ECONOMIC

WORK WAS

TERRUPTED Says Russia Is Prepared to Make Concessions To Poland. (CanyrlftM. 1820, by the 1. N. S) (Last Chapter.) MOSCOW (Wireless to Berlin). Sepr. 30. Delayed. Leon Trotsky, the nvnIster of war in the soviet government, is immensely prpud of the red army. But he expressed keen disappointment today because the soviet had to Interrupt its industrial and economic program to build up a fighting mach'no. SOIGHT OSLT PEACE. In an exclusive interview with tho International News Service Trotsky declared that Russia sought only peaci with Poland. He sal dthat Russia was determined to have peace Ifrshe had to fight for it. Trotsky's statements on the Russo-Pollsh situation were extremely timely in view of the negotiations which are now in progress at Riga. The war minister said: AT PEACEFUL PCRSl'ITS. "In the struggle with Poland our only aim has been peace. On the ev! of the Polish war we were giving; our undivided attention to peaceful work and the problems of peaceful pursuits. I myself was in the Ural district where I was presidentjof the first 'labor army.' Never in all my service in behalf of soviet Russia have I experienced so much satisfaction as In this economic work. , PEACE AT ANY COST. "The Polish war diverted our efforts and our attention from this constructive work. Our aim was peace at any cost. "We offered the greatest concessions to the Polish government. We took tho offensive in the field to compel the Poles to give us peace. Our offensive did not bring- us complete success. Now the all Russian central executive committee Is again offering uncommonly generous terms I do not ay extravagant concessions to attain peace which would enable us to return to our reconstruction and our economic problems. THEY WERE DEMONSTRATIVE "Our terms were not only generous, but very demonstrative. We wanted to win Industrial peace that would be of educational value. We must and will prove to the world. Including; the Polish people, that peace is our real aim. even if we have to pay a high price for it. Our terms were an expression cf the sef-confldence of the Russian workers and peasants who wanj peace snd are ready to make concessions to get it. NO PEACE MORE WAR, "If their peace proposals are again rejected they are fully able to 'grain peace by victory on the field.' They re conscious of the unassai'able riffhreousness of their cause." Only two y'ra ago Trotsky was asking American and French officers elementary Questions on military matter. Since that time he has built up on tho ruins of the czarist army and amidst the shattered Industries and railways ot his country a red force of 2.000,000 or more, well armed, equipped fed and drilled. OFFICE IS I'SGl'AHDED. There is no guard maintained about Trotsky's office. A single sentry stood before the door when an interviewer sought admission. At tho appointed hour to the very minute Trotsky was at his desk at his hea-ir quarters ready to receive the correspondent. It was an immense room, plain and severe in aspect. There were no pictures, but one wall was covered with a huge map of Russia. A cabinet stood in one corner containing; reports of various kinds which are received daily from every army unit. TROTSKY A POWER. There was an elaborate telephone system. At the great switchboard were long distance lines .-tretchlng to headquarters in the field. There was absolute silence in the r oom when the correspondent entered except for the ticking of a greatgrandfather's clock. Trotsky sat at his desk. The desk was big and square and clean. The man looked like one who possesci quiet power. He appeared considerably aged and was slightly gray. His uniform was plain with no insignia. When he spoke It was in excellent French.

MEET HE

Senator G. H. Moses of New Hampshire Speaks In McCormick's Place Kain and the republican naiion.il committee disarranged the plans for the meeting which wa? held by republicans of Hammond last nlht at Unity hall. Both of the original speakers were withdrawn at the last minute owing to conflicts in the routings of several speaker's tours. Instead of Senator Medill JlcCormack of Illinois, the crowd was permitted to hear Senator George HMoses of New Hampshire, but the audience was In nowie disappointed. Senator Moses spoke straight from the shoulder and made a decided hit. The rain of Thursday kept up duriuej the evening and It was feared nobody would turn out. However, about a hundred were present when the speaking started and many more drifted in later. Senator Moses carries with him the official copy of the peace treaty and covenant of the league of nations which he used as a member of the foreign relations committee. It itr a bulky looking affair, the covenant of course being only a small part of the volume. As between the treaty and the league covenant, he favors the latter, but he is against both of them. Moses is a close friend of Premier Lloyd-George and knows Clemenceau of France and Orlandi of Italy quite well. He believes he knows as well as anyone what President Wilson was up against when he sat in the peace conference. His presence at the peace conference, he said, forced England, France and Italy to send their chiefs of state whereas the matter would otherwise have been entrusted to their ministers of foreign affairs. The three premiers, he believes, are not experts on foreign relations, but have their training more on Internal affairs and hence each man was grabbing everything he could for his own country. Speaking, of the manner in which American representatives have been excluded from some commissions by the treaty and placed in almost complete responsibility in other matters, the senator said: "They have tied us up to everything which they didn't know how to handle and they have kept us out of everything which they wanted to bo handled in their own way." In brief, he says, wherever it is thought the responsible p&rtj or umpire is liable to be made the yoa', the Job has been saddled upon America. Moses considers himself somewhat of an authority on leagues? of nations. Ho was In the diplomatic service for a number of years. He drafted the covenant of the Balkan league, which worked all right until it interfered with some of the powers in getting what they wanted and then it went to smash. He showed that the greatest alliances yet have not been held together by any specific document, but have been formed by the exchange of diplomatic notes. He believes America does not need a "book" to go by in discharging its moral obligations. fWhen America goes to war, if it ever does' again. Senator Moses believes It should not be through the dictation of eight men sitting behind closed doors at Geneva, but through the action of the congress of the United States alone. . Mrs. Winfleld K. Smith from the state of Washington delivered a short address preceeding Senator Moses. She called upon the women to take an active part in politics and pointed out a number of wars in which they should make their power felt. She alsw -on-slders the league of nations a failure and believes the United States should b allowed to handle her own affairs untrammeled and not be bound up with petty bickerings of European nations. She believes all prospective school teachers should undergo an examination touching upon their patriotism and ability to instil the principles of Americanism In their pupil?. Congressman Will R. Wood dropped in on the meeting and made a slashing talk on some needed reforms in government expenditures, tariff laws, economic measures. "I don't want to take up your time now," said Mr. Wood. "I can come most any time and when I do I'm going to try and tell of a lot more things which are on my mind." NEW SCANDAL FOR BASEBALL r INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE CINCINNATI. O.. Oct. 1 The report that $20,000 was paid a former New York Giant player by a Chicago gambler to have the Giants to throw two games to the Reds In September of last year will be thoroughly investigated next week by the new Hamilton county grand jury. Prosecutor Louis A. Capelle said this morning. "Indefinite rumors concerning this have come to me," said Capelle, "but the story does not in any way involve the Cincinnati team. However, we will rigidly Investigate tho entire matter." HEAVY AUTO CUT REPORTED (INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE NEW YORK, Oct. 1 One of the heavif st" cuts in automobile prices yet made was announced today when the price of Standard Locomobile Cars was reduced J 1,350. and the price of Standard Mercer Cars was reduced $1,000.

