Washington, August 30.-Railroads of the country will begin operations on their own resources tomorrow night proximately sie0, ,oO0,ooo monthly for the six months in vnieh thelr earn infS 1lSatfoH Ts aaq e eaaTTiers n1 wifi be allowed further aid only through loans from the revolving fund which the act created
 Earnings of the roads will fall about $500 900. 900 below their stand ard return for the period since March l. according to estimates today by the bureau of railway economies. Fewer than half a score of lines have pro- duced revenue sufficient to equal act ual operating expenses which does not include the fixed charges of in- terest. taxes and dividends. Definite figures on the cost to the government of the earnings guarantee provisions of the transportation act wDl not be known for several months, or until the various systems are able to comple e the mechanical task of balancing books and giving detailed figures. Most all of the roads, however, have indicated already to the interstate commerce committee and through it to the treas ury that they will have money coming to them as a result of the guarantee. The treasury has received dozens of certificates for advances under the guarantee within the last ten days and more are expected tomorrow, Sec- retary Houston said. If the roads do not ask for advance against proba ble deficits before tomorrow night they must wait for a final compilation for the sums the government owes them.

''SH|FTY HYPOCRISY" 'OF COX DENOUNCED BY ROOSEVELT, R.
Declares It Was the Repub- liran Farfy Ina, Fought the War. Democrats Be
 ing Afraid of Guns
By Associated Press

Bangor Me. August 30,-An appeal to Americans to meet present critical condi- tions with clear eyes, with honesty and steady hand" was made by Lieutenant Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, in speech here today He said what this country wants most is common sense, common decency and common honesty
 We must meet the future determined that we are going forward; always for ward to better things and that we will not let unreasoning fear force us into senseless reaction, said Colonel Roose- welt
 Equally, however, we must not let our country be governed by indolent dis content and the impractical theories of the doctrnaire.
 This country has been conceived and moved forward to it's dominating great ness on one theory of government, he continued, "and that is representative government The democratic party dur ing it's tenure of office has contravened ship of the executive. What the repub- lican party proposes to do is to establish again the powers and functions of Con- gress and the Senate.
 "In Mir Cox the democrats have chosen a man whose shifty hypocrisy thorough 'iy entities him to be the leader of the party whose administration has dark ened the pages of our history during the last eieht years He inyeghs against the republican platform. He says its platfor m does not acclaim the fine part played by America in the war.
 Does he not know that 1t is not con- sidered customary or in good taste to praise our own achievements. and 1t was the republican party that fought the war. There was not a male representative or the close official family of the national democratic administration who, to the best of my knowledge, was during the war within range of gun fired by the enemy They did not use their influence to be sent where the danger war sorest.
 Does MT Cox pretend to forget that when this oountry's affairs were at their erayest the head of the democratic par ty appealed to the country to return a democratic Congress? Mir. Cox called this non-partisan politics. It is partisan politics of the lowest and basest form Under Harding and Coolidge and the re- publican party, we are moving forward to victory under banner reading America first.

 Governor Cox's statement was made
 after reading newspaper accounts of the hearing in Chicago before which Chair man Hays read a letter purporttng to be from George T. Carroll president of the New Jersey Federation of Liquor inter- ests, asking for contributions to help elect Cox.
 Tt is very well understood in this state in particular" Governor Cox said. "that the vets have not been active in politics for some time. Official reports | to the secretary of state show that in ! the last year or two the vets have not apparently been able to make large cam | pa ign contributions for wet referendums. { If Mir Hays will take the time to inNesu- 1 gate the official reports in Ohio, he will find that the vets have never contributed l
 ] The governor declared any statement | to the effect that the vets are con 1 tributing to his campaign to be absurd declaring that he "only made reply be- cause silence might be misconstrued. | The governor returned here today /, from his eastern tour. He will speak i at the Ohio State Fair tomorrow after | noon on agriculture and said he might also discuss the League of Nations 1 with the farmers. He said this even | ing he was preparing a statement on 1 "the last plan" meaning the plan for 1 a world court of justice outlined by l Senator Harding. his opponent, in re- cent speech The governor said h. had been informed on his arrival here by "close political observer that the League of Nations has "overrun party 1 lines"
 Speaking of his New York visit, Gov ernor Cox said he was surprised to see 1 the general interest in politics dis | played so early there, as it generally 1 is the custom of New Workers to for get politics until after Labor Day. He said he ran into lot of independ- ent thought in New York and was | Surprised at it's volume He said in dependents headed by Rabbi stephen 5. Wise had expressed a desire to enter tain him on his next trip to the me tropolis.

Warsaw, August 29.-President PiI- sudski, in a statement to the Polish press, declares that the front designated by the ern frontier is from strategical point of view worth nothing to the republic At several points in the region of Brest-Litovsk, he said we have al- reay crossed the allied line in the north we are approaching it. To halt on this line. dig trenches and create a state of defense means that we confirm with this
 act that the front in ths east answers our aspirations.
 that there are only two solutions of the Russian problem, either to march for ward and crush the reds so completely that they will be forced to speak with the Poles in another tone or remain on the illusory frontier and conclude peace as promptly as possible,
 The Poles must make a decision prompt and energetic" he continues. There is no time to lose It is not easy to inflame the Poles. and they are be- coming cool already. We must not de- Jude ourselves even if we sign, since we should always remain an object of Russian aggreSsion-,'
 President Pilsudski points out that an abnormal situation has arisen and that the entire front Of the Poles by force of events has been turned toward the Prus- sian frontier. Its rear and it's flank are in the direction of Russia" he adds, and we must bring it back to natural State. l am convinced .that the Rus sians have not renounced their inten- tion of attacking us further
 Our friends desire that the Poles shall remain stationary on the eastern front
