oiR-checked in more than one way.
.ie following interesting facts may be
jnsldered as fuMy proved now:
"The reds were absolutely sure of
tklng Warsaw. Their bureau of mlli

anized far less thoroughly than their
olitical propaganda. On the "Warsaw
ector orders have been discovered
emulating the method of their entry
ito that city, the measures to be
aken when the city was occupied,
ae rules as to hostages, and so on.
Polish Collapse Expected.
"It Is now a well established fact
Iso that so sure were the reds of a
olish collapse that they found It

lons southward against General

or.ed from the peasants. The com
lissariat work is described repeat-
.-iiv n most unsatisfactory.
"The main Idea of the bolshevik
military operations appears to have
een to work the whole thing as a
colossal bluff. In this, the extra
rdinarily small necessities of the
Russian peasant came in very use
fully, the soldiers existing practically
on a small quantity of dry bread
daily.
Treason Charge Usual.
"The commissaries and commanding
officers seem to have indulged in
mutual crimination, and numerous re
ports have . been found containing
choice accusations of Incompetency
and even of political treason.
"On the other hand, the central or
ganization in Moscow seems to have
been developing feverish activities.
Folios upon folios of instructions.
schedules, memoranda and other bu
reaucratic documents are being found
every day. If paper and printing Ink
could win battles, certainly the bol
shevikl deserve to be victorious.
Bluff Front la Betrayed.
"But even more Interesting than
all this material is the information
derived from casual evidence as to
the internal political conditions In
Russia. First of all, there is a nega
tive fact which greatly struck all
military men who have had experi
ence in the great war on the western
fiont. On the dead bodies of the reds
and on numerous prisoners practically
no letters from friends of relatives
are to be found. The artny seems to
have been deprived for a long time of
postal relations with home. On the
other hand, important sums of money
have been discovered on numerous
Individuals.
"The power of the soviet seems to
have been non-existent in a large
tract of country behind the front.
Complaints have been found in which
commanders of the reds declare that
they could not find any soviet or
ganization In this or that town or
country district.
"One has the feeling that, some
tow, a process of dissolution is going
on. and the more one reads the nu
merous fragments of evidence now
being collected, the more one becomes
confirmed In the idea that the bol
ehevikl put up a tremendous bluff.

Americans Are Helping.
NEW YORK, Aug. 29. France's
"victory of peace" in her reconstruc
tion "nails the lie that her people are
not working," Herbert S. Houston,
New Tork publisher, declares after a
period of research at Paris whence
he recently returned.
Offering statistics showing re
markable rehabilitation In former
devastated regions, where German di
visions wrought havoc In Industrial,
farming and mining sections, Mr.
Houston characterizes the recovery
of the French people as another "mir
acle of the Marne." In an article in
the current Issue of World's Work
he says:
"With government support. Includ
ing loans totaling 9,609,082,916 francs
for agricultural and industrial recon
struction in 'devastated depart
ments,' the French people have re
opened 5345 out of 6445 schools exist
ant before the war; built or rebuilt
28,200 temporary wooden and 16,800
permanent stone dwellings, and erect
ed 28,500 wooden barracks to replace
houses destroyed; cleared 3,339,000
hectares (a hectare is about 2
acres) out of 3,950,000 of barbed wire
and trenches; employed 1500 men
pumping out and cleaning up flooded
mines; rebuilt 475 out of 600 railroad
bridges, with 80 more in course of
construction; reopened virtually all of
1100 kilometers of canals destroyed
and rebuilt 136 wharves and built 28
new ones.
"Today, less than two years from
the armistice, the population of the
invaded regions has grown from less
than 2,000,000 to more than 4,000.000
approximately three-quarters of the
prewar population," Mr. Heuston says,
adding that the return was "not that
of the prodigal son." .
American committees have done
much to help France rebuild, Mr.
Houston declares, adding that Intro
duction of farming machinery to the
French peasant probably was Ameri
ca's best contribution.
"A a result to a. considerable de
gree of this mechanical assistance,
greatly increasing the producing
power of the fewer workers, the dev
astated regions In 1920 will raise
enough crops for food," he predicts.

