Fulton County tribune. (Wauseon, Ohio) 1883-1925, 1920-08-27

French munitions for Poland. Several
French ships were anchored outside
the port with war supplies for the
Poles, but Tower said he had not suf-
icient allied troops to preserve order
II more munitions were unloaded
there. The French government for
mally protested against his ruling.
In south Russia General Wrangel
continued his gains against the soviet
army, and in Moscow Leon Trotzky
issued a call for volunteers for serv-
Ice on the southern front. He de-
nounced France for recognizing and
aiding Wrangel and accused England
Of also giving help. directly and indi-
rectly. The anti-bolshevik leader is
said to have the support of the entire
population in the south, for he is CIV
ing the land to the peasants, and he
has been joined by many Cossacks.
Though Lloyd George asserts that
Great Britain has not helped and will
not help Wrangel. the recognition of
the general by France has not yet
brought about the breach between the
two countries that was predicted by
alarmist correspondents and hopeful
Germans.
Armistice negotiations between the
Poles and the Russians opened in
Minsk, and the latter set forth the
terms they were willing to grant. II
may well be that these will be modi-
fed by the military operations of the
week. According to Wigdor Kopp,
who is in Berlin for the soviet govern
ment. the latter in its dealings with
Poland and the allies will insist on d.
rect communication with the Baltic,
probably by way Of Bialystok, and
will demand that Poland give Russia
the right to transport goods direct to
and from Germany. He says the boil
sheviki are determined to restore eco
nomic relations with Germany. In
this he has the support of Felix
Deutsch. head of the great electrical
manufacturing company of Germany,
who asserts that Russia's immense
supplies of raw material must be
brought to the worlds markets. that
Russia must be developed immediate.
ly. and that Germany is best equipped
for that work. Deutsch ridicules the
danger of the spread of polsheyisrn
outside of Russia, which does not &C
cord with the official German view
often expressed when Berlin urges
that the allies permit the organization
Of a stronger German army.
So far, the only available means
that the United States government ha:
found Of aiding Poland is the dispatch
of a cruiser and two destroyers from
| Cherbourg to Danzig. Officially, the!
we're sent to protect American citizen!
aud their interests. A large delega
tion Of Americans Of Polish origin
called on Secretary of State Colby, af
ter carrying an appeal to Presiden
Wilson. Mr.. Colby did not overlool
the opportunity to tell them that tn
governments hands were tied, mainl,
by the refusal Of the senate to ratif
the peace treaty.
The threat of British labor to cal
general strike as a demonstratio
against a war on Russia stirred u
such protests that the labor counci
has announced 1t never had any sue
intention. Lloyd George told the ID
borites that "any attempt to dictat
the policy of parliament strikes at tn
root of democratic constitution in tn
country and will be resisted with a
the power of the government"
