Hope, that former l'res't Taft, would aid tou'.inl electing a senate favoring the league of Nations was expressed by Gov. Cox, democratic presidential nominee. "We have every expectation." said the statement, "that Judge Taft will urge republicans in any state where a primary contest la on for the nomination of a candidate for United States senator support the man or men who are in favor of the Leaguo of Nations. By no doir.gr, he can consistently remain a republican in the face of hla statement that the. position of his presidential candidate on this question Is wrong." PcnHXTatic Successes. Gov. Cox's statement was prompted by reports of success in the Missouri and OklahVia democratic senatorial primariefCf r.ro-league candidates and byjTsri ranee of a democratic victory iTCcNew Hampshire. Gordon "Woodbury, New Hampshire's representative on the notification committee Thursday told the democratic candidate that the democrats would carry that state and also would defeat Sen. Moses, republican. Gov. Cox accepted tentatively an invitation to make at leapt one address In New Hampshire probably at Manchester between August 20 and Sept. 1, subject to arrangements of the speakers' bureau. The candidate wild ho hoped to make several .iddnisses in New England about that time, having tentative dates in Connecticut and Massachusetts. He has never visited New England. Much time was devoted by Gov. Cox Thursday to a survey of the woman suffrage fight of Tennessee. He exchanged Tennesse information with Mrs. Abby Scott Hiker of the National Woman's party and said that it was "a very complex situation." partly because of state constitutional questions raised regarding Jurisdiction of the legislature to act on the proposed federal amendment. Much Work. Gov. Cox said much work would i i be required betöre iavoraoie action . m m Vi in Tennessee could be assurca. lie had not received the messages of the legislature urging "a hands off" policy and did not indicate his prospective replies. Mrs. Uaker said th.it the democratic nominee was doing much more effective work in Tennessee than Sen. Harding, the republican candidate. Gov. Cox has been sending telegrams and doing work that really counts, said Mrs. Raker, who visited Sen. Harding yesterday, "while Sen. Harding has been sending telegrams asking how he mlcht help." It was suggested that the governor might lsit Tennessee but this was deemed Im probable. SOUTH BEND-ELKHART IMPROVED ROAD WILL BE FINISHED SOON Special to The News-Times. KhKHAlvT, Ind., Aug. 3.

KLINE ISSUES NEW TRAFFIC ORDERS TO ACCOMMODATE ELITE

If you are the owner of a private car you may make a complete turn at all corners, but if you operate a jitney bus or a truck, or mlKht be mistaken for a Joy rider, beware of the, strong arm of Peter Kline, chief of polic. The following order was issued to all traffic officers Thursday evening. "Instruct all officers to allow private autos to make a complete turn at all corners except Jitney busses and Joy riders. . "BY ORDER OK CHIEF KLINE" At present the traffic officers are gallantry struggling trying to outline a system of discrimination to comply with their chief's orders If people visiting the business section notico any of the officers scratch ing their heads or assuming the attitude o fstudy and deep thought, they need not wonder at the officer's conduct as they are merely trying to decipher the chief's latest traffic order. SAYS IRELAND'S CAUSE WILL WIN ' AMERICAN FAYOR Prof. Foley Charges Northcliff e With Installing System of Hate. , "TVhen Ireland's cause is thoroughly understood by the American people here will be no question but that the sympathy of America will be 100 percent with Ireland." declared Prof. Daniel Foley, of Boston Trades Union college, speaker before the meeting held In behalf of Irish freedom Thursday night at Elks' Temple. Prof. Foley, who spoke on the economic side of the Irish question, was followed by Itev. A. W. Allen, Episcopal minister of Brooklyn, who covered the religious usp-ct of the situation. Declaring that the British "government was seeking to draw a blind over the eyes of the American peop'e in regard to the Irish situation, Prof. Foley charged that many of the newspapers of America had been subsidized on the side of England to spread a propaganda poisonous to Ireland. "We have the word of Lord NorthcllfTe," he raid, "made on his return to Kngland some time ago. that he left $2.rft.000,000 and 2,000 paid agents in the United States to carry on this propaganda in the press with its ultimateaim being that the United States might come into the British union of imperialistic state." Changes Policy. He further declared that ten days from the time Lord Northcllffe left Boston one Boston editor pa-s.se d a draft through the banks made payable from a British source, and that the policy of his paper immediately took a rapid change favoring Britain's policies in all things, and particularly her foreign and colonial policy. "Bight here in South Bend you can get an excellent example of the scopo of the propaganda spread through these agents if you will pick up the South Bend Tribune of this (Thursday) afternoon and read its editorial regarding the Irish situation: an editorial which completely covers up the real situation In Europe. Vet in an article on the situation of affairs in Belfast on page one of the same edition you can find the explanation of the whole Irish issue. In explanation he referred to the statement made by the Belfast correspondent that the employing class in Ireland is responsible for the differences among the working clashes because it Is worklnc on the rellgioug feelings offbnth side with a view to making it impossible for labor to present a solid front in resisting England. "We of the east, who have seen the photographic copy of the draft passed by the Boston editor, are able to pass our own judgment as we read the editorial of the Tribune," he said. In continuing he drew a detailed parallel of the cause of Ireland today and the cause of America in the Revolution. "Kxactlv the same conditions maintained in the 13 colonies as maintain in Ireland today." he declared in pointing to the relations which prevailed between Ireland and America in the revolutionary days, "Wo read In the letters of Boston tories In the revolutionary period their appeals to the king for protection." until those law breaking rebels. Washington. Jefferson. Adams and the others could bo subjugated. "Sinn Fein is the same cause as Benjamin Franklin advocated in Ireland in 1769 when he went to appeal to Ireland for assistance for the colonies of America. "Ireland responded with soldiers for our army and sailors for our navy, with officers and with guns. We can take the word of Prof. Fite, of the University of Wisconsin, who Is neither Irish nor of Irish descent. He writes in his historical texts used throughout the United States that o0 percent of Washington's army was of Irish blood. Lord Cornwallls himself, in making his report to England after his surrender, declared that "the revolt was a success because of the rebellious Irish." lie quoted the passape from Washingtons message to the Irish revolutionists in ITS when the first president said: "Patriots of Ireland, be strong In hope, your cause is Identical with mine."

