Anpport From "France and Great
" Britain Now Believed Too Late
to Do Any Good.
WASHINGTON. July 2. Without
official information regarding the de
cision of the allied powers to furnish
military aid to Poland in her strug
gle with the bolsheviki. government
officials refrained today from formal
expression of opinion, but unofficially
professed to see it the new situation
most of the elements of a Kuropean
war on a broad scale.
Army officers and officials of the
etate department generally were
frankly pessimistic as to the ability
of France and ureal Britain to place
armies in Poland in time to check the
Russian advance before Warsaw falls
and many were skeptical of the power
of either France or Great Britain to
drive their war-weary people Into the
struggle without a serious unbalanc
ing of domestic affairs.
German Factions Tu.
Although technically the president
Etill is endowed with the specially
conferred war powers, there was no
disposition in official circles to as
sume that he would Involve the
United States in a war between the
bolsheviki and the allies, unless
action might be Justified by some
overt act against the army of occu
pation on tha Rhine. Reports to the
state department indicate increasing
tenseness between the conservative
and pro-radical groups in Germany,
and it was generally believed that,
unless the radical element gained the
ascendancy, the chances of the United
States becoming involved were slight,
although a suggestion of American
co-operation with France and Great
Britain was regarded as probable.
For the present, it was Indicated at
the state department, the part o. the
United States will be that of an in
terested observer. " Steps already
have been taken to remove from the
war area such Amricans as may wish
to leave.
Promise of Support Elates.
Polish representatives who con
ferred with officials of the state de
partment were elated by the news
that Great Britain and France had
promised support. They expressed
the opinion that the mere announce
ment would go far toward strength
ening the morale of their govern
ment and army and that it might
even be possible with sufficient am
munition, artillery and other sup
plies to hold the Russians in check.
Their optimism, however, was not
shared by some of the experts who
have been watching the operations of
the two forces, but it was admitted
hope of an adjustment yet remained
In the suggestion of an armistice
made to Poland by British govern
ment officials.

ROAD
Camas,
PROTEST VOICED
Wash., Dissatisfied With
Progress on 'orth Bank Highway
VANCOUVER, Wash., July 22.-
(Special.) The North Bank highway
is being paved this year, but the
progress has not been satisfactory to
the residents of Camas as it makes
more aitricult to reach the city over
the detours. However, arrangements
were made today with the state high
way commission to start a night crew
on this road at once.
This will assist materially in the
completion of the road before the fall
rains set in, which usually stop work
until the next spring. It is the earnest
desire of all concerned that the road
from Vancouver and Camas and
Washougal be paved this fall. It
the most used road in the county
next to the Pacific highway. Severa
miles are already paved.
AID IS PROMISED TO POLES
Allies to Give Support in Case or
Necessity.
TV-XRIS. July 22. The allies have
decided to take measures preparatory
to giving military aid to Poland if
that should prove necessary, it was
learned today.
A French mission headed by Jules
J. Jusserand. French ambassador to
the United States, who is home on
Uave, will leave tonight for Warsaw
to arrange for prompt succor to the
Poles.
On the same train and with the
sar.ie object there will be a British
mission headed by Lord Abernon
British ambassador at Berlin.
These missions, it is learned, leave
with full authority to say to the
Poles that whatever aid is needed
whether military or financial or in
the nature of supplies, will be forth
coming if the bolsheviki persist in a
dezinn to march into distinctively
Polish territory. s
It is stated unofficially but on high
authority that this means help for
l oland in the form of troops if they
are required.
Already a large number of allied
officers and subalterns are with th1?
I'oMsh army, which, it is declared,
w'.ii be increased according to cir
cumstances with as many divisions
of infantry, tank detachments, air
forces and artillery as may be trans
ported in due time.

Witness in Pettibone Murder Trial
Relates Incident at Tea Party
Where Husband Was Accused.
RUTLAND, Vt.. July 22. (Special.)
Kvldence to show that Mrs. Eva
FctUboi'ie made a direct accusation
in the presence of at least two per
sons that her husband was attempt
ing to poison her, was introduced
today in Bennington county court at
Manchester by the prosecution in the
tase of Byron M. Pettibone of Ben
nington, undertaker's assistant, aged
3b, who is facing a Jury under in
dictment for murder in the first
degree as the result of the death of
hk wife last April.
The star witness placed upon the
stand by Attorney-General Archibald
and his associates, was Mrs. Bessie
Wright of Bennington, whose testi
mony had to do with a tea party.
Mrs. Wright stated that on the
Sunday night previous to Efa Petti
bone's death, she was at luncheon
at the Pettibones' home. The hostess
relused to partake oftea made by
her husband, saying after sipping it
that it tasted bitter and declaring to
Pettibone, "You are trying to poison
me."
The counsel for defense in an hour's
cross-examination was only able to
shew that Mrs. Wright was unable
to remember anything else that oc
curred on the night of the party ex
cept the tea episode. Mrs. Wright
will be called to the stand again,
bringing her diary.
Eugene Rice, a boarder at Petti
bone's, testified yesterday as to the
cup of tea, but did not charge Mrs.
Pettibone of directly accusing her
husband of attempting to take her
life. Dr. Bingham H. Stone, director
of the Vermont state laboratory at
Burlington, where a chemical analysis
of Mrs. Pettibone's organs was made,
told the jury that in his opinion
death was caused by strychnine
poisoning. He admitted that some of
the symptoms of this were lacking,
but said that embalming might de
stroy them. His assistant. Dr. C. K.
Whitney, will tell in detail of the
analysis.
The Jury, heard from the lips of
Dr. Erwln Gardiner of Bennington,
the Pettibone family physician, of
the agony in which the wife of the
accused murderer died 15 minutes
after the doctor was called and found
her In convulsions on the night of
April 6. Although he gave strych
nine poisoning as the cause of death,
he said that he was not convinced of
this until he learned the result of
examination of the stomach contents.
Pettibone continues to maintain
his composure as the state builds up
step by step the foundation for its
claim that he deliberately poisoned
his wrfe to get her out of the way
because of his infatuation for Miss
Helen L. Guillow, a nurse whom it is
said . he frequently courted while
riding on a hearse.

Kentucky Man Dies Assuring His
Wife That at End of Three
Months He Will Arise.
LEXINGTON, Ky.. July - 22. (Spe
cial.) Hundreds of Holy Rollers in
Garrard and neighboring Kentucky
counties are bitterly disappointed to
night. Andrew Singleton, until three
months ago one of their most depend
able members, has failed to keep his
word. It -possibly was not Single
ton's fault, but that will never be
known for certain.
Three months ago Singleton died.
Before his demie he called his wife
and imparted to ner the news of his
impending death and told her he was
coming back. He exacted a promise
fnpm Mrs. Singleton, with other Holy
Rollers standing more or less awe
stricken nearby, that she would, as
soon as three months had expired,
have his body exhumed from the
Ramsey burying gronnd. This done,
the dying man told his wife and the
other Rollers that he would arise
from his coffin and walk.
The three months rolled by and
Mrs. Singleton kept her word. All
Holy Rollers within a wide area and
all who could get to the cemetery
were on time. Husky members plied
shovel and pick. The cornn was
finally revealed. There certainly was
no sign of life. The coffin is said
to have been opened. Singleton's
body was in such condition that there
.was never a chance that it would
walk, in fact, it is said, there was
not much left of what had been
Singleton. Anyway, he didn't walk.
He made no sign whatever.
The Holy Rollers had clustered
about the grave and when they saw
