in Numbers
Warsaw, July 22 -(By the Associated
Press). The bolshevik thrust in the
'direction of Eokolka, west of Grodno,
has carried them past the Polish boun
dary line set by the council of am
bassadors. Along the railroad in this
region the P'le are reported to be
.fighting to stem the momentum of the
southwesterly curve, which is swing
ing the reds toward Poland's capital,
but in many places the tired Pole are
compelled to withdraw, without much
resistance, in the face of overwhelming
' numbers of fresh bolshevik troops.
Bolshevik reserve divisions assem
bled by General Brussiloff, weeks prior
to the launching of the offensive, are
daily being thrown in all along the
northern front. They are making head
way against the' scattered Polish lines
in the open country, where both eides
.necessarily have thin lines at many
places owing to the length of the front
attacked or defended. It js not war
fare like that in France, where vir
tually every inch was protected.
Many spurts and gains are made by
the reds in drives with divisions or de
tachments between poorly defended
troops or through a gap between with
drawing or manoeuvring troops with
their flanks unprotected.

Operated through the department of
the interior, over which Manuel

Mario Mendes, general manager of the
national telegraph lines, as chief cen
sor, the censors were a factor not to
be disregarded up until May 7, when
the Carranza government evacuated
the capital. During the war, charges of
pro-Germans against Berlanga and
Mendez often were linked with inti

to the Germans in Mexico.
Not only were allied business inter

PATHWAY TO THE SEA
Proposed from the Great Lakes as an
Outlet for Shipments.
Detroit, Mirh., July 22. Charles K.
Anderson of Chicago, vice-president of
the American Manufacturers' Export
association, urged development of a wa
terway from the Great Lakes to the
Atlantic ocean to lieve congestion in
New York harbor, in speaking to-day
before the Great Lakes-St.Lawrence
tidewater congress.
In answering opponents of the pro
ject to develop the St. Lawrence, who,
Mr. Anderson said, had asserted the
plan was not feasible because the St.
Lawrence was frozen over during a
part of eaech year, the speaker said
that "so far as shipments are con
cerned the New York harbor has been
frozen up during two-thirds of the last
year."
Calling attention to the congestion
of freight in New York, Mr. Anderson
declared the expense of making the St.
Lawrence a pathway to the sea would
b" trifling when compared with the re
sults. "The life and happiness of the Great

SAVED BY A COCK'S CROW,
Lewiston Man Relates a father Unus
ual Story.
A curious story was told the Journal
by J. A. McCluskey, who for the past
two months has been at Mart el's drug
store on Lisbon street. It was over on
Oak hill, Litchfield, at the home of
Charles Collins, where a white Wyan
dotte rooster immortalized his name
and secured a happy home by saving a
stand of buildings from destruction by
fire.
By strenuous efTorts Mrs. Collins suc
ceeded in getting the fire under con
trol, and then he adopted the rooster
and declared him an inmate of his
home. Since then the bird roosts on
the footboard of his bed and has the
best food that the place affords. As
long as he lives that house will be
his home and that footboard his roost
ing place. That his crowing at mid
night was an alarm that saved the
house there? can be no doubt. That's
the story of why one bird has the best
the market alTords and is cared for like a
baby. Lewiston Journal.

Calls It a Kangaroo Ticket.
Harding and Coolidge is a ticket
which has elements of strength, prob
ably as many as could be gathered to
gether after the really strong men of
the party had been rendered unavail
able. The combination seems made to
order for the platform on which it must
stand.
Harding always has been a party
regular, and as lieutenant-governor and
senator has made many personal and
political friendf, partly through a pleas
ing peraonalit y, but more through the
sheer colorlesxness of his career. Al
ways he has kept carefully in the mid
dle" of the road. He has trained with
the hounds and run with the hare, and
by disposition and training he is pre
eminently fitted to stand on the plat
form hi party has sdopted. He is a
candidate who has no "past"' to rice up
and plague him, he at least brings no
charge of corruption to burden his cam
paign, and he can stand on any and
every plank of the duplicitous U. O. P.
platform with no qualms of conscience
and no violation of political principle.
What more could his party desire in a
candidate, even if his selection was
forced upon it!
Coolidge, in serosd plaeeretands for
one thing definite, and in this respert
he gives the ticket' its kangaroo char
acter. He may be no more able than
Harding in fact, his is a political acci
dent but his firm stand for law and
order during the police strike in Bos
ton made him a national figure, drew
furth the commendation of the national
administration, and marked him a com
ing man. He has not failed to capital
ize this one outstanding incident of his
career.
Should Cox chance to be the Demo
cratic nominee, the carefully Isid plana
of the G. O. P. may fall, for Cox is the
man in Ohio who has given Harding a
political drubbing, and he doubtless
could repeat.
The ticket is not as strong as a
Harding-Johnson combination would
have proved. Richmond Times Dis

