OFFENSIVE OVER WORLD
SOV|ETS PLOT TO PUSH :

KOINO. Poland, (By Courier to
Dlotowan. East Prussia). Aug. 1e.-
"a. P.)-Soviet Russia intends to seek
an allegiance with Germany to make
war on France. and If it succeeds. to
undertake a conquest of England and
eventually America, officials of the
bolshevik regime told the Associated
Press today.
+. When the Polish war, considered a
purely Russian business. is finished, a
note will be sent to Berlin, they de-
clared, demanding permission to
transport troops across Germany for
the French campaign. On refusal,
which is taken for granted, a revolu-
tion will be instituted in Germany. the
success of which bolsheviki asserted
they were prepared to assure by force
of arms.
With these ends in view, Russian
soldiers, who have been told adj wars
shall cease with victory over the
Poles. are being subjected to propa-
ganda which declares Frenchmen
will be shot on sight, but that the; Ger
mans are friends who soon will be
comrades. These admissions have
been corroborated by information
gathered by the correspondent in con-
versation with German representa-
tives of East Prussian newspapers who
interviewed bolsheviki army chiefs.
Bolshevik leaders declare that within
three weeks they will completely con-
troll Poland, including the Polish cor
ridor. which they intend to occupy.

CHICAGO, Dec. An attempt to
restore to nineteen-year old Mary Kol-
wizski, of Joliet, ILL.,, her mental and
physical faculties, lost for seventeen
years, will be made at the American
hosital here tomorrow when physi-
clans will transplant the thyroid gland

The operation will be performed by
Drs. Sigmund Krumholtz and Bernard

girl since she was found secreted in
a cellar in her home at Joliet last
September.
A truant officer found the girl, who
was neither able to read, talk or walk.
According to the story told authori-
ties by, the mother, Mrs. John Zun-
decke, the girl was stricken with in
fantile paralysis and lost all control
of speech and limbs when she was two
years of age. The mother kept the
girl home in the cellar for seventeen
years.
According to Klein, it will be the
first operation of its kind in history.
Use of monkey gland, Klein said,
was decided on in preference to sheep
anG goat glands because of the higher

be able to appear in person The read
ing BY William Tyler Page, clerk OF

The reading of the presidents mes
sage required twenty-three minutes in

and the galleries joined in the demon

silent
Reading Of the message began in
the senate at 1852, bringing to an
end a long debate on the troubles of
the farmers.
Declaring that democracy is being
put to it's final test, the president
said the "old world" is suffering
from a wanton rejection Of the prin-
ciple Of democracy an substitution
of the principle Of attocracy. 1t is
the duty of this country to see that
democracy prevails, he said.
The president told congress that
the best way to aid struggling democ'
racies in other parts of the world is
to prove that a great democracy can
keen house as successfully as any
other government.
Passage Of the budget bill is the
first step in this direction, he said,
and he urged it be one of the first
acts of the present session
