Dissension Splits

Anti-Soviet Chief Said To

PARIS, Aug. 27. Dissension is re?
ported to have broken out in the ranks
of the army under General Wrangel,
anti-Bolshevik leader in south Russia.
The same trouble which brought about
the downfall of Admiral Kolchak now
threatens to weaken Wrangel in his
hour of success.
In authoritative French circles it is
said that the Rods aro becoming more
and more alarmed at Wrangel's suc?
cesses. Unable to defeat him in bat?
tle, they are employing propaganda.
The principal Soviet agent in charge
?f the anti-Wrangel campaign is one
Ramonzof.
Conservative pro-German Russians
are insisting that Wrangel is the tool
of France, while the potential Liberals
object to the pro-German policy of the
?Conservatives. The Bolsheviki also
have started an intensive campaign of
propaganda to prevent General Wr?n?
ge! from preserving the unity of his
forces.
General Wrangel's liberal followers,
favorable to the Entente, also are be?
ing bitterly opposed by the Czarist
conservative organization in Berlin.
The Extreme Right party of Schul
geeme in Berlin has sent some of its
members to the Crimea to stir up fur?
ther troubla
The Germans are supporting the
anti-WrangeJ conservatives, for they do
not wish to see the Bolsheviki over?
thrown by any army supported by
Franco or the Allies. On the other
hand, the Germans hope eventually to
reestablish their influence in Russia
through the reactionary pro-Germans
in that country,

L? S. Inquiry Asked in
Albania-Jugo-Slavia Row
Serbs Request \ction Also by
Great Britain. France and Italy
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27 (By The
Associated Press).?-The United States
was requested yesterday by the Ser?
bian government to appoint repre?
sentatives to an allied commission to
investigate the conflict between Al?
bania and Jugo-Slavia. Similar re?
quest was made to the governments of
Great Britain, France and Italy.
A message from Belgrade, made
public to-day by the Jugo-Slav Lega- i
tion, said attacks on the Serbian-Al?
banian frontier line "were not pro- !
vcked by any act or action on tho part ?
of the kingdom of the Serbs, Croats j
ana Slovenes."
Disputes between Albania and Jugo
Slavia over the frontier line originated
in 1913 with annexation by Serbia
after the Turkish war of the Sandjak
of Novi-Bazar and northern Macedonia.
Previous to 1913 the most historic
landmarks of old Serbia, including Kos
sovo, Prizrend and Prilep, the homes
of some of the most notable Serbian
national heroes, for administrative !
purposes had been in the hands of j
Albania under Turkish sovereignty.
As a result, this territory to the east
of the present Albanian-Serbian fron?
tier became largely populated by Al
banians.
Warfare between the two countries,
which had been confined since 1913 to
border raids, broke out with renewed
force after the action of the peace
conference in 1 flf> confirming the title
of Serbia to the line of 1913, Recent
reports have indicated that the con?
flict, smoldering since 1919, has broken
out afresh.

ing on the latest note dispatched by |
the Soviet Foreign Minister Tchitoh

by Premiers Lloyd George and Gio
litti at Lucerne,
"We sincerely hope," adds Le

gret the day that they allowed Rosen- '??

Reply Doubted in France
Tchitcherin's reply caused mis?
givings in France. The French re?
main indiff?rent to Bolshevik propa
ganda, hut they are greatly disturbed \
at what Lloyd George may have I
promised the Reds privately. Tchitch- j
erin bays that the British had seen
and given assent to all the Bolshevik i
peace terms except one- that about '
arming the Polish workers. This I
stipulation the Bolsheviki have with- I
drawn.
The French refuse to believe that '
Lloyd George had committed himself I
as the Bolsheviki pretend. The French j
think that Lloyd George cannot at least
have agreed to the thirteenth condi?
tion on the Bolshevik peace, program,
under which Poland would give to Rus?
sia and the Ukraine free transit across
Poland, leaving the Volkovisk-Bialy
stok-Graiovo railway in Russian con?
trol.
They refuse to believe that Llovd
George consented to a reduction of the j
Polish forces to 50,000 or agreed that
land should be given to the dependents
of Russians killed in the war.
Await Britain's Move
Le Journal des D?bats to-night says
that the declaration by the premiers at
Lucerne played into the hands of the
Bolsheviki by narrowing down the j
Anjrlo-Italian objections to the Soviets i
to a single issue. The newspaper con?
siders that the maneuver now being
employed by the Bols'/eviki in their
latest communication was suggested by
the form of the Lucerne note itself.
The French are watching anxiously
to see what Great Britain will do now. I
Le Journal des D?bats says: "We must !

