In spite of the bolshevik successes, military experts of the Anglo-French mission in Poland were reported op timistic, becaube of the stiffening in the resistance of the Polish northern army. The expert's chief difficulty was the position of the Polish fourth army, defending Brest Litovsk, but Polisn advices declared pressure on that army would bo relieved shortly by the Polish counter offensive being di rected northeast from .Brody, north east of Lemberg. Shlpa Reported Arriving. Many ehips were reported arriving at Danzig from French and British ports with munitions which were be ing rushed to the Polish front, ac cording to the word received here.

Polish armistice emissaries have been instructed not to concede any points that might endanger Polands independence, according to an inter view with Vice-Premier DaszynskL It had been intimated that the soviet would insist upon the establishment of a soviet government in Poland be fore granting an armistice. Instruction to the Polish delegates ordered them to hold out against any clauses which might provide for the disarmament of Poland. Regarding the national frontier, the delegates were instructed not to concede any conditions changing Premier Lloyd George's line of demarkation.

He said that just after the first four cars passed over the bridge leading from one front to the other, the bridge caught fire. The three remaining cars were delayed, but suc ceeded in catching up with the party. Many Americans here have shipped their effects to Danzig, Posen or Prague in anticipation of an attack by the bolsheviki. Many women workers with American organizations as well as wives of American offi cials have left. Warsaw was brought Into closer contact with the front today by ar rival, in a shattered condition, of a women's battalion which fought to defend Vilna. The battalion suffered heavy losses and is being reorganized. Mass has been held in memory of those who fell defending Vilna.

LEGIONNAIRES AT BEACH PITIOTECHXICS AT SEASIDE MARK COXVEXIIOX END. Veterans Again Advance on 'Enemy Trenches,' Using Spectacular Devices in 'Fighting.' SEASIDE, Or., Aug. 1. (Special.) Hundreds of legionnaires gathered at Seaside today for the concluding en tertainment features of the second annual convention, wnich closed its business session in Astoria last nighr. The most elaborate and spectacular fireworks display ever held here was the Battle of the Argonne, in which 60 world-war veterans of Clatsop post in Astoria participated. About 2500 , persons witnessed the spectac ular .exhibition, which was directed by Louis J. Witt of Elmar J. Noble post of Seattle, a war veteran, who was wounded in the Argonne, and Harry J. Katey of Clatsop post. Through the dense unaergrowtn oi Cartwright Dark the veterans ad-1 vanced on enemy trences, "mopping up" as they went and using all varie ties of offensive weapons, including machine guns, grenades, rifles and trench mortars. Various lights flared and star shells revealed the battle field in their peculiar white glare. Even a tank participated, a tank which in everyday life was a farm tractor. A concert by the Fifth Oregon band and daylight fireworks preceded the battle scene. It .was followed by fire works including rockets, wheels, bombs and elaborate set pieces em bodying the American Legion em blem, the bombardment of Zeebrugge Mole and the allied flags. t The ex-service men left Astoria at 9 o'clock this morning on their special train for Seaside. At noon they had a clam chowder feast given by the residents of Seaside under the direc tion of the Breakwater association and the Women's club. E. N. Hurd, mayor of Seaside, was in charge of the arrangements and was assisted by C. M. Evans and S. Snyder. Dedication of a tablet of bronze, bearing the names of 45 Seaside vet erans who died in the world war. was held in the morning in front of the city hall. The tablet is on a pillar of the hall. A baseball game was played in the afternoon between the Astoria Cen tennials and Portland Cendors. The special train left for Portland at 11 o'clock tonight. creased freight rates would lead no where if the boost simply resulted in the curtailment of shipments. "As far as lumber shipments are concerned the commission expects the carriers to fix the rates on eastern shipments so as not to disturb the equilibrium of the traffic. The per centage of increase granted on rates to eastern points is not arbitrary. In my opinion adjustment will follow im mediately after the increase is in ef fect and the most equitable differen tial will be established." As far as export shipments from the east via Portland are concerned the carriers will see to it that this trade is not diverted to water routes, in the opinion of Mr. Teal. While ex isting differentials on export ship ments may not be retained in the same ratio, he said, an equitable ar rangement probably will be reached immediately whereby this traffic will not suffer. fflR FEARED 111 IRELAND S1XX EEIX CLEAR COUNTRY OF BARRACKS FOR BR1TOXS.

