Aug. S. (By the Associated Preee.)
Tne right wing of the Russian army,
which swept by near the frontier
here yesterady, today had disappeared
to the south, and the only Information
of its movements came from confused
reports of Polish and Russian -retu-gees
who agreed that iUb advance wat

German newspaper men declare that
the reds have forbidden alcohol and
they assert that the bolsheviki are
taking no prisoners but are disarm
ing and freeing captured Poles. Ad
vices say the soviet armies are ad
vancing in full strength, with cavalry
leading.
Increased vigilance is being shown
by the security police, despite infor
mation that the Russians do not in
tend to violate German neutrality.
No person is allowed to cross the
frontier without permission of the
inter-allied commission. -

PARIS, Aug. 7. Dr. Goeppert, head'

The note delivered by I)r. Goeppert
further recalls the request recently
made to the council, of ambassadors
for permission to send German troops

will be ready at the German-Polish
frontier to held up the hands of, the

LEAGUE IS ATTACKED
FORMER AMBASSADOR FLAYS
DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
Fletcher Says Treaty of Versailles,
Signed by Wilson, Destroys
Chart of Peace.
SHADB GAP. Pa., Aug. 7. Article
21 of the league of nations covenant
was attacked as a betrayal rather
than a safeguard of the Monroe doc
trine by Henry P. Fletcher, former
ambassador to Mexico, in an address
today at a county reunion. He de
clared . that the democratic party,
through its indorsement of the league
covenant, was seeking to set up "a
vain, visionary and vanishing scheme
of world regulation and interference
based on an arbitrary disposition of
the lands and peoples of the earth.
"The treaty of Versailles, as signed
by the president, submitted to the
senate1 and indorsed by the demo
cratic national convention," the for
mer ambassador asserted, "absolutely
and completely destroys the great
chart and charter of peace with
freedonvwhich we venerate under the
name of the Monroe doctrine.
"The, Monroe doctrine forbids Amer
ican participation in the political af
fairs of Europe, The treaty re
quires it.
"The Monroe doctrine forbids out-
aide interference In American affairs.
The covenant provides for it.
"Article 21 of the treaty of Ver
sailles," Mr. Fletcher continued, "is
the famous article of the covenant
which we were told would safeguard
and protect the Monroe doctrine.
"There are two versions or the
treaty; one in French and the other
in English. Both are authentic Ap
parently the French text of this arti
cle was prepared for European and
the English text for home consump
tion. - "The English 'text of article 21
reads:
'Nothing in this covenant shall be
deemed to affect the validity of in
ternational engagements, such as
treaties of arbitration or regional un
derstandings like the Monroe doctrine.
for securing the maintenance of
peace.' r
"A literal translation of the French
text of the same article, however,
reads:
" International engagements, ' such
as arbitration treaties and regional
ententes like the Monroe doctrine,
which assure the maintenance of
peace, are not considered as Incom
patible with any of the dispositions
of the present pact.'
"But bvth of these explanations or
reservations of the Monroe doctrine
are only medicated make-believe or
sugar-coated dope. They do not safe
guard or preserve the doctrine at all.
They betray it."
DRYS ARE DISAPPOINTED
Political Stand on Liquor Question
"Unsatisfactory.".
CHICAGO. Aug. 1. Governor Cox'
failure to take a definite stand con
cerning possible repeal of the Vol
stead act and the 18th amendment la
looked upon with disfavor and dis
appointment by the prohibition, party.
Virgil G. Hinshaw, chairman of the
party's national committee, said to
night. He previously had Character
ized Senator Harding's stand as "un
satisfactory."
"Neither candidate has taken the
stand it was hoped he would tak
firm opposition to any change in the
present laws affecting prohibition,
he said.