Million Rubles Cost of
Day's Living in Russia
One Meal Amounted to 60,000
and Short Cab Hide Meant
10,000 More at Sebastopol
SEBASTOPOL, Crimea, Aug. 25?(By ?
The Associated Press) (Delayed).?One
million Don rubles were purchased for j
$25 here to-day by the correspondent,
but afterward he paid 60,000 rubles j
for a meal, 10,000 more for a short cab j
ride, and at the close of the day was a !
bankrupt millionaire. Crimea is in an
unhappy situation. It has 24,000,000,
000 of rubles, but no real money, and
there is little to buy here.
The harbor is filled with idle and i
disabled warships and merchantmen.
There are no cargoes on the docks;
streetcars have been stopped because
of the lack of coal; .?tores have no
stocks, and streets are deserted except
for an occasional carriage, some
wounded soldier'' or armed patrolmen.
The only life here is on the beaches \
at the p;;rk at the entrance to the
harbor. There bathers, for the most
part women and wounded officers and'
soldiers, pass the time, when not read?
ing bulletins from the various South
Russian fronts at the official news bu?
reau. Most women here have no hats,
but wear veils or kerchiefs about their i
heads. Many are without stockings,
but are charming, nevertheless, in
blight, inexpensive gowns which they
dignify with an erect and independent
carriage suggestive of American
weinen.
Sebastopol, with its idle dockyards j
and railways operated only for military
purposes, has not, in spite of its 80,000 j
inhabitants, the dynamics of a city one- i
tenth its size. The old Russian naval
base has lost all its brilliancy, most of j
its warships are rusting at the ducks
and ?fs industries are closed.

Prussia are fighting the Poles along the
frontier. An official statement, issued
just before last midnight, says that two
Soviet batteries, hauled into Prussia by
the retreating Russians, fired upon the
Poles and that the Soviet forces are
also using machine guns against the
Poles on this sector. Polish troops who
have reached the frontier have been (
cautioned by their commanders not to '
fire upon German territory.
While there has been a lull in the
fighting on various sectors the Poles
advanced at several places Thursday
and have reached the region of Kobrin,
approximately twenty-eight miles !
northeast of Brest-Litovsk. In a sur- j

Weygand Demands
Polish Drive Go On
Urges Pursuit of Reds
With View to Forcing
Peace Before Winter
(?pedal Cable to The Tribune
Copyright, 1920, New York Tribune Inc. ?
PARIS, Aug. 27.?General Waygand, !
who was reported to-night to have !
crossed tho Austro-Czecho-Slovakian
frontier nt Eger, and who is expected
in Paris tomorrow, made declarations
before leaving Warsaw which confirms
tho opinion expressed in numerous
quarters here that the war between
Poland and the Bolsheviki may go on.
General Weygand speaks of the con- ;
tinued pursuit of the enemy by the
Poles, declaring the effort of the Pol?
ish army has not yet come to an end.
lie talks contingently of choosing a
convenient line for winter quarters and
of preparing to resist the shock of a
possible return offensive by the Bol?
sheviki.
"The effort of the Polish army has
not come, to an end," General Weygand
?. quoted as saying. "The pursuit of
the enemy should continue in order to
extract all nossible profit from his de?
feat, particularly with a view to con?
cluding tho peace which we all hope
for before winter. Nevertheless it is
Vetter not to confound hopes with
realities and the most elementary
prudence bids us envisage the eventu?
ality of a continuation of hostilities.
"The Polish army should continue to
advance, but prudently, and should
can-fully consolidate where it intends
to pass the winter. From a military
point of view this line should be such
that the Polish forces, when the hour
comes to resist the shock of a possible
return of the Bolsheviki, can stop it
with vigor.
"In my opinion, after past experi?
ences, the new lino should bo chosen
far enough from the capital to protect
it, but for political considerations not
30 far east that misunderstandings
again will arise with friendly powers.
"Meanwhile tho Polish general staff
must, work- at reorganization of the
army, c^irUje and equip it and prepare
the reserve's. Despite the defeat just
inflicted on the soviets, and despite the
loss of almost all their artillery, we
must expect that tho Bolsheviki will
try to raise new forces to put in the
field next spring."

