POLAND PLATED

Word of Polish successes against the Bolsh cviki in the vicinity of Mozir and kelenkovitz. and the re- ported capture of these railway functions are said to have brought great rejoicing to the Polish people. They feel that decisive blow has been struck. An official statement says the Bolshevist party of suing for peace and at the same time con- tinuing attacks along the front
 Today comes word from Warsaw that the Russian Soviet government has sent new peace note to the Polish foreign office. Almost apolo- setic is the communication in refer ence to the Bolshcvist attacks on the Lithuanian and White Ruthenian fronts. It is evident that the Soviets this action to ward off such danger at this time at least.
 The sincerity of the proposal from Russia that the Soviet government desires peace not only with Poland but with the other border states as well, may be doubted. and the danger of treachery is ever present. The more justfiable belief, however. is that Russia is experiencing con tinuation of the approach of com- mon sense heretofore noted. There can be little doubt of the final out come of the conflict; how soon the denouement will come is dependent on the speed with which those in charge of Russ1a's affairs assimila te wisdom.

EARLY SETTLEMENT T
 IS NOT EXPECTED
Miners Will Be in Session Several
 Weeks

New York. March 1.-The sub- committee of operators and miner appointed to negotiate a new wage agreement from the anthracite coal miners held it's first conference here today. The sessions are expected to continue for several weeks before 8 definite decision is .rcached.
 Neither miners nti operators are hopeful of an early decision as no definite agreement will be reached un- til the soft coal commission han<g down it's award in the case of the soft coal miners. Reports from the com mission which is sitting in Washing ton have failed to disclose what pro gross is being made.
 The high cost of living will figure largely in the arguments of the mine workers for 60 per cent. wage in crease. it was stated today. Volumes of statistics have been gathered by the statisticians of the United Mits Markers to show that the mine work CTS wages have not kept pace with the cost of living. These will be placed early in the sub-conn nnittee's conference.
 Union officials indicated today that the closed shop will be one of the demands that will be insisted upon in the new agreement. They contend that the union has served it's 'appren.. ticeship'' in the anthracite field where they estimate that their membership includes 6J per cent. of all mine workers in the Pennsylvania hard coal region.
 Up to the present time the opera tors have refused to comment. or ex- press their attitude toward the de- mands of the mine workers except to indicate that it would be impossible to m eet them without increasing the price of coal The scale committee of the miners, mum bering 37 men. has remained in New York in order to be in close touch with the representatives of the sub com mittee and act in an adviselA- capacity should their services be needed

THE FEELING IN FRANCE.

What a. triumph of perverted diplo- macy the discussions on the Treaty of Versailles in the United States have HbeSn. Irrespective of the good and ead 2oints of the controversy there has beSn moro bad feeling among na- .tions ofN.he world stirred up in this country tl1Sn it seems possible to have attained. Politicians, high and low. have consistently given opportunity dor other nations to feel insulted.
 Japan has occasion to feel that her rationaI honor has been assailed in she Senate through the arguments on shantung and her prom{Sse~fo return lthe occupied Chinese province. Anti league Senators have not hcsitated to @tate that she was liar. in snoot he r. language perhaps, and that she had nothing but motives of az grandizement in her plan for tShantung. Great Britain has been paraded before the people of the country as the maker and dictaror of the League. Her dark and sinister plans, whether she had them not, S have surely been exposed to the full est publicity. She was graspinG for Il power and had six votes to our one Il Dut upon Great Britain. The Senate I has been responsible for this line of ar.ument which. needless to say. has . received as much publicity in tn" British Isles as it has in this country. Italy and Fiumc have been the cause of tirades that may be easily con- lstrued as insults by the Italians.
 Now the third of the great powers of Europe has occasion to feel grossly misjudged in the altercation over the RTreaty, and this time tho President khimself has been the person who has Brought about the dehacl". Tn" French people think that they hay, been accused of militarsm and utter for purposes because of the words of the President to Minority Leader

CHICAGO FIGHTS FOR FOOD.

With characteristic push Chicago, having been the scene of energetic action against rent protiteering, has now taken up the fight for food at lower prices. Some time ago it's women met and tried to do something about it. Now comes District Attor- ncy Cline with the statement that he plans to bring suits under both the Pure Food and Drug act and the Lever law against storage houses to force hoarded food into the market.
 If success is attained in Mir. Clines amount of food ever thrown on the market at one time in the United States will be forced into the retail trade. Figures gathered by reSpon- sible officials show that Chicago stor- age houses hold 4.96a.39S pounds of butter as compared with 2.122,361 stored a year ago, and that more than 5,000.0Oe pounds of cheese are being held as compared with 1.561.4 460 last year. The District Attorney says plalHlN tuat nlSH ptICe' ttie uclpS maintained by within oluin. theSs great supplies of foodstuffs. and he has gone to Washington to discuss the situation with Attorney General Pal nCr.
 To the consumer who feels quite properly that he is not supposed to know what can be doue about the distressing situaticn n but that there are men whose duty it is to know, this sort of action looks real. The ef- feet of Mr. Cline's success would not be limited to Chicago. and is looked for eagerly even in New Britain.

HOONEIs SANITY.

Most men like to see their own be- own, uttered by one in authority A man or publication receives ones approval when he or it voices ones own sentiments. Some men may not care much for Herbert HooNer's char actcrization of himself as an "Inde- pendent Progressive.H but few will take issue with any of his declara tionS of principle. He believes the issues before the country at this time transcend partisanship. Can there be mind? He thinks his var service changed him from Progressive repub- Icanism to Progressive independence --delicately and loyally expressed. This position makes it natural that he objects "as much to the reaction ary group in the republican party as to the radical group in the demo- cratic party"
 Mr Hoover believes. as do most honest mon deep in their hearts, that the people should select their own of fcials at their own initiative and he resents tue ''manut;'cturc of officials by machine methods" It is unani- nous And yet the habit of candi- dates of stating more or less frankly just where they stand on vital uues- tions is rather satisfactory to the man wishing to vote intellgently. Mr. Hoover "Cannot conscicntiously pa rti- cipate in any organization which aci- tates that be should take public Of flee. but he "cannot prevent" any or ganzi,tion from so doing. The line between participating and co-operat- ing is extremely thin. Et is believed that M'. Hoover's honestly declared willingness to serve. but unwillingness to seek, prompted his declarations of principles. Possibly he believes that his recent letter is all he can con- scientiously do within the limits pro- scribed by the line he has drawn. His belief in party organization is prcdi- cated on insistence on the promotion of issues. not men.
 'FinallN." he writes, "I am not so isl;"rant not to realize perfectly well that such a course do~s not lead to nomination to the Presidency. but 1 would not be myself if [ started out ] on part of self-seel>ing to obtain any office.''
 It is respectfully submitted that Mir. Hoover is perfectly correct in be- HcvinS that the course he has taken. , and the publication of his views do not lead to the nomination if "poit- ical mcchanics' alone read his letter. ! ft might be otherwise if the people l aloie were to be the nominators. It
 might've otherwise if politicians real l ize eNactfN the sort of impression 1 Mir. Hoover's communication will
 make.
