French munitions for Poland. Several
French ships were anchored outside
the port with war supplies for the
Poles, but Tower said he had not suf-
ficient allied troops to preserve order
if more munitions were unloaded
there. The French government for
mally protested against his ruling.
In south Russia General Wrangel
continued his gains against the soviet
army, and in Moscow Leon Trotzky
issued a call for volunteers for Serv-
ice on the southern front. He de-
nounced France for recognizing and
aiding Wrangel and accused England
of also giving help, directly and indi
rectly. The anti-bolshevik leader is
said to have the support of the entire
population in the south, for he is CIV
ing the land to the peasants, and he
has been joined by many Cossacks.
Though Lloyd George asserts that
Great Britain has not helped and will
not help Wrangel, the recognition of
the general by France has not yet
brought about the breach between the
two countries that was predicted by
aIarmist correspondents and hopeful
Germans.

Soviet Russians Put to Rout by
Poles Following Strategy of
Foch and Weygand.
WARSAW APPARENTLY SAVED
Baron WrangeI Scores More Victories
Over the Reds-Tennessee Legis-
Iature Gives Final Touch to
Suffrage atification-Min-
ers and Operators Can't
Agree
BY EDWARD W. PIckARp.

Once more French military genius
has triumphed over that Of the Ger
mans. Following the strategy of Mar
shall Foch and General Weygand. the
Poles last week put to-rout the invad-
ing Russians who, if reports are to
be credited. are directed in their move
ments by former officers of the Ger
man army.
AT this writing the final outcome of
the struggle cannot safely be predict
ed, for the battle is still in progress,
but all dispatches indicate that War
saw has been saved and that the Dan
zig corridor has been cleared of the
reds. Rejecting the first suggestion
of Foch and Weygand, that they give
up their capital and meet the Rus
slams behind the Vistula, the Poles
adopted the alternative plan Of their
French advisers. This was that all
advanced units should be called back
and heavy forces concentrated on a
short defensive line before Warsaw;
that the enemy should be permitted
to advance in open order and to Sin
filtrate," and that the Poles should
then launch counter-attacks with all
their forces and with the aid of
tanks At this time the most adj
vanced of the reds were within few
miles of Warsaw. Within four days
the Russians were reported as flee
ing in disorder along the front be-
tween the Vistula and Bug rivers, as
retiring hastily from the Danzig cor
ridor and as being pushed back rap
idly in the southern sector.
The Polish left wing. led by French
Generals Henry and Billotte in per-
son. drove the Russians out of the fork
between the Bug and Narew rivers,
which is considered the key to the
defenses of Warsaw, and part of
this Polish force moved swiftly north
ward toward Mlawa, threatening to
cut off the reds who had advanced
far on the roads to Thorn and Plock,
and regaining control of the direct
rail route between Warsaw and Dan
zig. Airplanes, tanks, armored trains

most effectively and thousands of pris-
oners and great quantities of supplies
were captured.
General Pilsudski, chief of the Pol
ish state led the troops operating east
and south of Warsaw. and this move
ment was considered of the greatest
Importance because its complete sue
cess would result in the cutting OF the
lines of communication of the boil
sheviki. This force was strengthened
by the shortening of the front in Cal
icia, where the Poles continued re-
treating for the purpose of releasing
many units for the battle to the north.
BY Friday Pilsudski was in possession
Of Lukow, Al miles southeast OF War
saw, and was going strong.
The two movements of the Poles
concentrated pincers operation
which promised to force the Russians
altogether out of Poland. The latter,
flushed with their successes. seem to

suffrage forces, changing his vote to
the affirmative in order to move a re-
consideration.
But the women must still win in
projected litigation by the enemies
OF suffrage, designed to attack the Ie-
gality of the Tennessee ratification.
In the state constitution there is a
clause which says:
mo convention or general assembly
of this state shall act upon any
amendment of the constitution of the
United States proposed by congress
to the several states unless such con-
ventiOn or general assembly shall have
been elected after such amendment is
submitted"
The present legislature was elected
in November, 1913, and the suffrage
amendment was not submitted to the
state until months afterwards. The
Supreme courts decision in the at
legislatures action on the dry amend
ment is taken as an indication that
the action Of the Tennessee IegiSla-
ture will stand.
Leaders of both the Republican and
Democratic parties claimed to see in
the. suffrage victory an advantage for
for their respective tickets in the pres
idential campaign. The women who
have been conducting the fight thanked
both Senator Harding and Governor
Cox for their help. Secretary of State
Colby was prepared to promulgate the
amendment as soon as the action of the
Tennessee assembly was confirmed.
The North Carolina house of repre-
sentatives defeated the ratification Of
the suffrage amendment by vote Of
II to A.