If MacSweney
Dies, I Die Too,
Says De Valera
Declares He Will Return
to Ireland and Follow
Example, if Mayor of
Cork Gives Ho His Life
Calls Him a Martyr
Lexington Theater Filled
With Erin's Sympathizers;
Cheers for Longshoremen
Eamon de Valera, President of the
Irish Republic," told 4,000 persons at
; a mass meeting held at the Lexington
Theater last night that if Terrence Mnc
Sweney, Lord Mayor of Cork, dies as
a result of his hunger strike, he would
! return to Ireland and follow Mac
i Sweney's example.
Tho mooting was called to protest
! against the British government's re?
fusal to liberate MacSweney. After the
theater was filled, enough people were
turned away to form two large mass
] meetings in the streets.
De Valera was interrupted every
few minutes with hisses and boos for
. Great Britain, Lloyd George and King
Goorge V.
Reference to the strike of the Iong
I shoremen against British ships brought
i prolonged cheering. As De Valera was
| declaring his readiness to return to Ire
i land to follow MacSweney's example,
a man in the gallery enthusiastically
cried, "Three cheers for tho longshore
I men I"
This was tho prelude to tho unan
' nounced appearance on the stage of a
parade of striking longshoremen, who
, waved before tho audience a dozen
j placards carried on poles. Tho placards
denounced England for refusing to per?
mit Archbishop Mannix of Australia to
? enter Ireland, and demanded the lib
; eration of MacSweney.
Do Valera denied that MacSweney's
?death by self-imposed starvation would
'. bo equivalent to suicide.
"Heretofore I never counseled hunger
i strikes as a weapon," he said. "I al
! ways considered that there were mcth
! ods more effective. But MacSweney is
i showing the world that he values his
, hfi less than he does a good cause..
: They call it suicide. That man is
'worthy of another designation than
i that of suicide who thus dies.
"MacSweney is facing only a con
| tingent death. If he dies his death,
1 like a soldier's, will be at the hands
ol an enemy. And - can tell you that
MacSweney will die if he does not get
his liberty. Instead of regarding him
as a suicido I venerate such a man. If
he dies I will go back to Ireland to
fellow his example.
"England is carrying on worse
atrocities than Cromwell did when he
sent women and children into slavery
in tho Barbados. MacSweeney is sent
into slavery in an English dungeon.
English brute force may manacle his
body, but his spirit will triumph and
will live to muke Ireland's causo tri?
umph."
Frank P. Walsh, chairman of the
American Committee for Irish Inde?
pendence, who presided, and Dudley
Field Malono were other speakers. Mr.
Waist: predicted that the "assassina?
tion" of MacSweeney Would cause the
"downfall of tho British Empire." He
declared that the strike of the long?
shoremen in Now York was an indica?
tion of bitterness being aroused
throughout the world by England's at?
titude toward Ireland.
"Even the British arc becoming dis?
gusted with the actions of their gov?
ernment,'' said Mr. Walsh. "More than
150 of tho stokers and firemen of the
steamer Baltic, who struck to-day, are
born Englishmen."
Secretary of State Colby, in resolu?
tions, was asked to prevent the "mur?
der" of MacSweney. The resolutions
set forth:
"That we, American citizens, express
our admiration of the gallant sacrifices
being made by the people, of Ireland in
their magnificent fight for liberty?and
in particular wo express our apprecia?
tion of the heroic stand for principle
now being made by the Lord Mayor of
Cork.
"That we ask our Secretary of State
Colby to use his good offices to prevent
the murder of Mayor MacSweney."
Baltic Officers Deplore
Mannix Removal as Error
Government Should Have Al?
lowed Prelate to Land
in Queenstoten Is Belief
General feeling aboard tho Baltic
yesterday was that it was a mistake on
tho part of Britain to transfer Arch?
bishop Mannix to Penzanco.
Officers on the Baltic were inclined
to the belief that the sensible thing to
have done was to have permitted the
Archbishop to land at Queenst vn, his
destination.
The clergyman, the officers said, ac
conted the situation with good-natured
philosophy and hesitated only for a mo?
ment when informed by men from Scot?
land Yard that he would have to leave
the ship with them. The ship's officers
in a kindly way assured tho Archbishop
that the quietest way would be the best,
and he acquiesced pleasantly, but with
u show of dignity.
Among the Baltic's passengers was
the Right Rev. Ernest Vincent Shayler,
Protestant Episcopal Bishop of Omaha,
who had been to the Lambeth Confer?
ence in London.
He said that there must be an awak?
ening of the conscience of the laboring
man or within fifteen years tho entire
world of workers will have turned
Bolshevists.
The British laborer, he said, is more
radical than the American, and has al?
ready named committees as "soviet?."
Bishop Shayler said he observed in
England a leaning toward prohibition,
despite any propaganda on the part of
the government or its officials.

