Polish Democratic parly, who resigned
recently a? a member of the Council of
National Defense and proceeded to
Posen, is quoted as saying at a public
meeting that the army needed not only
to r?Pu'so the enemy, but to restore or?
der in Poland. The radical newspapers
are accusing Dmowski of scheming
against the government.
Bolsheviki Blamed for Delay
Responsibility for continuance of the
fighting in Poland was yesterday placed
up'on the Russian Soviet government by
Prince Eugene Sapioha, Polish Foreign
Minister, in a telegram sent to Sir ?ric
Drummond, general secretary of the
League of Nations. The Foreign Min?
ister's telegram was as follows:
"As a member of tho League of Na- \
tions tho Polish, government thinks it
is its duty to officially inform the
league that the attitude of the Rus?
sian Soviet government has made a
cessation of hostilitie's impossible.
This is true notwithstanding the fact
that the Polish government's deelara
t'on to the Supreme Council July > cro
phr.sired its desire for ??eace, and not?
withstanding re.teratcd efforts to ob?
tain an armistice and a just and last?
ing treaty.
"Under tortuous pretexts tho Soviet
government has up to the present re?
fused to enter peace negotiations or
fix armistice conditions. Nevertheless,
th* Polish, government has not and will
not cease to do everything possible to
?conclude an honorable peace, but de?
clines all responsibility for prolonga?
tion of the war, which entirely falls on
the Soviet government."
Cannot Accept Disarmament
Poland earnestly desires peace, but
could not accept armistice terms in?
volving disarmament in any form, the
Foreign Minister declared to t!;e cor?
re? pendent to-day.
"Poland is not going to capitulate,"
said he. "We will fight to the last man
rather than that. There is no question
of disarmament. If we are disarmed
with the Soviet troops forty miles
from Warsaw it would b?^ like throw?
ing up our hands."
Every possible effort is being made j
by the Polish government to support
the army facing the Bolsheviki at the
gates of Cue capital. Sleeping cars
have been removed from all trains
except thesis running to Vienna, and
the telephone system is being devoted
exclusiv? ly to government require?
ments. Women are playing a promi?
nent part in all the activities, many ,
society leaders supervising sidewalk
lunch stands at busy corners, where
soldiers are given food and drink.
Waitresses from hotel and caf?s
have taken the places of m?-si in all i
of Warsaw's commercial houses, the
war offices an'", other branches of the
government. More women are at
present employed than at any time
since the foundation of the republic.
Six Killed in Plane Accident
Air raids over the Soviet lines
: I .,- ti e Wi rsaw front are now a
daily part, of the city's defense,
aviators flying from the Warsaw aero?
drome every twenty or thirty minutes
for the front. One airplane caught
fire when it was starting on a raid,
the pilot and observer being killed,
and four civilians were killed and six
injured by the explosion of bombs
when the plane struck the earth.
Simon S. Askenasy, a member of
one of the oldest Jewish families in
Warsaw and professor of history in
Lemberg University, has left for
Pari.-- as the second Polish delegate to
the League of Nations. A branch of
the American Legation has been es?
tai lished at the Hotel Monopol, in

here, will remain in Warsaw as long
as possible.

