FREIGHT MOVING NOW.

Notwithstanding that the railways of the
country have not yet had time to recover from
the manhandLing they received during the war
they are doing wonders in freight movement
Records set before the war are going by the
board and we may soon see more drop.
According TO the report OF the Railway Elk
ecutives' association. the movement for Sep
TENDER was a little more than forty billion ton
miles, which was nearly a record, having been
exceeded only by the movement in August,
which set mark for all time, nearly two bill
lion tons more than that for September
These figures afford evidence that the roads
are rapidly recovering their efficiency under the
more expert handling of private control They
are also evidence that falling prices and bust
ness disturbances do not necessarily indicate
wholesale cessation of production, buying or
selling as some would have US believe
One of the very real advantages to be gained
from the elimination Of the excess profits tax
and the sinplifcation Of the others will be to
expedite the actual receipt Of tax money by the
treasury 1t is asserted that there are at the
present time back taxes due the government to
the extent of several hzlndrd million dollars. AS
the returns are audited at the treasury those ar
rears are being paid at the rate Of about forty
million dollars month, but the audit has ex-
tended only to the end Of the year 1917 Tho
completely of the present tax laws is respon-
sible for that condition. The money will even
tually reach the treasury, but IN the mean time
the government is denied its use and the re
ceipts from other taxes must be used IN its
place.

ALLIED NANIONS TO
 IMPOSE BLOCKADE
WILL ASSIST POLAND BUT MAKE NO PLAN TO SEND TROOPS
 TO HELP.

Hythe.-What is equivalent to a state of war exists between the allied governments and Soviet Russia as a result of the Hythe conference, but there is still one hope of peace.
 If Russia shows a reasonable dispo- sitfon at the Minsk conference soon the war preparations now under way will be stopped and negotiations may be reopened.
 French. and British statesmen dis cussed the situation The original plan for the French to leave was aban- doned and the session was held Lloyd George left at the same time to attend the special cabinet meeting at which his statement to Parliament will be discussed
 It is announced officially that the allies are in complete agreement re garding what action is to be taken in regard to the Polish situation, sub ject in the case of Great Britain to the approval of Parliament. Until af ter the premiers statement no furth er official announcement will be made
 am able to state on authority, how evers that the allies decided to sup port the Poles with technical ad vice, army officers, munitions and g naval blockade. There is no intention to employ any allied troops and toe much stress cannot be laid on this feature, in view of the people Of both Great Britain and France
 The British statesmen made uI their minds that the efforts they have been making for the last four months to induce the Russian government to come to terms with the rest of the world are futile and that they are dealing with fanatics with whom bar gaining is impossible.
 They are now determined to sup port the Poles and prevent the crush ing of the new nation, for whose ere ation, under the treaty of Versailles they are responsible.
 It is definitely decided that the out come of the struggle must depend, in large measure, on the fighting qual. ity of the Poles They have plenty of men and material, and it is hoped that with allied leadership and finan- cial and industrial help they will be able to save their nation from ex tinctiou.
 That there is some hope for peace however, is evidenced by the decision to allow Krassin and Kamenoff, Rus sian cnvoys, to remain in England un. til after the result of the Minks' meet. ing is learned

POLISH RETREAT
 BECOMES A R0UT
TERRIBLE REVERsEs DUE TO IN ABILITY TO DIRECT HER
 NARROWER.

Paris. - Polan's terrible reverse which has permitted the crimson de- luge to sweep to the gates of Warsaw, the Polish capital, was due to the ab- sence of ability properly to organize. to maintain or to direct the mobilized manpower of the nation at war with soviet Russia.
 Responsibility for the crushing de- feat cannot be charged to the Polish soldier. Generally he has done his duty well, has in fact often accom- plished more than soldiers of some other nations could have done. There is not the slightest doubt that the Polish soldier has as an individual done all that could be expected of him. To have done more than he has done would have been impossible.
 The common Polish soldier spirited ly and tirelessly for a time accom- plished the tasks assigned him, but eventually he broke down under the superhuman strain. His morale went to pot and, dog tired, his principal thought became self preservation. He found this in flight
 This explains why there has been so little fighting comparatively and such short casualty lists considering the numbers of men involved along the rapidly narrowing Busso-Polish front, which gradually has been mov- ing westward for nearly three months.
 It is not warfare as warfare was known in France. Warfare as it is in Poland has been simplif1ed almost beyond the belief of one who has not seen it. The Bolshevist advance is 1n no sense a pursuit The Poles simply evacuate a town and the Reds come along and occupy it, their ad- vance guards usually avoiding con tact with the nearest Polish troops. Instead they follow at a respectful dis tance and let it go at that.
 At intervals some Polish unit makes a stand and then there are casualties. Or fresh unit coming in- to line attacks the town and almost invariably capture it, only to find that to cling to the position would mean isolation and capture.

PEOPLE FIGHT FOR STANDING ROOM ON TRAINS LEAVING
 THE CITY.
POLES ARE IN STRONGHOLD
Concentration and Resrouping of Pol. ish Forces For Extensive Counter stroke On the Entire Warsaw
 Front Is Reported.

Warsaw.-A feeling of intense ap. prehension has spread through the city as reports circulated that the enemy is gradually drawing nearer and is attempting huge encircling movement. Crowds are striving to leave the city by all available means, carts, automobiles and a few remain ing trains.
 Difficulties are increased by the absence of any statement from the government as to what is to be done. There is absolutely no arrangements to look after individuals seeking to escape from the threatened envelop- ment The foreign legations are gone, so that foreigners must shift for them selves. People fight for standing room on the trains, or for places on the roofs of cars, or for the privilege of hanging on to the car couplings.
 Concentration and regrouping of the Polish forces for an extensive counter-stroke on the entire Warsaw front is reported. The plans are, it is said, to begin this counter-move with ing a few days. Military men express the opinion that this is a propitious time to strike back in an effort to drive of the soviet forces which are endeav- bring to encirc1e the capital
 Although Polish forces have aban- doned the town of Ostrolenka, they hold their positions between the Ma rev and Bug rivers, and are sufficient ly strong to defend Warsaw in that direction. The evacuation of Ostro- lenka, however, involves a regrouping of the Polish forces along the middle reaches of the Bug river, where they are retreating toward the river Li- wise, east of Warsaw.
 A long stream of Poles have forfeit ed positions which extend along a line more than 30 miles from Warsaw.
 Soviet cavalry involved in the oper- ation north of the Narew river is re- ported not strong enough either to at tempt to force a passage to Vistula or even seriously to threaten the Thorn region.
