porarily occupying the Poltusk, Ka-

Half of the foreign missions and
consulates are leaving on a special
train, which Will also carry S35, 900, 900
in securities from the banks. The
hotels are deserted. The governor has
exhorted the city to remain calm.

WARSAW. Aug. 9.-Ostrolenka, on
the Narew river, northeast of War
saw, ha sheen captured by the Boil
sheviki after a two days fight.
The Bolsheviki now have reache ed
point forty-five miles northeast of
Warsaw.
The heaviest fighting since the Boil
sheviki began their offensive a month
ago is now developing along the Bug
river where both sides are throwing
in all the forces at their command.
Towns and point sof vantage are
changing hands daily. but the Polish
official communication interprets the
battle as successful for the Poles.
Terespol finally has been retaiken
by the Poles. 1t has changed hands
several times. South OF Brest-Litovsk.
where the Poles drove the Reds across
the Bug, the Poles have taken Mok-
ran.
Thousands of men are working on
Warsaw's defenses on the east bank
of the Vistula, the great semi-circle
taking in the fortified towns of Novo
Georgievsk, Modlin, Segev, Eledce
and Ivangorod.
The task of repairing warsaw 8

has ceased.
There are two other bridges over
the Vistula- One of these Is used
exclusively by the railroads. The
other. which takes care of vehicular
traffic, was crowded to-day with
peasants coming in from the east.
They were on foot, dragging or
pushing cars or leading horses pull
ing wagons of every description,
piled high with household goods.
Praga, suburb on the east bank
of the Vistula, was filled with
refugees, and lines OF vehicles reach

measures and the possibility of a more
drastic blockade OF Soviet Russia.
Rejection by Moscow OF Great
Britains proposal for ten-day truce
on the Polish battle front to discuss
armistice terms and peace prelimin-
aries has precipitated a critical situ~
alton and proved a severe set back to
Premier Lloyd Georges peace efforts
No effort is made in official circles
to disguise the menace in the Polish
situation but hope is still held out
that the Polish and Russian dele
gates may reach an agreement at
Minsk during the conference which Is
prepared for Wednesday.
The continuation OF the conference
from Sunday has made IL necessary
for Premier Lloyd George to postpone
his promised announcement in the
t-ouse OF Commons this afternoon on
the Russo Polish situation.
WILL IMPOSE BLOCKADE
The conference was resumed at
10 80 o'clock at the home of Sir Phil
ip Sasson. at Lympne, on the out
skirts OF Hythe. 1t was admitted
when the meeting began that the al
lies are prepared to impose a strong
blockade on Russia to isolate her
from the outside world unless Mos
COW Immediately agrees to halt the
Russian advance upon Warsaw.
Members of the French delegation
said that business in hand would be
r. lsa mad IN tnAav that PFemip r
Millerand would depart for Paris at
o'clock this afternoon.
There was report in circulation
that a member Of the Bolshevik trade
mission might arrive from London to
meet the premiers but it was not con-
firmed and was generally doubted.
Premier Millerand flatly announced
that he would not meet any of the
Russian trade delegates who came to
England with Mr.. Krassin. There
were strong indications, however.
that Premier Lloyd George has been
attempting to have Premier Miller
and accept the Soviet government s
proposals for peace with Poland as a
preliminary to a general parley to be
held in London.
FOCH BACKS POLES.
Marshal Foch is said to hold the

beaten and could be saved If the
army is reorganiZed and supplied
with munitions and guns.
The conference of the military and
naval experts continued until early
today when the allied generalissimo
outlined his opinions and plans in
great detail.
One of the chief fears Of France
arises from the possibility Of an al
lance between Soviets Russia, and
Germany. The French fear that the
Germans may seek such a junction
to avoid their obligations under the
treaty and also as a means of getting
revenge upon the allies for the loss
of the world war. 1t is this fear
which has led Premier Millerand and
Marshal Foch to advocate vigorous
measures, even to the extent of armed
Intervention, to save Poland.

NEW YORK. Aug. e.-E II. Grim.

