WARSAW SAFE, REDS
RETREAT IN PERIL

warsaw, Aug. IS-Ine newspapers
today assert that the military crisis
has been passed and assure the pub
lis that Warsaw is absolutely safe.
The counter offensive of the Poles is
announced in the newspapers in big
headlines, and the Council of Minis
tiers has issued proclamation which
has been posted in the streets telling
of the victorious attacks against the
Bolsheviki who attempted to outflank
the capitals defensive.
Paris, Aug. 1S-Warsaw tonight
seems to be saved from the Bolshe-
Wiki. President Pilsudski's armies no
longer are obliged to fight a defen-
sive battle, and the bold offensive on
both wings has reached the first OBJ
jectives and the Poles appear to be
pausing before attempting to develop
their success.
The offensive on the left wing is
being personally led by the French
Generals Henry and Billotte, and al
ready has yielded important results
1t has once more put the Poles in
possession of the key to the Warsaw
defenses-the fork between the Ma
rev and Bug Rivers-while the forces
advancing toward Mlawa, which have
reached Tsiechanoff, twelve miles to
the south of Mlawa. will lforce the
Bolsheviki marching toward Flock
and Thorn to beat hasty retreat and
consequently reopen the direct rail-
road line to Danzig
But the maneuver on the right
wing, along the line of Garvolin and
Paratchoff, between the Vistula and
the Bug, is the more interesting of
the two from the strategic viewpoint,
because it threatens the communica-
tions of the main Bolshevik forces.

equality of the award of the blum
inous coal commission last March, un-
der which the pick mining rate was
advanced q per cent over the then
existing contract, and the day and
monthly men to the equivalent of the
pick miners advance. Tine operators,
however, refused to consider any 9TH

Guiding the ten cents per ton asked
for pick and machine mining.
On receipt of the operators propo-
sal the miners promptly rejected il

committee was appointed to try and
reach settlement.
After adjournment tonight MEM
bers of the sub committee said there
was little to indicate any immediate
settlement of the matter. 1t became
known today chat the federal govern
ment is watching the meeting here, a
local representative of the Depart
ment of Justice admitting he was
watching the conference develop
ments regarding the possibility of any
strike action by the miners.

TENNESSEE RATIfIES
SUFFRAGE AMENDMENT
Seth State Gives Ballot To
Women-Antis To
Appeal

Nashville, Tenn, Aug 1S-Tennes-
see today became the thirty-sixth
State to ratify the Susan B. Anthony
Federal suffrage amendment. The
constitutional change thus will be-
come effective in time for the IT,
100000 women of the country to
vote in the Presidential election in
November, unless the lower house Of
the Tennessee Assembly rescinds its
action of today in adopting the ratifi-
cation resolution 40 to AZ.
Speaker Walker, leader of the an
ti-suffragists, put opponents in a po-
sition to demand reconsideration by
changing his vote from nay to aye
and moving to reconsider. The House
adjourned until 10 o'clock tomorrow,
when the Speakers motion will have
the right of way. Suffrage and anti
suffrage forces frightened their lines
this afternoon for the final fight and
both sides were claiming victory.
The suffragists, however, had the
advantage of today's victory and ex-
pressed confidence that Speaker
Walkers motion would be voted down
tomorrow. The next step in ratifica-
tion then would be the certifying Of
the action of the Tennessee Assembly
to the Secretary of State of the Unit
ed States, who upon it's receipt would
issue a proclamation declaring the
amendment ratified
The Tennessee Senate ratified the
amendment last Friday by a vote Of
25 to 4.
Want One More State.
Suffrage leaders declare they will
not slacken their efforts as they de-
sire to have at least one other State
ratify before the November elections,
as they expect a fight to be made
against Tennessee's action because Of
the clause in the State Constitution
which prohibits any assembly from
acting on an amendment not submit
ted before the members were elect
ed Both United States Solicitor
General Frierson and the Attorney
General of Tennessee have declared
this clause to be unconstitutional in
the light of the recent decision of the
Supreme Court in the Ohio referen-
dunn case.
