as Indicating the dismemberment of Rus
sia, to which this government is opposed
Unalterably.
This statement of policy is directly op
posite to that which has been pursued
by Premier Lloyd George and other
European statesmen who have encour
aged the formation of independent states
and who are reported to have extended
promises of support to them in exchange
for concessions.
A shaft at .Tapnn is seen by many in
that part of the note which declares this
government favors the “withdrawal of all
foreign troops front territory embraced
by these (Russian) boundaries"
This statement is believed 'to be aimed
at the Japanese occupation of Siberia.
BRITISH FORESEE
SETTLEMENT BASIS
LONDON. Aug. 11. —Members of the
British cabinet, it was learned today,
believe there is a satisfactory basis ot
settlement in the armistice and peace
terms which the bolsheviki were to pre
sent to Toland at the Minsk conference
today.
The terms were announced by Premier
Lloyd George in the house of commons
during the night, after they had been
handed to him by Leo Kameneff, one of
the Russian representatives.
In brief the bolsheviki terms call for:
Immediate reduction of the Polish
army to 10,000 men with an annual
draft for the army of .50,000 men
thereafter. The time limit set on
this demobilization is one month.
Surrender to Russia of all' super
fluous arms.
Prohibition of all shipments of
troops or material into Poland from
abroad.
Granting to Russia of access to the
Baltic with commercial advantages.
Handing over to Poland of addi
tional territory on its eastern fron
tier to be given to the families of
Poles killed in the war as compensa
tion.
Demobilization of all Polish war
industries.
Withdrawal of Russian troops
from the Polish front as rapidly as
the army is demobilized.
Fixing the armistice line as the
actual front when fighting ends, the
Poles to withdraw thirty-four miles
to create a neutral zone.
The Russian communication Indicated
the front to be granted Poland by the
Russians would be better for Poland
than the borders established by the al
lies.
LLOYD GEORGE
MAKES NO COMMENT.
Lloyd George did not comment on
these subjects as he wished to wait for
the conference today.
Two ataches of the Russian mission
started for Moscow .today from London.
It is believed they carried a message
from Kameneff to Premier Lenine, urg
ing that the British terms be accepted
by the Russian soviet.
The British terms, as expressed in a
recent communication, called for cessa
tion of hostilities.
Laborites announced today that a meet
ing had been called for Friday of all
trades unions throughout the kingdom.
They will meet here and watch the
government, ready to carry out thei
threat to “down tools” and paralyze the
nation’s Industry if war appears likely
through possible breakdown of the
Minsk conference.
At the meeting between Lloyd George
and the laborites assurance was given the
latter that the government would await
the outcome of the Minsk conference be
fore taMng any warlike steps.
The laborites told the premier their
platform was “not anti-government," but
anti-war."
I.k>vil George replied : “I want peace.”
But h insisted that Poland’s integrity
and independence should be preserved.
E litorial comment today was rather
uncertain.
While the Daily Chronicle said the air
hnd cleared and that peace was in sight,
the Telegraph took a gloomier view,
pointing out that destruction of Poland
would mark collapse of the Versailles
treaty.
Th • Dally Herald said that only “di
re-1 action" by the laborites averted war
temporarily.
The Daily News saw the war clouds
blowing over and believed the Minsk
jc r'< y would tiring peace “unless the
Poles lose their senses."
The Daily Mail. believes peace rests
with the bolsheviki.
FRANCE RECOGNIZES
WRANGLE’S REGIME
PARIS. Aug. It. France has officially
recognized Gen. Wrangel's regime as the
de facto government es southern Rus
sia, it was announced today at the for
eign office.
Wrnngel ' the anti Bolsheviki leader
in th? Crimea.
A French high commissioner will be
sent immediately to Sebastopol, it was
Stated.
The foreign office pointed out that
Vrangel plans to set up a genuinely
dcrzoerotic government and to have Rus
sia fulfill the obligations of the czar’s
regime, including payment of debts to
other nations.
