Associated Press Report.
paris, Dec. 31.—President Poincare
today sent the foilowinK message to the
people of the United States: %
"i thank the Associated Press for giving
mo the occasion of sending once more
to tho United Status a token of my
admiration.
"France is very grateful to the Ameri-
can people for the great part they havo
taken in the struggle for right and free-
dom in the victories obtained by tho allied
armies.
"1 have several times visited the Amer-
ican troops. i htive s< i n them especially
when they iil ated St. Alihiel and when
they were fir''itiii;-; before Verdun. i have
observed th«ir splendid bearing, their
courage, their high spirits and their smil-
ing contempt <>f danger.
"i have s' on them also in tho towns or
villages where they had their canton-
ments. They were much' beloved there
by tho inhabitants. i recollect, for in-
stance, that In Nancy the people were
deeply touched by the solicitude the
American soldiers showed to the children.
"Thus, not only between our armies but
also between the American troops ana
French citizens have been formed most
intimate relations and ties which will
remain indissoluble even after the war.
"lioth our nations had already been
brought together by the remembrances
of your war for independence—by the
similitude of our political and public in-
stitutions, by our democratic traditions
and by natural sympathies and by affini-
ties of mind and culture.
"But now we know each other still
better. We have lived together; we have
defended together the same sacred cause;
we together have saved mankind; wc are
friends forever.
"Wo aro now to make use of this
friendship for settling in full accord with
England and Italy and the. other nations
which fought at our side a just and last-
ing peace which shall repair injury and
spoilation and prevent any offensive re-
turn on the part of the powers of con-
quest and domination.
"i am convinced the unity of feeling
will be complete and continuous between
tiie United States and France during the
conference which shortly will be held here
in order to establish the conditions of
peace."

under orders. But they must not only
take arms, ammunition and clothing for
themselves, but for the brave, ragged
Polish army. Even the women and chil-
dren are massed on the frontier against
the well equipped bolsheviks and their
German well wishers.
Two million Russian prisoners have been
sent home across Poland, pillaging as thoy
went German prisoners from Russia
have been worse. Eight hundred thou-
sand Polish workmen, driven into Ger-
many during the war, have been home,
and they are paupers for the most part.
The wonderful national spirit of Poland
is in danger of being swamped by their
atrocious sufferings and endless misfor-
tive and profitable means of control,"
Miss Julia Lathrop declared Wednesday
in her annual report as chief of the chil-
dren's bureau. -
In co-operation with State officials the
bureau is preparing a plan of uniform
reporting of work certificates issued to
children. More than 6,500,000 children
have been weighed and graded in the
bureau's children year campaign to save
at least 100,000 babies who die from pre-
ventable diseases. Public health nurses
and adequate care for mothers and in-
fants were urged by the bureau.
Juvenile delinquency was increased In
many cities by war conditions. Especially
notable was the growth in the number of
cases of carrying concealed weapons. An
increase in immorality among young girls
in Chicago was attributed to their "adora-
tion for-soldiers and sailors."

Germany has little coal of her own. Her
great mines are in Poland, just as her
great iron mines were in Lorraine. De-
prived of coal and iron, no country can
dominate. It is not a sentimental ques-
tion, but an economic one. It may inter-
est us to look forward to the restoration
of Poland because she occupies a romantic
place in history, but it interests iv much
more to save ourselves from the choice
between domination by bloodthirsty an-
archists and greedy and cruel Germans.
Poland is at peace with Germany, who
has an ambassador at Warsaw* There are
also some 12,000 Poles in the United
States who would volunteer to go to Po-
land at once if the government would
equip and send them over. i had a long
talk with General" Haller today. He is
both dramatic and poised; a lean, active,
wiry man, not tall, but so full of force and
magnetism that you undertsand at once
his immense, popularity. with the Polish
troops. Ilis narrow, dark face with Its
rather Tartar eyes, flashed with a sort of
intelligence that inspired me with imme-
diate confidence. It will be remembered
he commanded a division of the Austrian
army at the beginning of the war and
when Iiussia declared her intention of
giving a jxirtion of Poland its indepen-
dence, he went over to the other side with
his entire army. It took him two days to
get there and he passed most of the time
in shell holes, for It was not easy to make
Russia understand his intention.

