PLEBISCITE ASKED
One Soviet Peace Term In
volves Territory.
5 PROPAGANDA ONE AIM
Demands Ready for Presentation
to Minsk Session Are Expect
ed to Be Severe.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 13. (By the
Associated Press.) A plebiscite to
determine the future of Russian Po
land is one of the peace terms drawn
up by the bolshevikl coincident with
the first proposal of an armistice by
the Polish government. The right
of unrestricted propaganda in this
territory during the year intervening
before the plebiscite would be de
manded. These and the other terms in peace
which are believed to have been form
ulated for submission at the meet
ing between the soviet and Polish
emissaries were received today in
official circles. While not regarded
as final, the terms are accepted here
as illustrative of the intention of the
invaders to impose peace conditions
of a drastic nature.
Itlffht to i'ae Codes Demanded.
The other terms include the right
of the soviet government to unre
stricted transmission of all code
messages across Poland between Rus
sia and Germany, the turning over of
salt and coal mines in 'Poland for
operation by the soviet government
and the right of unrestricted travel
for all soviet nationals across the
Polish frontiers without Polish vise
on passports.
The provision for a plebiscite in
the portion of Poland formerly be
longing to Russia and the stipulation
that the bolsheviki be granted per
mission to disseminate propaganda
in that terr'tory is viewed by offi
cials as likely to be obnoxious to the
Poles. The granting of such de
mands would, officials here say, re
sult in the loss to the Warsaw gov
ernment of Russian Poland, for all
Polish national feeling in that region,
it is considered, would be blotted out
by the bolsheviki propaganda.
Severe Terras Expected.
Officials were Inclined to believe
that the peace terms to be submitted
at Minsk will be more severe than
those prepared for the Baranovitch
conference, which ended abruptly
when the Polish armistice emissaries
replied they had no authority to con
clude peace.
The state department had not re
ceived the French note expressing
satisfaction with the American atti
tude on the Russian-Polish situation
as defined in the American note to
the Italian ambassador. State de
, partment officials stated there had
never existed any reason to question
the approval by France of the posi
tion of the United States toward the
Russian and Polish problems.
V. S. Confident In Wrnngel.
The act of confidence displayed ,by
the French government in General
Wrangel by recognition -of him as a
de facto government has brought to
light a similar confidence by the
United States. It is true, officials
eald . today, that the United States
hopes to introduce the friendly ex
pressions of sympathy for the Rus
sian people embodied in the American
note. Finland and the Baltic states
have been chosen as stragetic points
for disseminating attack of the soviet.
Officials today pointed to an order
of General Wrangel as indicating
earnest endeavor of the antl-bol-.
shevik leader to establish a civic
government which will obtain the
'. confidence of the Russian people.
Statement Text Received.
A civil administration Is attached
to the headquarters of each army
corps charged with the duty of es
tablishing a civil government in the
area occupied by the corps.
The text of a statement explaining
the aims of Wrangel, issued by him
recently upon the occupation of a
town In southern Russia, was re
ceived here today by officials.
"We are fighting," General Wran
gel declared, "first for the orthodox
religion as a symbol of our national
ity; second, against those red com
missaires who have filled Russia
with blood and who. Instead of giving
liberty to the people, have only given
slavery; third, that each peasant
' shall receive as his own land that
on which he is working; fourth, that
every honest workman may obtain
from his labor a good existence and
comfort for his old age; fifth, that
the peasant people may choose for
themselves a master to rule them.'
Brightwell, Raymond Meyers and
Gunnar E. R. Lindbald of Sweden as
trustees. Its first offices were in
the building on School street, where
Ponel's office was located. While the
run on Ponzi was in progress the ex
change company stationed men at its
doors to make announcements of its
business and try to attract investors
from among Ponzi's note holders.
These people were promised 100 per
cent returns on their money in six
months. Later the company moved
to pretentious quarters on Devon
shire street with a branch office on
Oliver street. Offices were opened
in other New England cities.
BrlghtTveJl Is Angeleno.
About two weeks ago Brightwell
was summoned to an'interview with
Federal District Attorney Gallagher.
Brightwell told him that he had been
in this city for a year and a half. He
said that previously he had been en
gaged m financial activities in Los
Angeles, had been head of an oil and
gas company somewhere in the west
and had been president of a copper
company in New Jersey.
He said his company intended to
do a general foreign trade business.
He expected Lindblad. he said, to
make the arrangements, as he him
self was unfamiliar with foreign
trade. Lindblad, he said, was on his
way to Europe on behalf of the com
pany. Mr. Gallagher said today that in
vestigation so far had failed to show
any violation of federal laws by
Brightwell's concern.
Attorney-General Allen, who has
been investigating the activities of
Ponzi and of the Old Colony Foreign
Exchange company, said today he
knew the exchange company had sent
large sums of money abroad.
The total amount of Ponzi's liabili
ties is still undetermined. Edwin L.
Pride, the auditor, engaged by the
federal authorities to go over Ponzi's
accounts, said that although his work
was not finished, he had found lia
bilities totaling $8,000,000 and that
Ponzi had told him that his assets
amounted to $4,000,000.

