POLEStO SUBMIT ANSWER
Reply to Soviet Peace Terms Hai
Been Received
Itla, Oct. 2. (By A. P.) Polish
delegates to, tho peace conference here
wero prepared todny to submit tho
Polish answer to pence terms of the
Russian Soviet Government. It was
understood this answer had been re
eclved from Prince Saplcha, Polish for
eign minister.
Adolph Joffc. chief of tho Soviet
delegation, and M. Dombskl, head of the
Polish mtoslon, conferred for two hours
at Illnck Head House last night. '
Moscow, Oct. 2. (Dy A. P.) There
Is a general feeling of pessimism here
regarding the outcome of the peace
negotiations nt Klgn between the Poles
and the Bolsheviki. The workers, how
ever, seemingly nre standing solidly be
hind the Soviet Government despite the
universal desire for peace.
With, winter approaching, the situa
tion of the prisoners of wnr awaiting re
patriation is becoming more difficult. Of
ficials say tho government Is doing
everything possible to facilitate their
evacuation, establishing evacuation cen
ters In Moscow, Petrograd, Samara and
Ekaterinoslav and co-operating with
the German, Austrian and Czccho-Slo-vak
missions, but provisions, clothing
'and medicine and means of transporta
tion arc needed.

Three men who "never grew up," or

. By tho Associated Press
Joplln, Mo., Oct. 2. In speeches at
Miami, Okln., nnd nt Joplln today,
Governor Cox discussed the humani

prevents them from "exploitation of

factories."
Tho governor said :
"Under Article XXLII the members
of the league ngrce to maintain fair
nnd just conditions of labor for men,
women nnd children; to co-operate In
prevention of communicable, contagious
and vocational diseases; to prohibit ex
ploitation of women and children, and
to control tho traffic In opium and other
dangerous drugs.
"As you will find the munitions profi
teer is opposed to the league because it
provides tor disarmament, making fu
ture, wars impossible, so ho cannot coin
dollars out of blood, so you will find
the profiteer of peace opposed to the
prevents him from exploitation of Im
munity in sweatshops and Insanitary
factories. He will not admit this as
his reason, but probably will join in
general clamor against Article X."
, Governor Cox asserted It must bo
a great satisfaction to the women of
America to know they were recognized
on equality with men In holding league
positions "months before they were
granted the right of suffrage In our own
country."
