Europe, there are nearly 15,00O miles of railroad as compared with something over 6.0o0 at the time she was admitted to the family of Euro pean nations. Her exports to other countries tripled and in many in- stances quadrupled during the past ten years. She exports over eight billion board feet of lumber with the demand for her woods growing each year. The production of pe- troleum has grown from about 25 per cent of the pre-war average in 1920 to nearly so per cent. Coal production is fast approaching pre- war average of which nearly 40 per cent is exported.
 Poland has one of the greatest and the oldest salt mine in the world. which IS running day and night. supplying not only the nation but many other countries. Education is compulsory. not suppressed as in pre-War days, and in towns where one school stood before the war three or four are now available. The output of textile industries exceeds pre-War production by nearly 50 per cent. Industrial establishments which numbered q little over a thousand at the time of Poland's re- birth. Of which most were idle, number nearly 4,0oh employing about half million workmen. These are only figures picked at random. showing that Poland and her people are advancing and pro- gressinG despite handicap, Such progress if continued in the next 10 years will undoubtedly place Poland in the ranks of the leading countries of the world.

1 Saunders is now conducting fight against the photograph mon- opoly established in connection with the Olympic games at Amsterdam. Holland. In the last issue of snap, i NE,A monthly. he wrote the follow | ing, enlightening article under the
 title of Dutch Ask Old Masters Prices of Olympic Art"
 Unless there is drastic change Olympic Committee, America prob ably will not receive pictorial re- ports of the games to be held at Amsterdam. Demands of high prices for the privilege of taking pictures of the Olympic events have been tlatly refused by American press photographic agencies and Ameri-
 can news moving picture com panies.
 Indications are that there will be nothing of an amateur nature about the Amsterdam games except the status of the athletes. The Olympic Committee has dreams of a consid- crablc revenue from the picture agencies, especially those serving the United States. X sharp line of de- markation has been drawn between news reports and photographs. News writers will be welcomed and given every privilege but the news photo- graphers have been asked 10 pay for the right 10 work.
 The picture services of the Unit cd States are represented by two groups; six ncWs-recls in the movie line and the various photographic agencies serving the newspapers with still pictures. These companies
 are standing together in flat re- 1 fusal to be held up for the right to l take pictures. They are standing on
 tho old principle of American jour-
 nalism that the public has a right
 to be served.
 "The Dutch Committee has offer l cd the exclusive filni rights of the
 games for 150,0oQ florins. or about
 S60,0eo. The exclusive still picture
 rights have been sold. according to l the committee, to q Dutch photog-
 rapher who plans to have his men | take all the pictures of the games and sell the prints to the srious 1 picture agencies and newspapers of
 all countries. This is entirely un-
 satisfactory to American agencies | for three reasons: Firstly. the pie lures would not .bc good enough 1 because Dutch news photographers
 do not work with the efficiency and
 speed of American camera men and in many instances they would not get the American angels re- i quired: secondly, production would
 be slow. if not bopelessly inade-
 quatc. and. thirdly. the cost of covering the games in this way would be unreasonable.
 "SiX American news pictures
 agencies which supply practically all
 newspapers and periodicals in the United States and Canada have told 1 the Olympic Committee that they

WAUGH BOUND OVER AND GIRL IS FREED
Woods BIames Man for Leading
 His Companion Astray

This man was the principal actor in this act of leading this young wo- man along the primrose path that ended in this unfortunate manner, and I recommend that he be held for tho higher court. I feel sorry for the girl.' Prosecuting Attorney J. G. Woods told Judge Y. D. 'SaAe in police court today after testimony had been introduced by Detective Sergeant w. r. McCre and Sergeant F. A. McAvay in support Of charges of violation of the moral code and carrying a concealed weapon against Russell Waugh, aged 20, of Hart ford, and the charge of violation of the moral code against Miss Made line Healy. aged la. of Elm avenue, South Windhlm
 Judge Saxe asked the prosecuting attorney for a recommendation in Miss Hcaly's case and MT Woods advised that judgment be suspended and she be given into custody Of her father, who was in the court room. Judge SaNe ordered Waugh bound over in S1,Nno bonds for trial in su- pcrior court in September. and &C., cepted Mir Woods recommendation in Miss Healy's case. He expressed the conviction that the young wo- man would he properly gnided by her father, and the latter nodded as sent.
 Spreoants McCuc and McANay re- lated the story of the arrest af the couple in their room at the Burritt hotel Thursday forenoon. They obtained admission from them, Miss Heavy being especially informative. Although they told friends in South Windham that they were married. the truth was that they had lived in a number of hotels as man and wife since May without ever having been joined in matrinony, according to the testimony. and Waugh. who

