DREADFUL DISEASES

Within the past two years, he says,
great numbers of little orphaned chill

there are still some 10000 fatherless

the past two or three years infant and

HOT ON THE TRAIL OF THE
MISERABLE COAL PIRATES
Administration, Regardless OF 1t Be-

Keep Coal At A Fair Price

Washington.-Activ steps to limit
the prices charged consumers for coal
in various parts of the country will
be begun in the near future by the
department of justice, it is said by OF.
ficials of the department.
Reports Of the federal trade com
mission covering the cost of produc'
ton and distribution of coal are being
studied by experts of the department,
it is stated, and data is being compiled
upon which to base instructions to dis
trict attorneys governing the prosecu-
ton Of coal profiteering cases.
No attempt will be made to fix a
price on coal, it is said, as the at
torney general can only act under the
Lever act, but it is pointed out that
by prosecution for violation of the
law the price of coal can be kept
within reasonable bounds.
Appointment of a commission to
study the coal situation may be made
by the attorney general, officials say
if it is found that the reports of the
trade commission do not furnish fully
the information on the coal problem
desired.

ORDER U. S. SHIPS TO BALTIC
No Indications That United States GOV
eminent Is Seriously Considering
Recognizing Anti.BoIshevIki

Washington.-The armored cruiser
| Plttsburg and a destroyer have been
ordered to the Baltic sea TO protec'
American interests there.
The vessels are now at Cherbourg
France, and it is announced at the
navy department that they VIII proceeu
Immediately for Russian waters.
The vessels are under orders to pro-
coed to Danzig, the free city on the
Baltic. The threatening situation IN
POLAND has jeopardlzed the lives and
interests of a large number Of Amerl-
cars who are scattered in various parts
Of Poland. Many q these Americans
have already made their way to Dan
zig and others are endeavoring to reach
tina: port 1t is primarily for their pro-
lection that the warships were ordered
to the Baltic.
1t is stated at the state department
that few Americans were at other
points on the Baltic, and that the near
ness of Bolsheyik activities in the Bal
tic states has made it important that
some protection be within their reach.
Some of them are officials of this gov
eminent sent to observe the situation
in that part of the world, and others
are commercial representatives, en-
deavoring to establish business rela-
tons with the anti-Bolshevik states
and their nationals.
There Is still no indication that the
American government is seriously con-
sidering recognition of General Wran-
GEL anti-Bolshevik leader in south Rus
STA. Careful consideration is being Civ
en-, however, to plans for extension of
support to Poland, and officials init
mated that result Of this study
might be made known shortly.
Information reaching the state de-
partment direct from Poland under re-
cent date was that the Polish govern
ment was preparing for a prolonged
siege of Warsaw.

POLES USE FRENCH TACTICS
Signs Evident That French Are Taking
Conspicuous Part In Direction
OF Polish Army

Warsaw.-Reports of Polish mill
tary successes came to Warsaw while
the population was eagerly awaiting
news from Minsk, where the Polish
peace delegates are to negotiate with
the representatives of the Russian So
Wet government. The only report OF
the delegates was sent from Moscow
by wireless stating that the party had
arrived in Minsk.
a successful counter-offensive has
been launched on the Warsaw front
under the leadership Of Pilsudski as
commander-in-chief.
+ On the northern front, where ten
Bolsheyiki divisions are striking to-
ward the Vistua as part OF the man
euver against Warsaw, and on the War
saw front it is announced that the Reds
have been driven back at several
points.
Polish movements, aided by heavy
artillery, are forcing the Bolshevlkl to
gradually withdraw from various
places where, for ten days, pressure
upon the capital has been greatest.
In the fighting in the region OF Rad
zymin, northeast of Warsaw, the
Poles have taken many prisoners, in
Guiding a Bolshevik commissar, and
brigade commander During the bat
tie at this point Polish chaplain of
the eighth infantry division, Ignacy
Korupka, was killed while leading the
attacking forces clad in his church
robes and with a crucifix in his hand.
Five Polish officers were also killed
and eleven were wounded.
French tactics are being used
throughout the counter action. The
Poles are bringing into play batteries
placed for the capitals defense line,
and are awaiting completion Of the ar
rangements to strike at the Soviet
forces with rush of artillery, follow
ed by repeated infantry attacks.
The Polish statement says the Boil
sheviki, who had planned to cross the
Vistula southeast of Warsaw, in the
region of Maciejowice (35 miles from
the capital) were forced back.
The right wing of the fourth Polish
army, in breaking the Soviet resist
ance at Kock (92 miles south OF
Siedlcs) took two hundred Russian
prisoners and captured some cannon
and fourteen machine guns.

FRANCE Agrees
WITH UNCLE SAM
FRENCH IN ACCORD WITH UNITED
STATES IN REGARD TO
THE POLES
FRENCH POSITION GRATIFYING
Stresses The Necessity OF An lnde-
pendent Polish State, And
Condemns Bo!shevism

| Washingrc1. The american and
French governments are in entire
agreement in principle as to the III
ture of both Poland and Russia. Sec
retary Colby declares in formal
statement interpreting frances rejoin-
der to the American note to italy, HIS
statement accompanied publication OF
the translation of the French note,
which was delivered at the state de-
partment of August II ny Prince de
Bearn, the French charge.
Frances declaration "of its opposi-
ton to the dismemberment of Russia
is most gratifying" Mr.. Colby says,
and adds:
THE response is a notable declara-
ton from every viewpoint, and brings
to the position taken by the United
States a striking emphasis and pow
erful support"
The secretary referred to French
recognition of General Wrangel in
south Russia as a divergence" be-
tween the two governments on one
point, but said the United States was
disposed to regard the declared agree
ment of France with the principles
of the United States as of more sig
nificance than any divergence of pol
icy involved in the specific action of
France in this single respect"
The French notes declares that the
French government lis OF the same
opinion" as the American government
concerning the present rulers OF Rus
sia," and proceeds to condemn the
Bolsheviki in language almost identi-
cal with that employed in the Ameri-
can note to Italy.
Asserting that France is in COM
plete accord" with the United States
as to the necessity for an independ-
ent Polish state" the note adds;
This is why there is agreement be-
tween the French government and the
American government to encourage all
efforts made with view to bringing
about an armistice between Poland
and Russia, while avoiding giving to the
a character which might
result in the recognition of the Bolshe-
visit regime and in the ACKNOWLEDGMENT
Of Russia"
By this declaration, France was re-
garded here as joining with the Unit
ed States in opposing any negotiations
with the Bolshevik, such as mad been
by Great Britain in the once
projected London conference.