Ills military successes, the statement
said, demonstrated that he is capable of
maintaining bis position against bolshe
viki assaults.
France has notified Its commercial at
tache at London to have no further deal
ings with the bolshevik representatives
there.
This is believed to be the result of
President Wilson's note to Italy in which
he stood fast against any recognition of
the reds, which has been the policy of
France all along.
POLISH STAFF STILL
REFUSING ADVICE
PARIS," Aug. 11.—A serious clash lias
occurred between the members of ttic
inter-allied military mission in Poland
mid the Polish high command, and ad
vices received from Warsaw today in
dicated that the Polish general staff
still was refusing to accept advice from
the allied experts.
Gen. Weygarid, chief of staff to Mar
shal Foch and head of the French of
ficers in Poland, offered to take supreme
command of the Polish army on con
dition it be withdrawn immediately for
concentration oebiud the Vistula river
and in Galicia.
Gen. Pilsudski, head of the Polish na
tional council of defense, threatened to
retire from active military service if the
Polish war office accepted Gen. Wey
gan’s proposal.
Gen. Weygand, who is credited with
mapping out some of the victories of
Marshal Foch in the world war, insisted
and the matter still is hanging fire.
It was said at the Polish legation to
day that the Polish government is giv
ing the matter serious consideration, but
it is understood in French government
circles that the Polish government al
ready has rejected it.
Gen. Pilsudski is said to have opposed
the proposal of Gen. Weygand on the
ground that, if the French general's plan
were accepted it would mean the sur
render of more than half of Poland to the
Russians.
I The Polish government Is reported to t

the allies to give Poland any effective
aid.
Word reached the Polish legation that
the Poles have decided to evacuate War
saw without a serious fight and to re
tire behind the Vistula river.
Polish airmen reported that the Rus
sians have brought up heavy artillery
and are prepared to bombard the Polish
capital and forts surrounding it, If re
sistance is offered.
So far neither Warsaw nor any of
the forts defending the city have been
under Russian fire because the reds did
not have heavy guns at/the front.
Because of their rapid advance only
light gnus were being moved up with the
infantry.

shaken,” she declared.
Mrs. Catt is remaining away from the
cnpltol and her headquarters are open
to men and women who come to seek her
counsel.
She is letting the women of Tennessee
work out their own salvation, without
outside interference, and her course is
being widely approved, even among the
legislators opposed to suffrage.
“When I came to Tennessee three
weeks ago I announced that a majority
of both senate and house were pledged
to the Tennessee women of their own
districts to vote for ratification.
“No development has overturned that
majority!
“I have absolute confidence in the In
tegrity of the legislators of Tennessee
and believe they will stand by their
pledges to their own constituents.”
HAYS URGES
RATIFICATION
MARION, Aug. 11. —Following a con
ference here with Senator Warren G.
Harding, Will H. Hays dispatched a
long telegram to republican legislators
at Nashville In which he urged imme
diate ratification of suffrage as a meas
ure of simple Justice to American
women.
Asserting that “present unrest Is in
a large measure due to the fact that so
many vital questions are clamoring for
simultaneous decision,” Hays declared
that one of these was the suffrage ques
tion that “can be settled immediately by
the Tenner see legislature."
“I urge ratification, first, in the hope
of thereby ‘clearing the political atmos
phere; second, in the belief that the sup
pression of effective opinion works harm
to the whole body politic; and. finally,
in the conviction that we owe immediate
action as a simple measure of Justice to
American women."
Hays' conference with Senator Hard
ing lasted until nearly midnight.
Harry M. Daugherty, IlariHng's pre
convention manager and chief lieutenant,
was present at the conference for sev
eral hours.
It was understood that every phase of
the campaign was fully and thoroughly
discussed.
Hays Informed the waiting newspaper
men that “there has been no thought
of a change of plans relating to Senator
Harding's campaign," and “there is no
