Warsaw, May s. TOday's
Warsaw newspapers print the
Moscow wireless dispatch sent
out Friday afternoon, saying
the Poles have entered kiev.
No announcement to this ef.
feet, however, has been made
in official quarters here. The
latest c0mmunique states that
NasilkOv. 20 miles south Of
kiev. has been captured.
London, May S.-Polish and
Ukranian troops captured kiev on
Thursday night. said an official
statement issued at Moscow yes
terday and received here by wire
less.
The text of the statement says:
In the kiev region, during the
night of May 6-7. our troops en-
gagged superior enemy forces
northwest and southwest of kiey.
Toward evening, the enemy broke
into the outskirts of the town, but
were held up by our counter
attacks. Later our troops, in ac-
cordance with orders. started to
withdraw in order to the left bank
of the Dnieper river"
Repulse Polish Aattack.
"In the direction of Pptaloff our
troops repulsed an enemy advance
2S miles south of krasnyia. In the
direction OF lgumen feast Of Minsk)
the enemy attempted to cross the
Berens;na river near Beresina viii
lage, but was driven back across
the river
Reports that kiev had fallen
were current in Warsaw on Mon
day of this week, but developments
showed these reports were erron-
eous. Today's soviet advices seem
to leave no room for doubt that the
Polish campaign has at least been
successful.

campaign are two days old, the
dispatch received this morning,
having been filed in the Polish
capital at $50 p. m. on Thursday.
Available reports in Warsaw. In
dicated that the fight for the ap-
proaches to the city was still in
progress Thursday.
In Many Changes.
Kiev. city of 100000 or more
population, is the capital OF the
Ukraine. The town has changed
hands several times during the
fighting between contending groups
in the Ukrainian territory and the
conflict between the Denikine
forces and the bolsheviki. The lat
ter have been in possession OF 1t
since last December.
(Kjev, in addition to its import
ance to the Ukraine as its chief
city, has also been looked upon
from the entente side as valuable
outpost at strategic point against
the advance of bOlshevism in
Central Europe, along the extended
line stretching from the Baltic to
the Black Seal.

Washington, May S.-A minimum
of $500 ii year is necessary for
the support of an American family
of five, w. Jet Lauck, consulting
economist for the Railway Brother
hoods. asserted today before the
railroad labor board. Mr.. Lauck,
who yesterday charged corporate
pro6teers with being chiefly respon-
sible for present living costs, pre-
sented today a demand on behalf
of the 100000 railway employees
for the establishment of minimum
wage throughout the industry. He
presented to the board compila
ton of budgets on the cost of liv-
ing based on studies made under
his supervision and by federal and
state agencies.
Even in .DeceRt Poverty"
1T is impossible" he said, for
a family of five in the United States
to maintain itself even in decent
poverty under existing conditions
for penny less than $500 a
year"
His estimate. he said, was sup
ported by government agencies.
The estimate for May, he insisted.
should be S2.5333
Mr. Lauck declared that ''the fun
damental cause of all economic in
stability. all industrial unrest, all
Interruptions OF production and
distribution has been high prices
and profiteering by organized capt.
tai and middle men and retailers" !"
Asks Speedy Action.
In concluding he requested that
the board curtail its examination
Of wage data and proceed immedi-
ately to the determination of the
question Of what constitutes a liy
ing wage.

Car of Pea Seed for Local Farm
orS

County Agent Wade yesterday
received a ear Of pea seed, which
is to be distributed among Lewis
county farmers and used by then
in general test as the practical
ity Of peas as summerfallow
crop on the prairie. The success
thus far attained here with peas
as a rotation for wheat or barley
puts their general use beyond
question. and with the results fol-
lowing the seeding Of this car
shipment, it is very probably peas
will shortly become one Of the
staple products Of the prairie.
Mr.. Wade has also just receiv-
ed a consignment of eight pure
bred Poland China hogs to be dis
tributed among the members of
the Boys and Girls Pig Clubs.
