bolshe\?ki enter / TOWN OF SOKOLOW Ixmdon, August 9.?Russian Bol' sheviki troops have broken into the . town of Sokolow, about 40 miles east northeast of Warsaw, and have oc\ cupied several points south of BrestLitovsk, according to an official statement issued in Moscow yesterday and received here by wireless. / .At Malkin, a railroad junction on the Bug river about four miles southeast of Ostrow, the Bolsheviki have beaten off fierce counter-attacks by 4 the Poles, the statement said. It adds that Soviet troops on the northern front are successfully advancing toward the Narew river. In the direction of Seidlce and LuJ kow the fighting continues with alter^ nate success, the statement says. On the southern front, Bolsheviki forces debauched along the river Bug on August 6, striking the Polish lines from Ulodaya to Karytinki village, advancing to the town of Valdimir-Volh>?msk and developing their advance south of that town. In the Tarnopol region in Galicia, the Bolsheviki have driven back the Poles to the upper reaches of the Stripa river. Along the Crimean front fighting is proceeding favorably to the Soviet army, the statement says. Russian Bolsheviki attacks apparently have broken the Polish lines near the east Prussian frontier, and Soviet cavalry patrols have swept forurn i n U err mi f pnpi tvl i r? rr mnuom on f north of Warsaw. In the center of the Polish front the Soviet armies also seem to have torn a great gap in the defenses of Warsaw. Prazasnyz, a city 41 miles north of Warsaw, has been occupied by three advance guards of the Bolshevik horde, which have passed on and are reported to be approaching Mlawa, to the west, and Ciechanow, to the southwest. The loss of Przasnyz is admitted in an official statement in Warsaw last night and it would seem that the Soviet horsemen are advancing almost without serious opposition. On Friday, the Bolsheviki were reported fighting the Poles near Myszen.yiec, near the east Prussian border. When they broke through it is not known, but it appears they have gained at least ten miles in the last three days. Polish troops have been en trenching their lines east of Mlawa, ,which is situated on the railroad line running from Warsaw to Danzig. . * It Is believed that they will make a desperate effort to prevent the cap ture of this city by the Soviet armies. Coincident with the Bolsheviki ad"* * vance on the north, the Polish lines from south of Ostrov to west of Brest Litovsk have been forced back. !>ovieh troons have forced their wav into Sokolow and are reported to be fighting east of Seidlce. The Bolsheviki are also said to have taken Piszecazac, west of Brest-Litovsk. In this region they are said to have control of the road leading westward from Brest-Litovsk to Biala. Further south there has been serious fighting, and important successes are claimed by the Bolshevik. Great Britain and France are preparing to take instant action against the Bolsheviki as a consequence of the latters refusal of Premier Lloyd George's request for a ten day truce with the Poles. Ijloyd George conferred with Premier Millerand of France at Hythe, England, yesterday, and heads of the British army and navy were closeted with Marshal Foch at the same place until an early hour this morning. Mr. Lloyd George was to have made a statement in the British House of Commons today, and it was expected he would outline his proposed course of action. Late advices however, state he will defer his declaration until tomorrow. Polish plenipotentiaries will cross the fighting zone oast of Warsaw late today on their way'to Minsk, where they will begin armistice and peace negotiations. The conference at Minsk will begin on Wednesday according to present plans.

Thl causes it to work better at great altl tudes. There are three grades of gas ollne for onr airplanes, one for train lng planes, a better grade of gasollm for bombing planes and the very bes grade for the fighting planes. "Fight lng gas," as It Is called, Is colore* pink. This Is to distinguish It fron other grades so that inexperience* men working at the aviation field will not use this valuable gasoline fo other purposes. This pink gas Is a pure as it can bs produced, refine and doubly refined and strained o filtered until there are no lmpurltie left In It.?American Boy. Holding Down a Profession.

The custom of laying the corneri stone of a public building with cerei monies was practiced by the ancients, e At the laying of the cornerstone when t the capltol of Rome was rebuilt a procession of vestal virgins, robed In J white, surrounded the stone and conn aecrated It with libations of living a water. A prayer to the gods followed, and then the magistrates, priests, senr ators and knights laid hold of the ropes and moved the mighty stone to d Its proper position. In a hollow cut r In the stone were placed Ingots of a gold, silver and other metals which had not been melted In any furnace. With the Jews the cornerstone was considered an emblem of power, and k. they also performed ceremonies at lta y laying. In medieval times the rite lt was taken up by the order of FreeK masons and has by them been brought ? down to modern days, the Masonic g ceremony of laying a cornerstone bej. lng symbolical. d Out of Placo. : Aunt Hannah came home from i, church the other Sunday morning dla* g tlnctly out of sorts.
