League of Nations is Condemned by
 Senator Lodge

Boston, Aug. 28.-The, League of Nations was condemned by Senator Lodge in an address at massmeet- ing of the republican league of Mas sachusetts, at Braves field today. "The league, which has got all mem- bers in it but one,' he said, "has been an absolute and total failure. It hasn't accomplished anything"
 "It may be impossible to ratify with reservations. It may be unde- sirable to do so, it may be neces- sary to enlarge and strengthen the reservation, or it may be best to put aside this ill-drawn, ill-conceived league and to take up under the auspices of the United States new agreement association or league com posed of all the nations of the earth under the leadership of the United States. ', That is solution which comments itself, I believe, to Sen ator Harding"

BRITISH STEAMSHIP
 LINES WIN VICTORY OVER L0NGSH0REMEN
Hundreds Who Walked Out Returned to Their
 Work

New York, Aug. 28.-British steam. ship lines apparently won a victory today over the 2,OOO or more long shoremen who yesterday sought to tie up vessels flying the British flag by going out ou a sudden strike which they declared would continue until Archbishop Mannix is allowed on Irish soil and Terence MacSwee- ney, lord mayor of Cork, is released from prison. All but one of the big British liners scheduled to sail to- day made their departure and the ex- ception, the Cunard liner Pannonia, will leave tomorrow morning) of- ficials announce.
 Most of. the firemen on the Pan nonia walked out in sympathy with the strikers and the Cunard line could not readily replace them. The crews of other vessels remained vir- tually intact.
 Hundreds of longshoremen who quit work yesteraday returned to their labors on the docks today with the encouragement of union officials who announced they deeply regreet- ed the unexpected walk-out, coming just before new wage demands are to be presented.
 At the White Star line docks, where the strike had it's inception, no longshoremen reported and there was little activity in the holds of the vessels scheduled to depart next week.
 Most of the ships were late in get ting away today, the loading of bag gage in some cases being done by the office force of the steamship line, with anxious passengers occasionally lending a hand.

NEFF HAS LARGE
 LEAD OVER BAILEY
 ON EARLY RETURNS
Waco Man Leads Former Senator by 56,00O
 Votes

Dallas, Texas, Aug. 2s.-Pat M. Neff of Waco led Joseph Weldon Bailey of Gainesville, former Uni ted States senator from Texas, by 56,170 votes in the contest for the gubernatori nomination in today's democratic run off primary, accord ing to compilation of 2s6,234 votes from 1856 counties, announced at II o'clock by the Texas Election Bu- reau. On the face of these partial incomplete returns the Dallas Morning News announced MT. Neff's nomination by "a large majority"
 The Texas Election Bureau esti- mated that the vote in today's pri- mary would fall several thousand short of the July primary, when MT. Bailey led Neff by 2,522 votes, and would be between 425,OOO and 475,- 900 votes.
 Bad weather over most of Texas and the absence from the primary of local contests were regarded as chief reasons for the predicted falling off in the vote as compared with the July primary. The threatening weather also held down the women's s voting.
 In the contest for the nomination for lieutenant governor, Lynch Da- vidson of Houston had 82,191 votes and w. A. Johnson, incumbent, had 71,665 votes, according to the cleo tion bureaus II o'clock bulletin.
 For the nomination for associate justice of the supreme court, the only other state contest on the tick ct, William Pierson of Greenville htd SHAFT votes and William E Hawkins, incumbent, had 67,339 These latter figures were based on partial, incomplete returns from 10s counties.

 nations

London, Aug. 28.-The condition of Terence MaoSweeney, lord mayor of Cork, this morning was reported to be worse at the Brixton- jail where he is : on a hunger strike. Mayor MasSweeney spent very restless night.
 Redmond Howard, who has several times communicated with the king in behalf of the lord mayor, today telegraphed the queen aat Balmaral, asserting that one of MacSweeney's lungs is affected and begging her in : tervention.
 The mayors wife and his sister, Mary MacSweeney, visited him today.
 The latter contradicted the re- port that the prison doctor was ad- ministering proteids to the mayor in drinking water. She added, re- specting the proteid report:
 q told the doctor that nothing of that sort should be done and that it was absolutely agains the wishes of his friends and also that if the government wished to release my brother, it should be done before the eleventh hour. The government should either release him or let him die. It would not be fair to leave him lingering in pain"
 Cork, Aug. 28.-Today was the nineteenth day of the hunger strike by dozen sim Fein prisoners in the city jail and their condition was said to be extremely grave.
 Relatives have gathered daily out side the prison to vent their grief but have not advised the prisoners to abandon their strike. The strik- CTS themselves appear determined as was evidenced by their refusal yesterday to take water because they believed food substance had been ad- ded to it.
 Two London specialists arrived at the prison today, it was said, by order of the home office.
 Belfast, Aug. 28.-The military fired on rioters here again tonight, killing at least one and wounding six others, one of them seriously. The troops fired in an effort to protect the police station, which was at tackled by mob. Disturbances were reported in several sections of the city.
 When the soldiers arrived at the police station in an armoured car, they were met with volley of stones The police and military dispersed the mob. Many individual attacks were reported.
 The rioter killed tonight was John Lynch, aged 16.
 London, Aug. 2s.-A dispatch to the Evening News from Cork says that John and Bartholomew Buckley, brothers, were arrested near that city recently by the military, roped back to back and placed in a military lorry.
 During the ensuing journey John Buckley was killed by a revolver shot through the heart, the bullet passing on and lodging in his bro ther's shoulder. The dispatch states that the report of the incident handed to the parents of the victoms read as follows:
 "Your son, John, in trying to es- cape from military custody today while on his way to Cork, was shot. He died from his wound. Bartholo- new also was wounded in the shoulder"

 Their Attack Near
 LOnZa

Warsaw, Aug. 2s.-Prnce Sapieha, the Polish foreign minister, left here this afternoon for Brest-Litovsk, where on Sunday he will confer with M. Dombski, head of the Polish del egation at Minsk. Word reached the foreign office today that M. Dombski had passed through bolsheviki lines and had been received by the Poles. Prince Sapieha and M. Dombski were both expected to reach Brest-Litovsk late tonight.
 According to word reaching War saw, the Polish delegates at Minsk arc virtually prisoners and are looked upon as spies. In addition to not get ting enough to eat, it is declared that the food they receive does not suit their taste. However, their chief com. plaint is the lack of communication. The Brest-Litovsk conference will have to do with the progress of the Minsk negotiations of which Warsaw professes to have no knowledge owing to the difficulties of communication.
 Berlin, Aug. 28.-A dispatch to Die Post from it's Koenigsberg correspon- dent says that the bolsheviki have un- expectedly resumed attacking. The correspondent says new detachments of the Petrograd guards are advancing on LomZa.
 He states that General Budenny, bolsheviki cavalry commander, is still in active command.
 Warsaw, Aug. 28.-Polish artillery has decimated the principal column of rtereating soviet forces on the northeastern front, catching the bol- sheviki at short range, according to an offiical statement issued here. More than 600 men, including two general staff officers and eleven line officers have been captured. Among the kill ed was the commander of the 57th bolsheviki division and his chief of staff.
 Detachments of the Polish third di- vision which are fighting east of the Bug river near Brest-Litovsk have become engaged in an energetic de- fensive actin in anticipation of so- viet attack against that city.
 Repeated bolsheviki attacks in tho region of Lembers have been repuls- ed but fighting continues in the vicin. ity of Dzielween as we'll as along the Bobrika and Swirz rivers. The situa- tion on the northern front is without change, the statement says.
