PROFITEERSIN
SANDBAG GLASS
Senator Blames High Cost
Of Living on Manufac-.
turing Interests.

Profiteering by manufacturers
who "sandbag" the public is respon-
sible for the high cost of living.
declared Senator Arthur Capper. OF
Kansas, addressing the Senate yes-
terday.
The Senator recommended prose-
cution and Imprisonment of the
profteers and a general boycott
against goods at extortionate
prices.
Commencing the Department of
Justice for activity against radicals.
Capper said the Attorney Genera,
had promised to act against the
profiteers but there is no record of
anything having been done. He
characterized food profteers as the
most potent promoters of anarchy
we now have" and said that while
it took only a few weeks to round
up $500 so-called reds" these per-
sons are in 'pitiful minority" COM
pared to the enormous number of
profiteers who ought to be put In
jail
Senator Capper denied labor is
responsible for the high cost of I1v-
ing and laid the blame entirely up
on the manufacturers. He said
labor demands all 1t can get that
it may live. whereas capital keeps
on getting its profits and the help

MUNSEY TO MERGE

New York. Jan. decentralization

Herald under the name the New

nounced today by Frank 4. Munsey.

acquired the Herald and Evening
Telegram from the James Gorden
Bennett estate.
The Sun is the oldest morning pa
per in New York. foupded in 1898. The

Mr.. Munsey gives as his reasons
for the consolidation the fact that

24TH WAR In EUROPE
LOOMING UP STRONG

The twentyfourth war is now loom
ing up strong in Europe, the beIlig-
erents in this case to be Poland and
Lithuania.
This is foreshadowed by official
news here that the conference of the
Baltic States and hte former Prus-
sian States at Helsingfors, Finland.
has undertaken to fix boundaries. 1t
is stated that Poland desires to fix n
boundary for LithuaRia which is op-
posed absolutely by the latter and
that the conference may be dissolved
as the only remedy for the impasse.
The official view here is that the
conference at Helsingfors is an in
fnitely more important gathering of
the independent States than the con-
vention which was held at Dorpat.
The unknown quantity in the war
elements between. Poland and Lithu-
ania is of course the attitude of the
Soviet Russians. 1t is believed mere
that the Soviets will probably take
the side of Lithuania. Poland Is said
to have under arms. but not with full
equipment, nearly 10000 men. The
Bolshevist armies in Western and
Northern Russia are said to number
100000 men.

POLISH ARMIES
Marshal Leaves Paris to
Command Anti-Bolshe-
vik Forces.

Paris, Jan. 2.-Marshal Foch left
for Warsaw today to complete ar
rangements for the projected allied
drive against the Bolsheviki. The un-
derstanding is that France will sup
ply the troops TO cooperate with the
Polish armies. while Great Britain
will contribute naval forces. In ac-
cordance with this plan the British
Mediterranean feet has already been
ordered to the Black Sea.
General supervision of the opera
tions against the Soviet forces on all
fronts has been given Foch. News of
the trip to Warsaw has not yet been
made public here.
Adoption of the plan for a united
campaign against the Soviet forces
is viewed here as a victory for the
French advocates of armed force as
a solution of the Russian problem
over the Lloyd George policy of the
open door in Russia.

1t was considered probable the Jugo-
SAWS course will be silent acquies-

The extension was considered nee
essary to give time for a possible re-
ply from Belgrade to reach the allies
and also TO give Great Britain and
ltaly's replies to the Jugo-Slav re-
quest time to reach here. These lat
ter replies have been delayed.

What Europe's MoOement

France have been dividing their oc-
ular attention between Africa the
Orient and South America. But
Germany and Italy have not been

diplomacy has tended to close the
African and Oriental doors to all

Therefore. by accident or design,
South America has swung. and been
