t. O. p. LEADERS MUzZLE HARDING
 ON COXX'SS SPEECH
Reply to Democratic Nomi- nee's Speech Signed By Republican Headquar- ters'-Fear to- Trust
 Harding's Views
By Associated Press

Marion, O., August S.-Assailing Gov ernor Cox's speech of acceptance as "a curious mixture of errors and mis- quarters replied at length in an official statement to the governors criticism of the republican Congress. finances and the League of Nations.
 The republican party the statement said, is ready to join battle on the question of whether the Senate at tempted to subvert and did subvert the wish and purpose of the American people in preventing ratification of the Presidents league"
 Charges that the republican Senate and House had made no effort to re- duce wartime tax burdens were char acterized far from recorded facts.
 The statement also asserted that by suggesting repeal of consumption taxes and enactment of blanket one and one-half per cent levy on the total business of going concerns. Governor Cox had shown that he has no pro- D " iotc tASCpl lO dppcat for the support of people who want somebody else to pay the taxes"
 "A leadership which would distort the outstanding facts as Governor Cox has done" it continued, will hardly command confidence when the country turns attention to the problem of our fiscal future"
 The statement, given out over the signature of Senator Harding's head quarters" was as follows:
 Governor Coxs acceptance address will not fail to please his political opponents, republicans and democrats alike, who are convinced that the coun- try's most immediate task is to get it's business administration into the hands of people competent to take care of it, and get it's international relations under the control of men who are Americans first. rather than interna- tionalists.
 | The speech is curious mixture of errors and misstatements as to facts,

The French military authorities, the dispatch continues, are re- ported to have hastily approached the German consulate for passports for all members of the French mis- sion. The German clerical forces were unable to issue the pass ports speedily enough, so three French majors joined the staff to expedite the work.
 PoIand's one military hope--HaI- disappointment, notwithstanding the fact that it made heroic efforts to stem the Onrush on the north- ern front, during the course of which 1t sustained heavy losses.
 It is added by the correspondent that there is serious friction be- tween the French General Wey- gand's staff and the Polish mili- tary leaders, which has resulted in hopeless confusion in the carrying out of orders in the fighting zone.
 What remains of the shattered Noiunteer army which was repuIsed along the Bug river are returning without arms or equipment in squads of from twenty to forty.
 Preparations have been made to blosv up both of the principal vis- tuIa bridges. All river traffic has been prohibited under threat of death. The food shops of Warsaw have been stormed. The Ghetto district is being given special pro- lection owing to the anti-semetic sentiment prevalent in the city.
 The correspondent says n co-or- , dinate Polish government has ceased to exist. The finance min- istry was the first to leave. Press fdent Piisudski is reported to have said that he preferred death on the battlefield to seeing PoIand's downfall.
 The prevailing internal cOnfu- sion, according to the correspond- ent. is indicative of the proclama- tiNa of a soviet -epa ollie in the next few days. Boisheviki propa- gandists have been busy in the suburbs for the past week, unmo- tested.
 Incoming trains are reported to be jammed with armed deserters. Three hundred deserting officers were placed on trial Wednesday. Of these, twenty-three were ex- ecuted.
 A pamphlet signed "A Soviet SoI- dier,' circulated in Warsaw, calls on the proletariat to join .ssour Russian breathren..

This was learned from an official source tonight following an announce ment at the conference between Pre- mier Lloyd George of Great Britain and Premier Mil1erand of France held today to discuss the Polish situation that the conference would continue to- morrow, when the premiers will pass upon naval military and economic plans for saving Poland, These plans are being drawn up tonight by Marshal rochsand Field Marshal Sir Henry Will son. chief of the British empiral staff
 These were the outstanding devel- opments of the day and followed an of- ficial announcement that the soviet government had definitely refused q ten-day truce, requested by Mir Lloyd George as a result of Fridays meeting with the Russian mission, headed by M kameneff and M, Krassin
 While there has been no talk of
 officially declaring war on Russia,
 the niifes have decided fo give Po-
 land all possible~ naval. military and
 economic assistance without delay.
 The premiers received two notes from Moscow today in answer to Mir Lloyd Georges request for truce To night they sent another to the soviet government and also advised Poland to seek truce direct from the bolshe- wiki, who indicated on their refusal of the truce that if the request came di- rect from the Poles it might have better chance of being granted
 One of the notes received from the bolsheviki today said a meeting of the Poles and Russians had been called for Minsk next Wednesday, and that the bolsheviki preferred to make their own arrangements with the Poles
 REIMPOSE BLOCKAD
 It was reliably reported tonight that the blockade of Russia would be re imposed imm ediately.
 MT. Lloyd George has deferred his promised statement in the House of Commons tomorrow until Tuesday. M. Mtllerand and his party wil' not re- turn to France until Monday after noon.
 The French are urging the estab- 'lishment of a defensive line in Poland either before Warsaw or immediately behind.the capital if it is too late now for the former NJ.
