U. S. WILL NOT AID
HOLDING FOR PRICES
GOVERNMENT NOT JUSTIFIED
IN BEING PARTY TO HOLD
ING CROPS, SAYS HOUSTON.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-The
government cannot be a party to
any undertaking for artificially
maintaining "war prices" by enabling
owners to withhold their commodities
from the markets Secretary Houston
said tonight in a formal statement
on the commercial credit situation.
On the other hand, the secretary
declares in favor of the orderly
marketing of all commodities and es-
Inmates that the commercial loans
of all banks during the last year in
creased by about $3,O00,0Oo,OOO to
meet the demands of industry and
agriculture.
81 am in favor of every legitimate
effort to promote the orderly mark
citing of all commodities said Sec
rotary Houston, "but the govern
ment cannot be party to an under
taking to hold commodities off the
market to enable the owners artifi-
cially for speculative purposes to
maintain war prices or higher than
war prices.
GAS a matter of fact, the banks of
the country during the last twelve
months have been extending large
credits to meet the demands from
industry and agriculture. Since Aug
ust, 1919, the loans and investments
of about 800 reporting member
banks increased over $4,000, 100000:
AS these reporting banks represent
about 40 per cent of the resources
of all the banks, it is estimated that
the total increase in loans and IN
vestments since August, 1919, has
been over $5,5OO,OO0,000."

French Officers Expect
One More Pitched Fight
to Occur at Gr0dno

PARIS. August 26-At Marshal Foch's
headquarters today staff officers We're
discussing the Polish situation and
agreed that the campaign of Poland"
is virtually ended as far as heavy fight
ing and maneuvering are concerned. The
officers opinion was that, except for an
expected stand by the bolsheviki before
Grodno, no further pitched battles are
likely to occur
Bending over large maps of Poland.
the officers main topic of discussion
was: Where will the Polish armies halt
and intrench."
Photographed frontiers are not
necessarily the best strategic frontiers"
one officer said. The opinion was freely
expressed that it would be folly for the
Polish commanders to place themselves
IT a state Of strategical inferiority by
hating within a kilometer of the from
tier fixed by the Versailles treaty, espe-
cially in the center.
Under the terms of the Versailles
treaty, the eastern Polish frontier COM
mences with the East Prussian line,
passes east of Suwalki to the west of
Grodno, through Gainovka Brest-
Lltovsk and Wlodawa to point west of
vladimir, Folhynski, through Brody and
ends west of kamenets Podolsk.
Wings Safe From Attack.
1t was explained to the Associat ed
Press that the Polish left wing, rest
ing on the Nelmen river. and the
right. holding behind the River
Zbruch We're safe against attack
The center, however was the weak
spot in the line, the officers declared
having no natural defense and being
always exposed to a possible offensive
return by the bolsheviki, which might
cut the line in half, leaving both
wings up in the air. From a purely
military and strategical point of
view it would be imperative. they
said. that the Polish center be ad-
yanced forty or fifty kilometers be-
yond the line fixed by the Versailles
treaty, to the western edge of the
Pripet marshes.
Gen. Weygand is expected at head
quarters tomorrow. The junior officers
are preparing a poster to place over
the generals desk bearing the words:
Savior of Poland"
Marshal Foch, in a published inter-
view. said: Gen. Weygand. with great
intelligence. great activity. great
energy, great vigilance and great pre-
cision and accuracy, has proved once
more his wonderful faculties and re-
markable knowledge of great military
questions. Gen. Weygand proved vic
toriously his ability to lead forces to
the front and to create and utilize the
possibilities of the rear
Asked whether they had any con-
firmation of a report which has been
current in Paris that Gen Weveand
would be made marshal of Poland"
the officers said they did not know
but one of them replied: Don't YOU
think he deserves it?"

