Correspondence and more political conferences occupied Senator Harding most of today, although he set aside i time in the afternoon to receive a delegation from Ohio state university and to visit as a guest of honor the reunion here of civil war veterans of the old Fourth Ohio infantry.

pore h. but he did not intend to make a speech. Says White Wilson's Choice. . Senator Watson, of Indiana, who came to Marton yesterday to see the nominee, issued a statement today declaring that George White's selection as Democratic national chairman had helped cement President Wilson's hold on the Democratic organization. "Mr. White is himself a Princeton t graduate" said the statement. "I have often talked with him about the president, his admiration for whom he has made no secret. Mr. White's selection was no compromise at all, because President Wilson wins at all points."

DAYTON, O., Aug. 5. With his presidential nomination ceremonies only two days distant. Governor Cox, the Democratic candidate was hard pressed today with preliminary details and closing up Ohio executive and personal affairs to be free for the campaign after next Saturday's event. Many Democratic leaders, Including George White, chairman of the national committee, and Senator Harrison of Mississippi, head of the speakers' bureau, were reported enroute here for pre-notification conferences. The advance guard of Democratic pilgrims also was expected. Hotels were filling up, more decorations appearing and the local committee on arrangements was busy completing preparations for the Democratic conclave. Campaign Committee Discussion Make up of the special campaign committee, and the speaking itinerary of Governor Cox and his running mate, Franklin D. Roosevelt, are the principal affairs remaining to complete the campaign organization. Announcements are expected soon after Chairman White and other prominent in the Cox-Roosevelt organization can consult. An aggressive fight was announced yesterday by Governor Cox in his address at a picnic of local Democrats in which he declared the Democrats would be on the offensive and charged the Republicans with "ploughing around the stump," and presenting opposition of "expediency pure and simple" by appeal to various groups. The governor also declared his acceptance speech would be so plain that it could be understood by school children. To care for the crowds expected on Saturday, Dayton residents are being asked to throw open their homes to visitors over the week-end and also to donate automobiles to meet visiting delegations. Large quotas as reported coming from nearby states and even Pennsylvania and New York. Fair Grounds Are Prepared. Arrangements at the Montgomery county fair grounds where the ceremonies will take place, were well toward completion today, the temporary amphitheatre for the notification pnd national committees, the press and distinguished guests being virtually finished. Wires were strung to the judges' stand on the race track, from which Governor Cox will speak, and the magna vox, or sound amplifying device was to be installed today and tested tomorrow, possibly by the governor himself. Governor Cox summoned extra stenographers to his office here today in the hope of clearing his desk completely of state and other affairs to .'leave him free for the campaign here after. One of the question before lilm was a further move in Tennessee In an effort to effect ratification of the federal woman suffrage amendment.

Numbers Greater Defends Women

"No matter how good the home is our children are not safe so long as the community does not measure up to the standard of the home," Mrs. Meredith adds. Poll Takers Baffled. Republican and Demdcratic workers who have been taking polls in Richmond recently are reporting that there are a number of men voters being listed as "doubtful" who in former years were known to be either active Republicans or Democrats. As a rule, the "doubtful" voter informs the poll taker that he "hasn't made up his mind." "The fact that quite a number of men are being listed as 'doubtfuls' does not indicate, in my opinion, that no interest is being taken in political affairs, which assertion has been frequently made of late," said a poll taker. "I have found, on the contrary, a general interest in the campaign, but Mr. Voter Is not doing a whole lot of talking. He is doing considerable thinking, though. I believe there will (Continued on Page Two) LLOYD-GEORGE HEARS IRISH UNIONISTS (By Associated Press) LONDON, Aug. 5.

REDS, GERMANY, HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING, IS TALK IN LONDON

