America is savagely attacked by

and that the United States took
good care that Germany should not
be excessively trampled upon and
impoverished, she being an excel

Copenhagen, Feb. 6.-Reports
that the bolshevik government OF
Russia plans military offensive
against Poland are denied by Maxim
Litvinoff, representative of the
soviet government who is in this
city comforting with James O'Grady'
British delegate, for the exchange
of prisoners of war. He says:
1--WE are certain allied reaction
aries are working with the military
party, the conservative elements
and the foreign Office Of Germany.
To cover this cooperation press
campaign is on foot to mislead pub
lie opinion and to give the impress
sion that soviet Russia intends to
attack Poland. Rumors of the
massing of Russian troops on the
Polish frontier have for the mo- :
part come through German sources.
"Our peace offers to Lettvia.
Lithuania and Finland are still
open and We are prepared to begin

DIFFER ON RED
PERIL IN j. s.

Washington, Feb. 6.-Confiicting
views as to the danger to the Unit
ed States from radicals now in this
country were presented today to
the house judiciary committee con-
sidering anti-sedition legislation.
Francis H. F. Kane, former fed
eral district attorney at Philadel-
phia, who resigned recently because
he was not in sympathy with At
torney General Palmer's campaign
against the reds" told the commit
tee that much of the agitation about
bolshevism in America was mere
talk"
Attorney General Charles D. New
ton OF New York disagreed with
this view, declaring that thousands
OF radicals, backed by radical
press, were daily advocating the
revolutionary overthrow of the
government and the establishment
of a dictatorship.
Congress and the neople Of the
United States should awaken to the
danger Of the doctrines of these
radicals and take necessary steps
to curb their propaganda, Mr.. New
ton said

SIC, 900 100000 of American loans
to foreign countries and to defer
collections of interest for not more
than three years was said to have

expressed alarm that further de-
cline would seriously affect Amer
ican export trade. Discussion was
said to have developed practically
unanimous opinion that the foreign
countries were unable at present to
pay their interest in dollars, and 1t
was agreed that cash payment OF
the interest was not needed by the
United States at this time.

London. Feb. 6.-The movement

orally more favorable, under the
lead Of the advance in exchange on
New York to $3.35. Paris and Brus-
sells exchange eased to 48 francs As
centimes and At francs 80 centimes,
respectively. The movement was
based on the growing belief that
combined action would be taken
shortly to deal with the exchange
problem.
Several plans for such action
have been suggested in financial
circles. The one most favored is
for the government banks Of the
world to form a central committee,
sitting permanently in London, with
representatives Of each bank as
members.

PAIL OF SMOKE
OVER CHICAGO

Chicago, Feb. 6.-Steam and ele-

face transportation seriously ham
pered by a pail of smoke which
hung over Chicago today.
At 2 o'clock the darkness was so
intense that automobiles and street
cars were unable to move without
headlights. Street lights were shut
off at the usual hour and as a re-
suit thousands of workers were
late, delayed by the slow moving
cars.
Weather Observer Cox said the
condition was purely local and not
due to fog. There was no wind to
carry the smoke away, he said, and
as result the clouds settled over
the city.

alton of the railroad administration
for its work as a government
liquidation agent in preparation for
a return of the roads to their own

FEAR RESULT OF
RUSSIAN TRADE

Paris, Feb. 6.-Doubt as to the
practical working Of the plan for
the partial resumption Of trade
with Russia through the Russian
Cooperative Societies developed at
today's session of the council of
ambassadors.
The discussion came through an
examination of the possibility of
the bolsheviki finding an outlet
from Russia through Reval under
the partial raising of the blockade.
During this discussion it was de-
clared that the soviet government,
after saying it would consent to
the proposed restricted trading
with the outside world through
these cooperative societies, had
shown a disposition to tie up the
societies with official administra-
ton in such a way as to make even
partial trading impossible.

Aurora supposedly was emerging
from a mild run of the influenza.
Comparatively few cases had been
reported. 1t was because so few
cases were reported from Aurora
in comparison with other communi-
ties, that the state health depart
ment got an idea that the situation
was not under control in Aurora.

