REDS MAY RAVAGE
POLAND AS RESULT
Of FRENCH ACTION
Britain Views Situation With
Alarm Despite Paris
. Reassurances. \
BY GORDON STILES.

BY Cable to The Stnr and Chicago
Daily News. Copyright, 1920.
LONDON, August 14-with every
phase of opinion in Britain against
further war and favoring the rapid
conclusion of Polish Russian peace
and with both the French people and
their statesmen protesting that there
is complete harmony between the two
nations despite the present "misun-
derstanding." the sitaution apparent
ly is no easier.
Whatever efforts may be under way
to render the French negotiations
with Gen. Wrangel harmless, they
would seem to be Offset by the soviet
manifesto issued yesterday which ac-
cuses the entente of bad faith, de-
claring that there is no real desire
whole thing is trick to give the
Poles more time to reorganize their
forces against Russia. Indeed, it is
considered not impossible that the
soviet government may dash aside all
negotiations, go ahead and despoil
Poland.
Not Result of Pfque.
This state of affairs, it is asserted
comes as the direct result of the French
action. which again is condemned by
British newspaper especially as it
seems to be established that it was not
the result of pique over Britains move
in sending the Polish note before noti-
flying France. That is disposed of by
the discovery that the official notifica-
ton to Gen. Wrangel was sent two
hours before knowledge of the British
action came to the French government.
certain few, who have been in close
touch with Moscow for some months.
say that was only what they had been
waiting for and that France had kept
this card up her sleeve for long time
Gen. Wrangels offer to recognize the
old Russian debts to France is consid-
cred to have been one of the most pow
erfuI influences in the matter
British labor has again taken hand
in the affair with a threat of revolu-
ton if the country undertakes any more
military adventures. 1t is useless to at
tempt to forecast anything when even
those at the helm do not know where
they stand. Impossible as it may seem,
all of Europe waits for Lenin's next

ADD IS CENTS AN HOUR
TO ENGAGEMENTS PAY
Demand of Union for Increase
Granted by Washington
Terminal Officials.

Employees of the baggage depart
ment of the Washington Terminal
will be granted an increase in wages
of 13 cents an hour to become effec-
tive tomorrow. it was announced
today by L. A. Sterne, organizer of
the American Federation of Labor.
The men who are to be benefited by
the increase are members of the
Baggage and Mail Handlers Union.
Local, No. 1906.
Demands for increased wages were
presented to officials of the terminal
several weeks ago. After several con-
ferences with terminal officials, Or
ganizer Sterne predicted that the in
crease demanded would be granted.
When the demands were first present
ed, Organizer Sterne had difficulty in
restraining the men from taking
drastic action. After urging them on
several occasions the men ultimately
agreed to defer any drastic action
until the reguH.r meeting of the or
ganization ADJUST 19. Granting of
the increase, ahowever, will prevent
any contemplated action on part of
the men.
The increases to become effective
tomorrow will bring the salaries of
gang leaders up from $4.OO to $5.04
a day. Other employees will receive
$4.24 day instead of 1920

NATIONS IN PACT
FOR own DEFENSE
Little Entente" Embraces
the Prague, Belgrade and
Bucharest Governments.

ROME, August 13.-An agreement
has been reached between the Prague,
Belgrade and Bucharest governments,
called the little entente" for self
protection of Czechoslovakia, Serbia
and Rumania against Russia or
enemies in the Balkans, according to
the Giornale d'Italia to-day.
To make this coalition more ef-
Sfeotive, says the newspaper, the
little entente" is anxious to have
the Adriatic problem settled, so that
Serbia may be free from any threat
on the part of Italy.
The Giornale d'Italia expresses the
view that the present time affords
good opportunity to insist upon the
application of the pact of London
while letting Fiume look after heI
own independence.

down on Eve of Retiring
From Duties.

Miss Ellen Z. Halliday. school teacher
for half a century in southwest Wash
ington. died yesterday at her residence,
321 18th street southwest Death came
after a nervous breakdown following
the close of her last year of teaching
in June She was seventy years old
and would have been retired this fall.
Miss Halliday, the daughter of Henry
: and Mary Halliday. was born here July
: 10, 1850. She received her education
in the local grammar schools, which
would today be compared with both the
graded and high schools. Her teaching
began in 1870. when she started at Isle
land Hall She taught at the little row
Of houses used for educational purposes
near the Amidon building. She also
taught at the Jefferson school and was
at one time principal of the Potomac
building. Her last year was spent at
. Bradley school
All her teaching was confined to the
fifth grade. Miss Halliday was a great
lover of children. and even after
school hours had many of them come
to her home and chat>with her 1t
was her own statement \hat she con-
sidered no boy a bad boy, and with
this attitude managed the little ones
with kindness only, to which they
quickly responded. Alexander T
Stuart, at one time superintendent of
the District schools, once said of her:
; II wish that all the children of Wash
ington could have the privilege OF
spending one year in a class of Miss
HaIidays."
Miss Harriet NJ. Halliday. her sister
with whom she lived. praised hel
sisters work among the children OF
this city and stated that her death
came just as the allotted three score
and ten years" had rolled around, and
upon the completion of her fifty years
of teaching.
Her life was just like a machin.

Soviet Hordes Closing in
From Three Directions as
Line, 4of Defense Retreats

PARIS, August 13.-Closing in upon
Warsaw from the north. east and
southeast. the bolshevik hosts are
now within twenty miles of the cap
ital, and little doubt is felt here that
they will be in the city before the
peace negotiations are concluded.
Gen. Haller's army, holding posi-
tions along the Vistula. Narew and
Bug rivers, in country offering few
natural advantages for defense, is
being relentlessly pushed toward the
capital by the bolsheviki. who are
speeding up their advance.
The northern reds. according to the
latest news reaching Paris. tonight
had passed Pultusk and were march
ing on the capital down the valley of
the Narew. Another column was ad-
vancing between the Narew and the
Bug. while south of the Bug the en-
emy had reached and passed the line
running from Tluszcz through Piivki
Dohre, Kaluszyn. Tsegloff and Lato-
witch to Zelechoff Farthur south the
enemy had succeeded in forcing a pas
sage of the Bug and was moving on
Lublin.
The bolshevik cavalry along the
Prussian frontier has made another
bound forward and is now forty miles
beyond Mlawa, almost half the way
to Thorn.
In other words the reds are advanc-
ing all along the line except in the
extreme south. .
Citizens of Warsaw to the numbe.s-
of 100, 900 have pledged themselves to
defend the capital to the last breath.
but it is felt here that such an unor-
ganized effort cannot seriously affect
the fate of the city. This, apparently,
also is the view of the Polish govern
ment, which is reported to be con-
sidering moving to Posen il ii is sat
listed there 10 no chance of the soviet
forces suspending hostilities 1t IN

DRINK SELLERS ACCUSED.
Drug Stores and Others Visited by
Health Squad Last Night.

Inspectors of the health depart
city last night and reported to Health
officer Fowler today that they found
eight drug stores and soft drink es-
Establishments failing to comply with
the regulation requiring sterilization
of glasses.
1t is probable that informations
against the eight proprietors will be
filed in Police Court.
DR.. Fowier's inspection force has
kept a close watch on soda foun-
tains and near-beer saloons this sum-
mer with the result that the sterili-
cation law has been generally OBJ
served. Occasionally DR.. Fowler
sends his men out at night to see If
the regulation is carried out after
the hours when inspectors usually
make their rounds.
