Poland's reply to the admonition
Of the u<ited States government
that the offensive against the Boil
shevists must not be carried be-
yOnd the Polish photographic from
tiers was received yesterday by the
State Department.
Yesterday afternoon Bainbridge
Colby Secretary of State, said that
the text of the Polish reply would
be made public. Three hours later
it was announced that it had been
found impracticable to make the
correspondence public but that it
might be released today.
officials refused to say whether
the character of the Polish note
had anything to do with their de-
cision not to release the two docu-
ments, but it became known that
the answer from Warsaw does not
give the fat assurance that the
United States sought.
The objection of the Poles centers
around the contention that there is
as yet no guarantee that II they
stop at the Curzon-Polk line the
Bolshevists will not take advantage
of the cessation OF hostilities to re-
plsnish their war-spent ranks and
bring up new supplies.

CLUB INDORSES
HEADLIGHT LAW
Proposed Regulations Sim
pie for Autoists, Ex-
perts Say.

A proposed anti-glare headlight
law for the District was indorsed
by the public safety group Of the
City Club last night and the Dis
trict Commissioners will be petit
TONED at once to hold a hearing.
The proposed law is modelled after
the Wisconsin and Connecticut
laws. which are considered the best
in the country. 1t is considered
superior to the Maryland law.
c, H. Warrington. chairman oil
the traffic committee, said the pro-
posed law was stripped as far as
possible of technicalities.
Any autoist will be able to ad-
just his lights in ten minutes so as
to comply with this law" said w.
Pearce Rayner, chairman of the
group. He will be required to keep
only four things in mind-to pur-
chase a suitable bulb, to use an ap-
proved lense, to focus the bulb, and
to aim the headlights at the proper
angle. A simple little instrument
called a candle meter will enable
one to test his headlights without
difficulty. Headlights adjusted un-
der the proposed law would pass in
Maryland, and Maryland headlights,
IL properly adjusted. would pass
under the proposed law here"
The District Commissioners al
ready have slgnified their desire to
hold a hearing on the proposed law.
The committee condemned alleged
laxity at the Government Hospital
for the Insane, declaring that es-
Capes are almost a daily occurrence.
The committee urged that the po-
lice department be equipped with
more motorcycles and automobiles
and indorsed the formation of a
police motor corps of 300 auto
mobilists.
The committee recommended that
policemen be given an annual va
cation with pay.
The recommendation Of Mai.
Gessford, superintendent of police,
that a law to regulate the sale of
firearms in the District be enacted
was indorsed.

London, Sept. 1.-An international
shipping strike threatens to hold up
all the Atlantic services as a result
of secret London conferences in an
attempt to form a new triple labor
alliance by an amalgamation of the
National Seamens and Firemen's
Union, the British Seafarers, and of
the Cooks and Stewards, represent
ing the whole rank and file of the
British merchant marine.
The first move of the new alliance
will be to demand a fiat increase in
pay of $3.50 weekly for all classes of
its membership. 1t will next work
for the establishment OF a world
feder alton of seamen similar to the
International miners congress"
1t is preparing to support the de-
mand of the Atlantic crews for i'm
proved accommodations on board
vessels, by joint action of all British,
American, French and italian crews,
thus threatening an international al
strike affecting all Canadian ports
as well as American, British, French

The demand for an eight-hour day
threatens trouble, as the shipowners
say that their ships have not accom-
modations for the sized crews which
would be needed on an eight hour
basis.

