"I'm betting Russia Is as tired of

Berlin, July 23. Two authoritative
denials of reports that tho Russian
Soviet Government was planning an
Invasion of Germany were issued here
to-day. One of them was contained In
the fed Flag, a. Communist organ.
while the other was In the form of
statement by Victor Kopp, Soviet en
voy to Berlin.
"We German Communists nhvay
maintained and do still maintain that
a proletariat revolution In Germany Is
an affair of the German workers alone
and that It cannot lead to victory If It
i aided by Russian soldiers," tho Red
Flag says. "Wo are In agreement on
this point with our Russian brothers.
"Tho Russians will not cross the
German frontier. They will not do
the German counter-revolutionists the
favor of providing, by an attack by
Russians, the pretext for tho estab
llshment of a military dictatorship In,
Germany."
- Seek Ruaalnn Market Only.
Kopp declared that the Soviet policy In
connection with tho Russian frontier
states has been prompted by the sole
purposo or gaming aoceas to German
markets, and that Russia would hardly
declare war on a nation which was
needed for Russian economic rccupera
tlon Alfto he nrmierl that ihn avaimih.
tlon of Lithuania proved that there was
no Russian plan for the invasion of Qer
many, as Gen. Paul C. Von Rennen
kampt has shown that this was the best
hase for an offensive against East
Prussia.
The Soviet official organ, the Pravada
of Moscow, was quoted hero as saying
in connection wltn the polish offensive
"Russia will continue the war. until a
victorious conclusion Is reached and
Poland has ceased to exist. Tho aim of
the Soviet Government ls to establish
Poland as a Soviet state, through which
Russia will gain access to Germany."
A member of an Entente military mis
sion who has Just arrived In Swlne
munde, Pomerania, from Finland, re
lates that Gen. Budjency, whose che
nomenal rlso from a non-commissioned
officer In the Bolshevist army to a Gen
eral, and whoso .striking victories over
Gen. Judenltch and Gen. Denlklne made
him a nntlonat hero In Russia, now Is
being fettered by Intrigues led by Karl

Cqll Him "nnmlnnXnpoleon."
He already has been referred to as
the "Russian Napoleon." and the non-
Bolshevlkl are scheming to commit to
his leadership the establishment of a
military dictatorship after tho Polish
war Is ended. Budjency's cavalry, by a
characteristically dashing attack on
Rovno, made the rolling up of the Polish
line by the Bolshevik! possible.
Many bands of Polish deserters are
crossing the frontier Into Czeeho

that Russia desired economic Inter

Marion. Ohio, July 23. The Repub
llcan party throughout tho nation re
sponded to-day in a spirit of confi
dence and satisfaction to Senator
Harding's speech of acceptance dellv
ered hero yesterday. Tho first wave
ot response which beat back upon
Marlon showed tho party has been
united and infused with real fighting
spirit by the new leader's call.
From conservative Republicans, lib
eral Republicans, anti-Wilson Demo
crats and many other groups of parti
sans camo warm praise. Tho party
leaders were Jubilant. Tho Senator
was aa happy, and celebrated by drlv.
lng with several friends to Mansflcld
for golf and luncheon.
The generous pralso which greeted
his summons to the 1920 standard
filled him with gratitude. Ho knows
he enters the campaign at tho head
of a reunited party from whoso ranks
has been dispelled all of tho bitter
neas of 1912.
Nothing From Johnson or Borah.
The Senator will spend a few days
outlining several speeches. In which ho
will take up in more detail some of the
bGr Issues of the campaign. There Is to
be no pause. The., nomlneo himself
Is to drive hard and fast and he looks
to the party leaders to follow closely.
Republican delegations will begin their
pilgrimages to the Harding porch one
week from to-morrow, and from that
date until cfcctlon there wilt be no letup.
Although no word was received to-day
from Senators Johnson and Borah or
from William H. Taft giving their opin
ions of the Senator's treatment of the
peace and Leaguo of Nations issues. It
Is believed Mr. Harding's radical utter- i
ahco, discarding the league and Wilson- j
Ian peace policy, wUI bring tho two
Western Senators into the campaign as
militant supporters of tho nominee.
One of tho very earliest telegrams of
congratulation received by Senator
Harding on his acceptance speech was
from Senator Philander C. Knox of
Pennsylvania, who wired:
'Heartiest congratulations. It was a
strong and stirring utterance by an
earnest and patriotic man. expressed
with that becoming modesty without
which no man ls truly great"
Col. Raymond Robblns. one of the
conspicuous Progressive leaders In 1912,
who conferred last week with the Sena
tor, said to-day:
The utterances or Mr. Harding re
garding the League of Nations are abso
lutely satisfactory and assure the sup
port of Senators Johnson and Borah and
all that group."
Will H. Hays, chairman or the Na
tional Committee, was satisfied when he
left to-day. Before going he perfected
arrangements for making the division of
clubs an Important factor of the cam
nalgn. Earle C. Kinsley of Vermont Is
director ot the division, and his assistant
is Lewis Wallace, Jr., of Crawfordsvllle,
Ind.. son of the Indiana statesman and
author. The work of organizing clubs
all over the country will be pushed with
Igor.

