Washington, Aug. II (by the AS
sociated Press 1.-The American
and French governments are IL
agreement in principle as to the fu-
ture of Poland and Russia, Secre-
tary Colby declared today in 8
statement interpreting Frances re-
joinder to the American note tC
Italy. His statement accompanied
publication of the translation OF
the French note, which was deliv-
cred to the state department Au'
gust Ia by Prince De Bearn, the
French charge.
Frances declaration "of its op,
position to the ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF
Russia" is most gratifying" Mr.
Colby said. and added:
"The response is a notable dec
laration from every viewpoint and
brings to the position taken by the
United States a striking emphasis
and powerful support"
The secretary referred to French
recognition of General Wrangel II
south Russia as divergence be-
tween the two governments on one
point, but said the United States
was disposed to regard the de-
clared agreement of France with
the principles of the United States
as of more Significance than any
divergence of policy involved in the
specific action Of France in this
respect"

TENNESSEE HOUSE RATS SF AMENDMENT BUT MAY reconsider ACTION
PRESSURE ON WARSAW
RELIEVED BY POLES
HEROIC RESISTANCE

Paris, Aug. 18 (by the AS
sociated Press) WARSAW seems
to be saved from the bolsheviki.
President Pilsudski's armies
no longer are fighting a de-
fensive battle, and the bold
offensive on both wings has
reached the first objectives. The
Poles appear to be pausing be-
fore attempting to develop their
success.
The offensive on the left wing
is being led by the French
generals, Henry and Blllotte,
and has yielded important re-
suits. 1t has once more put
the Poles in possession of the
key to the Warsaw defenses-
the fork between the Narew and
Bug-while the forces advance
ing toward Mlawa, which have
reached Tsiechanoff, ~ miles
south of Mlawa, will force the
bolsheviki marching toward
Plock and Thorn to beat a
hasty retreat and reopen the
direct railroad to DanZig. But
the maneuver on the right be-
tween the Vistula and Bug is
more interesting from the stra-
tegic viewpoint, because it
threatens the communications
of the main bolshevik forces.
The movement has gained rapid
headway and driven the boil
sheviki back all along the line
toward Brest-Litovsk, distances
varying from % to so miles.

Larrazolo men say that If reelected
he would appoint Frank Hubbell.
LarraZolo's supporters assert that
Fall opposes the governor because
he wants an El Paso lawyer named
as his successor. One might think
that the governor of New Mexico
appointed a senator and then re-

possible vacancy being the chief is

that Larrazolo was going to con-

ANTI--L --LARRAzOLO
FACTION PICKS
BEN HERNANDEZ
congressman, According To
the Daily Rumor, Will A.
tempt To Wrest Nomina-
ton Away From Governor
(By Clinton T.. Anderson \

The wag who remarked that the
only sure things were death and
taxes, must never have lived
through the early fall of a presi-
Dental year. He would surely have
found out then that another sure
thing is the daily rumor, for which
every politician awaits.
Yesterday afternoon the news
travelled up and down the streets
Oh albuquerque that the opponents
OF Governor Larrazolo in his cam
paign Tor denomination had met
ana decided to support Ben c. Her
nandeZ Tor the republican nomina
uon. The rumor had some sup
port and probably some reason for
existence. Chiefly. it may be looked
upon as an attempt to neutralize
any faclal efforts Larrazolo may
make among the Spanish American
people.
A Good Congressman.
Hernandez has been good con-
gresham. He has worked hard
and faithfully. His grasp of public
questions has drawn to him the re-
spect of many thoughtful citizens.
1t is known that he is tired of
Washington and anxious to be back
in New Mexico permanently. A
natural step would be to support
him as the best bet against the
present governor.
There are few considerations to
be borne in mind. First, Berna-
lillo county does not elect or even
nominate p governor. Hernandez
might carry the county and still get
scanty recognition at the state con-
vention. The same thing applies to
Larrazolo. success here might
serve to strengthen sentiment
against him elsewhere.
But the daily rumor Is interest
ing, whether true Or not. If true,
1t will make the denomination of
LarraZolo more difficult. The op-
position to him has been wide
spread but unorganized. Since the
Fall conference, 1t has been taking
shape. II the ant-Larrazolo men
have really decided upon their can
didate. the battle now begins in
earnest.
But IL rumors are to be believed,
many strange things are due 10
happen In New Mexico. Senator A.
b. Fall Is to be made secretary Of
the interior or secretary of state
or attorney general OF the United
States, All tht rumors are very

government considers it absolutely
impossible to recognize the present
masters of Russia as government
with which the relations common
to friendly governments can be
maintained.
1.-THE government of the republic
has reached the same conclusion.
1t cannot have official relations
with a government which is re-
solved to conspire against its insti-
tutions; whose diplomats would be
instigators of revolt; and whose
spokesmen proclaim that they will
sign contracts with the intention
not to observe them.
Independent Polish state.
"In complete accord with the
federal government. the French
government believes in the necessi-
ty for an Independent Polish state
and the French people, like the
American people. ardently desire
the maintenance of the political in
dependence and the territorial in
tegrity of Poland.
This Is why there is agreement
between the French government
ana the American government to
encourage all efforts made with a
view to bringing about an armistice
between Poland and Russia while
avoiding giving to the regulations
a character which might result in
the recognition of the bolshevist
regime and in the dismemberment
of Russia.
"The federal government, as the
Interpreter of the feelings of the
American people, desires to help
the Russian people in whose future
the United States retains an un-
shaken faith. The government of
the republic associates itself unre-
servedly with this declaration. The
French government has never al
tered in its determination to up
hold the principles 50 clearly for
mulated by the United States. 1t is
in this spirit that it has decided
not to approve the armistice condi-
tions offered to Poland unless they
are in conformity with these prin-
ciples.
1T is in this spirit also that,
atter mature eAdullndlloIt II mas
in fact recognized a Russian gov

the same principles.
"In informing your excellency Of
the reception given to the declara-

fy you that the French government

The prevalent view among the al
lies is that Germany is in such a
helpless and chaotic state that If
economic reconstruction is ever to
be begun in Europe, the allies
should lend a helping instead OF
meddling hand.
Think 1t VIII Blow Over.
Curiously enough there is such
a deep confidence here in the sin
cerity of France and such a pro-
nounced disposition to regard the
French attitude as simply a case
of nerves that the whole episode of
French occupation Of German cities
is expected to blow over in a few
days. 1t is assumed here that Ger
many will reduce the number OF
troops in the Ruhr valley to the size
of police force and that this will
afford France a comfortable op-
portunity to withdraw her army on
the ground that order is being re-
stored and the German military
strength is measurably curtailed
The allies will find way out fol-
France. Informal conversations to
that end are in progress. Should
this development occur, it will be
victory for the moral force of the
associated powers in appealing tc
the conscience of hasty ally.
