LONDON, Aug. 25.-Whether most
Of Europe again will be involved in
war was expected today to be decid-
ed within forty-eight hours.
Russia has until Friday evening to
reply to the Anglo-Italian note de-
manding modification of her peace
terms to Poland. Premier Lloyd
George has informed the bolsheviki,
through Arthur Balfour, lord presi-
dent of the council, that unless salts
factory reply is forthcoming within
the time limit, Great Britain will
change it's policy toward Russia.
Committed to the same action as
Crest Britain is italy, France and pcs
sibly Belgium. In the event of re-
sumption Of hostilities on a major
scale, the Germans may become par
TALLY involved, since the sentiment of
the German populations bordering en-
Poland is frankly pro Russian. Off
cials of East Prussia are reported to
have asked for volunteers to aid the
reds and according to some advices,
no steps have been taken to intern the
thousands Of Russians who fled into
East Prussia to escape capture.
The bolshevik representatives,
Kameneff and Krassin, have already
applied for their passports and expect
to leave London on Friday in the event
their government fails to accede to
the ententes demands. Both con-
tend that Lloyd-George was fully in
formed regarding the bolshevih
terms to Poland and only seized upon
the red proposal for creation Of civil
militia in Poland as safe pretext up
on which to join with France.
AS word was awaited from Moscow,
the Minsk cores pondent Of the Her
aid telegraphed that the Polish arm
istice delegates have definitely reject
ed the Russian terms, refusing even
to discuss disarmament, demobiliza-
ton or creation of civil militia. The
next session Of the commission was
expected to be the final one, the cor.
respondent said.
Allies are Ready.
If the bolsheviki refuse to modify
their terms as demanded by the allies,
military and naval plans already ar
ranged by the latter will be put into
execution Immediately, it is believed
in semi-official circles here. The Brit
ish navy is understood to- be ready TO
establish a blockade within twelve
hours. At the same time steps would
be taken to brush aside the oppo5l-
ton of German harbor workers IN
Danzig and throw that port open TO
landing of munitions.
1t was predicted in well informed
circles this afternoon that the Poles
,,d puccians wOuld abandon the cX-
IRENE terms they were trying to en-
force upon each other and adopt
more moderate tone.
The reds, it was reported, hah al
ready given up their demand for ere
alton of proletariat militia IN for
and, but this was unconhrmeo'

Leroy, alias Oscar Fernandez, alias

the wrong man was being held.

A MENACE TO COUNTRY
LIFE.


disaster to our country towns?
On doing this wilr they also
bring ruin upon themselves?
In accomplishing both of these
will they become a menace even
to the stability Of the republics
There is grave danger that al
of these may happen.
A few years ago in any city
woman could be secured to clean
house for $3.50 or $500 a day
Now they receive as high as $4.W
a day and three meals.
In the factories, on the rail.
roads. in the offices, behind the
counters, everywhere the same
story is told in the big cities
Wages are mounting and the
amount of work accomplished in
a day is decreasing.
Profteering in clothing and
other necessities and Injuries of
life fourishes unchecked. There
is no diminishing Of this crime
because city people have gone in
sane on the subject of spending.
Merchants have made the bald
statement that they have offered
excellent articles at moderate
prices only to have them reJe ated
by the buyers as too cheap"
Unable to dispose of then, they
they have tagged the same artl-
cles at double the price and they
have beer Immediately snapped
up by the profigate spenders.
We might fill iii, columns of
this paper with such cases and
still tell only a small portion of
the story.
This riotous use of money in
the cities is having an injurious
effect upon country life. It is en-
ticing our young men and young
women from us and is leaving the
rural communities stranded for
help. 1t is forcing us to pay ex-
orbitant prices for commodities
when we are curtailed in our own
power of production and in our
earning capacity.
The false lure Of sudden wealth
is proving too much for the
country boy and girl. They are
forsaking their happy and peace
full homes and are rushing in
droves to the call of the cities
gone mad.
The bubble has been inflated
almost to the bursting point. It
cannot forever stand the increas-
ing strain. In time it must col
lapse.
Already city banks are curtail-
ing their loans for building pur-
poses. 1t is necessary to stop the
alarming initiation of fictitious val
ues. Following this will come
cessation Of activity in the build
ing trades, with $1,000 a day
laborers looking for jobs that are
not to be had.
Similar conditions may be ex-
pected in other lines, with money
becoming tighter as work ceases.
Added to this will be the scare
Ity Of food. If farmers lose their
help they can not produce the
food necessary to feed the cities
and the country towns.
A country town is dependent
largely upon the farming COM
nunity adjacent to it. If those
farms become non-productive for
lack 70 help the country town is
heavy sufferer. |
And that is the condition in /,
which we fear we will soon find |
ourselves in the country towns.
The insanity of the cities has
lone its work only too well.
