J. Barrymore
Quietly Weds
Mrs. Thomas
Marriage of Actor and One
Time "Most Beautiful of
American Women" Came
a* Surprise to Friends
Both W e r e Divorced
Bride Prominent in So- j
ciety and Author of Sev?
eral Plays and Poems
"Jack" Barrymore. one of America's
foremost actors, and Mrs. Leonard M.
Thomas, prominent in New York and
Newport society, and pronounced in
1010 as the "most beautiful of Ameri?
can women." were married yesterday
in the apartm>ent of Mrs. John Mc
Culloch at the Ritz-Carlton. Imme?
diately after'the ceremony they left
the city.
While it had been rumored that Mrs.
Thomas was to become the bride of
Mr. Barrymore, the wedding had not
been expected so soon. Only rela?
tives and a few close friends were pres?
ent at the ceremony.
Arrangements for the wedding were
completed hurriedly yesterday morn?
ing. Several persons were invited over
the telephone and at the appointed '
hour had assembled in Mrs. McCul
loch's apartment. The ceremony was
performed by the Rev. Dr. C. D. Bill?
iard. Those present included Mr. and
Mrs. Charles M. Oelrichs, parents of
the bride; Mr, arid Mrs. Charles
de L. Oelrichs, her brother
and sister-in-law; Ethel Barrymore,
s;st. i- ?if Mr. Barrymore; Mr. and Mrs.
Lionel Barrymore, his brother and
sister-in-law, and Mr. and Mrs. Archi?
bald McKay, of Parts.
Second Marriage of Both
It was the second marriage for both
the bride and groom. Mrs. Thomas
was formerly Miss Blanche Oelrichs.
Just after her marriage to Leonard M.
Thomas in MHO Paul Helleu, the cele?
brated French artist, bestowed upon
her the title of thu "most beautiful of
American women."
Mr. Thomas is the son of one of
Philadelphia's wealthiest families, a
graduate of Yale, and a member of a
dozen clubs. For months after the
marriage he and Mrs. Thomas enter?
tained lavishly at their home in Narra
gansett Avenue, Newport.
On April 20 last it became known
that Mrs. Thomas had obtained a di
vorci in Paris. Mrs. Thomas said at
the tune that it happened "many
montl s ago." The announcement of
her divorce was published exclusively
in The Tribune. She ia the author of
a number of plays and poems.
Mr. Barrymore is a member of a
family whose names are intimately
?inked with the theatrical history of
America. His rise in the theater has
been remarkable. Several seasons ago
ho was known essentially as a light
comedian, but the last few years have
witnessed a gradual development in his
talents and a ripening of his art.
Career of Barrymore
One of the early Barrymore suc?
cesses was Richard Harding Davis's
"The Dictator," which had William
Collier for its star. He later appeared
as the star of "The Fortune Hunter,"
which was followed by engagements as
the star of "Uncle Sam," "Believe Me,
Xantippe" and "The Affairs of Anatole."
! He became recognized as a dramatic
actor of rare ability when he appeared
in "Redemption," by Tolstoy. Then
came "Peter Ibbetson," "The Jest,"
in which he was co-starred with
his brother, Lionel, and his last pro?
duction, "Richard III," at the Plymouth
Theater under the direction of Arthur
; Hopkins.
A nervous break-down caused him to
| aban Ion his work in the Shakespearian
production. He returned a short time
i Rgo from a health resort in West
; ehester County. Flans for starring
| him in a new play during the corning
; fall have been under way for some
time.
Mr. Barrymore's first wife was Kath?
erine C. Harris, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Sidney Harris, of New York. They
. . i ried September 1, 1910, in the
Chuuch oT St. Francis Xavier. Miss
Harris later appeared with him in
eve Me, Xantippe." In December,
1917, Mrs. Barrymore, after living in
i alifornia for a year, obtained an in
?rlocutory divorce at Santa Barbara
on t he ground of desertion.

