Dayton, Ohio, Aug. 7.--In formally
incepting the Democratic Presidential
ruination to-day Oov. James M. Cox
of Ohio assumed the role of champion
of Woodrow Wilson's League of Na
ming. The question of whether the United
Mates shall enter the league In con
cert with the other countries of the
world Oov. Cox described as the most
important which has confronted
America In a century. The issue he
attempted to draw squarely between
the Republican and Democratic par
ties. "Senator Harding, as the Repub
lican nominee for the Presidency, pro
poses In plain words that we remain
out of It," said Gov. Cox. "As the
Democratic nominee 1 favor going in."
Much of the acceptance speech, de
livered before a flag waving, cheering
host of Democrats massed In the
Montgomery County Fair Grounds, was
devoted to a defence of the league
covenant aa' President Wilson brought
tt home from France.
With all the bitterness and sar
casm at his command the Democratic
nominee assaulted the policies of Sen
ator Harding and what he termed the
&iyuwttk-abat ' led by Lodge, Pen
rose and SmoJt.
Karly Peace Promise Decried.
Senator Harding's promise of early
peace so quickly as a Republican Con
gress can pass its declaration for a
Republican President to sign. Oov.
Cox decried as meaning but one
thing a separate peace with Ger
many. Such a course, ho argued,
would make the United States an out
cast among the allied nations who
helped fight the Central Powers, now
Members of the league.
Oov, Cox opened the door for reserva
tions to the covenant, but he attached a
Itrlng tu prevent Its being swung suffi
ciently ajar to allow any reservation
tnat disturbs the vital principle.

Washington, Aug. 7, Gov. 'ox has
been won over completely by the Wil
son wing of the Democratic party
and Is now in complete accord with
the President on the covenant of the
League of Nations, while the Demo
cratic Senators who voted for bind
ing reservations to Americanize ' the
covenant are left out in the cold by
the Democratic Presidential nominee.
This Is the view of Republican politl
caiobsen'crs here to-day after read

That It Is the correct view was Indi
cated by the general atmosphere of
.satisfaction In strictly Administration
quarters . this afternoon. Gov. Cox.
Administration officials agree, said
nothing sjbottt the peace treaty and
the league covenant that President
Wilson might not have said himself
In fact, his speech reads like one of
the President's trite pleas for ratifi
cation of the covenant without "nulli
fying reservations."
Oov. ("ox's remarkable statement that
the Monroe Doctrine is the "very essence
of Article X. of the Versailles covenant"

Unskilled labor now is scarce
throughout tho United States. A
plentiful supply means lower cost of
operation, increased production and
Cheaper commodities for American
citizens and the Immigrants, according
to some officials here. It also means
reduced wages, according to lalior
leaders. A fight to pass laws to re
strict immigration is being planned by
the American Federation of Ijibor of
ficials and undertaken on direct orders
of the recent convention of the Fed
eration. New restrictive laws prob
ably will bo introduced in Congress
immediately after it convenes In De
cern ber.
Meanwhile the flow of immigrants is
expected to grow larger, officials here
say. Oppressed by high taxes result

conditions, the workors of Italy, Spain

Taking into account that approxi

went in their arguments during the long
debate on the treaty was that the league
covenant did not nullify the Monroe
Doctrine.
By devoting a third of his speech to
the treaty and the league covenant, and
relegating domestic questions to a place
of minor Importance, Gov. Cox has
bowed to the will of the President that
the league shall overshadow all other
issues in the campaign.
The Republicans here are delighted
with the political strategy by which
Senator Harding manoeuvred his much
puzzled opponent into this uncomfort
able corner. From this time forth In
the campaign all popular opposition to
the President's stubborn attitude on the
league, which has so long delayed the
return of peace, cannot help but be
directed against Gov. Cox.
RAILROAD UNION
MERGER REVIVED
Consolidation With A. F. of L.
in Prospect.
Atlantic Citt, Aug. 7. Frank Mor
rison, secretary of the American Fed
eration of Labor, stated hero to-day at
a meeting of the executive council of the
federation that the prospects for event
ual consolidation of the "Big Four"
railroad brotherhoods with the A. F. of
L. are "brighter than ever." Mr. -Morrison
said that "a threatened abandon
ment of negotiations for the merger has
been temporarily halted."
"You can say positively," he continued,
"that the engineers' application for ad
mission has not been withdrawn. The
rase of the conductors In In the course
of adjudication."
It is believed that the railroad con
ductors kill accede to the suggestions
of the A-nalgamated Order of Trolley
Employees concerning Jurisdictional dis
tinctions, and that the executive board
of the conductors will vote to come Into
the federation.
Announcement was made that 11.000
pipe fitters working for the railroads
are to be returned to the plumbers' and
rteam fitters' brotherhood, thus settllnr
another Jurisdictional dispute.
The last leg of the Aqultanlu's trip was
made at an average speed of 27.40 knots,
which is equal to thirty-one land miles
an hour.
A message received yesterday from
Capt. Sir J. T. W. Charlss said that the
Aqultapla reached Cherbourg at 3:42
o'clock Friday afternoon, making the
passage of 3,285 miles In six days one
hour and twelve minutes. The best
day's run was WS miles, which was
made during tho twenty-three hours
from noon to noon going eastward. Be
fore the ship left this port her engineers
declared she would beat her own record
of a twenty-four knots average and
the record of tho Mauretanla as well as
soon as she got used to oil fuel. Her
speed with coal as fuel had never been
as great as the builders expected.
The Mauretanla still Jiolds the speed
record -for an entire voyage, but tho
Aquitania's record of 27.40 knots, a
speed maintained for nearly four hours.
Is regarded as phonomenal. and the pre.
diction is made now that the old rec
ords of the Mauretanla soon will be
broken.
iinpfe Sums Charged Off as Not
Liable to Assessment by

