Men's Clothes to Drop
But Not Woollen Cloth
snlal lo Tin Ioh and Niw York Mssjid.
LAWRENCE, Mass., Aug. 15.
Men's clothing will sell at
lower wholesale prices this fall,
in the opinion of , William M.
Wood, president of the American
Woolen Company. He referred
to clothes that go on sale at re
tail in the spring of 1921. At
the same time he declared that
woollen cloth would not drop in
price.
Mr. Wood added that the com
pany's mills, according to pres
ent indications, would be re
opened soon after Labor Day. .
"The prospects look bright,
but that is the most I can say for
the present," he said. "We are
receiving numerous inquiries
from persons looking for cloth.
We are like fishermen, we have
our bait and it appears now as
though we are getting bites."

and eventually America, 6fflcluls of the Bolshevik regime told the Assoototed
Press here to-day.
As soon as the Polish war. which Is considered a purely Russian busi

ing permission to transport troops across Germany for the French campaign.
Upon refusal of this request, which Is taken for granted, a revolution will be
instituted In Germany, the success of which the Bolshevikl asserted .they
were prepared to assure by fctrce of arms.
With tbese ends in view the Russian soldiers, who have been told that all
wars shall cense with ultimate victory over the Poles, are being subjected
to n vigorous propaganda which declares that French men will he shot on
sight, but that tbe Germans are friends who will soon become comrades of
the Bolshevikl. These admissions have been corroborated by Information
gathered by the correspo"'le"t In conversation with German representatives
and established in Minsk. Warsaw re

choice as, leader of the Polish Com

the Poles, who expected to have to

Prince Eugene Sapieha, Polish Mlnla

on Poland's willingness to negotiate
pence with the Russian Bolshevikl. re
peated his declaration that Poland would
not accept a peace of capitulation. How
ever, he told foreign newspaper corre

agree to a peace on the basis of recogni

Red Captor of Soldau Sol
emnly Tells Inhabitants.
Berlin, Aug. 15 The commander of
the Twelfth Russian Soviet Division
which Friday night entered Soldau. on
the Warsaw-Danzig Railroad, approx
imately fifteen miles northwest of
Mlawa. solemnly declared to a deputa
tion of inhabitants that this territory
would never again belong to P.land. ac
cording to despatches received here to
day
The Polish burgomaster of Soldau
fled. The Russians appointed a cltl
xens' committee from which Poles were
excluded. The citizens are Jubilant, the
despatches say, and the German flag la
again floating over the town.
Workmen of Ratibor, Silesia, forty
four miles southea-st of Oppeln, yester
day stopped and sidetracked a French
troop train, according to the Obersch.
Icstscae Zrifun'ff to-day. Three other
troop trains were stopped elsewhere, the
newspaper says.
The Bolshevik tenders declare that within three weeks they will be in
complete control of Poland, Including the Polish corridor, which they intend
to occupy, leaving a ten kilometer neutral zone nbnut Dnnzlg.
When the correspondent reached here after surreptitiously crossing
the border at Czerwone and employing the aid of Poles Ind a farm wagon
filled with straw, he called on the Polish Soviet commissary, who recently
was established In fhe by the Bolshevik military. Schnmewsky, the com
missary, Is a Polish Jew with protruding eyes and n blond mustache and
wears a white collar. He acknowledged the corresxmtlent's greeting and
then sat down at his dinner table, completely Ignoring tbe American.
At the commissary's sMp throughout the meal and during the corre
spondent's visit a Russian soldier, armed with n revolver, stood watch, and
all the conversation was Interpreted to him in Russian. The commissary's
assistant, who was a former German officer, said this Russian was a Bovtet
representative who watched all business transacted by Scbamewsky hntl
reported to the Soviet Central Government, n I though he never Interfered
with the commissary's procedure.
Commissary Gets Good Meal.
When the cnnmilssary finished his menl, whteo consisted of soup, a
steak smothered with onions, potatoes and beer, he stalked to his office
directing the correspondent to wall. After nn hour he returned, demanded
the correspondent's passports, which he gave a cursory inspection, and then
returned to his office.
After waiting two hours the correspondent wandered about the town
talking to the Inhabitants, among whom were many Jews. He was told
they did not know whether they were going under Russian, Polish or

REDS BEGIN CHURCH
WAR BY ATTACK HERE
Try to Murder Canon Irvine
Rioters at Russian Service.
An attempt to murder Canon Ingra
ham N. W. Irvine of the Church of th.
Transfiguration, In Eat Seventeenth
street, two weeks ago was revealed
only yesterday, when police guards
were called In to protect the priests
Ot the Russian Cathedral of St Nicho
las from Bolshevik outbreaks. The at
lempt on Canon Irvine', life and an up
roar begun ln the Russian Cathedral
yesterday morning during the special
rtyiantlan services were connected as
having been planned by the same per
sons, according to the Russian clergy.
More than 1.B00 persons were In the
cathedral yesterday when the radical
e'f ment that had gained admission Inter
r.ipted the communion sendee. Arch
bishop Alexander, who presided, was ad
ministering communion to T. Eaerett
l'arre, the author, when catcalling
started. It I. believed th.t Mr. Har-e'.
i nverslon to the orthodox faith coupled
v.ith his writings against Bolshevlrm
had caused the followers of the Bolshe
vikl to congregate ln the edifice In th.
hope that they might mar the occasion.
As soon as the trouble began police
men stationed around the Inside of th.
church closed In on the part where the.
noi.e seemed to be centred. But they
failed to And the men who had stamped
their feet and booed. Persona ln the
congregation said the disturbers had
fled.
Abbot P.trlck. who preached the sr
rr.on at the cathedral, expressed the
belief th.t a Bol.hvlk element was
responsible for the disorder. He .aid
the fact that the Russian Orthodox
Church and the Roman Catholic Church
r.re fighting the movement at every
pngle is responsible for the enmity.
As described by Abbot Patrick, th.
.(tempt on C.non Irvine', life was al
most successful. Potson was p'aced In
tii communion wine. The aged clergy
man he i "0 year, old noticed a
peculiar burning sensation ln his mouth
tnd throat a. h. .wallowed the wine
and Immediately took measure, to save
himself. Only quick work by hi. physi
cian prevented death. Th. matter, It WM
said, Had been reported to the police.
