Russian Reds" In effect the view OF
officials here apparently was that
pious words alone mean little when
armies are retreating and capitals
threatened.
Nevertheless II is known Poland
will have all the material assistance
possible for the United States to give
under existing conditions. This does
not mean armed Intervention by this
country, even should France and Eng
land send expeditionary forces to the
aid OF the Poles. But in so far as pos
sible, credits may be extended. so
that needed supplies can be secured.
This. ii is understood, would include
the possibility OF purchase OF the sur
plus war materials left in Europe
upon the withdrawal of American
troops. ~ t&N
I.n,land and France are keeping
the American Government posted as
to their intentions. as we'll as their
actions, in the present crisis, 1t is
understood. but officials here deny
there has been any suggestion on the
part of these countries that the Unit
ed States join them in assisting Po-
land militarily.
In official circles here considerable
skepticism was expressed as to the out
cone OF the armistice. Many frankly
state they viii not consider the cri-
sis over until both armies have been
withdrawn to their respective coun-
tries and put on a peacetime footing
Until then, they declare, they will
consider the peace of Europe. and by
this same token, the peace OF Amer
lea, in danger.
There Is "A joker in the situation
somewhere" Is the way some OF them
express it.
In general, the situation is likened
to that of 1914. If the armstice
works out, according to one of the
responsible heads of departments
here, all well and good. But If 1t
fails, and If the other half dozen
wars now raging in the various parts
of Europe cannot be put down be-
tween now and a no very distant date,
a catastrophe greater than the last
world war Is deemed more than a
possibility.

Meanwhile, despite Premier Lloyd

tanned by diplomats here concerning

Britain. IL is asserted In well-in-
formed quarters. still insists upon
the necessity OF recognizing the Mos
COW regime as quickly as possible,
while Premier Millerand continues to
blockade British efforts in this direc-
tion by the reiterated declaration
that France will not negotiate with
the soviets until they have acknowl-
edged the czar's debts TO France.

to MOSCOW was addressed ITO the
Soviet Government OF Russia"-the
first time that this official title was
used in a British documents inter-
preted here as virtual recognition.
With the whole social fabric OF
Europe collapsing. veteran observers
here declare that the biggest moment
OF the century Is at hand. bigger by
far in it's bearing on the peace OF
the world than was the fateful mo-
ment nearly six years ago when the
world war broke loose.

ENGLAND WILL YIELD
FOR PEACE In IRELAND

LONDON. July 25.-The British
government is prepared to consider
any proposals for peace in ireland
that do not mean partition OF the EN-
pire. Premier Lloyd George told j. H.
Thomas. labor leader, who headed
delegation OF trades unionists VINO
called on him with "A demand that
their military forces be Withdrawn
from Ireland.
I'VE cannot allow the present state
OF affairs In Ireland to continue the
premier said. 81 am sure things are
going to happen soon, and conditions
will become worse"
The premier said he was perfectly
willing at all time to discuss the
Irish question with true sons OF Erin
but stated the Sim Fein movement
was nothing but secession from the
empire. He said this was unthink-
able, as IL threatened Great Britains
very existence.
Thomas, acting as spokesman for
the trade unionists, said:
1--WE are in ireland, but we cannot
govern there. Fifteen hundred Irish
railwaymen were suspended, but they
laugh at the suggestion OF financial
hardships. They say tons OF money
are coming in to them. They are re-
solved to follow things out, regard
less OF the consequences. Every one
Is preparing for a terrible crisis"
To the suggestion that the British
troops be withdrawn and the Sim
Fein be permitted TO restore order, the
Premier said:
"It Is idle to discuss that unless
with some one we know Is in a posi-
ton to deliver the goods" The Pre-
mier declared that secession in the
American sense would be barred by
the fact that self-determination would

SEEN NOW IN KENTUCKY

HARRODSBURG, Ky, July 90
The knobs, Boyle county, are at pres
ent the rendezvous of numerous
snakes, and folks OF that section say
they are more numerous now than
heretofore. Various kinds are seen
including the wcll-known rattle
snakes and copperheads, and the kill
ings have been numerous of late. One
met it's end in Leonard Peaviers
camp the other day when, dropping
from the roof of the dwelling, II was
killed by Mrs. Wayland. the occupant.
The prevalence of snakes at this
time is said to be due to the clearing
that is going on in that quarter, the
reptiles being forced into the open.

High officials here today spoke OF

frankly pessimistic terms, uhles7
there is an early turn for the better
they predict. "the domestic tranPull-

President Wilson Is watching de-

promptly supplied with all authentic
information reaching the Departments
of State.
Prince Lubomirski. Polish minister
in Washington, is In constant touch
with Secretary of State cambridge
Colby.
Apparently uppermost in the minus
of officials here is the possibility OF
a coalition between the Russians and
the Germans. in the event Poland is
brushed aside, and the danger to the
peace of the allied nations growing
out of such a contingency.
1t is understood that the Polish
minister was not offered much in the
way of encouragement when he made

1t has been found that two families
out of three who are classed as poor
eve their condition to bad habits OF
spending rather than actual lack of
money. 1t is almost as important
therefore that we learn how to spend
money as to make it. 1t has been said
that even the great World war would
have been worth all it cost if it had
only taught as as a nation how to be
economical, says Boys Life. A great
educational movement is on foot TO
teach boys and girls even in the early
grades of the schools how to spend
money intelligently. One of the first
steps is to learn to keep budget of
expenses, no matter how small they
may seem. With such foundation a
boy begins life with an excellent start
in the right direction.
