NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENTEVENTS France Acts v , Independently of Great Britain in the Russo- Polish Complication. PROMISES AID TO WRANGEL America to Ute "All Available Means" to Preserve Poland's Independence —Reslttance to Red Arm lea-In. creating—Express Workers Get Wage Increase. By EDWARD W. PICKARD. The United States will employ "nil available means" to safeguard the In dependence and territorial Integrity of Poland, and will not recognize the soviet government of Russia. The PYench ifovernment has recog nized tpe Wrangel government of southern Russia and wiil give it mili tary aid against the bolshevik!; and the French representatives In London have been Instructed to break off all relations with Krassln and Kameneff. the soviet trade commissioners.there. The British government, though somewhat dismayed by the American and French, announcements, and the apparent breuk with France, still hopes and believes a peace can be ne gotiated between Russia and Poland. The Russians, persisting In their re fusal to permit mediation by any third party, sent a delegation to Minsk to meet the Poles, and continued their circling movement designed to cap ture Warsaw. The Poles sent representatives to Minsk to talk armistice, and, having withdrawn In good order from their advanced positions, established two lines of defense before Warsaw and prepared for on extensive counter Stroke. • In Hie ttneup of the powers, Italy stands with (ireat Britain, and France counts on the support of the United States. Germany maintains an'osten wible neutrality while hoping for thfe crushing of Poland, believing the Polish adventure was Instigated and directed by France. Such Is the summary of on lay of writing. In the biggest of wars thnt are still going on. O 1 President Wilson's statement of America's position was made to Italy. In It he sugxested thnt the conflict might l>e ended by the withdrawal of nil Russian forces from Poland and the withdrawal of all allied troops from ethnographic Russia, together with assurances by the allied and as sociated powers that Russia will not be dismembered. He urged that any dealings with the soviet regime be con fljled \\4lhlu "the most nnrrow boun daries to which the discussion of «rt ornilstlce can he confined," and scored the soviet government ns thnt of a tyrannical and dishonorable minority whose assurances and guarantees are practically worthless. In asking thnt the true boundaries of Russia be re spected, the note specified that those boundaries should not Include Fln- Innd, ethnic Poland or such territory as may by agreement form a port of tlie Armenian state. Just what the president meant by "all available means" In promising aid to Poland was not made clear, but It was as sumed. both by government officials and by the representatives of Poland in Washington, lhat the phrase did not Include the dispatch of troops. Prince Lnhomlrakl, the Polish minis ter. did not ask for armed assistance, but said the need of his countrymen was for food, clothing, arms ani other wnr mun|tlons. These, he add»d, are needed Immediately and Imperatively. A conference of the British and French premiers was held at H.vthe and, returning to London, Lloyd George told the house of commons that he still believed In pence. fce said Russia was entitled to strict guarantees against a of the Polish attack- but was not entitled to destroy Poland ns a nation; if Jtuaala acted wltfcic those conditions there would be no war by the entente. If the Minsk meeting failed of results, he declared, the allies had decided on these lines of action: (1) No action, except to support Poland In the strug gle for existence; (2) only to give sup port to the nation which fights Its own struggles; (3) no allied troops to be seat to Poland; (4) the allies will help to equip the Poles for their own defense: (5) to give military advice and guidance; (0) economic pressure to he brought to bear on Russia; (7) to help Wrangel and all other counter revolutionaries; (8) end of trading ne gotiations. v Turning to the Russian representa tives who sat In the gallery, the little Welshman said: "If you want peace, •get It now. It you are out to chal lenge the liberties of Europe, we will meet you and fight to the end." British labor leaders had already warned Lloyd George there would be a general strike if the nation went to wnr, but at the conclusion of the pre mier's speech Mr. Clyne, their chief, declared the laborltes do not favor soviet Ideas and methods, and that If they were convinced the soviet gov ernment was aggressive, they would be forced to consider 'Supporting the British government. Kameneff outlined the armistice