AT RIGA MAY
PROVEFUTILE
Allied Powers Unlikely to
Accept Status Of Boil
shevik Russia.
POLAND OUT OF ORDER
u. S. Would Insist on Elmo
graphic Boundary Fixed
AT Versailles.
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.
Copyright, 1920, by Public Ledger co..


DiplomatIsts in Washington de-
clare that the validity of the peaSe
about to be concluded between Po-
land and Soviet Russia is open to
grave question. They say 1t is well
within the bounds of possibility that
the allied and associated powers
under whose aegi. the new state
of Poland was brought into exis-
tence will refuse to sanction the
pact OF Riga. 1t is challenged on
two major grounds:
First, because a peace to which
one belligerent is a party who has
not been recognized by foreign gov
errments is not a valid peace ac-
cording to strict Interpretation of
international law: and.
Second, because Poland has i'm
posed upon the Soviet government
a territorial settlement which con-
stitutes dismemberment of Russia
and directly ignores the frontiers
assigned to Poland by the supreme
inter-allied council in pursuance of
Article 81 of the treaty of Yer
~ AlSh OldAlu Is a pal ~ .
American Attitude Firm.
American approval of territorial
boundaries that might be fixed in
a peace treaty between Poland and
the Soviet government will not be
given unless the ethnographic line
outlined as Polish territory by the
Versailles treaty is adhered to, il
was indicated today at the State
Department.
The armistice line. agreed to by
the Poles and Bolsheviks, it was
maintained at She State Depart
ment, will exist only until 4 per1na-
nent peace treaty is negotiated be-
tween the two governments.
1t was officially pointed out yes
terday that the policy of the United
states government in the Polish
Russo situation, as outlined in the
Presidents note to the Italian gov
ernment some time ago. definitely
pledged this government to the pro-
posed boundaries fixed at the Peace
Conference Any boundary line that
may be agreed upon by Poland and
the Soviet powers at variance with
the photographic limits, II was said
viii not be given the approval OF
the United States until some all
Russian government has accepted
the territories agreed upon.
No BoIshevik Recognition.
The United States will hold aloof
from any action that might in any
way be interpreted as a recognition
of the Bolshevik regime.
But for the eNigency of the po-
litirAl Sifnlfinn in he
States and the imminence of the
Presidential election, Washington
diplomats would expect the United
States government to take the ini-
tiative in disavowal of the Polish
Soviet peace terms. They constf-
tute a fragrant disregard of the ad-
monition addressed to the Polish
government by Secretary Colby on
August 81. Colby warned Poland in
plain terms that America would
view with deepest disfayor any
steps on her part. taken in the
flush of victory that represented
invasion of the territorial rights OF
old Russia The Poles, in replying,
did not categorically commit them
selves to a pledge to respect the
Curzon, or supreme council. boun-
dairy. The preliminary peace laid
down at Riga demonstrates that the
Poles intend to follow their own
counsels.

WARNS CHURCH
AGAINST TREND

w. J. Bryan Tells Church
Audience American Minds
Are Becoming Poisoned.
SCIENCE IN DISGUISE
Declares He Would Rather
Discuss Religion Than
Politics.

Deploring the trend toward agnos-
ticism and skepticism in the teach
inss of American universities, Will
lam Jennings Bryan last night. told
the second annual convention of the
Christian Young People of Wash
ington that the church should pro-
test against the poisoning of the
minds of young America with athe-
ism taught under the gulse of phil
osophy and science.
''The Christian men and women of
this land should see to it," Bryan
declared, that educations of higher
learning in this country do not ig-
more the teachings of Jesus Christ.
Likes to Talk Religion.
There is too much talk of the
narrowing Influence of Christianity,
and not enough emphasis laid on
the abundance of life promised by
the Apostle Paul as the sequel to
the following of the teachings of
Christ"
Bryan said that he would rather
discuss religion than politics. IN
talking on politics" he said, unless
I convert the majority Of my audi
tors to my opinions I feel that my
speech has been a failure. On the
other hand, in talking on religion,
If reach. but one human heart and
burn intoft the conviction that there
is but one truth and that the doc
trine taught by the Master, 1 feel
that I have accomplished my pur-
pose"
International Matters.
Bryan said that running for office
had never been his real end in life.
Instead" he said, 1T has rather in
terfered with my purpose which has
been to do all that l can to make
the world better for having lived
in it."
I'VE must remember" he pointed
out, that after all it is not the body.
nor the mind, but the soul of a man
or a woman that counts. In my day
j have studied politics. philosophy,
and a great deal of history. In, a
short time 1 expect to leave them all
here. As for what Heaven will be
like, that question has never troubled
me. am confident that 1 can trust
in the provisions made for the here
after by a God who has made a
world as good as this one"
Bryan declared that he intended
to devote the rest of his life to the
study of international questions. 81
like to be near Washington" he de-
clared, ''as desire to keep in touch
with national questions, but above
all, I am interested in international
matters"

