Just as Dempseys conviction to good many will
seem to be persecution his acquitta to great many

ALL THE PRESIDENT CAN d.

OF His Power Without Authority
From Congress, but Additional
Help for Poles Is Planned.
IBy Universal Service. I

WASHINGTON, August 16.-The
State Department took It's first step
in aid OF Poland under the Colby note
today. when 1t ordered the Navy De-
partmcnt to dispatch three warships
TO the Baltic.
Secretary Daniels Immediately aa-
nounced that he had directed tn.
cruiser Pittsburgh, and some destroy
ers, now Mt Cherbourg, to star. at
once. 1t is understood these vessels
Will rendezvous on Danzig with thc
British and French squadrons.
The American commander Is un-
derstood officially to be acting inde-
pendcntly. The only explanation OF
this spectacular move given by the
government is that "an American
squadron Is going to observe condi-
!. tions In Poland"
1t was pointed out by ofiin.sts 10
night that the dispatch of tho war
ships was tho most drastic step TIN:
of Congress. Tho executive is am
powered to call upon the navy, and
to land marines, whenever Amerl-
can interests arc inperiled.
Both army and navy officials do
clared that the fall of Warsaw. whith
is imminent, will be followed by an
advance OF the Soviet army up the
Polish corridor for the purpose OF
selling Danzig.
1t will require too long to send
ships from America. Therefore these
nearest the scene were chosen.
Further aid OF Poland by the United
States was indicated by the State De-
partment today. 1t was explained
that events were changing SO rapidly
that the government might be COM
PEELED to adopt different methods from
those already decided upon.
The form OF aid" 1t was stated
would depend upon future events"
Administration officials were both
puzzled and alarmed over the frank
statement in Parliament by Premier
Lloyd George today that England had
warned General Wrangel that IL ne
attacked the Soviet in Southern Rus
sia. it would be ION his own respon-
sibility"
Opinion was expressed that Il was
prcmeditated and direct blow
against France, who has been urg-
Ing Wrangel to attack.
Also it was taken to indicate the
Wilderness of the breach that now sep
aratcs the two countries, ana is a
severe criticism OF the policy of the
United States
IL Danzig is taken by the Soviet,
American. French and British ma
rines will undoubtedly be landed, as
each of these nations will be Obliged
