"RVICEJ . LONDON. Aug. o Smashing a.l lolU opposition, the Russian Red army has advanced to within 33 milea of Warsaw, according to a tireless dbt.atch from Berlin today. The East 1- ussian frontier has ben closed near Veidenburg. where the Russians are reported to have concentrated a considerable force of cavalry. The threat of allied military intervention tr- save Poland from complete anilhilatian loomed stronger today. According to the Daily Express the British army council has made all arrangements to mobilize two army corp upon an hour's notice. ON EVE OF BIG NEWS All of the British newspapers hint ' that momentous events will hinge upon tha outcome of the conference r-hich Premier Lloyd Georje held yesterday with M. Krassin and M. Karricne" heads of the Bolshevik trade mission in London. It was reported, but without official confirmation, that Great Britain threatens to go to war against Russia unless the Red drive is stopped. The Times openly charges that soviet Russia concluded a secret treaty with Germany a few weeks before the offensive began. The main provisions according to The Times, were as follows: TO CRVSH POLAND t T5, .i. to aDnropriate all cf Po land's arms, ammunition, foodstuffs and railway rolling stock without in-j terference from Germany. : 2 After Poland was crushed the Rusj eians were to "evacuate Polish soil In j favor of uermany. The Daily Mail understands that the latest communication sent by Great Britain to Mosco wwas couched in the language of an ultimatum.

' ; v' Holland EoLshcvist E. CHICAGO FINDS NEW casus SLIP A sl.p In the census enumeration is responsible for the fact that by official census records Hammond has a population of just thirty-six more than East Chicago. In reality East Chicago's population exceeded that of Hammond at the time c-f the enumeration by about two hundred. This assertion was made by East Chi cago city officials yesterday after the Standard Oil Company had appeared at the building commissioner's office and take-n ox building ptsrmita for twentysix bunk houses, a recreatic-n house, a commissary and a kitchen, ail of which were erected during the war and have been standing in East Chicago for the past ccKipIo of years. At the time the bunk houses were erected by the Standard it was supposed that all of the houses were in Whiting and, city officials assert, the same impression was held by the census enumerators. Because of this supposition the workmen who were living in the bunk-houses at the time of tho enumeration were listed under Whiting's figures and were lost to East Chicago. A few days agj Building Commissioner Henry Landefleld discovered that twenty-six of the bunk-houses are on the East Chicago side of the line and Immediately notified the Standard officials that it wc-uld be necessary for them to secure building permits. It required only a short time to demonstrate that the buildings are on East Chicago property and yetterday the building permits were Issued. The cost of the twenty-six bunk houses is given as $Sl.s;0, the recreation house $4.7;0, commissary $3. SIT and kitchen J3.l;'3. It is not the $69,000 building permits which have official East Chicago agog, but the fact that through a fluke. Hammond was able to secure a higher census enumeration than Eart Chicago. Instead of being Hammond. 36.004, E. Chicago 33.0GS. city officials assert that tho tally should hive read something like East Chicago. 36. 200; Hammond S6.004. An attempt will be made to have the official figures at Washington corrected but city officials fear that such a taak will be difficult, if not impossible. DEMOCRATS NAME FRIENDOF LEAGUE ST.

Everyone who looked at Joe's mash or got within smelling distance vowed then and there never again to touch moonshine.

V jtf "... ' BY EARL C. REEVES) fSTTF CORSEISPONOENT I..N. SERVICE) . . LONDON. August o. Allied Europe rests today upon the brink of another great conflict as a rer-ult of the swiftly movirfg events in the Polish debacle, according to frankly expressed opinion in and out cf official circles." The Russian soviet government -has not replied to the British note of Tuesday threatening .military -intervention un'.ero Russian advance in Poland is halted, and the Russian war office communique wireless from Mwcow today shows that the great red army is stil! plunging ahead at top speed. Premier Lloyd Georsre. however, announced in the house of commons thii afterroc-n that he had been' riotiffed that the Russian reply was being sent to M. Kamaneff. An unofficial press dispatch from Berlin said that advance patrols of red. cavalry were within 50 miles of Warpaw, but the Russian communique nti tioned fighting no closer, than 53 mile. from the Polish capital. Great Erltain has already begun war preparations, according to the Evening News. This newspaper made the sensational declaration that steps are being taken to mobilize the British navy, and that the government is considering a proposal to- call for volunteers for service in Poland. A dispatch to Paris from Basle, said it was reported at Mayencl. headquarters of the French crmy of occupation in Germany, that France is preparing to prr.d an srmv through Bavaria and Czecho-Slovakla' to Poland's aid. The French foreign office, however, said it rad no knowledge of any orders for such a movement of troops. This was the day upon w-hich the Russians were to hand their peace terms to the Poles at Minsk, but Instead of "peace news" coming out of the east, the dispatches were all of war. The Russians instead of staying their advance, have extended their battle-line and the offensive now extends SO miles south of the Brody district into the Southeastern . Galacia where the Russiansare rolling back the Poles in the Tarnopo! and Czortkof sectors towards the Stripa river. Insistent belief is expressed in British official circles that the soviet army has gotten out of hand and that the Rusian high command is defying Moscow. Opinion is expressed that Lenine and his civil colleagues are powerless to check the power ' cf the w-ar machine which is rolling Its ruthless w-a'y westward i British officials, who claim to have knowledge of conditions behind the Rusian fron. say that Lenine would gladly check the onrushinj Red army if he could. Official news channels f.-m Warsaw were strangely silent today regarding the movement of the Polish government It Is likely that the government is already n the way to Cracow In view of the fresh advances made by the Red troops in the pact 24 hours. France Is insisting upon Immediate action, 'but Premier Lloyd George is hesitating to take a step which may have such vast possibilities. Th French prei-s is clamoring for the Immediate expulsion of the' Bolshevik trade commissioners but Downing St. is keeping them in London in the hope, that they may be utilised as intermediaries if any ray of light breaks through fhe darkening crisis.
