MASS MEETING TOMORROW
If Weather Prevents Holding Open Air Gathering of F. I. F., Palace
 Theatcr Will Be Utilized

Arrangements have been made by the committee in charge of the mass meeting to be held at St. Mary's play grounds tomorrow afternoon in the interests of Irish Freedom whereby the meeting will be held in the Palace theater in the event of the weather or other cause making it impossible to hold the affair in the open air Because of the large crowds expected from cities throughout the state, it was thought best to hold the meeting in the playgrounds instead of over- crowding any local auditorium.
 Prof T. P. Lonergan, the Fordham college lecturer, who is to be the speaker of the day, will arrive in the city in the morning. A number of local and visiting clergymen, as we'll as prominent workers in the interests of Irish freedom, will have seats on the speakers platform. Rev John J.

CRISIS EXPECTED IN
 kOLCHAK GOVERNMENT
Washington Advised That Russian Admiral Cannot
 Organize Administration.

Washington, Aug. 23.-Ambassado or Morris who was sent by the state de- partment from Tokio to Omsk to re- port on conditions in Siberia has ad- NiSed the government here that the next 30 days probably will see a crisis in the affairs of the KOlChak govern ment. He reported that Admiral kol- chak has had to devote so much atten- ton to the military campaign against the Bolsheyiki that he has been unable to organize sufficiently the civil gov ernment and administration in Siberia to keep the people contented. Never thcless, he added, kolchak is the best man for the task confronting him and that it is question of his successor or tho triumph of the BolsheViki.
 Lack of material aid from the Allies has been great handicap for Kol- chak the report states and this has led to friction between the military commanders of the Kolchak forces.
 Military authorities in Paris and here, however, agree the BOlsheviki are making their last desperate effort against the Kolchak troops and if they fail this time the Soviet governmen in Russia will collapse.
 Recognition of the Kolchak gov ernment if it succeeds in surviving the next 30 days has been urged by Am bassador Morris, it is said.
 To make this recognition effective it is understood the ambassador has urged that this government be ready to assist in the negotiation of loans for the Siberian government and to dis patch additional arms and ammuni- ton and later food and clothing.

BITTEN BY MAD DOG
Arch Street Girl Sustains Serious In- juries to Face, Neck and Arms Near Her Home This Morning.

A four year old girl, named Alice Gibney, was bitten by a dog, believed to be mad on Arch street this morn ing and it is possible that the Pasteur treatment may be found necessary to prevent fatal results. The dog, froth- ing at the mouth, was brought to the police station and is being kept under observation. If develOpm entS war rant it, the animals head will be cut off and sent for inspection to deter mine the prescrce of rabies.
 The police were notified by phone about 11:5O o'clock that a girl had been bitten and were asked to come and take the Cog away. Dog Warden Wright found the animal sitting on the veranda of its victims home and bagged the canine. The owner has not been found but as the collar li- cense is one issued in Meriden, it is probable that the dog strayed from that city.
 The young girl has bad bites about the neck, face and back.