RISE HELD T PORTLAND SHIPPERS TAKE OPTIMISTIC VIEWPOINT. Freight Rate Increase Not Neces sarily or Bad Effect, Say Transportation Men. Portland shippers and transport tion men are speculating, as to the probable effect of the billion and half dollar increase .in freight rates recently granted to the railroads by the interstate commerce commission. While information regarding the ap portionment of the increase is not yet complete, the general attitude is ap parently one of optimism. J. N. Teal, who appeared before the interstate commerce commission at its hearing at Washington as attorney for the Portland Traffic and Trans portation association and the West Coast Lumbermen's association, be lieves that the proposed increase, while it would necessarily constitute a disturbing element in shipping prob lems at first, would probably be as similated 'very shortly without seri ous effects to shipping in general and to lumber shipments in particular. In my opinion the present inirease ia more or less of an emergency measure granted to afford immediate relief to the carriers." said Mr. Teal. It is intended. I believe, that the pres ent order will be supplemented with further orders from the commission which will tend to facilitate the ap plication of the increase. The rail roads themselves will probably use every effort to equalize the burden so that the Increase will affect shipments as little as possible. "Naturally, the commission did not Intend that the Increase should Inter fere with business, and the railroads are equally as anxious to meet the situation from the same angle, since the welfare of the railroads and of the producers go hand In hand. The in- Mcxican Federal Customs Office Reported Seized by Troops of Governor Cantu. SAN DIEGO. Aug. 1. Ensenada. a port of Lower California, S5 miles south of here, tonight was preparing for the expected invasion of the de la Huerta forces, said to be proceeding from Mazatlan and Manzanillo, ac cording to reports brought here today by passengers on the motorship Gryme. These passengers reported that the Mexican federal customs office, of wmch A.

