avenue of retreat.
Down this road the reds are bolt

horses in their possession. The fact
that they have horses is said to &C
count for the comparatively small
number of prisoners being taken by
the Poles Pursuing French airplanes,
however, have prevented the enemy
from taking with him many guns and

sheviki divisions have been cut to
pieces and all their guns captured.
The Polish right wing. advancing
from the south is now before the
forts of Brest Litovsk, and part of 1t
has crossed the Bug River in the dt
rection of Kovel thus providing a
safeguard against flank counter at
tacks. Polish forces In this region
are supported by a Ukrainian division
and General Balachowicz's Russian
volunteer army, which had remained
in Poleseia, east of Brest-Litovsk and
to the rear of the bolsheviki
This, it is pointed out, leaves the
bolsheviki garrison of Brest-Litovsk
virtually cut off ON all sides.
Warsaw-The Polish offensive is
now in full swing. More than 10000
prisoners, 80 cannon, 800 machine
guns and thousands of supply carts
have been captured from the bolshev-
Xxi. The Poles have occupied Pultusk
and Wyskow, through which the reds
drove in their sweep toward the CAPT
tai.
Owing to the Polish pressure from
the northeast, it is reported that the
bolsheviki are withdrawing their
forces which raided the VstuIa, south
of the Prussian border and to the
northwest of Warsaw.
The Warsaw sector Is rapidly being
cleared of the bolsheviki. North and
northeast of the capital the reds are
being showed back by the Poles, who
are following them up all along the
front, using artillery in such quanti-
ties as to cause great confusion among
the invaders who are now on the run.
To the east the bolsheviki are re-
ported to be making their way across
the Bug at various points.
Siedlece was taken by the Poles
early Wednesday.
General Baron Wrangel, the anti
bolshevik leader in South Russia, has
been recognized by the various tribes
in Southern Russia as the head of the
Russian government with full military
and diplomatic powers, according to a

D. s. NEEDS IL TO
7 IA MILLION CARS
David Jameson, President Of
A. A. A., Estimates Replace
ments at 100000 Yearly.

The American motor ear stands first
to-day in the worlds industries in fin
lshed products, according to David
Jameson. president of the American
Automobile Association. Nearly eight
million cars are in daily service and
che actual .-v-sts Of America are from
twelve million to fourteen million cars.
Mr.. jameson estimates.
The automobile has enhanced the
efficiency of man and the wealth of
all suburban and rural communities,
he said. "Replacements to keep as many
cars as are needed in service will re-
quire 100000 year. This is more than
are built to-day. So swift was the
ascendency of the automobile that II
has been almost impossible to adjust
O general intelligent understanding of
Its place.
When only a few thousand cars
were in service business men-sound,
successful business men-predicted early
'saturation.' That is to say the auto
mobile market would quickly exhaust
itself because OF the limited number of
men with means to buy.
They spoke truly for their day But
the penalty of sound men, and, per-
haps. their strength, is sometimes the
lack of fluid imagination. The auto
mobile created for millions of men the
wealth to buy millions of automobiles.
To-day we know there is no such
thing as q saturation point. Men ac-
knowledge the automobile shares only
with the telephone its place as the lead
ing utility of the age. 1t gives 70 per-
sonal transportation what the telephone
gives to personal communication.

sition results not SO much from the
energy and enterprise of automobile
builders as from the compulsion aof an
economic demand. as strong as primal
force, for quicker, more flexible trans