OPENING CHANNEL TO NEW YORK
Dredging Operations are Being Con
ducted lh JSast River,
New York, July 24. Death by
drowning or dynamite these are chief
among the dangers facing the men
who are dredging the Kast river to
Long Island sound, that New York
may have another deep-sea passage to
the Atlantic.
How this undertaking, which will re
quire 15 to 20 years and on expenditure
of $55,000,000 to $75,000,000 is being
carried out was told here to-day by
officials of the dredging company, which
is doing the work.
"Most of the work must be done dur
ing the slack water period at the
change of tides and, as there is gen
erally from 500 to 1,000 pounds of dy
namite aboard each drill boat the dan
ger of being rammed by parsing craft
and sent to the bottom is complicated
with the possibility of being blown
into the air," one official i.aid.
"In Hell Gate we are demolishing
Frying Pan reef which is 480 feet by
8t!0 feet. From eight to ten months
will be required to complete this task.
A drill boat is being warped across
it in parallel paths 30 feet apart, drill
ing holes into "which from 100 to 150
pounds of dynamite is parked and ex
ploded. A dipper dredge, following the
drill boat, loads the blasted rock into
scows for dumping into holes 75 feet
deep or more into the river. This lev
eling of the river bottom removes the
source of eddies, smoothing the cur
rent. "Pot Bock, another reef in Hell
Gate, will be destroyed next. Be
cause of treacherous currents for which
it is responsible. Pot Rock is known as
the wicked spot in American waters.
'The longest slack water period reg
istered in Hell Gate durin the last
40 vears was 23 minutes. It is with
in that slack period that drilling points
must be located, charges planted and
fired and the position of the plant
changed. Divers on this work are gen
erally unable to spend more than 15
minutes under water at a time, so that
they work but half an hour In a 24
hour day.
"As a precaution against being
rammed by passing craft the navy de
partment "and customs house oflieials
have warned operators and owners of
vessels to keep a safe distance from
dredging plants. For non-compliance
with this warning 85 captains were
arraigned recently within a period of
ten days. Many were suspended for
from 10 days to'six months.
"When the collision signal is sound
ed on one of the dredging vesocls, each
of the dynamite crew, wearing life
belts, grabs a box of the explosives
and stands by to jump overboard.
"The project of drediring the East
river to the sound was first undertak
en 40 years ago te provide New York
harbor" with an entrance which would
not require continuous dredging like
Ambrose ehsnnel, where five govern
ment dredges are constantly removing
the infiltrating eands. Flood Rock, in
Hell Gate, was then removed and some
lesser work accomplished before the ap
propriation was exhausted."
When Flood Rock was blasted a
charire of 100.000 pounds of dvnamite
was fired, th.it official ttid. I-aunche
on the river a mile away were lifted
three feet out of the water, but no
damage resulted.

If you are troubled with back aches,

likely to bring on rheumatism.
The urine is often cloudy, full of
sediment, your sleep disturbed by being

