SOVIET MASSES
ARMY OF $4,000
ON TWO FRONTIERS
Movement Causes Alarm
In Both Poland and
Rumania.

Soviet Russia's steady concentra-
ton Of military strength upon the
Polish and Rumanian frontiers to
date has resulted in the massing
of no less than $4,000 men on
those borders. according to authori=
tative advices reaching here yester-
day. OF these, nearly one half are
on the Polish, or so-called west
ern 'front.'" while approximately
125, 900 are on the Rumanian bor-
der. The remainder are concen-
trated in the Karkoff area. The
entire strength of the red armies,
Including 125.000 of the so-called
Cheka or secret service troops. Is
estimated at approximately 1.5oo,-
900 men.
While this movement Of troops
toward the frontier has occasioned
considerable alarm both In Poland
and Rumania. those here who are
most competent to speak on the
situation say all information indi-
Gates that the movement probably
was in the nature of q gesture to-
ward Europe originally undertaken
for its moral effect upon ths>Genos
conference and continued with the
Idea OF giving Soviet Russia a more
authoritative voice in The Hague

Borah Wants Ship
Board Cut to 3
Senator Announces First of
Series of Job Pruning"
Measures.

A campaign for drastic pruning
Of the political plum tree in wash
ington was launched yesterday by
Senator Borah. OF Idaho.
He began by Offering a bill to re-
duce the membership of the Ship
ping Board from seven to three.
thereby effectirg a saving of s4S.0oo
a year in salaries. which he declared
are wholly unnecessary.
He gave notice that this was the
first of a series of such measures
to put an end to soft jobs and high
salaries, involving a waste of az
least 100000 in the government
at Washington.
There are now seven members of
the United States shipping Board"
said Senator Borah. They enjoy a
salary of $4,000 each. After read
ing the hearings on the merchant
marine bill one would readily come
to the conclusion that there is no
possible justification for having
seven high-salaried commissioners.
II this were a business Institution,
instead of public one. there would
likely be one and that would be
plenty.
ITO pay seven men $4,000 each
to preside over the decrepit days,
according to their OWE showing. OF
this moridund and money losing,
money squandering affair, is sheer
waste of the taxpayers money"
Borah may ask for complete in
vestigation OF other public commits
sioLs, particularly the Canadian
Boundary Commission. he said.

HARD COAL PARLEY
TODAY MAY AFFECT
MONDAYS MEETING
If Anthracite Miners and
Operators Agree, Bitumi-
nous Will 'Be in Hole"

II the anthracite section of the
Presidents coal conference attains
settlement on reconvening. today, IL
will exert a strong moral force on
the bituminous miners and opera
tors, officials believe.
Two reasons are assigned:
1. The settlement would give rise
to the public question: IF the an
thracite miners and operators can
agree. why can't the bituminOus
men agreeT'
.. 1t would mean peace, in the
three closest knit districts of the
United Mine Workers, thereby
weakening the stand Of the btu
minous district presidents.
However, a successful outcome Of
the anthracite negotiations proba-
bly, would not be used by the gov
ernment as a pointed object les
son to the bituminous conferees
when they reconvene next Monday.
Today's conference is a distinct unit
entirely under the observation of
Secretary Fall. Secretaries Hoover
and Davis are keeping hands OF.
May Leave IL 10 Secretary Fall
The anthracite operators have
suggested that the anthracite ques-
tion be left to Secretary Fall for
arbitration, and the miners accep-
tance~ or rejection OF such arbitra-
tion is expected today. Upon this
rests the question Of success, hence
Of moral force.
The relationship OF the anthra-
cite and bituminous Industries. how
ever, so far as the Presidents con-
ference is concerned, is said prac-
tically to end with the strike settle
ment.
Anthracite is a natural monop-
oily. and a luxury" according to
Director George Otis Smith of the
U. S. Geological Survey. The an
thracite area-practIcally all in
Pennsylvania-is $50 square miles
or about one-thousandth of the area
OF soft coal lands. The under
ground reserves are between I6.-

sufficient at the present rate of de-
pletion for not much over a cen
tury. Production has reached a

LONDON, July 5.-A general sur
yey of the international situation.
nearly four years after the conclu-
sion Of the armistice, discloses, in
many of its aspects, abundant
grounds for disillusionment and
even dependency. The number OF
men actually under arms in Europe
is stated on high authority to be
greater than it was in 1914.
After a long series of abortive
conferences eliminating for the
moment in the fiasco at Genoa. the
problem of reparations and indebt-
edness, which lies at the root of
the economic uneasiness of the
world, appears to be as far as ever
from the settlement.
The nations. debtor and creditor
alike, live on from hand to. mouth.
from quarter day to quarter day
while the exchanges establish new
records of feverish fiuctuation and
enterprise tosses on the sick-bed
of uncertainty.
What Has Mankind Won't
1t is not only the cynics who put
the question: What has mankind
won in return for the unexampled
sacrifices, personal and material, Of
the war?
The statesmanship of Europe has
been tried in the balance and found
wanting and there is only a dwin-
ding minority who do not agree
that it is high time for the su-
preme council to wind up it's ac-
tivities.
There is for the moment one di-
rection only in which we can look
with hope for the establishment OF
peace on earth. The covenant of
the league of nations stands in the
forefront Of all the treaties of the
last three years. 1t was signed by
the representatives of over thirty
states and that number has since
been increased to fifty-one.

"Is there speculator in the crowd?

While. 1 stood on the Midway meditat-
ing moodily on the amorous courtship by
Uncle Sam of the Goddess Fun, and, in
cidentally, trying to find in all this de-
lirious reaction about me, something of
which to write for my paper, the Blade,
that would not bear the taint of profess
sional press agenting, felt vigorous
whack between my shoulder blades Turn
ing around, half angrily, prepared to re-
taliate for the hurtfu blow, from some
hoodlum | thought, received genuine
shock of surprise and pleasure.
"Why, Hello, Isadore, What's the good
word? Whoever dreamed of meeting you
here? Knew you at once by that shapely
dome" came the shouted greeting from
tall silhouette.
Temporarily blinded, on turning around,
by the myriad of multi-colored lights that
winked and gared along either side of

nizing the towering, yet familiar form.
Then the light broke.
"Well, if it isn't my good friend Bever-
y Woods, the peerless press agent" l
finally burst out. How's every little thing?
And where is "Queen" Victoria, your prec-
ious meal ticket?" added, interrogatively.
After exchanging the usual platitudes
he replied to my last question in a very
reluctant manner. l could easily detect
in his tone, sorrow, regret and tragedy.
"Well, Izzy, about the little queen
don't like to talk, but don't know of any
one whom l would rather unburden my
woes on than you. Say, let's go down
town. It's about over out here for the
night. A man can't talk in all this racket.
How about a cold bottle and bird"
He replied and proposed with forced
gaiety.
1t was indeed Beverly Woods; none
other. While leaving the fair grounds and
searching for disengaged taxi in the
vast sea of humanity and hawking ven
dors of silly novelties that swirled and
eddied about us, my mind reverted back
few years to the point of my first acquain-
tance with Beverly Woods. Good old
Beverly, who had on so many occasions
given me the benefit of his broad wisdom
in the art that Phineas T. Barnum made
famous. Oh! enamored youth What
follies! What ridiculous ideals! What

reach the heights OH Experience you
