RUSSIAN POLISH PEACE UNSIGNED: TROOPS MISSED
Riga Delegates Declare End Of War Not in Sight Be-
 fore Next Month If Then. GERMANY IS ALARMED Powers Notified Poland Has More than 100000 Troops
 on Polish-Cerman Border

RIGA, Feb. 14.-Signing of a permanent peace treaty between Pc land and Soviet Russia has been postponed until next month or later, Peace delegates to the conference here said last weeks despatch quot ing a Moscow wireless despatch as stating the treaty had been signed was erroneous.
 The Soviet Russian newspaper, Pravda, reviewing the year 1920, says the Communists were unable to realize most of their practical aims because of the lack of both
 people and means"
 It proposes a revision of the party constitution as practical measure for the building up of the state.
 Reviewing the Soviet Russian foreign policy the Pravda recognizes that Esthonia and Latvia must be considered the Russian windows to Western Europe. Any future war with the border states must be- avoided, it says, as the last war with them was very difficult and entailed many sacrifices on the part of Soviet Russia.
 Western Powers Blamed.
 Other newspapers reprint rumors from the Western European press regarding a concentration of troops on the Russian frontier and explain these rumors as the wish of the Western European powers to in itiate more trouble.
 BERLIN, Feb. 1.-The German Government has informed the gov ernments of Great Britain, France, Italy and Poland that PIP, ,000 Pol ish troops are concentrated along the Polish German frontier, thereby disproying, according to German of icials, statements that the Polish Army is being demobolized.
 Recrudescence of the war-spirit of the German people, which even as late as six months ago appar- ently had been completely banished, recently has assumed a new and noticeable aspect, particularly in re lation to the French who generally are blamed for most of the post war ills of the German nation.
 Hatred for French.
 Civilians and former soldiers alike frankly express the most intensel hatred for the French and again are drca ming of day when they can even-up feeling against thel Enalish and toward the Americans, of whom much is expected cOmmer- cially, there is every indication of goodwill.
 England on the whole has been credited with a desire for fair play in the execution of the Peace Treaty, but in many sources the opinion prevails that France is des- tined to have her way, even at the expense of the integrity of the Ger man nation. (This applied to the situation before the amount of the German indemnity was fiXed.)
 Reasons for Feeling.
 Agitation in certain French cir cles for an independent South Ger many, probably under the domina- ton of Bavaria; the alleged pro Polish attitude of the French mili- tary in the Upper Silesian zone; the msistcnce of the French that the Einwohnerwehr and other "protec- tive examinations" shall at once dis 1 arm: threats of military occupa- ton Of the Ruhr district; and use of French negro troops in the oc- cuDied zone, all have contributed to this revival of race hatred.

ALASKA BONE DRY LAW AFFIRMED BY APPELLATE COURT
Conviction of Arthur Abbati by Juneau Court Upheld
 At San Francisco. YOLSTEAD ACT CITED
Appellant Contends Territor- ial Law lnvalidated by
 Conflict of Penalties.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Feb. IA The United States Circuit Court of Appeals for the Ninth District today upheld the validity of the Alaska Bone Dry Law affirming the decision of the United States Dis trict Court at Juneau in the case of Arthur Abbati who was tried and convicted of violating the Alaska Bone Dry Law. Abbati, after con viction, was fined $500 and sen fenced to three months imprison- ment.
 The case was appealed on the ground that the Alaska Bone Dry law was invalidatcd by the passage of the Voistead Enforcement Law to put into effect the Eighteenth Amendment. The defense cited an alleged conflict in the two laws as 10 penalties, stating that the pen 4lty imposed for a first offense under the Alaska law was heavier than that permissible under the Volstead Act.

The old man looks and wonders
at the words on the bell. Then, call

my boy, will you do this old man q
kindness? Then run downstairs and
wait in the hall until man gives
you a message; then run out into the

The boy ran down the dark stairs
Minutes passed; the old man was

Just as he finished. merry laugh
rang out, and then in the street stood
the boy clapping his hands. ther