Pessimistic View From Berlin

C : ??? , :'j20, N'e ,- York 1 I . . - Inc.
BERLIN, Aug. 13.?From information
emanating from diplomatic circles, the
Berlin pupers give a very gloomy de?
scription oi the latest developments in
the situation in Poland.
"Germania" says Poland has now
giv n up all hopes and even if an
armistice is not signed the Polish gov?
ernment will decide to stup hostilities
the next few days and consent to un?
conditional surrender, The military
situation is represented as having be?
come (h m rate.
The "Deutsche Zeitung" says Rus?
sian cavalry is now about fifteen miles
from the Warsaw suburbs and that
thousands of fugitives continue to flee
through the so-called Polish corridor
to Danzig. It is reported that a great
Polish army, consisting mostly of volun?
teer.; from Warsaw, is being concen?
trated for a desperate rally in the
neighborhood of Thorn.
Reds Speeding Up Advance
PARIS, Aug. 13 (By The Associated
Press).-?Closing in upon Warsaw from
the north, cast and south-east, the
Bolshevik posts are now within twenty
miles of the capital, and little doubt
is felt here that they will be in the
city before the peace negotiations are
concluded.
General Haller's arrjjy, holding posi?
tions along the Vistula, Narew and
l?u?: rivers in a country offering few
natural advantages for defense, is be?
ing relentle sly pushed toward the
capital by the Bolsheviki, who are
speeding up their advance.
The northern Reds, according to the
latest news reaching Paris to-night, had
passed Pultulsk and were marching
southward on the capital down the
valley of tho Narew. Another column
was advancing between the Narew and
the Bug, while south of the Bug the
enemy had reached and pas ?ed the line
running from Tluszoz, through Piivki,
Dobre, Kaluszyn, Tsegloff and Lato
vltch to /election". Further south the
enemy had succeeded in forcing a pas?
sage of the Bug and waa moving on
Lublin.
40 Miles Beyond Mlawa
The Bolshevik cavalry along the
Prussian frontier has made another
bound forward and is now 40 miles
bey??t,il Mlawa, almost half the way to
Thorn.
In other words, the Reds are ad
I Vancing all along the Hue, except in
tho extreme south.
Citizens of Warsaw to the number of
?O?.O?? have pledged themselves to de?
fend the capital to the last breath,
but it is felt here that such an un?
organized effort cannol seriously affect
the fate of the city. This, apparently,
also is the view of the Polish gqvern
raent, which is reported to be ? u
ing moving to Posen if it ?s sati
there is no chance of the Soviet forces
suspending h< - t an early date.

Says Nurses Taken
By Reds Are Slain
Long Island Girl Tells
of Atrocities Practiced
by Russians in Poland
Nurses of the Polish Red Cross
captured by the Bolsheviki have been
tortured and killed; a Russian cavalry
patrol massacred wounded Polish
soldiers in a hospital and no quarter
is (riven to prisoners by the Reds, ac?
cording to Miss Mary Corwin Lane,
who returned yesterday from Poland,
where, since April of last year, she
had been attacked as a Red Cross
nurse to the American-Polish army.
Miss Lane, whose home is at 171 Union
Street, Flushing, L. I., went to England
as a volunteer nurse in 1916. She left I
Poland July 26.
"I have witnessed instances in which !
cavalry officers, whose bodies were
afterward recovered by soldiers,
suffered the common fate of losing
their eyes, ears and hands," said Miss
Lane. "The Bolsheviki are so in?
human that they gouge them out. In
addition, strips of flesh were cut from
the legs to imitate the stripes on their
uniforms. Of the thousands of
prisoners that fell into tho hands of
the Polish troops in April and May
all were fed and well treated.
"When we were leaving Poland the
Bolshevik invasion had begun and 210
demobilized Polish-American troop.-,
were b? ing sent home. When they saw
the plight of the country by the inva?
sion they decided to re?nlist."
Miss Lane said there was. no panic
in the country when she was departing
and that the evacuation of Kastern
Poland was being conducted in an j
orderly manner.

Litvinoff Sees ?!. "S. Recognition
Of Soviet Within 12 Months
COPENHAGEN, Aug. 13 (By The
Associated Press).? Maxim Litvinoff,
Assistant Foreign Minister in the Rus
1 siati Bolshevik government, does not
doubt that friendly relations between
the Russian government and the Unit?
ed States will exist within the next
twelve months. He made this known
to-day during an interview in which
. he touched on France's recognition of
General Wrangel and the Russo-Polish
situation.

