ANNIVERSARY REMEMBERED.
Legion Head Cables Greetings to Brit
ish Officers on Entry to World War.
New York, Aug., 5. Greetings on
the sixth anniversary of Great Brit
ain's entry into the World war was
yesterday cabled to Field Marshall Earl
Haig and Admiral Sir David Beatty
by Franklin D'Olier, national comman
der of the American Legion.
"Honor to the statesmen who had
the courage to assume the responsibili
ty, of that decision," read the mes
sage. "Honor to the British millions,
who, with valor unsurpassed and hearts
of oak, executed that decision on Brit
ain's many fronts. When we contem
plate what would have been the state
of affairs in the world to-day had not
Britain acted as she did, and when
she did the trials and difficulties of
the present hour, however, vexatious
they may seem now to be, sink into
comparative insignificance.
"United States forces have had the
privilege of service on land and sea
under British high command. The
memories of the associations of those
great days will never perish. They will
perpetuate themselves in our hearts
and thus serve to perpetuate the indis
soluble friendship of the British and
American peoples."

Warsaw, Aug. 5, 1:30 o'clock a. m.
(By the Associated Press!. Russian
soviet armies driving against the Pol
ish lines defending Warsaw are main
taining an , average progress of six
wiles a day in the direction of this
city.
They are being held in the south,
however, and in some places are being
pushed back from the districts east of
Lemberg, which is one of the objec
tives of their present campaign.
.' To-day's official statement issued at
general' staff heanquarters declares the
Poles have re-taken the town of Brody,
near the. Galictan frontier,-and have
orced the bolsheviki back into Run-
ftia in the region of Radxivolv, north
east of Brody.
American aviators fighting with the
Kosciusko squadron are battling
gainst General Budenny's cavalry and
' infantry along the Sereth river, where
the soviet forces have not made any
headway. Parts of this squadron were
engaged all day yesterday near Mik
licze, where they met cossacks and' bol
sheviki infantry. The losses suffered by
the enemy in this district were very
heavy, to-day's official statement say
ing 1.600 bolsheviki were killed and
large number were wounded.
Poland strained every ounce of her
reserve powpr yesterday to checkmate
the bolsheviki in the game on the
result of which depends the fate of the
Dew republic. Men in whose hands
rests the destiny of Poland assembled
at various conferences throughout the
day, and taking a leading role in all
decisions were the British, French and
Italian missions.
Munitions recently unloaded at Dan
rig by the British were arriving during
the day, and tanks rifles and artil
lery from France were rushed to
iht front. French officers are arriv
ing daily to act at techniiwl advisers
;, Polish general headquarters in the
preparations for Warsaw's final stand
gainst the invaders.
There was no let up in the fighting,
particularly along the northeastern
and eastern sectors, where the soviet
forces were gradually aiming toward
Warsaw. Negotiations for an armi
stice seem to have stimulated the bol
sheviki, who, with the exchange of
Botes between the Warsaw and Moscow
governments, began their drive with
Dew vigor.

policy giving self-government to the
people of that island, says the London
Times in reporting the meeting. The

in its denunication of the government's
Irish crimes bill, and was strongly. op
posed to any scheme for the partition
of the island, Fiscal autonomy was
demanded.
Captain Harrison, secretary of the
Irish dominion league, submitted on
behalf of the delegation of a scheme
based upon recognition of the nomi
nation statutes of Ireland, followed by
the inauguration of a constituent as
sembly elected by a yem of propor
tional representation on a wide dem
ocratic franchise. He also suggested
the six counties of Ulster should be
entitled after consultation, to vote
themselves out on an all-Ireland
scheme, subject to the right of the i
rest of Ireland to withdraw any con
cessions offered by a majority of the
lrih people for the purpose of securing
the adhesion of Ulster.
Harding Also Sends Mess
age ,of Encouragement
to Mrs. Catt
Marion, 0., Aug. 5. Further influ

