ENGLAND DOESN'T
TAKE KINDLY TO
YANK COCKTAIL
Ex-U. S. Bartenders Unable to
Introduce American Drink
In London.

London, Aug. 3l.-The great
American cocktail offensive, direct
ed against London, has failed. The
old-time English. saloons put up a
heavy whisky-and-soda barrage be-
fore which the New York storm
troops, although cleverly led, beat
a disorderly retreat.
The American attack was conduct
ed by unemployed Manhattan bar
tenders. They effected a secret
landing in England, bringing with
them an abundance and variety of
munitions. They were confident
that they woul win with liquid
fire." but despite the refinement of
their mixed armory, their propagan-
da system was weak and the forces
of the Scottish disti1leries won an
easy victory, without having to call
out the English beer and Irish stout
reserves.
In issuing an official admission of
defeat. Harry Craddock, late of Hol-
land House and Hoffman House,
New York. and now of the Savoy
hotel London, says:
MY New York friends cannot
break into this town. The English
man prefers a long drink. He likes
to sip his whisky and soda. not to
toss i, off quickly. For that reason
he cannot take to cocktails. Later
he may change; it's all matter of
education"
Craddock has 200 cocktails on the
Savoy wine list, but 90 per cent of
his customers are Americans.

REDS warn POLES

Soviets Threaten TO Recon-.
mence Offensive Unless Po-
land Evinces Sincere De-
sire to End War.
By HENRY WALES.
New York Times Chicago Tribune Cable
COpyriKht, 1920,

Paris, Aug. 3l.-Tchicherin has
sent wireless note direct to Pre-
1nier .Witos threatening to recon-
mence the Russian offensive at once
unless Poland Immediately evinces
sincere desire for peace, the foreign
office says.
The sting of this communication,
however, was drawn by the asser-
ton that soviet Russia earnestly de-
sired to live in peace and harmony
with her neighboring powers and
especially with Poland.
Reds Still Aggressive.
The foreign office was informed d
today that the bolshevik army was
not a shattered force but was still
able to give combat.
The Tchicherin dispatch declared:
"The red troops are regrouped in
new positions and are ready to be-
gin a new advance unless an armi-
stice is declared.
Reds Need Peace.
But soviet Russia considers
friendly relations with Poland as "a
necessary foreign policy. We seek
evidences of the same attitude from
Poland, but the Polish commission
at Minsk persistently has been de-
laying the negotiations by refusing
to discuss certain matters.
''As 4 result of the Polish commits
sion's complaint that it was not af-
forded open communication with
Warsaw from Minsk, l have sent a
dispatch to Prince Sapieh suggest
ing transfer of the armistice to
an Esthonian town and am already
taking the matter up with the
Esthonian government"

NJ. A. Hall, British counsul at Oma-

for the estate of Robert McQuilken,
former Furnas county man, who died
in Ireland two years ago, is no
reason why the $25,000 in personal

The state legal department has so
held in an opinion prepared for the

dispute between the two counties
for the privilege of taxing the prop
