POLAND'S COLLAPSE
 MENACE 10 WORLD
POLES HAVE COMPLETE LACK OF CONFIDENCE IN THE LEAGUE
 OF NATIONS.

Warsaw.-Each hour brings the Red hordes closer to Warsaw on con sCantly changing fronts north and east of the capital. The departure of the Polish armistice negotiators for Baranovitch, behind the Red lines, brings no hope of the immediate sus- pension of hostilities, although the meeting undoubtedly will be start CT in that direction. Isolated groups of Polish cavalry under resolute lead CTS and old, experienced officers are lighting their way back through the Red lines to join the retiring main body, and in so loing are causing great interference with commuAica- tions with the enemies rear.
 In the Polish capital these days theer is complete absence of conf dence that the League of Nations will be able to settle Russo Polish diff ferences.
 The Poles appreciate that the CT in that lirection. Isolated groups Poles launched their offensive against she Reds two months ago.
 The Poles know the Reds do not recognize the League of Nations, and refuse to consider the Russian-P war a matter in which other nations of Europe have a part.
 Moscow, although still cherishing schemes of international revolution by propagadna, is not losing single op- portunity to take the fullest advan- tage of the new nationalist feeling which, developing among the Reds, lad the effect of uniting the various factions-even the dissatisfied For once the Moscow directors have laid aside all talk of international brother bod and have resorted immediately to a stronger appeal to Russian na- tionalism.
 On the other hand Poland, having played the spirit of her new nation alism to the limit, has been forced to appeal for an armistice, and now turns to the international prospects of the situation and demands actual aid from it's European allies on the basis that their concern in the out come of the conflict is greater even than that of Poland.
 The Reds expecting no outside as 5istance, will undoubtedly make the armistice terms as severe as possible and in the event of break in nego- tiations will continue military penetra- tion, reaping full benefit from their presen strong position in the field.

PATROL ENTRANCE TO MiAMs HARBOR UNDER ORDERS
 FROM THE PRESIDENT.
WOULD PREVENT MONOPOLY
British Cable Ship Has Been Charter ed By the Western Union Tele- graph Company To Land the
 American End of Gable.

Wasnington.-Fiye destroyers are patrolling the entrance to the Miami (Fla.) harbor, under orders from Pres ident Wilson to prevent, by force, if necessary the landing of a cable the Western Union Telegraph Company is having laid from Barbadoes. British possession in the West Indies.
 A British cable ship, the Colonial has been chartered by the Western Union Company to land the American end of the cable, which would cen meet with a British cable from Darba- does to South America.
 At the State Department it was said that the British embassy had been asked to inform the master of the ship that such a landing would be in violation of American law. Officials said there is no significance in the fact that the vessel was British; that she probably was the only cable craft available to the American Company when she was chartered. work on the cable line from Barbadoes was begun last summer
 Some time ago the Western Union Company applied to the State Depart ment for an executive permit to land the wire at Miami, but officials said action had been delayed pending the holding of the International Commun- ications Congress, called to meet in Washington September 15-
 A British cable company now has an monopoly of cable rights in Bra zilian waters. An American concern desires to construct direct cable lina from the United States to Brazil and it was said that the American govern ment desires to know before issuing the permit to the Western Union Con- pany whether the arrangement enter ed into by the company with the Brit ish concern, the Western Cable Com pany, controlling the line from Bar badoes to Brazil, would add to this monopoly.
 It Yas said that at the forthcoming International Communications Con- gress the whole theory of internation- al communications was to be examin- ed "in very different temperament" from that existing in the past.

OFFICIAL lNVESTIGAToR FINDS MEANS BY WHICH THEY EN-
 TER UNITED STATES.

Tacoma, Wash. - Assertion that "an underground system by which thousands of Japanese are smuggled into the United States yearly" has been located was made here by Repre- sentative Albert Johnson, chairman of the House subcommittee on Imm1gra. tion and Naturalization, which met again to look into Japanese activities in the Northwest.
 We have found that the Japanese underground system began at Yoko hama" he said. From thence Ii leads to Honolulu mad extends across the Pacific to Guaymas on the Gulf of California.
 Here, either by water or across the border, the Japanese invaders are smuggled into the United States. A perfect system of escort has been es tablished. In Honolulu, posts have been established which take care Of the details of the smuggling Mexi can guards are known to have been bribed with $10 at the United States Mexican border. The same careful system of escort has been established both at Yokohama and Honolulu.
 Once the Japanese is smuggled into California he is taken in tow b5 some member of the Japanese asso citation, branches of which are i'll Ore gon and Washington. He is taken to the bank and his credit is estab lished by substantial deposit
 Then he goes out into the vine yards or into the agricultural dis, tricts and hides for five years At the expiration of this time he can come out of seclusion. If he is ques toned by the government authorities as to his residence he can quickly es tablish this by taking the autA1rities to the bank where five years before he made his first deposit This estab. fishes his bona fide residence of five years as required by statute
 ''The Japanese associations in the various cities make no record for government observation of any of these unlawful entries into the coun- try. We have found the records con. fusing as to the number of Japanese in the United States. As matter of fact it would be impossible for the United States to take a correct cen- sus of the Japanese population, be cause the census takers could not 10. cate all the Japanese here.
