Map shows how Poland is menaced. Premier Paderewski is in Paris asking Ihe allies to send troops to restore order in Upper Silesia, or, if they cannot, to let the Polish army march in. Poland, Paderewski says, is fighting a war on almost every foot of its borders. In the east the Poles are fighting daily battles with the Bolsheyiki in the liberated regions of Mi nek and Vilna. Polish soldiers are holding their own in Lithuania and in the Ukraine, in Posen. on the ea:tt Prussian border, and are eagerly awaiting permission to march into Upper Silesia. The Germans in particular are seeking to embarrass Poland in every way they can. They show a very sullen and resentful spirit toward the lew republic because Poland is to get some of the land that formerly wa Germany's. 1 Shows Upper Silesia, where an irregular warfare has besn goin? on between Poles and Germans for some time. This area, as well as a. pari ;f east Prussia, is to have a plebiscite. (Shown in a tint on the map.)

OBREGON STATES AMERICANS DON'T WANT INTERVENTION (By Associated Press) NOGALES, Ariz., Sept. 12. The majority of the American people reject the idea of armed intervention in Mexico, Gen. Alvaro Obregon said in a formal statement here before departing for a tour of Mexico in the interest of his candidacy for the presidency of the republic. "I conclude this from an intimata knowledge of the American people," Gen. Obregon said, "whom I always have 'found to be possessed of a great spirit of brotherhood and fraternity. "It is inconceivable that the United States should wage war on a neighboring country only because of inherent discontent caused by abnormal conditions created through civil war which the Mexican people have been forced into exactly for the same reason which brought about the world war." Gen. Obregon suggested that a survey be made of the events transpiring during the revolutionary period and through the actual constitutional regime of Carranza to see if any actions of the leaders of the constitutional revolution or of the present administration could be construed as an attack on the mutual respect both Americans and Mexicans owe each other. i Gen. Obregon expressed regret at the recurrence of incidents which bring detriment to the harmony and good understanding between the two countries and urged American citizens to Beware or misleading propaganda.
