The two nations are practically at ptr. Probable action was forecast by receipt at the state department of a long communication from the American legation at Warsaw. It Includes the summary of * note sent by the Polish foreign office giving Poland's side of the controversy. The Carts set forth in the Polish note are: • X That when the Polish forces re- •' treated before the Invading soviet ~*#my the Lithuanian government made JUS arrangement with the soviets by which Russian forces were given free use of Lithuanian territory for military purposes, Including passage of -troops. 2. That when Poland was forced to *€facuate Augustow and Sejuy, recog- '4N&ed as ethnographical Poland territory by the supreme council on December 8, Lithuanian troops occupied -it aad committed excesses against the Polish population. 3. That later, when the Polish army re-entered this territory In an advance against the soviets, Lithuania sent a note to Poland stating that the frontiers as formerly drawn could not be recognized and asking the Poles to withdraw beyond the Grajewo-Augustow line. Poland replied by asking Lithuania to withdraw beyond the frontiers accorded Poland by the su- •Spt'eme council. " The Polish communication to the United States recites that, although her claims to the territory In question Were clearly established and In face Of her conciliatory attitude, Lithuanian forces attacked a Polish detachment at Sejuy on September 2, subsequently attacked SuwalH and advanced •pon Augustow. It is further charged by Poland that •Dvlet troops co-operated with Lithuanian forces and that still larger Russlan forces were mobilized back of the Lithuanian line of advance.

FtnK Line Wltf Consist of 800,000 fte* ulars--National Guard With 435,- 000 Will Form Second Line. Washington, Sept. 101--The #ar Separtment it was announced here. Is completing the organization for a vast emergency army, the greater portion of which can be mobilized and equipped for offense or defense within twenty-four hours. Under the plan the first line will consist of the regular army of 300,000 troops; the National Guard, with 435,000 officers and men, will form the second line. A reserve force for which 70,000 officers have already been appointed and 12,000 more are under consideration, will form the final and by far the most numerous section. While the number of troops In the reserve force Is not definitely fixed, the skeleton organization will be such that it can be expanded to any size the emergency may require. The only limit will be the number of men of draft age in the "United States. As planned, the new National Guard will not only be trained as coast artillery, anti-aircraft unit* regiments of heavy guns and howitzers, ammunition and supply trains, etc, but all combat commands will be armed with rifles, pistols or machine guns, ao that any local unit will be operated as infantry at wilL.

Doubt has been expressed that each strength can be maintained. As an Inducement in that direction, the following annual scale of pay, to include at least 49 drills and 15 days' Held service has been fixed: Captain, $704.88; first lieutenant, $462.72; second lieutenant, $87<L96; sergeants first class, $223.30; sergeants, second class, $140,12; sergeants, fourth class, $115.20; corporal, $94,72; private, first class, |74£8; private, $64.

Washington, Sept 18.--Any initiated person can obtain a drink more or less openly in any of a thousand places In New York. Approximately one-tenth of the drinking places in the ten biggest cities are doing business. About 50,000,000 gallons of whisky is stored In 350 small bonded warehouses In various sections of the country, and it is being smuggled out and sold In spite of all that government officials can do to prevent it New York, Chicago, Baltimore and Philadelphia are wet cities. Accusation of bribery, graft and general dishonesty have been so general that not a government agent is free from suspicion, although by far the vast majority are innocent This startling condition of affairs was revealed by Prohibition Commissioner Kramer here. "The most puzzling problem we face Is punishment of violation of the Volstead law. We have made more than three thousand arrests in New York alone, and I am sure that practically everyone arrested Is guilty. Still we have the greatest difficulty In obtaining convictions. Very few states have prohibition laws. This Is the case In New York, Illinois, Louisiana and Pennsylvania. So we must go to the federal courts. Federal judges resent having their courts turned Into police courts, and many of them are not sympathetic.

Two types in particular seem to find the liquor business profitable In ten big cities. The first Is composed mostly of foreigners who have stills and wineries In their kitchens and sell liquor about town. The other class, which Includes many small capitalisje and criminals of various sorts, operates in a far more ambitious, way.
