NOT TO MARCH

Temporary Retention
Of Conquered Land.
By FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE. '
Public Ledger Service.)
Poland has "acquiesced" in the
suggestion of the United States government
that she. in the flush ofj
military victory over Soviet Russia, |
commit no aggression on Russian \
territory. The Polish reply to the
American "admonition" of August
21 was received yesterday through
our legation at Warsaw. It was described
last night at the State Department
as being of a character
that carries no disappointment to
this government.
Text from WarMn,
The Polish Legation in Washington
yesterday received a message
from Warsaw conveying the text of
a declaration issued by the government.
It affirms that?
"Poland has never waged a war
against the Russian people. Poland
does not desire in any way]
to annex foreign territories. On
the contrary, Poland believes that
friendly relations with the Russian
people form the essential basis for
the pacification of .Eastern Europe." i
Armistice Dis?-u*?ed.
The rest of the declaration is de-:
voted to armistice and peace ques-j
tions. and declares?
"The present victory of the Polish
army did not change the atti-l
tude of the government regarding
the question of peace. Endurable'
peace based on honor and justice1
was the goal which the Polish gov-'
ernment tried to reach in the mo-j
ment of supreme danger when the |
invasion of the Bolshevik army
menaced the existence of the na-j
9 tion."
It is likely to be found, when the;
facts are disclosed. thar Poland sug-J
gests the retenCTon of such Russian
territory as her victorious army'
may occupy until "a normal Russia";
4 is re-established. Above all. she j
declares it must be made impossible j
for Lemne arfll Trotxky to be in
i military-geographical touch withj
German territory.
Poland will be willing. I am au-|
thoritatively informed, to hold an
eastern frontier beyond the Curzon.

such safeguard as that which the

SUGAR UNDER
SC AT PLANTS
Tariff Board Report Shows
Huge Profits Made Since
War Began.
(Public Ledger Service.>
Refined sugar costs to the factories
mage from 6.711 cents to
8.375 cents, according to an investigation
of^he fhduFtry just completed
b$* th^V'nited States Tariff Commission.
The returns on productive
investment for thrc? years were 28
l?er cent in ID 17. 10.32 per cent in
J91S and 19.67 per cent in 1919.
Direct labor costs varied from *.076
to .333 of a cent a pound, but wages
atercd directly into most other
?fuel supplies and marketing.
The report shows a rapid rise in various
items k>i cost from 1914
through the first six months of 1919
Altogether the total cost in 1919 was
more than double what it was in
1914.
"The present world shortage of
sugar." says 1% report, "is attributed
to the decreased production of
beet sugar in Germany, Austria- ]
Hungary. Russia. France and other |
Huropcan countries. As a result of ,
the war European production in 19181919
was reduced by 4.500,000 tons,
as compared with the output in i
1913-1914.
f "Notwithstanding the decrease in
supply, domestic consumption in
1919 exceeded all previous records,
the per capita consumption for that
year being S7.6 pounds. This exceeded
the per capita consumption
of 1918 by*twelve pounds."

She lifted her diffident eyelids and

New York. Aug. 26.?Republicans
are making preparations to start a!
I "backfire" on Gov. Cox as a result |
of his charges of an enormous "slush
fund" to be used in aiding the election
of the Republican ticket. Not
only does Will H. Hays, chairman of
the Republican national committee,
intend *.o disprove Gov. Cox's allegation
of a $15,000,000 Republican fund. '
but he expects also to show that the;
Democrats themselves have been
planning for a long time to collect a
j campaign fund that will surpass
anything t lie Republicans ever
dreamed of.
When Hays appears next Monday '
in Chicago before the Senate committee
engaged in campaign fund in- j
vestigation he will be pr#?parecl to ;

declares.
Hays and his assistants have been

tion. it is said, some interesting re- '
latons are impending.

