POLAND FAIRLY SECURE

London, January 16.-Po1and's situa- tion as regards q possible bolshevik military onslaught seems to be fairly secure at present. in the opinion of military experts. There is always dan- ger of a concerted red attack against the Poles, they point out, but there are no indications of an imminent men ace.
 Most of the bolsheviki's. time and energy on the southern front is being devoted to an effort to defeat General Denikine, who is fighting deggedly and apparently is still strong enough to give the enemy plenty of trouble. Therefore, it is considered problemat- cal whether the reds will attempt any big drive against the Poles at present, but even if the bolsheviki should orr ganize an offensive they have not only the able Polish army to cope with. but the winter weather would be favorable to the Poles.
 The experts believe the Polish army would be able to hold out for time, pointing out that one has only to glance back over previous campaigns to realize what fighting in the inhos- pitable Pripet marsh region in winter means.
 The recent Polish drive was un- doubtedly inaugurated because the re- Iltirement of General Denikine's left had opened gap in the entire defenses and rendered possible an offensive by the bolsheyiki directed either toward en- veioping the Polish right or penetrat- ing Eastern Galicia. It was decided not to give this possibility chance of maturing.

PERFORMERS WELCOME ARIDITY

Washington, January 16.-Reformers
 from every part of the United States
 gathered here tonight in a special
 watch night service to welcome the
 birth of the first national prohibition
 year, listened to prohibition remi-
 niscences of William J. Bryan, Secre-
 fary Darsels and other leaders in the
 anti-sa loon fight and heard appeals for
 the completion of the work by a world programme.
 Referring to his personal participa- tion in so many political funerals Mir. Bryan declared it was altogether appropriate that he should be the witt ress at the obseauiss of another na- tional issue. He evoked evidence of approval by the announcement that the cause of prohibition must be spread throughout the world.
 Secretary Daniels. recalling the storm which had been raised by his edict some years ago that the navy must be run on water" declared he had been told the navy would be ruined by such an innovation. T have ruined it every year since l have>been Secretary of the Navy" he added "ex- cept during the period in which it was ne sSed to win the war"

RUM NOW OUTLAW Ru Assnciafed RreaA


 New York, January 16.--Demon Rum was declared an outlaw in New York at midnight tonight. and the declara- tion was received in two widely dif- ferent modes by New Workers. While many thousands gathered in the churches of the metropolis to greet with prayer and praise the official passing of the Demon, many more thou sands expressed their feelings in a desperate attempt to consume as much of the forbidden liquor as their sys- tems and pocketbooks would permit.
 The scenes of revelry in the White Light district surpassed. by common consent. anything previously known in the city. In every restaurant and hotel in the brilliantly lighted heart of Man. haitian "mourners" gathered for the wake in spirit of hilarity that sug- gested a christening instead of fu- neral. The evidences of mourning seemed to be entirely confined to the numerous collins which decorated the centers of most of the cafes and re- sorts
 As the hour of midnight approached numerous funeral processions were formed and the various collins were carried from place to place on tho shoulders of such mourners whose griei had not incapacitated them from act. | ing as pallbearers
 No attempt was made to interfere wits the wake by the official prohibi- 1 tion enforcers.

PURPOSES OF EXPEDITION

Tt will be recalled that the purposes of the expedition, as originally con- ceived by the United States and ex- pressed in an aide memoire handed to the Japanese ambassador at Washing ton, July r. 1918. were, first, to help the Czecho- Siovak troops, which had, during their retirement along the Si- berian railway, been attacked by the bolsheviki and enemy prisoners of war in Siberia, to consolidate their forces and effect their repatriation by way of Vladivostok, and, second, to steady any effort at lf-government or self-de- fense in which the Russians them selves might be willing to accept as- sistance.
 Not only are the Czecho- -Slovalz troops now successfully advancing into Eastern Siberia, but an agreement has been effected between the govern ments of Great Britain and the United States providing for their repatriation from Vladivostok. American vessels will begin to arrive at that port by February 1 and a. contingent of more than 10000 zecho-Slovak troops can be immediately embarked. It is ex- pected that evacuation will proceed rapidly thereafter and from that date the first purpose for which American soldiers were sent to Siberia may be regarded as accomplished
