WASHINGTON SEES
 WAR ON BIG SCALE
Government Officials Believe Reds Can Hold Out for Lengthy Period

Washington, July 23.-without of- fetal information regarding the de- cision of the sil,ed powers to furnish military aid to Poland in her struggle with tho tjonsheviki. Eover' .ment of- ficials uhofficially professed to sec in tho new situation most of the cie- mentsso of a European var on a broad scale.
 s Army officArs and officials of the state department were frankly pessi- nlistia as to the ability of France and Great Britain to place armies in Po- land in time to check the Russian ad- vance before Warsaw falls, and many of them were sceptical of the power of either France or Great Britain to their war weary populations into tho struggle without a serious ppbaIancing of domestic affairs.

 Polish representatives who con- ferred with officials of the state de- partment were .clated by the news that Great Britain and France had promised support. They expressed the opinion that the mere announce ment would go far toward strengthen ing the morale of their government and army, and that it might even be possible with sufficient ammuni- ton. artillery and other supplies to hold the Russians in check.
 Their optimism, however. was not shared by somc of the experts who have been watching the operations of the two forces. but 1t was admitted hope of an adjustment yet remained in the suggestion of an armistice. Without this army officers expressed tho opinion that Warsaw only can be saved from the Bolsheviki if adeauate military support Is available within the next few weeks.

WONDERFUL GIRL
 DESERTED, SUES
SAP JoltS Romance by Plying
 the Coop"

New York. July 23.-A romance of a salesman and self-styled failure. figured as the youthful husband of the yet more youthful Miriam Stern Brener, whom he addressed in a fare well letter as the sweetest and most l wonderful girl in the world" was brought to light yesterday in an an- nulment proceeding before Supreme Court Justice McGoldrick.
 Brener is 21. His wife had just passed IT at the time Of the cere- mCny. on November ?, 1919. Hnr husband was loving and attentive, she says. and the two were happy for just two months and. 25 days. Then, when Mrs. Rrener returned to their suite in the Hotel Pennsylvania one evening she found this letter:
 ITO the sweetest and most won- derful girl in the world:
 ''It IS with a broken heart that ] write these last few lines, and. for the last time. I want to tell you l love you more than anything else in the whole world.
 Now my life is empty. a total >brark. Everything I bad to live for is gone. Gone fcrcver Is true love the most sacred thing God ever blessed a mortal with. This I have lost. Now. sweetheart, I can still call you that, I'm goirg to change my name and am making arrangements to 20 to Mexico to drift with the tide of life, which may throw me on the shore of success or on the rocks of destruction.
 "If I am successful you shall hear from me. If not-well, nothing mat ters shali know that wherever 20 you will be with me in spirit. There is consolation in this.
 "I shall always keep your picture with me and I want you to keep mine. Some day you will see that I was not as bad as you think. Now try to forget me-not entirely-but only think of me occasionally, and you will find someone who will make YOU happy-3omethingI I cannot do.
 Well. there is no use of writing further as this docs not help things. So goodby, If not forever. and may God bless you and Taay you be happy and prosperous. YcUr husband.

ARIZONA LABOR EMERGENCY

The refusal of congress to per-
nit the importation of Mexican
labor by border state industries,
under temporary arrangement,
works serious handicap upon
the cotton growers in this State,
where even under the relief pro-
vided by this permission. the
supply was never certain or reg
ular. The arrangement involved
no indiscriminate accretion of
citizenship and no competition
with native labor. 1t was a tenn
porary measure to meet an emer-
gency and it is regretable that
the house immigration commit
tee could not view it as pres
sing economic problem rather
than an immigration question.
The cotton industry in Arizona
can not expand until there is a
reliable labor supply.
About the only means left of
improving the labor supply seems
to be to draw upon the supply in
the south or from negro labor in
other states. This would neces-
state a higher scale of pay but
discrimination would give a bet
ter and more reliable supply than
is obtainable now. Climatologi-
cally, there is no reason why this
class of labor should not be suited
to Arizona's needs. Nothing
should be allowed to hamper the
expansion of the cotton industry
in this State. There should be
an intensive survey of the labor
supply and the problem of OBJ
tanning it should be handled CO.
operatively by the farmers. -