Reginald C. Vandorbllt and IVed

Hiking Income tax returns for the
ear 191 j that were "Incorrect" in an
income tnx auit begun yesterday in

the United States District Court by

134,683 from Reginald C Vanderbllt,
who is alleged to havo reported that
he had no taxable Income. The Gov- j
ernment asserts that he should have
paid a tax on $443,828.72. From Fred
erick W. Vanderbllt the Government j
demands $92,090. 83, charging that,'
though he paid n tax for 1915 of J
$115,399, lie should have paid one of i

"misleading, false and fraudulent."

The Government contends, however,
that all these figures were incorrect, .
and the complaint nays:
"That the true and correct gross In-
come for that year Is the sum of $654.
770.1 and that the true and correct net
taxable Income upon which the tax was

becamo effective this morning, at which time the transporting and

The ttrikerR not only declare their intention to prevent shipping

radical groups demand the withdrawal of French troops and the de

The situation admittedly is serious and it is understood to be
more than likely that the region will be under martial law within the
next twenty-four hours. Stoppage of the mines means a reduction of

than any known In thc recent history
of the country nnd pro-Japanese reac
tionaries aro In complete control of thc
northern part of the republic, accord
ing to a statement by Dr. Sun Yat
sen, formerly Provisional President of
ChlniL He declared that Chang Tso
Iln, formerly Inspector-General of the
three Eastern Provinces, with an army
if 300,000 men, was completely the
master of the situation and is holding
I'ekln, from which the aitti-.Iapa:icse
liberals were excluded.
Many persons who believed that the
crushing of Gen. Tuan Chi -Jut meant
a setback for Japan's plans Were "wil
fully mistaken." he declared, adding
that Gen. Tuan's defeat was really
engineered by Japan.
He asserted that Gen. Tuan recently
made an alliance with leading South
Chinese against the Japanese. Refore
the truth of this new alignment was
known among the Chinese, he said,
Japan swiftly utilized the existing
anti-Japanese feeling In Gen. Tuan's
own army and among his political op
ponents, thus succeeding in eliminat
ing him.
A majority of the Chinese and prac
tically all foreigners were fooled by the
Japanese tactics, lie said, and. therefore,
applauded Gen. Tuan's downfall as a
blow struck agninst Japan, whereas ex
actly the opposite was true.
Thus .Inpan, through Oen. Chang Tso
lln. Is now supreme In China, he de
clHred, and China's position Is more
critical than at any time during the
republlr, while the Powers wholly mis
understand the situation. He asserted
that China to-day faces greater chaos
and more confusion. This, he believed,
would lay thc foundation for a new
revolution, starting from the bottom, and
which would wipe out the reactionaries.
Dr. Pun expressed the opinion that
pence between the Northern and the
Southern factions was postponed indefi
nitely. When he was asked If Japan had a
monopoly of anti-Chfnese designs, Dr.
Hun replied: "All the Powers oppose
the new China, Vested Interests have
known What tn eXPSCt under old condi
tions. It Is not knoWTJ what new con
dlUona will be produced and, therefore,
they uphold the reaction."