White, who was representing a normally

the victims of the wrath the Wilson ap

While the plana framed at trls con

Fenr Another Letter CnmpolKn.
The President has decreed thero must
be a "solemn referendum" on the League
of Nations. It Is assumed that such a
referendum would Involve tho defeat of
Senatorial league opponents and the
election of those who profess friendli
ness to the Wilson brand of Intel nation,

With mich a situation existing Dem
ocrats here fear the President may feel
called on to write some of his well
known letters to various constituencies
demanding that they defeat that candi
date for tho Senate and elect this one,
as he did In Georgia In 1918. Demo
crats here admit their fear that the re
sults of such a letter In 1920 would be
fatal to the man In whose Interest It was
written.
Alexander P. Moore, close friend of
Theodore Roosevelt, telegraphed from
Atlantic City:
Your speech of acceptance Is a new
declaration of Independence. Every true
American who reads it must vote for
you. It ls the best American document
this country has read in years. It rings
true In every syllable, and this speech
alone will elect you President of the
United States. I am more proud than
ever that I know you and am proud to be
member of the party of which you are
the standard bearer. Mrs. Moore (Lil
lian Russell) joins me in every word of
this, and she says she now considers It
patriotic duty to take the stump In
your Interest. Kind regard to Mrs. Harding."
O. H. P. Shelley, national committee
man rrom Jioniana, a supporter 01
Roosevelt In 1912, heard Senator Har
ding's speech. He said :
It ls my Judgment tne progressives
of the West will line up solidly for him, I
both because of his vigorous American
Ism and his splendid vision of the needs
of the great West."
The women representing their national
council made no further move to-day to
force from Senator Harding a more posi
tive statement regarding his desire that
the Tennessee Legislature pass tho suf
frage amendment Anticipating their re
newed demand, the Senator sent a mes
sage to John C. Houk. a Republican
member, in part:
"It ls my earnest hops that" the Ri-
publlcans In the Tennessee Legislature,
acting upon solemn conviction, can see
their way clear to give their support to
this amendment"
NEW METHOD FOR
labels and makers' trade marks.
Man's Cont Looks Like Clnr.
What appears to be the most impor
tant of these, from the police point of
view, ls a man's bluo sergo coat bear
ing the label, "Pulaski's Leading Men's
Btore." In Jackson county, Michigan,
about 100 miles west of Detroit whence
the trunk was shipped, ls the small vil
lage Pulaski, and tho coot is believed to
have como from there. A pair of trou
sers belonging to the coat wera also in
the trunk.
Another garment that greatly Inter
ested the detective was the coat of n,
suit of a well known brand of overalls.
There were also a man's cheap bluo
shirt with a soft collar attached, a
man's black fedora hat and a mass of
clothing that probably had belonged to
the slain woman.
This latter consisted of a pink sweat
er with a belt, a woman's brown coat
the collar of which was trimmed with
fur, a brown skirt, a petticoat, some
undergarments and a woman's upturned
Dlack straw hat All had been packed
Into tho trunk in such a way as to
keep the body in position. A white cot
ton blanket with a blue stripe and a
Turkish towel also had been thrust into
the trunk. j
The trunk Itself must have been new
when this grim freight was placed In 1
It. There were no remnants of old I
tags upon It and It showed no signs of
previous travel. Detectives who looked
at It concluded that It probably had
been purcnaaea in Detroit

