Continued from PaEc One

tontlnHtu from fNrc Une
hension as TO the effect a touching Of
German and Soviet frontier lines might
hav" upon the political future of
Europe.
At the time Of the Spa Conference
it was decided that steps should be
taken to bring about peace between
Russia and Poland If possible. Poland
was advised to endeavor 10 make peace
with the Russians, while the Moscow
government was informed that the Allies
would not cOunt"naucr the invasion of
Polish territory proper.
Great Britain took up the armisticc
negotiations first, but the Soviet Gov.
ernment made it rI"a- taat it was not
inclined to accept British intervention.
but demanded direct application from
Poland. Meanwhile II was indicated in
the allied capital that military aid for
the Poles would be forthcoming if tho
Bolshoyik campaign were pressed too
far.
The action the Allies desired Of
Poland however, was finally taken by
that nation, which Thursday sent an
armiStiCe application 70 Moscow and
effected cabinet reorganization, bring
ing the Socialist element more 70 the
front. The reply sent by the Soviet
Government today is the fruit Of that
application
Poland had fought bravely to hold
back the tremendous Rolshcvik push,
md the nation as n whole was uniting
in great defensive movement, but her
greatly extended line had been stretched
TO the breaking point.
As for giving Poland aid, the Entente
powers, while evidently deciding to do
so ii forced by direct necessity. were
reluctant to take military action short
of such necessity.
There remains the possibility, OF
course, that the negotiations about to
be opened will not result satisfactorily.
1t may be recalled that Poland and
Soviet Russia previously have engaged
in negotiations for the ending Of
hOstilities, but that the pourparlers
rame to nothing because of a hitch over
the place of meeting.

SANE DISCUSSION
OF PESSIMISM
Professor Lacy, Of Central
High School, Writes Human,
Philosophical Book

BENJAMIN f. Lacy, professor Of phys
les in the Central High School, has
written a brief treatise on 'Pessimism'
which will be found valuable to any one
who realizes that optimists are some.
thing more than merely happy folks and
pessimists are more than habituai
"grouches" and who wants to know
what they really are.
The little book is written in q style
that is scholarly and yet not labored,
nor ponderous, nor dull. Those who
have been bored half to death by pro-
fessors need not be afraid to read Doctor
Lacy's book. 1t will not bore them the
other half. What Doctor Lacy. should
do--and there Is the slightest intima-
tion that he may do something OF the
SORTS to make this. work the, intro.
duction to n comprehensive study OF
optimism, meliorism and pessimisn.
Before he has gone very far the
author takes occasion to say that pure
pessimism In the Western civilization Is
impossible because of Its conflict with
religion and the established order Of
feeling and thinking. He does not say
it go plainly, but It is. clear enough to
any one of fair intelligence that that
Ia what he thinks. He then goes on to
treat pessimism about as sympathetical-
ly and fairly and honestly as possible In
the civilization in which he has hap
pened to be cast.
The book seems to be bent on helping
Its reader to know and understand pes
simism and not on converting him to It
or from It. 1t is refreshing to find some
one writing for the purpose Of inform
ing. Most people write to get the reader
on their side" -.
Doctor Lacy's "Pessimism" will not
make you n pessimist. 1t will not make
YOU an optimist. It will not make you
a meliorist. 1t will help you to know
which of the three you are-if you are
what kind Of one you are.