Clark, treasurer of the Northern Pacific railroad since 1897. died of pneumonia today at a hospital where he had undergone an operation for stomach trouble. Previous to going to the Northern Pacific In 1S82 he had been connected with the Denver & Rio Grande. Tremendous possibilities exist for Pacific coast trade expansion into the British Malay peninsula, an expan sion which Portland and Oregon manufacturers can participate in if they will, according to George L. Logan, of the American consulate general at Singapore. Mr. Logan, who has been stationed for the last two years as consul at Penang. Straits settlements, arrived ir Portland yesterday and is stop ping at the Multnomah hotel. He will speak today before the members forum of the Portland Chamber of Commerce and will also establish his exhibit in the bureau of foreign commerce in the Oregon building. This exhibit will be displayed for several days, with Mr. Logan in at tendance to issue data to business men who are interested in trade re lations with the Malay peninsula. Mack Travel Done In Far Bait. Mr. Logan has had 12 years' ex perience in the far east, has traveled extensively in those countries, and has a wide knowledge of their trade possibilities, products, requirements and customs. His articles on foreign trade problems in the orient have been widely published in the United States and republished Dy the foreign press. Although Mr. Logan's home is just United States, at present his family resides in Berkeley, Cal., where he will go within a few days. On his way home on leave. Mr. Logan visited Indo-China, the Philip pines. China and Japan. He has brought with him a considerable ex hibit of the products of the Malay peninsula and a large amount of data that should be useful to Portland merchants and manufacturers inter ested in that trade territory, several of whom have been in correspondence with his consulate. Products Are Discussed- The Malay peninsula, which looks ery small on our school maps," said Mr. Logan, "Is the world's chief source of supply for rubber and tin and a large producer of copra, tapi oca, patchouli, gums, pepper and spices. The most important ports are Singapore and Penang. where the United States government maintains onsulates, but Kuala Lumpur ana poh are important and up-to-date commercial cities. British and Chinese commercial in terests predominate, although there has been recently a considerable in crease in American investments and enterprises. More than 50 American concerns have branches or offices in Singapore. 'A large part of the tin and rubber is exported to the United States and entered at Pacific ports for shipment to the east coast, which suggests the thought that manufacturers requiring uch products ought to find the Pa cific coast a suitable location for their factories, in view of your wonderful climate and other natural advantages and the fact that a large proportion of their finished products goes to ori ental markets. Factory Plana Are Afoot. "It is encouraging to know that plans are developing and being car ried out for the establishment of such factories, which will have far- reaching effects in increasing the importance of our western ports and their respective territories. We have been too long a one-sided country, regardless of the fact that whatever enhances the prosperity of one sec tion benefits all. I was glad to read that local en terprise has developed plans for the establishment of a large vegetable oil mill at Linnton. Although great quantities of copra are produced on the Malay peninsula, the vegetable oil industry is in its infancy there and the copra is exported almost en- entirely to European markets. Speaking of the market for Ameri can goods in his district, Mr. Logan said: "Practically all foodstuffs are imported, mainly from the United States and Australia. Canned fruits, fish, vegetables and milk are bought principally in the American market and Pacific coast products in those lines have a large sale there. Some business is beginning to develop Oregon pine lumber, and there ought to be a demand for portable houses, railway ties and other timbers if they can be made immune to the ravages of white ants. A large area of jungle land is being brought under rubber cultivation, and a considerable mar ket has sprung up since the war re strictions on such development were removed for tractors, portable saw mill outfits, drag saws, stump pullers and other equipment suitable to such work. Many Autoa Are American. "There are more than 3000 miles of first-class highway on the penin sula and approximately 12,000 motor cars, mostly American, are in use. The agent for a certain American car told me that he is more than 2000 cars behind on his deliveries. Motor trucks are coming into gen eral use and with motor buses and jitneys are competing with the rail ways for freight and passenger traf fic There is a large demand for American cotton goods and a limited call for woolens. Construction work of all kinds, private and govern mental, was practically suspended during the war but is now being re sumed vigorously, and there is a good demand for building materials of all kinds. Several estates have light railway service for handling their products and it is probable that business can be- developed in that line. "The number of cargo-carrying ves sels flying the American flag has greatly increased in those waters and they are welcome visitors at many ports. There is till a lack of sufficient passenger-carrying vessels and in many instances merchants who would have come to the United States via the Pacific on business missions have been compelled to go to or through Europe instead. Shipping; Increase la Laaded. "1 was glad to read recently that several passenger-carrying vessels of the shipping board fleet will be placed in those waters in . the near future, sailing from Pacific ports. "Were I competent to do . so, it would not he appropriate for me to discuss questions of political policy, especially at this time, but as Amer icans we are all Interested in: Ex panding our legitimate trade, in dustry and Interests, not to the detri ment or exclusion of others, but to our joint benefit: developing more efficient means of communication and Rebels Turn to Country Houses Where Troops May Be Housed; . 8 0,00 Soldiers in Isle. DUBLIN. July 31. Fears that the Irish situation majr burst into a gen eral conflagration at any moment are expressed here. There is virtu ally no civil law south of the Boyne river except that administerft by re publican courts, but it is pointed out that each day finds the balance be tween military and revolutionary rule more equal. It is estimated there are between 60.000 and 80,000 British soldiers in Ireland and they are being rein forced daily. As a result there are more frequent and more stubborn battles between troops and repub lican volunteers, who for a time had things much their own way. There have also been more arrests for car rying arms and seditious literature. Reprisals by policemen and soldiers on villages suspected of harboring men responsible for attacks against the armed forces are expected here. In the meantime the Sinn Feiners have virtually cleared the country of barracks. They are now turning their attention to country houses where military forces might be housed. ' QUEENSTOWN, Ireland.

July 31. Evil conditions confronting the world are outlined in a letter issued to the church by Pope Benedict today. The letter's purpose is to proclaim the fifteenth anniversary of the decree by which St. Joseph was named patron of the universal church and in it the pontiff urges the Catholic world to celebrate for a whole year from December. "When the end of the war came," says the letter, "the minds of men were exasperated by the length and bitterness of the conflict and aggra vated by famine on one side and ac cumulated riches in the hands of a few on the other. The' war brought about two evils diminution of con jugal fidelity and dimunition of re spect for constituted authority. Li centious habits followed, even among young women, and there arose the fatal doctrine of communism with the absolute destruction of dutiful relations between nations and be tween fathers and children. Terrible consequences have already been experienced." FOR the .
