FATE OF CAPITAL
 HANGS IN BALANCE
By Associated Pres

Paris. August 6.-The fate of Warsaw still .hangs in the balance. The latest news reaching Paris tonight, which was somewhat sparse, indicated that the Dol sheviki are making little progress; thas the impulse which carried them forward continuously during the past week has spent itself, but that they apparently are gathering force for fresh onslaught.
 Military observers here still cherish the hope that the situation may yet pe saved,
 The situation of the Polish armies. although most critical, by no means s despe rate.r writes General Delacroic in the Temps, since they stil have re- sources and are disputing foot by foot all the territory of the Vistula and tho San. all depends on their powers of re- sistance and the means at their disposal. In war, despair Is only Justified when moral strength and the power of a reae- ton are destroyed. That is not the ease with Poland
 Advices received by the French foreign office from the Polish front give the un- pression that there has been lull in the fighting and a stabillzation of the line during the lastt wo days. The enemy artillery apparently Is short of ammuni- tion and there has been delay in bring ing up guns and shells to position from which they can be rushed for the final dash to within smelling range of War saw Airplane scouts over the red line, probably members of the kosciusKo squadron report a heavy movement across the Bug river of stores of amn,u- hilton, guns and materials of all kinds by the enemy.

EVACUATION OF WARSAW
 IS WELL UNDER WAY

Warsaw, August 5.-Plans of for. eign bureaus to evacuate Warsaw are proceeding with a rush. The French. British and Australians have requested q special train for Friday while the German legation has a special train for it's employees and German subjects at Warsaw, which is expected to de- part Friday night.
 Banks are making preparations to look after the cash in their care, while jewellers and other dealers in valuables arc perfecting their arrangements.
 Evacuations of the prisons have all ready begun. One hundred non- political prisoners left for Posen today, and it is exected smaller groups will follow them throughout the night. Civilians are proceeding as fast as the railroads can accommodate them. Even freight cars are brought into use for families with household goods. Trains are departing with people riding on
 car tops and others struggling for | standing room inside.

 of the people bearing brand new grips, 1 indicate that Poles are departing who i have not travelled in years, some of
 them even making their first trip of

 | For months Warsaw has been one Of
 the most crowded cities in Europe, and
 1t has been virtually impossible to se- cure first class hotel accommodations 1 unless a bonus was paid. But today l fe,, travellers are arriving and one can
 get room in any hotel for the asking.
 Foreigners began quietly eNacuating Warsaw weeks ago. and many Poles are
 now departing. In fact the newspapers tare taking the Poles to task for ieav- ling the capital on one pretext or an other. Extra trains have been put on the line between Warsaw and Danzig Great queues of ticket purchasers

Philadelphia, August 6.-After three hall. The Crank" identified as Au- gusto Pasquale, alias Pascol held by the police as an accomplice In the Kidnapping of 1S-months-old Blakely Coughlin. began to weaken tonight and made an appeal to the captors of the child to return him in twenty four hours or he would tell all he knew.
 This was announced tonight by Maj. Lynn G. Adams. head of lshe Pennsyl- vania state police, whose men captured Pasquale at Egg Harbor, N. J., last Monday.
 Send out word to those people who have the baby" Pasquale said in des- peration after constant questioning, according to Adams, that they must get me out of this. Tell them in some way that if they don't bring back the kid or tell you people where to get him within twenty-four hours. I'll squeal I can't stand this much longer.'
 HELD BY WOMAN
 And then when he had again recov- cred his nerve he said: But l don't think the woman who has the kid will give him to you. She has grown so fond of him since she has had him that I don't think she will give him up She certainly is fond of that kid"
 Pasquale's appeal for the return of the baby boy followed an earlier state ment to the police that the child Is alive. "Blakely Coughln is alive what more do you wantT' he ex- claimed. What are you worrying about? Let me go and I'll tell where he is."

FINANCIAL REPORT OF STATE AUDITOR MAKES GOOD SHOW
Second Best Financial Rec ord Established By Ala bama Since 1917 Is
 Indicated
By FRED H. GORMLEY
 Msstvsnsry Bursas The Ass-hsrait

22t-2 Frst National Baak 6ustBu
 Montgomery, August 6.-(Special. )--Ala- bama's total revenue during the fiscal year ending September 30 1919. was B. 55s, ,751. .01, while disbursements during the same year were s, ,l9a, ,44o77, leaving in the treasury s365, ,3io.24 to be applied on the payment of outstanding warrants which had been accommodating for several years This financial condition of the state is shown in the annual report of H. F. Lee. state auditor, to Governor Kilby, which was made public Friday.
 This was the second best financial rec ord established by the state since 1907. The treasury showed receipts above dis bursements for the last two years of the administration of Governor Charles Hem derson and the revenue for 1918 was 36l7.- 9l8.2S above disbursements.
 Relief measures enacted by the legis- lature in 1919 did not become effective until October l, therefore the financial condition for the fiscal year or 1919 was not affected by anything done by the legislature during the year. An extraor- dinary expense during the year result ed from the long session of the legisia- ture.
 In making public the report, the state auditor said it had been delayed because of the condition of the appropriation for printing, over which he had no control. In a preliminary statement, Mir. Lee set out that collections from the six and one half mills provided by the constitution as well as from automobile licenses would be better during this year than last. Up to June 1. 1919. total collections from this constitutional source were $4,-
 S272055, while for the period ending June 1, 1920, total collections were $l,BS.- 8sl19
 Automobile licenses have brought into the state treasury for the fiscal year of 1920. s774E002, an excess of 3484, ,S66 H over the total period for the previous year. This is due to the increase in licenses provided by the legislature last year However, the general fund no longer is helped by these licenses. as the total will he used in paying interest and creating a sinking fund to care for the good roads h, nd issued authorized February ls. Outstanding and unpaid warrants at the close of business for the last fiscal year were u. .317 094y. while there was an ac' tual balance in cash in the state treasury | o< s15o. .590O9. leaving an actual deficit ol i x1 1ss. 504 90 This deficit has been cared | for bv the state by temporary loans ane tba bvpothecation of state warrants al collateral, a practice which mas peer

 Major Adams denied reports that Pasquale is becoming a physical wreck from the long examination he has gone through since last Monday. On the other hand. Major Adams said, the prfs- oner is composed and suave. He ad- mits nothing unless he Is convinced that the police have the proof against him. When they ply him with other questions that would incriminate him if answered. he smiles, shrugs his shoulders and says nothing.
 SEEK MAN AND WOMAN
 The state and local police for sew eral days have been convinced that the missing child is alive and that a woman is connected with the case Pasquale's confirmation of their con viction has resulted in increasing the force of men who are now searching for a habitue of the underworld and his supposed sweetheart. They are acouaintances of Pasquales and are believed to be the actual kidnapers and the present possessors of the baby. The name of the man Is known to the police as 1t was given them by Pas quale. but he failed to identify a po- lice photograph of his friend when shown him late today
 The state and city authorities said they had to proceed very carefully in the case. as they wanted to return the baby alive to it's mother. They did not know the temperament of the present keepers of the child nor how desper- ately they are being pressed. The pen alty of abduction in Pennsylvania is life Imprisonment.
 The police believe the captors of the child are ready to abandon him If they can do it without detection. Botf l Major Adams and Alfred I. Souder, cap' tain of city detectives, said tonight they would not be surprised If the baby l should turn up at any minute.
