THOMAS E, WATSON.
 IS ARRESTED FOR PUBLIC INDECENCy
Eccentric Georgia Candidate Appears in Hotel Lobby
 in Pajamas

Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 18.-Thomas K. Watson, candidate for the democrat ic nomination for United States sen ator in the September primaries, was placed under arrest At Buford, Ea., tonight, and held in $500 bond on charge of public indecency," .ae- cording to statements made over the telephone by Chief of Police L. D.. Lawson and Sheriff J. R. Shadburn. The affair, they said, grew out of a disturbance created by MT. Watson in the hallway of .Buford hotel af- ter he had prepared to retire. A man whose name appeared on the warrant as "E. H. Miller," ac- cording to Sheriff Shadburn, was held in $1,O00 bond after Chief Law son had accused him of drawing a pistol when the chief sought to make arrests in the case.
 MT. Watson, it is said, was expect ed to make bond later in the night and be liberated. Pending that time it was impossible to get statement from him from here.
 MT. Watson, who is on campaign tour, went to Buford late today, it was said, and was to make speech near there tomorrow. Substantially the account of the affair given by Sheriff Sharburn and Chief Lawson was that after having prepared to retire about 9 o'clock tonight at the hotel, MT. Watson suddenly appeared in the hallway and declared among other things that his rest was being disturbed by men "paid" by his po- litical opponents.
 Some young men playing setback in the lobby" was all that was go-
 ing on at the time, according to Lawson. MT. Watson hurled book in the midst of the young men, the chief and Sheriff Shadburn agreed
 and also made remarks to Mrs. Sal ly Wiley, proprietor of the hotel which were resented.
 I MT. Watson was clad in his night
 garments at the time of his appear
 ance, the two officials said, and il
 was on these grounds that the charge
 of public indenceny was made, Sher.

WARSAW SAFE,
 RUSSIANS ON
 THE DEFENSIVE
Poles Bold Offensive Reaches First Objective On Both
 Wings
COSSACkS DESERT REDS,
 JOIN WRANGEL'S ARMY
South RSssian Anti-BOlshevik Leader, Recognized by France, Report cd to Have Support of
 Nation

Paris. Aug. Warsaw now seems to be saved from the bolsheviki. Pilsudski's armies no longer are obliged to fight defensive battle, and the bold offensive on both wings has reached the first objectives and the Poles appear to be pushing be- fore attempting to develop their suc- cess.
 The offensive on the left wing is being personally led by the French generals Henry and Billitte and al- ready has yielded important results. It has once more put the Poles in possession of the key to the Warsaw defenses-the fork between the Na- rev and Bug rivers-while the for ces advancing toward Mlawa, which have reached Tsechanoff, 12 miles to the south of Mlawa, will force the bolsheviki marching toward Block and Thorn to beat a hasty retreat and consequently reopen the direct rail- road line to Danzig.
 But the maneuver on the right wing, along the line of Grovlin and Paratchoff, between the Vistula and the Buzz, is the more interesting of the two from the stragetic view point, because it threatens the com munications of the main bolshevik forces. Swelled by troops freed by shortening the front in the Brody region, the movement already has gained rapid headway of the Don- etz river in this section.
 Cossack troops are said to have revolted against the soviet govarn- ment and joined the forces of Gen eral Wrangel, who is also reported to have the support of the entire population of the country. Warsaw, Aug. 18.-The foreign of- flee on Tuesday started a courier for Moscow wit himportant docu- ments for the Polish delegates at- tending the conference with the bol- sheviki at Minsk, as Warsaw is not in communication with Minsk M. Tihitcherin the, bolshevik foreign secretary will be requested by the courier to forward the documents immediately. Indications are the Minsk confer ence will continue for week and possibly longer.

OPERATORS, MINERS,
 ADJOURN WITHOUT
 SIGNING AGREEMENT
Men to Take Grievances to President Wilson, is
 Plan

Cleveland, O., Aug. 18.-The Joint scale committee of operators and mi ners of the central competitive bituminous coal fields-comprising Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and western Pennsylvania, adjourned shortly be- fore midnight tonight without reach ng any agreement, after having been in session five days.
 Following adjourning of tonight's the miners would hold separate caucus here tomorrow morning wher a telegram will be prepared and sent to President Wilson informing hin of the failure of the conference te reach any agreement in line witt his request.
 The telegram will state that tho failure to reach an agreement was because the operators failed to sub init any proposition adequate to mee the requirements of justice to th' miners.
 Ellis Searles, editor of the United Mine Workers Journal, tonight sait the failure of the conference to reacl an agreement did not mean tha there would be strike of coal min CTS.
 "Therc is nothing in the presen situation,' MT. Searles said. "to caus the public to fear the strike of coa miners. The mine workers still fee confidence that before the fina chapter is written full justice vii be done to them"

TROTzkY DECLARES
 WAR SITUATION IS VERY SATISFACTORY
Soviet War Minister Explains Cause of Recent Red De-
 feats

Moscow, Aug. 1S.--Soviet Russiass, position on both the Polish and South Russian fronts was pronounced generally satisfactory" by Leon Trotzky, bolshevik war minister, in. an address here today. The speech was delivered at a meeting of the Moscow soviet.
 Discussing the military situation. Trotzky declared that "on the front against White Poland, our Red troops have fulfilled the fundamental part of their task. The holding up of our advanced troops before Warsaw in no way alters the state of affairs, all the more as the Polish front is now divided into two parts military and diplomatic-and possesses two cen-' ters--one in Warsaw and the other in Minsk."
 "The peace negotiations at Minsk| are of exceptional importance" con- tinued the war minister, "becausa they are developing on the unstable foundations of stormy movement among the workers. Great Britain. also is passing through an unhsard of display of excitement among her workers in connection with the peace negotiations between Russia and Pc. land. e
 "On General Wrangel's front, he added, Eve are opening the gates wide to our enemies, but we shall as.; sault them in the flank and rear. Tho fate of the revolution will be decided on the Polish front. This is why wes have concentrated our forces in thsl west and are only leaving posts ois the southern front in order to hold pI5| Wrangel's advance"
