ATTACKS
 PR | ' [ EFFECTIVE . ON POLES DEFENSE
Roads Open to Warsaw, But Defenders Still Put Up Determined Fight
 ing Front
By Associated Prss.

Paris, August 12.-The situation
 at Warsaw continues critical. The
 Russian plan of campaign is prov
 ing most effective. It consists of
 delivering successive blows at diff
 ferent points along the front line,
 which tend to disoreanixe the Po-
 fish defense, compelling the Polish
 staff to rush reserves to widely
 separated points.
 The red northern forces have been heavily reinforced and pushed to with in thirty miles of the capital. The Poles are making a desperate stand on defenses hastily thrown up around Pull tusk, and, although badly equipped. half-trained and not too well supplied with ammunition, they are holding their own, according to the latest news reaching Paris. But;the battle is sway ing to and fro, and the issue still is in the balance
 There is little change on the remain. der of the front, except in the south general, Budenny, is creating a new danger. Budenny either can push northward between the Bug and Wis tula rivers and hamper the concentra- tions and movements of the Polish reserves. or move southwestward to turn the Polish defenses on the East Galician rivers. swoop down upon Lem berg. and eventually upon Przemysl and the line of the San river
 The operations of General Wrangel. the anti bolshevik commander in south Russia. can do nothing to relieve the pressure on the Poles, according to French military opinion.
 Wrangei is marching out of the Cri. mea to find on the continent means for feeding the hordes of refugees whe followed his retreat last year.
 Berlin, August 12.--Heavy fighting east of Mlawa. the important city on the Warsaw -Danzig railway which has been reported in bolshevik hands. is told of in a special dispatch to the Allgemeine Zeitung. The Poles. 1t adds. have retreated to Soldau.

 COX FOR SUFFRAGE
 Another appeal to democrats of the Tennessee legislature to ratify ths woman's suffrage amendment way sent tonight by Governor Cox while at Camp Perry Ohio, delivering, his ad- dress at the national rifle meet Upon receipt of message from Governor Roberts of Tennessee stating that the legislature probably would vote to- night, Governor Cox sent the following reply.
 .'The platform presented to the country by n political party is not m evidence of intent hut of good ;, fnith ns well. It carries the specf-
 fcation which will he rendered If the opportunity presents. In the

COX ADVOCATES
 GIVING SOLDIERS
 PROMOTIONS WON
Too Late, He Thinks, to BestOw Earned Rank on Men Who Showed
 Ability to Lead
By A.sesIahd prss

Camp Perry, O., August 12.-Praising the national guardsmen's record in the war. Governor Cox, in his speech here today, said many had failed to receive commissions won by bravery. and de- clared that belated justice now should be accorded them.
 Governor Cox elaborated on theme in his acceptance speech-government aid to ex-service men--declaring many met obstacles on returning to civil life. These, he said, the goverRment should assist wherever possible.
 The governor also cited the value of American craftsmanship in the nations S history, and expressed the hope that America would continue "a nation of sportsmen devoted to the building of health and sinew in the open"
 The occasion of Governor Cox's ad- dress was the presentation of the gov ernor's cup in the national rifle shoot He returned to Columbus tonight, and will make. his next speech. making an address, Saturday at Wheeling, w. Va.
 Expenditure in war of lives and treasure was stressed by the demo cratic candidate in his plea for peace full relations between nations.
 "The cost to the United States.
 he said, "was more than one mi1-
 lion dollars an hour for over two
 years. The total expenae of e22,-
 OOO.oOO.OOO was almost equal to the
 total disbursements of the United
 states government from 170l to
 1918. The army expenditures alone,
 so experts claimed, are a near ap-
 proach to the amount of gold pro-
 duced In the United states from
 the discovery of America to the
 outbreak of the European war,
 and yet the United States spent
 only about One-eighth of the en.
 tire cost of the war and less than
 cne-Afth of the expenditure of the
 allied side.
 If civilization has not had it's lesson, then there Is no hope for it. It could not stand such war. again and sur vive. The genius of men, if thta is happy term, in discussing the horrors of conflict, has always made the last war. the most frightful. When we consider the development in the methods of hu- man destruction between 1914 and 1918 and apply the problem. we are staggered to even think of the possibilities of the sons of man again being brought into com- bat"
 The American soldier, Governor cox declared, knows the meaning of modern warfare.
 LITTLE ROMANCE
 There was very little romance. he continued fin the long hours and the slaughter of the front trench. The thought that must have run through sse mind Of every soldier in the 1idst of t all was how such thing vls possible in modern civilization"
 Regarding the failure to award pro- motions to soldiers whose gallantry had earned honors, Governor Cox said he had given the subject much thought. There was great deal of figa.sng done in the last months of the war. Tho processes of promotion were slow in a great organization. Even after 1t ha1 been won, there were thousands and thousands of boys cited for bravery ana advancement in rank who came home without titular honors which they had

