GIRL WAS UNNERyED.
Hence Conflicting Reports in Case OF

police on a charge Of the murder of her
five-months-old baby An outstanding
told by the girl 70 the police was cor

girl was that the story could not be cor
roborated just az that time.
The girl told the officers where her baby
had been left, but when they went to
the house. indicated they learned that the
people had moved and 1t was not know
where they had gone This is what arous-
ed the suspicion of the authorities. 1t
was then that closer questioning was re-
sorted 20 by the police in an effort to dis
cover some new clue
When closely questioned the girl start

and so many accounts of a conflicting

did not know which story TO believe Fright

New York, July 1.-THE newly form

cording to Eamonn de Valera, "Presi-
dent of the Irish Republic, y who got back
to the Waldorf-Astoria yesterday, after
having failed to perssade the Rcpub-
lican and Democratic conventions to do

"I do not know said Mr.. dc Valera,
''that any comment of mine is neces-
sary. The people know the purpose which
took me to the conventions, they know

know what the results have been.
1t was suggested that he had hardly
got what he had been after, and he re-
piled, THAT is so. He was asked whether
he was satisfied with the action OF the
third party.
Perfectly The third party has un-
ambiguously adopted recognition of tho

Mrs. Gait Goes to Tennessee to

New York, July 17.-Mrs. Carrie
Chapman Gait, president Of the American
National Woman Suffrage Association,
who left yesterday for Nashville, Tenn,
said Just before starting that Senator
Hardings reliance on the record Of the
Republi lean Party ON the Federal Suffrage
Amendment, was sure to prove disastrous
to the party as an argument with the
woman voter. Mrs Gait went TO Nashville
TO confer with the Tennessee members Of
the association, who have the ratifca-
tion campaign in that State in charge
She will also confer with Gov. Roberts
as to ratification.
For the Republicans 20 bring the

once too wide and too remote, and there

by the Pripet Marshes and furnished with
a lateral railway all the wny from wilma
in the north to Rovno in the south. But
numbers were manifestly lacking To
maintain line from the Dwina 20 the
Dnicpcr and in attempting too much the
Poles have suffered almost fatal defeat.
Exactly what method of Intervention
tho western nations can now employ re-
mains doubtful. There can be no question
Of sending troops, because the public
sentiment in all nations is manIfcstly
hostile to any such adventure The al
tentative is recognition Of the Bolshevist
government, or Mt least, the ending OF the
blockade and the beginning Of economic
relations. In other words the moment
scens approaching when the western
nations after having made half dozen
futile eforts To defeat and destroy the
Bolshevists, will have to restore TO buying
them off to save Poland
German rejoicing over Polish reverscs
is natural. Poland now will not be
great power, at most she can hardly hope
To do more than keep the territory allot~
ted her at Paris, which would give her a
population OF little more than % 900, 600.
Moreover, the recent events may excr-
cise decisive influence upon the plebis-
cites in Sileeia and Teechon, as well as in
, East Prussia, in all of which districts the
population, unmistakably Polish, may
still prefer German or Czecho-Slovak
rule rather than union with Poland
whose future hss been 30 compromised by
the Russian adventure.
That the western nations will sit by
and sec Poland destroyed seems in
credible To be sure they have warned
Poland against the extreme aspirations
which she has sought TO realize. But the
arrival Of Bolshevists west Of the Vistula
must be now source Of apprehension and
might easily have tremendous effect
upon Germany. An alliance between
Russia and Germany has been and re-
mains the nightmare of all Of the west OF
Europe.
In any event the Polish defeat is bound
TO have very far reaching consequences,
not tho least Of which may be the final
surrender by the western nations Of all

Now York, July l8.-Frnpncntary ~
are the bulletins reporting the progress Of
military events Of the Russo-Polish front,
there is no longer any doubt a. to the ex-
tent of the Polish disaster. The northern
front has collapsed and the Dwina bar
REF has been lost. To the south the news is
even moro unhappy, the Russians have
taken Rovno, the most considerable of the
old group of fortified towns, from which
the Russians lAunchnl the successful
offensive against Lcmbsrg in 1914.
Poland u now without any adequate
barrier of a natural character against
Bolshevist invasion, eithcr from the south,