Republican Candidate Speaks To Women of Nation at Marion Today.

bv GKonci: n iioi.mks I INTERNATIONAL Ne'wS SERVICE 1 MARION, O.. Oct. 1. Speaking today to several thousand women who cain: largely from the middle west. Senator Warren G. Harding prop.ised the establishment at Washington of a feder.i' department of public welfare to pr mote better social conditions and to guard the nation's motherhood ana childhood against exploitation anl abuse. Many Itidiana women v. ct present. some from Hammond and Gary. SPEAKS ON PHOHIHITIOV Senator Harding also addressed to his feminine visitors the first utterance on prohibition he has made since iiis speech of acceptance. He condemned the failure of the democratic administration t enforce the dry law, and he reaffirmed his position of standar squarely on the enorcement of law by the executive, regardless of whether the law meets with his personal approval. SOCIAL Jt STICK DAY. It was "social justice" day a'jout tit" Harding front porch today and the senator delivered a length speech dealing with a variety of topics in which women are particularly interested. Many well known women were in the senator's audienct. Among them were Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Lungwort!:, daughter of the late Col. Roosevelt and Mrs. Douglas Robinson, his sister; Mru. Mary Roberts Itinehart; Mrs. Harriet Taylor Vpton. of Ohio; Mrs. John Glov ersouth of Kentucky and Mrs. Richard Edwards, of Indiana, SPEAKS FOR SKW IDEA. "When making the proposal for a department of public welfare I am sure that I have made a step in advance or any platform," said Senator Harding. "There cm be no more efficient way of advancing a humanitarian program than by adapting the machinery of our federal government to the purposes desire to attain. THE PIDI.IC WEI.KARK. Our primary consideration must re. the machinery of administration a.Tl when the time comes for th; reorganization of our administrative go- ' ernment In Washington, we must ail stand together for the creation of a department of public welfare. Senator Harding said he recognized that "he mighj be called an extremist' in this sug-estion. He warned aga!i-t making fucfj a dcuprtmcnt as he suggested a; paternal bureau of social regulation. Such a thing, he believe, was repugnant to the American people. "EDUCATE LOCAL ACTION." "I believe," he continued, "that ne of the principal functions of the department of public welfare will be t enlighten and educate local action, a" that we may have throughout :nf states, an Increasing sense of obligation to meet a national standard ot social justice." Regarding: law enforcement, Senator Harding said: The enforcement of law is an executive responsibility and must be undertaken by the executive without regard for his personal approval or disapproval of the law. which it has b;en the people's will to enact. nESPF.IT FOR LAW. "Wo must have throughout the lai 1 a respect for law-abiding- prlncip!-s. We must all condemn without qualifications the failure of enforcement -r prohibition, just as we condemn the allure to prevent outrages of viole:i-.e such as lynching." Senator Harding closed his messiie to the women by calling attention to what he considered some o the dangers of the lea sue of nations. rnOTECTINCi WOMANHOOD. "I know." he concluded, "that '-h mothers and wives of America do n t wish to give their sons and husbauola for sacrifice at the call of an extra constitutional body like that of the council of the Paris league. "The proection of American monkhood cannot be accomplished until tlu state and the nation have enacted and enforced customs which protect womanhood itself. I know there are women who insist that women shall bo treated on the same basis as men. They have a right to take this posf.IJn in their own behalf. NOT FOR HERSELF ALONE. "But all true Americans must insist that n'" woman speaks for herself alone. She is the possessor of our future and we must preserve to her iti right to whoelsome maternity. "In the administration of federal n il state laws and In the educational service we shall need services of the ncapable women we can get upon boards of employment, labor adjustment and wherever the welfare of maternity U concerned."
