The great battle which has just begun along the river has been marked by appreciable advantages for the Poles. They have Inflicted heavy losses on the enemy and retaken important positions. In tlalicia the Poles, without pres sure from the bolsheviki, have with drawn to the Bug. Forces defending Warsaw are now grouped as follows: The left wing, resting on the forts of ' Modlin (Novo Georgivak), holds the line of the lower Narew and Bug; the center, protected behind by the outer forts of Warsaw, occupies posi tions from 18 to 30 miles from the capital; the right wing commands the valley of the upper Bug. Both on the right and left wing is the Poles who have taken the Initiative. Bolshevik forces which had crossed the Bug between Hrubieszow and Wlodawa have been thrown back. On the left wing, the Poles, starting from Modlin. made a successful attack to war Mlawa. The positions the Poles occupy in the fork of the Narew and Bug. which consti.ute the key de fenses of Warsaw, are better pro tected from a flank attack. Reds' Attacks Repulsed. In the center, ,on the lower Bug, all attacks delivered by the. enemy to enable him to approach nearer the Warsaw forts, were repelled with heavy losses. Red cavalry continues to operate along the old Polish-Prussian fron tier without opposition from the Poles. This operation is not con nected with the battle along the Bug and cannot in any way influence the Issue there, even should the bolshe viki throw In stronger forces. It Is considered that the Polish troops occupying Thorn and Graudenz and distributed along the Vistula are am ple to protect the Danzig communi cations from any danger. Flotilla Watrhine River. An armored flotilla is patrol ling the Vistula river between Warsaw and Thorn to prevent the bolsheviki from crossing to encircle this city. Many of these boats saw service along the Prepita and Dnieper rivers, some having been captured from the bolsheviki. Soviet cavalry is working west . ward and was reported at several ' points west of Warsaw. Trains leaving the city continue crowded, but Warsaw is really quieter than a week ago. Fighting at various points on the Warsaw front is reported in last night's official communication. Bad Eymin, to the rfortheast of the capital. Is again in Polish hands, after an. all day fight. The Russians attacked on both sides of RadzVmin at Zegresi and at Okuniew, less than 15 miles due east of Warsaw. Poles Take Prisoners. The communique reports successes for the Poles in the region of Cholm, and Brubieszow, where the Poles took more than 100 prisoners, including the Russian chief of staff and much war material. In the south the soviet forces took Sokal. Further south west the Poles evacuated Brody, which previously had changed hands several times. In the region of Sochotsin the Poles took 600 prisoners and captured 120 truckloads of munitions and 80 truck loads of provisions. WARSAW IS REPORTED TAKEX Bolshevik .Leader at Vllna Says Capital Is In Red Hands. LONDON, Aug. 16. Russian soviet troops have entered Warsaw, the Polish capital, according to a,Kovno, Lithuania, correspondent of the Lon don Times. The dispatch says the staff of the fourth bolshevik army at Vilna re ports that Warsaw was occupied Sun day. The Russians are pushing their fight for Warsaw within a dozen miles of the capital on the northeast It is Indicated from Sunday's official statement from Moscow. They report the capture of Radzy min, in this sector, and the continua tion of the battle along this front and also near Novo Georgievsk to the northeast of Warsaw. The capture of Soldau, 12 miles northeast of Mlawa, also is an Bounced. The London Times cites Monday's official communique from Warsaw "as disposing of the report circulated by the bolsheviki command at Vilna that Warsaw fell Sunday." Sunday's Polish statement conceded the capture of Radzymin, but added that the town was recaptured by the white Ruthenian division and that a desperate struggle was continuing. A-SLER1CAX WARSHIPS SEXT Cruiser and Destroyer to Look After TJ. S. Interests. WASHINGTON, Aug: 16. The ar mored cruiser Pittsburg and a de stroyer have been ordered .to the Baltic sea to protect American inter ests there. The vessels are now at Cherbourg, France, and it was announced today at the navy department they would proceed immediately for Russian waters. The vessels are under orders to pro ceed to Danzig.

Many of these already are in Danzig and others are endeavoring to reach that port. It was stated at the state depart ment today that a few Americans were at other points on the Baltic and that the nearness of bolshevik activities In the Baltic states had made It important that some protec tion be within their reach.