Winner. was sent here today. He
found, he said, that there were sew
eral thousand cases here and on
his orders Mayor Charles Townsend
shut down the town effective to-

PALMER FILINGS
HAT into RING
Attorney General Admits He VIII
be Candidate for Democratic
Nomination.

Chicago, H., Feb. 6.-Attorney
General A. Mitchell Palmer, stop
ping over in Chicago an hour last
night, threw his hat into the presi-
Dental ring. 1t was the first ad-
mission by the attorney general
that he would permit actsss advo-
cacy of his candidacy for the Dem
ocratic presidential nomination.
Mr.. Palmer said he would make
his war on profiteers and the reg
ulation of big industries his chief
platform plank. He held a con-
ference in his half-hour visit with
District Attorney Clyne.
Asked regarding the presidency,
the attorney general said:
There is plenty of time for poll
tics after we have attended to the
profiteers and have freed the coun-
try of undesirable aliens. My
friends are in favor of my sending
my hat into the ring, and you will
observe that the Democratic ring
is singularly free of headgear a,
this time.
Leaves Action to Friends.
"We always have been interested
in the race when it reaches the
last quarter and is important. ]
am quite ready to see the Republi.
can monopolize the field at the
early stages and leave my action
to my friends when the time is
ripe"
That is sufficiently clear to your
friends" said District Attorney
Clyne. "and will be mighty good
news to them. Now they can go te
work." And he heartily sho0i
hands with Mr.. Palmer.
The positive statement that the
attorney general would enter the
Democratic fight caused political
'dopesters" to assume President
Wilson would not be q candidate
for . third term. They asserted
tho attorney general would no,
have admitted his candidacy until
he knew the presidents desires.
Mr.. Palmer would not commeu,
e. this phase o. ths situation.

GREY letter,
INCIDENT IS
NOT CLOSED
Wilson May Demand Elk
PLANTATION for Breach Of
Diplomatic Etiquet
BY DAVID LAWRENSE.
Especial to The Argus.)


Washington, d. c., Feb. 6.--presi-
dent Wilson resents British inter
ference in the domestic affairs OF
tho United States and while in the
interest of good relations and the
passage of the treaty no formal in
cident has as yet been made of Lord
Grey's letter, there is no question
of the displeasure Of the incumbent
of the White house.
In these columns on Wednesday
it was pointed out that while the
letter Of Lord Grey had pleased the
Republican leaders, it had offended
the true friends of President Will
son and strengthened the hand OF
the irreconcilables in the senate
who were thankful for the phrase
"a plunge into the unknown" con-
tributed by the distinguished Brit
ish envoy as comment on the
League of Nations. But it was not
evident until two days more passed
that the suspicion OF White house
resentment against the Grey letter
was we'll founded. The confirma-
ton came in one of these subtle
ways which President Wilson has
of expressing his thoughts by I'm
plication. The presidents secretary
permitted the correspondents TO
quote his answer to a question
they had asked him concerning
report that the president had been
consulted by Lord Grey before
publishing his famous letter in the
London Times, commenting on the
conflict between the executive and
legislative branches of our govern
ment. The answer was an en-
phatic statement that the president
had not been consulted.
Not Inaccessible.
To the criticism that President
Wilson was inaccessible and could
not be seen by Lord Grey. 1t was
moreover officially stated that mat
ters of this kind could be put IN
writing and that it was customary
: for diplomats TO communicate by
written rather than by oral cor
respondence.
In fact ambassadors or ministers
rarely see the president and do
most of their business by informal
not or memorandum. There were
, plenty OF ways by which Lord Grey
might have reached the president,
and moreover the secretary of state
was ready at all times to talk with
the British envoy and did in fact
receive him and communicate In
writing to President Wilson exactly
v hat Lord Grey said on each occa-
sion.
| But the point of the White house
pronouncement seems to be that
| British ambassador to the United
States, who still holds that rank SO
far as the United States is officially
! advised but who is absent from his
post, has expressed himself quite
fully on American domestic affairs
at a moment of intense feeling be-
tween rival political branches OF
the American government. Lord
Grey is at home and probably has
hot intended to return to the United
States any way so there is no ques-
