POLISH VICTORIES FAIL
To MOVE RED ENJOYS

WARSAW, Aug. 25. (By the Asso-
ciated Press Polish victories over So
Wet armies which invaded Poland ap-
parently have not affected the Bolshevik
delegates at the peace conference being
held in Minsk A wireless dispatch re-
ceived from Minsk by Foreign Minister
Sapieha asserted: THE Bolshevlh at
todays meeting continue to retain their
sureness Of manner"
This was the fifth message sent by
the Polish delegation at Minsk, but one
of them has not as yet arrived.
The message received today declared
according to the foreign office an
nouncement, that NJ. Danishevsky chief
of the soviet delegation. in his provi-
sional reply to the Polish representa-
tiyes delegations, said, among other
things: THE Polish front is guarded
by France as part of the general
front against soviet Russia"
Soviet Russia" he is quoted as add
ing, "can not abandon its point Of
view on the question of Polish disarma-
ment until Poland proves she is acting
as a sovereign state"
Regarding the position taken BY the
Bolshevih the massage stated the
Poles had maintained their attitude and
that at the next meeting the detailed
Russian reply would be received
The foreign announcement says the
soviet delegates are continuing to put
difficulties in the way of Polish COM
munication with Warsaw. The third
wireless message sent to this city from
Minsk is missing and IL Is said this will
be necessary for Polish officials here
to understand and form an opinion rel
attNe TO the negotiations.

DGres Not Release
Starring Mayor Of
Cork, Says Premier

LUCERNE, Switzerlnd, Aug. 25.-
Premier Lloyd George, in a statement
today concerning the case of Lord
ditien is grave because of his hungeC
substance that whatever the conse-
quences, the government could not take
the responsibility of releasing Mac
sweeney.
The premier declared he regretted
MacSweeney had decided to starve him
self but said that If he were released
then all the other hunger strikers
would have to be released
"A law which is a respector of per-
sons Is no law" Mr.. Lloyd Georges
statement continued. "If the cabinet,
therefore, departed from its decision,
a complete breakdown of the whole ma
chinery of law and government in Ire
land inevitably would follow.
The release some weeks ago of
hunger strikers in Ireland was followed
by an outburst of cruel murder and
outrage.
81 may add that every invitation to
discuss with those who are for the
moment the spokesmen for Irish ma
tionalism a peaceful settlement of Ire
land has been spurned by them. The
latest offer of the government, made in
parliament on the date of its adjourn
ment, has been scornfully rejected by
their leaders, and we have been driven
to fight against the claim for complete
secession of Ireland, north and south,
from the British empire. This claim
we can never recognize"

HALL SAYS RATIFICATION
NOT PROPERLY CERTIFIED

DECATUR, Ala. aug 25.-Ratifica-
tion of the woman suffrage amend
ment by the state of Tennessee, has
not been properly certified to Secre-
tary Of State Colby, according to Rep
resentative F. S. Hall, of Nashville,
leader of the insurgent legislators, who
have come here to break the quorum
in the Tennessee house.
Mr. Hall declared that Gov. Roberts
had merely certified a copy OF the
house journal
The legal requirements, he stated
had not been complied with, and the
document sent to Washington by the
governor will not be sufficient TO war
rant a proclamation from the office Of
the secretary of state.
Other members of the party expressed
doubts that the ratification could be
effected
No indication as to the length of
their stay in Alabama was given early
today by the insurgent legislators They
have been guests at several outings
given in their honor by the citizens of
Decatur and other nearby towns.
Today they attended a barbecue near
Moorsvile, in Limestone county, given
by the Limestone county branch Of
the American Cotton association. Last
pght they were guests at a banquet
in Athens, Ala.

ANTS CARRY FIGHT
TO CAPITAL; FILE
' INJUNCTION BILL
Apply for Restraining Order
to Prevent Secretary Of
State Colby From PromuI-
gatinq Ratification.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-Application
Tor an injunction to restrain Secre-
tary Colby of the state department from
promulgating ratification of the fed
eral suffrage amendment was filed in
the district supreme court today by
counsel for the American Constitutional
league. Associate Justice Siddons re-
CURED that authority for such procedure
be cited and agreed to hear counsel on
the point during the day.
Application was made by Attorney A.
ID. Smith, in behalf of Charles S. Fair
child, of New York, president of the
league. Justice Siddons said he could
not consider the matter until counsel
had presented authority under which
he contended the court might act to
restrain the secretary OF state from
issuing proclamation, announcing rati-
fication on receipt Of certification of the
action of Tennessee as thirty sixth
state. He suggested that counsel pre-
sent such citations tomorrow; but Mr..
Smith said this might be too late and
Justice Siddons agreed to remain in
his chambers during the day to con-
sfdef the authorities which counsel
might later present.
This was the second attempt by the
league to obtain from the district court
an Injunction restraining Mr. Colby from
the ratification. The first
effort was made 1 last month before
Tennessee had acted. Justice Bailey
in dismissing the proceedings held that
the court was without authority to in
quire into the action of the state legis-
latures in ratifying the suffrage amend
ment and that it had no authority to
pass on the validity of such an amend
ment. An appeal to the supreme court
of the United States was noted by
counsel for the league.
Suffragists today were hopeful that
before evening the state department
would issue proclamation formally an
ratification of the federal suf-
frage amendment by enough states to
make it effective.
Official notification that the amend
ment had been ratified by the Tennes-
see legislature was expected to reach
Secretary Colby during the day, dis
patches from Nashville having reported
that Gov. Roberts mailed the certifica-
ton notice to Washington at noon yes
terday. Secretary Colby recently an
nounced he was prepared to issue the
suffrage proclamation as soon as he re-
ceived official word of Tennessees ac-

In view Of the fact that this traffic
from Memphis is hauled via the Hi

There has been considerable talk of

There is a report that the two largest

that the local management is handi-