PLUTOCRATIC GERMANY,.
Social Unrest is Decreasing and Peo
ple Are Going to Work
One of the clearest impressions I
derived from my trip into Germany
occupied and unoccupied) is that so
cial ' unrest is decreasing. This does
not, of course, mean that there will be
no further internal disorders; on the
contrary, I am inclined to believe, that
the extremist minority will take an
early opportunity of trying its
strength, possibly by a widespread
strike in connection with the levying
of an income tax from the previously
exempt working classes. Nevertheless,
little by little, Germany is resuming
her old' habits of discipline, order and
work.
The atmosphere is quite different
from what it was six months ago, and
public opinion, always largely molded
by external agencies, seems to have
crystalized along traditional lines. Both
the extreme nationalists and the ex
treme socialists are without any real
influence. There is even-where a return
to saner political conceptions. While os
tensibly adhering to monarchial prin
ciples, the people's party itself does not
seek the rehabilitation of the Hohen
tollems, as demanded by ths nationsl-ii-ts
(although I did detect quite a good
deal of sympathy for the crown prince,
which is 'quite different from the feel
ing that existed a year ago).
Although not likely to obtain control
of the government this time, the peo
ple's psrty seem to have more execu
tive ability and more constria-tive im
agination than all the other parties
put together. They certali!y have
plenty of money and brains.
Unless I am very much mistaken,
Germany is going to develop into a
highly organized plutocracy, possibly
with "a certain amount of soeislistic
window-dressing. Bismsrck's state in
surance schemes, old age pensions,
etc., were at one time the furbelows of
military autocracy. To veil the inhu
manity of man's jrreed. the plutocracy
of to-morrow will doubtless seek to
gild the fetters cf labor by minimum
ware sgreementa. state control of food
prices, etc., but Germany will be gov
erned by a few rfc-h men who have the
vision to see that their own prosperity
is dependent upon the contentment and
prosperity of the people they govern.
The Germany of the next few years
will, in many respects, bear a striking
likeness to what the United .tes was
under the Republican regimtrom lSW
to 1912, when Wall street and the
great interests controlled to such a
large extent the policy 'of the govern
ment. Labor was kept happy with a
"full dinner pail," the trusts wsxed
rich, snd the consumer paid the bill.
People got high wages, but their net
increment at the end of the year was
less thsn in other snd sppsrently less
prosperous countries.
Of one thing I am well convinced,
snd that is, that there is no danger
of iH.lshevism in Germany. Nearly 20
months have elapsed since the revolu
tionary movement, which overthrew
the older order of thinr. Germany has
had the sporadic outbreaks of extrem
ists, and she will have them again, but
disorder is utterly repugnant to the
German mind, and the majority, the
great majority, of Germans cling to the
things that were best in the lives of
their fathers.
Ormany has rat off military im
perial ism. but she is unable to govern
brroelf. A few men of action, business
men and financiers, are going to gov
ern ber, and she will welcome their
guidance and do their bidding. Ia or
der to obtain from the allies some re
laxation in the terms imposed upoa
Germany, hf new masters will from
time t time brandish the boyey of
boHhesism. but it will be a beery

AMERICAN MILITARY
ORDER CHANGED
Army Officers Say the Work Will Not
Be Completed for Some Months
Because of the Broad Scope
of the Measure.
Washington, D. C, July 24. Ameri
ca's military establishment is being
practically revolutionized under the
terms of the new army reorganization
bill which became effective July first.
Army officers say the work will not
be completed for some months because
of the broad scope of the measure
passed at the last session of Congress
to place the land forces on a perma
nent peace basis.
While the regular army will con-
tain only 205,000 officers and men scat
tered over the country and- the insular
possessions, it will be so arranged in
conjunction with the national guard
and the reserve that rapid expansion of
the nation's .fighting forces in time of
emergency will be possible.
The national guard will have about
440,000 officers and men, but the
strength of the reserve has not yet
been worked out and will depend large
ly on the enlistment of eligibles. The
regular army reserve as it formerly
existed, composed of former enlisted
men furloughed to the reserve to com:
plete their enlistment period ceaed to
exist as such on July 1. In Its place
there is established the enlisted re
serve corps and the officers' reserve
corps. The members of the former, ex
cept vetersnts of the World war, are
required to enlist for three years. Vet
erans of the World war may enlist for
only one year.
The officers reserve corps is composed
of officers who held temporary or rev
serve commissions during the war
emergency and graduates of the stu
dent officers training school.
To accomplish the reorganization of
the national truaxd and the initial or
ganization of the reserve, the army bill
provides for a general committee to be
composed of regular army general staff
officers and an equal number of reserve
or national guard officers. In addition,
iC other committees, representing each
state and territory will arrange the na
tional guard organization in each state
nd territory. Some of these commit
tees have not been appointed by the
governors and consequently this work
has not yet been put under way.
While no full plan of organiration
has been msde public, a tentative plan
to be placed before the committees
would divide the country into nine dis
tricts with an army corps in eech. This
corps would consist of one regular, one
guard snd two reserve divisions, so or
ganized that ia SO emerbency the two
reserve divisions, which theoretically
would be the onlv ones much below
war strength, could be filled up with
selective service men. A full quota of
officers drawn from the officers' reserve-
corps would be available for
these divisions at all times.
The new regular army strength pro
vides for approximately 17.000 com
missioned officers. To provide this
number about 7,000 reeerve and tem
porary officers hsve been kept on dutv
and it is the an to reach the full
officer strength by commissioning about
7,000 such officers and en!U(frd men in
the permanent army. Officers and men
tO M SO COramiSSloIICU win icicvcm
by a board, known aa the Pershing
board, headed by General Pershing and