and Premier Millerand as a result of

"Franco has taken o stand and main?
tains it, and (?resit Britain has done
tho same thing," The Associated Press
was informed. "There i;i no need of
a conference now. The tension to-day
was considerably lessened, and the
countries are not. so far apart as tho
situation yesterday seemed to indicate."
U. S. Has Confidence
In Gen. Wrangel
Hopes to Spread Expres?
sion of Sympathy by
Anti - Bolshevik Leader
WASHINGTON,'Aug. U!. The Polish,
situation continues-, I o receive a large
portion of the attention of officials
here. The State Department to-day
had not received the note of the French
government expressing satisfaction
with the American attitude on the
Russian-Polish situation, us defined in
the American note to the Italian Am?
bassador. Deparment officials, however,
said that there had m ver existed any
7-eason to qucstior the approval by
France of the position of the United
State;; toward the Russian and Polish
problems as embodied in the recent
note.
The act of confidence displayed by
the French government in General
Wrangel, by recognition of him as a
de factor government, has brought to
light a similar confidence reposed in
him by the United States. It is through
General Wrangel in southern Russia,
officials said to-day, that the United ?
States hopes to introduce largely th??
friendly expressions of sympathy for
tho Russian people embodied in the
American note. Finland pnd the Baltic
Si.-.t'-s also hsive been chosen as stra?
tegic points for disseminnting the ;it
tack on the Soviet, authorities.
Discussing the American note to |
Italy, David R. Francis, American Am- !
bassador to Russia, who called to-day |
;ii tin' While House, predicted that the ;
present Soviet regime in Russia would ?
not survive six months.
Sees Encouraging Effect
"Tli" American nute j- ?? ti t. by Secre
tary Colby," Ms-. Francis said, "will hi?
one of the agencies 't,;' overthrowing
the Bolshevik;. It ';.; :i great note, and
when i' ss'?';.- into Russia will have an
encouraging effect. Undoubtedly it!
will tret, to the Russian people, sins! .
will In lii to bring them tu a realiza?
tion of the need of new conditions nec?
essary for their own welfare ;iu;l sal?
vation."
Mr. Francis expr?s ?cd his conviction
that th.;? Wrangel government mi South
Russia, officially recognized by Frc.nce,
would prove a powerful factor against
the Bolsheviki.
Officials to-day pointed to an order
recently issued by General Wrangel as
indicating earnest endeavor of the anti
Bolshevik leader t?> establish a civil
government which will obtain the eon
fidence of the Hussian people. Under
this order si civil administrator, equal
to a general in the ??Id Russian admin?
istration, is attached to the headquar?
ters -if each army corps, charged with
the duty of establishing a civil govern?
ment iss sM. area occupied by she corps.
Aims of General Wrangel
The Icj^l of a statement explaining
tin? aims of General Wrangel, issued by
him recently upon the occupation of a
town in southern Russia, ,-ilso was re?
ceived here to-day fiy officials.
"We are fighting," General Wrangel
delared, "first, for the orthodox re?
ligion as a symbol of our nationality;
s;-i(Yi?i, againsf those Red commissaires
who have filled Russia with blood and
who, instead of giving liberty t> the
people, have only given slavery; third,
that each peasant shall receive as his
own land on which he is working;
fourth, that every honest workman may
obtain from his labor a good existence

Drastic Peace Terms
Drawn by Soviet
First Draft Provided for
Plebiscite to Determine
<
Russian Poland's Future
WASHINGTON, Aug. !:/ (By The As?
sociated Press 1. A plebiscite to de?
termine the future of Russian Poland
is one of the peace terms drawn up
: by the Bolsheviki coincident with the
first proposal of an armistice by the
Polish government. The right of tin
res: rioted propaganrta in this territory
during the year which would intervene
before the plebiscite also would be de?
manded.
These and the other terms of peace,
- which sire believed to have been formu?
lated for submission at the first meet?
ing between th? Soviet and Polish
emissaries, were received rere to-day
in official circles. While not regarded
as final, because of the events favor?
able to the Bolsheviki since their
? formulation, the terms arc accepted in
Washington as illustrative of the in
tenti? n ? f the invaders to impose peace
? conditions of n drastic nature.
Demand Salt and Coal Mines
Other terms as received here include
the right of the Soviet government to
utiri tricted transmission of all code
messages across Poland between Rus?
sia and Germany, the turning over of
all salt ssiiil coal mines in Poland for
operation by the Soviet government
and the right of unrestricted travel for
all Soviet nationals across the Polish
I frontiers without the Polish vis? on
passports.
The provision for a plebiscite in the
portion of Poland formerly belonging
to Russia, together with the stipula?
tion that the Bolsheviki be granted
permission to disseminate propaganda
.without restriction in that territory
for one year before the vote, is viewed
by officials here as likely to be es?
pecially obnoxious to the Poles.
Pace Loss of Russian Poland
The grant;in;- of such demands would,
; in the opinion of officials hero, cer
i tainly result in the loss to the Warsaw
government of Russian Poland, for all
Polish national feeling in that region,
; it is considered, would he blotted out
', by the Bolshevik propaganda.
Officials were inclined to believe that
the peace ternis to be submitted at the
Minsk negotiations, now in progress,
; will be even more severe than those
tentatively prepared for the Barano
; vifcchi conference, which ended abrubt
; ly when the Polish armistice emissaries
replied they had no authority to con?
clude peace. The recent success?: of
! the Soviet forces are held to have made
'possible the even more?drastic tqrms.