of Cork, who is reported near death
from hunger in Brixton prison, London,
is a nun in St. Genevieve's of the Pines,
a Catholic convent here. She has been a
member of the faculty of the college
for young women for several years,
but her identity did net generally be?
come known in Asheville until to-day.
Sisters at the convent to-day said
that Mme. MacSweney ha3 suffered
great agony over t]j,e fate of her broth?
er, but she refused to give out a state?
ment, her connection with the religious
institution, it was explained, placing
her in a position which she believed
would prohibit her from speaking.
She eagerly heard the news given
her by reporters that her brother's
condition appeared to be brighter than
for several days. She made an appeal
to Secretary of State Colby for inter?
vention for her brother, but was in?
forme? that the United States could
not act, as the Mayor was not an Amer?
ican citizen, '
Constantine Hopes to Regain
Throne; Says Greece Wants Him
Former Monarch Says He Doubts Power of
Vcirizelos to Keep Country in True Place
Among Nations, but Would Name Him Premier
PARIS, Aug. 27..Former King Con?
stantine of Greece still hopes to regain
his throne, insisting that he never ab
' dicatcd and that he is still considered
the Greek sovereign by a majority of
j the people of that country, says tbe
Lucerne correspondent of the Excelsior.
In an interview with the dethroned
monarch the correspondent was told
Premier Venizelos would not be able
to conduct affairs in Greece so as to
give that country her true place, among
nations. Constantine denied having in
any way been involved in the attempted
assassination of the Greek Premier in
this city on August 12.
"I await here," the former King said
to the correspondent, "with resignation
for the day when, by the will of my
people and the force of traditions, I
will resume the throne which f unde?
servedly lost. I nevei abdicated, and
the greater part of my people still con?
siders me King."
"Do you consider the present policy
cf Greece to be in conformity with her
?national aspirations?" he was asked.
"Our aspirations have been under?
stood by the powers," Constantine an?
swered. "The prosperity of my coun
try 'is indispensable to great Mediter?
ranean interests. I may be permitted,
however, to regret the division of
Gre.ece, caused by the too individual?
istic policy ?\ Premier Venizelos. Not?
withstanding his undoubted statesman?
like abilities he bar. been unable to
maintain in Greece the amity necessary
to her growth and prfstige."
Asked what he thought about the r^
c? nt attack upon the Greek Premier,
the former King replied: "I regret
deeply that two of my subjects com?
mitted that cowardly deed. To pre
t? n?l that I was the instigator of that
crime is monstrous. I have never
maintained in Lucerne or elsewhere a
center of repression against the new
r?gime.
"I hope soon to be allowed to return
to Athens. The Entente undertook not
to oppose my return if after the war
the people of Greece' expressed a desire
to see me again on the throne of my
father. I would then resume without
passion, rancor or hate the noble du?
ties of my crown."
"What would become of Venizelos
then?" ho was asked.
"If Greece still accorded him ker
favor," replied Constantine, "I should
not hesitate to accept him as Premier."
"What would be your attitude toward
neighboring countries?"
"It would not, perhaps, be different
from that of M. Venizelos."

