DECLARE NO LAW NEEDED.
Germans Say League Terms Auto
Abolish Compulsory Army

Berlin, June 3.-It is semi officially
announced that no law will be enacted
abolishins compulsory military service,
which is demanded by the peace treaty
because the national assembly's ac-
ceptance of the treaty automatically
rescinds the former compulsory regu-
lations. This explanation has been is
sued in view of the allegations that
Germany is not carrying out the provi-
sions of the peace treaty.
1t is also announced that the min
istry of defense will%issue decree
forbfdding discharged soldiers to carry
service arms and hand grenades.
This order is somewhat belated, as
according to reports. thousands of dis
charged men all over the country in
agricultural occupations are in pos
session of their full army outfits.

"Coroner's Cocktail" Deaths Here

'NOrOnefS s COcktal Deaths Here
Harry Green, 1925 North Kansas
avenue, was being detained by county
authorities today pending the coroners
inquest over the deaths of Lenier
Throwbridge, 1911 North Monroe
street. and William Galen Sanders,
1927 North Polk
Green confessed Tuesday to bring
ing to Topeka a bottle of some con-
coction he had taken from his fathers
barber supply house in Lincoln. Neb.
1t is believed to have caused the deaths
of the two North Topeka young men
Tuesday night. DR.. o. F. Narcotic,
county coroner. will hold the inquest
at o'clock Friday morning, it was
stated today.
Green, Ray Busey and Virgil Petree,
the three surviving members of the
drinking escapade, were called to the
office of County 4 Attorney Fisher
Tuesday afternoon. There they told
of drinking the concoction, now
thought to have contained cologne,
with grape juice, pop and ginger ale,
they said. e
A1tho the drink made Green, Petree
and Busey i'll. according to their stor-
les, it did not seem to affect them seri-
ously 1t is thought probable that
Throwbridge and Sanders drank more
of the liquor than the other three.
County Attorney Fisher said today
that Green will be held on a charge
of bringing Intoxicating liquor into the
state. 1t is improbable a man
slaughter charge will be placed against
him, it was said. altho this will de-
pend largely upon the evidence sub
mitted at the inquest tomorrow morn

Russian Reds, Whipped in the
Field, Agree to Armistice
With the Poles.
SUBMIT TO ALL DEMANDS
Soviet Forces May Concentrate Against
Wranoel-Pesce In Ireland Nearer
Some Late Developments In
Our Presidential Campaign.
BY EDWARD w. PIcKARp.

Thoroughly whipped by the Poles.
the Russian Bolsheviki have signed an
armistice with their opponents, and on
October IA hostillties are supposed TO
cease. The full terms agreed upon at
Riga have not yet been given TO the
public, but enough has been told to
show that Poland has won virtually
all her contentious. NJ Joffe. head of
the Russian delegation, was in no po-
sition TO refuse anything within rea-
son and indeed he had been instruct
ed to accept almost any terms the
Poles might offer.
The western boundary line Of soviet
Russia was the main matter under
discussion. and this was settled entire
" in favor Of the Poles. according to
reports from Riga. The line is placed
so far east that Lithuania is cut off en-
tirely from Russia. and Poland is
given corridor between those two
countries. The boundary agreed upon
begins east Of Dvinsk. runs south
through Baranovitchi. Luniniets and
Sarny. and virtually along the German
line of 1915 10 the Roumanian frontier.
The Poles have asserted repeatedly
that the Lithuanians have been fight
Ing alongside the Russians. and this
boundary settlement should. therefore,
go far In bringing about a peaceful
agreement between Poland and Lithu-
ania; when that Is accomplished the
Poles will he free to turn their atten-
ton TO the establishment OF their own
government and the development Of
their country. They have agreed to be
neutral In the Ukraine. where the So
Wet and Petlura forces are fighting.
and Russia gives up all claims to east
ern Galicia.
II Is asserted by some correspond
ents that Dombski. head of the Polish
mission at Riga, was moved to hurry
up the agreement with the Russians
by the admonitions of the British am
bassador In Warsaw and also by the
movements Of HIS political opponent,
Prince Sapieha. In addition. say these
correspondents. the liberal Dombski
element In Poland. is somewhat
alarmed by the successes of Baron
Wrangel in southern Russia; consider
ing that the restoration OF the old
Russian empire would constitute a
great danger to Poland. Many experts
believe that a Russo-Polish peace will
result in the crushing Of Wrangel and
his armies. II is taken for granted
that the soviet government will at
once concentrate its efforts on the
Crimean front