terms the soviet was offering Polnnd, and In some respects they were rea sonable. They Included, however, de mobilisation of the Polish army with in one month and the demobilization of all wnr Industries. Another clause demanded that the families of all Pol ish citizens killed, wounded or inca pacitated in the war shall be given land free. This was looked on as a part of the plan to establish soviet rule In Poland. The encircling movement of the soviet armies carried them across the YVarsaw-Pftnzig raJkitfS'y and down toward the Vistula from the north. But the other rail line .to Danzig, through Thorn, seemed safe for the present. The Polish forces were be ing concentrated and regrouped, and a competent observer, formerly In the American army, declared that though the Polish position was serious It was not desperate. The stories of panic and complete loss of morale he said were false; and were the result of a propaganda by the enemies of Poland. The spirit of the Polish people was still- high, he asserted, and men and women In large numbers were volun teering in all classes of war service. A correspondent who has Just com pleted the trip from Vladivostok to Finland says that from one end of Russia to the other Is heard the cry for food and ' clothing, and Nikolai Lenlne himself Is said to have admit ted that the Russian people cannot pass through another winter like the last. On Wednesday tj»e soviet govern ment signed a provisional peace treaty with Letvln and agreed with Finland upon armistice conditions. These ar rangements will make more difficult the maintenance of a blockade of Rus sia by the allies If that course Is found necessary. Jn Pemln the reds have withdrawn from Enzell and some other places be-, cause of lack of supplies, but they have established hesdquarters of a Persian soviet republic at Ardebll, a little south of the Cnsplna. The old government remains at Teheran, though Its flight has been rumored re peatedly. Greece continues to iiicrense her forces In Asia Minor and has captured some more strategic positions. Kemal Pasha, however, hns not quit by any means and recent dlspntches say 15.- 000 Tartars are on the way to Join his nationalist troops for a great offensive a gains* 'he Greeks, probably on the Smyrna front. According to an agree ment between Italy and Greece the Podecanesua has been transferred to Greek sovereignty except Rhodes, where a plebiscite will be held some time In the future. Technically the world war came to an end Tuesday, so fur aa the allied nations and their opponents are con cerned. On that day the last of the peace treaties, that with Turkey, was signed In Sevres, near Paris. The Jngo-Slavs refused to sign because the treaty provides that the Ottoman debt be partitioned among former Turk lab territories allocated to other states and because Jugo-Slavla did not re ceive Macedonia as she asked. The United States did not sign the treaty owing to President Wilson's objection 'to the presence of the sultan In Con stantinople, the allocation of Thrace and Smyrna to Greece, and the Asia Minor mandates. The British parliament has passed nnd the king has approved the new Jrlsh coercion bill. The debate In the house of commons was bitter. Very optimistic persons think the law will restore order In Ireland. Much Interest and some excitement were caused by the British govern ment's course In dealing with the visit of Archbishop Mannlx of Australia, the warm advocate of free Ireland, who spent some weeks In the Unlteftl Stntes. He Intended to land in Ire land, but government agents removed him from the liner tnd put him ashore pt Penzance under technical arrest He proceeded to London, but his move ments were restricted by orders. He received Invitations to address meet ings In many places in England. Scot land and Ireland. The treatment of the archbishop looks, at this distance, like a characteristic bit of British "muddling," but probably the govern ment knew whc-t It was about. To an interviewer the churchman said what he wanted was to see England get ouj of Ireland, intimating that the latter ns an independent country would be no more the enemy of Great Britain that it is now. Another big wage Increase award was made last week by the United States railway labor board, the em ployees of the American Railway Ex press company being the beneficiaries this time. They were granted a flat Incrense of 16 cents an hour nnd the total will amount to $30,556,445 a year. The heads of the four unions affected appeared well satisfied with the award. The railway rate Increase ran against a snag In Illinois when the state public utilities commission ruled that the 2-cent passenger fare In the