that Henry Ford has formally resigned as
president of the Ford Motor company and
his son, Edsel Ford, elected to succeed
him at a saiary of $150,000 a year.
Mr. Ford in tendering his resignation
gave as "his reason his desire to devote
more time to the tractor industry. He
retains, however, his seat on the board
of directors of the company, in an ad-
visory capacity.
Edsel Bryant Ford, who becomes the
executive head of a corporation repre-
senting an investment of close to $200,-
000,000, is oniy 24 years of age. He en-
tered the shops of the Ford plant when
he was 16 years of age to gain a thor-
ough working knowledge of his father's
business. He has been acting as ex-
ecutive bead of the Ford Motor company
for the past few months, his father hav.
ing withdrawn from active participation
in the management to devote his time to
the tractor business and a new national
weekly newspaper.
i Concerning the wage increase, Henry
Ford said that it was "only a just reward
to the men who remained loyal to the
company during the war period."
AMERICANS VICTORS
ON SNOW COVERED
BATTLEFIELD
(Continued from Page One.)
th'o allies left their blockhouses and ad-
vanced uy> the river roads straight at the
enemy positions. Already flanking par-
ties, drawn by hand sleds loaded with
ammunition and rations had made their
way through the forest and were attack-
ing the rear. Every man was clothed ln
a heavy Arctic outfit and wore a white
canvas robe with a cowl that in the faint
light even of midday made him indis-
tinguishable at a few hundred yards.
At 4 o'clock in the morning these gal-
lant flanking parties had cut into the
woods on the great adventure. In snow
knee deep, with the temperature at zero,
they were starting for unknown ports
across uncharted woods on a desperate
chance. It was really romantic.
Stunned by the surprise attack from
the front the bolshevik! fell back from
their advanced positions. Immediately
their rear was endangered by the flank-
ing parties, so they were forced to with-
draw several miles. Here, In a log hut
village, they made a determined stand,
utilizing the strongly built native houses
with small windows and heavy doors as
blockhouses. Thero was heavy fight-
ing here, and. again and again the Ameri-
cans and their allies charged these im-
provised blockhouses. Steadily the bol-
sheviki were forced back, fighting des-
perately in each little village as they took
up retreating positions.
Finally, late this afternoon, when the
long twilight had settled down, they
stiffened their defense and 15 mileg from
the old positions they stopped the sweep-
ing advance of the allies. The bolsheviki
suffered considerable casualties and some
prisoners. Our losses were comparatively
small.
Seventy-five miles east, on the other
side of the railroad, American soldiers
with Canadian artillery fought today an-
other gallant battle. Some 10 weeks ago
the allies had been forced back by supe-
rior numbers from the little village of
Kodish and had taken up a position on
the Emtsa river two miles to the north.
Here in the forest thoy built tiny block-
houses, leantos and shelters and camped
in the ice and snow. To reach them
there was a two-day sled trip from the
railroad, and the only road from there
on to the next allied position eastward
was a tedious, dangerous roundabout
trail. •
In Kodish village there were warm log
houses, and running at right angles from
the town was a straight road leading
direct to this next allied outpost. To-
night this village with its comfortable
billets and valuable road is in the hands
of the Americans, while our forward posi-
tions are a mile and a half beyond.
Five hundred Wisconsin and Michigan
men, struggling gamely through the
heavy snow, carrying rifles, ammunition,
machine guns and extra rations, did the
job of flanking the bolsheviki and sur-
prising them, much the same as their
pals did the trick 75 miles to the west.
As a result our men will be able to cele-
brate New Year eve in warm, comfort-
able houses, instead of in open camps or
ln freezing shelters.

tional assembly. Tf they gain control of
the assembly, it will be taken to mean
that Germany is on the fair road to a
stable republican government.
There remains, of course, the possibility
that in the event of accession by the bol-
sheviki to control in Berlin and the dis-
order which is thought inevitable in such
a case, the allied command will find it
necessary to send forces to the German
capital, in fact, it is believed that it
would doubtless be requested from Ger-
many. But at present it looks unlikely as
the situation is seen here.

Associated Press Report.
washington, Jan. 1.—With an esti-
mated output of 587,500,000 tons, all rec-
ords for the production of bituminous
coal in the United States were broken
during 1918, said a statement issued Wed-
nesday by the National Coal association.
This total was approximately 36,000,000
tons in excess of the former record out-
put in 1917.
"The nation's war time demand for
coal, the heaviest in the country's his-
tory, lias been met In full," said the
statement. "The mining of this banner
tonnage during 1918 also virtually insuies
the country against a repetition of the
distressing shortage of bituminous coal
experienced last winter. With fair oper-
ating conditions and intelligent distribu-
tion of the product, it is likely that there
will be sufficient bituminous coal for the
nation during the winter."

Associated Press Report.
washington, Jan. 1.—Relief work
being carried on in Northern France by
the commission for relief in Belgium, and
the pitiable condition of the 1,500,000 in-
habitants of that section, who escaped
the German invasion, are described in a
cablegram received at the headquarters
of the commission here, from Herbert c.
Hoover, at Paris.
Mr. Hoover's message, made public on
Wednesday night, revealed that the work
of relief and rehabilitation in France will
fall more heavily on the commission than
had been expected. The destruction
wrought by the German army was so
complete, Mr. Hoover said, that the relief
work must include not only food and
clothing, but housing over a considerable
area.
An enlarged organization to handle the
situation is being built up and supplies
have been obtained from the quarter-
master's department of the American
army. a large amount of second-hand
barracks material has also been taken
over from the army and navy, and 150
volunteers from the American navy are
superintending the construction of bar-
racks near ruined villages for the inhabi-
tants.
Industrial life In the invaded region
has been almost completely paralyzed, Mr.
Hoover said. Railroads have been ren-
dered almost hopeless of reconstruction
for many months, the coal mines have
been destroyed and there is scarcely a
single factory that can be operated with-
out a very large portion of new equip-
ment.
"The destruction of some 20 principal
towns and literally hundreds of villages
renders the return of these refugees a
stupendous problem," the message said.
"Every effort is being made to restrain
them from going back until some sys-
tematic provision for shelter can be com-
pleted, but they evade all official urgings
and the roads are a continuous proces-
sion of these pitiable bodies. Thousands
of them reach their villages to find every
vestige of shelter destroyed and finally
wander into the villages further back
from the actual battle area, which are
themselves already overcrowded to a
heartbreaking degree."