Support of Soviet Diminishes With Increasing Dis?
tance From Moscow; Bolsheviki, Admitting
Failure, Seek to Create "Far Eastern Republic"
TERIJOKI, Finland, Russian fron?
tier, Aug. 13 (By The Associated
Press).---Development of the Soviet
government in Russia l.as been such
that to-day the vast Russian territory
from the Pacific to tin- H.iltic is divid
ed into three distinct sections in the
attitude of th.? people toward Bol?
shevism.
In a recent 4,000-mile trip across the
country from Vladivostok to the Finn?
ish border the Associated Press cor?
respondent observed that Soviet sup?
port diminishes with increasing ins?
tance from the capital at Moscow,
where the supremo liais .for ironclad
militarism are issued.
In the remote Eastern section of Si?
beria the Bolsheviki admit failure to
establish their system and are .-seeking
to create a buffer state known sis "the
Far Eastern Republic." Siberia proper,
from Irkutsk to the 1'rals, where eight
months ago Bolshevism was welcomed
as a relief from the Kolchak r?gime,
i;, ready for another change t?> any?
thing which will bring economic bet?
terment. Proceeding further westward
the traveler finds European Russia,
like a great mobilized army, in starva?
tion circumstances ami cursing the
Reds, yet executing their orders pas?
sively,
The apportionment of food, as well
as the relative proximity t?i military
j-, adquarters, apparently is a vital
factor m maintaining Soviet support.
Everywhere through Siberia one hears
stories that the peasants arc refusing
i i plant their fields or raise stuck be?
cause ??I' repeated requisitions.
Throughout tin? central part of this
e, stern region, where the military op
;.? iition has be? n largely eliminated,
? fl'orts are being made to establish, card
systems Cu- the exchange of manufac?
tured goods in return for agricultural
I roducts.
Prom Samara on the Volga to Mos?
cow the traveler from Siberia passes
through hundreds of miles <>f wheat
I fields which at the height of the har
( vest Into in duly were filled with
countless aged peasants, women and
children. Many of the reapers were
women and children who came in by
trainloads from Moscow and Petrograd,
declaring they had been promised a
share in tho crops,
The government leaders urge faith?
fulness and sacrifice on the part of the
people until they can end civil war and
foreign aggression by military vic
? tories. They assert that any failure
which may have attended their efforts
thoroughly to establish the Soviet pro?
gram has been dm? to backwardness on
tin: part of the Russians or to foreign
interference.
In Omsk, center of th?- Siberian grain
(''stricts, there is at present a shortage
of bread which apparently is? not due
t?. scarcity of grain. Reports indicate
ii is th?- result of a boycott conducted
against tin? government by the. peas?
ants because they sire not satisfied
w'Ah the returns they receive in ex?
change for products. Th?? situation
consequently has resulted in a short?
age of clothing and other manufactured
products sind textile machinery for the
rural population.
. in "the Far Eastern Republic," where
< a compromise has been made with f :i
lurcs of th?- Bolshevik system, there
is indication that coins, sions would
! be made in attempts to esain economic
co ti J with the outside world through
the Orient, efforts to accomplish these
aims via Europe apparently having
met with, l?tl?.- success*. There are evi?