GLIMMER OF HOPE SEEN WHEN POLES SHOW RESISTANCE Encouraged hy Wave of Patriotism and Arrival of Munitions; Py Asseelated Press: PABIS, Aug. 3. Inspired by a wave of patriotism in the rear and encouraged by the arrival of arms and munitions, the Polish army seems to bo stiffening in its defense against the invasion of the bolshevik, who are virtually at the gates of Warsaw, Poland's capital. Although hut vague and somewhat contradictory reports hav reached Paris Thursday, it is regarded here Thursday night that the Poles still have a chance of stopping the red drive and limiting the extent of the disaster. They apparently have not altogether abandoned the line of the Bug river. The BrestLltovsk forts at last accounts were still In the possession of the Poles and denial is made that the bo!shevlkl have reached Ostrolenko. The Polish staff even has been able to launch two counter offensives, in the north In the region of Lomzo, and in the extreme south in Galieia. SUmlug l'p. Another factor held by military observers to favor the Poles is that, in view of the Imperfect transport of the bolsheviki, their rate of progress necessarily must decrease as the length of their line of communication increases. "The allies have not yet, as far as is known, decided on what course to pursue in the Polish situation, hut exchanges of views were going on all day between the Paris and Louden governments." SITVATIO.V CONl'lSLN(i. Br Assoelnted Press: WASHINGTON'. Aug. 5. The Polish situation, described at the state department Thursday as one of Vonfusion and congestion," is understood to have become the subject of diplomatic exchange not only between the allied governments, but between the allied rowers and the United States. Tho trend of the exchanges was not disclosed in otlicial circles here and silence was maintained by officials generally us to the international aspects of the Polish debacle. PltOMlSKI) LOOT. Uy .psociated Press: LONDON. Aug. 6. The Russian foviet's reply to Great Britain's all for a halt of the bolshevik advance In Poland Is a refusal, according to the London Times. The newspaper says the ground taken is that the armies would not obey an order to halt and will only be content when they reach Warsaw, which has been promised to them for loot. The Herald, the laborite organ, says Thursday that the British North sea squadron has been ordered to the Baltic sea. and that Instructions have been issued to reimpose the blockade against Russia.

COMMITTEE OF

48 WILL QUIT FARMER-LABOR Internal Quarrels and Counter Charges Start in Organization. By Associated Tress: NEW YORK. Aug. 5. An announcement that the committee of 4 8 was preparing to withdraw formally from all connection with the farmer-labor party of which Parley P. Christensen is the presidential nominee, Thursday followed closely charges by H. A. MacCollem and Charles A. "Weaver, who in resigning as officials and members of the Utah farmer-labor organization, charged the party was controlled by the Industrial Workers of the World. Reorganizaticn of tho committee of 4 8 along the original lines of the party will be undertaken at a meeting of the executive committee next Monday, according to Allen McCurdy, secretary of the 4 8. In a statement issued Thursday he said the farmer-labor party is a "radical" organization and does not adhere to the principles upon which the committee of 4S attempted to build a national party. Not Under I. W. V. Replying to the charges of McCollem and Weaver. Mr. Christensen declared the farmer-labor party Is not under I. W. W. control, but is composed of "every day Americans seeking relief from the intolerable economic autccracy obtaining in this country." In a formal .statement. Mr. Christensen challenged the political integrity of MeCollem and Weaver. Mr. McCurdy delivered the keynote address at the Chicago convention last month when the committee of forty-eight attempted, through amalgamation with the labor and single tax parties and adherents of other political creeds, to form a I arty which should "oppose with equal firmness both reaction and revolution." Introduce dulld. "Tho labor party of the United Stater." Mr. McCurdy said. "Started out to create a class party which should appeal only to organized workers to the end that control of the American Federation of Iabor should pass frrm its present leadership Into that of the insurgents and to Introduce guild socialism into American life. "It is plain to any Intelligent person that it Is Impossible for these two to meet, to join, merge or amalgamate. Oil ami wter do not mix." Mr. McCurdy asserted that while the committee of 4 had been nominally represented at the convention which nominated Mr. Christensen, most of tho leaders and delegates had gone to their hom.es when they "saw that the principles of th forty-elchters had been swallowed completely bv the radicalism of the laborite?." Before starting for Nashville. Tonn., late Thursday. Mr. Christensen sent telegrams to Sen. Harding and Gov. Cox of Ohio, urging that they go in rrrson to the southern state to urge passage of the woman suffrage amendment by the Tennessee legislature.
