'S0v|ETS HAMMER
GATES OF WARSAW
(By Associated Press)

=. LONDON, Aug. 1.-THE Russian
B4lsheviki armies which are ham
mHring the Polish lines northeast and
eaft of Warsaw seem to have encount-
erfd stern resistance with the eXcep-
tidh of the area around Brest Litovsk,
arid no new advances by the Soviet
troops have been reported and even
there they have been almost stopped
by the desperate fighting of the Poles.
In the southern sectors fighting of a
serious nature is going on and the
Poles seem to be gaining ground in
some points.
Premiers Lloyd George and Miller,
and will meet at Hythe tomorrow. 1t
seems certain that there will not be
an immediate break in negotiations
bStween the allies and the Soviet gov
ej hment, and it is believed that the
French and British premiers may
have before them propositions from
Moscow which may assist them in
dealing with the serious situation con-
fronting Poland.

AYTON, Ohio, Aug. Peace for
America and the world by this ma
tons entrance into the League of
Nations with Interpretations" NOT
disturbing its vital principle was
pronounced today by Gov. James M.
Cox, the democratic presidential
standard bearer, as his paramount
policy.
In his address here accepting the
democratic nomination, Governor Cox
Imilitantly championed the League as
proposed by President Wilson, with
interpretations insuring good faith
ana understanding, and denounced
what he termed the dishonorable pro-
posal from Senator Harding, his re-
publican opponent, for a "separat
peace with Germany"
League or no league, the democratic
nominee declared, is the issue between
the two parties-''the supreme issue
of the century," he said.
"The question is" Governor Cox de-
clared, whether we shall or shall not
join in this practical and humane
movement. President Wilson entered
the League in our name. Senator
Harding, as the republican candidate
for the presidency proposes in plain
words that we remain out of it. AS
the democratic candidate l favor go
ing in.
1.-THE first duty Of the new admins
tration will be ratification of the
treaty." Governor Cox said, predict
ing that friends of the League would
rally to elect a senate with the requis-
ite majority for ratification.
Governor Cox said the "interpre-
tations" should state "our interprera-
ton of the covenant as matter of
good faith to our associates and as
precaution against any misunder-
standing in the future" Assailing
the Lodge reservations as emasculat-
ing, Governor Cox suggested two
specific interpretations" as outlined
several months ago in a newspaper
article. One declared Americas con-
tinuance in the League should depend
upon the Leagues use only as an
agency for world peace; the other
stated the understanding that this ma
tion could act only within the consti-
tuition, declared unalterable by any
treaty.
The door to other Interpretation"
was left open by Governor Cox, but he
said that the democratic platform
plank "speaks in firm resolution
against anything that distures the
vital principle" of the League.

10. THE POOR INDIAN
(By Associated PresO

10y ASSOclateu freSW
POTOTELLO. Idaho, Aug. 7.-Ev-
cry year in midsummer the Bannock
Indians travel little used trail to
their dancing grounds. Between 800
and 1000 of them gather yearly to
worship the sun.
In the vast quiet of the evening
when the hush has fallen over the
sage brush and the sun is great ball
of red fire sinking behind the noun
tains, the dreary heat of their TOM
toms and the low ghostly chart of
their song can be heard for miles. Tho
sound grows in strength as one ap-
proaches until with great burst of
glaring campfires and seeming con-
fusion the camping grounds are
reached. Indians in their native
garb are everywhere, hideous in their
war-paints and with glistening naked
bodies.
The young bucks who dance are not
permitted to eeat or drink for three
days and are accompanied by the
tom-t toms beaten by the squaws. The
dance is religious and festival OF
thanks to the gods for bountifuI crops
and herbs, streams full of fish and
the sky full of fowls.

BRIDGE is NEEDED.

Now that the automobile has come.
and cone to stay until it is supplanted
by the airship, or some mode of travel
we as yet know nothing of, and good
roads and good bridges are essential,
what is needed more than a bridge
connecting Maysville and Aberdeen? 1t
is more than fifty miles to the nearest
bridge; there is almost a continual
stream of automobiles and other travel
from North to South at this point, and
this tsream would be very greatly in
creased If there was bridge spanning
the river here Years ago we heard
talk of the l.. e N. railway planning
such a bridge, and extending their
road to Columbus and other cities of
the North. We are very sure this
would be a paying proposition as 1t
would make direct line from the
North to the South, and we can have
some idea of what that means when we
see the long line of freight and pas
senger trains over the n. & w. from
Columbus to Portsmouth But the day
of railway construction seems passing

other way. capitalists. automobilists,

ARE TAUGHT TO READ
Men Wounded In Neck and Throat Re-
celye Speech Training Through
Vocational Education.

Among the thousands of men dis
abled in the World War, there are
about 200 practically totally deaf, and
100 with speech defects caused by
wounds in Jaw, neck or throat The
majority of these men, while still in
army hospitals, received lip-readine
and speech training. They are now
taking vocational training under the
Federal Board for Vocational Educa-
ton.
Soldiers and sailors who did not re-
ceive instruction in lip-reading ana
lessons for the correction of speech
defects aer now in training under the
supervision of a special agent of the
Federal Board,
One of the most interesting speech
defect cases is that of Private Henry
]. Koopman, who, as result OF an
operation for mastoiditis, suffered
what the doctors call complete motor
and sensory aphasia." In every day
language he could neither speak nor
understand speech. His hospital rec
ord showed that before the operation
Koopman spoke English without an
accent After his operation he could
utter a few German phrases, but his
English was completely forgotten. He
could neither name nor locate the
parts of his body.
"Show me your arm" would say his
teacher. Koopman would look vague
yaround him.
Koopmain's training was started at
U. S. Army General Hospital No IL, at
Cape May, N. j., under an expert
teacher, Miss May E. Thornton.
At the end of two days the pupil
could count to four. In one week he
could do simple addition. At the end
of two weeks he knew three parts OF
his body and could speak one connect
ed sentence in English. At this time,
he began left-hand writing to develop
the speech centers on the right side
of his brain. In five months time ne
could write with both hands, read sim
pie sentences, write short letter, and
his speech was broken but ineligible
Moreover, he revealed himself as re-
markable card-player and beautiful
dancer.
Mr.. Koopman is discharged from the
army and receiving treatment at
New York Public Health Service Hos
pital. The Federal Board for Voca-
tional Education has arranged that his
speech training go on under the same
teacher with whom he started at Cape
May. Miss Thornton now reports that
he can talk twenty minutes without
stopping.
