NORTH AND SOUTH
 . IRELAND TO STAGE AN ECONOMIC WAR
Will Probably Be Next Move to Add to Already Great Embarrassment
 of the Country
By Associated Pres,

Dublin, August 3.-Indications of an out break of economic war between north and south Ireland are increasing as a result of the expulsion of Catholic work mer from shipyards and other industrial concerns in the north by their Protestant fellow workers. It is thought In some quarters that this will be the next move to add to the already great embarrass. ments of the country, Some western towns already are threatening boycott against Belfast goods. it is said, and there is danger of this policy spreading i into other trades, including the banking system, which hitherto has been one of the few bonds between the north and south. Ulster, especially, fears this ac- ton, much of the capital which sup ports northern industries comes from the south
 The Irish Times points out that such a
 boycott is quite practical as southern and western Ireland are better organized now than at any other time in their his
 tory.
 The boycott says the newspaper,
 would inflame political strife and would began many departments of industry. Ut would prove that the rest of Ireland cannot dispense with Belfast any more than Belfast for all it's trade and self dependence, can dispense with the rest
 os Ireland. "

Poles Preparing Barbed Wire Defenses in Front of Warsaw, Where People
 Do Not Realize Danger
By Associated Press

Warsaw, August 3. - The breaking off of the negotiations between the Poles and the bolsheviki out of which, it had been hoped, would come an armistice and the early cessa- ton of hostilities was due to a misunderstanding, according to the contention of the Russian soviet authorities in a wireless dispatch received here today.
 The latest communication from the soviet suggests that negotiations, both for an armistice and for peace, be held in Minsk Wednesday.
 It asks that the Poles send delega tion to Minsk invested with all the necessary credentials to negotiate for peace.
 The Poles contend that it will be a physical impossibility for them to com ply with this proposal.
 While the Polish delegates are re- tracing their steps homeward from Baranovitchi, where the conference with the bolsheviki ended so abruptly the bolshevik troops are reported eV- anywhere to be pressing their attacks on the entire battle line from the East Prussian front on the north to the re- zion adjacent to Lemberg, in Galicia on the south.
 Inside the great battle arc the Poles are hurriedly preparing defenses, par ticularly trenches and barbed wire en- tanglements in front of Warsaw.
