OREGON AIDING BERLIN IS SOVIET, PRESIDENT P01NCARE BRIEVES "It we do not take caxe, all that was accomplished; at Versailles will be destroyed at Warsaw," is te warning voiced by: former President Poincare of France, in his bi-monthly signed article in commenting upon the Russo-Folish situation. "Everyt thing; points to the belief that there exists secret f understandings, and, without doubt, agreements between the BolshevHcIs and Germany," M Poincare declares. Tor many months cipher wireless messages have been exchanged, he asserts. ,-tn addition to this situation. M- Poincare tells of other conditions as regards Ger - many, and outlines the various steps which have led up to the present i critical situation, as he sees them. By Raymond Poincare (ExcltuiT American ricbts by VniUd Km.) (Copyright, 1920.) - Paris, Aug. 16.- We would cer tainly be poorly inspired, all of us, If we .did not keep ourselves closely allied, in our common conventions, for on all sides we are surrounded by menacing dangers. Germany is carefully profiting by the Indulgent result "granted her at the conference at Spa. The German com mission of occidental Prussia is at pres ent sealously recruiting in the sections along ; the Vistula, 1 false protests are spread against their reunion to Poland. The German press is angry because the Berlin government has authorized the teaching of the Polish language In the schools of upper Bilesla. The German government complains of the preceed ings which the Belgians employed be fore the plebiscite of Eupenx and MaJ medy. ': . SriBIT OF BETEWGE 1 ' We find in Silesia, German officers among the Kemellat troops . whom we took prisoner. The students form home guards, armed with rifles, in all the German universities. The majority So cialists in the reichstag reproach the International Socialist congress for hav ing admitted that Germany was respon sible for the war. Germany gives her commissary the liberty of sending units or the relcnswehr to the frontier. In the Saare, the pan-German lets ex cite a public service strike. In brief, our old enemies ; are systematically fol lowing the idea of crumbling the Ver seilles treaty to pieces and of substi tuting In its place a state of fact which will be neither peace nor war. Already, here and there, the spirit of revenge is awakening, and In the streets of the large cities the students and. soldiers of the reichswehr are singing In stentorian tones their "TJeutschland Uber Alles." ULOTD GEORGE'S FLAXS . This is the moment chosen by several English newspapers to call upon Lloyd George to conduct the allies to a new international conference, or rather, a general congress of Europe, to which, of course, the Soviets and the Germans would be admitted this to be done either agreeably or by force- and ' there once and for all, the entirework of Versailles Would be put aside. 1 Such Is the nlan of the premier minister of Great Britain. tnese papers assured, and ror a long time he has aimed, toward its realisation with an obstinacy which under the embroidery of apparent fantasies has formed a very resisting fabric ! We do not know how exact is this Inii feroretatlon1 of the ' win of " lioyd George, but it Is certain on the other hand, that since the Invitation to rnn kipo, be has not varied from his idea to engage in conversation with the Vol- shevlkl. and even during the last montns of Cleroenceau's Ministry, he dreamed of bavins: the peace conference cross the channel. He at many times insisted to the French that the treaty with Turkey b negotiated at London. And he found that it was England's turn to offer her hospitality to the supreme council. . A DAJfGEHOrS CHABMEB 'Did this admitted desire accompany a more discreet thought, and did he dream of a vast, congress in which, under his presidency. England would eignify to the universe a ; new and easier , peace for Germany? ; s : , : ' il do not know. I even wish to believe that the papers which attributed this plan to him and compliment him upon it. ntisiudRe his intentions and burlesque his policies ; however, Lloyd George Is a charmer, who, sometimes by seduction and sometimes by playful threats, "en tices , the : passer-by to follow him and laaes him on unknown trails." When one does not immediately resist this sorcery he runs the risk of eventu ally succumbing. "Come." he murmurs, Jfct us sit upon the moor, and let us search for the best means of executing the treaty of Versailles." W follow him i we sit down ; he shows us . the torn treaty, and he says, "watch me closely; I. jbave nothing here to deceive you " FOLAWD DOUBLE CROSSED And we think we see. under his ma gician's hand, the treaty executed. There is nothing to assure us that, after first putting Krassin and Kamaneff in quar antine, he will not ask us to be neigh borly with . them and with Dr. von Si mons, where they will try to regulate the future of Europe and Asia. Today we find that from the slippery incline where they ventured, England and France . have now arrived at the edge of the abyss. The Reds have open, edi the road to Teheran ; Poland crushed, at 1 the feet of the Bolshevik! ; the soviet government continues with super-cleverness its plans to put us to sleep. It amused the Poles in seeming to accept the armistice. It refused the armistice unfier pretext that the Polish plenipoten tiaries did not have the authority to sign fori peace, and followed its military ad vantages. j OTT TO FOLAHD ; While Lloyd George was trying to hold onto the coat tails of the Bolshe vik!, the latter