EDITOR Halls
SOVIET TREATY
Denounces Stories of
Secret Agreement

WILLIAMSBURG, Mass, Aug. 81.
DR.. A. -Bartholdy, one
Of the editors of the German foreign
archives, addressing the Institute Of
Politics, protested against what he
said was the way in which every move
for better commercial relations and a
closer friendship between Germany
and Russia had been "misinterpreted
and suspected in certain quarters"
An Open Agreement.
The treaty of Berlin Between Rus
STA and Germany, according to him,
was straight and open agreement for
friendly cooperation and equal JUS
tice for Germans and Russians in Ger
many, and concerned itself with the
arbitration Of disputes and friendly
neutrality in the event Of war in
which neither was implicated.
The story of secret treaty be-
tween Berlin and Moscow he declared
a downright lie from beginning to
end, invented to cover and neutralize
the fact that suspicious were afoat in
Germany and Russia against France,
Poland and Czecho-Slovakia."
Struck New Note.
The speaker pointed out that the
French, Polish and Czecho-Slovakian
treaties were concluded before the
treaty Of Berlin, and that If the Ger
mans and Russians had copied the
terms of the other treaties neither
France, Poland nor Czecho-Slovakia
would have had any right to protest.
But, he maintained, the treaty Of Ber-
lin did not follow their example.

In the prison of Sambor, which has
a quite modern building, the cen
trail heating and the canalization
are out of order already for several
years. Even the prison hospital is
not heated, since several years.
The mutiny of the prisoners which
took place there and led to the
death Of one prisoner, is therefore
understandable Also the prisons
in Cracow are not heated. In Bia-
lystok during the hunger strike of
the prisoners the mouths OF the
strikers were opened by iron tongs
in order to feed them. In this way
the death of several prisoners was
brought about. -"

Battle During Holdup

One bandit IS dead, and his pal and
four other persons are being treated
in hospitals for gunshot wounds here
today following an unsuccessful at
tempt to rob a Chicago Surface Lines
car barn Of $4,000 in cash receipts.
The bandit party consisted of three
men and two girls. The girls were
posted as 'lookouts" as the men enter
ed the car barn. Street car officials
had been tipped of, however, and de-
tectives were posted about the build
ing.
When the bandits entered, the Of
fcers opened fire. One bandit was
killed, another wounded and captured
while the third escaped. Three de-
tectives were slightly wounded, as was

of the barns.
One of the girls was captured, but
she refused to give her name, or those
OF her companions. Police are search
ing for the other girl and bandit.

summer with her beautiful and Law

Her latest party, held last week, while

In the Polish prisons there are at
present six thousand political prison
ers, revolutionary workers and peas
ants. Only a small number of them
have been tried. The greatest pro-
portion of them are in prison on re-
ward which lasts for them two, two
and a half and in a number OF cases
even three years. The Polish courts
have made it their custom to deduct
the time on reward from the SEN
tence, so that there happens frequent
ly cases that the sentence is six
months and that the prisoner, VINO
has passed three years in prison on
reward, must serve three and a half
years instead.
The number Of the prisoners on re-
ward increases with every year, be-
cause on the one hand the courts
cannot comply with the great numbaR
Of political trials and on the other
hand in many cases where proofs are
not sufficient for the trial, the trial
cannot take place, but the prisoner
in nevertheless not released. One is
therefore endeavoring to facilitate the
tasks of the courts in another way
by letting the prisoners die.
Horrible Conditions In the Prisons
The conditions in most OF the Po-
fish prisons are such that longer
stay there means death for the major
ity of the prisoners.
In this respect the prison OF the
Holy Cross" and the Vronke Prison
are most famous. The first is situated
on hill almost $500 feet high and
is always surrounded by mists. AS
the food and the heating are COM

official Confession Of the Prison
Horrors
The Polish prisons have already
gained sad notoriety in the whole
world. Already in 1924 progressive
bourgeois politicians and radical wri-
ters of France protested against these
conditions. The Polish parliament
was compelled to appoint a committee
Of investigation (Thugutt) whose ac-
'ua1 task was TO clear Poland before
the eyes of the foreign states.
However, after having visited a
number OF prisons, the committee col
lected such an amount OF material,
that Vt did not dare TO present It to
the public. Only after two years OF
work in secret sessions (the members
Of the committee had promised not
TO speak about their work to anybody
outside) the committee has composed
report for the parliament which
was published in March 1926.
Let us mention here some extracts
from the official report which certain

U. S. ADMIRAL
Fears Influence of Soviet
Union

WILLIAMSBURG, Mass, Aug. 81.
Rear Admiral William v. Pratt,
president Of the Naval War College,
Newport, In a lecture at the Institute
Of Police, warned the country of an

pressed the hope that American dlpIo-
macy would so maneuver that the
onus Of starting the row would rest

The world sits today on a martial

in 1914, he looked with alarm at the
unrest that was prevalent all over the
Orient and among the colonial possess
sions of all the powers, including the
American possessions in the Pacific.
Fear Soviet Union.
Admiral Pratt regarded the Soviet
Union menace to world peace be-
cause the government Of the union
would endeavor to turn a local war
into a world conflagration. This
would be extremely embarrassing to
the imperialists, the admiral admitted
as they fear that another world war
would mean the end of their happy
days.

The downfall of the Pangalos die
tatorship in Greece did not surprise
US. It was inevitable. Any dictator
ship, no matter what its economic
basis, II It has not sufficient strength
to assert itself against it's enemies, is
evidently near it's end. And the Pan
galos dictatorship, especially in the
last few weeks, was showing a great
deal of hesitation in dealing with It's
political enemies of the bourgeois par
ties. One day It would arrest and
send to exile certain bourgeois politi-
cal leaders for treason against the
State and the next day would free
them, in order to arrest again the
day after. he
A dictatorship will stay in power
only 80 long as it has the ability and
the required strength to enforce it's
will and to crush ruthlessly all OPP
ponents. This being so, one seeing
the conduct of Pangalos lately, should
easily come to the conclusion that his
regime had failed and predict his
downfall as very near.

However, we are not at all enthused

came. lie. by a military coup and q
merry chase OF the fallen dictator

way to overthrow this abominable
tyranny would have been a sweeping

any other way but by a succession
OF dictators in power.
The working class of Greece, IN
