HEARS CRY, SAVES OWN SON
Father Rescues Lad From Drowning In

Lancaster, Pa.-After Benjamin
Bartch of Columbia rescued a boy
from drowning in the pool at Maple
Grove, a resort near here, he was
startled to discover that the lad was
his own son John, aged thirteen.
The Bartchs were attending the pic
mic of st. Johns Lutheran church, Co
lumbia, and the boy entered the pool
with a number of companions. He
was seized with cramps while swim
ming in deep water and was sinking
for the third time when he called for
help. The father, who was unable to
distinguish him in the water, tore
off his coat and dived after the help

NEWS REVIEW OF

Russian Reds, Whipped in the
Field, Agree to Armistice
With the Poles.
SUBMIT TO ALL DEMANDS
Soviet Forces May Concentrate Against
WrangeI-Peace in Ireland Nearer
SOME Late Developments in
Our Presidential Campaign.
BY EDWARD w. PIcKARD.

Thoroughly whipped by the Poles,
the Russian Bolsheviki have signed an
armistice with their opponents, and on
October IA hostilities are supposed to
cease. The full terms agreed upon at
Riga have not yet been given to the
public. but enough has been told to
show that Poland has won virtually
all her contentious. NJ. Joffe, head Of
the Russian delegation, was in no po-
sition to refuse anything within rea-
son. and indeed he had been instruct
ed to accept almost any terms the
Poles might offer.
The western boundary line of soviet
Russia was the main matter under
discussion. and this was settled entire
~ in favor of the Poles, according to
reports from Riga. The line is placed
so far east that Lithusnia is cut off en-
tirely from Russia, and Poland is
given a corridor between those two
countries. The boundary agreed upon
begins east of Dvinsk. runs south
through Baranovitcki, Luniniets and
Sarny, and virtually along the German
line of 1915 to the Roumanian frontier.
The Poles have asserted repeatedly
that the Lithuanians have been fight
ing alongside the Russians, and this
boundary settlement should, therefore,
go far in bringing about peaceful
agreement between Poland and Lithu-
ania; when that is accomplished the
Poles will be free to turn their atten-
ton to the establishment of their own
government and the development of
their country. They have agreed to be
neutral in the Ukraine, where the so
Wet and Petlura forces are fighting,
and Russia gives up all claims to east
ern Galicia.
It is asserted by some correspond
ents that DombsiSi, head of the Polish
mission at Riga, was moved to hurry
up the agreement with the Russians
by the admonitions of the British am
bassador in Warsaw and also by the
movements of his political opponent,
Prince Sapieha. In addition, say these
correspondents, the liberal Dombski
element in Poland, is somewhat
alarmed by the successes of Baron
Wrangel in southern Russia consider
ing that the restoration of the old
Russian empire would constitute
great danger to Poland. Many experts
believe that Russo-Polish peace will
result in the crushing Of Wrangel and
his armies. It is taken for granted
that the soviet government will at
once concentrate its efforts on the
Crimean front.

However, Wrangel has been making
such progress in his campaign that his
chances still seem good. In his adj
vance northward he has taken many
thousands of prisoners and vast guam
titles of material, and his forces also
pushed along the coast of the Sea Of
Azov northeastward toward important
cities on the lower Don Early in the
week it was said that Makno, the
Ukraine insurgent leader, had formed
q junction with Wrangel's troops and
in a flying raid had seized Kharkov.
Later a wireless dispatch from Mos
COW asserted that Makno had joined
the Polsheviki and had been given a
command against Wrangel 1t was
said his shift was due to the refusal
OF his troops to fight against the Boil
sheviki. Makno's past history inclines
one to doubt the truth of this report

to the fact that the Russian crop out
look is the worst ever experienced and
that in consequence the country faces
starvation during the coming winter.
Lenine and the other leaders have
been making desperate efforts to re-
open commercial relations with Great
Britain and Italy and to make peace
with Roumania, BUT these efforts have
been fruitless so far. The Red SOL
diers are mutinying and assassinating
their officers, and the Russian people
generally are in despair.
In Petrograd especially the condi-
lions are terrible, AID all the inhab-
itants who can are fleeing from the
city. The Finnish Red Cross has just
issued an appeal to the Red Cross So
cieties of the World describing the
shocking state of affairs in the former
capital. The population has shrunk to
about 100000, and thousands are dying
every month of various kinds of cpl
denies. There is no fuel, no hot wa
ter for baths, no street cleaning or re-
moval of garbage, and the streets are
becoming impossible because the paw
ing blocks are being burned and the
water pipes are bursting. The hos
pitfalls are overlooking with patients
and their equipment is wretchedly In
adequate.
Death" says the report, stalks on
every side, waiting for winter to aid
in the grim work of moving down the
silent, hungry sick, and dying thou
sands. With streets and houses choked
with filth that is already spreading
spotted and intermittent typhus, the
cold weather will finish the task with
pneumonia and abdominal typhus."

The Adriatic dispute between Italy
and Jugo-Slavia is in fair way of
settlement, for cabinet members of
both nations met Friday in Venice and
resumed direct negotiations. Some
time ago Lloyd George and Millerand,
then premier of France, said if the
Jugo-Slavs and Italians got together
it, was nobody else's business, which
was taken as warning to the United
States government to keep its hands
off, whatever may be the disposition
of Fiume.

If it were not for the people Of Cali
fornia and few jingoes on both sides
of the Pacific, the threat of unpleasant
relations between America and Japan
would quickly fade away. The Ameri-
can associations of Tokyo and Yoke
hama have cabled to Secretary of
State Colby set of joint resolutions
urging that Americans "act with sober
elaboration and patience, trusting the
respective governments to find so
luton satisfactory and effective with,
out affronting Japan or sacrificing the
principles of equity on either hand"
viscount Ishii, the new Japanese
ambassador to France and one of his
country's wisest statesmen, is quoted
as saying: "War will never come be-
tween the United States and japan,
unless the United States seizes Japa-
nese territory or Japan seizes Ameri-
can territory. Japan has not the re-
hottest intention of ever attempting t.
appropriate any American territory"
He says there is no trade war on be-
tween the two countries, and that la
Dor and land problems cannot be per-
mitted to be magnified into questions
where war might be even envisaged.
He and other Japanese leaders assert
that most of the people of Japan real
ize that most of the talk of interna-
tional trouble is due to the fact that
the United States is in the throes of
presidential election.
