Polish Young and Old Build De-
lenses To Prevent BoIsheviks
From Taking Warsaw.
BOYS and GIRLS HELP
Garry Food and Arms To Soldiers and
Lend Aid To Women In Fliaht
From War Assassination
Desperate.

Warsaw-With the Red armies
pounding at the gates of Warsaw and
the fall Of Poland's capital imminent,
school children, women and old men
are rallying in !: final desperate effort
to help save their country from the
peril Of humiliation.
All schools in Warsaw and outlying
; towns in the path of the Botsheviki
horde's advance have suspended. The
children have turned out to help the
soldiers by carrying food and arms to
them, helping build wire entangle-
ments and lending aid to women and
babies in their flight from the war
stricken areas.
Old men, bent and feeble with age
and toil-all others are already at the
battle front-are building the defenses
Of Warsaw to save the capital Of this
crumbling nation from capture. Even
young girls have joined in the laborious
task and are doing manual labor In
building entertainments and strength
ening the final bulwarks of the CAPT.
tails defense.
Would Save Capital.
Only one thought pervades the en-
tire life of the city from the humblest
to the highest Warsaw must be
saved. The indominable spirit of Po-
land, long heralded as the cradle of
liberty, with the light of freedom burn
ing in it's breast despite centuries of
oppression, never was more valiantly
manifest than at>this critical period Of
the new republics history.
There are no able bodied young
Polish men left in Warsaw; wounded
soldiers, hobbling about on erutches,
survivors of the women's battalion of
death, are squirting the remaining in
habitants to feverish desperation.
Much of the food and clothing which
rs distributed comes from the Amer
fcan Relief association which still
maintains headquarters in Warsaw.
News from the battle front was any
thing but encouraging. With the fall
OF Bialystok, northeast Of Warsaw, the
advancing Russian troops now have an
almost level terrain. over which to
reach the capital. i y.
The government will not be moved
from Warsaw. Officials fear that q
radical government would~be set up
following their departure.
The breaking of of the armistice
negotiations threw the capital into
wild fright. The break in negotiations
is said to be have been due to a mis-
understanding concerning the author
ity delegated to the Polish ennis
saries, who are returning to the CAPT
tai.

The actual increased amount to be

Grant County Herald:-An attempt
is being made to revive sentiment for I.
return to capital punishment in Mime
sofa. That the people of Minnesota
will consider even momentarily return
to the barbaric custom of few years
past is improbable. Only last week a
young Canadian farmer confessed to the
murder of his. mother seven years ago.
His father was hanged for the crime.
Justice administered by human beings
is subject to human errors. While i'm
prisonment may seem a mild punish
ment for heinous crime, at least it
permits an opportunity to make amends
to the innocent man convicted of crime.
Instances of innocent men executed for
crimes committed by other men are
frequent enough so that no other argu-
ment against capital punishment, is ne
cessary. The instincts that call for a
return to capital punishment are the
Instincts we possess in common with the
savage, the spirit Of revenge that de
mands can eye for an eye."
