 Trapitsin then asked that the Chinese evacuate Nikolaievsk and assist in evacuating the Russians, stating that the town was to be destroyed The request was re- fused, but on May 24 the Chinese did evacuate to Mago. twenty miles up the river. Here they and other foreigners were protected by the Chinese gunboat
 Immediately after the Chinese evacuation Trapitsin troops began new attacks and on the night of May 24 they set fire to the iails and put to death all of the 134 Japanese prisoners, stating that the jails had been fired by the Japanese themselves.

TANKS BOMBING REDS

Warsaw, July 12.-The members of the Kosciuszko aerial squadron, composed almost entirely of Americans. are using bombing Gcthas along the southern front against the forces of General Budenny, the ,holshevik cavalry leader.
 These Gothas. which recently arrived, are the largest airplanes in use on any front and have proved particularly eff fective against cavalry. The first day
 they were used one Gotha, piloted by an
 American with an American bomber, put
 out of commission two bolshevik armored trains.
 General Budenny himself had narrow escape from the bombing while riding al
 the head of his forces.
 An overwhelming number of bolsheviki have been thrown against the Polish left, which is gradually bending south west. The reds are constantly bringing up endorsements.
 From the northeast the bolshevigi are driving against Wilma, which is being evacuated of military supplies. but the Poles are determined to defend it, and both sides are being reinforced.

BROTHERHOOD PLEDGE SENT BY D'OLIER

New York, July 13.-The doughboy and poilu will be brothers in peace in war.
 This pledge was sent tonight to Mar shal Foch and the soldier-ci of France by Franklin D'')lier, national commander of the American Legion, to be delivered tomorrow on the an niversary of the fall of the Bastille. The message was in answer to felicita ! tions sent by Marshal Foch on the Fourth of July.
 Tt is with the affectionate admira- ton that fighting men feel for their proven comrades in nigh adventure that. on behalf of nearly five million Americans who bore arms. the Ameri- can Legion takes this occasion of an anniversary of French triumph to sa- lute you and return the felici ations addressed by you to our soldiers on the Fourth of July" read the message.
 'Rut our regard is based on deeper sentiment than mere association in arms. Americas youth came to France impressed with the story of your won derful achievements. Your stern will of iron at Nerdun, your reckless dash at the chemin des danes. your un- flinching courage at the Marne, in- cidents all that set new standards of devotion of duty We were not disil-
 
 we had heard were outdone by the reality. We found that France suf- fered with smile on her lips; lau ghed in the jaws of death, held to her tradi tional courtesy and chivairy at the very time when the foe pounded at the gates of Paris.
 Who among us now returned to our homes can forget the stoic and terri ble courage of the poilu? Who can brush aside the memory of the hospi- tality of your people, always grateful and always gracious? Who can dis count the privilege of yielding arms under the same high commander, be- lieving ever i'm ultimate victory? The picture can never fade.
 Great Frances battle against op- pression and predatory autocracy has been long one. Charles Martel. Charlemagne, Saint Louis were cham pions of the right when their outposts were the outposts of civilization. It is our pleasure to pay homage to these great French foreigners of the past.

NATION'S OPINION FLOUTED

The President demands a campaign on this issue; the democratic platform makes the issue paramount, and finally the dem ocratic candidates unqualifiedly acquiesce. The score and more of democratic sem ators who voted for the Lodge reserva- ticns are repudiated the real opinion Of the American nation is flouted, because the President insists upon his issue re- gardles sof cost or consequences. The republican party and candidate gladly ac-' cept the challenge. We are more than willing to make the election national referendum on the question whether we shall have four years more of democratic readiness to surrender this republic

We are gong to carry this campaign into every state of the union. We believe that is the square democratic and republican way of doing things.
 There is one thing that I want to tell you and that is that the national demo cratic convention was run in the open All my life I have tried to do things in the open where every one could see and where nothing was concealed. That was the spirit of the convention and I hope that will be the spirit of the campaign I hope that there will be no mud-slinging and that the issues will be presented fully, clearly and honestly.

B. F. KEITH'S-Vaudeville.

A tabloid musical comedy. TROUBLES
of 1920" is presented this week at
keith's. and is one of the substan
tial hits of the season. George Jessel
heads the company. and quickly es-
tablished himself as a favorite and
an artist of unusual ability. The COM
edy Is built along original lines. and
it's originality adds to its charm.
Jessel, ambitious to manage COM
pany. borrows all his mothers money,
and then gets his costumes and seen
cry on credit. The creditors sweep
down on the show and take away all
its effects. leaving the production
stranded and the manager alone with
his mother on the bare stage. The
idea is worked out nicely, and Jessel
makes every line telling one. In
singing his own songs he made hit.
Another act that went over with a
telling punch is presented by AL and
Fanny Stedman. under the title OF
"Pianocapers." Both are adopts in
quick-fi repartee; all their jokes are
original and new. Many curtain calls
rewarded their efforts.
