port-Refuses to Give Out

PARIS.-General Weygand, who ar.
rived from Poland Monday. reported
to Premier Millerand his observations
on the Polish battle front. He expects
to rejoin Marshal Foch in Brittany
soon. They will discuss the Polihs
military situation.
1t is understood General Weygand
believes the bolshevik armies are un-
able to launch a return offensive
against the Poles this winter. Gen.
eral Roswadosd, chief of staff under
General Pilsudski, the Polish leader,
said Sunday in Warsaw that the
bolsheviki. with Is fresh divisions
were preparing in grand style for an
offensive in eastern Galicia and that
military operations soon would be re-
opened.
General Destricker, who met Gen
eral Weygand in Paris as the repre-
sentative of Marshal Foch and may be
said to reflect the opinion of the
French high command, discussing the
Polish situation here Monday said:
las far as this winter is concerned
the Poles have no need to fear an at
tack by the bolsheviki. But next
spring If peace is not concluded, So
Wet offensive is possible and even
probable. Don't forget that Russia is
a vast reservoir of men. Until spring,
however, Poland has nothing to fear
Although General Weygand, since
his arrival, has made numerous dec
larations in praise of the Polish arm
les, he refuses to prophesy or to give
any information on the military sit
uation.

PARIS.-Between now and Novem-
ber II the fate of Paul Deschanel,
president of the French republic, will
be decided. Even If the presidents
life is spared until that date there is
now little prospect that he will con-
tinue as the head of the republic.
Alarmist reports are in circulation
that the presidents end may even
come within month. Deschanel can
see visitors in his sick room for half
an hour, but no more. At the end of
this period he relapses into his state
of melancholia. He complains that he
is being spied upon, that he has been
watched by policemen and surrounded
by angry dogs.
The president tells his visitors that
the locks Of his doors have been
changed or that the wrong keys have
been given him to prevent his going
out. Some of these precautions have
in fact been taken. When Deschanel
is seized with one of his fits it is
impossible to tell what he may do.
He is possessed with the idea that
he must end his life and there is great
fear that any day he may elude the
watchers which have been set over
him and succeed in carrying out his
threat of suicide
According to the French constitu
tion. Deschanel must preside at the
national fete which is to be held No

Favorable growing conditions are
featured by the August summary of
business conditions on the Pacific
coast, issued this week by the federal
reserve bank of San Francisco.
Prospects for good crops in all Sec
tions of the IL federal reserve dis
tricts have improved except in some
of the dry farming sections of the
intermountain region and in parts of
the wheat region in Washington,
where lack of rain has slightly retard-
ed development.
The United States bureau OF crop
estimates now predicts that this dis.
trict will produce 99,444,000 bushels
of wheat this year. This IL 3,80O,0 900
bushels less than the July prediction,
but it is only2,564.000 bushels less
than the record crop OF 1919, and ap-
proximately 25.00O,000 bushels greater
than any crop prior to 1919.
Steer Clear Of Contracts.
Earlier. in the. season, some, wheat
was contracted for at from $3.50 to
$3.50 a bushel. At present a few con-
tracts are being made between $40
and $2.25 a bushel, with growers show.
ing disposition to refrain from sell
ing at any figure under $2.25. At this
time last year. contracts we're being
freely made at the government guar.
anteed price of $3.50 a bushel.
A good export demand is reported
In the Pacific northwest and exporters
are reported to have chartered a suf
ficient number of ships to handle all
stocks they anticipate receiving in
September and October.
Yields of field crops other than
wheat will probably exceed those oi

an especially hard time during the
night in fighting the flames. Its work
was rendered hideous by the constant
rattle of machine guns. The Sim
Feiners were In strong force and ap.
peared to be well supplied with arms
and ammunition.
The greatest of bitterness was dis
played during the fighting. There
was great amount Of wrecking Of
houses and the burning Of furniture
indoors and in the street. The yells
of the mob, shrieks Of women an6
children and groans of the injured
were audible. When the rioting was
at its worst, women could be seen. II
