Fire destroyed the pia drier, con-

Grove Farm about 2 o'clock yesterday

produced Photographic copies of

Mr.. Marsh told Sen. Kenyon,
chairman OF the investigating COM
mittee, that the original lists were
either in the hands of Gov. Cox or
the department Of justice Asked
why they had not been turned over

needed for this years campaign by
their party. Mr.. White made a

POLISH OFFICIALS
WILL COMPLY WITH
REQUEST FROM Us
Polish Troops Will Abstain
From Transgression of
Russian Territory.
By Associated Press: f:

WASHINGTON, Sept. Entire
satisfaction was expressed, Wednes-
day. by the state department Off
cials with the formal reply of tho
Polish government to the American
note requesting a Polish deelara-
ton 10 abstain from transgression OF
Russian territory.
Poland is understood TO have re-
piled that strategic considerations
must govern the halting Of her arm
les in their pursuit of the bOlsheviki
at the frontier line of Poland tenta-
lively fixed by the supreme council.
Suggestion had been made by the
American government in its note
that Poland make clear that her in
tentions toward Russia were not i'm
perialistic and that her armies
should not advance beyond the eth
nographic line laid down by the SUI
preme council.
Deliver Reply.
The reply Of the Polish govern
ment was delivered TO the state de-
partment Tuesday by the Polish
minister. Prince Lubomirski. An
nouncement was made at the state
department late Wednesday that
the American and Polish notes
would be made public at once, but
this plan was cancelled later. the
reason not being given.
The first portion of the reply con
sists of an expression of gratitude OF
the Polish government at the atti-
tude assumed by the United States
IN the American note 10 the Italian
ambassador on the Russo Polish
situation. The second portion,
which is a memorandum addressed
to Prince Lubomirski and which al
so was delivered TO the state depart
ment, serves as the specific reply OF
the Polish government 10 the Amer
lean note.
While insisting that the Polish
government is in entire accord with
the United States in the contention
that Russian territory should be re-
spected, the note declares that PO-
land is forced 10 consider the seri-
Gus consequences likely TO ensue
from the abandonment of the pres
ent offensive against the bolsheviki
upon a fixed line without satisfac-
tory guarantees.
Describe Position.
officials OF the state department
have described the position OF the
United States towards the Polish ad-
vance as midway between that OF
France and Great Britain" The posi-
tion OF Great Britain Is understood
10 be that the Polish armies should
Immediately hait upon the frontier
line now reached while France has
cOntended that the armies should
advance until a strategic point be
yOnd the line was attained
Il is believed that the United
States now takes the position that
the Polish armies may continue 70
press their attacks upon the bOlshe-
Wiki. even II the frontier line should
be crossed so long as assurances
are forthcoming that Poland's in
tentions toward Russia are not i'm
perialistic and that her armies
