The latest Of twentieth century
newspaper methods was employed TO

Offering to Poland-an interview by

CLAIM FREEDOM OF ACTION.
NJ. Tchitcherin declared that the
Soviet would claim absolute freedom
OF action in the Orient until a gen.
eral peace treaty is concluded with
Great Britain.
The Soviet foreign minister gave
the erst official denial of reports that
the ted army is out of hand and that
the generals on the Polish front are
defying the orders of the civilian
m memsers 'srs rssrre-Soviet He gave a
detailed account OF how the military
campaign against Poland is being
waged.
In reply to numerous questions sent
from Berlin to Moscow by wireless,
NJ. Tchitcherin gave the following
long reply:
Soviet Russia has not the least
intention of annihilating Poland
Russia desires only guarantees
against new attacks by the Polish
army.
MUST REDUCE ARMY.
1--WE demand the reduction OF the
Polish army to 10000 men. but at the
same time Polands own workers will
be organized and the members of the
trade unions will be armed to insure
tranquility. This body of militia,
composed of armed Polish workmen
will act as counterpoise to the
imperialistic Polish landlords.
Thus the Soviet government seeks
the best guarantee in arming the Pol
ish workers and trusting them TO
establish the bulwark of peace.
This is quite a new idea in inter-
national affairs. We have studied the
question thoroughly and we believe
that the Polish people are deserving
of the greatest attention.
Russia stands ready to withdraw
her army from Poland and the polish
The Washington times., 1920-08-14

frontier where only 100000 will be
left.
Instead OF Russian occupation. the
Soviet government relies entirely
upon the arming OF Polish workers
and allowing them to maintain peace
Poland will retain sufficient arms
and war materials to supply this
army Of workmen.
Russia will insist that Poland
grant free land to the families of
Polish citizens who were killed or
wounded in the war or had any con-
nection with the war. ILL.,
These are the principal points
from which you will see the new era
beginning.r>
CALLS QUESTION ABSURD.
One OF the questions .wirelessed to
Moscow referred TO reports that the
Soviet could not stop the advance OF
the Russian army on Warsaw even II
IL desired NJ. Tchitcherin thus an
swered this query:
"Your supposition about the Rus
sian generals superseding the Soviet
is truly absurd. Neither General
Brusiloff nor General Kuropatkin
controls the Russian army. They
merely sit upon a military advisory
board.
The com manuer-ln -Cnltl u 'hS
Soviet army is General Kamenef HIS
chief of staff is General Letheteff.
The commander on the western Pol-
ish) front is General Tukatchemsi, a
very good young communist officer.
SOVIET CONTROL ARMY.
The supreme military control is in
the hands OF revolutionary military
committee at the front. The red
army is completely in the service OF
the Soviet government, and Is con-
trolled by the Soviet government"
AS to Great Britain NJ. Tchitcherin
said.
Until general agreement is
reached with Great Britain the Soviet
government has an absolutely free
hand in the Orient. Limitations can
be decided upon only by a treaty or
some other such agreement. | can
give assurances that such limitations
will be rigidly observed"

BOSTON, Aug. 14.-With Charles
Ponzi locked up in East Cambridge
jail, today officials turned their at
tention to hunt for concealed as
sets.
Federal Auditor Pride declared that
large sums of money. alleged to have
been put in Mrs. Ponzis name, will
be recovered from. banks, and that
probably other sums held in agents
names will be retrieved.
News of her husbands arrest is
being kept from Mrs. Ponzi, who ex-
poets to become mother soon. She
believes her husband is out of the
city on a business trip.
Also locked up in jail is Charles
NJ Brightwell, formerly of Los Ange-
les, and three other officials of the
Old Colony Foreign Exchange Com
pany, a Ponzi rival. The remainder
of this company's chain of branches
throughout New England were being
closed today. An investigation was
under way to determine it's liabilities.

lagher's effort to have Auditor Pride
sexamine the books of the Hanover
down with Ponzi, has been halted by
State Bank Commissioner Allen. As
a result Gallagher states he will is
sue a summons for the bank commits
sioner TO appear before the Federal
grand jury with the banks papers and
books
Many persons who realized so per
cent on the money invested in Ponzis
"get-rich quick" scheme have begun
to turn back their profits to State At
torney General Allen. They are actu-
ated by desire to help the thousands
who staked their all on PonZi and now
face financial ruin.
with Ponz's liabilities now esti-
mated at $1,000 900, the rush of note
holders to the State house grows.
Officials have found that some in
vestors beat Ponzi by raising the
amount on the notes. Ponzi says he
knows that many notes were raised
from 500 to $1,000.
A special session of the grand jury
probably will be called to handle the
Ponzi and Old Colony cases.
