IS RACE TO BE HAIRLESS?
Prediction Made, Not Without Reason,
That Coming Generations
VIII Be Bald.

That the man of the next century
will have no hair on his head has been
predicted time and again, and the fact
that many men under forty are bald
seems to indicate that this may be
possible, the men of the coming gen.
erations acquiring badness at an
earlier age until finally a hairless
specimen Of the genus homo shall ar
rive. But 1t is through no fault Of
their own that men are losing their
hair, while women are perhaps un-
consciously getting ready to become
hairless females of the species, and
while they may be only working out
the will of Providence, they are doing
It deliberately by "bobbing" their hair.
The fashion was introduced, 1t Is
said, by Russian women, who disguised
themselves trying to get out Of their
bolshevist-ridden country. Coming to
the United States, their bobbed hair
attracted attention. was first taken up
by the bohemian set in New York,
and now is rapidly spreading. Some
of the older women. not wishing to
sacrifice their locks, are said to be
wearing false bobbed hair. .--.

is not the heat but the light from its

In hot countries, these are stronger

Paris, Aug. 11.-Slowly but surely
the Bolshevists are closing on Warsaw,

ciable reinforcements appear to have
been brought to the northern soviet
army, and in the Mlawa region their
advance is growing more dangerous.
While the latter movement does not
Immediately threaten communications
between Warsaw and Danzig, through
the Vistula river valley, the Poles will
be obliged to form new army north
Of Warsaw to cope with 1t.
To do so, they would have to draw
on the army concentrating north Of
Lublin, with the object Of falling on
Russian forces which managed to
cross to the left bank Of the Bug
river there, maneuver which mill
tary experts believe might be the
means of saving Warsaw and inflict-
ing a serious check on the Bolsheviki.
But apparently this operation Is no
longer possible, for the situation 10
notably worse on the Bug east Of War
saw, the Bolsheviki having extended
two bridgeheads they held on the left
bank below Drchiczdicn.
French military opinion Is convinced
the Poles will be obliged to abandon
the Bug and fall back on the Vistula
after making a brief stand on the
vierprz river. Under these circum-
stances, the battle for Warsaw would
be fought in Warsaw.
General Weygand of the French
army has been offered supreme COM
mand of the Polish forces by the
Polish council of national defense, ac-
cording to a Warsaw dispatch to the
Havas agency. The decision was taken
at meeting of the body called to dis
cuss the defense Of Warsaw and the
reorganization of the army.
Berlin.-A dispatch to the Lokal An
zieger from Marienwerder says Rus
sian cavalry patrols advancing from
Chorzele (seventy miles north of War
saw, and Przasnysz to the west and
southwest, have crossed the Warsaw
Nlawa railroad, cutting off retreat OF
the Poles operating near Ostrolenka,
and south Of Ostrov. To the north the
soviets are a days march from War
saw, the dispatch said.
The rush of Polish refugees toward
Danzig continues unabated, says n dis
patch to the Tageblatt from Koenigs-
berg.
Warsaw.-With the Danzig- Warsaw
railroad cut, Russians are heading to-
ward the Vistula from the northwest,
apparently to cross the river and sever
Warsaw's last line of communication
with Danzig.
Evacuation trains are leaving War
saw hourly. All Americans except
those having urgent business were no.