(From the rlsector of Publicity, Demo cratic National Committee.) ' NEW YORK. Aug. 16. (Special.) Under the heading "For 'the League of Nations and Cox," the New Tork Evening Post, one of the great inde pendent newspapers of the country, today editorially pledges its full sup port to the democratic nominees on the national ticket. The Evening Post editorial reads: "The paramount issue in the presi dential campaign is the treaty of peace, and the league of nations, with safeguarding reservations. "Shall America keep faith with her partners in the war, shall America join with them in the only honorable and effective way of making peace with Germany? "Shall America enter heart and soul upon the work of maintaining the peace of the world, as she did upon the task of winning the war? "To these questions Governor Cox has answered yes, and "Senator Har ding has answered no. "The Evening Post, during the week that has elapsed since Gov ernor Cox's speech of acceptance, has held in abeyance its declaration of choice between the two candidates. "The reason was not that i were in doubt concerning Governor Cox's affirmative stand on the treaty and the league, we waited only to see whether Senator Harding would hold fast to his policy of negation. "Senator Harding has maintained his no, On the question of America's honor, duty and ultimate best in terests. "The issue is ' thus clearly Joined. The Evening Post believing that it speaks for a great mass of independ ent American citizenship, pledges its hearty support to the democratic nominees, in whom it sees embodied the highest aims and ideals of the American people.' - DRY TICKET SNAG FACED (Continued From First Page.) that in the first congressional dis trict Mark V. Weatherford, who was the nominee for congress of the prohi bition party, as well as the demo cratic party, received 39,101 votes, which is more than 5 per cent of the total vote cast in said district and in the state for representative in congress. In neither of the other two districts did the prohibition party have a candidate for congress. "Therefore, applying the language of the state to the facts, it is apparent the prohibition party is. entitled to be recognized as a political party in the state at large and in the first con gressional district, but not in the second or third for the purpose of making its nomination of candidates by party convention." Recognition Is Doubted. The latter opinion, attorneys de clared, applies to the present status of the prohibition party and indicates that organization cannot be recog nized in the third or fourth congres sional districts. As a result, they said. Dr. Lovejoy's nomination by the body in Portland Saturday was with out political effect. Records in the office of the secre tary of state showed that Willis C. Hawley, at the election held in No vember, 1918, was J.he npminee of the republican, democratic and prohibi tion parties in the first congressional district and received a total of 67,245 votes. In neither the second nor third congressional districts were there any prohibition candidates for this office. Although Sam A. Kozer, secretary of state, has made no public asser tion as to what action he will take following receipt of Dr. Lovejoy's of ficial nominating petition as a result of last Saturday's convention, his friends indicated today that the en tire matter would be referred to the attorney-general for legal opinion. In view of the attorney-general's previous opinion dealing with the question at issue, it is not believed here that he will reverse his former rulings and allow Dr. Lovejoy to be come the prohibition candidate. In other words, it is believed here that the attorney-general will hold that there is no prohibition party in the third congressional district at the present time. Petition Failure Is Cited. Commenting on Dr. Lovejoy's ' nom ination by the prohibition party, an attorney on the state pay roll today said: "Because of the lack of a prohibi tion candidate for representative from the third congressional district in 191S and the failure of the party to file a petition containing the requried num ber of names for the 1920 election, there is no doubt but that prohibi tionists in Saturday's convention overstepped their legal rights in nom inating Dr. Lovejoy as their candi date. "Because the socialist party In 1918 failed to poll for congressman from the third congressional district 5 per cent of the votes cast' for the can didate at the preceding general elec tion; that organization faces the same situation as the prohibitionists. Searching Parties Find Man; SALEM, Or., Aug. 16. (Special.) Richard Reily, member of the Salem band, who was lost in the dense woods near Mehama for more than 30 hours, was found by one of five searching parties in the Santiam district late last night.

Uncovering of some of the assets of the Old Colony Foreign Exchange company was a development today in the federal and state investigations of financial con cerns promising abnormally large re turns to investors. Three of its offi cers are in jail and an agent 'is at liberty under bonds on charges of larceny. Albert Hurwitz, assistant state at torney general, unearthed the as sets, consisting of cash and checks totaling 111,081, which he took over. At the United States Trust company he found $9926 in cash belonging to the Foreign Exchange company. The remaining $1155, in cash and checks, he obtained at the office of J. F. Mc Cuen, a substitute agent. There he seized books and papers as evidence. Note Holders Tell of Sums, Assistant Attorney-General Jay Benton announced today some of the stories told him by note holders of the Old Colony Foreign Exchange company regarding claims by its agents. Mr! Benton said -one note holder reported that an agent told him that the company was bonded for J50.000 and had $30,000 in a bank at Quincy, where the nate holders lived. Another note holder,' Mr. Benson said, declared that the agent told him on August 10 that the company had just received $3,000,000 from Europe and that it had turned over $1,000,000 to the government to show its good faith.. Many note holders of this company and of the Securities Exchange com pany, operated by Charles Ponzi, who was still in Jail, continued to visit the attorney-general's office and others made reports by mail. The office had examined enough unpaid Ponzi notes to bring his lia bilities up to $2,100,000 and the tab ulation was Incomplete. Woman Loses Sight. Mr. Benton said a Somerville Ital ian had Informed him that his mother-in-law had sustained a shock and had become blind after learning Ponzi's business had collapsed. She had invested $2000, A sidelight of the state's deposit of $125,000 with the Hanover Trust company, Ponzi's chief depository, closed by the state bank commissioner, was the appear ance of a widow at the state indus trial accident board today with a check for $10 on that bank.