LONDON, Aug. 5. Soviet Russia concluded a secret treaty with Germany concerning Poland a few weeks before the great Polish offensive began, says a correspondent of the London Times. He claims he has secured the Information from "excellent authority." The treaty, it Is asserted, contained the following provisions: Russia without Interference from Germany, would be allowed to appropriate all of Poland's arms, munitions, rolling stock and foodstuffs. After the conquest of Poland, permission would be given Russia to send a number of Bolshevik commisioners Into that country to control the export of Polish supplies of all kinds. Would Empty the Country. Russia would then undertake to completely evacuate Poland in favor of Germany, which would hold the country as a guarantee against future credits to Russia In return for German goods and German labor. "Russia," the correspondent adds, "intends to try to avoid the terms of this treaty by the creation of a Polish Bolshevik army, the first steps in the formation of which are now being taken in occupied areas of Poland. "When Russia withdraws from Poland she will leave this Polish army, permitting Germany to take such steps as she can to face the situation. The Bolshevik! are convinced England will not materially aid Poland, and will wage their next campaign against Rumania in Bessarabia." No Threat of War by Britain. Statements printed here by extremists newspapers that Great Britain has threatened to declare war against Soviet Russia if the Bolshevik advance into Poland was not halted, have not been confirmed in authoritative quarters. Leo Kameneff, president of the Moscow soviet, is reported to have sent a message to his government asking that Russia accept immediately the original British proposals for an armistice with Poland. While it is generally agreed that the allies are taking an emphatic stand upon the terms sent by Earl Cur;on, British secretary of state fori foreign affairs, to George Tchitcherin, j Bolshevik foreign minister, on July 20, j in which he stated that if the Soviet government made war upon the Polish j people, the allies would assist the ; Poles, nothing reliably is known which ; would justify the assumption that such assistance would take the form of a I declartation of war, with all such a declaration would involve. Blockade to Be WeaDon. - In military quarters here ths viewi Is taken that the Allies principal weapon against the Bolsheviki, if it is decided to oppose them, will be the blockade and that the Poles will, if possible, be given supplies. Doubt is expressed, however, as to the possibility of conveying supplies to the Polish army in the event that the Bolsheviki capture Warsaw and close the corridor leading from Poland to j Danzig, in tnis case a DiocKaae migni. be the only means of helping Poland. Legations Will Withdraw. The American, British and French legations will withdraw when the Polish government is forced to leave, but the course to be pursued by the American legation will depend upon Instructions from Washington. While the Poles have considered the question of a withdrawal of the government, as yet there is no official announcement concerning the time it will leave or where it will go. GRUNAU GALLS AT WHITE HOUSE TODAY (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON. D. C. Aug. 5 A committee representing the United Association of Railway Employees of North America, headed by John Grunau. president of the Chicago Yardmen's association, called at the White house today to discuss with Secretary Tumulty the situation growing out of the refusal of some employees to return to work.

Chickering, of Piedmont, Calif., in charge of the workers in Warsaw read "All well; leaving soon unless armistice."

CREST OF RED WAVE TOWERS OVER WARSAW Bolshevik Thousands Pouring On To Lemberg and Capital Poles Send Message Asking a Conference. SEEMS TSURRENDER (By Associated Press) Efforts by the armies of the Polish republic to stem the tide of the Russian Bolshevik invasion which threatens Warsaw seem to have been futile. Brest-Litovsk, the last bastion in the permanent defenses east of the Polish capital, is in the hands of the soviet armies; and Lomza. an important railroad junction and strategic base to the northeast, and Kovel. northeast of Brest-Litovsk, have been given up by the Poles. West of Brest-Litovsk the Poles still hold the great forts that have made that city one of the principal fortresses of eastern Europe, but soviet troops have been flung across the Bug river further to the northwest, and it would appear this move will compel a retirement of the Poles from their defenses. Russians Imitate Gen. Mackensen The Russians are advancing in echelon after the tactics adopted by General Mackensen when he led the German armies in the great Dunajeo campaign during the world war, and the Poles are repeatedly being outflanked and forced to leave positions they have held for days againts frontal attacks. The Polish armistice commission leaves Warsaw for Minsk today to meet representatives of the Moscow government for the purpose of arranging an armistice and beginning peace negotiations. There are many reports of allied action to stop the advance of the Bolsheviki or to come to the aid of Poland, but as jet nothing authoritative has been reported relative to this phase of the setreingly desperate situation confronted by the infant republic. WARSAW, Aug. 5. Russian soviet primes driving against the Polish lines are maintaining an average progress of six miles per day in the direction of this city. They are being held in the south, however, and in some places are being pushed back from the districts east of Lemberg, which is one of the objectives of their present campaign. Today's official statement issued at general staff headquarters declares the Poles have retaken the town of Brody. near the Galician frontier, aJid have forced the Bolsheviki back into Russia in the region of Radzivlov northeast of Brody. Americans Battle Gen. Budenny. American aviators fighting with the Kosciusko squadron are battling against General Budenny's cavalry and infantry along the Sereth river, where the soviet forces have not made any headway. Parts of this squadron were engaged all day yesterday near Miklicae, where they met Cossacks and BolFheblsm infantry. The losses suffered by the enemy in this district were very heavy, today's official statempnt saying 1,600 Bolsheviki were killed end large numbers were wounded. Russian Bolshevik forces have reached Ostrov, 53 miles north-east of Warsaw and 25 miles southwest of Lomza. Poland Is Ready For Peace. Poland's council of defense has sent a wireless despatch to Moscow informing the soviet government that Poland Mas ready to send a peace delegation to Minsk. Two conditions were laid down by the council. They were: That the Polish delegates be permitted to communicate freely with the Warsaw government, and that the soviet government agrees to accept in principle the terms Poland will propose. The Polish commission arrived here this morning from Baranovitchi, where it was confronted with the Soviet's demand for the initiation of peace conversations. It at once reported to the council of defense and the cabinet and narrated the story of its experiences at Baranovitchy. It was immediately decided to accede to the Bolsheviki demands and send the commission to a peace conference at Minsk. Most Americans, excepting welfare workers and others having business in Warsaw, will have departed from this city by tomorrow night, it was announced by the authorities late today. More than 200 left for Danzig tonight and the American legation has arranged for 300 seat reservations on trains leaving tomorrow. It was seml-officially announced here (Continued on Page Nine) NOW WHEAT SELLS AT $2.44 FOR DAY'S HIGH The grain markets were all feverish Thursday. Wheat made another broad swing.
