Three detectives of the East Twenty
second Street station spent one hour
yesterday morning watching door

in the recovery of merchandise valued
at $4,000.
The detectives were Donlin, Gilman

PARIS, Aug. (By The Associated

sea. Military circles point out that
the Polish capital is now hemmed in
from the northeast, east and southeast
and consider its fall o question of
days, perhaps hours.
The latest Polish communiou3 an
nouncing the Bolsheviki have captured
frzasnysz and are moving westward
toward Mlawa and Ciechanow, has Gre
ated most painful impression in
farls, the afternoon papers announc-
ing that the capture of the latter town
is foregone conclusion.
Rumors, absolutely unconfrmed were
circulated in the Stock Exchange this

a complete StandStill.
Gather for Final Struggle
General Haller's newly formed army
occupies strongly intrenche6 position
in the fork between the Narew and
and Bug rivers.
In the opinion Of military observers.
the principal danger for the Poles is
the advance along the Prussian from
tier, because it would force them to
extend their front westward when thew
need to keep their armies concen,
trated as much as possible east of
Warsaw. The Poles thus far have been
able to ignore this advance, which is
merely demonstration, but it is con-
sidered likely that the Red staff will
avoid battle until stronger forces can
be pushed toward Mlawa.
Heavy Fighting Continues
Heavy fighting continues on the

NASHVILLE, Aug. 9.-Chances for

lature, which has opened it's extra
session, are much brighter to-day than
they have been for some time. The
following facts contribute to the i'm
provement in the situation:
The strong tone of the message of
Governor Roberts to the Legislature
has brought several members over
to the suffrage ranks.
The action of the Republican eau
Gus, although roundly denounced by
Farley P. Christensen, Farmer-Labor
party Presidential candidate, as
direct betrayal of the Republican
platform pledge" really shows the
Republican legislators strongly for
ratification and determined to put
any possible defeat of suffrage in
Tennessee squarely up to the Demo-
Gratis as the responsible parties.
The burying of the hatchet by va
rious factions Of Democratic women
in the state under the leadership of
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait, president .
OF the National American Woman's
Suffrage Association, has encouraged
Governor Roberts to a determined
advocacy of suffrage and he will put
his shoulder to the wheel to achieve
ratification.
Result Of Caucus
The Republican caucus was held at
10 o'clock this morning. Five Senators
and twenty members Of the House were
there. After the close of the caucus
it was learned that all but one of the
Senators present and fourteen of
the Representatives will vote for ratif-
cation.
Mrs. Harriet Taylor Upton, vice
chairman of the Republican National
Committee, was the principal speaker
before the caucus. She told the Ten
nessee Republicans that she was here
as the representative of the Republican
National Committee, to present to
them the committees views on ratitica-
ton.
"From business standpoint the ma
tional committee looks on it as press
ing need that Tennessee Republicans
vote for suffrage" she said. Il do not

the national committees representa-
tive. That body thinks that, as Federal
suffrage is bound to come sooner or
later, it is we'll to make Tennessee the
thirty state to ratify and clear
the tracks for the November election"
Mrs. Upton told the members of SEN
ator Harding's interest Nn ratification
and read to them the telegram she had
received from him, which was pub
lished in Monday mornings papers.
She was listened to closely by the Re-
publicans, who were impressed with
her diagnosis of the national situa-
ton.

Following Mrs. Upton, Alf Taylor,
Republican candidate for Governor;
Ex-Governor Ben w. Hooper, National
Committeeman John Overall, Repre-