A new and powerful federation

the Volga, and all the territory now
held by Gen. wrangel will be organ
lied into the United States of Rus
sia will shortly be announced. It
was learned officially yesterday.
The territory thus embraced in
cludes approximately three-sevenths
of all the population of European
Russia.
The first president of the new re-
public, 1t is expected here, will be
Gen. ,Wrangel, who proposes. imme-
diately the military forces of the
various states are combined. to
make a general attack upon the
Soviets. For this purpose he will
have an ensemble of $4,000 troops,
the most formidable army ever mo-
bilized to combat Lenine and Trot-
sky. Gen. wrangel will also have
the active cooperation of Gen.
Seminon, now in command of a
large force in Siberia.
America Takes Notice.
So intense is the interest of the
United States in Gen. Wrangers
move that it sent Admiral Newton
a. McCully and Col. w. A. Castle
to the front. They have just re-
turned to Constantinople.
The political result of the pro-
posed new federation, it was ex-
planned in official circles, will be the
practical restoration of the Kerensky
government under a more popular
name. That government, which is
still officially represented by an
ambassador, Boris Bakhmetea, in
Washington is the only one in Rus

Lenine and Trotsky government is
believed to be on the verge of
collapse. saasz, ~ ~
Russ Forces Shattered. -
Information received by this gov
erDment stated that the Russian
army recently defeated by the Poles
is refusing to fight against Gen.
Wrangel. The entire Soviet forces
are said to be rapidly disintegrating
and the next few weeks, 1t was pre-
dicted, will witness the most impor-
tant developments in Moscow.
1t was strongly indicated in Off
cial circles that the United States
will morally support, If it does not
actually recognize the United States
of Russia. 1t will insist, however,
that the new government do its ut
most to obtain control of as much
as possible of the old Russian en-
pire, which the administration has
announced must not be permitted to
disintegrate.
That all the great powers are ac-
lively supporting the proposed new
movement is made clear by the fact
that within the past few days the
entire allied diplomatic corps in
Pekin has compelled China to re-
store Prince Kudacheff, the Keren-
sky ambassador, to full power as
the official representative of Russia.

DOING GREAT ROADWORk

No doubt all of the highway patrol
men in this section have done much
tc hurry Up the work of conditioning
the roads, and that all should receive
mention. An appreciative person who
lives along the highway patrolled by
Milton Savage has come to this paper
for the purpose of giving Mr.. Savage
public credit and word of apprecia-
ton for his work, especially that done
during the past three weeks.
Mr.. Savage got out on the job at
the very earliest opportunity this
Spring. He has put in already near
ly a month of solid work on his
section of the River Falls-Hudson
road. 1t has been a difficult task to
work in the mud and to get material,
and one which required lots of clever
planning.
But it has paid well. The stretch
was open for heavy traffic long be-
fore it would have been without this
work, and besides this, Mr.. Savage's
grading and filling here and there has
saved a big wash-out repair bill.
Our informant states that only those
who have had experience along this
road in the early spring under the
old system can really appreciate the
splendid improvement of the present

MIR. Baker is business man. He be-
lieyes that it is high time that the
business men of the nation--the bus
mess men on the farms as we'll as the
business men in the cities mad villages
take more active interest in the
affairs of government, local, county,
state and national; that the time has
arrived when they must devote more
of their time and attention, and more
of themselves, to governmental mat
tiers. That means that business men
must $50 into politics" not as poll
ticians, nor h;de-bound partisans, but
as business men.
The great problems before the peo-
pie today are business problems hav-
ing to do with the conduct of the big
gest business on earth, e., the Gov
eminent of the United States.
The crying need of our government
today is the adoption of business
methods in the conduct of govern
mental affairs. Therefore, Mr.. Bak-
err hopes to be elected delegate to
the Chicago convention for the sole
purpose of lending his best efforts
toward putting the affairs of the gov
eminent upon business basis.
Mr., Baker is successful business
man. He has been banker in New
Richmond for more than score OF
wears, directing the affairs of the
Manufacturers Bank that has for
generation been an active factor in
agricultural development and COM
munity betterment. Mr.. Baker is
native of Wisconsin and has always
lived in Wisconsin. He is lifelong
republican. He can and will repre-
sent the Tenth Congressional District
in the Chicago Convention as it should
be represented.
He is not politician. His is not
fractional candidacy. Mr.. Baker de-
sires to go to the Chicago Convention
UNRESTRICTED in order that he
may act, unhampered, for the best
interests of the people at home as well
as the country at large. He wants
to do his level best towards redeem
ing Wisconsin from the odium that
has been cast upon the state by those
who have misrepresented the state
and brot discredit upon its people. He
stands for America First and for the
thoro and complete AUGMENTATION
