prevail Of the United States and Great
Britain has hesitated to propose its
territorial demands at. the Riga peace
conference. -.
The Russian delegation here strong
ly intimates it's readiness to consider
territorial concessions. but the warn

formulation of Polands answer to the
soviet proposals as to new boundary

The Russian delegates here consider
that President Pilsudskis anti-ally

Warsaw, especially since the advances
Of the Polish army in the Ukraine
and on other fronts. 1t is reported
here that the Polish government de-

Russia and the Ukraine and recogni-
ton of them as buffer states under

New York.--The thought of deep
scars left upon the land in France
and Belgium by the trenches of the
allies and their foes has been one of
the gloomiest of postwar reflections.
To those who have feared that per-
manent harm to the agriculture of the
war-torn areas would result, the
special report made to the American
Committee for Devastated France
recently by Hal b. Fullerton, agricul-
tural director of the Long Island rail-
road, will come as relief. For in 1t
Mr.. Fullerton declares that the
trenches and shellholes have accom-
plished the one thing dearest to the
farmers heart-deep blowing.
IF farmer here in America" said
Mr.. Fullerton to reporters recently,
'manares to pillow to depth of four
inches ha thinks he has done exceed
lngly well. For the most part, he gets
down two inches. The best ever done
in this country is nine. Now what
has happened in France? Trenches

mined areas from fifty to hundred
feet in depth and often 200 feet square
have brought to the surface, withou,

soil, used for generations, has beer

trenches, with discarded ammunition
belts and rifles strewn around, the
whole place covered with grass, ferns
and shrubbery.
Another theory that Mr.. Fullerton
has exploded is that of the great harm
done TO the soil by chlorine gas set
free in military operations. On the
contrary, he declared. If 1t has any
effect at all it is beneficial one, for
the chlorine will attract To itself sodi-
UNI and potassium as chemical bases,
the result being some of the very salts
that are used in the making of fer
tilizer.
Mr.. Fullerton was full OF enthusiasm
over the French genius for farming.
While amused by some of the anti
quated tools and methods the peasants
employed, such as hoes with eighteen
inch handles, forcing the user to bend
his back at right angles as he works,
and obsolete scythe sharpeners, he
failed to find that conservatism and
distrust of new things with which the
Frenchman is so generally credited.
He told of introducing to some of them
the wheeled hoe, or automatic seeder
device that may be used for all sorts
of work, from narrowing to weed
cutting.
Il took it out to a field" he said,
! ''where some of the French were work
