Jewish Refugees
Pour Into Soviet
Part Of Poland
Army Remnants Fight
Guerrilla Campaign
In Woods, Marshes
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, Oct. 17.-An increas-
ing flood Of Jewish refugees from
German-occupied Polish territory
into Soviet Russia's nav holdings
was reported today.
Meanwhile, some tattered rem
nants of the Polish army were ur1-
derstood to be still fighting = guer-
rilla campaign, lurking In the. woods
and marshes Of Eastern Poland and
donning the uniforms Of Soviet
soldiers killed from ambush.
There were numerous unomcial
reports of the stream Of Jewish ref
ugees from the German side Of the
new boundary, estimated already to
total 100000 to 100000.
For example, the population Of
Bialystok (Belostok), on the Russian
side of the line, normally 100000,
is said to be nearly doubled. Wilno
(Vilna), which Russia gave back
to Lithuania, was also said to be
jammed with refugee Jews.
Received Cordially
Russians here say the Red Army is
receiving the Jews cordially and pro-
viding work for them. The native
population, however, Is said to be
fearful of NaN spies among the
refugees and to be receiving them
with suspicion.
The future status Of the wand
erers remained unsettled.
In the absence Of developments on
the diplomatic front with regard
to the Finnish and Turkish nego-
tiations, Russia was conducting a
propaganda campaign for approval
at q plebiscite Sunday Of her an
nexation Of the Polish Ukraine and
White Russian territory.
1t was understood there were
simultaneous steps against outspoken
opponents of the Soviet regime In
the occupied territories. Soviet ON
cials insisted, however, that the vote
would be fair and free.
Status of the Russian Turkish ne
gotiations remained clouded in con-
fiicting rumors and officials silence
Some foreign circles gave credence
to a report that an unexpected snag
had prevented signing of an agree
ment, but that this delay might be
only temporary.
SaracogIu at Kremlin.
Sukru Saracoglu. the Turkish for
eign minister, conferred at the
Kremlin for two hours today. Gle
was reported in Istanbul Sunday
night to have baked at far-reachine
concessions to Russian influence In
the Balkans)
The Turkish Embassy said Sara
coglu might prolong his visit here in
order to confer with Erkemen Muh-
liss, Turkish agriculture minister, er
route to Moscow ostensibly to attend
an agricultural exposition.
In the Baltic area, where Russia
has expanded her influence through
treaties with Estonia, Latvia and
Lithuania, negotiations with Finland
marked time. It was said that DR.
Juho Kusti Paasikivi. the Finnish
envoy, probably would not return
here until late in the week. DR.
Paasihvi returned yesterday to Hell
sind to consult his government.

Rose Has Long Figured in History Of Engands Empire

The rose, in all probability, has
figured more prominently in the his
tory of England than in that of any
other country.
The War of Roses, which lasted
from 1455 to 1885, was between the
House of York and Lancaster. A
red rose was the badge of Edmund,
earl of Lancaster, brother of King
Edward I. The white rose was the
badge of the Black Prince.
According to tradition Somerset
plucked red rose in the Temple
garden, saying, "Let all the friends
OF Lancaster follow in my example"
Likewise, Warwick, the friend of
York, plucked white rose, saying
LET all the friends of York wear
white rose for their badge" Rib
bons and rosettes of red and white
were worn by the partisans of Lam
Coulee City dispatch. [volume] (Coulee City, Wash.) 19??-19??, 1939-10-19

caster and York after this act.
Another conflict in which the rose
was worn was the Seven Years war.
During the Battle of Minden in 1853,
several British regiments gathered
and wore roses which flourished on
the countryside, it is related in Gar
den Digest. It is custom for re-
manning British regiments to cele-
brate the battle in which their pred
ecessors fought, by wearing yellow
roses and bedecking their drums
and colors.
The Lancashire Fusiliers make
even more of ceremony of it, by
giving a "silent toast" to those who
fell. Most peculiar of all is the
ritual which follows the toast. The
most recently joined subalterns
must stand upon their chairs and
eat a rose.

the box office. Louis biggest share
of any gate amounted to $349, 1923,
when he knocked out Schmeling.
Tunney Retires
Gene Tunney earned $1,715 900 in
the ring. His fortune was made in
the short space of three years, dat
ing from his first victory over Demp-
sey in 1926 until he retired in 1928.
Tunney won the championship
from Dempsey in Philadelphia, Sep
TENDER %, 1926, on 1O-round deci-
sion. He gave Dempsey a return
match in 1927 and retained his
crown by again winning a 10-round
decision. On July 81, 1928, Tunney
scored a technical knockout over
Tom Heeney, an Australian fighter,
and announced his retirement.
1t is extremely unlikely that Louis
will ever reach Dempsey's all-time
total. Dempsey's huge income was
increased by his personality. One
of boxing's most colorful charac-
tiers, he commanded big prices for
exhibition tours and from all extra
curricular activities. Louis can't do
that. He hasn't the showmanship
and perhaps the inclination.
On April l, 1888, after he had an
nexed the heavyweight crown, Louis
earned $16,659 by knocking out
Harry Thomas in the fifth round.
There's more than one reason for
such small championship purse.
To begin with, money isn't as plen-
tiful as it was back in the twenties.
Perhaps the major reason is that
Louis hasn't had good match for
far too long.