 According to Sergeant McCue. Waugh had told Miss Healy he would shoot anyone who came to arrest him and before he answered the door Thursday forenoon he took his automatic pistol of the dresser in the room and put it in his trou- sers pocket. where Sergeant McCue seized it.
 Waugh declined to comment on the testimony and Miss Healy, when asked if she wished to make q state ment. stood up and said she wished to make a slight correction in Ser geant McCue's testimony. The hotel iii Willimantic where she and Waugh stopped for while and ran up bill of $144 was the Nathan Hale rather than the Israel Putnam. Beyond that, she had nothing to say. Waugh was taken to Hartford coun- ty jail after court. in default Of bond. Since his arrest he has had no visitors.

Minott Saunders, q native of this New Britain Herald, now holds one ot the most important and most cov- cied positions in the newspaper pro- fesson. that Of Paris correspondent Of the Newspaper Enterprise Asso- Clation, Inc As European repre- ice. and previously as representative of the United Press Mr, Saunders has interviewed many prominent persons in Europe and has been on the scene of almost every important event on that continent.
 Saunders is the son of MT. and Mrs. A. F. Saunders of 2S Theodore street. Maple Hill He was Gradu- ated from New Britain High school in 1909 and shortly afterward went to work for the Herald as Berlin correspondent. Later he was given the important city hall beat and he also covered the Connecticut leGls- laturc for this paper. Then he ar- cepted position with San Fran cisco newspaper and was m that city for a number of years.
 At the outbreak of the World War he trained to become an aviator, re- ceiyed his commission, and was sent to Europe. There he spent eight months in active combat flying Tn the line, having the skill and good luck to emerge from the conflict un- wounded.
 Saunders went 10 Paris after the armistice and accepted position with the United Press. This was the beginning of his sensational rise, and shortly afterward he was pro- noted 10 be UP head in Paris This is considered the key position in Europe, neccssitating travel through Spain, Italy, and all parts of the con tiuent as far as the Balkans.
 Notable Assignments In his capacity as UP correspon dent he interviewed almost every klng and queen and nearly every premier in Europe. He was Tn charge of the tug which escorted Gertrude Ederle on her record -nak- ing swim across the English channel, In the past two years he spent two weeks as the guest of the Prince Of Wales and wrote series Of articles 2nout the British prince. These ar 'icles appeared in the Herald at the tune.
 Saunders fayoritc assignment came when h. was sent from Paris to where Commander Richard Byri and his crew of transatlantic flyers had landed in the English channel. He remained with the Byrd eXpc- dition during it's entire stay abroad.
 The NEA, a feature service con- trollod by the United Press, took Saunders over from the parent or saniza,ion and made him its Paris correspondent. One of his important assignments since then was to take charge of all photogra phS of the American Legion convention heid last year in Paris He had corps of between 90 and 60 photographers working under him.

