responded vindictively to questions

"POles Feed. Then KILL"
'"The Poles-they kill the Jewish
people; the Bolshevik does not"
his reply was interpreted. Therein

seem, for with almost the same
breath, Marder explained brokenly
that the Bolsheviki were poor pro-
viders of food and other necessi-
ties, while the Poles dealt out
plenty Of provender.
Marder was asked to explain and
replied that the. Bolsheviki really
had nothing to give, while the
Poles, with plenty, yielded much
to the Jewish people, but only as a
ruse to throw them off their guard.
Then, he explained. when it SEEM

most barbarism in which many
Jews were slaughtered ruthlessly

States to Capital.

Washington, Jan. 25.-(United

the electoral college have funk
ed"
The "flunking" consists of fail
ure to get the results of state cleo
toral votes into the hands of Vice
President Marshall before last mid
night.
North Carolina. one Of the states
closest to Washington, had made
no return whatever today. Mary
land, whose capital, Annapolis, is
only an hours ride from Washing
ton, Just got in under the wire last
night when painting messenger
rushed to the h1ne of Mark This
tlewaite, Vice President Marshall's
secretary.
Messengers from Indiana, New
ada, Utah and Oregon also have not
arrived but the electoral votes OF
those states have been mailed and
received here. The law provides,
however, that the votes shall be
both mailed and sent by messel-
ger.
The penalty for funking is 81 900
fine and no pay for the messen-
gers. The fine may not be assessed
but is is probable Vice President
Marshall, who dislikes to do such
things, may have to inform five
messengers that they cannot get
any compensation.
If messenger with the votes
fails to appear the secretary OF
state is empowered to dispatch spe-
cial messengers to bring dup.i-
Gates to Washington. This will be
done unless the messengers show
up soon.

Charles Marder and his little

STA and Poland, were more cheerful
today, "a hours after their arrival

led ultimately to hope and freedom.

His dialect is SO remote that even
