BLAMES CHICAGO AFFINITY

CHICAGO, July 20.-Mrs. Sarah
Feist Jonas is gloriously happy,
Her husband, Julius Jonas, pros
porous sales-manager, is lying in
Montrose Hospital, his life hanging
in the balance and his eyes blinded
by a bullet from the pistol of Miss
Pouline Meglige, for three years his
soul mate" who forever closed the
chapter Of her affair with her mid
dle-aged affinity by shooting her
self.
But even so Mrs. Jonas is happy.
She has won out over the woman who
tried by every means to win her hus-
band away from her.
Letters which passed between Jonas
and Miss Meglige and the girls diary
today added new details Of the ro
nance between the two. Despairing
of his return to her after she had
temporarily won him away from his
wife and family, Miss Meglige wrote
in her diary that Life holds nothing
for me without julie and | am ready
for our last night together and the
end of il all"
Sitting in the drawing room in her
Addison street apartment today Mrs.
Jonas told of her triumph. She utter
ly forgave her husband for what she
called his "misstep."
READY TO RECEIVE HI -.
"And he Is coming back to .he and
the children" she ended triumphantly.
.The doctor hopes that he can save
one of his eyes. 1t is a small hope.
but / have faith But blind or not,
II will be my julie, and that is all /
ask"
"If you expect me to talk about
Pauline Meglige, / must disappoint
you," she began. She shot my julie
and killed herself because he told
her at their last meeting that he
loved me and would be true to me.
That's why she did what she did and
it shows the kind of a woman she
was.
you probably want to know il I
have forgiven my husband she con
tinued, II have with all my heart.
This woman tried by every vile to
win him away from me. He came
back to us last March and we have
been supremely happy since. He was
true and he remained true, despite
her bounding him day and night.
"The doctors say today that they
might be able to save one of his eyes.
It is our prayer that this is true. But
whether IL Is or not, he is coming
back to me when he bets well. l have
already rented another apartment
where we can be more alone. Now
is the time l can show my taith and
there will be no faltering.
"If 1t was not for my faith in God
and in julie l would have been so
much clay long ago.
GLORIOUsLY HAPPY, SHE SAYS.
"The walls of my home are always
strong enough to keep love in," smiled
Mrs. Jonas. "Jule and I have been
sweethearts since he. was eighteen
and was seventeen. lie is now
forty-eight and / am forty-seven.
That Is thirty years and, God help us,
there will be thirty years more OF
love for u.s., julie made n misstep

ARMY Of REDS
MOVES AHEAD
Advancing at Average Of
Twelve Miles Daily Along
Northern Battle Front.

BERLIN, July 20.-The Bolshevik
army on the northern end of the Rus
so-Polish battle front is advancing at
the rate OF twelve to fifteen miles
day according to press dispatches
from Warsaw today.
Using Minsk as a base Of operations,
the Russians are making storm at
tacks against the Polish positions de-
Tending Novogrudok, Baranovitishi,
and the Oginski canal. On the south
ern end of the front the Russians are
reported to have captured Kamenetz
Podolsk.
Novogrudok is eighty miles east
Of the fortress of Grodno. Baranovit-
shl is an important railway city: five
lines converging there. Kamenetz
Podolsk is in old Russia only ten
miles from the pre-war border OF
Galicia (Hungary).

The foregoing cablegram does not
indicate clearly whether the Rus

have merely entered the province OF

their races for Americas cup.
only light breeze was blowing.
SHAMROCK IN LEAD.
Sir Thomas Lipton's big green
yacht got away in the lead. 1t looked
from the press boat like Resolute de-
liberately allowed Shamrock to start
first. The ballooner on Shamrock
would not break out as Shamrock
slipped across the line, and was part
ly hauled down.
Five minutes after the start Reso-
lutte had nearly caught Shamrock.
The official starting time was given
as follows: Shamrock, 11:15:48; Reso-
lutte, 11:16:16.
At 1872 Resolute passed Shamrock
to leeward.
Today's race is being run on a tri-
angular course, the first ten-mile log
being a reach south, southeast; the
second a heat west by north, and the
third a reach to the finish line, north
east by north.
Captain William P. Burton was
sailing the Shamrock, and his wife
was acting as timekeeper.
After the race started, Resolute,
even though she had started behind
Shamrock, was leading by fifty
yards.
Sail handling on Shamrock was
badly bungled. The crew had a great
deal of trouble with Shamrocks
ballooner.
At 11:3O Resolute had increased her
lead to 200 yards. She was slip
ping along smoothly and fast.
Shamrock was falling behind be.
cause her three headsails refused to
fill. 1t looked as IL Captain Burton
was again in trouble through bad
jud dgment and sail setting.
At II: :35 Resolute was 300 yards
ahead of Shamrock. Lipton's skip
per at that time lowered his
fore stays sail and lib and set an
loon forestay sail. Shamrock still

REsOLUTE FAvORITT.
Resolute was a prime favorite in
the betting today. She had many
hackers at odds Of to 5 and to 3.
Several enthusiasts made wagers that
Shamrock will not win another race.
The contest today was scheduled to
be sailed over a triangular course OF
thirty miles.
The usual armada Of pleasure and
excursion craft OF all kinds steamed
out OF the Hook" for todays race.

Resolute was scheduled to enjoy
a greater handicap today as the re-

"Not officially. Probably the peace

By Hugh Baillie, United Press Staff
Correspondent
WASHINGTON, April ia dra.
matte, eleventh-hour reappearance OF
President Wilson in the political
arena is being planned, according to
a persistent report in circulation
among Washington politicians today.
The plan is said to be to have the
president suddenly plunge into the
campaign, probably late next month.
One of his first acts would be to send
a message ito congress asking II 10
remain in Washington thorugh the
summer and pass legislation which
he would urge Should such pro-
gram be carried out. it is expected
the message would be followed by a
public appearance Of the president
and a speech by him.
The plan, according to these re-
ports, would be carried out to give
force to demand to be made by
Wilson that the democratic conven'
tion nominate a candidate to run
on a league of nations platform with
blanks praising achievements of the
administration and promising to car
ry on it's policies-in other words,
"Wilson man"
The story apparently is based on
the idea that Wilson is in better
health than generally supposed and
is awaiting the psychological mo-
ment to resume greater activity. IN
support of this it is pointed out that
he is attending to his official duties
as usual and that cabinet members
saw no evidences Of illness when he
presided at the cabinet session last
week: also, all democratic presiden.
tial possibilities except A. Mitchell
Palmer are keeping in the back
ground. evidently not knowing what
Wilson intends to do, and at demo-
cratic national headquarters the idea
of a pre-convention campaign such
as the republicans are conducting IS
deprecated.
Cancellation of Wilson'S plan for
spending the summer at Woods Hole,
Mass, is likewise regarded as an in
dication that there is something in
the wind"

The board members said the Es1h-.

The rule would tend to prevent

to deal with the outlaw strikers.
Under this situation the estab-

their grievance before the railroad

In reply to McHugh's request,
Chairman Barton. Of the board, called
attention to the rule. The board, ne
said. had adopted the rule IN con-

McHugh said the men he repre-
