The plight OF the Poles, who attempted to signal
;ze the recovery Of their own liberty by eslaving
ue:shobdng people only to meet with disastrous
defeat may serve to bring about significant test
Of the sincerity and good intentions Of the soviet
Government Of Russia. At all events the Allies
have decided that if the Poles shall agree to get
b,ck within their natural boundaries Russia Will
be asked to grant them an armistice. There is not

for recent reports indicate that their armies prob

OLD AND NEW cox sLooANs.

Washington. - The following inter
esting interview with Governor James
NJ. Cox Of Ohio was published in the
hotel column OF the Washington Post
four years ago-y!z, on July 20. 1915:
"Ohio is not the only state where
the people are shouting the praises Of
the President for having preserved
peace In the United States. Our honor
has remained unsullied. The slogan
He Kept Us Ont Of War Will be the
most effective argument the Democrats
can use In the campaign. Americanism
has been pre-empled by the President.
and every other problem OF national
import has been met squarely and sat
isfactorily."
This tends to show the caliber OF
Governor Cox. With him 1t Is any
thing 10 win. any sort of catch phrase,
slogan or anything TO deceive or fool
