RED TAPE CUT
T0BRING YANKS
300 Held at Antwerp May
Prove Citizenship by
Discharge Papers.
CBy Universal Serrice.D

Three hundred discharged Ameri-
can soldiers who have been detained
at Antwerp because they could not
show their birth certificates or prove
their citizenship have been allowed
tc have passports by showing their
discharge papers, according to de-
cision of Col Moore of the Passport
Division here yesterday.
This decision was rendered after
long conference between army
staff officers and State Department
officials, and the authorities in
Antwerp, were cabled to accept the
army discharge papers as proof Of
citizenship.
This trouble came about by the
fact that these soldiers were dis
charged from the service abroad,
married, and now want to return to
the United States but for months
past nave been confronted with the
red tape of the departments.

one for her from a local merchant

$3.50. This check, it is claimed, was
worthless. A Keyser merchant says
he also received a worthless check.
AS officers approached the house

New Way to Put Up Postage Stamps,
hnOented BY Printing Bureau Man.
Makes Licking Process Gern1proof

The printing of millions of dol
lars of postage stamps by the gov
crnment OF the United States cacr
Year is being revolutionized by an
ingenious process just perfected by
Banjamin F. Stickney. 1892 Madison
street northwest, expert mechanic
and designer of the Bureau of En-
craving and Printing. For about
seven years Stickney has been de-
velOping the machine in a quiet Of
fee within the closely guarded
walls of the Bureau Building.
Under the direction of James l..
Wilmeth. director of the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing, a sufficient
number of machines applying the
Stickney method have been installed
to produce approximately 25 per
cent of the total output of stamps.
No Fear of Contagiop.
The most interesting ADVANTAGE
Of the process is that it produces
postage stamps so sanitarily that
they may be licked with as little
fear of contagion as in drinking
pasteurized milk. Furthermore, the
stamps go through a heating process
in order to dry the gum on their
backs before they are mechanically
twirled into rolls.
By the old method of printing
stamps, the final product Is in the

By FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

Copyright. 1870, BY Public Ledger CO..
Washington learned oficially yes
terday. from American sources in
Warsaw. that the military tide on
the Polish-Re front has turned in
Poland's favor.
In a dispatch dated Wednesday,
August Is. the United States charge
d'affaires in Warsaw. John Camp
bell White, telegraphed the State
Department that unless the Boil
sheyist army is able to organize
a strong counter attack, 1t is on
the verge of a severe defeat" That
reassuring information was cor
roborated by news received by
Prince Lubomirski, the Polish Min
lister.
L. :. MeSsage Hits Home.
Coincident with the revival OF the
Poles battle fortunes. and perhaps
in considerable degree responsible
for them, comes the important news
that Americas appeal to Russian
nationaIists to renounce Boil
shevism is soaking in. l am
enabled to state that during
the past twenty-four hours word
has reached the United States
government from its observers" at
various points along the far-fiung
Russian frontier that our message
to patriotic Russia is striking home.
The remarkable fact is chron-
icled that it seems to be appealing
to non-Bolshevist and Bolshevist
elements alike.
IndispUtable proof is in hand that
our invitation to genuine Russian
Democrats to dethrone their Red op-
pressors and accept the proffered
aid of the United States in rehabili-
tating their country is creating the
kind of impression We want it to.
Warsaw still in Danger.
Military authorities in Washing
ton. who have hitherto been con-
spicuously accurate in their gsuging
of PoIish-Russian military develop
ments, warn against too optimistic
conclusions
Our military experts are not yet
really to predict that the Bolshevist
army has shot its bolt. There is
still the possibility that Brusiloff
will turn and counter attack. Much
is thought to depend on the ability
Of the Polish government to furnish
its army with an incessant and ude-
qUate stream of munitions.
