PAST SUCCESS EXPLAINED Incapable of Fighting Good Troops Who Are Properly ' , Officered. \ 7 (By Walter Duranty) Paris, Aug. 17.--"Battle for War- saw now raging," has been a headline in the French press for ths past three days. The truth appears to be that the famous Red army consists chief. ly of raiding bands of cavalry, follow- ed at a considerable distance by sec- ond-rate infantry, weakly supported by machine-guns and a number of light balteries. Among the French correspondents mow at Warsaw there Is at least one--Maurice Pelletier, ot the Liberte--who knows something about real war--indeed, he served in France with distinction, winning the war, cross and military medal. He says: "Do the Reds intend to besiege Warsaw? I doubt it. In the state of exhaustion in which they are, a tree felled across a road with a machine-gun behind it would _stop them. x Equipment Worthless. "Their equipment #s worthless. They have neither shoes nor supplies. For instance, all the cooking utensils most of them carry is an old bully beef tin with rusty edges. "Lucky are those who hav» a score or thirty cartridges and ia the artil- lery caissons are twenty shells as a maximum, many of which are duds. And this is compared with the equip- ment of our 75's.

"Perhaps the horsemen advancing plong the German frontier are a trifle better supplied, but the major- ity is an undisciplined horde. - Their morale is non-existent, "A day or two ago a French colonel, alons save for an orderly, put a dozen of them to headlong flight. And ye: they ad- vance!" Society Girls Dig Trenches. "Nevertheless," says the French correspondent, "there is a leaven of patriotism and eagerness for defense of Warsaw. Everywhere there are long files of would-be recruits und even society girls are digging trenches 'and placing barbed | wi terribly. lacking, 8 ling has alienated popu! thy and no chief is here like G 1 be~ fore the Marne, to guide and utilize popular enthusiasm." It is the confirmed opinion of Po- land's French advisers, who have re- gained a large part of their lost as- cendency, that the crafty Reds intend to disarm Poland and then impose such conditions of peace will end forever the Polish barrier hetween Russia and Germany, it they don't submerge Polish independence alto- gether. If the Reds offer reasonable terms, it will be a distinet score for Lloyd George. The French are not quite sure they will not do so, which accounts largely for the much milder tone of the Paris press regarding the Anglo-French "divergence." This improvement is benevolently attrib- uted to soothing conversations be- tween the Anglo-French diplomatie representatives, but that deceives no one. Really Europe is waiting to see what will happen at Minsk. It is the Red knight's move. NEWS OF NAPANEE. The People Are Moving About Holi- quying. es Our Own 'Correspondent Nasagoe.

LIVING PRICES SOAR IN DETROIT, MICH. Increase in June, 1920, Over Pre-War Rates Reaches 136 Per Cent. Detroit, Aug. 17--The six months' period from December, 1919, to June, 1920, showed the largest in- crease in the cost of living in De- Ttroit of any similar period since the beginning of the world war in 1914, according to statistics published here today. : The method of arriving at this conclusion is to measure the precent- age of increase over tN schedule of prices which prevailed in December, 1914, The report for December, 1919, showed that in Detroit the general living cost. was 107.87 per cent. above that of the 1914 level. In June, 1920, this increase had risen to 136 per cent. The largest single increase is in food prices, which had | risen 1dst- December to' 99.47 per cent. above the 1914 normal, and to 132 per cent. in June this*year. A careful comparison of existing prices of foodstuffs in Windsor and Detroit shows practically the same ratio of increase on both sides of the river.

About 10 o'clock, when darkness had set in, the mob, which had grown to immense proportions, determined to get McNeil, began to storm the town hall with bricks and stones. Be- fore long every window in the newly- built building had been shattered gnd then the mob attacked the doors. McNeil, the police officers and several reporters saved their lives by crouch- ing in corners and holding chairs in front of them as volleys of rocks swept through the building. At first several shots were fired out of up- but it did not hinder them. Then flares were thrown through the shat- tered windows and a couple of men rushed a bundle of hay saturated with gasoline into the ground floor. Soon flames burst out and eventually the smoke and flames drove the men, who had been beseiged since early afternoon, down stairs and out. "We surrender," yelled McNoii. as he came down the stairs with <hief Frank Collings of Thorold hanging to his steel wristlet.

A rope, taken from the town flag pole, was run up the pole and preparations made to hang him. He screamed for mercy, while the mob howled like demons. "Give him a chance,' called some one, and that met with popular ap- proval. McNeil spoke for half an hour before the hushed crowd.
