POLES FIGHT
DESPERATELY
And Slacken the Advance
of Bolsheviki Toward
Warsaw
STAUNCH FORTS
Barring THE WAY
Poles Give Up Terespol
and Are Driven Out
of Muramiec

| London, Aug. Russian bolshevik
armies hammering the Polish lines
northeast and east of Warsaw, seem
| to have encountered stern resistance
Except in the area around Brest Lito-
vsk, east of the Polish capital, no new
advances by soviet troops have been re-
| ported, and even there they have been
limited by the desperate fighting of the
Poles,
Polish forces have been forced TO re-
tire from Terespol, about four miles
west of Brest- -Litoysk, and have lost
Muramiee, about five miles TO the Bug
river in this region, but their further
progress probably will be slow as per-
manent forts erected years ago to de-
fend the city must be stormed if the
soviet legions are to gain ground there.
Northwest Of Brest .Litevsk, along
the Bug river, the Poles have launched
vigorous counter attacks and have sue
ceeded in driving back across the river
bolshevik detachments. which had sue
ceeded in reaching the left bank of the
stream. Further north along the battle
front toward the east Prussia frontier,
a great battle is being fought but no
details of the outcome have been given
in late dispatches. AT Myszyniec, about
five miles from the German boundary
the Poles are well intrenched and APP
pear to be holding their own in spite
OF savage assaults against their posi-
tions
In the southern sectors Of the front
serious fighting is going on, and the
Poles seem to be gaining ground at
some points.
Premiers Lloyd George and Miller.
and of Great Britain and France win
meet at Hythe tomorrow. /, is ex.
pected by that time that the soviet
government will have answered tele-
gram that NJ. kameneff, one of ehe
chiefs of the soviet delegation in this
city, sent to Moscow, following a long
conference with Premier Lloyd George
and other government officials yestcfS
day. II seems certain there will not be-
an immediate break in the negotia
tions between the allies and the soviet
government, and it i believed possible
the French and British premiers may
have before them propositions from
Moscow, which may assist them in
dealing with the serious situation con.
fronting Poland

rived here early to-day from Fort
Logan TO maintain order, just as lead.
ers of the Tramway mems union voted
to recommend calling off the street car
mems strike, which has been followed
by two days of violence resulting in
| the deaths of three men and wound.
ing of dozen persons last night.
The tramway men were to meet at 0
o'clock this morning To take a vote on
the recommendation of their executive
committee. Governor Shoup in state
ment at Colorado Springs said that
the action of the union leaders would
not halt the arrival of troops. Five
hundred more soldiers were under
orders at Camp Funston to leave early
to-day
In statement issued shortly after
the announcement OF the union lead
ers, Frederick w. Hid, general man
ager of the tramway company, an
nounced that the striking carmen
would be taken back but that there
would be no working agreement with
the union and the union would not be
recognized. The statement further
declares that preference in filling va
cancies would be given the strike
breakers employed by the company to
run cars.
The call for federal troops was
issued last night when mob attacked
the East Denver car barns and was
repelled with rifle fire. Three men
were killed and a dozen persons. in
cluding women, girls and boys, were
wounded, Several similar gatherings
had been broken up earlier IN the eve
ming by the police with the assistance
of thousand volunteers recruited
from American Legion members.
The leader of the strikebreakers at
the East Denver car barns declared
that the shooting there was caused by
attacks of the mob on an automobile
load of strikebreakers who were arriv-
ing at the ear barns. Stones and
bricks were hurled at the car and the
men in the car barns replied with rifle
fire Hundreds of persons in the neigh
borhood were attracted by the firing

Safe in D. A. Perry's Real
Estate Agency Stripped
of Money and Bonds
TWO CHECKS LEFT
BY THE ROBBER
The Act W Done Some
Time Tn ! day Night,
Aft g, O'clock

The sum g 80 in money and Lib
erty bonds yg stolen from the safe
in the off e the d. A. Perry Real
Estate az - in the Howland building
between 7 o'clock Thursday evening
and 8 o'clock Friday morning, it was
ascertained yesterday afternoon. OF
that property 5000 or more was in bills.
When Mrs. Elizabeth Lagore, book
keeper and cashier for the firm opened
the safe yesterday morning, as was
her custom, she noticed that the mon
ey was gone but she thought that
member of the firm had taken the
money out to deposit, since the de-
posit slip which had been placed with
the money was gone. There was no
disorder in the safe, so that robbery
was not suspected by the bookkeeper
until she had interviewed the members
of the firm, papers and deeds being
left in their customary places and the
safe door locked.
After the members of the firm had
been talked with, search of the safe
was made and it was found that in
addition to the money three $50 Lib
erty bonds had been taken. The thief
or thieves left two checks, amounting
to s32 even though one of the checks
for S25 was signed.
One other evidence of robbery was
then recalled by Mrs. Lagore, who re-
membered that when she reached the of
flee Friday morning the deos of the of
fee was unlocked. At this time this
did not arouse any suspicion in the
mind of Mrs. Lagore as she considered
the door might have been left un
locked by one of the Arm the evening
before. So far there are no clues to
the perpetrator Of the robbery.
c. w. Perry could not say for sure
that he had locked the safe Thurs
day night, and so far as known none
Others but those connected with the
Office know the combination The in
vestigators concluded that the safe was
left unlocked and entrance to the of
fee gained in comparatively easy
manner.
About four years ago this office sui
fered similar experience though the
amount of money missing was -mueh
lighter Young lads with master
KEY made the break at that time, but
it is the belief that this was not the
work of boys, but someone older.
The money consisted of five, ten and
twenty dollar bills for the most part.

ing the third largest in the state, Rut

Washington county in the 1910 cen
sus, with total of 33,6Sl. Whether
Windsor county has displaced Wash.

yet to be learned. 1t is likely, how
ever, that Windsor county has made
considerable gain owing to the pop
