We are now facing the New Year.
The pages of 1919 should be closed.
The pages of 1920 should in reality
be those of a New Book. The full
interest of the Labor Movement de-
mands that it be such.
The division among you should be
buried with the old year, and the
New Year faced resolutely with a
united movement. The open shop

it imperative that your Local take
steps to become affiliated
with the Central Labor Council of
your city, in line with the policy ad
vised by the American Federation of
Labor and your International Union,
together with the State Federation
of Labor.
Only through affiliation with the

about that cooperation along pro-
per lines without which there can
be no success for any portion of the
Labor Movement of your city. Any
evils now complained of can only be
remedied by favorable action along
this line Get in touch with the

Honeymoon a Nightmare,
She Seeks Separation
Mrs. Butler Says She Was
Treated Cruelty on Wedding
Trip: He Asks Annulment

Harry V. Butler and Mrs. Bertha M.
Butler, who were married in June, 1919,
are suing each other in the Supreme
Court, the husband for an annulment of
their marriage and the wife for sepa-
ration. Mrs. Butler alleges that the

their honeymoon in California.
"While there" said Mrs. Butler, 1--WE
stopped at the finest and most expensive
hotels, lived in a most luxurious man
ner, but despite these facts my honey
moon became a nightmare"
The husband bases his action on the
allegation that Mrs. Butler, before her
marriage figured as correspondent in the
divorce suit brought against DR.. James
Daniel Hoyt, in which Mrs. Hoyt OBJ
tanned decree. Mrs. Butler withheld
that fact, he alleges.
In reply Mrs. Butler says she was act
ing as head nurse for Dr. Hoyt when
his wife sued him, and that while she
was named, she and the physician were
not guilty of any misconduct.
Returning from their honeymoon, Mrs.
Butler adds, she went to live with her
husband at his residence at Nepperhan
Heights, Yonkers. One day she came
home and found note on the door of
the house announcing that it had been
"let out to tenant"
Justice Glennon awarded Mrs Butler
$500 month alimony yesterday and al
lowed her attorneys $4,000 as their fees.

Poles Are Outnumbered
TaUo and a Half to One
Soviet Army Before Worsn.c;
Is Estimated at $4,000:
Defenders about 10000

w WASHINGTON, Aug. IL. Polish
forces defending Warsaw are out
numbered about two and a half to
one. Comprehensive details as to the
Bolshevik military organization, re-
ceived to-day in official circles here,
on the Polish front at $4,000 men.
The strength of the Poles has been es-
timated at 100000.
The details of the Bolshevik strength,
which confirm in a large part informa-
ton already in the possession Of Amer
lean military authorities, estimate that
in rifle and saber strength alone the
Soviet forces composing the northern
army, or that north Of the Pripet River,
consist of $4,000 men. Bolshevik rifle
and saber strength south of the Pripet
River in the southern army is placed
at $4,000 men.
Soviet infantry divisions to the num-
Der of tweny-six, the official details as
sert. have been identified as facing the
Polish army in the front line, W .h
thirteen divisions in reserve. In addi-
ton ten cavalry divisions have been
noted in active operation at the front,
with two such divisions in reserve.
Many Divisions Scattered
Besides the thirty-nine infantry d.
visions reported on the Polish front
the Bolsheviki are estimated to have
scattered in other parts of Russia
twenty-five others, as we'll as two cav
airy divisions.
Contrary to previous reports, Gen
eral Sergius Kameneff, and not General
Brusiloff, commands the entire Soviet
forces on the Polish front In an in
tercepted wireless dispatch sent re-
Gently from Moscow by the Soviet gov
eminent the report that General
Brusiloff, former commander of the
Russian imperial armies against Ger
many, was in command of the Soviet
army was characterized as "the mis-
taken. Intentionally perverted idea
spread by European and American
bourgeois agents"
The wireless dispatch added that
"there is not single German officer in
the whole of our army. 1t is unneces-
sary to state that the ranks of the Red
army are always open to all persons.

Officers Served Under Car
General Kameneff, formerly COM
manded the troops fighting Kolchak on
the Eastern front and, according to the
Soviet wireless, it was as a result of his
victories in that area that he was
promoted to his present command.
During the war General Kameneff
served under the Gar as chief of staff
of the 18th Russian Army Corps and
later Of the Sd Army. Joining the Red
forces in April. 1918, he was military
director in the Smolensk area before
he became commander of the Eastern
front.
The Bolshcvik army on the Polish
front is reported to be divided into two
armies, the northern in command of
General Toucacheski, who is only
twenty seven years of age, and the
southern, commanded by General Ye-
corotf Both commanders were officers
in the Cars army.
General Brusioff is known to be
chief of military council at Moscow
which has been preparing military
plans against Poland. With him are
associated many of the general staff
officers of the old regime.
One of the most successful Bolshevik
officers is General Budenny, COM
mander of cavalry, whose tactics on
the Polish front, according to military
authorities, largely have made possible
the Bolshevik successes in the south.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 12.-Reports
that a vessel was loading on the Della
ware water front with ammunition in

French Press Defends
Recognition Of Wrangel
s'The Temps" Vie,cs Colby Note
as Proof e. S. Aims at
Same Objects Paris Seeks

