ful American is now using her tact and
her many millions in having this matter
settled to her satisfaction
Those who know the American Princess
say that she IS not pleased that the tituIar
head OF her husbands family should marry
a girl OF no rank. This marriage de-
tracted from the importance OF the
Americans own position and made her a
relation Of peasants. and although some OF
the royal family were trying to keep her
from enjoying royal rank. she was not
disposed to help an obscure. uncultivatsd
girl to occupy a throne. In this connec-
ton L should be recalled that Ms. Leeds
made extraordinary efforts to placate the
aggressive ex-Queen in spite Of her IN
friendly attitude. The American wishes
to be a princess with the approval OF the
entire royal caste Of Europe.
Many circumstances. in fact, appear to
complicats the cruelty embarrassing posi-

UNCONDITIONAL CESSATION , OF RUSSIAN ADVANCE IN
 POLAND IS NOW DEMANDED

LONDON, Aug. (by Associated Press) The Herald today says Pre- [ mier Lloyd George has presented an ultimatum to the Soviet representa- tives demanding the immediate and unconditional cessation of the Russian advance into Poland, even before the signing of an armistice, otherwise the British will declare war. The paper says the British note to Russia is of a threatening character.
 The Daily Mail also reports that the note is in the nature of an ultimatum.
 In military circles, however, the view is taken that the allies princl- pal weapon against the Bolsheviki will be a blockade and that Poland will be given supplies if possible. Berlin report says the Reds are within 30 miles of Warsaw.
 Among British officials and diplo- mats of other nations undisguised anxiety is felt over the Polish situa- tion. One official said "the situation is as grave as that in August, 1914.'

PLEDGES SUPPORT INTERIOR DEPARTMENT FOR OPENING

SEATTLE, Aug. 5 (by Associated Press) Secretary of the Interior John Barton Payne and Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels, upon their return from Alaska addressed two meetings last Friday and on both occasions stated plainly that that something should be done for Alaska and should be done right away
 The cabinet nfembers addressed the noon luncheons of the members council
 At the dinner given in their honor lat the Arctic club, Friday night the cabinent members impressed their audience with the fact that they were cognizant of the urgent need there is for new legislation for Alaska. Tn addition to the speeches by the sec retary there were remarks by s. H. Hedges, president of the chamber, J. H. Fox, president of the Arctic club and Dr. w. A. Mathews. S. H. Piles was toastmaster. Secretary Payne said in part:
 There is something typical of America in the thought of Alaska. When I said today that Seattle was tEe trustee for the United States in dealing with Alaska, I wanted to bring home to you the thought of strict responsibility. The admirable statement of your toastmaster about these restrictions you feel so keenly that it is one of the songs in the book which I find at my plate, and yet when I went into the Interior De- pertinent nobody said anything about the restrictions in Alaska.
 "The first thing I confronted was the fact that under a Democratic ad- ministration-and I only say that be- cause I am a part of it now-the country had embarked in the expen- allure of $5O00O,OOO to build a rail road between 800 and 600 miles long in Alaska; and the information had come to me that the population was actually decreasing, that whereas we had some years ago perhaps 50,OO0 people in Alaska, now we had only 25, 1000 people there. And I asked my self the question:; is it to come about that a great enterprising people with a vast unexplored continent practi- cally, is going to spend $5O,000,000 and let it go to waste, let the grass grow between the ties? That is why I got busy about Alaska.
 "Now as I said in a little address when we were going up, that the state of Washington was the last outpost on the American continent. You cannot go back because all the country east is moving to the west. Nothing remains for Seattle and the state of Washington but to move to l the Orient and to Alaska; and it is your task to see that the commerce of the United States is carried to every portion of the Orient and that Alaska is developed to the utter most Perhaps these restrictions we complain of can be readily removed. I think the president has the power, certainly congress has, to remove all the restrictions; and it certainly
 
 ought not to be difficult if you pre- sent united front and have the CO., operation of the interior department, which I am Sure you will have until
