would believe a wife's love great enough
to help in matters like this? Most
wives would get a terrible scene staged
and most likely be in the divorce court

keep dead quiet and try to save their
own skin first of all, however refined
and sweet their victims may be.
We are always, and often with good
reason, talking about mems selfshness,
especially in such cases, so when man
is honest and respectable to the highest

give him a little praise, too. Surely

Colby Pledges
Presidents Aid
To Polish Cause
All Constitutional Power
Confided in Executive
Will Be Used to Assist,
He Informs Delegation

WASHINGTON, Aug. 18 (By The AS.
socated Press).--A declaration that
the American government would sup
port Polish independence "to the full
extent of the constitutional power
confided in the Executive" was made
to-day by Secretary Colby. Speaking
to a delegation of American citizens
of Polish extraction who called at
both the White House and State De-
partment to present memorials adopted
at recent mass meetings over the coun-
try, Mr.. Colby said "every measure
that can legally be taken will be
adopted to render effectual the posi-
tion of this country"
The Secretary Of State declared
however, that the question Of material
aid on any broad scale was political
one.
"We canont go to the relief even
of Poland" he declared, provided the
view prevails in this country that we
our national borders. The question,
you see. in its larger and true aspect
is political question. / cattle your at
tention to the fact that the attitude Of
this government can only be the atti-
tude of its people, and you, as Ameri-
can citizens, have the power to deter
mine the trend and the weight of
American public opinion"
Mr. Colby said there were those in
the United States who opposed any
form or degree Of Intervention "that
call upon us for active effort" and who
had "fouted and rejected the enliGht-
ened machinery that was devised In
conjunction with the treaty of Ver-
now unhappily exist in the world"
He also said there were those in this
country who "are surveying the con-
ditions that now exist in Central
Europe with satisfaction that they
make no attempt to conceal"
While the executive arm of the gov
ernment has "some measure of initia-
tive and of action" Mr.. Colby contin-
ued, "you must look to the true sources
of power in this country"
"1n the final analysis" he declared
"it is public opinion. In the less re-
mote view, it is your duly elected mem
sense it is the political party with
which you may be affiliated
"You, each in your own community
in your daily contacts, are chargeable
with a responsibility for the creation
of a sound, patriotic and humane public
opinion as background for legislation
such as the emergency demands"
The Secretary told the delegation
that "the appropriations which relic
measures imply, and without which ac
tion on an adequate scale is impossi
BILE, must be made by Congress-"
Mr.. Colby said that many steps fol

which it was unnecessary and inadvis
able" for him to discuss in detail. bu
he added that his hearers, as American
citizens, chad the power to determine

position on both the Polish and south
Russian fronts was pronounced "gen-
orally satisfactory" by Leon Trotzkv,
Bolshevik War Minister. in an address
here to-day. The speech was delivered
at meeting of the Moscow Soviet.
Discussing the military situation,
Trotzky declared that con the front
against White Poland our Red troops
have fulfilled the fundamental part of
their task. The holding up of our ad-
vanced troops before Warsaw in no
way alters the state of affairs, all the
more as the Polish front is now divided
into two parts military and jplo-
matic-and possesses two centers,
one in Warsaw and the other in
Minsk."
"The peace negotiations at Minsk are
of exceptional Importance" continued
the War Minister, because they are
developing on the unstable foundation
of stormy movement among the work
ers. Great Britain also is passing
through an unheard-of display of ex-
tion with the peace negotiations be-
tween Russia and Poland.
"On General Wrange's 'front.'" he
added, 1--WE are opening the gates wide
to our enemies, but We shall assault
them in the flank and rear. The fate
of the revolution will be decided on
the Polish front This is why we have
concentrated our forces in the west and
are only leaving posts on the southern
front in order to hold UP Wrangel's
advance"

MOSCOW, Aug. II (By The Associ-

Soviet peace terms were read to the
Polish delegates at their first meeting

Minsk to-day. The Polish answer will
be returned tomorrow. An official
statement with regard to the meeting
of the delegates says
The Minsk conference opened to-
day at 1900 p. M, with speech by
Chairman Danishevsky, after which
credentials were exchanged. Danishev-
sky emphasized Russias respect for
Poland's independence, sovereign rights
and right to determine her own form
OF government and said Russia ac-
corded Poland more territory than the
Entente.
"Danishevsky said Russia must de-
mand from the landlords of Poland
such guarantees against renewed at
tacks as would not be necessary from
IN the workers and peasants Of Poland.
lhe Polish delegates proposed to hold
the next sitting August 10, but the
Russians insisted it be hold on Angus st

LONDON, Aug. 18.-Russian Bolshe-
vlk peace delegates at Minsk have been
instructed to fully recognize the ma

country, says Minsk dispatch to The
Herald, organ of labor, quoting an in
tervlew with M. Danishevsky, president
of the Russian peace delegation. The
terms of peace made public by the
Soviet government of Russia are not
final, according to the dispatch, but
may be modified at the conference.

In the new suits, coats are longer than they have been and skirts are wider and shorter, but not as short as was predicted In this one particular America proves entirely independent of Paris and goes its own way with several additional inches added to the very short French models. When at tractiveness is the deciding factor in a contention about this difference, the longer skirt must win out; 1t looks bet ter with the longer coats.
 Velours, gabardine, serge, jersey and some less familiar weaves share popular favor, and the new styles re- veal wonderful tailoring and elegant lines. Folds, or plaits and tucks in the materials, account for much of the decoration, aided by small buttons of bone, or covered with the goods, as in the suit shown here. The high collar of fur is dominant note in fall styles.

these instances have been so few. It those few instances have been used as propaganda by the suspicious. They have lent false strength to charges that the Legion is hound pack of big business and a Pretorian guard of capital.
 To those who have been trying to use these instances to damage the re- putation of the whole Legion, Com mander D'Olier has just given the di- rect answer. In letter to the Ad- jutant of the Department of New Jer- sey the commander states unmiStake- ably that the Legion is committed to a hands off, policy toward labor controversies. He says:
 The American Legoin has taken a very positive stand that, as an or eniation, it should never take any de- finite part in any dispute between the employer and the employee, or between capital and labor. This policy shall be adhered to strictly by the national organization. state orghni- cations and the posts as well. There is nothing to prevent the individual member, as an individual, from taking either side in such a controversy, but the Amercan Legion, as an organiza- tion, should not do so''

The ship policy which the Legion launched at the Minneapolis Conven- tion has proved it's seaworthiness. It has weathered alike the gales of sell fish politics and the storms of labor and capital The organization as a whole has kept steadily in the chan nels of politics and industrial neutral ity
 The activities of certain posts of the Legion, however, have sometimes been presented as hostile to the inter- ests of labor In an organization of g GOO posts it is inevitable that at times certain posts will run counter to the policies of the whole organia- ton. It is to the Legions credit that