Ex-Soldier Says Italian Tried to
Smuggle Him From Canada.
SACRAMENTO, Cal., Aug. 13.
Activities of Charles Ponzi of Boston
developed a local angle when Rocco
Fiorenza of Sacramento, an ex-service
man, declared Ponzi owes him $300
which he loaned Ponzi while in jail
with him in Plattsburg, N. Y., in 1910.
Ponzi, according to Fiorenza, was
arrested in 1310 when he attempted
to smuggle Fiorenza, his father and
two other Italians into this country
from Montreal, Canada, without pass
ports. According to Fiorenza, officials of
an Italian bank in Montreal informed
them Ponzi would take them safely
across the border into the United
States for $60 each, which money
they paid the bank.
When the train reached the border,
said Fiorenza, an immigration offi
cial arrested the five of mem. A
charge of smuggling was placed
against Ponzi, he said, while the
other four were held in the same
New York jail with Ponzi as wit
nesses. While in jail, according to Fiorenza,
$300 was given to Ponzi on the
promise he would get them out of
jail. Ponzi was convicted on the
smuggling charge, said Fiorenza, and
sentenced to serve two years in a
prison at Atlanta, Ga.
In 1912 Fiorenza said his father
returned to Montreal, Canada, to
bring an action against the bank to
recover the money paid to get them
across the border. Shortly after he
started proceedings, Fiorenza de
clared, his father disappeared and
he has never heard from him since
the government's policy.
Direct Action Discussed.
J. H. Thomas, secretary of the na
tional union of raliwayinen, said that
if circumstances demanded it would
be for the whole labor movement to
decide upon direct action.
Robert Smillie of the miners' or
ganization said:
"If France and General Wrangle
cut off Russia's coal supply, will it
be interfering too much with France
if the British miners and railwaymen
cut off France's supply?"
Asserting that the Eritlsh labor
party members were the only people
able to prevent an attack on Russia,
he went on amid cheers:
I want to thank our comrade.
Winston Churchill, for uniting the
British democracy. We couldn't do
it ourselves. Now the British people
have achieved unity. God send us the
assistance to preserve it."
Lrasrne Bitterly Attacked.
Tom Shaw, secretary of the inter
national textile workers, bitterly at
tacked the league of nations for not
preventing Poland's offensive against
Russia.

General Haller's army, holdinr no

pushed toward the capital by the
bolsheviki, who are speeding up their

The northern rods, according to the

on the capital. Another column was
advancing between the Narew and
the Bug, while south of the Bug the
enemy has passed the line running
from Tluszcz, through Piivki, Dobre,
Kaluszyn, Tsegloff and Latovitch to
Zelechoff. Farther south the enemy
had succeeded in forcing a passage
of the Bug and was moving on Lublin.

the fate of the city. This apparently
is the view of the Polish government,
which is reported considering moving

PARIS, Aug. 13. The French gov

United States government expressing
pleasure that the French and Amer

was learned today.
The note, which was 800 words long

American note to Italy, saying that
France "reaches an identical conclu
sion." It added that France "never
varied in her Intention to support the
principles so closely formulated by
the government of the United States."
The French note said it was with
these principles in mind that France
recognized General Baron Wrangel
and decided not to approve the Soviet's
terms to Poland unless they contorm
with these principles. It concluded
that France was "happy to note once
again the most thorough harmony be
tween the sentiments animating the
American and French peoples when
- there Is at stake the future of clvili