Mr. Roosevelt also had an avowed
ambition to run for United States
senator, an ambition that had no place
In the political economy of Tammany
hall.
Mr. Roosevelt was thinking much
along the line of Boss Murphy at
about this time and played his cards
accordingly. On his arrival at San
Francisco, as assistant secretary of
the navy, he invited the wives and
daughters of the Tammany chieftains
to dinner on the battleship fleet,
which was anchored conveniently in
the bay. That was step No. 1. The next
step was for. Mr. Roosevelt, who had
been known as anti-Tammany, in ac
cordance with the administration at
titude, to show his repentance by
mounting the platform to say nice
things about Al Smith, ' Tammany's
New York governor, whom Bourke
Cochran had eloquently placed in
nomination.
Gambling; Venture Taken.
After that everything was easy.
Tammany was willing to take tha
usual gambling chance on the vice
president. If elected, becominga suc
cessful candidate for a political sar
cophagus. It was an easy way put
and would add respectability to the
nomination of Governor Cox by Tam
many, both in New York, where Tam
many is known, and outside of New
York, where it is not so well known.
The next morning after Cox's nom
ination, this decision was put in ef
fect, and doubtless the first time that
1000 of the delegates assembled heard
of Roosevelt as a vice-presidential
candidate was when they read it in
their morning papers on the day of
his nomination.
The newspapers of that morning
stated rathe- positively that he would
be the vice-presidential nominee. All
other candidates were swept aside.
according to the bosses' edict, and Mr.
Roosevelt was nominated to acquire
a name which has always been a
valuable asset to the republican
party.
It is noted that neither Governor
Cox nor his running mate have ever
charged that Governor Coolidge's
nomination was the result of a frame
up because mention of Coolidce's nom
ination would emphasize the help-4
lessness of the leadeps to control the
convention at Chicago.

Last Issue of Commoner Shows
Heart of-- Peerless One Is
Still "in the Gra-je."
.OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU,
Washington, Aug. 29. What will
Bryan do? This is the question
which is annoying democrats and
causing curiosity among republicans.
Bryan's latest utterances give no
encouragement to those democrats
who hope to see him get into the cam
paign in behalf of Governor Cox. The
last issue of "the commoner" shows
Mr. Bryan's heart is still "in the
grave," and if he helps Mr. Cox at
all the fear is expressed that he will
not do so until he has by his long
coolness caused many dry democrats
to plant themselves .in some other
party.
Both republicans and democrats
have believed that sooner or later Mr.
Bryan would find some pretext for
supporting Cox, , but just a little
doubt has risen lately. It appears
that Mr. Bryan finds it difficult to
comr- out for Mr. Cox on account of a
public statement Issued on June 12,
but which received little publicity on
account of the load of convention
Etvi which weighted down the wires.
The Bryan statement. . which was
the

ssued two weeks before

'Governor Cox of Ohio is likely to
be the residuary legatee of all the
other wet candidates and may be re
garded as the final rallying point for
all democrats who either, because of
financal interest In the liquor traffic
or because of their own fondness for
intoxicants, regard love of liquor as
the only legitimate affection and the
ieht to buy it as the only inalien
able rigfit guaranteed by the consti
tution. '
"The absurdity of his candidacy be
comes the more apparent when it is
remembered that at least 15,000,000
women will be able to vote at the

of state laws. If the suffrage amend

" WARSAW, Aug. 29. (By the Asso

government has accepted the Palish
proposal for transfer of the Russo
Polish peace negotiations from Minsk
to Riga, it was announced in a Mos
cow wireless message to the Polish
government early today.
Reports reached Warsaw Saturday
that little progress had been made at
the Minsk conference and that it had
been agreed to shift the negotiations
in the hope of bettering conditions
generally.
A wireless message from Minsk by
way of Moscow complains about the
treatment suffered by the Polish del
egates. The message asserts the
commander of the western soviet
army placarded Minsk with posters
labeling the Poles as spies and warn
ing the population against associat
Ing with them. The message adds
that the commander destroyed the
Poles' wireless antennae, hindering
communication with Warsaw.

