 In various parts of the country there are organized% hunting parties, consisting of the membtrs of hunt clubs and oth- CTS, who beat the wooded country in search of reds the same as for deer and wild boars..Y
 General Phsudsk has issued an ap. peal to the peasants to aid the army and urges the peasants to make prisoners ir all eases and turn them over to the soldiers. The military authorities de clare that since the Polish offensive be- gan about a week ago more than 5O, O0C prisoners have been taken.
 The Poles continue to exploit theil victory in a most skiufuI manner. The bolshevik northern army, even should il be able to cut its way eastward, will find it's road barred by President PiIsud- skis forces, who have reached Bialystol by a rapid march.
 The bolsheviki, however, are active ulSLeI ut' the bug, notaply Tn the regIor of Wlodawa 72 miles southeast ot Siedlce.
 So far it has been plain sailing for the Poles, in the opinion of the military ob- servers, but it is declared further devei opment of the operations involved a cer. tain danger for the Poles, who will be obliged to extend their front consider. ably. It is pointed out that it was sucf an extension of front which placed the Poles in a position of inferiority at the time of the bolshevik offensive.

FINDS WRECK WAS NOT
 DUE TO CARELESSNESs

New Haven, Conn, Aug. 24.-Acting Coroner Kenneth Wynne, who has been investigating the wreck of the Spring field express train near Meriden on Sat urday, which caused the loss. of two lives and injury of a dozen persons, said to- night that it was his opinion that the de railment was not due to any carelessness or oversight on the part, of railroad en- ployes nor to defective equipment
 The rails had not spread in the least tthe point where the wheels left the track" he said. Ties and roadbed were nproper condition after the wreck. There is nothing to indicate that a brake beam dropped. It appears that something may have beene on the track, as there is scar on the rail at the point where the wheels first slid off, and this is repeated a little further on. This fact leads to the opinion that nut or spike was on the rail.
 The public utilities commission has completed its investigation and I will fin- 1sh mine in short time. I am informed that the interstate commerce commission is planning to investigate this wreck"