Anlo Crash
Mr. and Mrs. R. J. Halle-;
well and Daughter Are
Killed When Train Hits
Car Near Biiighamton
Crossing Scene of
Many Accidents I
Had Just Bought Machine
in Syracuse and Were
on Way to Scranton, Pa.
From r. Special Correspondent
BINGHAMTON, N. Y., Aug. 5. R. J. ;
Hallewell, of New York, his wife and
their twelve-year-old daughter were
killed when an Erie Railroad passengor I
train hit their automobile at Newberry
Crossing, near here, this afternoon.
The girl still breathed when help ar?
rived, but died before she could b?
taken to a hospital.
Mr. Hallewell was secretary of the !
A. G. Spalding Sporting Goods Com
pany, 12-1 Nassau Street, New York, j
The car he was driving, a sedan, was
fresh from the factory. He had been ?
to Syracuse to get it and was on his !
way from that city to Scranton. Pa.
The erossing where the accident took
place is o i the main highway to New
York and is regarded as one of the
most dangerous on the route. It has
been the scene of numerous accidents,
several of them fatal. The approach
on the Binghamton side descends a
steep hill and traverses a deep cut just
before reaching the tracks. The walls !
of the cut obscure the tracks until the ;
motorist emerges, almost at the cross?
ing.
The Public Service Commission re- !
cently ordered the crossing at grade
to be eliminated. Material for the re
construction work lies beside the road
and workmen are expected to take up
their task within a few days.
Brakemen riding on the top of a
freight car saw Hallewell's machine
coming down the winding hillside road
toward the tracks, its new paint flash- |
ing in the sun, and at the same moment. ,
heard No. 4, a passenger train, whistle
for the crossing.
The automobile emerged from the
cut and took the incline to the crossing
before its driver perceived the train,
which then was only a few yards away.
A plume of steam rose from the whistle
dome of the locomotive and the valley.
resounded to the shriek, while the
train rocked and bucked to the sudden
application of the brakes.
Hallewell was twisting fiercely at his
steering wheel and managed to swerve
his car parallel to the tracks when his
front wheels were almost upon the
rails. It seemed to the watchers on
the freight that he had cleared the
train unless the rough going jarred the
steering wheel from his grasp for a
moment. I
His automobile was so close to the
train, however, that one of the coaches,
swaying violently -to the pull of the
brakes, rocked toward the automobile
at the moment that a rut careened that '
vehicle slightly toward the train.
The side of the coach ripped the ?
sedan body from ;he chassis and flung
it on ahead. Mr. Hallewell, his wife. :
and daughter dropped from the uphol?
stered projectile, rolled down the rail?
road embankment and lay still.
As soon as the passenger train had
come to a standstill members of its
crew, together with men from the
freight train who had seen the acci?
dent, hastened to the three injured
persons. The girl was the only one in
whom life remained, and she died be?
fore their eyes.
The odometer on the car showed
that it had been driven only 124 miles.
It was assumed thai its brakes and
other mechanism must have been in
perfect condition. Coroner F. H. Good?
win has started an investigation,^! the
accident.

Correction of Error
In the Army Orders
Owing to ? typographical error
The Tribuno yesterday published
under the head of "Army Or?
ders" and the sub-head "Dishon?
orably Discharged" a list of army
officers. The sub-head should have I
been "Honorably Discharged"
and the dispatch should have
read as follows:
Honorably Discharged
Carmichael, Capt. \V. A., U. S. A.
Donaldson, Et. W. E., infantry.
Russell, 2d Et. E. A., infantry.
Tyson, ('apt. II. A., engineers.

Mitchell, Lt, W. I., M. T. C.
McKcnny, Et. L. A., Sic. C.
Parker, Lt. W. O., Tank G.
Troy, Chaplain (Cap',..) .1. A.
The word "honorably" was
correctly given in the copy, and
the mistake was entirely typo?
graphical. The Tribune regrets
the error and makes this correc?
tion as quickly and as completely
as possible.

