scientists. But, he adds, mo sane
man would attempt to say exactly
where or when, for a fault may extend
for several hundred miles.

SOVIET
WILL CAMPAIGN
DURING WINTER
American Officer Gives Infor
nation He Gathered in Trip
ssf2liS in Europe ,..

Berlin, Oct. 13.-Close observers of
the RussoPolish situation say the
Russian soviet army will Aot content
itself with defeat but will either be-
gin a cOunter-offensive this winter or
launch d fresh campaign in the spring.
An American army officer who
toured Poland from Warsaw to SOL
dau and then visited the Russian in
ternment camps of East Prussia said
he found virtual unanimity of opinion
among Poles, French and Germans
that the Russians would not give up
their ambition to conquer Poland
without further fighting.
"A French officer serving in Poland
told the correspondent he believed the
Russians would come back in the
spring, and that they would be better
organized for invasion than they were
this summer. A Polish officer, grad
uate Of an American university and
serving with General Joseph Haller's
army, declared he, believed, and this
belief prevail fled among Polish officers,
that the Russians. were badly beaten,
but would be- able to reorganize and
prepare for another campaign within
six months "A number Of Germans
who held the opinion that Poland can
not endure as nation, said they
were confident Russia soon would be-
gin counter-offensive.
The American officer said informa-
tion he had gathered led him to be-
lieve the Russians would renew the
fighting early this winter. Through
an interpreter he learned the attitude
of the Cossacks interned in East
Prussia. f.
Strangely enough these Cossacks
say they are not bolshevists and that
few other Russians are real bolshe-
vists," he said. "They declare they
are not fighting for bolshevism, but
for Russia against the Poles. They
appeared to be in excellent condition
and we'll equipped. Most of them
were young fellows apparently be.
tween 25 and 30; bronzed, healthy,
strapping. On the whole they showed
to much better advantage than the
Polish soldiers"
The American said he saw many
Germans, some of them officers, laugh
ing and talking with the Cossacks and
that it was evident there was much
good feeling between them.

LAST HOUR EXCUSE
OF WASTE PREPARED
War Department to Spring 1t
Tomorrow to Refute Re-
publican Charges.

The Republican National Committee
yesterday issued the following state
ment:
cat the very last hour, in the hope Of
deceiving a tax oppressed people with
generalities, the War Department at
Washington is transmitting to the press
of the country for publication on Mon
day morning an exhaustive manifesto,
intended to be a sweeping reputation OF
charges of colossal inexcusable waste
and extravaganza during the war and
continued wholesale waste since the
armistice.
1.-THE Administration has permitted
these charges to go unchallenged for
months. They were not idle campaign
charges but a specific indictment sup
ported by facts and figures irrefutable
They have been used by the newspapers
of the land and in speeches. The evil
dence accompanying these charges has
been overwhelming. IL is official evil
dence-evidence taken from the govern
mental records at Washington. In the
aggregate Il established the waste OF
billions of public money"
Gov. William c. Sproul Of Pennsyl-
vania speaking about the inexcusable
waste Of the Wilson Administration.
said:
WAR means waste War is waste.
But war waste should have ended with
the ending of the war. II did not end
then. 1t went on--prodigally. riotously
shamefully-and the people OF the
country are to-day paying the enormous
cost of IL all.
Not until the eleventh hour of the
campaign has the War Department
dared to risk an attempt to defend
itself Its attempt at this eleventh hour
is as feeble and impotent as the depart
ment itself has been feeble and i'm
potent in It's attempt to transact public
business
Five years interest on the huge
debt created by war waste would
adequately endow every college and
university in the land and furnish free
higher education to every American
boy and girl. The annual interest on
this huge debt created by war waste Is
sufficient to double the salary of every
school teacher In America The interest
on this war waste indebtedness for five
years would build two hundred thou
sand miles OF paved highways. extend
ing from the Atlantic to the Pacific and
from the lakes TO the Gulf.
The money expended In the South
alone, under war pretexts. much OF II
absolute and wanton waste. exceeds
the entire cost of our Civil War"
