AMERICAS GREAT CHANCE
BY the Associated Press

Rome, Feb. 5.-Premier Nitti. in 9
statement to the Associated Press on tho
economic situation. said:
II agree with many points in the
letter of Secretary of the Treasury
Glass. addressed TO the American
Chamber of Commerce. Europe must
be animated by the spirit of peace.
Above ALL it is impossible to prolong
much further the present economic sit
uation. Italy has set an example, un
derstanding this necessity. We, first
among all the nations of Europe. have
adopted the heaviest taxation. We are
raising taxes sufficient to pay the in
terest on our debts and also our cx =
penses. For each new debt we have
advised new taxation. We are ap-
preaching equilibrium OF the national
budget.
Rise in Exchange
America. however. must under
stand the situation clearly. An ego
iistical spirit now animatcs the nations
the war not having brought that soil
darity which should have resulted from
trials endured together. The rise in
exchange brings about a rapid and con
tlnuous augmentation of expenses. caus-
ing unrest and strikes. which in their
turn diminish production. making the
relations between the classes increas-
1ngly difficult and dangerous.
1T is in the interest of America her
self that the exchange question should
not become worse but should immedi-
ately be solved by international agree
ment. We must all act together for
the safety of all and in my opinion the
problem must be attacked Immediately
and cnergetically.
United States TO Feel 1t, He Says
II might at first sight appear that
the United States has no Immediate in
terest, but this question of exchange
will end by being most injurious to the
United States. IF steps are not taken
in time there will be one of the most
colossal crisis the world has ever seen.
and America will be drawn into it. 1t
1s Imperative that condition Of eaui-
hbrium be re established Immediately.
The United States Government can
render services of the highest value to
humanity and to America herself. which
would suffer from a worldwide crisis. -

Mir. Lloyd George announced in the house of commons today that in- quiry surely would be made as to America's position. To this was add ed the fact that Italy had not taken a prominent part in the allied discns- sions.
 The note did not go into details to the available means" which might be employed in protecting Po- land. There was only on implied re- sponse to Poland's request for a dec laration of the moral support" of the United States.
 In declaring complete sympathy of the United States with the Russian people, Mir. Colby denounced the so- viet leaders. His language was com pared with that contained in the pr posal of the then Secretary Lansing two years ago that Bolsheviki be clared international outlaws.

TRY TO DERA|L
 STA. F TRAIN
Heavy Chest Across Rails Is Discovered in Time
 to Avoid Disaster

ROCKY FORD, Colo, Aug. 10.-What railroad officials believe was an at tempt to wreck a Santa Fe passenger train at o'clock this morning was narrowly averted when the engineer and crew spied an obstruction on the tracks in time to prevent derail- ment of the locomotive and other cars. A large heavy tool box lay across the rails but by applying the emergency brakes in time the train was almost stopped before the pilot of the locomotive hit the box.
 When the train came to a full stop, members of the crew jumped off and in the close vicinity captured a man who gave his name as Ballenger and who says Denver is his home. He is being held here pending investiga- tion He claims that he had just ar rived on the spot, and, seeing the obstruction, was trying to stop the train.
 Santa Fe railroad detectives are holding a man who gave his name as Ballenger at Rocky Ford while continuing their investigation of h!s alleged atteilnt to wreck Santa Fe passenger rain No. eos northbound Tor Denver near Rocky Ford, at four o'clock this morninr. One story he told the detectives is that he placed the box of rocks on the track to stop the train so he could get OF. The I,, h n box on the tracks and was attempt ing to stop the train is somewhat borne out by the statement of the train crew that he was seen to be waving his arms He ran, however, when the train stopped and was cap tured by members of the train crew.
 There were no notables aboard the train, as far as local railroad off cials were able to learn.

 As viewed in London. Warsaw seems likely to fall before the nego- tiations between the two warning fact ions are concluded. Lloyd Georges speech in the house of commons showed he is still working for peace hopeful of securing.
 Leo Kameneff, one of the soviet emissaries in London has submitted to the premier the Russian armistice terms and at the same time issued them to the British press with the evident object it is said in some quart CTS, of strengthening the hands of the British labor party.
 They are hard terms, demanding demobilization of the Polish army and war industries and complete dis armament except for 50,000 men. Russia. on the other hand undertakes to withdraw her troops from the Pol ish front, reduce her troops on the frontier and grant Poland a frontier stipulated by the British government with additional territorial conces- sions to Poland in the Bialystok and Cholm regions. Mir. Lloyd George in his pronouncement declared no ac- tion would be taken except to sup port the struggle for Polish exist ence and independence"

The note was in response to an agreeable intimation' from the Ital- ian ambassador that his government would welcome a statement of the American governments views. Much of it was devoted to a statement of States toward the Russian people.
 Differed with Council
 In reviewing past events, the sec retary of state disclosed some diplo- matic secrets. He revealed that the American government had withheld preme council recognizing independ- ence of the "so-called republics" of Georgia and Azerbaijan, because part of them were taken from the old Rus sian empire.
 It also was stated that the United States had held that the final deter imitation of the boundaries of Arme- nia which the president had been as1- ed by the allies to fix, must not be made without Russia's cooperation" '"
 It was disclosed that the United States had refused to recognize the Baltic states. with the exception of Finland, a once independent nation. because it held they were rightly a part of Russia and that the territory should be held for the Russian people until they organize stable government.
 We are unwilling" the note declar- ed, that while it is helpless in the grip of non-representative govern ment, whose only sanction is brutal force, Russia shall be weakened still further by policy of disarmament. conceived in other than Russian in- terests."
 Secretary Colby's statement of the attitude of the Americans in the face of the threatened overthrow of Po- land was unequivocal. He declared that the people of the United States were S''earnestly solicitous" for the maintenance of Poland's territorial integrity and political independence
 From that attitude we will
 not depart" he announced, "and
 the policy of this government
 will be directed to the employ
 ment of all available means to
 render it effectuaI."
 Pillage and oppression of the Poles he declared. would remove Russia from the pale of the friendly inter- ests of other nations"
 The note was accepted generally as evidence that the United States and England and France were alone in determination to prevent the ab- sorbing of Poland into Russia. Great Britain's views were outlined today in the house of commons by Premier Lloyd George.
 There apparently. however, was a difference as between the views of the British and American govern ments on dealing with the soviet and preservation of the true boundaries of the former Russian empire.
 Exchanges between Washington and London and Paris on the situa- ton have been going on for some days and the fact that the American note was addressed to the Italian ambassador created some surprise here.

REDS CLOSE IN

PARIS, Aug 10.-Slowly but sure- ly, the Rolsheviki are closing in on Warsaw. according to the latest news. AppreciaDle endorsements appear to have been brought to the northern soviet army, and in the Mlawa region their advance is grow ing more dangerous. While the lat ter movement does not immediately threaten communications between Warsaw and Danzig, through the Wis tula river valley, the Poles will be obliged to form new army north of Warsaw to cope with it.
 To do so, they would have to draw on the army concentrating north of Lublin, with the object Of falling on Russian forces which cross to the left bank of the Bug river there, maneuver which military experts be- lieve might be the means of saving Warsaw and inflicting a serious check on the Bolshevik. But appar- ently this operation is no longer pos sible, for the situation is notably worse on the Bug east of Warsaw.
 French military opinion is con- vinced the Poles will be obliged to abandon the Bug and fall back on the Vistula after making brief stand on the VierprZ river. Under these cir cumstances, the battle for Warsaw would be fought in Warsaw.
