RUSSIA PROMISES | BALKAN FREEDOM Policy of Protection Adopted to Prevent Domination by Others, Says Official. By the Associated Press. MOSCOW, September 1.—Soviet Russia yesterday through one of its highest = government authorities adopted an attitude toward the Baltic states suggestive of the protection ex- ercised by the Unlted States over South American countries through the Monroe doctrine. Poland’s recent policy of penetra- tion in the Baltic countries and her mlleged imperfalistic design in other directions prompted the soviet for- eign office to explain Russia’s precise attitude toward Poland as regards the iatter's domination in the Baltic states. Poland's attempt to gain supremacy in Lithuania, Esthonia, Latvia and Finland was a menace to Russia's most vital interests and a direct threat to her frontiers and maritime boundaries, the government's spokes- man_said. “We will never suffer the Baltic eountrles to come under the domina- tlon of any stronger power,” he said. “whether it be Poland, France or Fngland.

The couple have béen engaged to play an important part in Arthur Hammerstein's forthcoming operetta, “Wild Rose,” which is scheduled to open in the metropolis about October 1, after preliminary runs in Wilming- ton and Philadelphia. Miss Zolnay, who began the study of dancing here about three and a half years ago, always has aspired to a place before the footlights. Part- ners were scarce in New York, where she has been studying for-the past 18 months, and besides Mrs. Zolnay had Jaid down a rule that she should SIX BURNED TO DEATH. Three Others Seriously Injured in Tenement Blaze. NEW YORK, September 1 (#).— Six negroes were burned to death and three others—two women and a child—were seriously injured in a fire . that swept through the five-story ten- ement on St. today. Five of the bodles were recovered. Another body i3 known to be in the ruins on one of the upper floors. The fire started on one of the lower | floors and spread with such rapidity that when the firemen arrived the buflding was a_mass of flames.

Caldwell of Monti- cello, 1L, a practicing physician for 47 years, it seemed cruel that so many constipated infants and chil- dren had to be kept constantly | “stirred up” and half sick by taking cathartic pills, tablets, salts, calomel and nasty oils. While he knew that constipation was the cause of nearly all children's little ills, he did not believe that a or “physic” was In Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin he discovered a laxative which helps to establish natural bowel “regularity” even if the child is chronically con- {stipated. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pep- sin not only causes a gentle, easy bowel movement but, best of all, it not choose any one not known to her“and to the family. Mr. Wright was studying singing in New York, but needed training as a dancer, so in February of this year she began teaching the young Wash- ingtonian intricate steps. Yesterday Mrs. George T. Sum- merlin, jr., Miss Zolnay's sister, re- ceived word from New York that the two had attracted the attention of a representative of Mr. Hammerstein, and after a trial they were selected Saturday. Miss Zolnay has one of four principal parts in the production. Mr. Wright, in addition to his danc- ing, is given an opportunity for a little singing. ‘The dancers will appear in a tango, Russlan folk -dances and in a panto- mime pecullar to the Slavic legend around which the operetta is built. They will be cast as a peasant boy and girl. Miss Zolnay is a brunette, and Mr. Wright a blond. She is 20, and he is 22, UNSWORN MIDDIE WAITS. ‘Wilbur Personally to Handle Case of Refused Commission.
