READY
To HIT BACK
AT ENEMIES
Plan Mighty Counterstroke
as They Fight With Backs
to the Wall for Warsaw's
Defense.
WRANGEL RECOGNIZED
(By Associated Press)

WARSAW, Aug. 10-A concentra
ton and re-grouping Of the Polish
forces for an extensive counterstroke
on the entire Warsaw front is reported
by today's newspapers.
The plans are, 1t Is said, to begin
this counter move within a few days.
Military men express the opinion that
this is propitious time to strike back
in an effort to drive off the soviet
forces which are endeavoring to en-.
circle the capital.
Although Polish forces have aban.
doned the town Of Ostrolenka, they
continue to occupy positions between
the Narew and Bug rivers, and are
sufficiently strong to defend Warsaw
in that direction.
The evacuation of Ostrolenka, how
ever, involves a re-grouping of the
Polish forces along the middle reaches
of the Bug river, where they are re-
treating toward the river Liwisc, east
Of Warsaw. Along this stream the
Poles have fortified positions which
extend along line more than 80
miles from Warsaw.
Soviet Cavalry Is Weak
Soviet cavalry involved in the op.
Grafton north of the Narew river is
authoritatively reported not to be
strong enough to attempt to force a
passage to the Vistula or to even SER
iously threaten the Thorn region.
The swinging movement to the
north Of this city apparently planned
to outflank the defenses of Warsaw
and force the Poles to withdraw
across the Vistula, is the greatest
maneuver undertaken as yet by the
Bolsheviki.
1t is supposed to be under the lead
ership of General Toucacheski After
crossing the Danzig railway the SOW
let cavalry is reported to have turned
southwark, being closely followed by
infantry, which has marched close
along the Prussian frontier.
PARIS, Aug. 1.-THE French gov
ernment has decided to recognize Cen
eral Baron Peter Wrangel as head of
the de facto government of South
Russia
In making this announcement the
ministry of foreign affairs said this
recognition implied rendering General
Wrangel all possible military assist
ance.
The Russians now are occupying a
stretch of "a miles of the direct rail-
way line between Warsaw and DAN
zig and large force is pushing across
the Danzig corridor to cut the remain
ing railroad, according to the French
foreign office today.
The section of the main line held
by the Russians is between Ciecha-
now and Mlawa.
COPENHAGEN, Aug. IA repre-
sentative of the Russian soviet gov
ernment waited in vain at the front
for the Polish armistice delegation on
the evening of Aug. 9, but neither the
delegation nor any message from
Warsaw arrived, according to Maxim
Litvinoss. the soviet representative
here.

POLAND ASKS FOR
SUCC0R FROM j, s.,
ALLIES GET NOTES
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. II. -
Poland will ask immediate aid OF the
United States in its fight against the
Russian Boishevikf, Command Count
Casimir Lubomirski, the Polish minis
ter, announced today.
The appeal to the state department,
the minister said, will be based upon
assurances contained in the American
note to Italy, that the United States
will insist upon maintenance Of the
political independence and territorial
integrity of Poland.
The aid requested, it was said, prob
ably will be confined to a request for
an extension of credits by the United
States for the purchase of surplus
war.
Permission to purchase 100000
army uniforms and 100000 pairs of
shoes from war department stocks al
ready has been granted by the Polish
legation.
Great Britain, France and the other
allied and associated powers have been
given copies of the American govern
ment's note to Italy announcing the
policy of the United States in favor
of the preservation of the territorial
integrity not alone of Poland but of
Russia as well.
At the same time means are being
found, it was stated today, officially,
for the note to reach the Russian
people themselves.
Whether there will be further ex.
changes between America and the
allies will depend, it was said, on
events in Poland.
AS the American government has
made clear its views, any further
movement would be expected to be on
the initiative Of the European govern.
mentS.
Consistent with Policy
The position taken by the United
States against recognition of the in
dependent Baltic states and the repub-
lies Georgia and Azerbaidjan, was said
in administrative circles to be con-
sistent with her policy.
This view, however, was not sup
ported in other circles and particularly
by the representatives of those repub-
lies. Former Representative Walter
NJ Chambers, of New York. legal and
political representative of those ma
tions, issued in their behalf a state
ment in which he declared that the
friends of the freedom Of struggling
republics would be surprised and dis
appointed by Secretary Colby's note.

Goody, Kids! School Is
POSTPONED One More Day

One more day Of grace has been
granted the school population Of Rich
mond. by J. H. Bentley, school sup
erintendent. He announced Wednes-
day that the first session of the
1920-21 term would be held Tuesday,
Sept Z, instead of labor day.
The fact that local factories and
stores will be closed and also that the
Chautauqua would end on Labor Day,
is belived to have caused the change
in date.
Bentley also announced Wednesday
that the Richmond school board has
not made any change in its decision
for a 10 month school term.

P0NzI ADMITS JAIL
Term IN CANADA; HIS
BANK IS SHUT DOWN

BOSTON, Mass, Aug. 11.-Charles
Ponzi personally admitted today that
he was the Charles Ponsi who served
term in the penitentiary in Montreal.
Reports from Montreal circulated
here were to the effect that Ponzi
under the name Of Ponsi had operated
financial plan promising large re-
turns in Montreal 13 years ago. At
tention was called to the records Of
a penitentiary in that city which were
said to show that a man known as
Charles Ponsi had served brief
term there.
Denies knowledge Of Man
Early today Ponzi denied any knowl-
edge Of the Montreal reports. Later
he refused himself to newspaper men.
His house telephone thereafter was
answered by man who claimed to
represent Ponzi and who said that
something might be given out later
in the day.
Subsequently he said that Ponzi ad-
mitted that he was the man who had
been known in Montreal
He added that Ponzi had left his
home to confer with one of his at
torneys, Daniel F. McIsaac, at the
latter's office in Boston.
Says Bank Is "Unsafe."
Bank Commissioner Allen today
took charge Of the Hanover Trust
company. This is the institution in
which the account Of Ponzi was shown
recently to have been overdrawn.
Mr.. Allen said that the agents had
been examining the bank since last
Saturday morning and the reports in
dicated that 1t had been doing busi-
ness in an unsafe manner and that it
would be unsafe for 1t to continue.
The doors closed at 1:45 p. m.
Tells Part of "Secret"
Ponzi told members OF the Kiwanis
club Tuesday some of the steps in the
process by which he claims to have
amassed his fortune.
II found out" he said, that the
postal coupons were being sold in
foreign countries for the equivalent
of six cents and could be converted
into postage stamps. Then all I had
to do was to figure out how many
nickles made a million.
II got in touch with men-that's 8
as far as Ill gowho were able to
secure for me large amounts of cou-
pons in different countries. They
bought them with our money and used
them as collateral to be redeemed
later.

lice, it appears that Charles Ponzi

Soviet Capitalizes Victories
The soviet leaders are capitalizing
their victories to the utmost. They
are instilling into the minds of the
people that the Red forces have de-
feated the worlds armies seeking to
enslave Russia and set up another
form Of tsarist government.
They are urging upon them that the
tragic sufferings and sacrifices will
firmly establish national security and
spread the cause Of social revolution
throughout all lands.
In some cases along the eastern
frontier these pleas fall upon the un-
willing ears of the peasant pioneer
who looked upon the former czar as
his little father" incapable Of wrong
doing, and who believes still that all
Russias troubles began with the
downfall Of Nicholas.