DENVER. Aug. 5. ? One man was
killed and between thirty and thirty
five persons, including Chief of Police
Hamilton Armstrong and eight or ten
other policemen, were injured, several
seriously, in rioting between , s-triking
streetcar men, their sympathizers and
strikebreakers to-night. Five street?
cars have been wrecked and the plant
of "The Denver Post" was badly dam?
aged by the crowd.
The mob gathered in front of the
"Post" building just after the first earn
were attacked. The crowd dispersed
after taking copies of the afternoon
edition from newsboys and littering
the streets with them. "The Post" has
opposed the strike.
The crowd, for a second time, gath?
ered in front of "The Post." Nearly all
?if the windows in the present niant, a
three-story building, and in a new one
being built next door were broken
when "Post" employees hoisted an
American flag over the building-. The
rioting subsided slightly but was re?
newed a few minutes later with greater
v:gor.
The mob then entered the building.
Hammers and spikes were thrown into
the linotype machines, paper rolls were
moved into the streets, water poured on
the presses, which were also damaged by
hammers.
Shots were fired several times during
the trouble and a number of persons
were wounded. Others were injured by
being struck by flying bricks and other
missiles.
The mob late to-night was gather?
ing in front of the tramway building
where the strike-breakers are housed.
but had attempted no violence.
The rioting started Ibis afternoon
when two cars manned by strike
I reakers were forced to stop by a
motor truck on the track. After the
cars were halted a parade of strikers
and sympathizers, who had been con?
ducting a demonstration at the City
Hall, reached the corner. There were
1,000 in the parade. Fighting imme?
diately became general and has con?
tinued almost steadily ever since in
various portions of the city.
Three cars were wrecked and two
others were turned on their sides in
front of the Cathedral of the Immacu?
late Conception. Strikebreakers who
manned the last two cars took refuge
inside the? cathedral, nnd remained
there until rescued by the police.

WARSAW, Aug. 5 (By The Associ?
ated Press).?The Bolshevik offensive
against the Poles along the Bug River
between Brest-Litovsk and the eon
fluence of the Nurzec has been stopped.
The Polish counter-offensive north and
south is developing successfully, and
the new Polish army concentrated be- '
iween the Narew and Bug rivers has ;
driven the enemy back to the edge of j
the province of Grodno, notwithstand
ing the pressure of the Bolshevik forces ;
which crossed the Narew opposite'
Lomza.
In Volhynia, the Polish positions
upon the Upper Styr, on the Stochod
and in the Pripet marshes are holding
well.
Polish Boys Enlist
Enemy cavalry continues advancing
along the Prussian frontier in the di?
rection of the Danzig-Mlawa-Warsaw |
Railroad, but in view of the small ;
number of effectives employed, this ?
movement, aimed at the Thorn region,1
constitutes for the moment at least !
only an extensive demonstration
against. Polish Pomerania.
With the Bolsheviki virtually knock?
ing at the gates of Warsaw the popu- \
lace has been aroused to the highest
pitch of patriotic fervor.-' The entire
press declares that Warsaw must not
surrend?.'!'.
Fresh drafts of conscripts and many
volunteers are moving toward the
front, many of them boys, fourteen ,
and fifteen years of age. The govern- !
ment in its extremity has called to the
colors the classes of 1890 to 1895 from
the district between the rivers Vistula
and San for the defense of this section.
BERLIN, Aug. 5 (By The Associated
Press).?Fighting is now going on vir- '?
tually on the plains before Warsaw,
says the "Tageblatt's" special East'
Prussian frontier correspondent. If i
the Red army succeeds in breaking]
through the Chorzelle-Pultusk line, he
adds, it. will have arrived before the!
torts of Warsaw.
(Chorzelle is about seventy miles i
north of Warsaw, while Pultusk lies
about thirty-live miles north of the j
capital.)
Heavy fighting is reported by the
correspondent to be proceeding at
Novgorod (northwest Russia). He says
that on August 1 and 2 Russian re?
serves, comprising 30,000 infantry
mid a regiment of field artillery,
passed through Crajevo on the way t'o
Novgorod.
LONDON, Aug. 5 (By The Associated
Press).?The Bolsheviki, by the capt?
ure yesterday of Ostrov, have forced
their way within fifty-three miles of
Warsaw, despite the increasingly stub?
born opposition which is being offered
by tit?' Polish armies along the River
Bug.
I- ierce fighting is going on about j
Brest-Litovsk, from which the Poles j
were driven. Resistance is being con-,
firmed, however, west of the Bug
River, where the Brest-Litovsk forts on j
that bank of the stream still are held ]
by General Pilsudski's forces.
Further south the Poles have evacu?
ated Kovel and are falling back, but
in the Galician sector the recapture of
Brody in a counter attack is reported
by Warsaw.
Warsaw Prepares Defense
Warsaw dispatches also report the
arrival in a steady stream of war mu?
nitions, including tanks, from Danzig,
and these are expected to enable the

