Warsaw. Aug. 20-Poland's army is rapidly following up the retreating en- erny northeast and east of Warsaw, and further successes for the Poles are re- ported The Tecapture of Sokoauw, Drohiczyn and Biala, with thousands of prisoners and great amounts of war material is reported in today's official c0mmurique.

today, On the basis of this census he sad Illinois farmers did not believe there Wa car shortage. The trouble With transportation he characterized as
 lmmobility' and he declared the farmers meant to find out whose fault it was.
 Secretary Thompson said the associ. atlon undertook its census after receiv- ing reports from farmers over the state that they saw many cars standing idle on country tracks.
 Members of the association made daily records of the car initials and numbers of all cars at 494 stations To- cated in 46 different counties for seven consecutive days the state farm bu reau executive said. "Of these 4s4 stations, 146 Or 29.5 per cent. reported some of the cars on tracks the last day of the count as were on the tracks the first day of the count
 At all stations, 9,294 cars were listed the fldst day and of these cars, SSS out of 9,294 cars har not been nov ed from the country point for seven consecutive days. This is just a little over 10 per cent. of the cars at such points.
 No count was made in Chicago. In several other large yards the assoca- tion enumerators were elected from the
 
 Mine operators say they were fore led to idleness many days each week leading to the strike of the miners which recently tied up the mines just when the farmers were needing coal for threshing At this same time before the strike in Christian county. at Clarksdale and at Willeys, two trains of coal cars totaling 53 cars were reported empty at both first and last days of the count.
 If We may take the total number of freight cars of the country on December 31, 1918, as a basis for computation and consider that the percentage of i'm mobility of cars is as great in Chicago, Toledo and New York as ill country points like Clarksdale, Fidelity and Low Point it is very moderate when we say that the total number of new cars which the railroads say they need to meet the transportation requirements of the pres ent moment. is not a patch to the oal of immobile cars now idling by the weeks and months in terminal yards on side tracks at country points.
 This survey shows pretty clearly to the farmers of Illinois the excuse of ear shortage is largely camouf1age, giv- en to cover up some real, deeper reason for the present transportation ineffi- ciency And to search for that reason will be the next job of the farmers bus mess organization"

TRYING TO SHUT OFF
 BoLSHEVIKI RETREAT

Paris. Aug. 20 (By the A.

 Down this road the Reds are bolting' profiting by the large number of horses in their possession. The fact that they have these horses is said to account for the comparatively small number of pris- oners being taken by the Poles. Pursu- ing French air s nes, however, have pre- vented the enemy from taking with him many guns and ruch material. Up tc date. seven bolshevik divisions have been cut to pieces and all their guns captured
 The Polish right wing, advancing from the sout,, is now before the forts of Beest LitovsF and part of it has crossed the Bug r.Ger in the direction of Kovel, thus providing safeguard against flank coun- ter-attacks Polish forces in this region are supported by a Ukrainian division and General Balachowichz's Russian vol unteer army which had remained i'll Polesia, east of Brest iLtovsk and to the rear of the bolsheviki. Thus 1t is point ed out, the bolshevik garrison at Brest Litovsk is virtually cut off on all sides.

In Smyrna's hinterland, traversing remains of cities destroyed by radicals of an earlier epoch, the corres- pondent found Turk peasants peacefully continuing their harvest labors under a burning sun. None of them appeared to harbor desire to drive out the Creeks.