their own operators are allowed to have free action no pictures of the games will be distributed in Amer ica. The English agencies are stand ing with their American colleagues and will probably refuse to handle the pictures in England.
 Several members of the Olympic Committee realize that such an em- bargo would be a severe blow to the Dutch games and serious loss of prestige for Holland, so attempts are being made to revise the ar engagements.
 "A picture hold-up was attempted in the Paris Olympic games in 1924, but the Press Photographers Asso- citation forced an eleventh hour compromise by threatening an en- hargo. The Swiss Olympic Commit tee tried to do the same thing in the winter sports this winter, but was forced to climb down complete ly by the pressure brought by Eng lish-A American photographic agen- cies, assisted in their demand for freedom of action by the Swiss Ho- telkcepers' Association.'
 Although h- does not so state in his article, Alr. Saunders was the man who won out for the ncwspa- DOTS when similar conditions arose in Paris in 1924. This victory made him the logical man to represent the United States photographers at Amsterdam.
 Others Who Made Good
 Mir. Saunders may be perhaps the outstanding example. but many an other former Herald reporter has made rapid strides in the newspaper Among these others are Edwin N. Lewis. onetime New York "Tribune' man, now working with the Roose- welt foundation; Theodore c. Wal len. feature man and Washington correspondent on the New York Herald Tribune" John A. Gleason, city and town clerk of Hartford: :: John McDcrmott, former sporting editor of the Hartford ''Times;" A. L. Maddock. Hartford real estate dealer: Joseph Mullen, former city editor, now on the Times and rec ognized as the dean of Connecticut political writers; Daniel Pouzzner, assistant prosecuting attorney of New Haven; Chief" Meyers. special story writer for the Montreal Star. and John Daly ,jraOati e critic of the Washington Post.

 INVALUABLE AID
Their Allies in England Give
 Assistance

London, June cS-History has an uncanny way of repeating itself. If memory does not fail. there was time when various English gentle men found the money and the ships, and adventures found the cargo slaves-for export 10 the United States.
 The United States today has d na- tion- wide problem-the problem Of how to enforce the prohibition law. Periodically the courts of Great Brit ain have before them cases which show how interested some of the English are in our dryness and the aspirations of some of our people 10 wetness. For in a number Of eases recorded in British courts certain Englishmen apparently found the money and the ships and various ad- venturers found the cargo-Scotch whisky-for export to the United States.
 AssOciates Fall Out
 The way these suits come into the courts of Great Britain is quite sim pie: the associates in this risky busi- ness sometimes fall out. At times tine complaint is that there has not been a fair division of the prolts. At times the complaint is that there has not been a fair division of the profits. At times the complaint Is that the money and ships have not been forthcoming and the comrlainants have been left with the whisky on their hands.
 But one thing sticks out like a sore thumb-the bootleegers have valuable allies on this side ot the pond. The Englishmen who en- gaze in this business look upon the United States as good thing. And no wonder! One ship that gets its stuff over safely may mean sSo,- 600 profit to the packer. He only risks his money. The adventures, who actually take the stuff over, not only risk their ship, but, sometimes. their liberty.
 How the English sec It
 Needless to say, decent Engllsh- men look with great disfaNor upon these allies Of our bootleggers. They may think Americans were fools to do away with liquor. They may think enforced prohibition is taking away the rightful liberties Of the citizen.
 But after all. the average Eng lishman has great respect for law. If prohibition is the law oi our land. he thinks people ought to obey it. And he thinks his own countrymen ought to respect II and not help directly or indirectly to break it.

POLICEMAN FINED SIS
FOR SHOOTING PUPPY
Convicted Before Trial Board OF
Unwarranted Use Of
Weapon.

Policeman Kreel H. Davis Of the
seventh precinct. was convicted late
yesterday by the Police Trial Board OF
the charge Of unwarranted use Of q
police weapon IN connection with his
shooting of Jack, I0-month-old Aire-
dale puppy, on April 27, and sentenced
to pay a fine OF SIS.
The dog belongs to Clarence w. Zim-
mer of 2035 Thirty-fourth street and
was shot by the policeman after it had
jumped up at him. The defense main
tanned that the dog attempted 20 bite
the policeman, while the testimony for
Jack was 10 the effect that he was
playing. The bullet from the officers
gun shattered the puppy's leg so badly
that it had to be amputated.
Two days after the shooting, the dog
was found huddled under a porch tEo
blocks away from his masters home.
Jack appeared at the trial, exhibited
the stub-leg, and his presence caused
the policeman's attorney TO ask that the
dog be sent from the room. This
Chairman William II. Wahley refused
TO do.
Testimony for the policeman tended
to show that as Davis was short dis
tance from his home at 2o33 Thirty-
fourth street. Jack jumped up at him.
but ran away when threatened with q
brick In the officers hands. Again as
he was about to enter his front door.
the dog jumped up on him again, and
Davis swung his night stick. after which
he pulled his revolver and shot him.
The case hinged on whether the dog
actually was attempting TO bite the po-
liceman or merely was indulgirg In
puppy-play.