ST. LOUIS, Mo., Aug. 5. Three men
are reported to have been killed, many
injured and several homes of foreign
residents fired to-night in West Frank?
fort, 111., 104 miles south of St. Louis,
by a mob of three thousand persons
bent on avenging the murder of Amiel
Calcaterra, nineteen, and Tony Hem

whose bodies were found near here
yesterday.
At 10:30 o'clock to-night the mob be?

Foreigners are reported to be leaving
'West Frankfort an?! Marion by every

i WEST FRANKFORT, 111., Aug. 5.? '
1 Belief that Amiel Calcaterra and 5Pony
lfempel were murdered by a gang of
robbers who have committed many
depredations in southern Illinois re?
cently was expressed by Franklin
County officials to-night.
Settino de Scsnis, held in connection
with the crime, bare'y escaped a mob j
of 200 that visited the county jail at
Marion early to-day. Officials heard
of the mob's approach and removed De
Sesnis to another place.
Budies of the youths were found in
a dry creek bed late yesterday by a
hunter. The throats of both had been
slashed and Hempel had beer shot in
the left eye.
Calcaterra and Hempel, officials as?

RumaniaConcen?rates Armyat Border
When L?nine Ignores Demand to Retire
LONDON, Aug. 5.?Rumania is concentrating- troops on the Russo
Rumanian frontier, says a wireless dispatch from Moscow.
GENEVA, Aug. 5.?Nikolai L?nine, head of the Soviet government
of Russia, has ignored the recent Rumanian ultimatum to withdraw
his troops from Rumanian territory, according to the Bucharest cor?
respondent of the "Journal de Gen?ve."
The correspondent describes the exterior and interior situation of
Rumania as extremely serious. Bolsheviki have invaded Galicia, he
says, and in Bukovina a quarter of a million discontented Socialist
workmen arc ready to join the invaders. He adds that while Russian
and German Communists are operating for a junction at Warsaw,
Bulgarian, Russian and Magyar Bolsheviki are preparing to meet at
Bucharest, with Constantinople as their ultimate goal.
AMSTERDAM, Aug. 5.?A battalion of French riflemen quartered
in Luxemburg have received orders to hold themselves in readiness to
start for Poland, according to the Berlin "Vossische-Zeitung."

Aid for Poles
Dr. Simons Says Germany
Will Fight if Necessary
lo Prevent Troops From
Crossing Hev Territory
Hopes to Avoid Clash
Declares S?is Government
Will Use Any Weapon
to Safeguard ?Neutrality
BERLIN, Aug. 5.?The German gov?
ernment is determined to prevent by all
means the Entente from sending troops
through Germany to help Poland, ac?
cording to a declaration made in the
Reichstag to-day by Dr. Walter Simons,
the Foreign .Minister.
Dr. Simons intimated that if the ne?
cessity arose Germany would ?ght to
prevent such a "violation" or German
territory.
LONDON, Aug. 5. -The contingency
of Germany having to-tight to resist a
possible attempt by the Entente to send
i ?oops through Germany to help Poland
was mentioned in the Reichstag to?
day by Dr. Walter Simons, the Foreign
Secretary, says a wireless message
from Berlin.
Violation of Neutrality
Declaring he was not aware whether
the Entente actually intend to
march troops through Germany, the
Foreign Secretary said it would ob?
viously be to their interest to do so,
and the German government must take
measures accordingly.
Dr. Simons referred to the report
that preparations were in progress in
occupied territory to transfer troops
to the Fast.
"If this is true," he declared, "it
constitutes a violation of German neu?
trality, for the territory, although oc?
cupied, is German, and the agreement
provides that no district belonging to
a neutral power may be used for mili?
tary operations.
"The German government will make
use of any weapons in order to remove
these difficulties," continued Dr. Si?
mons, "although we hope it will be
possible lo achieve the end desired
by persuasion and mutual understand?
ing and that cause for the use of arms
will not arise.
Would Avoid Outbreak
"I ask you to avoid anything which
might render more acute the already
strained, situation, which I will do my
utmost to prevent from resulting in an
outbreak."
The Bavarian Traffic Council has
decided to issue a proclamation <o the
postal and telegraph employees call?
ing on them to prevent the convey?
ance of Entente troops or arms and
munitions by all means, paralyzing, if
necessary, th?' whole of the Bavarian
transport system, says a wireless dis?
patch from Berlin.