BARUCH ANGEL
OF DEMOCRATS

Distribution of Story as
Propaganda.

of I. story which was to be used
for propaganda purposes was ad-
mitted this afternoon by W. J. Coch-
ran. director of publicity of the
Democratic National Committee.
Before the Senatorial investigat-
ing committee it was charged that
the Democratic National Committee
had made preparations TO have
published in "boiler-plate form" in
Republican and Democratic news
papers alike, Uncle Sam of Freedom
Ridge" which is said to be an ap-
peal for the league of nations.
George White, chairman of the
Democratic National Committee, ad-

up to him by Mr.. Cochran.
we did not have money for this
purpose explained Mr.. Cochran,
so l took it up with Bernard NJ.
Baruch He told me to circularize
the country and find out how much
of a demand there would be for it.
The 'bOiler-plate' was to have been
furnished gratuitously to the news

Union did circularize it and received
responses from 1900 papers. includ-
ing 700 Republican papers, that
they would use it,

Scientists proposing to use air

mountain" temperature within the
easy reach Of every city resident
have nothing on Patrolman Frank

department.
O'Howell does not claim to have
thus benefited humanity but he does
claim to have worked out a cool
ing" system by means of which he
induces his hens to lay during the
setting season.
O'Howell places his hens in cages
and then strings the cages to trees
and poles in such position that the
breezes play through the fowls
feathers. He claims that this sys-
tenn reduces the high temperature
given them by nature, and the re-
suit is that they continue laying

HARDING DEFIES
SLUSHINQUIRY
Senator Challenges Rivals to
Show Evidence of $l5,-
100000 Fund.

Marion, Ohio, Sept. Warren @.
Harding. Republican nominee for
President, today broke his long
silence regarding Gov. Cox's charge
that Republican managers were
raising ''slush fund" of $4,000, 900,
There seems to be no evidence
that an effort is being made to buy
the Presidency" said Senator Hard
ing.
Beyond that brief statement Sem
ator Harding declined to go, but his
lighter tone had the sound of a
man sure of his ground and was
used apparently for the purpose Of
impressing that certainty upon his
hearers
He has put the job Of refuting
the charges of Gov. Cox entirely in
the hands of the Republican COM
mitteemen and he proposes to leave
1t there. confident Of a satisfactory
outcome. There was no indication
here today that he intends further
to discuss the charges or any
phases Of the investigation of the
Senate committee now going on in
Chicago.
1t was the nominees first quiet
day for a week and he took the Oc-
CaSion also to comment on the agi-
tatiOn in Washington over provi-
siOns of the new merchant marine
bill act. which will abrogate a num-
Der Of commercial treaties between
the United States and foreign ma
tions- Although pleading unfamili-
arity with the details of the dis
cussiOn preCipitated by a letter
from John Barton Payne to the

merce, Senator Harding was lat in
his assertion that he favored the
shipping act and any act which
might be properly designed to
build up an American merchant
marine.

Root viii Decline to Back
Sen. Harding's Free Nations
Proposal, Is London Belief

There have been rumors for some
weeks that the Republicans were
planning a platform on the league
to be built up on Mr.. Roots inter-
national court, but it has not been
taken seriously here, principally be-
cause Mr.. Root himss sf has not en-
couraged it and beca9 Pc Mr.. Root In
his present position. n an appolntee
of the present League of Nations
and, for the moment. an oficisI of
that league.
Officially, England is watching
very carefully all dispatches con-
corning Americas attitude toward
the League of Nations. and today's
article by the Washington CORE
spondent of the Morning Post, quot
ing extensively from a Public Led
ger editorial on Hardings pronounce
ment, was read throughout the city
with especial interest, because this
country has been awaiting an ex-
preston of opinion from Senator
Harding's supporters on his inter-
national politics.
II was pointed out today in league
circles that inasmuCh as forty-two
nations officially have already join
ed the present League of Nations
and that inasmuch as they arc con-
tributing towards its support finan-
Cially and morally, 1t would be a
very difficult matter for the United
States government to form another
international association and gain
anything like the support OF so
many countries.
Will Attend Brussels Conference.
Furthermore, these States have
not only ratified the Versailles
treaty, but they officially have sig
nifed their intention of sending
delegates to the world financial
conference which the league has or
ganized for September "a at Brus-
sells.
Another point which league sup
porters emphasize Is that at the
meeting of the league in Geneva in
November there will be submittGl
several important amendments to
the league covenant, and il they are
approved by the assembly they will
modify the present league covenant.
The United States, of course, by not
having delegates at Geneva will not
be in a position to express itself in
regard to these amendments.
