NJ Krassin ana Kamtnaeff, Of tho
Russian soviet delegation hero. were
in the Astrangers' gallery,
Mr.. Loyd-George decliired the Po-
lish attack was not justified in the
opinion OF the British I government,
and that the soviet government, in
any conditions Of peace was entitled
to take into account the facts Of the
attacks made by the Polai upon Rus
ala, and that those attacks were de-,
livered despite the warnings OF the
allies to Poland. Tho soviet he de-
clared. was entitled to demand such
guarantees as would be exacted by,
any power against a repetition Of at-f
tacks Of that kind. What. was chal-
lenged he said, was that nothing
justifies retaliation, replisal or pun
ishment which goes to the extent Of
wiping out national existence."
Apart altogether from the moraa
right Of any power to demand the ex-
tinction OF another nation as punish
ments for the aggression Of its gov
ernment;s Premier Lloyd George
said. Europe has to b., considered.
The Independence OF Poland and it's
existence as an Independent nation is
an essential part OF the structure Of
European peace. Repartition Of Po-
land would not merely be a crime; it
would be q peril. and we have to con-
slider both these contingencies as q
basis for our policy"
The premier declared that the sole
purpose OF the allied policy was to Sc
cure peace on basis Of independence
for ethnographtcal Poland. He said.
the Hythe conference stgreed that
the allies should adviss Poland to
endeavor to Negotiate an armistice
to make peace as long as such in
dependence was recognized. That
recommendation has been forwarded
to the soviet government, the pre-
mier stated.
He pointed out that the allies, sug-
gested to the soviet that they de-
clare a truce Monday at midnight.

RUTH MUST TRAVEL
AHEAD FOR RECORD

NEW YORK. July 2o.-Although
Babe Ruth broke his own ma jor league
home-run record. made last year, by
slamming out his thirtieth and thirty
first circuit clouts of the present sea-
son at the Polo Grounds yesterday, he
still has quite a distance to go to sur
pass the worlds record made by Perry
Werden. of the Minneapolis Club of
the Western League. in 1905. when
the latter amassed a total of forty
five homers.
1t is quite likely. however. that the
Babe will even beat Werdens mark
this year. as the present season has
just passed the midway point.
Ruth's second home run yesterday
enabled him to exceed Ping Bodies
total of thirty homers, made in 1910,
when the Yankees center fielder was
with the San Francisco team of the
Pacific Coast League. In addition,
there are five other minor league
parks which the Babe has yet to
reach.
Il. Z. Calvert. of the Muskogee team
of the Western Association, collected
forty-three circuit wallops in 1917:
Frank Roth. of the Evansville team
of the Central League, slammed out
thirty-siN in 1901; Besse, of the Nc.

more than passing interest. New ideas

History has been made here. The
cannon-ball service of Mclaughlin

that of Tilden, who judiciously mikes

Johnston, too, has introduced some
thing in hard hitting.
British critics are not slow TO
realize that the net game here will
need bracing and the introduction OF
some new blood. 1t is realized that
Tilden is likely to be supreme on the
courts for at least five years. Gar

matches, looks to be conner and

week or so, but he would, indeed, be
rash who would lay any bets right
now that the ancient and creakinG
veteran, Jimmy Austin, won't finish
on the third corner for the 1920
Brownies.
Nevertheless, Austin is due, to be
supplanted. For several seasons ef-
forts have been made to find his sue

have to cut off Jimmy's uniform, as

is nearing fast.

The Browns hurlers are going good

Allan Sothoron, and Dixie Davis.
Jimmy Burke has wonderful young
southpaw in Bayne, and two promis-
ing lads in NanGilder and Burwcll.
Today the Jungaleers are due to
close their present visit. Tomorrow
the poor, battered Griffs will enjoy a
much needed rest, and, if the past
means anything, a majority of them
will be found at the bathing beach.
However. splashing around in the