Way to ?agriad Railway
CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 5 < By The
Associated Press). The Greeks are
starting a new Anatolian drive against
the Nationalist forces of Mustapha Ke
mal, which are advancing between Ku
taia and Sinav. Three columns of
Greeks are marching from Panderma,
Brusa and Balikessar with airplane
scouts, adequate artillery and armored
ears, apparently intending to drive
through to the Bagdad Railway. They
have' been reinforced from Thrace.
While the Turks apparently have
gained ground in the Kutaia action

Sudden Paralysis of Bol?

W a r sa w , Say Experts

PARTS, Aug. 5.?German Communists
are actively preparing to help the Bol?
sheviki in their war on Poland. Com?
munist organizations at Danzig, Thorn,
Lych and Schneidenmul all have re?
ceived instructions to get into contact
as soon as possible with the Bolshe- :
vik commande?*. T?ley have been or?
dered to assitt the Reds whenever pos- .
sible with.food, arms and ammunition
and to hamper all efforts of the Allies.
The forces aiding the Poles are find?
ing themselves up against an elusive
Bed organization in every direction ;
which is using open and underground
methods to thwart their intentions. ''
Not only in Danzig and alone the Ger- |
man border are the Allies encountering
opposition, but the same is the case
in Czecho-Slovakia and to a slight ex- '
tent in the Allied countries themselves.
Danzig Only Effective Base
It is reported that the Allies have
been compelled 10 abandon their scheme
of operating through Czecho-Slovakia
for fear of disturbances and sabotage
there. Under these circumstances, Dan?
zig remains the only effective base for
operations in behalf of Poland. Military
occupation of the free city, it is now;
said, is being considered by the Allies
fin.' pian of landing troops and supplie..
at Danzig, preparatory to their transit
up the Vistula River, is in contempla
tion.
The Bolsheviki, however, in agree?
ment with the German Communists, j
propose 'to do everything in their
power to prevent the use of the free
city and corridor for military pur?
pose?.
With regard to the alleged agree?
ment* between the German Reds and
the Bolsheviki, well-informed French
sources say there is little doubt of the
existence of these accords, though it
is improbable that they were ratified
between the Berlin and Moscow govern?
ments. The agreements undoubtedly
are such that if necessary they can be
upheld, while if unprofitable the
agents who made them can be repudi?
ated.
Meanwhile mysterious paralysis ap?
pears to have overtaken the Bolshevik
armies. French military official circles I
are unable adequately to explain the
fact that the Red forces are not con- I
siderably nearer Warsaw to-day, as
the ! olish defense is known to be
only of the lightest character at points
already reached by the Bolsheviki. The
delay in the Bolshevik advance again
has given rise to hopes that Warsaw,
like Paris, may be saved at a critical
moment.
Red Army Poorly Equipped
it is thought to he at least probable,
in view of the present sijzns of the
Bolshevik weakness, that the Red wave,
if it readies Warsaw, may not have the
power to go far beyond. Reports from
Allenstein, on the border, seem to con?
firm this view. It is said that the Bol?
shevik army is very poorly equipped,
its ammunition exhausted and that no
food is arriving from the renr. It is
thought that Warsaw cannot now be
captured either to-morrow or the day
after and perhaps not for several days.
The Poles are rushing divisions up
from the south in efforts to save the
capital and they may be effective in
stopping the weakened Bolshevik offen?
sive, but the morale of the Polish
?drees is reported to be at the lowest
ebb.
it. is officially confirmed that the
| Anglo-French mission is returning at
I the end of the week to report to their
governments, though Generals Wey
gatid an 1 Ratcliffe remain at the front.
Mystery still surrounds the peace
I terms which the Russians intend to in
; flict on the Poles. General R?mer,
Lead of the Polish armistice delegation,
who was compelled to return from
Baranovitchi, reported that although
he had tried hard to do so he had
failed to obtain the slightest indica?
tion of the Bolshevik peace conditions.
He will go to Minsk to hear the pro
pi sals, but owing to the physical diffi?
culties to be encountered in reaching
there it is improbable that the meeting
will take place before th? end of the