repulsed him with dis dain and told him without his wishing to listen that: they were big enough to look after their own affairs and were opposed to any mediation. Are the al lies going to allow Poland to fall back under the slab of the sepulchre after having said in common accord: "Arise and live again in the light of the day T" , From - France, from . England, .. from America, from everywhere the exiled Poles returned to fight beside our ar mies for the liberties of the peoples and for their own national hopes. On the flags that 'Paris, Nancy, Belfort and Verdun had offered their legions, the white eagle unfolded her wings with. the isame pride as In other days upon the red velvet of the standard carried by the soldiers of Jagellon. By this act the allies showed that they had themselves taken up the task of the resurrection of Poland, the na tion "which, in spite -of a criminal dis memberment and Of prolonged violence, had kept Intact her traditions and her language: who had never allowed .her voice to be stifled and who never al lowed here t claims to become obsolete, either irf exile or under foreign dom ination had been able to preserve her personality. i She was born again under the auspices of several belligerent pow ers. :. -;.). ; , - THE PREMIERS MEET herence or by lack of will power the ef forts while it made these last years to reestablish a Poland, capable of living, and to; limit German ambition n the East as to the West. Messrs. 1 Lloyd George and Millerand met again at Hythe and meditated together on the tomorrow of Europe. The i British pre mier i received Kamaneff and j Krassin and again telegrams were exchanged with Moscow. A firmer -language was used i more precise measures were stud ied; they tried to stop by common de cision the course of events which Bad surprised the allied diplomacy iln Its semi-wakefulness. . . 1 f - j . CODE MESSAGES MTSTERT ; j . . - But the task is now more difficult than It was yesterday. Not only has the Bolshevik success swollen their con ceit :- and Increased their - presumption ; not only has their arrogance,; encour aged by Polish defeats ana tne nesiiai ; in attitude of the English! cabinet, be come a perpetual menace to the peace of the world, but everything points to the belief that there exists between them and the Berlin government secret understanding- and without doubt agree ments. For many months radiographic messages, with skilled combinations of figures, which render inem unaecipner able. have tfeen mysteriously multiplied between the "reich" and the ) Soviets i these silent conversations serosa the vast Polish plains do not leave us, without anxiety. . . , , i ' ! I v. " If we do not take care, all that was accomplished at Versailles will be de stroyed at Warsaw. i I J Then, when i victory came to recom pense the armies at whose sides the Poles were fighting. England, America, France and their allies kept their given word. The treaty of Verseilles conse crated the Independence of Poland and reunited the pieces that Russia,. Prussia and Austria had divided. ' Was this only a phantom: of ephemer al inclination?

Gover nor Cox, Democratic; nominee for president, and his party, returning from Wheeling Sunday; In four auto mobiles were held up by motorcycle policemen on a charge of speeding in the little village of Jacksontown, 32 miles out of Columbus. . , ; The governor declined to be "pinched," however, and the party motored on to Columbus, i',- . -',:'V "!' The abashed policemen followed behind until they got the license numbers of all four (cars and promised to have warrants! served here. j . Governor Cox assured them he would be glad to receive them at the state house any time they should call, i 1 Adjutant General Roy E. Layton. who accompanies the governor, declared he believed the attempted arrests ; were the . result of a "frame-up" by ! local Republican officials of Jacksontown. He said: j .. . ; j I "We had been warned yesterday that a group of Republican officials in Jack sontown Would lay for; the governor and nail him today." ; j ; The governor's party passed two men in plain clothes riding! a motorcycle shortly before they reached Jackson town. but there was no attempt at that point to hold up the .cars. The first intimation; the governor ; had that an attempt was to be made to harry him came as his car, leading the procession, approached the center of the village. A large crowd was gathered on the corner and a man' in his shirtsleeves, probably the chief of police, who, it is presumed, had been asked by the mo torcycle men to stop the party, stood in the middle of the street waving one hand, pointing to his police badge with the other and shouting at the top of his vaice:- - - t "Stop 1 Stop ! Tou are arrested for speeding.'' , - The governor's car moved on and the other chauffeur's car followed close behind. i The motorcycle policemen then gave chase, shouting orders to stop and wav ing their hands as they rode past. To make: certain the cars would stop, the policemen wheeled directly in front of Governor Cox's car and came to a halt. j . s-.-. i One of them ran around to the side of the car and announced that the party was under arrest The other three cars also had come to a stop and the news paper men j rushed up to the governor's machine. " j i ; Someone Informed' the policemen that Governor Cox was in the; first car. The police said theyrdidn't care who was In the - car. . ::: "You'll have to ero back" the police man demanded.- "They said they want ed these four cars."
