EUROPE AT THE CROSSROADS.

hOhOEG AL LII
Events are rapidly supplying on
firmation of the statement given out
by the French foreign office last Satur-
day asserting bad faith on the part of
the Bolshevists in their negotiations
with the allies looking to an armistice
with the Poles. According to the us
ually we'll informed French department
of foreign affairs, the Soviet govern
ment sent a secret order to their mill
tary chiefs in the field to press the at
tack upon the Poles until Warsaw fell,
assuring them they would delay the
progress of the negotiations with the
allies so that the armistice would not
become effective before August 9Th,
that being regarded as sufficient time
to achieve the Warsaw objective in the
present state of Generalization of the
Polish forces. Almost simultaneously
reports from the theatre of operations
indicated a renewal with great vigor
of the red drive and the steady retire
ment, in more or less disorder, of the
Polish armies. Sunday night found the
red army in possession of important mil
itary points within seventy-five miles
of the Polish capital. Inasmuch of the
advancing force of the Bolshevist army
is cavalry it win not be difficult to
achieve the remainder of their objective
in the time limit set.
Thus Europe is given renewed evil
dence of the futility and the folly of
negotiating with anarchy. Lenine and
Trotzky nave never ~camoufaged their
ultimate purposes of upsetting the en-
tire European system of government
and society and substituting therefor
the Russian theory of communism I'M
der a dictatorship of the proletariat.
The humiliating position in. which the
| allies now find themselves is wholly due
to an abandonment Of the previous al
lied attitude of refusal to have any
dealings with the Bolsheviki, a sound
posture for which France is principally
responsible, and the substitution of an
attitude of willingness to negotiate with
the Soviets in the hope of bringing
peace to war-distracted Europes for
which the British under Lloyd-George
are sponsors.
With this fresh display of Soviet diff
ference to considerations which ordi-
narily blind the action of honorable
governments, and confronted with the
dire consequences to Europe if the Reds
are permitted to wreak their bloody
purpose upon the Poles, the French
capital is now reported to be insistent
that the allies forthwith serve an ulti-
matum upon the Soviets, threatening
Russia with war with the allies if she
doesn't halt her advancing forces i'm
mediately. There can be no blinking
the serious condition of affairs. I'm
less the Bolshevists are baked in their
purpose to invade Poland and kindle
there the fires of revolution which will
make Poland B~olshevist, there can be
little question of the rapid spread of
Sovietism into Germany and the var,
ious middle European principalities set
up by the terms of the treaty of Yer
sailles. The red flood must be halted
at the Vistula, or else there will be nc
firm barrier in Europe east of the
Rhine.

company would be most congenial. Their

People who have soft-pedalled the
sugar bowl for the past six years may
be interested in this statement from a
late bulletin of the department of ag-
riculture, which says that the crop
conditions on July l promised an in
crease in next falls sugar production
in the United States amounting to
nearly 1913, 600 tons. This prospective
crop is equal to more than % pounds
of sugar for every man, woman and
child in the United States. Twenty
two pounds per person added to what
they can get from other sources means
quite a bit of ''swetening."

Allowed to Keep His Auto License.

(Laconia, y. H, Democrat.l
Over in Vermont official notice has been
served on all automobilists that any
driver who runs into a railroad train at
a grade crossing viii be punished by
losing his license. OF course Vermont is
in duty bound to protect its railroad
trains from reckless drivers of autos,
but over here in New Hampshire, as a
rule, when an auto hits a steam railroad
train the only license the driver needs
after the accident is a burial permit.
