HYTHE, England, August 9. The allied conference here reached a complete agreement this morning concerning the plans for dealing with the Kusso-I'olish crisis. The ajreeraent includes the reluiposltion of the blockade against Russia, but on advice of experts no allied troops will be employed. It is said that the allies, although loth to admit the 'act, feel that there Is little hope ra maining of saving Warsaw from tha Russian bolsheviki, and it ia also stated that saving Poland is not the main issue. The principal problem facing the premiers is defense of western Europe. In British and "ench circles it is declared that the lopes of the soviet government of Russia is to firmly establish bolshe im at the very doors of the western tnropean powers through the Polish offensive.

HI Ex-Service Man Says That the Farmer's Own Boys Prob ably Fired The Shots' LAW TO BE RECOURSE Former Soldier Says He Does Not Desire to Take the Iaw Into His Own Hands and Will Take Steps to Evict Squatter. Arthur V. Moore, an ex-service mull, who was recently awarded a piece of the O. C. grant- lands in the Perdue district, has made reply in iy,a lottar written tn the Douclas rmintv officers by Ross Stlltner, who claims that someone Is continually shooting at him. Stlltner is occupy ing the land owned by Moore. The letter from the former soldier Is as follows: Editor Roseburg News-Review. Dear Sir: After reading the article pumisnea In your paper on the 6th Inst., con taining the statements made by one Ross Stlltner, I feel the necessity of making a reply. He says his son was shot at, like wise himself. Both his boys are un der sixteen years of age, and both are permitted the unrestricted use of rifles ana ammunition oy m father. Could it not be possible ih.. u.fciia at hnrne nr out hunting together one boy Inadvertently shot his brother tnrougn tne trousers ik or carelessly sent a bullet past his father s hcadr The "imorovements" he Is bo de sirous of "selling" are a log hut (minus windows), a so-io-spea umu and perhaps a quarter of an acre of cultivated land. He moved on thli place In full knowledge of his status no annaiior nnrl nmreeded to tear down a better cabin than he erected and to wantonly fall a great numoer of trees (government property at the time), which he used In building his house and for fuel. He also sold part of this timber for firewood and that which he made no use of lies on the ground now, rotting. I am the ex-soldler who filed tin and obtained this homestead. I at once notified Mr. Stlltner that I would like possession as soon as con venient. He agreed to leave with his family by the last of July. This was allowing him nearly three months time. Instead of leaving he demands an exorbitant sum of money which I am In nowise able to pay. even if these "Improvements" were worth pnythlng to me, which they are not. In fact I consider his activities in the place, a detriment. Tha mhnntlnr ntnrv ! tOO aliSUrd to give credence to, as regards his tniniy conceaiea insinuation . who did It. I do not hunt and have never been near his cabin since fil ing. The steps that will be necessary to him bm twin taken bv law ihmiwl, Invfll channel, for I have not the slightest desire to take things in my own hands in such a oramawc though primitive fashion. I am a lnor-aHlrilna- citizen. IS anxlOUS tO know who (if anyone) shot at this snnatter and his son. In Justice to myself and your read ers will you not g've this reply th? same prominence In your paper ai yoi gave the article concerning Mr. Stlltner? Thank you. Very respectfully yours. ARTHUR V.