London, Aug. 7. Premier Lloyd
George went to Hythe to-night to
meet Premier Mlllorand to-morrow,
with the Russian situation consid
erably improved. Tt is reported that
as a result of a five hour conference
with Gregory Krasslne nnd Leo Kam
er.eff, Soviet envoys, yesterday only one
point now separates the British and
Russians. Noverthelesp tho second
meeting at Hythe to-morrow will be
accompanied by all the warlike ac
cessories which made the Germans at
Spa finally agree to disarmament and
the coal terms.
Premier Lloyd George is accom
panied by Lord Curzon, Foreign Sec
retary; Field Marshal Sir Henry Wil
son, and. significant -of tho steps con
templated, also by ' Baron Reatty.
Marshal Foch Is to accompany Pre
mier Millerand. They will cross thc
Channel aboard a destroyer early to

Whnt may be the single point stand

Marshal Foch. Sir Henry Wilson and
BafJOn Reatty represent In the way of
naval and military power that might
be used against Russia has not been
disclosed.
Lloyd George and Andrew Bonar Law
are adamant that hostilities must cease
and that the Soviet envoys must be
ready to report the halting of the Red
advance by to-morrow.
In the meanwhile reports from the
lighting front Indicate that the Reds
may be able to report cessation of the
fighting-, but not until after the attain
ment of their cherished object the fall
of Warsaw. There Is a distinctly more
optlmlBtlr feeling In all official circles j
here to-night. While no specific basis
was stated for this, it was pointed out
generally that the original allied de
mands for the protection of Poland did
not exclude the possibility of the Reds
taking measures to assure disarmament
so lomg as they permit Poland her own
form of government.
Hence it was suggested that the cap
ture of Warsaw, which Is quite possible
to-night In view of the latest meagre
reports, would not block peace, provided
Moscow gives adequate guarantees or
the ultimate withdrawal of the Bolshe
vlkl outside ethnographical Poland.
Hence it Is believed here that either !
Gen. Wrangel or the presence of allied I
missions with the Poles, particularly j
the presence of Gen. Weygand, Marshal
Koch's chief lieutenant, would constitute
a doubtful element in the settlement

Paris, Alls.'. 7. Opinion here Is be
coralng more nnd more alarmed nt
i lie repercussion throughout Conti
neutftl Europe over the military suc
cesses of the Bolshevlkl sgalnii
Poland ami the Billed hesitating1 pol
icy. Premier Millerand nnd Marshal
Foch left here to-night for the
Hythe conference. They are believed
to be hopeful, but not confident, of
getting Premier Lloyd George to meet
the situation with firm measures and
by adopting an allied policy that will
be more alone tho Hue of the r'rencli
theory that the Soviets represent not
a Government but a social plague,
with whose emissaries It Is useless Co
parley in the ordinary diplomatic
sense.
Every day's developments seem to
moke clearer that the Holshcvikl in
the llrst place have badly broken the
allied diplomatic front maintained
through the war nnd the Peine Con
ference. nnd in the second place to
have started o new fermeututloa
among the radical elements in monj
countries. Roth of those conditions
are giving the French u bad wise of
nerves. So far as the diplomatic
fronts are concerned France aud Eng
land are the only two nations trying
to hold together, Italy and the smaller
nations created by the peace treaty
which once bowed to thc Central En
tente's authority now adopting their
own policy and a new grouping
in which they are scheming for am--liltions
nnd playing the part as usuaL
Wuahlnarton Disappoint.
All this Is being blamed here on the
bad peace treaty, and this In turn is
laid to ITesldent Wilson's doors for
having forced his ideas on Europe.
Despatches from Washington, Indi
cating that the Wilson Administration
would not take a hand in the Russo
Pollsh situation, and was still offer
ing the league as the only panacea,
are causing surprise and disappoint
ment here; surprise because no one
sees how tho league could offer aiiy
effective assistance at present, and
disappointment because the French
Government had hoped the Wilson
Government would at least go ro fat
as to issue a statement of some kind
indicating moral support for Poland's
cause, which it was felt here might
have had considerable effect upon tho i
situation and particularly upon Ger- I
many, which being still technically at j
war, but desiring to rume relations,
professes not to know where the
United States stands officially with re
spect to the new Poland as constituted
by the peace treaty.
To add to tho fears entertained by
the French regarding Germany's atti
tude and the new tone of belligerency
Indicated by Dr. Simons, German For
eign Minister, in the threat to us
force if tho French cross Germany
toward Poland, is a secret treaty be
tween the Soviets and Austria, whose
terms wetre published yesterday in
Washington and comes as a complete
surprise to thc French Government.
Indicate New Allnnmeiit.
This treaty, through the somewhat be,
nevolent neutrality of the C-ceh and
Italy's quasi recognition of the Soviet
Government, Indicates new alignments in
Central Europe which the French re
gard as giving great encourugement to
the Germans to break the Versailles
treaty.
In the opinion of more than one diplo
matist here, the Soviet leaders are clev
erly taking advantage of the general
European mess due to the fact that tin
peace treaty was superimposed upon tin.
