WARSAW, July 25-The Poles and
Bolsheviki are fighting for possession
Of Grodno. In a counter attack the
Poles captured two of the Grodno forts
and the southern part Of the town,
which was taken in hand to hand
fighting.-A communique issued by the
war office today announces further
Pollsh successes along the Niemen
where the Bolsheviki have been push
ed back at several places, the Poles
capturing two cannons and some pris-
oners. The fighting is continuing
In their offensive against Galicia the
Bolsheviki are reported to be bring
Ing up Tartars and Kuban and Terek
cossacks who have entered the line.
Four regiments of Tartars already
have been identified in the forces
driving toward Lemberg.
Using Many Reserves
The Bolshevik thrust in the direc-
tion Of Sokolka west of Grodno has
carried them past the Polish boundary
line set by the council of ambassadors
Along the railroad in this region the
Poles are reported to be fighting to
stem the momentum of the southwest
erly drive which is swinging the Reds
toward Poland's capital, without much
resistance, in the face of overwhelm-
ing numbers of fresh Bolshevik troops.
Bolshevik reserve divisions as
sembled by Gen Brussiloff weeks prior
to the launching of the offensive are
daily being thrown in all along the
northern front.
Mako Final Effort
Lemberg newspapers assert that
Bolsheviki officers in the Lemberg
hospital admit the present Bolshevik
offensive is a final effort, which will
not continue for more than a fostnight
as the Reds are demoralized and dis
couraged.
The Courier Poranny says Moscow
is clearly sending out propaganda in
order to SOW discord between Poland
and England.
One of the Warsaw newspapers
commenting on the military situation
! declares that unless the Bolshevik ad-
vance is checked in the region Of
Grodno, the government should issue
an alarming appeal to the population.
| So long as the chief command remains
quiet, it adds, it would indicate the
Poles are preparing decisive blow at
the advancing enemy.
PARIS, July 24-"The role Of the

support with every means within fits
power the newly formed Polish min
istry and to advise us as to the army's
needs in material, munitions and in
| structors.
THE mission will do what Is pos
| sible, even what is impossible to come
to the help of our allies" the Premier
| continued. "Latterly we have not
spared friendly warnings to Poland
but she now expects from us some
thing besides reproaches. I can as
sure you her expectations shall not

be given too many tools at once.
In this day of combinations a com

would be necessary to place the tools
in the care of some responsible per-
son who would give them out and put
them away. OF course ground so oc-
cupied would look like chaos come
again, but the result would be worth
the price. If the chosen spot could
be surrounded by a vine covered
fence or a hedge of elder, willow or
other quick growing greenery, it
would probably be a qualification to
the noighborhood, but a community
play yard is a cooperative posi-
bility.

PosslSEL pLaY YiRDs

The readers 81 these sarSccles DO
not need to be convinced Of the inn
portance and educational value of
children's play. Among the intelligent
parents Of today it is now largely a
question Of ways and means. Play
apparatus such as slides, swings, see
saws and sand boxes are being pur-
chased and set up in yards and gar
dens on every side and most schools
are now well equipped with such de-
vices. This provision for occupation
is good-very good--as far as it goes,
but it does not 60 far enough.
An observer Of children at play
knows that the usual types Of appar-
atus furnish them many well occu-
pied hours, but it is common occur
renee for these expensive articles to
be deserted for the street, the va
cant lot, the building in process of
construction around the corner, the
forbidden pond or the lake. How
can we add to the attraction Of the
home yard so as to increase the num-
Der Of hours of contented play there
and decrease those undesirable wan
deringsf To meet this need / offer
the suggestion which comes to me
from my observation of a school in
my vicinity. In the ground surround
ing the building there is a so-called
Construction, Zone, q strip of land
where any child or group of children
may work according to inclination.
Garden tools, hammers, nails and
boards of various sizes were fur
nished. Within a few months warn
ETY. of houses, huts, tents and other
nameless contrivances appeared, each
one representing hours of honest eff
fort and moments of great satisfac-
ton to the little carpenter who bad
constructed it.
Last spring one Of my neighbors
turned over tract of land in her
yard to the boys, for constructive
purposes and their entire vacation
was devoted to the excavation Of
lake into which flowed a river having
its course under a distant hose con-
nection. 1t was September before
the water could be turned in and the
building of RATS began.