state wan restored by the passing of the wartime transportation act; de nied applications for Increases to 3.6 cents per mile, for increased surcharges on Pullman and parlor car fares, for Increase of commutation rates and for Increased milk rates; and denied application for 40 per cent Increase in freight rates, granting a temporary Increase of 33 1-3 per cent. Franklin Roosevelt was formally notified Monday of his nomination for the vice presidency by the Democrats, and two days later opened the Demo cratic campaign In Chicago with a speech in which he made a special plea for the support of the old Bull Moose element. Both In this address and In bis speech of acceptance he ex hibited n spirit of fair-mindedness that won commendation. Governor Cox began Ids speaking tour the latter part of the week. The front porch campaign plans for Senator Harding have not been chnnged, but the Republican leaders will make extensive use of "publicity" —news stories, advertising and the movies. It was expected that Harding would soon declare himself as to just what kind of a League of Nations he thinks would be acceptable to the American people, for he does not wish the nation to believe that because he Is against the Wilson league, he is against any league. The prohibition nominees. Watklns nnd Colvln, both delivered their ac ceptance speeches at Oermantown. 0.. and plans were made to carry on a vigorous campaign, largely by air plane. Charles Ponr.l of Boston, whose sen sational operations In International postal coupons attracted the attention of the authorities, cnine to grief, at least temporarily, when a state hank examiner closed the Hanover Trust company, throujth which he carried on much of his business and he was ar rested on a state larceny charge.

They were chosen by contest, one from each of the five bor oughs of Greater New York, to repre sent the scout councils of tfiose nor oughs. They are: John Prest, Brooklyn council. He Is seventeen years old and an Eagle scout with 24 merit badges for special achievements In scouting. Cyril s McDermott, Manhattan coun cil. He Is sixteen years old and Is an Eagle scout with 26 merit badges. Herbert Jacobl, Queens council. He Is twelve years old and Is the youngest First Class scout In the borough. „ Walter Perry, Richmond council. He Is fifteen years old and a Second Class scout. I John Breitleser, Bronx council. He Is fourteen years did and a First Class scout. None of these boys ever before trav eled any considerable distance from New York, and the experiences they have had on this trip are all nev? and wonderful to them. The Far Western Travelers' associa tion has been active for years in the "See America First" movement Its president, John B. Patton, in seeking concrete ways to show faith by works, followed the suggestion of Huston Thompson, federal trade commission er, to send city boys to the national parks. Naturally they were to be boy scouts, and from the biggest city. But President Patton says: "The Far Western Travelers' association claims Mr*. John J. McDermott Bidding Good by to Her Bon, CyHI, Who Is One of the New York Boy Scouta Who Won Trips to National Parka. no monopoly of this plan and 9 hopes other organizations will follow our lead until thousands of boys from many cities will each year be given oppor tunity to get the spirit of bigness of our country as are these five scouts from the East. We believe this to be practical Americanization." The parks being visited by the five New York boy scouts are: Rocky Mountain National park; the Grand Canyon, Yosemlte Valley National park, Crater Lake, Mt Rainier, Gla cier and Yellowstone National parks. They started from New York July 7 and are scheduled to return Septem ber 4. BRAVE BUT MODEST SCOUT. Star Scout Harold Strohmeyer of Troop No. 8, Kansas City, has been cited for bravery by the city council for his courageous fight with four ban dits who recently attempted hold up the bank where Strohmeyer works. His deed received considerable public ity at the time of the attempted rob bery, but the fact that he was a boy scout did not come out until later, when, through efforts of members of the local scout council, the city coun cil passed a resolution commending him for his bravery rihd authorizing the mayor to present him with • gold medal. MANSION FOR BOY SCOUTS. The- beautiful mansion and spacious grounds of Ambassador David fe. Francis, in St Louis, Mo„ have been leased for ten years at a nominal sum to the St Louis council of boy scouts, the national Junior chamber of com merce, and the local council of the junior chamber. The residence, which was built 25 years ago, is the head quarter* of the three organisations.