Philippi. ". Va, was found dying
from morphine here yesterday in the
room OF James Ready. Ready never
had laid eyes on him before, he told
the police and could not explain how
Grim got into his room.
1t is thought that the banker was
drugged and left in the FIRST accessible
hiding place that his assailants came
across. He died within a few hours
at New York Hospital without re-
covering his senses. A. S. Bradford
who identified the body. said that
Grim had come to New York on busi-
ness OF Importance.
Although some jewelry was found
on Crims person he had only ~
cents In his pocket, circumstance
which was mystifying to Bradford,
who said that the banker was accus-
toned TO carry large sums with him.

His attorney and business manager

IL was o'clock when Ready got
home. He noticed that the front door
was unlocked and that the door OF
his room stood ajar although he dis
tinctly remembered closing and lock-

night.
All thought OF sleep was driven

but after a glance at the contracted

that IT was an ambulance case.

him. Letters and papers were found
indicating that his name was L. II.
Grim and that he was staying at the
Hotel Pennsylvania. Egan noticed
that the lock on Ready's door had
been forced.
Physicians at the New York Hos

was suffering from acute morphine
poisoning. An autopsy probably will
be ordered to determine the cause OF
death, however.

II may be pardoned II draw on
my experience of over seven years in
an administrative position to state
unequivocally that the Governmen mt
Wachinery required reorganization.
The system, especially since the war,
has become antiquated. No mere bud
get system, much as we need that,
will correct the faults.
"First Of all, the methods of the
legislative branch of the national
Government, especially the upper
house, require drastic changes. In
the administrative branch also great
changes must take place. The func-
tions Of the departments should be
redistributed along common sense
lines and methods provided to stand
ardize and prevent duplication OF
effort. Under the safeguard of civil
service the salaries must approximate
those paid in private employ.

EYES OF SUFFRAGISTS
TURN TO N. CAROLINA

RALEIGH, N. c., Aug. 9.-As ad-
ditional members arrive here for the
special session of the North Carolina
legislature, which is to convene Tues
day, discussion OF the fight for the
ratification of the national woman
suffrage amendment increases and the
state taxation question, which is the
real cause of the extra session call,
is almost ignored.
Not only has suffrage taken the
center OF the stage, but almost the
whole stage although the talk OF
those antis early on the scene Is
that they will be able to hold off
the suffrage till the last days OF the
session. Governor Beckett called the
session to complete legislation in
pursuance of the revaluation act,
passed at the regular session of 1919,
but other subjects are already bob
bing up and promise to prolong the
deliberations of the legislature.

Brokers Spouse Causes Scene
on Street After 3 IL Years
Separation.

NEW YORK, Aug. 9.--When Mrs.
Elizabeth Armstrong saw her hus-
band, a broker. walking down Broad
way late Saturday night with another
woman, three and half years OF un-
disturbed separation were forgotten
and matrimonial differences broke out
afresh.
Frederick ID. Armstrong. the hus-
band was walking down Broadway
when his wife appeared. The scene,
created between Eighty-fourth and
Eighty-fifth street. attracted a crowd
OF 500 before Patrolman Galligan
could stop it. All three were de-
tained by the police.
Before Magistrate Douras Mrs.
Armstrong declared she and her nine-
year-old son were not getting proper
support from her husband. She said:
MARRIED ELEVEN YEARS.
"I've been married for eleven
years. But we have not been living
together for three and a half years.
He Is spending money on other wom-
en- instead of his wife and son."
Miss Thompson told the court that
Mrs. Armstrong called her improper
names and struck her. The latter did
not deny calling her names, saying
she was excited and didn't know
| what she was doing" She declared
she did not strike her husbands COM
panion.
After hearing the testimony of Arm
strong and Miss Thompson the mag
| istrate found Mrs. Armstrong guilty
and fined her $40. This brought a
counter complaint from Mrs. Arm
| strong, who alleged that her husband
struck her in the face. Armstrong
, was discharged.
REFERRED TO HIGHER COURT.
The court informed Mrs. Armstrong
there was higher court that would
adjust these differences and that she
had no right to attack a woman on
the street.
Yesterday Mrs. Armstrong said to a
reporter:
my husband supported me until
! a year ago, but since that time has
not given me anything. Our son lives
with his sister, but he has not been
caring for the boy as he should.
| II didn't strike the woman. The
whole affair started when I met them
on the street and said something to
them a Vi my husband denied he was
married to me. Then this other woman
agreed with him, and l just couldn't
stand it,"
