PACKERS MUST SELL
YARDS BY AUGUST 81
ATTORNEY General Palmer Extends the
Time to Dispose Of East
Side Interests.

Washingtoh.-Pack will have
until August 81 to dispose of their in
terests in the East st. Louis and
other stock yards of the country, in
accordance with the terms of dissolu-
tion agreed upon between them and
Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer
following the suit he instituted against
them.
An extension of time for divorce
ment of their interest called for was
arranged here after an extensive con-
ference between representatives OF
the packers and the department of JUS
tice. Had this extension not been
arranged the packers would have been
compelled to give up their interests
now.
At the conference here the packers
presented plan Of dissolution, but 1t
was so long and involved that attOr-
neys of the department of justice
wanted time to consider it before CIV
ing approval. Consequently it was
decided to give the time of executing
the dissolution until August 81 to give
time for consideration. An order to
this effect was entered blythe depart
ment of justice in the United States
supreme court.
Officials of the department said that
intc make public now the plan submit
'vd would embarrass both rAe govern
| ment and the packers, therefore it will
be kept secret until acted upon.

President Wilson, asking him to have
a conciliator sent by the labor depart
ment Flaherty said it would be use
less to send a post office inspector, "as
they are under the domination Of Bur-
Lesson"
The labor department acted on the
request from the White House without
consulting the post office department,
but because the subject is interdepart-
mental in it's nature, 1t was stated at
the labor department that the post Of
flee department will be communicated
with Immediately. 1t was understood
by the labor department that Flaherty
desired to have r. B. Mahany, the
regular interdepartmental conciliator,

out stated that Mahany could not leave

be sent instead.

Thousands Of Bolshevik Prisoners and

Warsaw.-Poland's army is rapidly

reported. The recapture OF Sokolow,
Drohiczvn and Biala, with thousands
Of prisoners and great amounts of war
material is reported in the official COM

TO the northwest Of Warsaw the

designed to carry them across the

bridge, but a Polish counter stroke
broke the attack.

nine miles southeast of Lemberg.
Peasants in the region Of LipnO,

Paris.-General Pilsudski's army
has reached the Middle Bug River, ac-
cording to plan, and is marching down.
the stream to join the army advancing
up the fork between the Bug and the.
Narew rivers toward Ostrolenka, with,
nf hn 10
Bialystok road, their enemy's sole ave.
nue. of retreat
Down this road the Reds are bolt--
ing, profiting by the large number Of
horses in their possession. The fact
that they have these horses is said to-
account for the comparatively small
number of prisoners being taken by
the Poles. Pursuing French airplanes,
however, have prevented the enemy
from taking with him many guns and.
much material. Up to date seven Boil
shevik divisions have been cut to
pieces and all their guns captured.
The Polish right wing, advancing
from the south, is now before the forts
of Brest-Litovsk, and part Of 1t has
crossed the Bug River in the directions
Of Kovel, thus providing safe guard
against flank counter attacks. Polish
forces in this region are supported by
a Ukrainian division and General Ball
achowicz's Russian volunteer army,
which had remained in Polesia, east
of Brest-Litovsk and to the rear Of
the Bolsheviki.