German Millions Doomed
BERLIN, Aug. 12 (By The Associated
Press1. "[ consider it inevitable that
ten or fifteen million of our people will
die out, as we no longer can provide
for them because of the theft of our
colonies, our merchant fleet and our
possessions abroad, the destruction of
j our industries and the seizure of our
natural resources,'' is the reply of Pro?
fessor Max von Gruber, a noted hygien
ist, in refusing the request of his
Munich colleagues that he sign an in?
ternational appeal on behalf ui Ger

Professor von Gruber, who is well
known for his Pan-German inclinations,
declares he finds it "incompatible with

nations which, he charges, "imposed the
hunger blockade which undermined tho
vitality of the German people."

ly escaped from the United States and j
later was deported to Russia from
England. The identification, officials
sjiid, wa;i through a photograph of
Nuorteva.
A customs guard, dressed as a sailor,
accompanied Jacobsen to the West.
129th Street address on duly 23 to de?
liver a dummy package to Mrs. Rein?
an? n. However, she had removed her
residence, but inquiry developed that j
another woman had been delegated to
receive the ej-cpected packages from '
Jacobsen.
Upon refusal, however, to deliver ?
the package to any but the "short,
stout man," who usually received
them in tho presence of Jacobsen, the
woman agreed to telephone for him.
The telephone number called, accord?
ing to the evidence, was identified by j
officials as a Fl?tbush number in the
residence occupied by Ludwig C. A. K.
Martens. In responso to the call and
in tins absence of Nuorteva from the
country, M. Safron, identified as a sec?
retary of Martens, appeared to claim
the package.
Martens'? Home Searched
Obtaining a search warrant, the
house of Martens was searched, and
among other documents was found a
letter addressed to "Esteemed Com
rudo Martens" and signed "Boris."
Tho letter, dated Juno 21 at Trond
hj( m, Norway, contained this para?
graph:
"He told me he is in the same posi?
tion; that he ha:-: no money, but he
has some stones he will endeavor to
s.t nd you at. the first opportunity."
The "he" to whom Boris referred was
not identified in the letter.
Discovery of what is said by offi?
cials to be Martens's pay roll has been
mad?? by Federal authorities.
The alleged pay roll was found in
Martens's residence in Brooklyn during
?t recent search of tiic house for evi?
dence of the connection of the Soviet
representative with the Bolshevik traf?
fic in jewels.
The name of J. G. Ohsol, said to
have been a former employee of the
Federa,! Trade Commission hen?, was
identified by government otucisils in
the list, of the thirty names on the
supposed payroll. Mr, Ohsol. the Fed?
eral Trade Commission said to-day,
formerly was employed by the commis?
sion as an examiner, and left the serv?
ice last March 17.

Martens Makes "Denial
Ludwig C. A. K. Martens, unrec i ;?
nized Russian Soviet ambassador to;
11 e United State y yest? rday dis
icd any knowledge of diamonds ad?
dressed to him which, it was broug
out at his d?port?t ion hearings, had
been intercepted in New York by cu's
? ? : authorities.
Shown :m Associated Press dispatch '
from Washington stating that thes
diamonds were believed to have been
part of the Russian crown jewels. Mar?
tens, expressing indignation at the de
I partmont, asserted that sill confiscated
jew? Is were in the Russian Soviet Na?
tional Treasury.
Charging that the department was
trying i<> incriminate him in something
that would'tend to create in the United
States si sentiment unfavorable to
Soviet Russia, he denied that he had
any roundabout courier system ? ?^?v:.\
ing through Sweden, and said that for
the last eighteen months ho had been
in direct touch with Russia.
Considerable mystery surrounded
seizure of the diamonds here July 23.
At that time their worth was estimated
at $50,000 bj customs officials, who
took them from a sailor on the steam?
ship Stockholm giving the name of Ja/
cobsen. Jacobsen professed himself ig?
norant of the identity of persons who
had entrusted him with the jewels, and
declared he did not know to whom they
! were to be delivered. When the ei ure
was made no hint was given that they,
were addressed to "Comrade Martens."
Direct Courier System
? Martens to-day indignantly denied'
that they were addressed to him, to be
used here for financing Bolshevik prop?
aganda.
"For eighteen months I have had ray
own direct courier system," he ^:\'.d:
"and 1 would be under no necessity of
i mploying a roundabout system
through Sweden or any other country,
as I '.save been able to get messages
and dispatches through direct."
After lie had denied any knowledge
oi' the diamonds mentioned in the
Washington dispatch, Martens was
asked if he knew the present where
alcuts of the Russian crown jewels.
"Yes," he said. "All jewels that have
been confiscated are in the Russian So?
viet Treasury, in custody of the Soviet
Minister of Finance, where they will
? be kept with gold bullion as part of the
! national treasury. They will never be
sent out of Russia to be used as col
lateral in other countries.
"The use of my name in connection
1 with this seizure is just an attempt by
the Department of Justice to discredit
me and the Soviet government through
arous'ing sympathy for the Russian im?
perial family."
Martens expressed the opinion that
the jewels seized here were probably
property of some individual refugee.
lie declared it was common practice
for refugees of Russia, Poland ami
other war-stricken countries to send
their jewels hero to be turned into
cas ii.
In Care of Martens
Isaac Hourwich, counselor of the
Russian Soviet Bureau, denied the De?
partment of Justice's charge that the
jewels in question had been addressed
to L. C. A. K. Martens. He declared
that the only evidence submitted by
tho government was that an envelope
alleged to contain the jewels was ad?
dressed to some one in care of Martens.
He also expressed great surprise
that the Department of Justice should
; again charge, that the jewels had been
addressed to Martens, when only re?
cently Assistant Secretary of Labor
Louis F. Post had ruled definitely that
1 tnis evidence couid not be considered