Jly ARTHUR F. ALDRIDGE.
Resolute won yesterday the fourth
race of the series with the Shamrock
for the America's Cup, and the yachts
now are tied with two victories each.
ThcJlfth and deciding race ls ached-
tlfcd for to-day. It will be over a
windward or leeward course, and the
result will depend largely on the
weather.
In the winds cxpetiehced bo far in
these races Resolute has shown better
than Shamrock in turning to wind
ward, but Shamrock can outrun and
outreach tho defender. Should the
final race be sailed first to leeward In
a wind moderate at the start but dying
at the finish Shamrock should have a
good chance of taking the Cup.
It will bo a hot race no matter what
tho weather ls. All the races havo
been exciting, and yesterday's was no
exception. Tho only thing that marred
tho contest was tho constant reminder
that Shamrock had to allow 6 minutes
10 seconds. Had the two been sailing
boat for boat the present series would
have been tho hardest fought In the
history of yacht racing.
Resolute defeated Shamrock yesterday
by 3 minute 18 seconds actual time.
To this must bo added 6 minutes 40

O.v Board Steam Yacht Victoria,
July 23. Still hopeful of winning the
fifth race and the America's Cup, Sir
Thomas .Llpton refused,, t0 be dis
couraged this evening by the poor
showing his challenger, Shamrock IV...
made against the Resolute in to-day's
contest. 1
"My men, I am sure. ha-e done
their best," he told the newspaper
men after the race. "Resolute ls a
wonderful boat on all points of sail
ing and, as you know, they have had
moro training on her. My Shamrock
has had only three preparatory races,
whereas the Resolute, I believe, had
twenty, and I'm positive my crew did
tho very best they could." .
Sir Thomas sat on the bridge of the
Victoria throughout the race with his
Dinocuiarc fixed on Shamrock. He saw
a heartbreaking exhlbltlon-of bad luck,
bad Judgment, eall shifting. Indecision
and mistakes, while the better managed

That was the critical phase of tho
International yachting contest reached
yesterday after tho Herreshoff de
fender, over a thirty mile triangular
course, had beaten the challenger by
3 minutes IS seconds actual elapsed
time. The Resolute did not need her
time allowance. Because of the smaller
club topsail carried by the Shamrock
yesterday that handicap was cut down
to 6 minutes 40 seconds. By corrected
time, therefore, the Bristol boat beat
the Lipton pet by 9 minutes 58 sec
onds. It was a fast race sailed under a
breeze that held true for tho major
part of tho distance and freshened to
a twelve knot blow, which put both
sloops to their prettiest paces. The
struggle finished with a rush through
a black squall that loomed ahead
when the yachts had completed moro
than half of the last leg.
The crucial test is to-be sailed to

Details of Each Lejr.
On the first leg, In a wind light at the
start, but strengthening, Resolute .beat
Shamrock 1 minute 44 seconds actual
sailing.
On the second leg, a reach, the wind
still freshening, Shamrock gained and
beat Resolute 50 seconds. She sailed
the ten miles In 49 minutes 51 seconds,
which Is better than twelve nautical
miles an hour, and remarkably .fast
sailing.
The third leg was marred by a sharp
squall In which both yachts shortened
sail. Shamrock at first overhauled
Resolute and at one time led for a few
moments, but afterward Resolute drew
away again nnd finished first.
The American yacht was cheered more
than at any time during the series,
showing that her victory was popular.
When Shamrock finished she, too, was
greeted by screeching sirens, whistles
and cheers. She had done well, but had
been outhandled and In some way out-
lucked.
Resolute demonstrated that she Is a
wizard turning to windward, and for a
boat so much smaller than the Sham
rock her performance In reaching was
marvellous. Her able skipper, Charles
Francis Adams, and his aids, Robert W,
Emmons, John Parkinson and others,
with the crew, worked like a wonderful
piece of machinery. Those In charge
showed raro Judgment all through the
contest and all orders and changes of
sails were carried out with a smartness
that could not have been excelled.
Adams Oat to Win.
Sometimes Mr. Adams might have
been criticised perhaps for taking
chances, particularly so in the squall
on the last leg. He hardly favored the
yacht at all, driving her on, evidently
bent on finishing first If possible. He
coutd have eased her, taken things com
fortably and allowed Shamrock to finish
and still have held the race safe. An
accident would have given the cup to
the challenger.
However, tho American people like
pluck. All outside the Hook yesterday
fully appreciated tne situation ana were
delighted to see the American yacht go
through the contest and finish first
without parting a rope yarn.
It most emphatically put a stop to any
expression such as "Shamrock was the
faster boat but was beaten by the rules
which made her give such a big allow
ance." But only- those unfamiliar with
the rules would make such a com
ment.

