A. W. MARCY.
 Mayor.
Mayor Marcy

Mayor Marcy in calling upon the cit | izens of Putnam who have any direct ] knowledge of law-brealzing to bring their evidence to the proper authorities falls directly in line with Prosecuting Attor- ney Ernest C. Morse, who two weeks ago at the trial of the seven men brought into the city court in connection with the Fourth of July celebration, address ing Judge Mahlon H. GeiSsler, and the spectators in the room as well, said:, Tt is the duty of every citizen of Putnam who has any evidence that will lead to convictions in this present affair to put that evidence into the hands of the pros ecuting attorney" Such expressions as these show conclusively that the author ities of Putnam are not performing their duties in a luke-warm way, but are tru- ly anxious to prosecute cases of lawless- ness, provided they are given evidence and not heaFsay to work upon. As Mayor Marcy states, if there is an or ganizatien fostering vice in this city, as was declared in the report in the city paper then those who have the evidence and know that this is true should go to the proper city authorities who will promise .,roner crtjan at once Putnam citizens themselves are not willing to be- lieHe, nor have t44ey ssroands for believ- ing, that this city is morally below the average city of it's size. Consequently they have just grounds for feeling in dignant tha tthe name of this eonmu- nifty should be unfavorably and errone- ously advertised.
 The article. a special to Hartford paper that brought forth the protest from Mayor Marcy and which has caused a storm of indignation in Put nam is as follows and was headed: : Lone Woman Fights Vice in Putnam. Mrs. Walter J. Bartlett Has Life Threatened and Home Menaced:

 qu1ry, when many witnesses were heard
 in relation to this matter. but as no ev-
 idence was obtained justifying further
 action considered the matter closed and

 As to general conditions of this city, I do not for moment contend they are perfect nor do I know of any place in which they are; yet do not believe crime is being fosteTed by nearly the entire population and that the authori- ties are not even lukewarm in the in- 1 terests of law and order, as has been in- | timated; nor do I know of drunks being
 so numerous upon our streets as has been reported. If any person with di- rect knowledge of law-breaking of any kind will go to the prosecuting attorney I with the evidence, action will be obtain ed, but heresay and "1 guess so" eyi- ! dence cannot accomplish the desired re- suits.

sPELLACY TO KEEP

Hartford, Conn, Aug 5.-Assistant United States Attorney General Thomas J. Spellacy, before his departure today for Washington, reiterated that his "on.y ambition is to return to Hartford and added that he would much prefer to do 50 as Q private citizen.
 At present." said MT Spellacy II can See no reason for the injection of my name in the political arena. Many have asked me if I am again to be the democratic nominee for governor. Nat uraIly the answer to that question de- bends upon the wishes of the democratic party and the action of the approaching state convention. It would be pre- sumptuous for me to answer in the af- frmatiVe and it certainly would be un- gracious for me to reply in the mega tive. 1 am conscious of the many hon ors that I have received from my party and a sense of gratitude, if nothing else, would compel inc to make almost any sacrifice if my democratic associates were of the opinion I should do so.'

gaining Assurance.

Warsaw, Aug 5 (By the A. P.).-The bolshevik offensive against the Poles along the Bug river between Brest Litovsk and the confluence of the Nurzec has been stopped. The oPlish counter offensive north and south is developing successfully and the new Polish army concentrated between the Narew and Bug rivers has driven the enemy back to the edge of the province of Grodno, notwith- standing the pressure of the bolshevik forces which crossed the Narew opposite LoTnza.
 In Volhynia the Polish position upon the upper Styr, on the Stochod and in the Pripet marshes arc holding we'll Enemy cavalry continues advancing along the Prussian frontier in the direction of the Danzig- -Mlawa-W Warsaw railroad, but, in view of the small number of effectives employed, this movement, aimed at the Thorn region, constitutes for the moment at least only an extensive demonstration against Polish Pomerania.
 With the bolsheviki virtually knocking at the gates of Warsaw, the populace has been aroused to the highest pitch of patriotic fervor. The entire press de- clares that Warsaw must not surrender ! to the invader.
 Fresh drafts of conscripts and many volunteers are moving toward the front many of them boys of 4 and 15 years of age. The government ip it's extremity has called to the colors the classes of 1890 and 1895 from the district between the Rivers Vistula and San for the de- fense of this section.