A VERY HIGH PRIVILEGE Areata Ylce-lh-eeidentlul Nomina. tion with Willi h to Give Country the Hot Tluit Is In illm. Confident of Support. (The AswH-lHted Presn.) HYDE PARK. N. Y., Aug. 9 The American people have paid a sfaggering penalty" for the Repuli liran victory at the polls in 1918. Homer S. Cummings declared here today In formally notifying Frank lin I). Roosevelt of his nomination as the democratic party's candidate for the vice-presidency. Cndisputed in the "material and moral leadership of the world" when the armistice was signed, he said, "who will deny thnt our title to that leadership has been griev ously impaired it not completely lost" "There has been no hojr since the November elections of 1918 dur ing which the American people have not paid a statggerlng penalty for the Republican triumph of that year. There is but one way out. There is but one clear path of duty. It is to redeem America's word to the world and to assume without hesitation our share of the task of rehabilitating the broken structure of cllllzatlon. "The democratic party is uncon querable In Its hold upon the truth that America belongs to the world and cannot serve herself while breaking faith with others. Such is our cause and our purpose. That you will hold high the standard wo place in your hands, we do not for a moment doubt. I accept the nomination for tile office of vice-presldeut with humliln ness and with a deep wiah to give to our beloved country the best that is in me. Xo one could receive a high er privilege or opportunity than t be thus associated with men and ideals which I am confident will soon receive the support of the majority of our citizens. In fact I could not conscientiously accept it if I had not come to know by the closest intimacy that he who is our selection for the presidency, and who is my chief and yours, is a man possessed of ideals which are also mine. He will give to America that kind of leadership which will make us respect him and bring fur ther greatness to our land. In Jam-.'s M. Cox I recognize one who can lend this nation forward in an unlialting merch of progress. Two great problems will confront the next administration: our rela tions with the world nnd the press ing need of organized progress at home. The latter includes a sys tematized betterment of our citizen ship. These matters will require tho guiding hand of a president who can see his country above his parly, and who, having a clear vision of thingj as they are, has alpo the indepen dence, courage and skill to guide us along the road to things as they should be without swerving one foot step at the dictation of narrow par tisans who whisper "Party" or of selfish interests who murmur "Profits." Much hns been said of late nhntit good Americanism. It is right that it should have been said, and it Is right that every chance should he seized to repeat the basic truths un derlying our prosperity and our na tional existence Itself. But It would be an unusual and much to be wished for thing if in the coming present tion of tha Issues a new note of fair ness and generosity could he struck. Littleness, meanness, falsehood, ex treme partizanshlp these aro not In accord with American spirit. I like to think that in this respect also we are moving forward. Let us be definite. We have passed through a great war an armed con flict which called fnrlh every effort en the part of the whole populntion. The war waR won by republicans as well as by democrats. Men of all parties served In our armed forces. Men and woman of nil parties served the government at home. They strlved honestly as Americans, not as mere partisans. Republicans and democrats alike worked In adminis trative positions. raised Liberty loans, administered food control, tolled In munition plants, built ships. The war was brought to a successful conclusion by a glorious common ef fort one which In years to come will be a national pride. I feel very certain that our children will come to regard our participation as mem orable for the broad honor and hon esty which marked It. for the absent ' , I a . 1 nf unfortunate scannai. ann n.r in I splendid unity of action which ex tended to every position oi me n tion. It would, therefore, not only serve little purpose, but would con-fo-m 111 to oil" high stnndards If any person should in the heat of political rivalry seek to manufacture political advantage out of a nationally con ducted struggle. We have seen things on too large a scale to listen in this duy to trifles, or to believe In I ho adequacy of trifling men. It is that same vision of the bigger outlook of national and individual life which will, I am sure, lead u t.i demand that the men who represent us in the affairs of our government shall be more than politicians or the errand boys of politicians that they shall subordinate always the in dividual ambition and party advant age to the national good. In the long run the true statesman and the hon estly forward looking party will pre vail. Even as the Xatlon entered the war for an Ideal, so It has emerged from the war with the determina tion that the Ideal, shall not die. It Is Idle to pretend that the War declaration of April t'.th, 1917. was a mere act of self-defense, or that the object of our participation was solely to deifeat the military power of the Central Nations of Europe. e knew them as a nation, even as we know today, that success on land and sea conld be but half a victory. Tho other half Is not won yet. To the crv of the French at Verdun: Thy shall not pass'; the cheer of our own men In the Argonne: "We shall go through" we must add this 'It Bhall not occur again". This is the poslt've declaration of our own wills; that the world shall bo saved from a repetition of tb's crime. To this end the democratic party offers a Treaty of Peace, which, to make it a real treaty for a real peace VCST Include a Leacue of Nations: because this peace treity. If our best and bravest are not to have died in vain, must be no thinly disguised armistice devised by cynical states men to mask their preparations for a renewal of greed-inspired con quests later on. It is a particular pleasure to know that if we are sustained by the peo ple in the election, the country will have as its chief executive a man who has already amply established his reputation as a successful ad miuistator by the reorganization f (he business methods of a groat state. He Is an engineer-statesman. The t-k before the National Gov ernment, can also be assisted by a sympathetic co-operation between the executive and the legislative branches, and In this work partisan ship must not enter.- In the consideration of the neoda of the country and. the conduct of. its affnlrs I like to Owen particu larly on that part of Lincolns im mortal phrase which speaks of "Government for the People". Ser vice on the part cA' men and women In the Government is not enough; it must be unselfish Bervico. it must bo servco with sufficient breadth of view to include the needs and con ditions of every kind of citizens, of every section of the land. Such a body of workers would make Impos sible a return to the conditions of twenty years ago when men in tne halis df Congress and In the exe cutive branches almost openly re presented special interests or con sidered the obtaining of appropria tions for their own localities as of more weight than the welfare of the United States as a whole. Such a spirit of unselfishness would pre vent also tho formation of cliques or olegarchies In the Senate for tha retarding Cf public business. America's opportunity Is at hand. We can lead the world by a great example, wo can prove this nation a living, growing thing, with poli cies that are adequate to new eonili- tons. In a thousand wsys mis is our hoar of test. The democratic nrogram offers a larger life for our country, a richer destiny for our people. It is a plan ot nope. The coming years are laden with significance, and much will depend on the Immediate decision of Ame rica. This Is the time wnen men and women must determine for themselves wherein our future lies. I look to it (for progress. In tho cctntbllshment of good will and mu tual help among nations. In the ending of wars and the miseries thnt wars bring. In the extension of honorable commerce. In the Interna tional settlement which will mako it unnecessary to send again two million of our men across the sea. I look to our future for progress; In better citizenstln. in less waste. In fairer renumeration for our labor. In more efficient governing, In higher standards ilf living. To this future I dedicated myself, willing, whatever may be the choice of the people, to contlnuo to help as best as I am able. H Is the faith which is in mo that makes me very certain that America will choose tho path of progress and set aside tho doctrines of despair, the whisper ings of cowardice, the narrow road to yesterday. Vay the fluldlng Spi rit of our land keep our feet on the broad road that leads to a better tomorrow and give to us strength to carry on. Building Collapses Chinese Injured (The Associated Press.)