Germans Make Plans
to Intern $4,000
Fleeing Russians

BERLIN, August EFT is expected
the number of fugitive Russian soviet
troops, who are accompanied by many
women and children in their flight
from Poland to East Prussia. Will by
tonight reach $4,000. The ministry
of defense will be obliged to trans
port the Russians to Pillau. twenty
five miles west of Koenigsburg, where
they will be embarked for SWINE
muende, near Stettin. or some other
German Baltic port, en- route to camps
in the interior.
Because of her proclaimed neutral
ity, Germany is obliged to confine the
fugitive Russians until the RUSSIA
Polish hostilities are ended. There
are still 10000 former Russian war
prisoners in various German camps
and the food quarantine questions
present difficult problems. In addl-
ton, the confiscation of Russian
rubles under German customs regu-
lations threatens to leave the pol
sheviki penniless. Members of the
interallied control commission at
Koenigsburg are cooperating with
German border officials. especially in
disposing of the arms and munitions
brought in by the Russians. Included
among the fugitives are units from
several cavalry divisions.

Reaction of BoIshevists

Not Expected by Weyqand

/ Gen. Weygand, who is credited with
| having directed the defense of the
Polish capital and hurled the soviet
armies back from that city. according
to the warsaw correspondent of the
Petit Parisien. Gen. Weygand is
quoted as saying the Poles should not
advance too far eastward, but should
intrenclr themselves along a line that
can be easily held, SO that they may
! be able to resist any effort on the
| part of soviet Russia to bring over
whelming forces against them in the
future.

seeing that Gen. Wrangel. in south
Russia. is going well. I hope the boil
sheviki will not be able to find any
siderable forces to bring against Po-
land. Russia possesses vast resources

assured, for the bolsheviki undoubt-
eddy used everything availa BILE to take
Warsaw. Those resources were medi-
OGRE, especially in artillery. a large

offensive. however, they had every
thing in their favor and We're beaten.
Wrangel Well Equipped.
j Gen. Wrangel seems strong and
we'll equipped. and in his progress
which is not haphaZard. but system
attic, one gets the impression that he

territories. so that he will not, like

him. We may. then, be optimistic
and I leave Warsaw with an excel
lent impression of the situation and

Polish army worthy of it's task"
The socialists from time to time

LUCKY FIGURE 49,.
Almost Makes One Believe in
"ScienCe of Numbers" 4
Question May Well Be Asked, Is
There Any Connection Between
Number Nine and Gold?-sta-
tistics That Are Interesting.

A nugget, weighing 173 ounces, mas
been dug out in the Belgian Congo.
This is one of the largest nuggets ever
found outside Australia, and this new
find" Of African gold is said to be
amazingly rich.
II is, of course, coincidence, yet
very curious one, remarks writer
in London Answers, that all the great
gold finds have been made in years
ending with the figure 49," The IA
nous California gold finds at Suffers
creek were in 1S49.
Just ten years later came the uls-
covery Of gold in Australia, ana III
the very same year in British Column
bia. The rush to Australia was really
the beginning of the great island con-
tinent's career as Il dominion OF the
British empire.
In 1869 the famous Comstock lode
was opened up and proved the rlclese
ever discovered In the. United States.
The year 1879 saw the Arizona so!d
finds and the great rush to the famous
town Of Tombstone.
In 1889 the almost equally lmpor-
tant diggings of Clover creek, in South
ern California, were opened up. Here
the gold was just below the surface
and huge fortunes were piled up.
In 1899 history repeated itself. Ihat
was the year when the world hfSc
heard of the amazing riches OF the
Klondikc, and when the great rush
began in the far arctic. The Yukon
gold has made that year landmark
in the history of gold digging.
The year 1909 again was the year
il which British Columbia discovered
that she possessed veritable noun
tain range Of gold. The first discov-
cry was made at Bitter Creek, where
free milling samples of rock averaged
So worth of gold to the ton.
And now, in 1919, comes the news
of this new discovery in the heart OF
tropical Africa.
This raises the question of the truth,
or otherwise, OF the so-called Science
of Numbers"-one of the many occult
beliefs that have come to us from In
dia and the East.
There are now many little books
dealing with this subject, in which
those who are attracted by out of the
way studies will find much to interest
and amuSe them. 1t is rs well, how
ever, to test thoroughly all such the
ories before putting them to any prac-
teal test. For one cannot help won-
dering why, If these sciences" are re-
liable, these who practice and profess
to believe in them are not rolling in
riches.
