Slim Feiners Seek
ParleyW ithPren,ier
Definite Offer for Meet
ing Rejected Until De-
tails Are Made Clearer

LONDON. Aug. IA definite offer
to arrange a meeting between the Sim
Fem and Premier Lloyd George was
made to the Premier within the last
week, The Associated Press learned to-
day from Alexander Carlisle, director
Of the National Bank Of London, and
prominent Belfast Irishman, now a
resident of London.
Mr.. Carlisle declared that after a
visit to his office the last week of July
of representative of the Sim Fem, he
(Mr. Carlisle) communicated with the
Premier, informing him of the Sim
Fein's willingness to confer with the
British government for the purpose Of
effccting an immediate settlement Of
the Irish question.
The Premier, according to Mr. Car
Isle, through one of his assistants
replied that until the invitation came
direct from the Sim Fem and the
details were made clearer there could
not be a meeting.
Mr.. Carlisle, who is a former di-
rector of the shipbuiding firm of Har-
land and Wolff, is not a Sim Feiner,
but for many years has been active
in trying to bring about a compromise
between the demands of radical Irish
men and the government of Great
Britain.

Reds Halt Looting
With Death Threat
Bolsheuiki Free Polish
Prisoners after Disarnl-
ing Them, Is Report

JOHANNISBERG, East Prussia, Aug.
q BY The Associated Press) (delayed)
The right wing Of the Russian army,
which swept by near the frontier here
yesterday. presumably to reinforce the
night center line, to-day had disap-
pcared to the south and the only in
formation of its movements came from
confused reports of Polish and Rus
sian refugees, who agreed its advance
was not hindered.
Increased vigilance is being shown
by the security police along the Dor
der, notwithstanding information that
the Russians do not intend to violate
German neutrality. No person IS
allowed to cross the frontier without
permission of the Inter-Allied Com
mission.
Poles Accused of Plnudering
Reports from German agents in
Poland say Polish soldiers have been
plundering the towns they evacuate,
put that the Russians, under penalty
or death, are taking steps to stop loot
ing. The death penalty is said to at
tach to violation of any Bolshevik
order.
German newspaper men who have
been at Lomza with the Russians de-
e-ate tHil lne heUS nave forbidden the
use of alcohol. They assert that the
Bolsheviki are taking no prisoners, but
are disarming and freeing the Poles
falling into their hands. No such SOL
diers, however, have been reported
among the refugeoc here
Advlces received to-day say the So
Wet armies are advancing in full
strength, with the cavalry leading.
Little Sympathy for Poles
Scant sympathy is given Polish ref
ugees who have fed across the German
frontier before the advancing Bolshe-
Wiki. They are greeted with more or
less contempt by the inhabitants of
East Prussia as they plod along the
roads to the interior, apparently fear
ing the Bolsheviki are close behind
them.
Most Of the refugees are poor women
and ragged children, and while the cor
respondent was watching a party of
them to- day q German said to the cor
respondent:
'You know, they are Poles. We do
not want them; nobody wants them"
On the other hand, Russians reach
Ing here apparently need no sympathy,
they being usually we'll dressed and
educated. Most of them are sympa-
thizors of the imperial regime, who
have managed to escape. Alleged afro
cities by the Bolsheviki are charged
BY agitated crowds in the hotels here.

Launch Campaign for Big
Demonstrations All Over

Poles and Americans of Polish an
cestry laid plans yesterday for mass
meetings and demonstrations in sew
cnty-fve or one hundred American
cities next Sunday in behalf of an APP
peal to the United States to go to the
aid of Poland in it's struggle against
invasion by the Russian Soviet armies.
The meetings will name delegations to
call on President Wilson and the Re-
publican and Democratic nominees to
make the appeals.
About one hundred persons were
present at the McAlpin Hotel, where
the campaign was launched. They in

