Rich American Leads Poles Is True Soldier of Fortune
Charles Sweeney, Millionaire West Pointer at Head of
 Polish Battalions.

NEW YORK, Sept. 14.-War des- patches make more than casual men tion of Brigadier Charles Sweeney anw have lent to the Polish strug- gle more than an impersonal inter est to American army officers at Governors Island, who are we'll ac- quainted with Sweeney, an American and purse.
 Men of no fortune at all who fight in any old or young army for the sake of excitement and paltry pay are common enough. But Sweeney, U. s. A., is a notable exception. He is a multi-millionaires son, his father having amassed great wealth in the famous Occur D'Alene mines of Washington and Idaho, and the sol dier is more than a millionaire in his own right.
 3 Years at West Point
 He put in three years at West Point and then sought the life of an active soldier. In Mexico, South and Central America and Europe he has struck blows in desperate caus- es
 Sweeney, former lieutenant col onel in the United States Army, at- tached to the general staff, was in Paris during the spring of 1919. re- covering from wounds suffered in the Argonne offensive with the American Expeditionary Forces when he learn ed that Poland was in need of off cers for her new armies He con suited with the then Premier Pader- ewski and offered to recruit yolun- teers when he returned to America to be mustered out of the service. In three weeks he had selected 2O0 former American army officers, ali of whom had seen service in many battles in France. Col. Sweeney sailed for Poland in September of last year with the first of his officer contingent
 :. Commissioned Brieadier
 He was not long in getting into the Pole-Red fight and in recogni- tion of his splendid services Poland commissioned him a Brigadier Gen. eral. Recent dispatches say that he has been marked out by his gall antry and leadership.
 This Irish-American-Polish general for whom a soft life has had no appeal, began his career on the bat tlefield on leaving West Point alter he he'd tried mining for while.

Italian Ambassador Says
 Situation Not Alarming

NEW YORK, Sept. 14.-The Italian newspapers here print this communi- cation from the Italian ambassador, Baron Avezzana:
 "1n consequence of shortage of raw materials, lack of coal and high cost of labor, the metallurgical iE- dustries decided to effect lockout. Following this decision the workers seized the factories at Milan, Turin and Genoa. in order to prevent the lockout and to operate the factories directly.
 Such a move is a new form of struggle between capital and labor, but preserves the character of an economic struggle, inasmuch as it Is developing without notable resort to violence and without great blood shed.

WHAT'S THE USE

What's the use to have the blues?
When tides are turning every day;
1t seems to me we're playing goose
So let's be happy here today.
What's the use?
What's the use to talk about
The way some people pry around?
Let such read their own proof
AS eavesdroppers they are found,
What's the use? 4.
What's the use to own the town
(This question sure is vague
And keep the buildings vacant
AS Helen does in Hague?
WHAT'S the use?
What's the use Of owning a great
machine,
) Largo and trim and neat,
And. showing how slowly it may move
AS Jake does in the street?
What's the use?
What's the use of going away
To doctor up your spleen,
And return with something worse
Like John, from Aberdeen?
What's the use? :
What's the use of having friends,
And walking hand in hand,
Then winding them round your fingers
AS Maggie does strand
What's the use?
What's the use of having a pretty face
|, And be proud about our looks,
If we keep it hid as Anna does