"If I don't succeed It won't be because
I haven't had the best talent in England
to help me."
"If you lose to-morrow. Sir Thomas,
will you challenge again?" asked one of
the reporters.
"I have to discuss that with my club
at homebefore I can rechallengc, but I
am very hopeful for to-morrow. I pave

turning to his friend. Sir Thomas Dewar,
"will we, Tom?"
Throughout the race the Victoria, as
usual, was a centre of attraction for
sightseeing craft. Her good naturcd
owner never failed to lean from the
bridge and wave his cap In answer to
greetings such as "Good luck, Tom"'
"Hope you win!" "Atta boy!" Ac
Barton's Tactics a Pasale.
The Shamrock partisans on the Vie-
torla were aa much puzzled as any of th
other yachting parties to find n reason
for Skipper Burton's tactics on the last
leg. When he took In his club tonsall
most of them thought there had been an
accident of some sort.
Commodore Jarvis of the Royal
Canadian Yacht Club, one of tlt most
experienced yachtsmen In Canada, said
he thought Ilurton figured he had lost
anyhow and was taking a gsmbler's
chance, A fquall threatened and If It

boat's mishap, Mr. Jarvis said.
Sir Thomas, however, would not ac

topsail flapping and I knew something
must be wrong." the baronet said. "But

precious old trophy ror a long period.
But as Sir Thomas himself has said,
yacht racing Is an uncertain pastlmo
and therein lies much of its charm. Sev
eral popular Illusions which the experts
have done much to foster were blown out
of the water during yesterday's sensa
tional race. Since the challenger won
the first trial over the triangular course
many persons have expressed the opin
ion that In that particular type of racing,
because it Is likely to afford two ten mile
reaches and only one ten mile leg of
windward work, the Lipton boat was. an
almott certain winner.
Old Notions Go Overboard.
Yesterday's race exploded this notion
thoroughly. In the first leg all thrash
ing into the wind the Resolute gained
on her adversary 1 minute 48 seconds.
During the second leg. which was wholly
a broad reach, supposedly the chal
lenger's fastest point of sailing, the best
she could do waj to register a gain of
44 seconds.
The final leg, had the wind held true,
would have been also a broad reach ,
back to the lightship. Wind variations
and the encountering of the black squall,
which swung the wind round crazlly
for twenty minutes, compelled resort
within the final three miles to reach
ing, tacking and running before the
wind. In that last diversified lee. which
was crammed to repletion with mari
time melodrama, the American vaWif
gained on the Shamrock two minutes
reurieen seconds.

Cup the present series seems destine.l to
stand conspicuous for the precedents It

only Instance of a challenging yacht
winning a race, boat for boat, ecept
through accident to the defender. It
presented last Wednesday the astound
ing precedent of both craft, after a
nammer and tongs contest over thirty
miles of white capped water, crossing
the goal with their elapsed time Iden
tical to the fractional part of a second.
As though that were not sufficiently
sensational, the situation Is presented
now for the first time of two successive
victories for each contestant, with tho
fate of the Cup hanging upon the out
come of a fifth race. No fifth heat ever
before was necessary. Until now (he

Fastest Race of the Series.
For an hour yesterday, fron 11
o'clock to noon, few men wise in
weather lore would have been bold
enough to predict that ere sunset those
who follow the fortunes of the snub
nosed emerald boat and the Herreshoff
white fairy were to witness the fastest
