In the tomorrow of the world's history ‘an- other story will be written, and these same men will sharé the opprobrum of future generations with that little group of. political obstructionists who blocked the passage of the leagad in the senate for petty political reasons. * “This fall American honor is at stake, for the issue between the two candidates is, now so clearly defined that there is N6 excuse for any voter who attempts to evade the issue. “Everybody in® Turope knows that the league is a practical, working organiza- tion that is making zood.

The Lithuanian situation, accentuated by the occupation of Vilna, for the moment is overshadowing the Polish-Soviet peace conference. The Lithuanians here have issued a. statement attacking the Pole§ and the wentenie, including the United States, holding them responsible for the sending of supplies to Poland. There is great interest here among en- tente observers as to whether the Poles are supporting General Zellgouski , and are sending supplies to Vilna - for® the troops under him which are occupying the ancient Lithuanian capital. The belief seems to be growing” that the occupation of Vilna is another coup like that of Colonel Avaloff-Bermondt of last year owing to its similarity to the Avaloff-Bermondt _campaign ' against R B2, which Yeached the banks of the Dvina at the city's gates. Monday's Polish communication on the siutation say “It is now clear that the action of General Zellgouski's %troops wns pro- voked by information from Vilnas about Tepressions and massacres against especially families of officers and soldiers of the Lithuanian and White Russian divisions.” —_—_— s PASQUALE ACCIDENTALLY text of the senator’s statement to- | tions. er he had kept no‘books and that two| oy £ > n::ru\'me league issue follows “7—You say that Senator Harding |or three years ago, when his sizht be- MOTHERED BLAKELY COUGHLIN “It seems 1o me that there should not | Dromises that as président he Will en-|€an to fall he had cleared out sueh| o .. ok remain & shadow of & doubt as to my | dorse the covenant without Articlo X.

WOMEN ARE RETURNING To BEFINED” EMPLOYMENT New York, Oct. 11.—Young women who took up factory Work during the war, lured by patriotic appeals and high wag. es, have returned to their homes or to more “refined” employment and left a shortage of untrained female labor in New York, according to a report of the Industrfal Bureau of the Merchants As. sociation made public today. The re. port noted, however, that o slight sur- plus of unskilled male, labors' the over- supply of male labor is explained in the| report by “thé sudden decline in war in. dustries and_the gradual slackening in other, trades” particularly in the build- ing_industry.