LONDON, Aug. 27 (By The Associ?
ated Press).?Premier Lloyd George at
Lucerne is being bombarded with ap?
peals in behalf of Lord Mayor Mac?
Sweney. The general tenor of the ap?
peals is that a show of clemency in
this case will open the gate for recon?
ciliation with Ireland, while a refusal
would have the opposite effect. A
strongly worded letter from .Tames
O'Grady, member of the House of Com
! mons, also has been received.
' "The test of your sincerity in de
i siring a reconciliation is uncon
I ditional," says Mr. O'Grady's letter.
j "Release MacSweney. If you refuse
' this, then he damned to you and your
; government."
Timothy M. Healy, former member
; of Parliament, in a letter to the Dublin
; press, angrily accuses Premier Lloyd
; George for overriding the King's desire
! to show clemency in the MacSweney
, case. He declares that the Premier
| "by closing the gates of mercy with a
clang has made a more perverse, igno?
rant and lawless invasion of the author
i ity of the Crown in Ireland than any
; man in arms against it."
DUBLIN, Aug. 27.?A large congrega
| tion gathered at the Cathedral here
! this morning for a special mass of
? intercession celebrated in behalf of
. Lord Mayor MacSweney. The Lord
, Mayor of Dublin and the members of
! the City Corporation attended, and
several hundred dock workers sus?
pended labor, marching to the Cathe?
dral to participate in the services.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27. A number
of women who have been active in con
1 nection with the Irish freedom move
! ment here failed to-day in their effort
1 to lay before. Secretary Colby a protest
against the continued imprisonment of
Mayor MacSweney of Cork. After
waiting several hours to see Mr. Colby
the women went to the White House,
but found that officials there also were
out.
The group was headed by Mrs. Ger
: trude Corless, who said that a cable?
gram had been received from Mrs.
Hana Shoehy-Skeffington, Ireland's first
'. woman jurist, asking the newly enfran
i chised women of the United States to
! urge action in behalf of Mayor Mac
i Sweney.
CORK, Aug. 27.?A fierce though
j brief battle was fought early this
? morning at Clonakilty. a seaport south
' west of Cork, when fifty men attacked
a small garrison in the police bar?
racks. The raiders poured a heavy
i rifle fire into the building and one
'. bomb was thrown. The police re?
turned a steady lire and the attacking
' party was forced to withdraw. No
casualties were reported.

Express Rate Increase
Submitted to Board
Decision on Proposed Raise of
15 Per Cent Not Expected
Before September 1
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27?Testimony
[ in support of its application for an
additional increase of 15 per cent in
; express rates to cover higher wages
\ was presented by representatives of
i the American Railway Express Cora
[ pany to-day to examiners of the In?
terstate Commerce Commission. The
; hearing developed virtually no opposi
! tion on the part of shippers.
The examiners said at the conclusion
of the hearing that the case would be
submitted without delay to the com?
mission, which would expedite its con?
sideration. No decision is expected
before September 1, when the increase
of 12.V2 per cent already allowed the
express company will become effective.
1. R. Gwyn, chairman of the wages
and working conditions committee, and
Charles A. Lutz, comptroller of the ex?
press company, appeared in support
of the application, while Harry T.
Moore, tra?ne manager for the Atlanta,
Ga., freight bureau, urged limitation
of the advance to 10 per cent.
Mr. Gwyn told the examiners that
instead of the increased wages as
awarded by the Railroad Labor Board,
j amounting to $30,000,000, as estimated
by the board, it would reach $42,296,340,
because of the necessity for a readjust
I ment of pay for supervisory officials,
1 who were not benefited by the award.

j police authorities will probably remove

wife. The man, who was placed under
1 arrest on board the ship when she
j reached Rio de Janeiro early this week,

