THE BEE: OMAHA SATURDAY, MARCH 22, 1919. 1 STRONG POLAND NEEDED TO KEEP IIUNSJN LEASH Germany Not Yet Beaten in East and Has Designs Upon ' Russia, Declares Pre mier Paderewski. Warsaw, March 21. Germany, although defeated in the west, is not yet beaten in the east, and if its aims in that part of Europe are to be frustrated and there is to be peace, there must be a strong Po land, Jan Ignace Paderewski, the premier of Poland, declared today. In outlining the present situation ot Poland and its relation to the whole European question, Premier Paderewski said: "The importance to the peace of Europe of a strong and united Po land cannot be exaggerated. Ger many made war not for honor and ideals, but for markets and raw ma terials. The war has not yet been won. Germany is ready to ac knowledge itself beaten in the west, but not in the east. Want Raw Materials. J'The same men who organized the present war count on reorganiz ing Russia in their own ' interests. If they do so they will have an end less supply of labor and raw ma terial, hi addition to wheat, they will have cotton from Turkestan, oil and great lumber supplies from the forests of Russia and immense coal and iron deposits, to say noth ing of gold, platinum and other min erals. With these reinforcements Germany would inevitably stamp its dominion on the whole world. Think of the effect on the splendid body of America'.; highly paid labor if Germany trained and directed the cheap labor of Russia and China. No one could compete with such cheap production. " "What stands in Germany'? way Is not France or England, which are to far off. Germany is at the gates Of disorganized Russia, and once let it combine with the bolsheviki and reorganize Russia, as it will have the leisure to do in peace time, it will dominate the world. A strong Poland alone can block this plan. i Protect Civilization. '"From time immemorial it has been the task of Poland to protect civilization from the hordes of Asia. Organized by Germany they would be a machine to crush democratic civilization. This Germany would do by breaking the standard ot liv ing of the western peoples. For the present task we need a free nation to cope with Germany in influencing the development of Russia. "Danzig we must have, because without it our commerce would al ways be at the mercy of Germany. With Danzig we must have the Vis tula river, which is navigable almost to Cracow. It is an artery which, with its tributaries, gives life to the body of the Polish nation. : 'From Danzig to Posen the ma jority of the population is Polish. The country is a garden and it fur nishes two-thirds of the potatoes for Germany. The people are in dustrious, somewhat slow, but good organizers. They will furnish con structive men for the development of our country. , - Need Coal Land. "Upper Silesia is even more Polish than Posen. It will be the center of our iron industry. It is a pity that the Czecho-Slovak have at tempted to deprive us of the Tes chen region, which is inhabited in great part by Poles. The Bohemians do not need the coal there, because they have many thousand tons for export in addition to what they use in, their own country. I hope the Congress in Paris will not deprive the people of this region of their right to national unity with Poland. It might have disastrous effects. "In eastern Galicia a majority of tht inhabitants are Ruthenians. The distinction between them and the Poles is not racial, but only religious and linguistic. The Ruthenians be long to the Greek church, which recognizes the authority of Rome. When a Polish woman marries a Ruthenian, the girls are classed as Poles and the boys become Ruthen ians and vice versa. Thus in the same family you will find Ruthen iatft and Poles, speaking the lan guages of both countries and with the only distinction "being the re ligious rite in the same church. The Polish peasants in eastern Galicia are enthusiastic over their newly found national unity, freedom and independence. "This patriotism is rooted deeply in the Polish people and will cement our nation in a strong barrier against bolshevism on the one hand and against pan-Germanism on the other if we receive from the peace conference those districts which will give use real independence na tionally, industrially and commer cially, v I hope that the American people will help us to attain this end." Holdrege to Continue to Be Driest of State Cities Holdrege, Neb., "March 21. (Spe cial.) At the caucus held by the prohibition party of the city of Holdrege, Monday evening, the out going city officers were renomin ated. ,The concensus of opinion seems to be in favor of these officers hold ing over another term, as they have started the municipal light .plant work, and it is thought they being familiar with the entire affair, are better fitted to carry this work to a satisfactory conclusion. ' Their nom ination means their election as there .s no opposing party or candidate. , One of the candidates promised not to make Holdrege any drier than it is at present; he asserts that there will be plenty of city water, and lots of rain (maybe) for the crops. As ,to booze, Holdrege has the reputa tion tor being trie driest city in the United States. Three Candidates for Mayor. Wymore, Neb., March 21. (Spe cial.)- Three candidates have en tered the race for mayor of Wymore it the spring municipal election. They are George Cum, present mayor; Charles Hansen, present city clerk, and M L. Rawfings. The latter has served three terms as mayor and is after the office for a fourth time. One Lone Man Blocks Plan of Brick Makers to Drop Price Brick Manufacturers Deny Rumor That Price of $15.50 Will Drop $3; Quotation in East Reduced From $1 to $2 on Face Brick During the Past Week, Is Statement. Eastern manufacturers have in the past week dropped $1 and $2 from the price of face brick, which sells at $25, according to D. B. Porter of the Twin City Brick company. "The reduction was made only by manufacturers who had been operating on a war basis on government contracts. These factories were not forced to suspend business and so have not the losses to contend with that Omaha manufacturers have borne during the war," he said. Brick manufacturers deny the cur rent rumor that the price of com mon brick, now quoted at $15.50, is scheduled to drop $3 per thou sand. The cost at the yards is $13.50, with a 50-cent discount if paid by the 10th of the next month. "It can't be done!" they chorus. The story current in business cir cles is that all brick manufacturers, with the exception of one man, said to be the largest manufacturer in Omaha, agreed to the above reduc tion, if the action was general. The one manufacturer blocks the