BRITISH RELUCTANT To
ENTER WAR WITH REDS

LONDON, Aug. 10.--Great Britain has
been given a few very anxious days as
a result of the Polish situation. No
body in this country wants to embark
, en- another war. Not only has Eng
land no soldiers to send, but the whole
community is tired of war and over
burdened with taxation.
Results of the Hythe conference are
considered as compromise between
the British and French as all the de-
csions reached at recent conferences
have been. Sundays proceedings were
proclaimed by the French to be vic
tory for the policy of Premier Miller
and, but yesterdays seem to have been
a success for Premier Lloyd George.
The British premier apparently had
two policies for dealing with the pres
ent situation. One is to arrange terms
with the Bolsheviki Of Russia, and the
other is to help Germany to get on her
feet, both policies being antagonistic
to what appears to be the French
view. France wants the allies TO sup
port Poland by all possible means, and
suspicion OF any assistance to Germany
seems to be apparent as French news
papers have recently been outspoken
in opposition to the policy OF Mr.. Lloyd
George. The third important member
of the alliance, Italy, was not repre-
sonted at, Hythe, but it is asserted she
is in entire accord with Mr.. Lloyd
George and has opened diplomatic re.
Iations with soviet. Russia, althougli
her allies have refused TO take a. sinli-
lar step
That Mr.. Lloyd Georges policy to-
ward the BolsheYiki will eventually trl-
umph in this country seems assured
by the strong attitude taken by labor.
There is no question that the labor
leaders are entirely in earnest, and
there is every indication they will be
fupported by the workers of Greas
Britain If they geek to enforce by a
general strike their demand that the
country shall not be committed to fur
ther Mar-likn cnterprees.

After a hasty examination of recon-
mendations Of the examiner for the
interstate commerce commission for the
readtustment of class rates in Missls-
sippi valley territory, received here on
Tuesday afternoon. James 5. DaVant,
commissioner for the Memphis freight
bureau, expressed the opinion that the
recommendations would be agreed TO by
local shippers. The rates recommended
will be substantially lower than those
asked for by the carriers.
A basis rate from Cairo to Memphis
of 82I2 cents was recommended by the
examiner. The carriers asked SO cents
and the shippers suggested so cents
On the rates from st. Louis to Mem
phis territory, the carriers asked
dfferential of 80 cents over the Cairo
Memphis rate. The shippers contended
for a 22-cent dtferential. The exam
iner recommended a differential of 22i2
cents over the Cairo rate, for the ter
ritory in the Mississippi valley north Of
Vicksburg.
All lower class rates are to be es-
tablshed on a per cent basis, based on
the first-class rate, as follows: First
class, 100 per cent; second class So per
cent third class, 20 per cent; fourth
class, 60 per cenk; fifth class, AZ per
cent sixth class, 40 per cent; class A,

GARRETT ABSOLUTELY
OPPOSES RATIFICATION

Unqualified opposition to action OF the
Tennessee legislature in ratiiying the
federal suffrage amendment is expressed
by Congressman Finis ]. Garrett who
is In Memphis attending the Cotton
states Merchants association conven-
tion. MIR Garrett, in speaking Of the
subject, deplored the move which would
force an issue and was OF the opinion
that 1t would be- r had thing for the
parties as a whole in the November
election.
my view OF the matter is that the
constitution has a clause which in
hibits action on the federal amend
ment by any general assembly elected
prior TO the submission OF the amend
ment by congress and action would at
least create an element Of legal doubt
OF the validity OF any ratification by
the present general assembly he said
| The amendment only fixes the right
| each state which has not already pro-
Nded for womans suffrage must set up
the machinery through which the right
may be exercised.
The federal amendment proposes to
establish the right Of voting in all
elections, state as well as national
Therefore, II there be doubt as 10 the
validity this doubt involves not only
the legality Of the presidential election
but the election Of a number Of men