The two movements of the Poles
concentrated a pincers operation
which promised to force the Russians
altogether out of Poland. The latter,
flushed with their successes, seem to
have forgotten the basic principles OF
modern warfare and rushed ahead
without regard to their communica-
lions and supports, as though against
foe that was already utterly beat
en-. Large bodies got entirely out OF
touch with the main forces and were
easily cut off and captured after they
had been allowed to filter through the
Polish lines.

The wages of soft coal miners IA the
central competitive field again were
put up to President Wilson. The joint
scale conference of operators and min
ers at Cleveland spent five days in
fruitless discussion and the workers
sent word to the president that the
conference, which was called by him,
was unable to adjust inequalities in
pay. The operators wanted to ask
Mr.. Wilson to appoint board of in
quiry and adjustment, but the miners
refused to join in the request. The
men ask that the wages of day work.
ers be advanced $3.50 day. Though
Ellis Searles, editor of the United
Mine Workers Journal, said there
was little or no danger that the dis
agreement would result in another
strike, the operators were not so OPP
timistic. 1t was believed the opera
tors of Illinois might grant the de-
mands of the miners.

Armistice negotiations between the
Poles and the Russians opened in
Minsk, and the latter set forth the
terms they were willing to grant. 1t
may we'll be that these will be mOdi-
fed by the military operations of the
week. According to Wigdor Kopp,
who is in Berlin for the soviet govern
ment, the latter in its dealings with
Poland and the allies will insist on d.
rect communication with the Baltic,
probably by way Of Bialystok, and
will demand that Poland give Russia
the right to transport goods direct to
and from Germany. He says the boil
sheviki are determined TO restore eco
nomic relations with Germany. In
this he has the support of Felix
Deutsch, head Of the great electrical
manufacturing company of Germany,
who asserts that Russia'S immense
supplies of raw material must be
brought to the worlds markets, that
Russia must be developed immediate
ly, and that Germany is best equipped
for that work. Deutsch ridicules the
danger of the spread of bOlshevism
outside of Russia, which does not ac-
cord with the official German view,
often expressed when Berlin urges
that the allies permit the organization
of a stronger German army.

So far, the only available means"
that the United States government has
found of aiding Poland is the dispatch
of a cruiser and two destroyers from
Cherbourg to Danzig. Officially, they
were sent to protect American citizens
and their interests. A large deIega-
ton of Americans of Polish origin
called on Secretary of State Colby, af-
ter carrying an appeal to President
Wilson Mr. Colby did not overlook
the opportunity to tell them that the
governments hands we're tied, mainly
by the refusal of the senate to ratify
the peace treaty.
The threat of British labor to call
against a war on Russia stirred up
such protests that the labor council
has announced it never had any such
intention. Lloyd George told the la
borites that "any attempt to dictate
the policy of parliament strikes at the
root of democratic constitution in the
country and will be resisted with all
the power of the government"
The Chicago Federation of Labor,
long under the control Of radicals who
are tinged with pink, initiated the
supposed action of British labor by
adopting resolutions demanding gen
eral strike if the United States gives
military aid to the Poles.

ously, but it was a narrow squeak in

Despite injuries and complaints of
favoritism and poor training, the
American competitors in the Olympic
games at Antwerp are doing quite
we'll. Up to the time of writing they
had scored 118 points and their near
est rival, Finland, had only 40 points.
Correspondents aver that every other
nation has gone to the games better
prepared than is America, and the
American managers are accused of
making bad selection of entries and of
letting in Pacific coast athletes who
were failures in their preliminary
work.
