Convicts in Olive Drab Uniforms


A protest against the wearing of
the olive drab United States service
uniform by prisoners of the Monroe
State Reformatory at Monroe, Wash,
has been made by Thomas n Swale,
commander of the Washington de-
partment of the American Legion. who
with a committee Of Legionnaires Wis
tied that institution. Representatives
of the bureau Of War Risk Insurance
and the federal board for Vocational
Education joined with the Legion
members in the protest to the state
officials. Shortage of funds and the
low cost of the uniforms were re-
sponsble for their adoption as the
official prison garb, according to state
officials, 1t is believed that the prison
officials will adopt some other uni
form for the convicts.

in Newspapers Demurrer 10
SIO.OOO.OOO Suit

CHICAGO, Sept. 2A-Arguments on
the demurrer Of 1.-THE Chicago Trib-
une" to the $1oooo,0oo libel suit filed
against it by the city of Chicago we're
not completed to-day, Judge Harry NJ.
Fisher, granting request Of Chester
f. Cleveland, special counsel for the
city. that court adjourn at noon.
MIR. Cleveland to-day addressed him
selr to question asked by Judge Fish
er yesterday, as to whether a munich
pal corporation was to be treated as a
private corporation or a governmental
body in cases where its general adj
ministration WAS affected and some Of
it's property rights only incidentally.
Mr.. Cleveland said that the answer
to this query would come from con-
sideration of the nature of the action
for libel as it was capable of enforce
ment by corporations. He argued that
inasmuch as q corporation has no
reputation to sustain, could not in
itself be held up To scorn or ridicule
nor charged with acts of which an in
oividual might be accused, it could be
acected by libel only in respect to it's
property. He said that when a city
WIS dealing in property it necessarily
acted in its proprietary rather than it's
governmental capaclry.

ganization represents Russians OPP
posed to Bolshevist rule.
The message to Mr.. Hoover. signed
by Prince Lovof. former Prime Minister
Of Russia; Professor Paul N. Miliu-
kov, former Minister of Foreign Affairs
in the Russian provisional government,
and many others, follows:
-Four years of Bolshevist rule in
Russia have ruined the economic life
and the political apparatus of our coun-
try and have brought it on the verge
of catastrophe threatening the lives
of millions of Russians. The noble
American nation, never having lost
faith in the future of the Russian peo-
pie, is now with your eminent assist
ance bringing generous relief to Rus
STA. The relief is even more appreci-
ated by us since the control which you
have stipulated gives the assurance
that the provisions will reach the
starving population and will not
strengthen the Bolshevist power"
1--WE warmly welcome your decision to
send foodstutfs to Russia instead Of
putting funds at the disposal of the
Soviet authorities, and also your de-
sire to make relief deed OF pure
philanthropy exempt from any politi-
cal aims. The same principles govern
the work of all Russian organizations
and groups concerned in Paris, in the
name of which we beg you to accept
their sincere gratitude to the great ma
ton Of the United States Of America
and to you as her representative"

The streets, which are mostly cobbled,

ISOLATION is actually graphing with the
famine even though on a small scale
as yet.
This first becomes noticeable on the
journey from Riga to Moscow. A month
ago Americans travelling this route
were curiosities. They are already
commonplace. When ones tickets and
passports are being prepared at the
Russian consulate in Riga there is u
precision which displays considerable
familiarity with this sort of thing
When one stumbles along the dark
platform at Riga to enter q train he
may have some misgivings, but the
train like many other features of Rus
trasts. 1t is lighted only by candles,
and the sight of passengers drifting
imperscnally in and out of compar.-
ments already crowded with humanity
and baggage implies wearsome
journey.
After the start, however, an attend
ant brings clean sheets and blankets
but no pillows-places them on the
hunks, and only five passengers re-
main in compartment built for four
There is no diner and the necessity Of
carrying ones own food causes some
overlooking of the compartments, but
these are cleaned by the attendant
twice daily. At every station of any
size he also brings kettles of boiling
water for the passengers, for somebody
or other is brewing tea during the
whole journey.

Reply to Ultimatum Will
Be Forwarded at Once to
Warsaw; Savinkoff and
Petlura Especially Named
Hopes to Avoid Rupture
Rumania Sends Delegate to
Discuss Border Dispute;
War Preparations Denied

MOSCOW, Sept. 81 (By The Asso~
ciated Press .-Russia's reply to the
Polish ultimatum of Monday last was
agreed upon to-day and will be for
warded Immediately. In it the Soviet
government states that while Poland
insists upon compliance by Russia
with the first three sections of the
peace treaty Russia likewise insists
on PoIapd's compliance with Article S,
under which both states mutually
guarantee to respect the sovereignty
of each other and agree not to inter
fere with domestic affairs by support
ing organizations fighting against the
respective governments.
This article refers especially to Cen
eral Petiura, the Ukrainian anti-Bol-
shevik leader, and General Boris sa-
vinkoff, tho anti Bolshevik leader
whose expulsion from Poland the So
Wet government recently demanded.
The Soviet government declares these
men have been receiving support from
Poland. The reply says that failure to
reach an agreement before October /,
which Poland fixed as the date when it
will break diplomatic relations if Rus
STA fails to comply with the uItimatum,
viii also be regarded by the Soviet
government as cause for the recall of
N. Karakhan, the Soviet representa-
tive in Poland, from Warsaw.
The three sections of the treaty on
which Poland's ultimatum IS based pro-
vide for restoration Of railway rolling
stock, creation of a joint Russian
Ukrainian-Poli commission for the
evacuation of Poles from the Ukraine,
and pledge the Soviet government to
restore to Poland 10000, 900 gold rubles
of the Russian imperial gold fund.
NJ Karakhan is negotiating with the
Foreign Office in Warsaw, and the NJ os-
COW officials generally express conf
dence that a break in relations will be
avoided.
The keynote of the headlines in all
the Moscow newspapers concerning Po-
lands ultimatum to Russia is I'VE

writer's to be inspired by France. Stress
is laid on the impossibiIity of Russia
yielding to the Polish ultimatum unless
Poland ceases its agitation against the
Ukraine.
WARSAW, Sept. "a (By The Associ-
atcd Press) A Rumanian delegate is
on the way to Warsaw to meet repre-
sentative of the Moscow government in
order to arrange for further negotia-
tions over the Russian Rumanian boun-
dairy dispute, says an official statement
issued by the Rumanian Legation here
to-day. The statement declared rumors
of war preparations by the Rumanians
against the Scviets to be unfounded.
Rumania has authorized agents of
the Russian Soviet Department of Com
merce to proceed TO Rumania to buy
grain, says the statement, which as
serts the Rumsnian policy will continue
to be conciliatory.

In 1919. the banner year of the cantaloupe industry. the acreage was ff29 and the yield was 190 crates to the acre at selling price of s1-15. and 1.621 carloads were shipped. A carload runs from $50 to 400 crates.
 The latest reports from the lmpe- rial valley show that on last Wednes- day 326 carloads of cantaloupes were shipped to the east and California. while the total shipments for the sea son up to that time came to 5.715 car loads, which Is slightly higher than for either 1919 or 1920.