NORTH CAROLINA
 WANTS ID RAT|FY
Strives for Distinction of Being 36th State to Vote
 For Suffrage
By A.oel..sl prsss

Raleigh, N. G., August 12.- The fight to make North Carolina the thirty sixth state to ratify the federal suffrage amendment will be on in ear nest tomorrow when Governor Bickett is scheduled to deliver a special message urging such action by the extraordinary ses- sion of the legislature.
 Anti -suffragists tonight were confident they would defeat any move directed towards ultimate ratification. They claimed sufff- cfent votes in the lower house of the state assembly to end the life of the ratification resolution and to have a few votes to spare.
 Meanwhile, supporters of the cause were pressing strenuousIy in an effort at defection in the ranks of the democrats. who have de- clnrcd against the nation wide suf- frage proposal. They were em- pioying local situations where such would add pressure in forcing antis to jump to the other side, and they were missing no opportu- nfty to throw the weight of na- tionai party orsanisation into the balance.

PONz| SMASH NOW ESTIMATED AROUND
 20 MILLION MARK
Hanover Trust Company Reported Wiped Out and With It a Fortune In
 Massachusetts Funds
By Asseeis,ss rrsss

 Boston, August 12.-Some 10000 investors entrusted a total sum variously estimated at from $15,O0O,OOO to $2O,- 000,000 to Charles Ponzi in a money-making scheme which postal officials today declared to be absolutely impossible of fulfillment.
 Ponzi surrendered to the federal au- thorities today. explaining that he was unable to meet his obligations because ot the closing yesterday of the Han lover Trust Company. where the bulk of his funds were deposited. He was arrested. charged with having used the mails to defraud, arraigned and held in bond of s25,00O for a hearing Au- gust 19. Morris Rudnick, a real estate dealer. furnished the sureties. Mean time a warrant charging the Italian with larceny had been obtained by the state police, and upon leaving the federal building Ponzi was rearrested and held by the city court in $10,o00 pail Tor appearance August 23 Rud- nick again went on Ponzi's bonds.
 developments followed thick and
 fast today. As P0nzi was being
 arraigned before the United States
 eommissioner. Edwin l.. Pride. who
 fs examining the books of the se-
 curitfes Exchange Company for the
 fadApAl natl
 sioner announced 1t had already
 been shown that Ponzi owed
 e7. .OO0, 900.
 state Attorney General Allen, who is conducting a separate investigation made known his opinion, that Ponzi's liabilities would run into the millions.
 HANOVER WIPED OUT
 State Bank Examiner Joseph c. AL len issued statement declaring the capital of the Hanover Trust Com pany. of which. until yesterday, Ponzi was director, was seriously impaired and probably wiped out.
 State Treasurer Burrell attacked the bank commissioner for not having given him opportunity to withdraw state funds before the Hanover was closed. and Governor Coolidge demand cd that Burrell make known how much of the state money had been tied up by the closing of the trust company. Later Burrell notified the governor that the state deposit was e125, 900.
 Ponzis field appears to have included New England and New Jersey.
 The line that formed daily in Pi Alley at the rear of Ponzis School street office appears to have been far from representative of his clients. This was made up largely of A,reigners who were more interested in >etting their money than in protecting their reputa- tions as wise spectators.
 LITTLE FOLK HIT
 Anxious inquiries at the newspaper offices and feverish conversations in downtown restaurants indicated that the proprietors of small businesses, professional men and women. clerks and stenographers by the thousands accepted the bait of<'50 per cent profit in forty-f days" Agents working in offices and factories interested large numbers, particularly among the Ital- Ians. The mystery of Ponzi's methods added to the attractiveness of his prom ises. It is said in many cases the pos abilities of profitably exchanging American dollars for French francs and francs for Italian lire and the lat ter for something else seemed plausible
