Poland is the only bu1wark against
Boshcvisn," said Gen. Bliss, who ap-
peared before the committee to dis
cuss the proposed loan of S150,000,0 90
for food relief in Europe. Military
experts are of the growing opinion
that the Moscow government will
turn towards Poland" Gen. Bliss said.
adding that the Russians outnumber-
ed the Poles, were we'll trained, well
equipped and well led, while the
Poles were poorly equipped as to
everything. The allied governments,
the general continued, should be cal
led upon by the United States to give
some of their surplus military supplies
to the Poles.
Describing Poland as "The possible
storm center in Europe" Gen Bliss
declared that "when whole people
are brought to starvation they may
make war on a neighbor having food
and so renew the confagration we
had hoped had died out"
Military men believe the Bolsheviki
will not try to press eastward to fight
the Japanese, Gen. Bliss said, and
that instead of sending armies to-
ward India OF Turkey they will at
tempt military propaganda there.

cause of the great unrest that exists
there. Thus far no disorders are re-
ported outside of Berlin.

Falconer Wins Fist Battle
Amid Aldermanic T1lmul,


Three diminutive scrgeants alarms
Alderman Bruce NJ. Falconer, robust
six-footer, from the meeting of the
Board of Aldermen in City Hall. They
never got more than two fingers at
time on their intended victim, whose
large hands frightened on the. tops of
their heads and spun them away when
they rushed to close quarters.
Alderman Faiconer's refusal to sit
down when ordered TO Go so by the
chair started the rumpus which led to
general melee. in which words and
fists were flung about indiscriminately v.
Tammany members pushed and showed
and threatened to fight with the Re-
publican Aldermen who took sides with
their associate, Falconcr.
Tumult Ovcrwhelms Chairman

Brooklyn. who was acting chairman in
the absence Of Major f. II. La Guardia

plimentary remarks about Alderman
Falconer, who at Il recent meeting in
troduced a resolution calling upon
Mayor Hylan to remove the Commits

Under the rules report from a
commissioner is filed without debate.
Mr.. Falconcr insisted upon debating
the matter, though ruled out of order
by the chair. Chairman Haubert then
directed the scrgeants-at-arms to
make the rccalcitrant member sit
down or eject him from the chamber.
Calls Hirshfeld "ContcmptibIe"
When Mr.. Falconcr was given the
floor he declared that Commissioner
Hrshtield had attacked his motives,
his character and his patriotism. He
referred to Hirshfcld as "a contempt
ible little tooter of his horn" and said
he could not sit still and hear an at
tack from "a man like Hirshfield'
without resenting it, He declared that
the attack was joke, and so was
Hrsh6cld, and that there were many
Democrats in the city who thought
the Commi ssioner of Accounts should
be "thrown out Of Office and an honor
able man put in his place"
Some Of the Tammany members de-
manded that Mr.. Falconer be com
pelled to apologize to the board for
his "untoward actions" but the near

Lift Pilots Strike
II nlk.Out Fails to Tie Up
Building; Discharge Of
C0n,r0fR Is Resented

Forty recruits were gained by the
outlaw rail strike when employees of the
longest vertical railway in the world
deserted their elevators in the Wool
worth Building at 1880 yesterday
morning.
For few minutes visions of death
by starvation swan before the eyes of
persons marooned in Offices forty and
fifty stories above the earth, but the
tie-up was only temporary.
Electricians and other mechanics en-
ployed in the building were drafted to
take the places of the strikers. and
service in the structure was two o-thirds
normal for the rest of the day.
Many tenants offered services of their
employees to help break the strike, but
they were told by Z. A. Cochran, super
intendent of the building. that they
would not be needed.
The elevator operators struck, Mr..
Cochran said. Because he had been
obliged to discharge one of their num-
Der. He added that none of the men
who walked out would be taken back.
"The effort to tie up our building.
the largest in the CITY," he said, "is
intended by the union as club against
other owners and managers of build
ings in this city. They wanted to DEM
onstratc their ability to call out the
men by putting cur service out Of conf
mission"
The Wooworth strike is said to be a
forerunn, of a general strike Of eleva-
tor opera tors throughout the city, The
men are demanding from $33.60 to
$3S.6O week and 44-hour week, with
time and half for overtime. Building
managers have received these demands
and will send their reply to the meeting

When Trading Stopped

Allan A. Ryan, dominant figure in
the happenings that led to the suspcn-
sion of dealings in Stutz Motor stock or
March 81, notified the governing COM
mittce of the Stock Exchange yesterday y
that he wished his seat sold without
delay, on the ground that in the recent
deliberations of that body the members
had been unduly swayed by those an
tagonistic to him.
Mr.. Ryan charged that a prominent
member of the governing committee
is partner of a Stock Exchange firm
that was not only short a large num-
Der Of Stutz shares, but continued to
sell the stock up to the last minute
that trading was allowed and has as
yet failed to make delivery of its sales
Charles A. Morse, chairman of the
special committee Of members of the
Association of Stock Exchange Firms,
organized in the interests of the shorts,
announced that the committee had re-
tanned as an advisory counsel Charles
E. Hughes, who as Governor of New
York ordered searching investigation
of Stock Exchange practices about ten
years ago.
William II. Remick, president of the
Stock Exchange, in a statement issued
after Mr.. Ryan's charges had been
considered by the law committee, as
serted that the firm of De Coppct &
Dorcmus, of which H. G. s. Noble, a
former president of the exchange, is
partner was long on balance 33
shares Of Stutz when dealings in the

reference to Mr.. Noble was made on
the assumption that Mr. Ryan had him
in mind in asserting that governor
was member of firm short large
number of Stutz shares.
Ryan's Charges in Letter
Mr.. Ryans charges and notification
OF his desire to resign were contained
in a letter to the board of governors
1t said:
Because of the treatment which has
been accorded me by your comm ttee
and board of governors in the Stutz
matter | feel that I can no longer re-
main a member Of your institution.
From the moment when you started to
take up the Stutz situation have been
impressed with the fact that in your
deliberations and conclusions you were
unduly swayed by those who have an
interest antagonistic to me. On your
board of governors are members of
houses who, for themselves or their
customers, are and have been right
along short of Stutz stock; indeed, on
your very committee having this mat
ter IN hand there is an active member
who is a partner of firm that is not
only short Of large number Of the
