VICTORY FOR SOVIET RUSSIA
 WOULD SWEEP ENTIRE WORLD

Washington, July 27.(-By The A. P) Victory for Soviet Russia over Poland would result in bolshevism sweeping all of Europe and eventually the entire world in the opinion of General Eric Luden- dorff, the famous German war leader. His views are set forth in a specially pre- pared and hitherto unpublished memo randum on the Dangers of Bolshev:snl' written last month and received here to- day in official circles.
 "Poland's fall will entail the fall of Germany and Czecho-Slovakia." General Ludendorff says. Their neighbors to the along without elementary force. Let no one believe it will come to stand with out enveloping Italy, France and Eng land in it's hideous coils No even the Seven Seas can stop it."
 Addressing himself to the civilized na- tions, as a man who knows war" Gen. eral Ludendorf pleads that his Message not fall on deaf ears.
 Then it will be too late" he declares, and the present civilization will crum- ble as did that of Greece and Rome And the cause will be the obtuseneSs of gov ernment and the lethargy of the bour- geoise, and the latter always and every where likes to stay quietly at home on days of decisive events.
 'eBolshevism is a monster that must advance to exist It is advancing now and in a gradual progress from east to west and is crushing everything between the midland sea and the Atlantic ocean.
 "The bolshevist enterprises encounter resistance east of Lake Baikal on the part of Japan and General Semenoff The tenacity and the superior shrewdness of the Japanese makes it probable that tte bolshevists will meet with reverses in that quarter However, the bolshevists have the inner line in the direction nf India and Persit no less than in Europe Japans turn will be later"

Northampton, Mass, July 27.-Res- cue from the reactions of war was de- scrlped as the transcendent need of the nation in the address which Gov. coolidge delivered here today in ac- ceptlng formally the republican nom lhatlon for vice president. "The chief task that lies before us," he said, lis 10 fepossess the people of their gov ernment and their property"
 Gov. Coolidge found another source or graVest public concern to be the feactlonary tendency to substitute private will for the public will" He said there had been a disposition on the part of some individuals and of groups to inquire whether they liked the law and if not to disregard it and prevent It's execution by the method of direct action. The observance of the law" ne said, lis the greatest solvent of pub lle ills" He deplored attempts to ere ate class distinction.
 Discussing economic relations. Gov Coolidge declared the extrayagant standards of government expenditure pred~of recent years must be eliminat- ed and revision of taxation be ac- companied by reduction of private extravaganza. He urged a different pupllc atGtude toward industry a larger comprehension, of the interde- pendence of capital management and labor and better facilities for the prompt and reasonable adjustment of industrial disputes. The need of the farmers, he said, is an enlarged power Of organization whereby the original producer may profit to larger de- gree by the high prices paid for his produce by the ultimate consumer and at the same time decrease the cost of food.
 The proposed League of Nations without reservations as submitted by the President to the Senate met with deserved opposition from republican senator's" said Gov. Coolidge. Our party by the record of its members in the senate and by the solemn declara- tion of it's platform, by performance and by promise approves the principle of agreement among nations to pre- serve peace and pledges itself to the making of such an agreement, preserv- ing American independence and rights, as will meet every duty America owes to humanity"

Resolute. having her wind free. held of shore and kept clear of Shamrock there after. Shamrock was evidently heading for better draft of air under the Jersey shore. but she failed to find it, while Resolute picked up a favorable slant off shore. Still an hour after the start Shamrock was we'll in the lead and seemed able to head couple of points nearer the wind.
 Everything seemed to be going unusu- ally well for the green boat and hopes ran high on the yacht Victoria, carrying Sir Thomas Lipton.
 ResOlute Forges Ahead.
 Then Resolute began to pick up her heels and fore reach her opponent. Adams tackled twice before he succeeded in get ting across Shamrock's bow, but he final ly landed, and after that the race, as be- tween the two boats. was over. Both held well off shore and finally tackled for the mark with about three hours to finish the race.
 Resolute's lead at the outer mark of four minutes and eight seconds in elapsed time seemed to assure her of the race provided the wind held which didn't seem possible.
 Resolute had her balloon jibN drawing within thirty seconds after rounding while Shamrock was more than two min utes getting out h rebig kite. Resolute headed straight for the finish, but Sham rock immediately went on the opposite tack and started inshore on beat to lee ward. Resolute held on and then followed suit.
 For the next two hours the two boats hauled across from one side of the course to the other although mostly keeping near the Jersey shore. The wind was un- rertain in strength dropping at times to mere zephyr and then speeding up to five rsiX knots. Resolute at one time had lead of more than two miles when she ran into the doldrums and had scarcely steer age way. Shamrock in the meantime closing up the gap.
 All the while the time was running out and the margin in which to finish was drawing very close. The sun went down behind the Highlands a big red ball and still the yachts were miles from the fin ish Resolute hung to her bellooner, while Shamrock set big spinnaker on one last futile effort to win. Resolute kept tack ing back and forth before the wind and finally headed for the line on the port tack which carried her across amid feeble chorus of whistles from the small tst effet that has seen the finish of final race for the Americas cup in third of a century. Shamrock doused her spinnaker :, mile from the line and also reached for it on the port tack, crossing ten minutes before sunset.
