The breaking off of the peace negotia- tions be'ween the soviet government of Russia and the Poles must bé action which the Poles have fully anticipated. It is what was expected as the result of the Wrangel debacle. Whether Poland will consider tiiat it’has been a party to this outcome remains to be seen, but it cannot fail to be realized that the bol- sheviki were given encouragement for this course from the time when Poland agreed to enter the peace parley. While it is realized that Poiand was the first to ask for an armistice it is to be remembered that subsequently to that Toland warded off what it believed was inevitable, the loss of Warsaw, and sent the red forces in disorder out of Polish!| territory It was When the bolsheviki the Tun that peace negotiations ¥ real start, 4hd after Poland had I the terms of the Minsk confer- ence. But by the understanding reached and from the progress made at Riga, fighting between the Poles and bolshe- viki ceased. Poland refrained from push- n gfarther into Russia and the soviet government was thereby able to concen- trate its armed forces upon the southern The result of that was the quick overpowering of the army of General Wrangel and the ending of all trouble from that direction. With the Poles under a truce and Gen- eral Wrangel eliminated the bolsheviki were without any important military op- ponents. It was nqt too much for them er the eircumstances to endeavor to escape from the humiliating position in h the Poles had placed them by re- o carry on the peace negotiations. oty doesn’t depend upon it and they expect to escape what peace would mean.

Farly indications of what the federal vater power dct is going to do for the itilization of the great amount of water- power in the country that has been run- ng to waste every day are given by the statement to the cffect that there have been filed in Washington applications for permits, which if granted, will mean the elopment of twelve million horsepow- and the employment of one and a fifth llion dollars for power purposes. The applications are not all from one t n or of course from onea corpora- They come from 27 wtates, one ter- y and the Dietitct of Columbta, but v indicats that there has been pro- ided the inducement for water power de- velopmeht that should mean much to the country. The largest single project in- s the damming of the Colorado river ‘frbm which it is expected to obtain three million horse power and if all are permitted and carried out it will mean in increase of 40 per cent. in the water- power development throughout the coun- But with 50,000,000 horsepower .avail- able and undevelopment, it is evident that there is plenty of opportunity for still greater undertakings. Yet every/ad- vance such as planned, whi¢h by the way 1 be sufficient to supply 20 such cities as Chicago, will serve to meet the de- mands throughout the country for cheap- er power and light, will tend to encour- age industrial growth and render a ser- Vice that has too long been neglected. It likewise comes at a time when the country is looking to the securing of & substitute for coal. Through electricity, developed at hydro-electric plants, this problem can to a large degres be solved. It should cut down not only the demand for coal but remove a considerable trans- portation burden.. Such power ean be transmitted over long distances and there are so many ways in which it ean be employed that there is no danger of overproduction. By the federal legisla- lon there has been opened the way for getting at vast sources of cheap power. NO TIME TO BTOP. That the Lockwood committeee, named by .the legislature of the state of New York, has rendered a valuable service In bringing to light the wretched con- ditions that were existing in the building trades of that city cannot be otherwise than admitied. There have been made pless of guilty and several indictments as the result of their findings. Graft through the control of building opera- tions has been bared and one of the rea- #ons for the high cost of buildings dis- closed. Likewise it has been shown what control those detrimental influences have kad upon the eity administration. This committee was named for the purpose of leoking in‘o the housing con- ditjons. It uncovered so much that needed attention that it got out of the expected covrse early in its inquiries, but that has only shown how great was the need of just such a probe and how great is the reason for applying the remedy m the future. One of the unfortunate things in eon- nection with the committee is that its du- ties end with the life of the present leg- islature. With the first of Jaguary its aathority eeases. It is perfectly appar- ent that they have only begun-to get un- der the surface and with a score more trade combinations waiting to be probed Ahara is ns chamce of completing the | Evaninmdumutmfimn!m gunman, New York has another murder mystery’awaiting solution. Monk East- man has gained a widespread reputation because of his career of crime. If reports are true he came of a good family but his_desire for adventure cauded nim to go the limit, but in spite of his war rec- ord, restoration of his citizenship be- cause thereot and an apparent reforma- tion he ‘met the end which those in that business must anticipate. Following his murder it appears that hé police had been aware of the fact at he was backsliding, that he was bired by old time haunts and liquor of s. Just what part he was playing th the gangsters of today, or with those involved in illicit drug or liguer traffic has not been disclosed but there appears to be little question but what it was the return to old attractions that brought about his end. The assumption that his murder-was the penalty for giv- Ing information about others may be the correct one but as yet the evidence to support it has not been disclosed. The knowledge that such is the punishment handed out to those who play false fur- nsihes the basis for this belief, however. It is his excellent war record that caused Eastman to receive so much at- tention. It is not impossible that ‘he has during his career been credited With. much more than he deserved. He was a character about which it was possible to build some most interesting stories, and it is not so surprising that he got so much credit for his war service, where it was possibie to see the actual conduct of the man and note the contrast to his reputation. It was apparently an oppor- tunity for him to display his courage and show his leadership even under army dis- cipline. But he was unable to measure up to it under old conditions. Bad com; pany and the lure of evil ways seem to have drawn him back inle the path of least resistance, and if the view of the police is correct. His end faust therefore be regarded as the price of a bad de- 2 ‘El"”& m\,,‘fi e At 1 i anyhow. “My dear,” returned um easy going !just as vgn“hlv-h’gpmt mnm head equably as he tdetered backward I ping pictures for my scrapbook as and forward on his heels and toes with |ing Marie what-to do.” ’ hig hands thrust deep into his back trou- “That's the line of patter, sers pocket, “if you worked hard all day |{always brings ’em .to their hg: you'd find Quite a drill to stop in a|plauded the young: mnn son pushing the ?uu not venture to travel. fish shop at night 4nd fetch fresh fish in | dog out into the dark znd straightening, ' When the United Sfates mint was es- clear from the gxgy ‘When the markets|up as the vhmnx cousin eniered th-]ubmul in 1792 the first produotion was' here—" room from the music room.

It was folly for D'Annunzio to think, if he really did so, that he could resist the action of the government forces. He was beaten iefore any embargo or encircling movement was started, and the outcome is bound to be against him. D'Annunzio’s action has been the cause of no slight embarrassment to Italy. He took possession of the city at a time when it was a question whether it would become Italian, when the Jugeslavs were insisting upon\ having it and When the Italian desire fog its possession was run- ning strong. The-Italian government didn’t sanction the move and neither did it interrupt it. The longer he remained unmolested in possession of the city the stronger grew his conviction that he could not or would not be dislodged. This led him to reach out and take control of additional territory, and the time came When there was enough’additional sym- pathy being manifested among the Ital- ians as to cause many in the army and navy to go over to him with their equip- ment. The Jugoslavs had been made to re- alize that there was no chance of Fiume being returned to them. Either as the regency which D'Annunzio established or under Italian rule it was lost to them and they relinquished clajm thereto, and recahed an understanding' with the Ital- ian _government. But even that did not satisty D’Annunzio. Rather did it arouse him to bolder action for it resulted in war being déclared upon Italy, or action which was bound to bring the end of his The unfortunate part of it all 1s that the inevitable had to be .accom- panied by so much bloodshed and de- struction.
