RED OFFENSIVE
ALARMS
Drive Through Poland Be-
lieved Aimed at Prus-

Service, Special Cable Dispatch1

Berlin. May 29.-The success
of Bolshevist counter-ofrensives
against Poland, particularly the
report of a new attack from the
north with the east Prussian from
tier as the objective, have revived
alarm over a possible Red menace
for Germany. Public opinion, de-
spite satisfaction over PoIand's
troubles, begins to worry over. the
spectre of a Bolshevist army over
running Poland, reaching the Ger
man frontier and joining hands
with the German extremists. Ger
man troops on the Polish frontier
have been reinforced and the gov
ernment is confident they will be
able to repulse an invasion in the
unlikely contingency of Lenine's
troops reaching the German border.
Fear of the Bolshevists is being
exploited for campaign purposes.
The conservative Bavarian govern
ment, which staged an interpella-
tion on the subject in the Diet COM
mittee on foreign affairs. declared
it did not share the central gov
ernment's optimism that German
troops were SO superior in morale
that the fatherIand was safe.
News appearing in the German
press is virtually all of an alarm.

Lack ofWonen
in Conventions
Brings Protest
Small Representation Stirs
Feeling Of Party Lead
ers Here.

Leaers of the National womsn's
Party in Washington are Vigorously
protesting ths-failure of the Re-
publican and Democratic parties to
give the women voters of the coun-
try proportionate representation at
the national conventions.
With 100000 women eligible to
vote in the fall elections whether or
not the Federal suffrage amendment
As ratified, it is contended women
will have practically no oficial part
in the conventions. Figures o.
tanned from the Republican and
Democratic women's committees
and complete except for Vermont
and West Virginia for the Repub-
Iiccans, and Louisiana and Florida
for the Democrats. show that of
9S4 delegates to the Chicago con-
vention. only twenty-five will be
women.
OF the 1.0s2 delegates to the San
Francisco convention, only So will
be women. The women get pei
cent representation in the choice of
the Republican nominee and per
cent representation in the choice
of the Democratic candidate. al
though they assert they represent
35 per cent of the total voters elIgi-
BILE to cast ballots next November
Women are largely represented,
however, in the list of alternEtes to
the conventions, 123 being accred-
tied as alternates to the Republican
convention and 1870 to the Demo-
cratic convention. Figures COM
piled by the womeh's party also
show that women played a COM
paratively minor part in the selec-
tion of delegates to the two con-
ventions. of the sixteen primaries,
women have taken no part in nine
OF the thirty States in which dele
gates are selected by convention
women took no part in the conven-
tion of either party in nine States.

Wheat Sells Lower
AS Demand Slumps;
Trend Is Weaker
Export Inquiry Less Active
on Reports of Liberal
Canadian Offers and Crop
Advance in Australia

It was the consensus of opinion
among wheat tenders that the farm
ers' holding movement will not prove
success. Although reports from the
interior were somewhat conflicting re
garding the attitude of producers, there
was nothing to show that country ac-
ceptances were falling off.
In consequence, the market closed
weak, with net losses for the day of
2tc to SIC. Early in the session the
market experienced an advance of
more than &c on renewed buying, but
offers increased materially and prices
declined SIC to 6l2c from the early
high point.
The export demand was less active,
and this also contributed to the days
weakness, while the more favorable re-
ports regarding the strike situation in
England were ignored. Export sales
were estimated at about 400 600
bushels, including about 250,000 at the
Gulf and the remainder Manitobas.
Advices from Canada indicated
liberal country offers there, with only
limited cash demand, and further re-
ports of favorable rains in Australia
were believed to be against large ex-
port operations.
The December position in Chicago
lost about 1c of its premium over
March owing to selling, on the fact
that the December price in that mar
ket was relatively higher than at the
outside points, and this was expected
to attract more wheat to that market,
Sentiment at the close of the day
was again bearish, and the action Of
the market was thought to disclose a
continued absence of confidence in
high prices

The action of the cotton market yes
