The French foreign office regards
the soviet terms to Poland, which the
British premier read in the house OF
commons last night as only preiimi-
nary, and it Is convinced that the so-
Wet government later would exact
much harsher terms.
The ministry of foreign affairs said
the soviet governments anxiety with
regard to General WrangePs success
was due to its knowledge that he was
the most competent anti-bolshevikf
leader who had yet appeared.
The French believe General Wran-
gel shows more promise of overturn-

Poles, General Denikine or Admiras

The Associated Press correspondent
just arrived here has observed these
conditions in crossing Russia and ST.
IBERIA all the way from V1adivostok to
Moscow and Petrograd. His arrival in
Finland followed deportation from
Moscow because the authorities had
not given advance authorization for
crossing Siberia. In Finnish surround
ings, he is enabled to send a uncen-
sored account of the straits Of the
Russian people as hurried observed
while he and number of refugees
made the first trip OF Americans across
Russian in the last two years.
Cry for Food and Clothing.
Everywhere in all this trip from one
end Of Russia to the other, the cry.
for food and clothing was heard. 1t
was voiced by the old Russian peasant
type at the Chinese frontier where the
correspondent was first brought into
Russian territory. 1t was heard again
through the heart of Russia, where
the crews of locomotives were clad In
ragged garments, with sandal-like
shoes braided from the bark Of trees.
AS they stocked their engines they beg
ged for black bread from the group of
foreign refugees who were passengers
on the train from Moscow to the Fin
nish frontier.
The appeal for the necessities Of
living is universal, except from the
extra rationed class of higher military
and civil government authorities.
To Nikolai Lenine, according to the
accepted report siRs Atoseows is attribut-
ed the statement that the Russian peo-
pie cannot pass through another win
ter like the last. Even now, stories
are circulated for popular consump-
tion that Lenine himself is suffering
for want of food because of his insist
ence upon sharing the plight OF tho
people. The story goes that he refuses
more than his allotted share of blacn
bread-three-e e-eighths Of pound daily

that If she is overthrown by the Rus

not only to "overbearing might but

Washington, Aug. 11.-Great Brit
ain, France and the other allied and
associated powers have been given
copies of the American government s
note to Italy announcing the policy OF
the United States in favor of the pres
ervation Of the territorial integrity not
alone of Poland, but of Russia as well.
At the same time means are being
found, it was stated today officially,
for the note to reach. the Russian r-v-
pie themselves.
Whether there will be further ex-
changes between America and the al
lies will depend largely. it was said,
upon events in Poland.
Divergence OF Views.
While the United States and the al
lies apparently are in accord as to the
future of Poland, the divergence of
views as to Russia were sufficiently
marked as to cause comment
The position taken by this country
against recognition of the Independent,
Baltic states and the republics Of
Georgia and Azerbaijan was said in ad-
ministration circles to be consistent
with the past policy of the govern
ment
This view, however, was not sup
ported in other circles and particular
ly by the representatives of those re-
publics. Former Representative Wal
ter M Chandler of New York, legal
and political representative of those
nations, issued in their behalf a state
ment in which he declared that the
friends of the freedom of struggling
republics everywhere would be "sur-
prised and disappointed" by Secretary

institution in which the account O,
Charles Ponzi the financier, wns
shown recently to have been over
drawn.

Gated that it had been doing business

be unsafe and inexpedient for it to
continue. The doors of the bank were

promising large returns in Montreal Ia
years ago. Attention was called also

At the moment he was making a
formal confession Of his past, the
Hanover Trust company in which
Ponzi was director, was closed by
Bank Commissioner Joseph G. Allen,
who declared that reports of his
agents indicated that the bank was
doing business in an unsafe manner.
Ponzi resigned from the directorate
this afternoon.
The admission of Ponzi and the
closing of the trust company were
quickly associated in the minds of
hundreds who had given their mon
ey to Ponzi for investment and who
had been waiting anxiously for de-
velopments. A crowd gathered in
front of the Hanover Trust company.
Ponzo, who organized the Secur-
tiles Exchange company and took in
millions for investment from thou
sands of clients, said in a statement
today that he took the blame for an
other person in Montreal He also
insisted that he was still solvent and
could pay all notes now outstanding
