TRUCE DELAY IS
 SERIOUS MATTER
May Cause Abandonment of Big
 Allied Conference

London, Aug. 4.-Postponement of armistice negotiations between Poland and soviet Russia is viewed here as creating a difficult and anxious situa. ton likely to involve the abandonment of the proposed conference between representatives of the Allies. Poland, the Russian Bolsheviki and the Rus sian border states for the settlement of the Polish question.
 London newspapers take widely divergent views regarding the Bolshe- wiki attitude in demanding negotia- tions for peace coincident with the arrangement of an armistice. Some declare the action of the soviet gov ernment is perfectly justifiable and reasonable, while others indignantly denounce it as evidence of deter imitation to allow the Bolshevik armies to reach Warsaw and there dictate terms equivalent to a complete surrender of the Poles and the en- forcement upon them of a soviet form of Govarnment. In the latter quarters it is stated one of the soviet armistice conditions was that the Poles must dsarm, give guarantees they would not receive military aid from the Allies and undertake not to renew aggression against Russia
 The British government has issued no statement on the situation nor has it indicated in any way how it will act but the report is current it will suspend negotiations for the resump- ton of trade relations with soviet Russia. The cabinet held an urgent meeting yesterday and Premier Lloyd George has further delayed his al ready postponed vacation.
 In the meantime fighting continues and the Bolsheviki apparently are ad vancing successfully. It is reported however. that the Poles may deliver a blow which may alter the present military position.

MISSOURI RETURNS
 ARE NEARLY ALL IN
Atkinson and Hyde Are Leading
 for Party HOnOrS

St. Louis, Aug. 4.-Indications on the face of returns received carly to- day from yesterdays Missouri primary were that John Nj. Atkinson, St. Louis and Arthur NJ. Hyde of Tren- ton were the gubernatorial nominees respectively of the democratic and republican parties.
 The Globe Democrat, an independ- ent republican paper stated today that on the face of these returns Hyde's plurality would range from 10000 to 0,000 and that of Atkinson would approximate 25,000.
 The senatorial race on the face of incomplete returns had apparently narrowed down to between Dwight F. Davis and Senator Selden P. Spen- cer for the republican nomination.
 For the democratic senatorial nom- ination incomplete returns from 392 precincts in St. Louis. Breckenridge Long was leading.
 Political observers asserted nom ination of Atkinson and Hyde would be a clear cut victory for prohibit tion, as both ran on dry" platforms. Hyde also demanded that National Committeeman Jacob L. Babler and State Chairman w. l.. Cole resign on account or their connection with the distribution of the Lowden and Hard ing campaign funds respectively.

TURKS BEGIN FIGHT
 ON 60 MILE FRONT
Bitter Offensive Started Against
 Greek Forces

Consta ntinople. Aug. (By The Associated Prcss) Turkish national ist forces opened bitter offensive against the Greeks along a 60 mile front in Asia Mino>. the battle line extending along the Bagdad railroad westward.
 Greek forces in Anatolia are being reinforced from Thrace and in con- junction with British attachments have advanced eastward from Ismid to Ada bazar. The Greeks and British probably will counter against the Turkish action in the Smyrna district with movements of their forces through Anatolian and Black Sea ports. thus taking railways and oc- cupying all strategic points.
 Izzet Pasha, former grand Nizier. has been commissioned by the sul- tan's government to 20 10 Angora and attempt to reconcile the nationalists.
 Desperate attacks against Greek forces which have advanced beyond their area of occupation were made on Sunday by Turkish nationalist forces at Simav, about 110 miles northeast of Smyrna. The action last ed 24 hours and the Greeks were obliged to retreat having lost 50 dead and 100 wounded. They were not pursued.

GOMPERS LAUGHS AT WHAT O'CONNOR SAID
Insists He Must Be Speaking for
 Himself Alone

Atlantic City. Aug. 4.-President Gompers. of the American Fedora ton of Labor, declared today that the report coming from Marion alleging that T. V. o'Connor. chief of the In- ternational Longshoremen's union, had promised aid to Senator Harding, evidently was an inaccuracy. unless he was speaking personally.
 "O'Connor is we'll versed in the sen- timents of the federation rega rding pledges of political support" he re- marked. and he is not clothed with any official authority to promise as- sistance in a political sense from the federation"
 President Gompers also doubted that OConnor had suggested prefer ential help from the union in which he is a leader.
 The executive council of the feder- ation today was occupied with hear ings from various trades or jurisdic- tional appeals. one coming from the metal polishers and the other from the jeweiry workers No decisions were ready to be announced.

Rain lnrerfereS with
Political Meeting
Splendid Address Given By Fred Z.
Putnam Monday Evening to
Small Audience

Unfavorable weather, general in
difference, or some other cause inter-
ferred materially with the audience
which attended the political address
given by Fred E. Putnam, Railroad
and Warehouse commissioner at the
Junior High School auditorium Mon
day evening.
Mr.. Putnam reviewed at length the
things accomplished for the benefit
of the farmers since the state organ
ined back in 1858. He showed
where Minnesota was in the front
van of legislation of benefit to the
agricultural classes, and every law
placed on the statute books by Re
publican legislature
Mr. Putnam insisted that Mr..
Townley's plan of bringing outside
socialistic organizers into the state
was a real detriment to the farmers
whom they were processing to serve.
The organizers in practically every
instance were not farmers. The
Townley program if carried out was
not only revolutionary but destrue-
tive. The Socialistic idea is OF
course that all land owned by indi-
viduals shall be confiscated and re-
vert to the state.
He showed that it was decidedly
more expensive to operate state or
government utilities than privately
controlled business. He explained
this by stating that no public bust
ness is as carefully managed as PR
vately controlled business, and Of
course this is true. Prior to the
breaking out of the war it cost II
cents to haul ton a mile on the
American railroads, while in Ger
many the government roads cost
$1.37, France $1.31 and the average
in all Europe was $1.46.
In his address Mr.. Putnam con-
fined himself to facts and wisely re-
Trained from personal abuse OF
Townley and his leaders, insisting
that the farmers should organize but
they should control their own organ
izations.
He reviewed the official record OF
J. A. o. Preus, Louis Collins, Attor-
ney General Hilton, and the other
Republican candidates, showing that
they were eminently qualified for
the positions they were seeking and
men who safeguard not only the in
terests of the farming community
but all interests of the state in fair
intelligent and conscientious man.