LONDON, Friday. Aug. 6 (By
The Associated Pre?? i?The Russian
Soviet's reply to Great Britain's call
for a halt of the Bolshevik advance
in Poland is a. refusal, according to
"The London Times." The news?
paper 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 to-day 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.
"The Times" says the note to the
British government was, received by
M. Kameneff, one of the Bolshevik
delegates here, last night and will
be handed to Premier Lloyd George
this morning.
EnvoVi?i Empowered to Sign
According to "The Times" the note
says the Bolsheviki are entitled both
by military and international law to
continue their advance until an ar?
mistice is concluded. They are, how?
ever, prepared to sign an armistice
and cease hostilities immediately the
Polish delegates return to the ap?
pointed place with power to arrange
an armistice and peace.
The Bolshevik answer says it i?
felt this action is necessary l?ecause
the Bolsheviki fear that without such
an undertaking the armistice nego?
tiations might be prolonged merely
to enable Poland to receive reinforce?
ments.
The answer further points out, says
"The Time.-,'' that the Soviet govern?
ment is prepared to offer Poland terms,
including complete independence and
wider boundaries than ; re provided for
in the Ti eat..- of Versailb s.
The Soviet government ?1 <'!ar>-s in
the an.'-.ver that its delegates now in
London are empowered to sign a peace
with GreatBritain or any other Entente
power, but that a separate peace with
Poland is insisted upon.
The Soviet governmi nt repeats its
willingness to join the proposed Lon?
don conference, bu; refuses to agree
to the admission to it of any of Gen-j
eral Wrangel's representatives or other
Russians who have taken up arms
against the Soviet.
LONDON, Aug. 5 i By The Associated
Press ).- Premier Lloyd Georg?, in a
statement in the liou ?? of < mraom
to-day, said al a con ? ence held yes?
terday with Leo Kameneff and Leonid
Krassin, Bolshevik delegates, now in
London, he and Andrew Bonar Law
had made it clear I > the Russians that
th ' immediate conclu ion of en armis
tic( "a fair ' rms was the only course
which would r?mov< suspicion that the
Soviet government was insincere in it?
professed desire for peace and in its
declination thai it intended to respect
the liberty ami independence of Poland.
Premier Lloyd George added -?hat he
and Mr. Bonar Law also made it clear
that, in view of tl ? fad that ethno
graphi :ally Poland h? 'i been invaded
"we would take ? tr ictive st ?>s to re?
move obstad? ? in he way of transmis?

supplies which could be obtained fro?
that quarter."
Full Statement .Monday
The Premier concluded: "1 think, u
view of the critical state of affairs,
would rather not make any furthe
statement this afternoon, but should
unfortunately, our suspicions be con
firme?! ? shall make a full statement t<
the House .Monday as to such furthe
naval or military action which it ma;
be necessary to take."
He said the whole object of the pro
posed peace conference in London hai
been jeopardized by the Soviet army'
advance.
He stated that the Soviet ha*
not yet replied to Great Britain'
note of July 20 proposing th
London peace conference. He read th
text of another note which Great Brit
ain sent to the Soviet government la?
Tuesday after the Soviet demanded the
the Polish armistice delegates be err
powered also to sign fundamentals (
peace.
This note said that if the Soviet it
? sisted on making peace with Poland 1

project for the London peace conferen<
would have ?'alien through.