to-day. The meeting was called at the
instance Of the Society of Polish Mer-
chants and Engineers.
At the same time a meeting was
beng held in Chicago of men from
Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois, Missouri and Minnesota.
The mass meetings next Sunday
will be preceded by services in all
churches having Polish congregations.
Prayers will be read for the salvation
Addresses will be delivered Mt the
meetings later by leading Poles in
Polish and English
During the week committees will
make use of every possible publicity
medium to call attention to the critical
situation in Poland and the necessity
for immediate intervention and as
sistancc
The preparatory meeting was pre-
sided over by Steven Decsesznak, who
said:
at is but right and just that we
Americans appeal to our fellow citi-
zens to aid Poland, not only because
Poland owes its very life to the ideals
Of this country, but because Poland
in the moment of her restoration is
stricken by a foe which threatens the
stability of the whole world.
The reciprocal commercial relations
which had been inaugrated with this
country are halted. Hundreds of mill
ions of dollars which investment in
forests in this country and throughout
the rest of the world were prepared
to spend in Poland are necessarily
being held until the fate of the coun-
try is determined. ="

Jewish Problems Discussed

LONDON. Aug.7 (Jewish Telegraphic
Agency).-Nearly ninety delegates, rep
resentng the Jews of twenty-eight
countries, are gathered in Karlsbad to
discuss the problem affecting relief
and reconstruction Of East European
Jewry. The first session, Karlsbad dis
patches announce, opened yesterday,
and the numerous messages of greeting
received included one from President
Masaryk Of Czecho- Slovakia, and one
from the American Jewish Congress.
The conference committee includes
Morris Rothenberg and Abe Epstein,
both of New York
Engineer Temkin, one of the most
noted of Russian Jewish leaders, said
the committee of which he was head
was in possession of evidence that 568
ptogroms had taken place in the
Ukraine, with $4,000 killed. These
figures were exclusive of sixty-nine
pogroms carried out by General Deni-
kine's forces. Many hundreds of thou
sands, he added, were literally starving
and more than 10000 orphans were
practically homeless and shelterless.

mentioned in the statement likewise
have previously been reported The
statement reads:
NV est of Lomza we occupied Mys-

"Our cavalry defeated the enemy in

Reds Meet Stern Resistance
The Bolshevik armies northeast and
east OF Warsaw seem to have en-
countered stern resistance.
Northwest of Brest- Litovsk along
the Bug River, the Poles have
launched vigorous counter-attacks
and have. succeeded in driving back
across the river Bolshevik detach-

Mannix Kept
Off Shore bv
Ships Delay
CONTINUED from page one)

unoffcnding passengers on the Baltic
are innocently inconvenience, for if
the present plans of the immigration
officials are carried out, they will not
be allowed to see the arrivals until
the latter leave the pier, and those in
tending to proceed to London shall
have left the boat for thei rtrain.
LONDON, Aug. 7.--Whether Arch
bishop Daniel J. Mannix, of Melbourne
Australia, will be permitted to disem-
bark at Liverpool, whether the steam
ship Baltic will be diverted to another
port, or whether the Archbishop will
be taken off the ship at sea for an I'M
named port, are questions being warm
ly discussed among Irishmen through
out the country tonight.
Some newspapers assert that the gov
eminent has decided the prelate will
mot be permitted to 60 ashore at Liver
pool because Of the great demonstra-
ton prepared for his reception there
and the attendant possibilities of riot
ing. Officials refused to deny or affirm
the rumors.
Governments Right Questioned
Liverpool has large Irish popula-
ton, and it is recalled that racial
clashes similar to those which occurred
recently at Belfast have taken place
in there With large procession
planned and feeling over the Irish ques-
ton running high, it is thought that
trouble would be almost certain to fol-
low the arrival of the Archbishop. This
would be particularly true if he should
arrive on Sunday, when the people have
no work to keep them off the streets.
The question of the governments
right to prevent Arch bishop Mannix
from remaining abroad until the Bal
tic reaches Liverpool, or to remove
him forcibly from the ship, has been
widely debated. The verdict, however,
is that since the defense of the realm
act giving the widest power to the gov
eminent in wartime remains in force,
there is no legal obstacle to such ac-
ton.
The Mayor of Dublin, accompanied
by large delegation from that city
arrived in Liverpool tonight for the
purpose of comforting upon Archbishop
Mannix the freedom OF the City of
Dublin. The Queenstown Cathedral
spire and other church steeples along
the Irish coast are illuminated in honor
