America to Wake Up

A cable has been received from j.
Fl. Patterson, industrial leader and
president of the National Cash Reg
ister Company, in which he. urges
America to wake up to conditions in
Europe before it is too late. Mr..
Patterson is in Europe studying bus
mess conditions, problems of capital
and labor, and foreign exchange. He

League of Nations at Geneva and
spent some time investigating the
work of the league. His cable fol-
lows:
"The WORLDS business is in TROUBLE
Some nations cannot sell their sur
plus of agriculture, industries and
minerals. Other nations greatly need
them. PLENTY of idle ships to carry
them. Millions of people out of EN-
ployment.
''Nations are still spending money
for war, like drunken sailors. The
worlds business has no directing
head. II needs an association of ma
tons whose object is to be good to
all the people, to stop war and fight
with brains, not with bullets, to stop
Bolshevism, TO extend International
credit, to prevent disease; ciyiliza-
ton is at stake, wake up, America,

Millions
OF Exiles
Returning
Peasants Driven Into
Wilds by Retreating
Russians in 1915,
Coming Home

washington, D. c., Sept. 26.-
At the little frontier town OF
Raranoyitchi, in Poland, an exiied
people numbering more than two
million souls is being repatriated
after seven years Of wandering In
the Businesses Of Russia. Driven
by the fear Of famine and plague,
and drawn by the desire for homes
which many of them never expect
ed to see again. these peasants OF
White Russia are swarming across
the border from Soviet Russia az
the rate Of ten thousand a week.
Advices reaching here from the
Polish receiving camp tell OF facil-
ities taxed to the utmost In the
task Of feeding. housing and cloth
ing the ragged, yermin-infested
horde which comes on trains, In
ox-carts and on foot.
Baranovitchi was not unpre-
pared for the herculean undertake
ing, for the Grand Duke Nicholas
had his head quarters there for
many months during the great
war, and Just outside the town
proper there is camp with ac-
commodations for division. In
another sense the place is historic,
too. 1t was the highwater mark
OF the great German advance, and
only q few miles beyond the de-
serted fields are still SCARED with
the trench lines which the Ger
mans built to Withstand the on
Blaughsof the Cars fighting men.
'Vis Dolorosa."
When the Muscovite hosts rolled
back across the uplands Of Lithu-
ania and through the Pinck
marshes they swept everything be-
fore them. Fields were burned,
orchards felIed, and the peasant
folk, urged by the Cossack's knout,
were driven along with the army,
In order that the conquering Ger
mans might find no advantage In
the land they occupied. Thus
were hundreds of square miles
laid waste and the broad high
ways which lead from Poland into
Russia converted into rivers OF
pity-provoking humanity.
Now they are coming back.
Under the terms of the Treaty of
Riga, Soviet Russia and Poland
agreed to an exchange OF nation
ais. and since May the stream of
human wreckage has flowed to-
ward Baranovitchi, its volume
ever-increasing. The reservoir
which feeds this stream is the en-
tire peasant population Of White
Russia, carried away In the great
retreat Of 1915.