in the deportation proceedings against
the envoy.
"At the conclusion of the examina?
tion of the witnesses called by the
government to testify in relation to
this mai fer." said Mr. Hourwich,
"Charles Recht, of counsel for Mart i
asked Inspector Schell for a commis?
sion to be issued to Stockholm for the
examination of the person by whom
these diamonds are alleged to have
) een sent to Now York.
"The matter was laid before As '
art Secretary of Labor Post i
Recht in the presence of Inspector
Schell, but Mr. Post, ruled that this
matter has no relation to the deporta?
tion proceedings and that therefore the
examination of that witness in
holm is unnecessary."
Proceedings Kept Secret.
Mr. Hourwich said that counsel '?>'
Martens ha' heretofore refrained from
commenting upon the diamond ca e,
which had been drawn into the depor?
tation proceedings by the Depai
of Justice for the reason that "these
proceedings are conducted behii s
closed doors and the press is not ad?
mitted. Wc felt that we could not in
honor divulge what was going on in
those proceedings.
"Now, however, since the Department
of Jus1 ice has seen fit to gn
sion of the matter to the pub ?c, we
feel that we are no longer under ob
ligat isms to preserve . ilence.
"The facts in the ease
the hearings before Inspector Schel!
have absolutely no relation to M
Jt appears from the government's evi?
dence that somebody in Stockholm sent
an envelope addressed to some persoi
in care of Martens. The address on
the envelope conclusively shows that
Martens was merely t<> deliver tli.it en?
velope to somebody who presumably
was to call for it.
"It is a well-known custom for con?
sular officers of all governments to
receive mail for delivery to their na
tionals. As a rule the consul in whose
care a letter is addressed to som?
does not know the addressee, but when
the latter calls for his mail th?? same
is delivered to hii The coi ul never
opens the mail of the addressee in hi

Special Di ich to Thi i
CHICAGO, Aug. t.'i. A connecting
?link between the Reds of America and
the Bol lieviki of Europe was revealed
in the arrest of Herman G. Hoffman,
according to Chief of Police Garrity's
anarchist squad.
Hoffman, a confessed radical and a
member of the organization headed by
John Alexander, who was seized about
ten ?.lays ago, told the police he had
just returned from Germany, where he
had been sent by Alexander to
Bolshevik literature and also to confer
with the members of the intern
Red organization in the countries of
the Allies.
One of his conferences, he said, was
with John Burton, who was indicted
some time ago with William Bross
Lloyd ami nineteen other alleged radi?

sedition and sentenced to jail terms.
Following his indictment Burton was
released on $10,000 bonds, which he
forfeited when he lied to Germany.
