The Russian bolshevic blow against
Poland, although delivered go divi-
sions strong, has not been decisive. In
tense fighting has been in progress
along the entire Polish front. with the
reds making slight gains in some Sec.
tors and suffering defeat in others.
Taking into consideration the sue
cesses of General Wrangel In Crimea,
the balance has been strongly against
the soviet armies. Wrangel is report
ed to have recovered $4,000 square
miles and to have liberated 100000
people in his drive. His losses are
given as $500 dead and wounded,
while more than 10000 red prisoners
alone have been taken. Polish repre-
sentatives in the United States are
sanguine of an early peace with the
Russians and the commencement of a
period of reconstruction.

Hopes of suffragists for a ratifica-
ton of the federal amendment In time
to permit women to vote in the COM
ing presidential election are now
pinned on the action of the. legislature
of Tennessee, and, that falling, upon
the North Carolina legislature. Gov
ernor Roberts of the former state, in
response to a request from President
Wilson, has announced that he will
call special session of the legislature
in plenty of time to act on the amend
ment. Governor Beckett of North
Carolina, who received a similar re-
quest from the president, has reiterat-
ed his purpose of advising a special
session in his state to ratify the
amendment. Gov. P. w. Clements of
Vermont, although strongly urged by
suffrage leaders to call special ses-
sion has not definitely stated that he
is contemplating action.

of croSS-country campaigning, but
President Wilson, vigorous though he
was, fell victim to 1t. His experience
has been warning. The feeling has
grown that If the president is to have
any vitality for the affairs of his Of

election.
Nominee Harding will revive the
old-fashioned, political lawn party. His
front yard at Marion will draw the
feet of the faithful quite as famously
as Mahomet's. shrine at Mecca attracts
another kind of faithful. Senator
Harding and his running mate, Cover
nor Coolidge, have recently been maxi
ing speeches into the photograph.
Many thousands of the wax reproduc-
lions will be distributed by the nation
al committee. Democratic managers
undoubtedly will adopt the plan. Add
to your grand opera. jazz Harry Lau-
der and Bert Williams records one of
your favorite candidate. Nothing is so
likely to promote good feeling on these
warm, mosquito-infested summer eve
nings as the injection, through your
open easement into your neighbours
ear, of a photographic speech. 1t will
assist his slumbers, especially if he
belongs to the opposing party.
Senator Harding's first speech,
which has been given to the press and
will be heard by millions after July 4
through the monograph, keynotes
on Amcricanism. He does not mention
specifically the treaty of Versailles,
but assails all international contriv-
ances which imperiI American SOW
ereignty. He asserts that we should
rejoice in an American conscience and
in big conception of our obligations
to liberty, justice and civilization. but
that we should hesitate before any
course likely to cause a surrender of
nationality; also, tat it is very prac-
teal to make sure our own home is in
perfect order before we attempt that
which he regards as a miracle of world
sterilization. Governor Coolidge adj
vocates a return to the faith Of Abra-
ham Lincoln In the people and con-
fidence that the government is found
ed on righteousness. He advocates
law and order and the cultivation of
industry, thrift and character, and
says that we are advancing toward a
day when, in our industrial life, equal
honor shall fall to equal endeavor. He
also asserts that duty is collective as
well as personal and that government
cannot relieve from toll. Senator
Harding. in an interview, announces
that the Republican campaign will be
based upon an appeal for the restora-
ton of party government and the over
throw of personal rule. These pro-
nouncements may be characterized as
the opening guns Of the campaign.

The war of. France, England and
Greece against the Turkish national
lists commanded. by Mustapha Renal
Pasha, officially began with the Greek
advance from Smyrna in Asia Minor
to line eastward and northward be-
yond Soma, Akhissar, Ala-Shehr and
Kelas. The most important operation
was at Ala-Shehr (ancient Philadel-
phia), where the Greek official state
ment claims the taking of 5000 prison
ers with many guns and other booty.
The position Of the allied and oppos-
ing forces is roughly outlined as a thin
rectangIe extending from the vicinity
Of Aleppo in Cilicia through Anatolia
to Ismid, near Constantinople. The
forces Of the Turkish leader are
spread along the northern side Of this
rectangle and those of the Greeks are
concentrated in the Smyrna area on
the southern side, their west wing on
the British and their east wing on the
French. The plan Of attack is said to
be an advance of the Greeks against
Mustapha Kemal's front, an advance
by the French from the east and the
British from the west, hoping by this
converging movement to pen Renal In
Anatolia and force his surrender. The
Greeks are also reported to have a
force at Panderma, on the south coast
of the Sea Of Marmora, intending to
operate toward Smyrna. French
cruisers Smelling positions and villages
are reported to have repulsed Turk at
tacks at Adana, Tarsus and Mersina.
Evacuation Of Americans from Adana
to Cypress has begun.

when you tell them that my children
are the prettiest, but it cannot be
helped. Some one must have the pret-

eye can see that mine are far ahead

Mr. Fox smiled sickly smile when
he heard this and said, of course, he
would be proud and pleased to be the
judge, but as soon as 1t was dark that
night he took his valise-he did not
stop for n trunk or his household
goods-and out of the woods he went,
far away over the hills, and never did
he show himself there again.
Well he knew what would happen
to him If he went to that baby show
and picked out the prettiest babies.
and he did not intend to take any
such risk
When Mr.. Fox did not show up, Mr..
Owl was called upon to judge, but
being II very wise bird he told the
mothers that he could not see well

honest opinion, and so the mothers

some new little possums had been
brought to Mrs. Possum by the stOrk,
so over ran Mr.. Fox to call, "for," said
he. "the best way to keep on good
terms with my neighbors is to praise
the children to their mothers"
He told Mrs. Possum that her chill
dren were the prettiest In the woods
and when Mrs. Coon sent for him to
see her new babies Mr.. Fox told her
the same thing.
Mrs. Porcupine and Mrs. Badger
also received cGll from Mr.. Fox, and
were told that no children in the
woods could compare with their new
babies, so that each mother thought
her children the prettiest babies, for
not one told to the other the nice
things Mr.. Fox had said.
All would have gone well with Mr..
Fox If Mrs. Squirrel had not been anx-
ious that every one should know that
her babies were considered the pret-
test and proposed that they should
hold baby show and have MIR. Fox for
the judge.
To this, of course, ali the mothers
agreed, for each one was sure her
babies would get the prize.

Don't injure me but let me spread

Or calling in the woodlands green
Or in the meadows brown;
Don't take my life. oh, sportsman, and
When in the wheat-helds bright,
Don't shoot me when you hear me
Gently call "Bob-white! Bob-whitep
When in the sunshine's morning rays
| bask at break of day,
Or in the mondays mellow glow,
Or in the twilight gray,
And when / chant my carols blest
And heavenward my paean scars,
Just let me live, and love and sing,
