POLISH CAPITAL
DOOMED TO FALL
DISPATCHES INDICATE THAT
CAPTURE OF WARSAW Is
IMMINENT
ARM|ST|CE AGREEMENT A FAILURE
Breaking of Of Negotiations Was
Due to a misunderstanding
Say the Reds.

Latest information as to military
operations indicated that Bialystok.
northeast of Warsaw, has been lost.
The red army was reported to have
passed Bransk, southwark OF Bialy-
stok The department dispatches also
indicated that the Polish lines had
been stiffened. The advances con-
tanned a report that two bolsheviki
cavalry divisions had been concen-
trated near Szczucin, considerably to
the south OF Warsaw. Toward Lomza
on the Narew river, due west of Bialy
made progress.
The breaking off of negotiations be-
tween the Poles and the bolsheviki,
from which it had been hoped would
come an armistice and early cessation
Of hostilities, was due to a misunder-
standing according to the contention
of the Russian soviet authorities in
wireless message. The latest com.
munication from the soviet suggests
negotiations be held in Minsk Wednes-
day. 1t asks that the Poles send
delegation to Minsk, invested with all
necessary credentials to negotiate for
peace. The Poles contend 1t will be
physical impossibility for them to
comply.
Despite reiterated appeals to the
United States by Poland for extension
of moral if not material aid, there has
been no disposition shown among Of
ficials to reflect departure of the
United States from its neutral posi-.
ton.

STATE OF TRADE

The state of trade over the country
as reported by Bradstreet's for last
week was quiet. Buyers looking rath-
er than buying Retail lines doing
more than wholesalers. Cut-prce
sales help former. Industry complains
of transportation, but signs Of easing
more numerous. Immense wheat ex-
ports example of melted frozen cred
it," Coal situation still tense. Crop
reports more uniformly favorable than
for years. No records, but high uni
form level of reports. Stock market
more active at expense of values. For
eign exchange lower. Money tight
Wheat exports large. Clearings small,
er. Failures more numerous. Big
downward movement in commodities.
This weeks index number, based on
the prices per pound of thirty-one ar
ticles used for food. is $4.57, which
compares with $4.70 last week and
$3.50 for the week ending July 81
1919. This weeks number shows a
loss of 2.7 per. cent from last week
and of 1877 per cent from the like
week of last year.

tie between two Of the best, If not the
best, hurlers in South Dakota. Kutina,
formerly of the Sioux Falls club of
the state league, won out over the IA
nous Juel, Watertown's hitless Won
der, by peerless pitching and excep-
tionally clever work in the pinches.
Kutina struck out fourteen men and
allowed but six hits. Although ku-
tina was in a hole once or twice in the
early part of the game, he always ex-
tricated himself with ease much to
the discontinue of the Watertown
fans. Brookings won the game in the
tenth inning when Minor brought IN
a score after nine rounds without run
for either side. After sending single
to right field, Minor stole second. Ku-
tina got a walk and Walseth forced
him to second. Minor scored when

The meeting was called by DR.. A. A.
Harris of this city, who has always
been among the foremost in the de-
velopment of good roads, and he acted
as temporary chairman. The follow
ing officers we're elected at the busi-
ness meeting held in the Commercial
club rooms following the dinner:
President, julius Martinson Of Nolga;
vicepresident, f. +. Dressed OF Elkton;
secretary, A. A. Harris of Brookings.
It was then decided to appoint promi-
nent citizens in each township ada
cent to each community center as
members of the organization and to
instruct them to hold meetings in their
community and form local organiza-
ton. When these local organizations
have been formed, each one will Sc
lect delegate to represent them at
the meetings Of the county associa-
ton
The meeting is the first step in the
formation of county road assoca-
tion Of a scope and magnitude that has
never been attempted elsewhere in the
state, and it is hoped that Brookings
county will lead the way for the rest
of the state in this line as ithas led in
other lines in the past. The organization
will include every citizen Of the cOun-
! ty. All will cooperate in the work
and all will share equal responsibility.
! The organization as whole will CO
operate in every way possible with the
county commissioners to the end that
all Of the main travelled roads in the
county may be made permanently
good No part of the county will be
sighted, not a single section will be
neglected

BIG FIRE NORTH OF TOWN

Three farm buildings, grain, ma.
ctinery and two automobiles were to-
tally destroyed by fire OF unknown orr
gin on the w. A. Caldwell farm, seven
miles north of town yesterday after
noon. The fire was first noticed at
1890 o'clock when the large corn crib
was all abaze. A general call was
put in on the telephone lines and in
short time about fifty loyal neigh
bors were on the scene. The fire
spread rapidly to feed house and a
chicken coop close at hand, but by
heroic efforts the fire fighting force
managed to save the rest of the build
ings. The loss is estimated to be be-
tween six and eight thousand dollars.
Everything in the buildings was a
total loss. 1t is not known in what
manner the fire started. About an
hour before the fire was discoyered
one of the automobiles had been driven
in the alleyway of the corn crib. An
other auto belonging to the hired man
was kept in the same place. The loss
was partially covered by insurance.
