By the Associated Press
Polish forces defending Warsaw are
outnumbered about two and half to
one. Comprehensive details as to
the bolsheviki military organization,
place the ration strength of the soviet
army on the Polish front at 100000
men. The strength of the Poles has
been estimated at 100000.
The details as to the bolshevik
strength. which confirm in a large
part information already in the pos
session of American military authorl-
ties, estimate that in rifle and saber
strength alone. the soviet forces COM
posing the northern army or that
north of the Pripet river consist of
IS, 900 men. Bolshevik rifle and Saber
strength south of the Pripet river in
the southern army is placed at 49,
900 men.
Soviet infantry divisions to the
mum Der of twenty-SiX, the official de-
tails assert. have been identified as
facing the Polish army in the front
line. with thirteen divisions in re-
serve. In addition ten cavalry divl-
sions have heen noted in active opera
ton at the front. with two such d.
visions in reserve.
Besides the thirty-nine infantry dl-
visions reported on the Polish front,
the bolsheviki are estimated to nave
scattered in other parts of Russia
twenty-five others as well as two
cavalry divisions.
Contrary to previous reports. Gen.
Sergius kameneff, and not Gen. Brush
loft. commands the-@entire soviet
forces on the Polish front. In an
intercepted wireless dispatch sent re-
Gently from Moscow by the soviet
government the report that Gen
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 agencies"
The wireless dispatch added that
there is NOT single German officer
in the. whole of our army. 1t is
unnecessary to state that the ranks
of the red army are always open
to -all persons. irrespective of their
nationality, who consider it their
duty fight for the cause of COM
munism against imperialistic vio-
lence."

The bolshevist army on the Polish

two armies. the northern. in COM
mand OF Gen. Toueacheski. who is
only twenty-seven years of age, and
the southern. commanded by Gen. >Ye-
coroff. Both commanders were officers
in the cars army.
Gen. Brusiloff 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 bolshe-
vik officers is Gen. Budenny. COM

When the license is bought a little
card is required 20 be filed out
One end OF this card you are given
and on It Is your license number

marks" OF your car. Some OF the
people asked had this card some
where al home" but they did not
know Just where. One OF the women
asked had the card sewed in a little
pocket near the steering wheel.
This is also a good policy but II the

with H.
Sergeant RudinslIi OF the local po-
lice station said that only about two
out of ten that report thefts know
their license numbers but have 70
either go home or phone 10 find out
what il is. And all that while the
thief is going farther and farther
away. Some, says the sergeant.
even have 70 find out from the
county or state records what their
own license number is.

yourself. II would be a good Plan
10 memorize the engine number for
that's a hard thing TO change
One OF the men asked by the writer
said that he could tell his car II he
ever saw it. His method was novel.
and clever He had taken off the
glass that covers the numbers on
his speedOmeter and where il regis
tered so miles an hour he placed his
Initials. The average auto thief
would not think OF such a place 10
look for an Identification mark and
the owner could prove his property
| beyond a doubt If he ever saw the
car Other ways have been devised
TO foil the thief. They range from
notching the gasoline feed pipe 70
/ scratching the initials on the ex-
haust pipe.
The law has a long arm and will
be able TO protect you IL you help
IL by protecting yourself to some ex-
tent. One way by which you can do
this is by memorizing your license
number and marking your car so
YOU can give the police an accurate
description Of the lost property.
