PLEA FOR POLAND
BY VATICAN PAPER
Holy See Asks That Free Na

Romi. Aug. IS. The Otoerratore Ro
mnnn, the official organ of the Vatican,
publishes to-day an evidently Inspired
article on Poland, saying the special
benevolence of the Holy See toward the
"noble, devoutly Catholic, chivalrous
and brave Polish nation." la well known.
The Tope, It Is recalled, had asked for
the independence of Poland ever since
August, 1917, when he addressed his
peace proposals to all the heads of the
belligerent States, and had repeated this
request In his Intercourse with the heads
of the States, particularly President Wil
aon. "We do not wish to nor can w now
ascertain whether the responsibility for
the offensive lies with Poland or Rus
sia, or whether not only England but
France tried to restrain Poland from
her risky adventure," continue the ar
ticle. "What It la possible to know la
that the Holy See from the day on
sVhlch Poland wa restored to national
life ho never ceased to exhort her to
moderation In asking or even accepting
territories Inhabited by majorities be
longing to other nationalities.
"These exhortation were repeated
several times, both In Rome and In War
saw .
"The Pope urged the faithful after
the outbreak of the Rueso-Polish con
flict to pray God for two favors only,
namely, to spare the Polish people from
the supreme misfortune of again losinr
their Independence, and to apare Europe
from the horrors of new war.
'LITTLE ENTENTE' IS

Prague, Belgrade and Bucha

Rome, Aug. IS. n agreement has
been reached by Ota Prague. Belgrade
and Bucharest (o c rnments, called the
"Little Entente,"' for the self-protection
of Czcscho-Slovakla, Serbia and Ru
mania against Russia or enemies in the
Balkans, according to the OiornaU
d'ltalia to-day. To make this coalition
more effective, says the newspaper, the
"Little Entente" Is anxious to have the
Adriatic problem settled, so that Serbia
may be free from any threat on the
part of Italy.
The Glornnl d'ltalia expresses the
view that the present affords a good
opportunity to Insist upon the applica

"I have long expected that President

only talks about moral principles If he

"President Wilson never has been

WRANGEL'S CAREER

Idly abating, in the opinion of most of
the newspaper here. The situation
which arose through the recognition of
Gen. Baron Wrangel as head of the
South Ruaslan Government is so Im
proved, that, according to L'Homme
I.tbre, another meotlng of Premiers
Kllltrand and Lloyd George at Boulogne
will be unnecessary.
One of the clroumstances which may
best favor a resumption of close col
laboration between France and England,
says the Pefif ParUien, is the agree
ment now realised between France and
the United States on the Russian ques
tion. The EoKo de Port voices the sami
opinion.
'Bolshevism Is an enemy," the news
paper continues, "and England knows
trat perfectly. The only questions In
volved are those of tactics and not it
sentiment. These may separate her from
France, but the voice from oversea re
mind her with special force of European
duty, and It will help to efTace all diver
gencies between France and her allies."
The Figaro says the Washington note
relative to Russia has had several good
affect in that It has brought moral aid
to Poland and cleared up the diplomatic
situation.

"Tney will establish Bolshevik re-

thst the Bolshevikl do not represent the

still no ground for him to Interfere.
That Is the affair of the Russian people
and no concern of a believer in self
determination unless his country Is at

was surprised It was not worse. Presi
dent Wilson has a sentimental attach

to awaken the hostility of the Russians
because America needs s friendly Rus

but President Wilson has the time and
evidently believes he can come back

has been begun by Government officials
No Immediate anticipation of recog

mander of the Flrat Transbalkal Coa

lilt, hu captured an entire battallun and
several maehln guns. He wa then
promoted to the grade of Major-Gen

Following the flrat day of the revo

As a division commander and after
ward In command of a cavalry corps,
he continued with the army until the
disorders of the revolution had de
stroyed Its discipline completely.
Gen. Wrangel then retired to the
Crimea Arrested by the Bolshevlkl, hs
very narrowly escaped execution, his life
being saved only through the heroic de
votion of his wife, who fallowed him to
prison and after persistent sppeals
finally obtained his release.
In tn- summer of 1018 with the
growth of the volunteer anti-Bolshevik
army he got command of a brigade un-

where he prepared the evacuation of the