RUSSIA DECLINES GREAT
 BRITAIN'S CALL FOR A HALT

London, Aug. 6-The Russian soviet's reply to Great Britain's call for halt of the bolshevik advance in Poland is a re- fusal, according to the London Times. The newspaper says the ground taken is that the armies would not obey an order to halt and will only be content when they reach Warsaw, which has been promised to them for loot
 The Times says the note to the British government was received by M. kameneff, one of the bolshevik delegates here Thursday night and will be handed to Premier Lloyd George this (Friday) morning.
 According to the Times, the note says the bolsheviki are entitled both by mili- tary and international law to continue their advance until an armistice is con- cluded. They are, however, prepared to sign an armistice and cease hostilities immediately the Polish delegates return to the appointed place with power to ar range an arnistice and peace.
 The answer further points out, says the Times, that the soviet government is pre- pared to offer Poland terms. including complete independence and wider boun- daries than are provided for in the treaty of Versailles.
 The soviet government declares in the answer that it's delegates now in London are empowered to sign a peace with Great Britain or any other entente power but that a separate peace with Poland is insisted upon.

Mob of 5000 Rioting
 In West Frankfort, Ill,

St. Louis. Mo, Aug. 5.-A mob of more than 3,QU0 is in control of West Frankfort, Ills, threatening to drive put the foreign population, following the discovery yesterday of the bodies or Amiel Calcaterra 19, and Tony Hempel ls, who had been murdered, according 70 a long distance telephone message received tonight from Carterville, Ills. Forty persons have been injured, four seriously, in riots, it was said.
 The rioting started this afternoon, ac- cortinz to the message, when two more suspects were arrested in connection with the murder.
 The mob, hastily organizing, stornaed the jail, demanding the prisoners. When this was refused. they demanded that a committee chosen from their members be allowed to talk to the prisoners.
 The authorities granted this demand and the prisoners, one of whom is a chauffeur, is said to have informed his auestioners that he drove Calcaterra and Hempel to Royalton Monday in company with Settino De Sesnis, who also IS held in connection with the murder.
 The committee then withdrew from the jail and the two prisoners were hastily removed by the authorities.
 The mob is reported to have divided and started for nearby towns where it is believed that Sesnis and the other two suspects may have been taken.
 West Frankfort is in southern Illinois coal region, and has been cut off from telephonic communication for some time on account of labor trouble, and only n.eagre information was available.
 Foreigners are reported to be leaving West Frankfort and Marion by every road. cerrying what household goods they can, and in many instances driving cattle ahead Of them

THE POLISH ARMY IS
 STIFFENING ITS DEFENSE

Paris, Aug. (By the A. P).--Inspired by wave of patriotism in the rear and encouraged by the arrival of arms and munitions, the Polish army seems to be stiffening in their defense against the in- vasion of the bolsheviki, who are virtual ly at the gates of Warsaw, Poland's cap- ital
 Although but vague and somewhat con- tradictory reports have reached Paris to- day, it is regarded here tonight that the Poles still have a chance of stopping the Red drive and limiting the extent of the disaster They apparently have not alto gether abandoned the line of the Bug river ThA Brest Litovsk forts at last accounts were still in the possession of the Poles, and denial is made that the bolsheviki have reached Ostrolenko. The Polish staff even has been able to launch two counter -offensives, in the north in the region of Lomza and in the extreme south in Galcia.
 Another factor held by military observ- : CTS to favor the Poles is that in view of the imperfect transportation of the bol- sheviki their rate of progress necessarily must decrease as the length of their line of communication increases.
 The allies have not yet, as far as Is known, decided on what course to pursue in the Polish situation, but exchanges of viesw were going on all day today be- | tween the Paris and London governments.