plan, according to builders' gossip. Admits Price too High. One brick dealer, out of eight in terviewed by The Bee, admitted the price of brick was too high. He is manager of one of the largest brick yards in Omaha. "I believe the volume of business which would accrue from a reduction in the price of brick and other build ing material would result in more profit to the building material deal ers than the retention of present prices," he said. "Why don't you put your theory into practice?" he. was asked. "I'm only the manager of this YANKS DEFEAT ENEMY PATROLS ON DVINA FRONT Thaws Soon Will Stop Land Fighting and Bolsheviki Will Have Advantage When Rivers Open. Archangel, March 21. Patrol ac tivity has increased considerably along the Vologda railway and on the Dvina front. On both sectors the bolsheviki have been defeated by the American and allied troops A small bolshevik raiding party, making its way over the snow, sur prised an allied artillery position in the forests near the Vologda rail way. Alter considerable lighting in the darkness, the raiders were re pulsed, leaving a number of dead behind. Following up last Friday s success on the Dvina, when the Americans and Russians repulsed a raid against the allied lines of communication, an American patrol today encoun tered a bolshevik patrol in a wood. A number of the bolsheviki were killed and the others in the party were made prisoners. Thaws Will Change Situation. As the winter has been unusually mild in north Russia, it is expected that within a month thaws will come to make extensive land fighting im practicable. The bolsheviki will have a big advantage when the rivers open. The Dvina and Vaga rivers will be navigable near the fighting front before the Dvina is opened fur ther nOTth around Archangel. This condition would permit the bolshe vik gunboats, which have spent the winter at Krasnoborsk and Kotlas, to reach the vicinity of Beresniki before the allied river flotilla can steam southward to meet them. Efforts are being made, however, to speed up the arrival of the allied fleet in the fighting zone in order to confine the bolshevik advantage to the shortest time possible. In the meantime, as long as the present cold weather continues, it is a race against time to move over the snow, before the thaw comes, sufficient big guns and ammunition to hold the enemy boats in check until the allied vessels can move southward. In this work the allied transport service is performing a stupendous task in spite of the shortage of hay and Oats, which has weakened the horses for the long hauls over the snow and added greatly to the difficulties of the situation. Ukrainians Resume Offensive. Berne, March 21. The Ukrainian forces of General Petlura have suc cessfully resumed the offensive, ac cording to advices to the Swiss .tele graph agency from Proskuroff, the seat of the Petlura government. The position of the bolsheviki ( in the Ukraine, is ,declared to be critical Advancing northward from Pros kuroff, the Ukrainians are reported to have reoccupied Sarny, an im portant railway junction southeast of Brest-Litovsk. Along the railway line running from Sarny to Vilna the Ukrainians have occupied Dom brovitsa and Stolin. They also have driven the bolseviki from the line of the Gorny rived, in the Pripet marshes. . Emil Elk Charged With Murder, Goes to Another Jail Rapid City, S. D., March 21. Special Telegram.) Emil Elk, ' the Indian, is being transferred tonight from Custer county to the Minne haha county jail, where he will be held to await trial at Deadwood in May on the charge of murder and assault of his stepdaughter, Minnie Ghost. According , to assistant United States Dictrict Attorney George Phillip, in charge of the case, the crime was committed on Pine Ridge reservation February 12 last. business. The owner does not share my views," he replied. Ralph De Long of the Standard Brick company, scored Omaha real tors who had initiated the revolt against high prices of building ma terials. Means Big Investment. "Any man can buv a $25 desk and chair and rent office space and set up in the rear estate business. He doesn't have to invest one penny. Crick and lumber dealers have huge investments in their yards and plants on which they must realize adequate returns. A 33 per cent profit in our line of business is not too much," he said. "If the lumber men are getting 50 per cent profit, as the realtors charge, that is tqo much, but 33 per cent is not excessive," he said. . Cut of $3 Impossible. A $3 cut in prices would be im possible, Omaha's brick prices as they stand are too low," said Mr. De Long. "Our prices are not out of line with the charge made all over this part "Of the country. "Labor and coal are the two prin cipal items in the manufacture of brick. Labor has doubled, we are paying $5 per day for common la bor; the price of coal has gone up enormously, too. The brick men are certainly not asking unreasona ble prices for their product. Any reduction will have to come slowly; there can be no sudden drop," he said. McCaffrey Bros, quoted a price of $15.25 net. "No drop in prices can be considered," the manager said, "because the company had not done business for such a long time that it would have to make up for losses now. "Our former capacity of turning out 40,000 bricks a day is now re duced to 28,000 for the same expense of labor and material. That's why prices are high," he said. NEUTRALS WANT 8 MEMBERS IN LEAGUE COUNCIL Amendment to Covenant by Switzerland Safeguards Na tional Sovereignty and Monroe Doctrine. Paris, March 21. The representa tives of the neutral states concluded their examination of the final r ticles of the league of nations cov enant this afternoon. Lord Robert Cecil, chairman, thanked the dele gates for the drafts submitted by them which, he said, had greatly facilitated the work of the confer ence. The first 14 articles were passed by without suggestion of material amendment. Among pending amend ments is one giving the neutral states a representation of eight members on the executive council, and another by Switzerland relative to the Monroe doctrine and the safe guarding of national sovereignty. . Draft Transit, Labor Clauses. A draft of, clauses regarding the freedom of transit to be inserted in the treaty of peace was consider ed today by the peace conference commission on the international regime of ports, waterways and rail ways. The clauses were presented by the British delegation. The meeting, which was held at the min istry of public works, adjourned at 1 o'clock p. m. The peace conference commis sion on international labor legisla tion today considered the final draft of the labor clauses to be included in the treaty of peace.

