Representatives at Washing ton Deny Invasion
 Is Planned.
NO INTENTION TO
 PROLONG FIGHTING
Great Britain Has Already Announ ced Her Opposition to Any Trans gressiOn of Russian Terri
 tory by the Poles.

Washington, Aug. 23.-Complet, assurance vii be given the United States today in Polish official cir. cles, that Polands victorious armies will not pursue their advance beyond 1 the natural frontiers of he reconsti- tuted republic. An early communca- tion from Warsaw to this effect was expected by these officials. Rep. resentations settin gforth the views of this government have been made through the legation at Warsaw, the state department announced today the communication reiterating the stand taken by Secretary Colby in ador.
 The position of the American gov ernment as outlined then was that the allied and associated powers should unite in declaration fav- bring the preservation of the integ
 
 be accompanied "by the announce ment that no transgression by Poland will be permitted"
 The Polish reply, legation officials said, would set at rest any suspici- ons that Poland was contemplating the prolonging of histillities into an offensive war against Russia. As surances of this nature, it was ad- ded, already had been given the sov- let government envoys by the Polish peace delegates at Minsk.
 No formal representations have been exchanged with the allies by the United States regarding the pos sible transition of the Polish opera tlons from an offensive to a defen- slve character. The American gov ernment is understood to be satis fled with the situation as set forth Ill its note and representations made to the Polish government have al- ready been only an elaboration of the principles enunciated in that doe ument.
 Great Britain, however, through Premier Lloyd George, has announc ed her opposition to any transgres- slon by Poland of Russian territory. For the present, it is believed the brltlsh government will rest on the announcement of the British posi- ton by Lloyd George in the house of commons before taking up possi- Die rejoinder to the American note to the Italian ambassador in which the invitation wa sissued for dec- laratlon by the allies and associated powers of their attitude toward Po- land and Russia.

Order Restraining Certifica- tion Extended to Include
 Clerks.
RECALCITRANTS ARE
 STILL IN ALABAMA
Their Action Brings the Legislative Machinery of State to Complete Standstill-Contend Injunc-
 tiOn Only Obstacle.

Nashville, Tenn, Aug. 23.-Argu- ment on the order restricting state and executive officials from certify ing to Washington Tennessee's rati- fication of the federal suffrage amendment may be heard Wednes. day or Thursday, it was thought to- night, though no agreement had been reached. The order was ex- tended today to include the chief clerks of the senate and house, and was amended to cover the action of the house in transacting business Saturday, when it twas not at any time constitutionally organized"
 Meantime, the legislative machin. cry of the state has come to a com plete standstill, the more than a score of antis' members who went to Decatur, Alabama, remaining out of Jurisdiction. Some of the suffra- gists in the house today attempted to dispense with roll call and to work on local bills, but a roll call was demanded and a quorum being found lacking, adjournment was talk en until late tomorrow. This is ex. pected to be the procedure for the next few days at least.
 Rumors today that an agreement had been reached between suffrage leaders and the bolters at Decatur to return to Nashville and proceed with legislation under a pledge that suffrage would not be referred by either faction, were denied in all quarters.
 The suffragists still maintain their action Saturday was legal in every respect and regard the temporary in- junction as the only stumbling block in the way of certifying ratification to Washington.
 The opposition, declaring the suf- f1agists acted illegally. claims the house still has the opportunity tc rcscind ratification and is urging mass meetings against suffrage thru out of the state.

OL YMPIAD CLOSES
 WITH AMERICAN 
 TEAM THE WINNER
Scored Twice As Many Points As Films, Who Win
 Second Place.

Antwerp, Aug. 23.-The seventh Olympiad closed late today amid continued rain and cold, SO far as the track and field competitions are concerned, with decisive victory for the American athletes.
 Although the team is not consid- cred as good as some of the other teams that have come to Europe in the past to take part in Olympic games, the Americans rolled up to- tai of PIP points during the week of competitions, figure more than twice as great as that of the near est rival nation-Finland, with 1O5.
 Scoring on basis of 22 points to any event allowed by the information al athletic federation, the American team piled up approximately one third of possible aggregate total of 638. The Americans scored in all but four events, and were tied with Finland for first place cham pionship honors, each nation having won nine firsts. The United States was far ahead in second places with
 
 thirds, having won nine to ten for Sweden. The Americans scored ten fourths, twice as many as their near est rival. They outranked the oth- CT teams in fifths won, but did not obtain quite as many sixths as Swe- den.
 Of four worlds records establish ed, the American atheletes made three, the fourth going to Finland. The only Olympic record establish ed which is not also world record. was by an American.
 The games just closed were nota- ble in the fact that only three ath- letes were able to win two first places. These were Firegirio, the Italian walker, who took the 5000 and 10000 meter events. Hill, the English middle distance runner. who won the 800 and 1,5O0 meters and Nurmi, the Finn, who was first in the 10000 meters run and the cross country race today, which it is ad mltted, is considerably short of the advertised -milometers.
 The athletes are beginning to de- part from Antwerp tonight, the Swedes going to Paris for the tri- angular meet with the French and Americans. The Englishmen also are leaving to prepare for their games with the Americans in London September 4. A portion of the Ann erlcan team will sail Wednesday for New York. The others are due to depart next month.
 There will be considerable re. checking of the point figures in the athletic events. The Belgian press announces today list that was full or errors which they called official. Al! the records were re-checked un- ol1lclaily tonight. The United states has PIP points, Finland 105. sweden 95, England s5, France 34 and Italy 28.