"Thn federal government sim ply wants better hotel accommoda tions there for the thousands ot tourists, and if Mr. PnrkhurHt fails to provide suitably for tho tourists the government will take necessary steps to see that proper provision is macle. I have no desire to take ac tion toward having Mr. I'arkhurst s contract revoked. I realize that ho pioneered there and Is entitled to a Just f 1 lie ti'litl return.

I seems to me that the people off i Portland should join hands with jfhoie of southern Oregon toward I bringing about a betterment of cou- ditlona. It Is a situation' which culls lor Immediate uctlou, and un less assurance a. given that decent accommodations aro given the people ot Oregon will find a decided slump next season In tourist travel to Cra ter lake. "I have recently learned that President Sproulo ot the Southern Pacific has given out li.struct.outi that no more of the advertising ot his railroad company shall contatu anything about Crater Lake nation al park. This was done Indepen dently of anything I have done, but because people have complained to htm of the treatment now accorded them at Crater Lake."

The coroner left at once for the scene of the accident aul brought the body to mis city, t apers louud on the body of the young man show his home to be In Cottage Grove, where his parents reside. He was enroute from that city to Sutherlin on train .No. 13 and was to visit with relat ives iu the Douglas county town. It is presumed by those who made an Inspection as to the causes of the horrible accident that he was riding the "blind baggage" on train No. 13 which arrives in Sutherlin at about 4 o'clock In the morning. Owing to the fuct thnt the train does not stop there, ho evidently attempted to alight while the train was lu mo tion. The terrific speed of the mov ing cars probably threw him be neath the wheels, where be was ground to death.

The body of the un fortunate hoy was found 30 feet distance from his lowor limbs which had boon severed by the car wheels, -uid was lying In the center of the track. From the appearance of the mass of human wreckage. It gave evidence of having been dragged a considerable distance.
