10000 Reds Trapped.
To the north the Polish cavalry,
in a rapid advance, cut. of 10000
Red troops operating on the west
Of the Warsaw Dantzig Railroad
near Mlawa. This stroke insures
communication between Poland and
Dantzig. Polish airmen report that
the Reds are in hopeless confusion
trying to get out of the trap. They
will have to escape through a bottle
neck to the south of MIawa, if at
all The Poles feel sure they are
as good as captured.
To the southeast the Polish coun-
ter offensive has reached Novo-
minsk, kaIuchin and Lukow. This
move threatens the flank of the Red
divisions that have been operating
against Radzymin and also that
part of the Red army that is direct
ly east of Warsaw. If the Polish
spearhead goes out much farther it
will force a precipitate flight of the
Russians.
Peasants Uninterested.
An eyewitness reports that the

not been characterized by looting,
the amaging Of property, or the
molesting Of the civilian inhabit-
ants. IN one instance where a wind

every means to block reconsidera-

the ratification of the Nineteenth
amendment and attempts Of anti
suffragists to throw legal obstacles
in the way Of complete enfranchise-

Tennessee legislature in passing the
resolution by a vote Of
nifty to forty-six was generally re-

note on Poland. Russia and bolshev-

lay, by the State Department last
night. AS already foreshadowed by
semi official summaries cabled from
Paris, the French government, in
suave and knightly language, asso-

United States demand for Polish in

promising hostility to the bolshev-

France AYERS that it is because

of the principles formulated by the
United States that the Wrangel
government has received French
recognition. Wrangel's regime in
South Russia is described as "a
Russian government which declares
that it accepts the same principles"
The implied French invitation to
America to join in recognizing

Berlin, Aug. 1S.- In a street bat
tie in Kattowitz, between the SOL
diers of the French army of occu-
patton and the German and Polish
civilians, twenty Germans and Poles
and nine French were killed. DR..
Milewski, one of the chief Polish
leaders, was beaten to death and
his body thrown into the river. The
German dead include Maj. Won
Kleist, commander of the Sicher-
heitswehr.
These reports were received at
the German foreign office at noon
today from the plebiscite area of
Silesia, which is practically a mo
mans land" 1t was cut off from
Germany by the treaty of YER
salles and is occupied by French
troops for the league OF nations.
The country which is finally to rule
the region will not be determined
until a vote is taken by the in
habitants.
Hand Grenades Used.
The French used machine guns
and hand grenades in firing into
the mob, the reports stated.
This incident, following closely
upon the alleged ruthlessness
charged against the French mill
tary in the Sarre Valley and al
legged new cases of outrages on
German women and girls by the
French black troops, have resulted
in a wave of hatred against the
French which is sweeping Germany.
The government today expressed
itself as greatly disquieted. Never
at any time during the war was
the hatred of the French SO unani-
nous, so bitter and at so high a
pitch as it is today

At the foreign office fear was ex-
pressed that Upper Silesia in its
desperation and in it's hatred Of
the French would join the Bolshe-
visits, creating a most serious sit
uation for Germany. 1t is believed
that if this occurred the French
would Immediately seize the Ruhr