Recent reports from the coast stated that Ritchie has announced his retirement from the boxing game for all time. There were hopes that the former light weight champion would continue at the game following his sensational victory over Champion Benny Leo nard at San Francisco recently. Ritchie is fairly well supplied with worldly goods and for several years following his loss of the title was engaged in a lucretive business in San Francisco.

Washington, March 21. Complete schedules of new prices for steel and iron products agreed upon by representatives of the steel indus try and the industrial board of the Department of Commerce were an nounced today after members of the board had conferred with Attorney General Palmer. The announce ment was taken as an indication that efforts to reduce and stabilize prices through agreement with pro ducers would not be opposed by the Department of Justice. Steel men, who in joint confer ence with the board framed the new schedule, before leaving Washington yesterday, said it was understood that the question of price agree ments was to be laid before the attorney general. Chairman Peek of the board, however, after the visit to Mr. Palmer's office said the board had "merely paid a social call on the new attorney general." New Scale Effective at Once. The new prices, which generally represent reduction from 10 to 14 per cent, become effective at once for 1919 and represent the first ef forts of the industrial board at price stabilization and reduction to a peace term basis. In approving schedules submitted by the steel men, the board, according to a statement, adopted a policy to be followed in agreements with producers of other basio commodities. This policy, it was said, is to strike a balance that "while calling sooner or later for some sacrifice or adjustments on the part of all, yet will not subject any of these interests to undue hard ship." Judge E. H. Gary of the United State Steel corporation, and chair man of the committee representing the American Iron and Steel insti tute, which conferred with the board, said the new rates were agreed upon with a view to bringing about a re vival and stabilization of business through prices favorable to the con suming public and yet yielding a reasonable return to investors in the industry. He expressed the belief that the new prices would not dis turb wage rates or wage agreements. New Price and Reductions. The new prices and the reductions are: Pig Iron, basic, $25.75; reduction, $4.25; billets, four-Inch, $38.50; reduction, $5; bil lets, two-Inch, $42; reduction, $5: sheet bars, $42; reduction, $5; slabs, $41; re duction, $5.

Origin of "Sleeping Sickness" Unknown, Says'Dr. Flexner Albany, N. Y., March 21. Dr. Si mon Flexner, director of the Rocke feller Institute for Medical Research and a member of the state public health council, in a statement to night gave his views regarding leth argic encephalitis, the disease which recently has appeared in various parts of the United States and Can ada. Dr. Flexner studied the disease abroad. "For the present, the disease should be viewed as of unknown causation," he said. "Its relation to other diseases, namely influenza and infantile paralysis, is merely conjec tural. "It is not even established that in Europe encephalitis lethargica showed any chronological relation ship to the influenza epidemic, as has been the case in this country. It is highly important that Suspected cases of lethargic encephalitis shall be. studied both clienically and path ologically, with as much care as pos sible." - Hitchcock to Quit Golf and Talk League of Nations Washington, D.

Witnesses examined today at the opening ses sion of the legislative commission's inquiry into the high cost of build ing material declared that increased cost of production was responsible for the present prices which it is charged are delaying a resumption of construction work of all kind. The manufacturers of building material denied charges of profiteer ing and explained that high prices were based on increased cost of la bor, freight ra.tes and raw products. No reduction in price could be ex pected, they said until there was a decrease in the various items that made up the cost of production. A majority of the manufacturers believed that the reduction, 'woul come gradually and that hot much relief could" be expected for about a year. They looked for no reduc tion in wages until the cost of liv ing was reduced and it was agreed that labor was perhaps the most im portant item in the cost of produc tion in many lines. Several officials of manufacturing companies testified that they had operated at a loss for several years. Chairman John Dailey of Peoria, said that if price fixing combinations were found to exist the state might be compeled to subject the manu facture of building material to dras tic regulation and control.