"Let It?erve, But Not Dominate

In Hailing Victory.
"Let party serve you, but not
dominate you," warned Secretary of
State Bainbridge Colby in his welcoming
address to the newly enfranchised
women at the suffrage
victory celebration in Poll's last
night.
"Remember, when you elect an
administration, to support it
whether it was your sucrage which
helped to secure the victory or not.
Say 'Please <5od,?-It is well!' and
that it is America's decision.
"Do not let party feeling cast
film before your eyes. Let us be
loyal to faithful public sentiment.
Let us all be good Americans, keeping
open and unbiassed minds.''
Theater Flag Draped.
It was an enthusiastic audience
which crowded the flag and flowei
draped theater to hear the congratulatory
message of the President
brought by the Secretary of
State, who had earlier in the day
performed the last official act in
what Miss Charl Williams termed
"the comedy, the tragedy and romance"
of the struggle in the Tennessee
legislature. i
At the entry of Secretary Colby
the entire assemblage rose to its
feet, while the orchestra played a
march. It was an audience which
bubbled over with victorious enthusiasm;
an audience which cheered
the mention of Republicans as well
as Democrats. At every reference tc
President Wilson prolonged cheers
filled the auditorium.

'The President called me on thf

me to tell you that he deemed it on#

that this great event which has en

land?the ratification of the Nineteenth
Amendment, so stoutly foughl

been able to do the little called foi
to advance this great cause."
Prolonged cheering greeted tlx
I resident's message.
Prenident Not Seeking Cilory.
In speaking o- the President'!
part in the suffrage victory See re
tary Colby said: "I have noted wit!

has greeted the mention of th<
President s name, and I want to saj
that there is no American in thii
broad land who cares less to project
himself into this celebration foi

"If any thoughts are in th<

"The speeches at the Ohio Democratic
State convention fully confirmed
the conclusion Insisted on in
these columns: that Gov. Cox is
alone with Mr. Wilson in holding:
that there cannot be any league, or
peace, or disarmament without the
J equivalent of Article X in the covej
nant accepted as a common principle
# and i obligation by the nations;
of the earth.
To be sure. Mr. Cox said: "Our ^
position is not , unbending. We
claim that we can accept anything
in reservation with interpretations
that calls attention to the limitations
of the Constitution?that calls
attention of other nations that we|
will go thus far and no farther.'*!
But the Republican reservation asj
to Article X does not interpret Article
X. It eliminates the obligation
of the United States to it.

1 Today 1 had an exclusive and auI

J I was told in London, never ap.

Mr. Collins made this
| emphatic reply:
There will be no compromise
t and no negotiations with any Hrit?
ish government until Ireland is
5'.recognized as an independent re?
i public."
ti Considering the fact that Mr.
"j Collins is the lrifh Republican min- '
1 ister of finance, that he is considj:
ered by responsible officials of the
? British government as being the
- secret leader of the Sinn Kein and
1 that his orders are said to bo rei

i the above statement seems lo dis ,
pose of all hope of a peaceful Irish
' settlement.
HI* Faith I nMhaknble.
I found Mr. Collins a >oung nian.J
1.1 apparently still in his thirties. His
? attitude is uncompromising. his
faith in the ultimate realization of
an Irish republic reeognized as sueh
by the whole world is a vital factor
of his life. He is convinced the,
J A*merican people believe in Irish independence.
He has such a keen j
"j sense of humor that no one enjoys,
so much as he the efforts of thej
British authorities to capture him.j
' His face reflects his confidence in j
- Ireland, in the Sinn Fein and in i
I himself. !
i "For 750 years Ireland has fought J
. for her freedom and independence,!
accepted compromises and always |
I has been defeated and disappoint-j
' ed," he said. "This time we are not!

No Trouble Getting Money.
j "Last year we asked for a loan j
' of ?250.000 from the Irish people,

Miss Conway upon the

threw away the remaining inch,

his center of gravity to his lowi

Mr. Kaker, who wan presented to

with an elaborate and forcible
argument in favor of the article.
He said the whole issue hinged on
Article X and t?hore could pot be
any league or peace without Article
X.
Thus every speech which Gov.

their votes to secure a league,
under the political conditions impossible

he asked, "when Eloyd George i

j The fifty-one cities in the foregoing

figures, have a combined population

to .*51 cents on every man. woman
and child in the fifty-one cities."
The governor referred to a dispatch

from Fred W. 1'pham. national
treasurer of the Republican com1

"less than a week ago" had ' said
that the fund would be three million
dollars."
"In short, he continued. "Mr. Upham
has multiplied Mr. Hayes' figures
by two. From the evidence
which we shall submit T think you

justified in multiplying Mr. I'pham's
figures by two."