PARIS Aug. 1.-THE recognition of
General Wrangel by France is neither
an act of reprisal by her for Great
Britain's latest initiative in the Polish
Russian negotiations nor an act of i'll
humor, says the Temps" to-day. 1t
ADDS facts which it says establish the
truth of this statement.
Premier Millerand on returning from
Hythe, the newspaper states, found in
Paris the demand of the South Russian
government for recognition. The docu-
ments necessary Tor the recognition
were prepared by o'clock yesterday
morning and the decision was taken by
the Cabinet at its meeting an hour
later
The news that Great Britain had re-
commended that Poland accept the
Soviet armistice conditions, adds the
Temps" only reached Paris between
noon and 1880 p. m.
The American reply to Italy, as en-
bodied in the note of Secretary Of
State Colby, is taken by the Temps"
as proof that the American policy
toward Russia has essentially the same
objects as that of France. This is, says
the newspaper, the pacification of
Russia, which France does not desire
to see subdivided, Germanized or
anarchized.
The recognition of General Wrangel's
government is commented upon to-day
by all the French newspapers, the ma
jority of which express surprise at the
statements Premier Lloyd George made
in the House of Commons concerning it.
They take the view that the British
Premier is not in a position to re-
proach France in connection with this
initiative by her, advance notice of
which was given by Premier Millerand
in his speech of July 20, as they point
negotiations with the Bolsheviki with
out consulting France or the other
Allies.
The newspapers consider that the
French recognition of General Wrangel
is strictly logical continuation of the
line of policy publicly mapped out by
the French government.

"Premier Millerand, who arrived at
Montdidier for luncheon to-day Con a
trip he is making to the liberated
region), was Immediately informed of
the conversation"
Traditional French Policy
"Too much Importance is being given
by the French and British press to the
emergency in views between the
French and British governments on the
Wrangel incident" was the statement
made by The Associated Press to-day
at the French Foreign Office. Premier
Millerand is away from the city, and
M. Paleologue, former French Ambas-
sador to Russia, was in charge Of the
Foreign Office to-day.
France" it was added, follows its
own traditional policy toward Russia
and toward Poland"
There was a feeling of surprise at
the Foreign Office over the "eyident
misunderstanding of the attitude of
France"
"The small misunderstanding is an
moving" said one of the officials, "but
it is not preventing In any way the cor
dial relations existing between the two
great allies"

Poles Blame England
Returning Officers Say She Con.
tributed to BoIshevik Victory

Great Britain was blamed for the
present conflict in Poland By officers
in command of PSF Polish troops who
arrived here yesterday on the army
transport Pocahontas. Nearly all the
returning soldiers were recruited in
this country and after having fought
with Poland are returning to their
homes. Several Of their officers said
that the present conflict in Poland was
largely due to Great Britain having
countenanced the opening up of rela.
tons with the Bolsheviki
eve don't need men in Poland" they
said 1--WE have plenty of man power,
but we can't fight the armed Bolshe-
Wiki with our fists. If Britain had not
dealt with the Bolsheviki they would
not have been equipped with arms and
ammunition. Give US arms and amma-
milton and we'll not alone drive them
out of Poland, but we'll annihilate
them. Britain did not like the idea
of Poland giving a preference to
America and France in the reopening
of her commerce"

in Russia the United States never rec
ognized him, although France and
Great Britain did extend formal recog-
milton and although the United States
sent armies to the Murmansk coast and
into Siberia to cooperate in the fight
against the Red army.
The view was expressed to-day in
diplomatic circles that the action of
the French government would not re-
suit in any serious differences between
that country and Great Britain. The
British so far, it was pointed out, have
manifested tendency to deal with the
not opposed any move looking toward
the overthrow of Lenine and Trotzky.
No information has reached the State
Department as to whether the French
intend to give General Wrangel mill
tary assistance against the Soviet
troops. The South Russian leader,
according to the American military in
telligence officers, has large army at
his command. He has $4,000 troops I'M
der him in addition to the Don Co.'S
sacks and the Kuban Cossacks, who are
numerous, but whose strength the
American intelligence officers do not
know.
Official confirmation of Frances rec
ignition of the government of General
Wrangel was received here to-day.
France Notifies Washington
The text of the communicate of the
French Foreign Office, announcing the
recognition of the Wrangel govern
ment, was sent to Washington by the
American Embassy at Paris. 1t fol-

"1n view of the military successes
and consolidation of the government
of General Wrangel, as we'll as assur-
ances received relative to the demo-
cratic form Of his administration and
his respect for former obligations of the
Russian state, the French government
has decided to recognize the govern
ment of the South of Russia as q de
facto government. A French diplo-
matte agent will be sent to Sebastopol

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10. - The re-
cruitment Of Polish Americans to join
the anti Bolshevik forces and authority
to engage in an extensive campaign in
this country to enlist American war
veterans to go to Poland as military
units may result from conference to
be held tomorrow by Prince Casimir
Lubomirski, the Polish Minister, and
Secretary of State Colby.
The Polish Minister will place be-
fore Secretary Colby the urgent need
for more man power in Poland. He
will seek authority similar to that ex-
tended to 1gnace Paderewski during
in this country for immediate dispatch
to Poland.
1t is understood that there is a dis
position on the part of the President
to cooperate with the Polish Americans
in increasing the military strength
Of the Polish forces by the recruitment
of new units in this country. The
President still retains authority to sell
to the Polish government army sup
plies and equipment, and it is believed
that this authority would be resorted
to in speedily equipping the proposed
Polish legion with arms, munitions
and other necessary equipment.
u. s. Watches Britain
American government officials de-
clined to-day to comment in any way
on the bearing Frances resogni-
ton of the South of Russia govern
ment as the de facto government of
Russia, which was announced yester-
day, will have upon the Russian-Polish
situation, but it was stated that the
British view of the French move was
being watched closely.
There is no possibility that the
United States will follow the lead of
France and recognize the anti Bolshe-
vik government in Russia, officials de-
clared. Except for recognizing the
Kerensky government, the United States
has withheld recognition of any gov
eminent in Russia, and has exerted its
efforts in an endeavor to unite the
Russian people against the Lenine-
Trotzky regime.

head Of the anti~Bolshevik government