CHICAGO, Aug. 29. (Special.)
Will" Hays, republican national chair
man, declared today that Governor
Cox would have to prove his cam
p&lgn fund charges and that Mr. Cox
could not do it because they were
absolutely false."
Mr. Hays, soon after arriving here
today, said:- 1
I am glad to be hare also this week

which begins tomorrow. The repub
lican national committee has real sat
isfaction in the opportunity to get all
of these facts before the people. We
have been trying to acquaint the pub
lic with our plan of decentralized giv
ing for a year. J(r. Cox has charged
that millions have been paid to the
repuMican national committee by sin
ister influences to buy the presidency.
Yesterday he is reported to have said
in New Tork that many men are
making contributions to the repub
lican campaign funds for the purpose
of using the bayonet to settle Indus
trial difficulties. "
Charges Declared Iaanlta.
"Mr. Cox will have to prove these
charges this week. This he cannot
do, for the simple reason that the
charges ' are absolutely false. His
declarations are an fnsult to the
thousands of erood citizens all over
the country who are aiding with small
contributions in this popular cam
paign for funds to help elect a repub
lican president. The name of every
one of the thousands of men and
women contributing every single dol
lar will, of course, be given to the
senatorial committee and the quality
of the citizenship which constitutes
that list will be such a condemnation
of the veracity and Judgment of Mr,
Cox that the whole country will know
him, and. incidentally, he will have
an opportunity to explain the source
of some of his own funds collected
by his national committee and by
agencies outside his national com
mittee for his benefit."

Incurred the animosity of the gam
blers through the activity of Its indi

evils, and on several occasions le
gionnaires were held up at the point
of revolvers and threatened.
Keeping calm under this constant
menace, the legion men took no con
certed action until their pictures, ad
vertising a post dinner, had repeat
edly been torn down and defaced.
They then appealed to state legion
headquarters, which got in touch with
the adjutant general of Texas and
captain of rangers was dispatched to
Desdemona.
Further insults in the meantime
had been offered to legionnaires, and
at a mass meeting they demanded re
dress, which was refused. This crisis
came on a stormy night, when the
population of Desdemona arose, and
with 18 legionnaires sworn in as dep
uty rangers, arretted the men who
had been defacing the veterans' post
er and threatening their lives.
The crusade against lawlessness
moved swiftly after this action, and
within 24 hours the original offend

other undesirables had been escorted

OREGONIAN , NEWS
BUREAU.
Washington, Aug;. 29. George P.
Hampton, who calls himself director
general of the farmers national coun
cil, which represents the farmers'
non-partisan league in Washington,
sent a letter to President Wilson yes
terday asking the government to
recognize soviet Russia. This move
is accepted as meaning that the mask
Is removed as to the refatlonship be
tween the non-partisan league and
the bolshevik government of Lenlne
and Trotxky.
Hampton is associated in the man
agement of the farmers' national
council with Benjamin C. Marsh, who
was quoted by New York newspapers
a few days before America entered
the war as saying: This is a war for
J. P. Morgan & Co." Marsh also was
quoted by the same papers as saying
in another speech. "Let us pray for
the death of Root and Roosevelt."
Mr. Roosevelt has died since that
time, but whether his demise was due
to Mr. Marsh's prayers history fails
to state. Marsh has appeared before
numerous congressional committees in
behalf of socialistic legislation. In
cluding government ownership of rall-
roaas ana tna mechant marine. One
of his last appearances was befor
the senate commerce committee, when
he indulged in the Hampton-Marsh
boast that the farmers' national coun
cil represented 750,000 farmers. It was
this statement which caused Senator
McXary to remark: "You do not rep
resent any honest farmers. You only
represent those non-partisan fellows."
Hampton and Marsh carry the non
partisan league on their stationery aa
one of the organizations which they
say they represent. Marsh calls him
self publicity director of the farmers'
national council.