Lcmbrg railway, or on the north, by the
Vilna-G -Grodno-WArAw linz toward the
capital, itself Thus tho Pripct Marshes
havc boon turned, and ~ = consequence
in the north and south alike tho enemy is
marked by the Paris Conference as the
future boundaries Of Poland.
The proof Of the disaster in the north
is found in tho reports coming from
Eithuania that the Poles hnvc recognized
the Independence Of tho Lithuanian state.
Ii had boen the hope Of Polish patriots to
restore the old union between Iithuania
and Poland, which subsidized for so many
centuries before the partition. This dream
was violently opposed by the Lithuanians
and in defeat the Poles have manifestly
sought TO enlist Lithuanian support to
repel the enemy, by snYrenderins their
claims To the northern territory.
The dream Of the restoration OF the
Great Poland of l772 and preceding
periods has then gone slimmering What
remains to be decided il whether the
Bolshevisfs will pause NJ the frontiers
marked by the Paris Conference or con-
tinuc, at least until they have laid hands
upon Eastern Galicia, where the Poles are
in n minority and their title must be sub
jected to a plebiscite few years hence.
Actually Polish conditions have reach
cd a crisis in which, il the western nations
do not intervene, Poland itself may be
lost, either IA state altogether, or rs a
barrier against Bolshevlsm, for there IL
little doubt that n continuation OF the
present unhappy course Of events will lead
to Bolshcvist rising within Poland, itself
which may end all resistance and bring
tho Bolshevists sqlarely to the Prussian
frontier.

because the Poles possessed a considerable
army and were animated by real ma
tional spirit. But they were not supported
by the western nations. France alone was
favorable, the British government hsd n
certain sympathy. but British labor was so
hostile that munitions and supplies could
not be sent by British ships.

BIG DEMONSTRATION
/. FOR DEMOCRAT TIC LEADER
Brass Bands and Great Crowd at
Washington Station to
Meet Cox.

Washington, July 17.-Govemor Cox
WAS the recipient of one of the biggest
demonstrations ever accorded a visitor on
his arrival here this afternoon for his con-
ference with President Wilson.
The commissioners OF the District of
Columbia met Governor Cox in the
President tial Room at the Union Station
and after few words of welcome escorted
the governor to waiting automobile, in
which he went to the home of Judge T..
T. Ansberry, former member of Congress
where he will be entertained during his
stay in Washington.
Every Democratic organization here
WAS on hand at the station, and this
host was augmented by thousands of
government employees, as Saturday is a
half holiday at all of the departments.
At least six bands were at the station to
aid in the reception.
Governor Cox was accompani ed to
Washington by former Representative
George White of Ohio. who acted as one
of the governors campaign managers pre-
liminary TO the convention. Judge Ans
berry stated that no detailed plans have
been made for Governor Coxs stay here.
He will remain quietly at the Ansberry
home, No. 2S39 Woodland Drive, until
President at 10. 80 O'Clock tomorrow morn
ing
No information whatever concerning
the forthcoming conference between the
President. Governor Cox and Assistant
Secretary of Navy Roosevelt, the Vice
Presidential candidate, was given at the
White House except the intimation that
the result of the conference will be ex-
tremely disconccrting" TO those prophets
who have been circulating stories Of wide
differences OF opinion between the Presi-
dent and Governor Cox on the League Of
Nations.
Immediately after the conference with
the President Governor Cox will meet the
Washington correspondents in the exeou-
tive offices of the White House and mako a
statement. The President also is expected
TO issue a statement Sunday evening or
Monday morning.
The Republican nominee will not have
monopoly on front porch" campaign
ing, because President Wilson is going
to do a lot of that sort of campaigning
in aiding Governor Cox. The President
will not address large gatherings, but on the
spacious south veranda of the White
House he is going to receive callers, die
tate letters and hold conferences designed
TO aid the Ohio governor in his campaign.
