mission in Warsaw.
Both General Weygand and General
Delma Radcliffe. of the British mill

the situation is not hopeless and can
be retrieved If their recommendation
were carried out
The suggestions of Generals Wcygand
and Radcliffe included rpgrouping OF
the Polish forces and strategic move

keeping large part of the Polish forces
on the GaliCian front. but the Pole
were determined upon these tactics be.

1t is known also that 500 picked

ercise whatever authority apparently
has been allowed them by the Poles.
The Polish general staff is composed
of officers with Austrian, Russian ant
German training. and is therefore no
only not united in military theories
but is also at variance with General!
Wcygand and Radcliffe. The Allied

Washington, Aug. 0.-Unless eastern
railroads epeed up the supply of cars
to bituminous mines the northwest lake
region this winter will face the worst
fuel famine in its history, reports re-
ceived by the National Coal Association
here show.
Deliveries to lake ports. 1000, 600
tons short of normal for this season of
Z the year, have resulted in a demand on
the roads and the Interstate Commerce
3 Commission for 1000 cars q day for 100
days, the limit of open navigation on the
Great Lakes. The operators declare this
schedule must be maintained IL the
Northwest is to be supplied with the
10000. 900 additional tons necessary to
meet the emergencr
OF the 25 900 600 to 10000. 900 tons
which represents the Northwest's nor
NAL requirements. less than 100000
\ tons have been dumped ut lake ports
this year. At this time last year the
deliveries approximatcd II. 600. 900 tons,
and the preceding year $4,000, 200 tons.
Officials of the National Coal Associa-
tion insist they can produce the coal il
the railroads will supply the cars.
John Il. Pratt. of the association. de-
clared today the roads agreed to meet
the order. but thus far have fallen be-
hind their schedule.
Officials of the Interstate Commerce
Commission take an optimistic view of
the situation and are apparently salts
fed with the promises of the roads.
Practical railroaderS in the commission
assert the problem of ear supply is es-
sentially one of car movement. contend
ing that il the car movement can be
r.... nf mil moi
car IL will be equivalent to 300 900 ad-
ditional cars.
REPORTS received by the commission
show the car movement is again nt nor
NAL for the first time in many months.
and that freight accumulation through
out the country has been materially
reduced since last April. when it reach
ed its peak. Government officials are
convinced the roads are doing everything
cent priority order speeding shipments
to lake ports and believe the heavy
penalties imposed for delays in loading
and unloading in yards will result in
gradual acceleration of the car move

Representatives of the operators as

of the other roads ar" delivering cars
as agreed. but that the Pennsylvania

Agricultural interests in the northwest
face bankruptcy because of car short
age. the Interstate Commerce Com
mission was told by railroad commits
sioners and shippers from Montana,
Minnesota. North Dakota and South
Dakota. The commission was asked to
issue orders guaranteeing the car sup
ply for the movement of the grain crops
The spOkesmeu said indications were
that the 1920 crop would equal that of
1918, and that failure to novel to to
market not only would ruin the growers.
but would seriously affect the remainder
of the country, resulting III food
shortage.

ment of a defensive line in Poland
either before Warsaw or Immediately
behind the capital if it is too late now
for the former. NJ. Mllcrand also
proposed that the French and British
troops in the plebiscite areas be used
for this line. chiefly FOR moral support,
and that Rumania and Czecho-
Slovakia also be asked TO send troops.
In tho event of a final break in the
negotiations with the Moscow govern =
rlcnt it is believed France will bear the
burden of land aid while Great Britain
will assume full responsibility for the
imposition of the blockade.
Refusal Blow to Peace Plan
The rejection by the Bolshevists of
the proposal for an immediate ten days
truce came as severe blow to Mr..
Lloyd Georges peace efforts. The pur-
pose of the truce was to halt tie Boil
shevist onward rush on the ground they
now oCCuIy and to arrange temporary
peace within the next ten days.
The memorandum presented TO the
Russian cmissaries by Premier LloyC
George last Friday proposed a truce to
run from midnight of August 010 on
:hcSc conditions:
First. The Poles to refrain from re-
cquipping their armies and moving
troops and munitions and the Soviet
to refrain from strengthening their
front.
Second. The Allies 70 refrain from
sending troops or munitions to Poland
Third. Soviet representatives to bt
stationed at Danzig or any other point
to see that the terms were carried out
on the condition that they refrain from
propaganda.
Fourth. The Russian and Polish dele

the armies and to arrange armistic'
