Its labors may be lightened by the present attitude of the Ger man Industrial and political leaders and the Polish labor representatives In Upper Silesia. They have held secret conference In Kattowltx and In the Interest of pledged their "common motherland." it was believed they would petition the league council to settle the Slleslan trouble promptly by giving Upper Silesia all to Poland or all to Germany. All the conferees were opposed to the further use of force. Germans and Polish Irregular troops had - a fight near the villages of Sternalltx and Rostetllts, and the Germans killed 24 Poles and drove the rest across the frontier. The Greeks resumed last week their offensive against the Turkish nationalists, and four strong columns advanced far toward the Kemallst seat ,of government at Angora while a fifth moved north toward Ismld, which the Turks were said to be evacuating. It was reported again that the nationalists also were giving up Angora. The Turks made a stand at the ancient city of Gordium, near the confluence of the Pursak and Jakarta rivers, which was used as a concentration camp by Alexander the Great when he invaded Persia. almost Incredible, but true nevertheless, that the Bolshevik rulers .of Russia were still haggling last week over the terms on which AmeriIs cans should be permitted to undertake the relief of the starving and millions of. the Yolga valley and southern Russia. Day after day Maxim Litvinoff, head of the soviet famine relief commission, fenced with Walter I Brown, chief of the European 'section 'of the American relief administration, . yielding slowly and reluctantly to Mr. Brown's demands, suspicious like hut fellow Bolsheviks that any foreigners admitted to Russia will take advantage of the oppor. tunlty to conspire to overthrow the sovflet regime, .At this writing Litvinoff haa given la on all points save one. lie still insists that the Bolsheviks shall have the right to limit the number ot relief workers and to xpel any of them. Meanwhile the RuMiana are dying like flies for lack of food, and medicines. . It Is Interesting to note that soviet Russia baa abandoned prohibition. A decree has been Issued permitting the manufacture and aale of beverages wntalning up. to 14 per cent of alcohol, which wMl be heavily taxed. Nationalisation of real estate also has been dropped and Individuals are now permitted to buy houses or land from the government . Having made pretty much of a. wreck of the country, Lenin and Trotsky are gradually receding from their Impossible position. pest-strick- .

There was little doubt that the measure would be passed almost as reported, but there waa a chance that It might be changed In one Important respect. Just before It was Introduced the Republican members of the house In caucus ordered that It be altered, to provide that repeal of the excess profits tax, substitution of an Increased corporation tax and reduction of the higher Individual surtaxes should become effective on Income of the calendar year 1922 Instead of 192L This was not In accord with the desires of the administration which believed the party was commit ted to a revision of the tax laws which would apply to 1921 Income, and It was thought the action of the caucus might be reversed. The Dem ocratic members of the house also caucused and voted to fight the tax bitl, declaring In a resolution that It is "subversive of the principle that should govern taxation for the sun- port of this government" and that It "relieves profiteers and taxpayers of Urge, incomes from their Just share of the load of taxation and leaves an unfair portion of the burden to be borne by the people of moderate mean-.- " Fifty-twDemocratic mem bers did not attend the party caucus in a majorltj report of a special Investigating committee filed wjthtb house of representatives last.. week Samuel T.

This reduction in the death rate has NOT been accomplished by adapting the precautions taken and remedies used by adults. Bather has it been to keep clear of the old methods, and choose after long research the precautions and remedies specifically applicable to infants.