frage amendment by the Tennessee
legislature was exerted to-day by Sen

mittee, the nominee wired as follows:
"With the approach of a decision by
the general assembly o Tennessee on
the matter of ratifying of the suf
frage amendment to the federal consti
tution I would like to be advised as
to poll of Republican members. I cling
to the belief that the Tennessee Re
publicans are in a position to serve
both party and country bv effecting
ratification. Will welcome advice as
to whether I can aid in securing this
net of justice to the women citizen
ship of our nation."
He also sent a telegram of encour
agement to Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt,
president of the National American
Woman Suffrage association, in re
sponse to a joint appeal from
her and Mrs. George Fort Milton,
president of the Tennessee league of
women voters. The message to .Mrs.
Cate follows:.
"Your telegram received. No dis
couragement is voiced from here. On
the contrary, we are continuing to en
courage the Republicans of the Ten
nessee general assembly, to join cordi
ally in the effort to consummate rati
fication."
henator Watson of Indiana, who
came to Marion yesterday to see the
nominee, issued a statement to-day de
claring that George White's selection
p.s Democratic national chairman had
helped cement President Wilson's hold
on the Democratic nrgsnization.
"Mr. White is himself Princeton
graduate," said the atstement. "I have
often talked with him about the presi
dent, his admiration for whom he has
made no secret. Mr. White's selection
was no compromise at all because Tres
ident Wilson wins at all points."
PONZTS CREDITORS
NOT SO NERVOUS
Only A Small Line of Note Holders
Appeared Before His Boston
Offices To-day.
' Boston, Arg. 5. Hardly more than
half a hundred of holders of Charles
Ponr.i's notes, calling for 60 per cent
interest in 90 days, had appeared in Pi
Alley to-day at the hour for re-open
ing the offices of the Securities Ex
change company. In addition to this
evidence that the run, which began
10 days ago, 'was virtually over, there
was noted a marked unwillingness on
the part of noteholders to deal with
speculators seeking to buy their claims
at a discount.
In .the early days of the run specu
lators bought hundreds of notes, us
ually at a 10 per cent discount, and
t hen took their place in line and cashed
them in. One speculator claimed to
have made a profit of $14,000 in a sin
gle day.

safe, which was stolen from the Levin
men's and women's clothing and fur
nishing store early on the morning of

BABBITT FILES
' FOR GOVERNOR
He Is the First of The Candidates to
Meet with Law's Re
quirements. F. H. Babbitt of Bellows Falls is
the first candidate for governor to file
his -primary petitions with the secre
tary of state. He filed over 1500.
Some of the otljer candidates have
filed a part of their petitions, but not
enough to make a statement about
vet.
Attorney General Frank C. Archibald
was in the secretary's office yesterdsy
and obtained blanks. He had almost
forgotten that the date for filing was
so close as it is; therefore, a little
hurry will take place in the work. Mr.
Archibald seems to have no 'opposi
tion to a re-election.
When It Landed on a High Voltage
Wire in Berlin.
Power company offioials blame a
wisp of hay for putting their system
out of business this morning, and the
explanation is made in the following
way: About 1:05 this morning an in
terruption occurred on a -33,000 volt
line, which transmits about 3,000 kilo
wats into Barre and about 500 kilo
wats into Montpelier.
' On learning the difficulty the load
dispatcher at the Pioneer station imme
diately communicated this trouble to
the superintendent, who had men test
ing on this line at 2:05 a. m. The trou
ble was finally located on the Libby
farm, between West Berlin and North
'field, whore it was found that one wire
was burned off and two sets of insu
lators were, broken, causing a short
! circuit on the line.
It seems that Mr. Libby was haying
yesterday afternoondirectly under this
line, when a small-sized cyclone blew
some hay up on the line. It is thought
that Borne of the hay stayed on the
wire and became wet during the night
because of fog, causing a short circuit
and the trouble as stated above. At
5:50 this morning that line was cleared
and repaired and test made.
Mr. Libby said that he did not think
the insulators or wires were damaged,
so he did not report the incident to
the company.
When that trouble was repaired it
was found there still was difficulty
with the line. This later trouble was
located, on the Wesley Child farm in
Middlesex, where it was found two
sets of insulators were shattered. This
trouble was remedied and the line was
placed in operation at 9:40 o'clock a.
m.
This line being out of service made
it necessary to shut down part of the
load in Barre. The company feqls that
the cause of this interruption was be
yond it control and did everything
possible to get the line back into serv
ice.

car, in which they were riding. went
over a 30-foot embankment dn to
the White river near the Willis How
ard farm, about a half-mile north
of Hartford, at 4 o'clock Wednesday
afternoon.
Mr. Raymond, who was driving, was
unable to tell just what caused the ac
cident, but thought that something
happened to the steering gear, which
caused the car to swerve to the side
of the road, and slide over the bank,
turning over three times as it fell, and
landing at the very edge of the White
river. Mr. Raymond was thrown out
of the car and only slightly bruised by
the fall, but Mrs. Raymond and the
baby were pinned underneath, and it
was impossible to re!eae them until
help came to lift the machine. The.
baby's, chest was crushed and death
was practically instantaneous. Mrs.
Raymond received a deep gash over one
eye, was severely bruised and, it is
feared, that she sustained internal in-

Raymond, at White River Junction,
where medical aid was rendered, and
