Chicago, Aug. 25.-Prohibition nation al headquarters tonight issued a state ment by Aaron S. Watkins, prohibition nominee for president, attacking the rec ord of Senator Harding on the wet and dry question.
 MT. Watkins declares he is unable to md any instance of Senator Harding voting for the drys and cites figures de- signed to show that the. republican nom lnee voted with the vets on 30 occasions and was absent or dodged 1,163 roll calls and quorum calls"
 Tt seems to me that the friends of Senator Harding have overworked his
 meager prohibition record and have left
 Tn idle nefficiency perfectly good and healthy herd of wet votes which deco rate his congressional record" says the statement, for instance, he voted against prohibition in the District of Co- i lumbia, he also voted against prohibition in Porto Rico. Moreover he cast several votes against wartime prohibition spoke at length against it and I have
 been unable to find any case in which
 he supported it.
 Tn August 1917 he supported the Reed amendment. He introduced the | six year clause, which the vets conf
 dently prophesied would defeat tho

GOVERNMENT ECONOMY
 TOPIC FOR HARDING

Marion, O., Aug. 25.-At the close of a speech here today Senator Harding turned to two visiting soldiers, both blind ed in the Argonne, and solemnly made public pledge that there never shall be substitute for the Stars and Stripes they last beheld."
 The personal touch, which brought a momentary hush over the gathering, and then was echoed in roaring avalanche of cheers, followed broader promise to the world that in it's efforts for interna- tional concord America never would sur render it's nationality, and suggestion that it would be bettei, ito cultivate wait ing opportunities in friendly soil of the new world than chase a phantom amid the envieS and rivalries of the old.'
 In the speech the republican nominee also asked for governmental and individ- ual economy as the primary step to re- duce the cost of living. declared for a policy of federal maintenance of public highways, and appealed to the new won- en voters not to segregate themselves in a new party based on sex prejudice. The democratic administration he accused of -preneditated" neglect in preparing for the great war and of tardiness in making provision for a return to a peace status.
 Departing from his prepared manu-
 
 Roosevelt and declared his conviction that were he living, would be speaking for him at this moment as your candidate for president"
 The greater part of the speech, which wa sdelivered from the front porch to a delegation from Wyandot county, Ohio, was devoted to government economy. The republican congress, Senator Harding said, had saved nearly a billion dollars by pairing down democIatic appropriation proposals, and thus had applied the one available remedy toward a reduction in the cost of living
 In espousing "Pan-American comity, much dreamed about, but so little real ized," the nominee asserted that nobody has a thought of American aloofness, D or of any failure to make full contribu- ton to world progress. He promised that if elected he would ask congress to make a maintenance provision a part of every federal highway appropriation.
 The admonition against a separate Yoman's party came as Aggression from the nominees prepared speech after he had expressed qualification that women were to be enfranchised.
 Whatever differences there may have been over the granting of the right of suffrage to women" he said, there can be no question as to their fitness. either capacity, their patriotism, and their ear nestness l voted for the woman suf- frage amendment to the constitution. I hope l may never regret it There is only one thing that could make me regret if. and that would be to find the women of this country segregating themselves into parties because of the prejudice of sex"

LODGE IN SYMPATHY
 WITH IRISH PEOPLE

Boston, Aug. 25.@Senator Lodge, in a letter sent today to State Senator John J. Walsh said that the resolution passed by the senate last year expressing sym pathy with the aspirations of the Irish people for a government of it's own choice" expressed his attitude with re- gard to Ireland and that he had noth- ing oadd to it.
 The letter was in reply to one from Senator Walsh asking that he introduce at the next session of congress a resolu- tion to provide for financing a commits sion from the United States to investigate conditions in Ireland.
 T expect and intend" Senator Lodge wrote, fin the course of the campaign to discuss the foreign relations of the United States, but only so far as the United States is directly involved in those re- lations, whether existing or proposed, and upon which action must be taken by the government Of the United States"
 He quoted from speech which he made in the senate in August, 1919, in whichszlae
 We ought to reduce to the lowest pos- sible point the foreign questions in which we invoke ourselves
 The letter concluded:
 T have seen no reason to change the views thus expressed a year ago. It should never be forgotten, especially by those charged with the responsibilities of national government, that sympathy for the races to which we belong and for the countries from which we or our ancestors have come--a sympathy which is not only natural but honorable-is a very differ ent thing from legislative or executive action, which would affect the future of the entire country and might precipitate the solemn issue of peace or war. I be- lieve that the highest duty of all Areri- cans, whether native born or naturalized, when they deal with public questions and elections to office is to think as Ameri- cans, to vote as Americans and in all that concerens their country ever to re- member that they must be Americans first"

BRITISH COAL MINERS
 TAKING STRIKE VOTE

London, Aug. 25.--(By The A. P) The balloting of the coal miners throughout the country today is going largely in favor of a strike The voting in many places has been three to one in favor of the miners laying down their picks. The Welsh miners are virtually unanimous for strike, it is said
 The Miners Federation met today and discussed the question if it should per- init steps to be taken to prevent the flooding of the mines in the event of the men ceasing work, but no decision was reached. The government declines to discuss any compromise measures.
 There seems to be general belief that the other trades unions will refuse to countenance a miners strike and that without the support of the other mem- bers of the labor triple alliance with which the miners are aflliated-the rail- waymen and the transport workers such a strike would be a failure.

Destruction Of Red Army Now Complete
But 3O,O0O Fugitives Left of Hosts Which Swept Down on Warsaw-80,O00 Talk en Prisoner.

Paris, Aug. 25.-(By The A. P.)-
 The destruction of the bolshevik armies
 now may be considered complete, ac-
 cording to advices received here. Of the host which swept down on Warsaw
 nothing is left but 30,000 fugitives. The
 Poles have taken S0,000 prisoners thus far, but what is more important they
 have captured great quantities of guns and materials
 It is considered probable that the So- viets employed all their available re- | sources, and in their present condition Russian industries will take long time
 to replace them.
 During the past three days there has
 been heavy fighting in the Marshy val ley of the Narew between Ostrolenka and Lomza, where the Reds sought to break through in the direction of Bialy-
 stok. The losses have been heavy on
 both sides The peasants continue daily to discover and hand over to the mill tary fugitive Red detachments The exact number of cannon abandoned is
 not yet known.
 Detachments of cavalry and infantry
 on horseback which escaped proceeded northward along the line ot the lakes l and marshes between the fortresses oi Ossowieo and Grodno. The same rou,e was followed by those retreating from
 the environs of Bialystok. It appears evident that the bolshevik are trying to make a stand in the re. zion of Ossowec. where the nature of the ground facilitates a defensive, so as te
 maintain communication with East Prus sia and prevent access to the Poles tc Lithuania.
 Profting by the regrouping of the l Polish army, the Reds again invaded | Galicia. General Budenny ma le 3 dash for Lemberg. but has bee defeat. ed and is in flight.

FURTHER EXPANSION OF

<. Washington, Aug. 25.--Evidence of a turning of the tide of expansion was given tonight by the federal reserve board in a statement which declared that further expansion of bank credit appar- ently has been checked" The board added, however, that application of the policy, of restricting loans to essent. al re- quire ements had not reduced the volume of loans and discounts of the country's banking institutions. There has been an awakening of the public to the credit needs according to the boards view with the result that people are taking stocks, curtailing their expected loans and exercising generally more wholesome tudgms1t."
