STOCKHOLM, Sweden, July 15.-
Taking courage apparently from the
successes of their armies against the
Poles, the Russian soviet delegates en-
gagged at fDorpat in peace negotiations
with representatives Of the Finland
have adopted an arrogant attitude with
regard to several questions involved
between the two countries.
They now demand the International

tain portions allotted to Finland. Es-

to carry on it's own system of fortifi-
cations, but allow the others free ac-
cess to all parts of the guff. Unless
Finland accedes to this demand 1t is
reported th46soviet delegates threaten
that something very undesirable will
happen to the Firms.
The same5 veAed threat covers soviet
demands regarding the Finnish terri
tory in kareiiasg aef AZ Ftgfse. ises ~
! Although the negotiations have last
ed more than a month the soviet dele
gates still seek delays to postpone the
final signing of peace, apparently in
the hope that further successes against
the Poles will give them the excuse
further to strengthen their demands.
They are understood to have waited
also for a decision by the league of
nations with reference to the dispute
over the Aland Islands, probably with
a view to advancing claim to the
islands as Russian territory.

RED ADVANCE ON POLES
ALARMING TO BRITAIN
Greater Uneasiness Shown Than
Over Labor's Threat
in Ireland.
BY EDWARD PRICE BELL.


Daily News. Copyright. 1920.
LONDON, July l5.-Many Britishers
are more anxious over the Russo
Polish situation than ever over labor's
threat concerning Ireland. Disgust
with war is profound and any compli-
cation involving the use of British
troops in Poland would evoke national
resentment, il not actual resistance.
Organized labor generally distrusts
the government. especially Winston
Churchill, the secretary for war, whom
II suspects of double dealing and
whose warlike looking operations are
not only unapproved. but disapproved
by the nation. Admittedly the gov
ernment, beset by the Russian and
Polish difficulties, more or less brow
beaten by the Germans, harried by
the Sim Feiners, bullied by British or
ganized labor and faced with a ma
tional repugnance of further military
measures. occupies a position of great
danger and must walk with uncom-
mon wariness.

MAY LOSE SEAT
(centinusd from, Page ons)

AS a result of the increase Of 49,
710,s42 in population during the past
ten years, fifty new seats must be
added to the House to prevent any
state from losing any part of its
present representation. Should the
present membership of AS be left
unchanged by increasing the basis OF
apportionment there will have to be
a transfer of 10 seats now held by
IL states to nine other states.
For the past half century the
precedent has been to increase the
size of the House SO as to prevent
loss Of existing representation by
any state. AS result the House has
grown from 243 to 455 members, with
only three states-Maine, New
Hampshire and Vermont-losing one
member each in the last so years.
It this precedent is followed this
year, FIVE additional representatives
seats must be given to California,
four each to New York, Ohio, Penn
sylvania and Michigan; three to IL
linois and Texas; two to Massachu-
sets, New Jersey and North Car
DINA. and one each to Alabama, Arr
IONA, Connecticut. Georgia. Maryland.
Montana, New Mexico. Oklahoma
Oregon, South Carolina. Tennessee.
Washington. West Virginia, Wiscon-
sin. Virginia, Arkansas and Mime
sofa.
While the present basis of appor-
tionment is 211,s77 inhabitants or its
iN~ f,,.n To In nS n u a
district, Congress can increase the
basis to 219.427 without causing any
loss. To advence beyond the latter
figure will mean that Maine would
lose one seat with the net result of
4S new seats in Congress.
Congressional leaders are strongly
opposed to any large increase in the
House as they regard the present
mem bership of 435 as unwieldy. When
the House census committee. headed
by Representatives Siegel of New
York. begins consideration of the
problem, effort will be made to hold
down the increase. but pressure for
the increase is expected to come from
the states which would benefit from
a larger House.
Only once-in 1s40-has the size of
the House been reduced. One other
time. just before the Civil War the
apportionment was held down, with
the resulting loss of seats falling most
heavily on the southern states. By
holding the House membership to
435. gains would be distributed with
three to California. two to Michigan
and Ohio, and one each to Connect
cut. New jersey, North Carolina, Ok
lahoma, Texas and Washington. To
Offset these gains. Missouri would be
forced to lose two Congressman. while
Indiana. Iowa Kansas, Kentucky
louisiana Maine. Mississippi, Neb-
raska. Rhode Island. Vermont and
Virginia would lose one each. All
other states would retain their pres
emf numerical delegations.

PONZI PLEADS
NOT GUILTY TO
FRAUD CHARGES

Boston, Oct. S---Charles Ponzi to-
day pleaded not guilty to two in
dictments returned by the Federal
grand jury, in which he was charged
with using the mails in a scheme to
defraud. There were 43 counts in
each indictment, the allegation in
one group being that he had prom
ised to pay so per cent interest when
he was unable'to do so, and in the
other that he represented falsely
that he was dealing in international
postal coupons. Bail was continued
at $4,000 in default OF which fonzi
has been in jail for the past two
months. His counsel made no argu-
ment today at the conclusion Of
hearings before a referee in bank
ruptcy on the questions whether
Ponzi was solvent, whether he had
made any preferred payments and
whether he had any partners.
