WASHINGTON, Aug. S. (Special.)
In the absence of other issues, the
democrats and republicans are jawing
at each other a good deal about cam
paign contributions and other aspects
of money. Thoughtful persons must
wish that the candidates would dis
cover something more vital to talk
about. The truth is, no vital issues
have developed and neither of the
candidates has developed a vital per
sonality. I suspect that neither of them is
going to develop any personality
that the American public will regard
as vital. Neither of them has it in
him to satisfy the present American
appetite for personality. v
We have grown accustomed to
strong personalities in this country.
; For 20 years there have been three
men with the capacity to attract
votes from one party to the other. All
of these three, Roosevelt, Wilson and
Bryan, are politically out of things.
Personality Is Not Denied.
No one could deny the personality
of these men. You might not like the
kind of personality. . But the quality
of it you had to concede. The pass
ing of these men is the passing of an
era. We are back Into the last cen
tury. In Harding we are back to
McKinley, Garfield and Rutherford B.
Hayes. For Cox we have precedent
among the presidents. Cox is a smart
fellow, bent on success, financial, po
litical and otherwise.
However, for 'adequate judgment
concerning . the personalities or the
two candidates we must wait until
there is more time for reflection. For
the present the public need only be
warned to wait until the time for

Elevator Service in Downtown Dis
trict Interrupted and Work
ers Are Delayed. -
Two 11,000-volt Portland Railway,
Light & Power company wires broke
down at Crosby street and Holladay
avenue at 4:46 P. M. yesterday, -with
the result that street cars all over
the city were tied up for from an hour
to an hour and a half, elevator serv
ice in the business district was
stopped and practically all activities
dependent on electric power came to
standstill. Electric lights In the
business district were kept burning
from a big storage battery at Broad
way and Alder street.
The break caused more trouble at
Vancouver avenua and Killingsworth
street, burned out the underground
cable at Broadway and Alder street
and several switches. The trouble
was so -widespread that repair men
were unable to get everything in
shape again until 6:33 P.VM., although
most districts of the city were sup
plied with power before that time.
The trouble occurred just in time to
delay the big crowds of homeward-
bound workers. The streets down
town were crowded with pedestrians
waiting for cars. The cars themselves
had stopped wherever they happened
to be.
One of the worst traffic jams Port
land ever experienced resulted.
Traffic policemen were taken, from
their stations in the downtown district
and put on duty on the bridges to
guide traffic. On the Hawthorne
bridge cars were lined up from one
end to the other.
The Sellwood car line, east of the
river, was the first to get going. It
went Into operation again at B:27
P. M. The others resumed shortly
after.

report that the Polish government
as fled the Posen and that the soviet
forces are only 40 kilometers from
Warsaw is printed in the Johannis
berger Zeitung today. The report il
said to have emanated from Warsaw.
Tlve Warsaw correspondent of the
paper says that the fall of Warsaw Is
imlnent; that the bolshiviki are still
advancing and that it is believed they
have cut off the escape of the Polish
roops into the Polish corridor.
BERLIN. Aug. 6. The Polish de
fense behind the river Pissa has col
lapsed and advance guards of the red
army have succeeded In advancing to
the Rosaga river, southwest of Ortels-
burg, says sayes a dispatch from
Koenigsburg (Bast Prussia) to the
Allegemeine Zeitung.
The Poles are reported actively en
trenching themselves about Mlava (70
miles northwest of Warsaw) and the
Ostrolenka-Ostrow sector (northeast
of Warsaw) is the scene of heavy
fighting. The Bug river has been
reached by the Russians along the en
tire front and at several points their
patrols have crossed it.
Further Retreat Imminent.
The dispatch says indications are
that the Poles intend to retreat to the
inc of the Vistula river.
There are suspicions, says the Koen
igsburg correspondent, that the bol
shevik! have released numerous for
mer German war prisoners across the
border for propaganda purposes.
PARIS, Aug. 6. (By' the Associated
Press.) The fate of Warsaw still
hangs in the balance.
Fresh Onslaught Expected.
The latest news reaching Paris to-
right, which was somewhat sparse,
indicates that the bolsheviki are mak
ing little progress, that the impulse
which carried them forward continu
ously the last week has spent itself,
but that they apparently are gather
ing force for a fresh onslaught.
Military observers here cherish the
hope that the situation may yet be
saved.
"The situation of the Polish army.
although most critical, by no means
Is desperate," writes General Dela
croix in the Temps. "Since they still
have resources and are disputing foot
by foot all the territory of the "Vis
tula and the San, all depends on their
powers of resistance and the means
at their disposal. In war despair la
only justified when moral strength
and power of reaction are destroyed.
This is not the case with Poland."
Enemy Advance Halted.
Advices received by the French for
eign office give tha impression of a
lull in the fighting and a stabilization
of the line -the past two days. The
enemy artillery apparently Is short of
ammunition and there has been delay
in bringing up guns andshells to a
position from which they can be
rushed for the final dash to within
shelling distance of Warsaw.
Airplane scouts over the red line
report a heavy movement across the
Bug river of stores of ammunition.
guns and materials of all kinds by the
enemy. -
The foreign office has no official
confirmation of the report received
from Warsaw that General Weygand,
assistant to Marshal Foch. has of.
fered to assume supreme command of
the Polish army. The only message
ecelved by the Eifel tower wireless
station from Moscow reported the
meeting of the third Internationale
and a protest against "Polish atroci

