/ 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.

BANANAS MAKE BERLIN GLAC
After Five Years' Absence, This Na
tlve ef the Tropics Is Real
Symbol of Peace.
As I was passing down the Fried
rlchstrasse, says a correspondent of th<
London Times, writing fryn Berlin
my eye was caught by a crowd o
people which suddenly collected b
front of a delicatessen shop.
It was only with difficulty that on<
could get near enough te see what 1
was that attracted so much attentlos
I heard exclamations of wonder ant
admiration, and on looking a llttl
more closely saw?a bunch of banana
which the slfopkeeper had Just huni
up In the window and which was i
novelty to the Berllners, who for neai
ly five years have seen not a trae
of this fruit, once so plentiful an<
cheap In the capital.
The smiling faces and little Joke
made It qnlte evident that (he bnnani
was recognized as a symbol of peace
and that the delight felt at lti
presence was due to the evidence 1
afforded that the blockade Is ?
thing of the past.
8ome Airplane Gas la Pink.
There Is a difference between auto
mobile gasoline and airplane gasoline
For aircraft the gas must be Ughte
and more volatile, that Is, evaporat*
more readily, than ordinary gas. 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.

J NO HELP FROM THE DOCTOR
* Abundant Reason for the Depression

Bug's Attitude.
I The golf bug has a sad face. He la
plainly out of sorts. Something Is the
? matter with him. He has just come
from the doctor's office where he has
undergone a thorough physical examination.
He Is sore and depressed, but
not from what the doctor found, but
s from what he refused to Had.
t, "You are all right," said the learned
f physician. "You are as sound as a
i nut"
Th^t was a little joke the golf bug

s Ancient Cornerstone Laying.
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.
