INTEND TO HELP
BOLSHEVIKI
Certain Elements in Ger
many Are Reported to
Be So Minded
UPPER SILESIA is
A DANGER POINT
Germans Have Been Haul
ing Ammunition into
Silesia

Warsaw, May 20 (By the Associated
Press .---Information indicating that
some elements in Germany are deter
mined to help the Russian bolsheviki
continues to be received here, it is said
in military circles. The latest report
is regarding Upper Silesia, where Ger
man armed forces have been assembling
on the border of the plebiscite area.
Newspapers here to-day published des'
patches stating that 1000 security
guards had arrived in Upper Silesia by
special train.
For weeks, it is declared, Germans
have been hauling ammunition into
Silesia, hiding it beneath beets in rail-
road cars. Military authorities say the
Germans are advertising their troop
movements in this region for the pur-
pose of compelling the Poles to trans
fer forces from the east and thus
weaken the bolshevik front.
Warsaw papers recently printed re.
ports that eight Zeppelins had crossed
Poland headed eastward, and army
headquarters afterwards confirmed this
information. There is much speculation
as to whether the Zeppeiins bore officers
en- route to join the bolsheviki or were
carrying away men named Tor extra
dition by the allies.
General Alexis A. Brusilof, former
commander in.chief of Russian armies,
Ia understood to have assumed command
of the bolshevik offensive against Po-
land. In Polish military circles they
say the soviet attack is designed TO
oyerrun Lithuania and extend the
bolshevik front westward to East
Prussia.
Military authorities here declare vast
stores of munitions and supplies have
arrived in East Prussia in anticipation
of break in the Polish front before
the bolshevik offensive.
Fighting continues along the north
ern sectors of the front, but all soviet
attacks have been repulsed aolng the
upper branches of the Derensina river,
according to announcement.

NO, U. S. WON'T
AID IN KEEPING
SUGAR COST up
Spectators and Profteers are
Bumped By the Sudden
Drop.

Washington, Sept. S.-"The de-
partment of justice will do nothing
to keep the price of sugar up. 1t
would be a violation OF the Sher-
man act and the Lever law for 1t
to do SO. Furthermore, H. N. B.
Floyd, who stated in New York
that the government would help the
wholesalers and refiners prevent a
further tumble in prices, will be
called upon the carpet. He was un-
authorized to make such an asser-
ton"
This statement was made by Rob-
ert T. Scott, private secretary to
Attorney General Palmer. 1t was
in regard to a statement of Floyd,
a special agent OF the departments
New York flying squadron" which
ID supposed to be running down
profiteers. After attending a meet
ing Of refiners and wholesalers in
New York, Floyd stated that the
government would assist the sugar
dealers in preventing a further
great drop in price.
Bottom Drops Out.
The bottom has fallen out of
sugar prices and a further decline
seems certain.
A few days ago sugar was selling
wholesale at "a cents a pound, and
one eastern refner, who has
ceased to operate on account Of
high prices. got an unexpected sup
ply from Cuba and Immediately
dropped the price to 20k cents.
Three western refiners followed
suit and now sugar is retailing in
many cities for Is cents a pound
Spectators and profiteers got
bumped.
The sudden drop caused a panic
among the big sugar dealers and
they hurriedly called meeting.
F1oyd's statement followed.
Shipments Cause Decline.
tits this departments business
to lower prices, not help increase
them," stated Scott.
The sharp decline in sugar prices
is caused, principally. by large
shipments of sugar received from
Argentina CzechO-Slovakia and
other countries.
High prices in America caused
sugar to flow here.
Also, up to July Is the people
had absorbed sugar at the rate Of
10000 pounds per year, As against
the previous high record for 1919
of 8O.43 pounds.
J. G. Weatherly, department Of
Justice sugar expert, said this indi
Gated the people had sugar stocks
about IS pounds per family for
the nation.
People Quit Buying.
The people quit buying and now
the supply is much greater than
the demand. Hoarders OF sugar
Imay lose millions as . result Of the
decline. Many wholesalers and re-
tailers are unloading sugar below
cost in anticipation Of q further de-
cline.
| ut has been called to the de-
Ipartment's action" said Scott,
that some redners are holding Gus
TONERS to contracts made at high
Iprices. II it il found that this is a
violation OF the Lever law they will
be prosecuted"
/ Another thing that broke the
price was the fact that many can
ners and housewives refused to
make preserves and jams at high
prices.