LONDON. Aug. 6. (By the Assocl

Speaker "Despises House."
LONDON', Aug. 6. By an over
whelming majority the government
this evening jammed through the
Irish coercion bill, designed to re
store order in Ireland. Lengthy de
bates preceded the voting in the
house of commons, but lacking the
presence of Premier Lloyd George
and Herbert H. Asquith they did not
stir, the interest which was attached
to yesterday's discussion and were
far less acrimonious.
A notable exception was a furious
outburst by Joseph Devlin, national
ist member from Belfast, who defied
! the authority of the house to bring
him to order and precipitated an ex
citing ccne. He was suspended. He
stalked out followed by all the other
Irish members and almoa the entire
labor representation.
Devlin Won't Hi Silenced.
Kor a time it teemed as though
there was no way to suppress Mr.
Devlin except removing him bodily.
He demanded that Mr. Lloyd-George
be summoned to "share responsibility
for this iniquitous measure" and ve
hemently asserted the premier was
absent so he might "concoct another
war with Russia."
From the government benches cries
of "order! order!" arose.
Mr. Devlin shouted in reply: ' "I
have no respect for the house of com
mons; I despise it."
Bedlam broke out. The chairman
admonished Mr. Devlin, threatening
to expel him. Deviin continued defi
ant, whereupon the chairman called
on the sergeant-at-arms to remove
him. ' He refused to budge and the
chairman summoned the speaker, who
was absen The speaker entered and
was acquainted with Mr. Devlin's con
duct and put a motion to the house to
suspend him.
IriMh Members Withdraw.
Devlin took the sentence philosoph
ically and when the vote to suspend
him was announced he walked out
rapidly. The ensuing exodus of Irish
members and labor champions left
only a handful of liberals to continue
the fight on the bill, and there was
no further excitement until applica
tion of cloture met with angry shouts
of "gagged."
The only interesting point of the de
bate was an attempt to induce the
government to limit operation, of the
act to one year. The amendment was
rejected by a large majority..
PRISONERS MAY BE EXILED
Measure Permits Transfer to Any
Jail In United Kingdom.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 6. (By the
Associated Press.) Any person upon
whom sentence of Imprisonment has
been passed in Ireland could be con
veyed to and detained in any prison
in the United Kingdom under the
terms of the Irish coercion bill which,
passed the third reading today in the
British house of commons. It was an
nounced by the British embassy. Thie
section applies to persons already
sentenced as well as those who may
hereafter be sentenced.
In general, the new law would
transfer the duties of crown tribunals
in Ireland to courtsmartial. The
ilitary courts also would take over
duties of coroners and would have the
power to decide cases without jury.
The text of the bill says:
Where it appears to his majesty in
council that, owing to the existence
of a state of disorder in Ireland the
ordinary law Is inadequate for the
prevention and punishment of crime
or the maintenance of order, his
majesty in coui.cU may issue regula
tions under the defense of the realm
consolidation act, 1914 (hereinafter
referred to as the principal act), for
securing the restoration and main
tenance of order in Ireland and as to
the powers and duties for that pur
pose of the lord lieutenant and "the
chief secretary and of members of his
majesty's forces and other persons
acting on his majesty's behalf and
in particular regulations for the spe
cial purpose hereinafter mentioned.
The provisions of the Principal act
with respect to the trial by. courts
