J. 5. MAY SUPPLY
 POLAND AMUNITI0N
PLEAS OF ENVOYS FOR AID ARE NOW BEFORE THE CABINET
 MEMBERS.

Washington. - Moved by the re- peated pleas for aid from the Polish government, the War Department had under serious consideration the re ister, for permission to buy war ma terials from the United States.
 After successive conferences be- tween the Polish minister and Secre- tary Colby, the State Department also took up the problem of finding means of reinvigorating the fast ebbing strength of the Polish state and there by fulfilling the assurances of sup port of the Poles contained in the re- cent American note to the Italian am bassador.
 Polish officials explained that in addition to the need for war materials they were anxious to obtain authori- zation of the United States to permit recruiting of Poles in America for the Polish army. It was said that not only have many offers of enlistment been received by the legation from Polish
 
 many offers have come from American veterans of the World war.
 The Polish government, it was said officially at the legation, had not made formal request for the extension to 1t of so unusual privilege. At the same time it was conceded the privi- lege was one of which Poland would gladly avail itself if rendered by the United States.
 While a statute forbids enlistment of armed expeditions in the United States for employment against a friendly power, officials said the pres ident has authority to suspend opera tions of the law under his wartime powers. Raising recruits by Poland under the leadership of Paderewsh be fore the United States entered the war was agreed to by the American government, and many Poles who en- listed to fight for the allies were re- moved from the United States and trained ia Canada and abroad.
 In order that the United States may keep in intimate touch with develop ments in Poland, Hugh Gibson, Amer ican minister to Poland, who has been home on leave, will depart soon for his post in Warsaw. He will be ac- companied by Warren B. Robbins, act ing chief of the Division of Near East ern Affairs, who has been temporarily assigned as chancellor of the legation.

WARSAW FEARFUL
 AS REDS APPROACH
PEOPLE FIGHT FOR STANDING ROOM ON TRAINS LEAVING
 THE CITY.

Warsaw.-A feeling of intense ap- city as reports circulated that the enemy is gradually drawing nearer and Is attempting a huge encircling movement. Crowds are striving to leave the city by all available means, carts, automobiles and few remain ing trains.
 Difficulties are increased by the absence of any statement from the government as to what is to be done. There is absolutely no arrangements 10 look after individuals seeking to escape from the threatened envelop- ment. The foreign legations are gone, so that foreigners must shift for them. selves. People fight for standing room on the trains, or for places on the roofs of cars, or for the privilege of hanging on to the car couplings
 Concentration and regrouping of the Polish forces for an extensive counter-stroke on the entire Warsaw front Is reported. The plans are. it is said. to begin this counter-move with ing few days. Military men express the opinion that this is a propitious time to strike back in an effort to drive of the soviet forces which are endeav. bring to encircle the capital.
 Although Polish forces have aban- doned the town of Ostrolenka, they hold their positions between the Ma, rev and Bug rivers, and are sufficient ly strong to defend Warsaw in that direction. The evacuation of Ostro. lenka, however. involves a regrouping of the Polish forces along the middle reaches of the Bug river where they are retreating toward the river Lii wise, east of Warsaw.
 long stream of Poles have forfeit ed positions which extend along a line more than 80 miles from Warsaw
 Soviet cavalry involved in the oper ation north of the Narew river is re- ported not strong enough either to at. tempt to force a passage to Vistula or even seriously to threaten the Thorn region.

A GOOD MAN GONE

In the death of Hartford W. johnson
our community has sustained the loss
of one of its best Christian men and
the Baptist church one of its most loyal
and devoted members. 1t is loss that
will be most keenly felt for many days
to come. But his life and characser,
fruits of the abiding spirit of the Mas
ter within, indicate to us that our pres
-ent loss is his eternal gain.
His wife preceded him by about eight
years. His departure, therefore, leav-
es his three children orphans. But
though denied so long the sweet, gen.
tie influence of his wife in the rearing
of their children, he had succeeded in
rearing three as noble children as could
be found. The two boys are already
members of the Baptist church and are
following in the footsteps of theis noble
father, as he followed in the footsteps
of the Master. 1t becomes the duty of
his brethren, therefore, to take Broth
er Johnson's place as much as possible
in advising and guiding his children
along the paths he would have them 20.
Nearly eight years ago Brother john
son participated in the reorganization
of the Cookeville Baptist church, at
which time only nine resident members
could be found. But in spite of every
encouragement he was one of the few
who stood true and loyal as the years
came and went. When it came to the
church no sacrifice that he could make
was too much. He was faithful unto
death" How glad those of us who are
still left to take up his burdens and
carry on the great work are that he
was permitted to live to see in the flesh |
the splendid fruits of his labors in a |
church grown from nine members to a
church nearly 200 strong within less
than eight years. To the faithfulness
and devoted loyalty of just such as he
is this great progress due. What a
splendid example his is to those of US
who are left behind.
His religion was of the simple, direct
