ARIZONA WILD MAN
(By Associated Press)


MIAMI, Ariz., Aug. 9.-This town
has been wishing some circus would
come along and capture man guar
anteed to be wild enough for any side
show. He first appeared several
months ago on hillside near Copper
Glance.
He was clad in nothing but an
abundance of Arizona atmosphere and
Miami people who observed him in
the distance Immediately notified The
police. An unavailing chase followed.
Since then, the mysterious stranger
has been seen several times lurkin:..
on the outskirts of town. One day,
when the menfolks of an outlaying
neighborhood were off at work, the
wild man" appeared. He was clothed
at that time, but he pranced on all
four around women and children with
agility and mournful howls. There
was an immediate exodus toward Mi
ami proper and the police had anoth-
er hard run for nothing. Nobody has
been able to establish the mans iden-
tity or the reason for his antics.

ALLIES TO SAVE
WESTERN EUROPE
FROM BOLSHEY|K|

HYTHE, England, Aug. 9.-How to
save Western Europe from Bolshe-
vism was the burden of discussion at
the morning conference between the
Premiers Lloyd George and Miller
and, although no final decision was
made it was still pending this after
noon, the chief weapons probably
will be the re-imposition or the block
ade giving support to Poland by tech
nical advice, supplying munition, etc.
No allied troops will be employed. 1t
is said, the allies, although they loathe
admitting it feel there is little hope
of saving Warsaw and the question
of saving Poland was not the main
issue. The main problem now facing
the premiers is the defense of western
Europe. The prevailing impression
among tn British and French Off
cials is that the Soviet government
hopes through the Polish offensive
firmly to establish Bolshevism at the
doors of western Europe.