Canada.
Should the time of the vessel's arrival

Both Sides Say
B. R. T. Strike
Is Unavoidable
(Continued from pag? one)
vations insisted upon by the court.
Throughout tho negotiations Judge
Mayer has insisted that the court pass
upon the financial ability of the re?
ceivership to fulfill any awards that
might be made by the arbiters.
Union loaders said last night that if
a strike was decided upon it would be
called at 5 o'clock to-morrow morning.
i The termination of the negotiations,
| according to .lames M. Sheridan, presi
' dent of Local No. 917, was scheduled
j for to-night, when the 12,000 employees
! of the companv would vote on the
! terms stipulated by the court.
Bitter Struggle Is Seen
If the men vote to go out it was do
i clared the struggle would be one of the
| most bitter ever staged in tho metro
I politan district. Tho management, it
I was said, was prepared to fight with a
: vigor that would threaten tho exist
! ence of the amalgamated association as
' a factor in the system's operation.
"We will not be caught unawares
thi? time," is the way one official put
it. "Already sufficient men have been
hired to insure partial operation."
After the conference in his office
? yesterday Mr. Delaney said the union
j leaders had told him they would recom?
mend to the mass meeting of employees
I to-night that the men demand the
! court submit all matters to arbitration,
i Mr. Delaney said :
"I endeavored to dissuade the com
? mittec from this action, but without
! success. The matter of arbitration has
been fully discussed, and I suppose
.that Judge Mayer had convinced : lie
.committee that he could not abdicate
j his duty as a judge, but that he would
; ratify any arbitration award if it be
'. within the financial ability of the re
: ceiver to nay. As a matter of fact, the
I committee does understand tho limita
i tion upon tho power of tho judge, and
i the latest communication is apparently
! put forth to deceive the public.
"It is expected that the public will
believe that the company refuses to
arbitrate. This is not true, and if a
! strike ensues the responsibility will be
j upon the union leaders, and not on the
j receiver. There is absolutely no justi?
fication for a strike now. A strike
would be for the purpose of establish?
ing a closed shop and complete union
j control and not for wages or hours,
which can bo settled without strike.
; Even should a strike be called no set
i tlement can prevail beyond the finan -
; cial ability of the receiver to pay.'
U. S. Employees Taxed to
Aid Cox, Says Rodenbnrg
Illinois Representative Charges
This Practice Accounts for
Swollen Payroll of Nation
from a Special Correspondent
CHICAGO, Aug. 27.?-Representative
William A. Rodenberg, of Illinois, to?
day gave a new angle to the question
of Congressional funds by charging
that the Democratic National Commit?
tee has systematically assessed the
great, army of government employ?es
for political purposes, and that failure
of the Administration to cut down the
overloaded pay roll can be traced to
this practice. Mr. Rodenberg said:
"The wholesale charges being made
almost daily by Governor Cox and
Franklin D. Roosevelt are beginning to
fall flat. The Governor's favorite
charge that a tremendous fund is be?
ing collected by the Republicans to
buy the Presidency is an indictment
of the members of his own party and
an admission that they can bu bought.
Certainly it will not be necessary to
buy Republican votes, as the Republi?
cans are solidly behind tho Harding
Coolidge ticket. Mr. Cox must mean,
therefore, that we are going to buy
Democratic votes. I have too high a
regard for tho Democratic voters to
believe that they are for sale.
"Governor Cox would gain a great
deal more serious attention from the
public if he would turn his attention
to the method of financing his own
campaign and tell the people about
the vicious svstem at Washington and
elsewhere whereby government em?
ployees are systematically assessed by
their Democratic chiefs for political
purposes, in direct violation of the
Civil Service law.
"It is a matter of record in Wash?
ington that thtfse employees are taxed
a certain percentage of their salaries
for Democratic campaign purposes,
and if the total were made public it
would startle the entire nation. We
hear a lot about the Administration's
failures to cut down the number of
useless employees on the government
pay roll, numbering many thousands.
It is plain to see the real reason for
not doing so. So long as they aro kept
on the payroll they can be made to
pay tribute to the campaign chest of
the Democratic party.
