Ambassador
Davis Denies
He Will Quit
New York, Aug. 25 John W.
Davis, ambassador to Great Britain,
who arrived here today denied re
ports current in Washington that
he would not return to his post in
London after his vacation.
Washington, Aug. 25. Reports
that John W. Davis, American am
bassador to Great Britain, who ar
rived today at New York, would not
return to the court of St. James
were current here today. At the
state department, however, it was
said that there was no official in
formation as to his plans.
Some of the ambassador's frlenon
credited the report that he had de
cided to resign. The post at London
is known as the most expensive of
all the American diplomatic sta-'
tions and in the past has been a
drain on the private resources of
the men who held it. If Mr. Davis
has determined to resign his friends
said this probably was his chief rea
son for wishing to retire to- private
life.

Harding Urges
Individual and
National Thrift
Marion, Ohio, Aug. 25. Greater
individual and governmental econ
omy were urged by Senator Hard
ing in a front porch speech today
accusing the democratic adminis
tration of extravagance and giving
credit to the republican congress
for saving nearly a billion dollars
since it came into power.
The republican nominee also de
clared for repeal of wartime legis
lation and for better federal main
tenance of highways and for read
justment of taxation. In a brlet
reference to ratification of the suf
frage amendment he asserted his
confidence that the enfranchise
ment of women would be a long
step forward in securing capable
government.
The speech was delivered to a
delegation of republicans from
Wyandott county, Ohio. Its text fol
lows in part:
Charges Extravagance.
"Our country is suffering today
in common with much of the world
as a result of the great war. We
have this difference to distinguish
us from Europe: We have actual
peace, though not formally declarea
while much of Europe is engaged in
war, directly or indirectly. The
European states have made their
covenant but war continues. We
have entered Into no covenant and
we have actual peace but we have
also the aftermath of the war In
high cost of living, in disturbed so
cial conditions and in uncertainty
in our industrial and financial af
fairs. "What we need is to have the
government stop Its extra vagar re
as an example to Individual thrift.
Just now we need to practice econ
omy in all things. This may sound

Railroad Sold
For Less Than
Value as Scrap
Medford, Aug. 23. Although
the road has scrap value estimat
ed at $438,000, the Pacific & East
ern railroad, extending between
Medford and Butte Falls, went un
der the hammer by Special Mas
ter Attorney Magulre of Portland
to M. D. Olds, the Sheboygan,
Mich., lumberman, for $190,600, in
the presence of a small crowd.
The sale price was the minimum
set by the United States court for
the auction and the terms were a de
posit of $15,000 and the balance
in 60 days.
Olds was the only bidder altho
the Miller-Grler Construction com
pany of Portland was prepared to
bid, and had their $15,000 check
deposited with the intention of do
ing so.
Bid Falls Through
Only a few hours before the sale
Attorney G. M. McDowell of Port
land, its representative, Bald the
company was going to try and buy
the road, and if successful would
see that it was operated and the
development of the great timber
country east of Medford allowed to
proceed. However the company
did not bid.
W. F. Turner, vice president '.-f
the Spokane, Portland & Seattle
railway and system lines, who is
the receiver of the road, said af
ter the sale that although the roads
scrap value was over $400,000 the
Hill interests fajvored seeing Jt go
at the set minimum auction salet
price rather than see it scrapped.
Turner and the receiver's attor
ney. C. H. Hart, left for Portland

Paris, Aug. 25. Negotiations
looking to surrender to the Poles
have been begun by the northern
Kusslan bolshevik army, says i
Vienna dispatch. Latest Informa
tion from Warsaw indicates the ad
vance of the Polish armies contlnm
rapidly and that the bolshevik!
seem anxious to lose contact with
the Poles. The number of prison
ers captured by the Poles is said to
approximate 60,000.
Nine, Nein, Nina
Harpersvllle, Ohio, Aug. 25.
Somebody may say "nein," but
"nine" Is right.
On August 9 a daughter was
born to Mr. and Mrs. James
Kumbera.
The child, the ninth in the
Kumbera family, weighed nine
pounds and arrived upon earth
aS the clock struck nine.
The Kumbera family resides
at No. 9 on their street.
The quintet of nines assocl.
ated with the child's birth led
the mother to name her new
daughter Nina, it is said.
10,000 Prisoners Taken.
Warsaw, Aug. 24. Kolno, an mt

been taken by Polish forces sweep
Ing rapidly northward In pursuit of
the bolshevlkt. More than 10,000
prisoners, cut off from the main
body of the soviet army, have been
captured in this region.
Reports from various fronts, par
ticularly the northern sections of
the line, Indicate the bolshevlkt re
fleeing everywhere in great dtsor

number of other bolshevik! casual
ties, at 40,000.
The remnant of tne rourtn doi-

London, Aug. 25. An immediate rupture of the Rosso

Youthful Red

Sort of Chap
Paris, Aug. 25. French officers
who were prisoners in the German
camp at Ingloetadt during the war
at the same time as Michall Tuhca
opensky, the commander-in-chief
of the bolshevik armies in Poland,
do ont believe the young general
has any ambition to seat hlmaon.
on the throne vacated by the Rom
anoffs. Tuchachevsky is described
as a radical in everything politics
literature, art, religion. He cares,: don.
for only one thing glory. He
knows the RuBisans too well to take
the risk of having himself pro
claimed a new czar.
As for his political opinions or
beliefs, they are very simple, for
he simply hasn't any. He laughs at
the monarchical form of govern
ment as he does atthe idea of a
democracy. He talked to French
officers at length about the French
Revolution and got them to teach
him the revolutionary hymn "La
Carmagnole." But at the same time
he said the Jacobins were at heart
mere bourgeois. He made no secret
of his detestation for England ano
all things English. He felt the
3ame way tofard the Germans.
Tuchachevsky took a prominent
part in all the practical jokes the
prisoners played on the eGrmans.
Once he appeared at the morning
inspection wearing a monocle of
black cardboard in mockery of -the
Prusisan officer who never appear
ed without his ocular adjunct.
This is unpardonable Insolence,
cried the officer. "You will pew
dear for this."
'How much?" queried the Rus
sian ostentatiously putting hlB hand
in his pocket and drawing out nis
purse.
Tuchachevsky scarcely ever
drank more than a glass of wine
at his meals. On the celebration of
the French national holiday July 14
1917, one of the French officers
nnnred a class of rum Into the
Russian's wine. Tuechah'cevsky saw
Minsk, Soviet Russia, Aug. 24.
(From Associated Press staff cor
respondent with armistice commis
sion, via Soviet wireless to Mos
cow) The Polish armistice dele
gates are not satisfied with the
bolshevik terms which make ref
erence to the boundary line prl
posed by Earl Curzon, British min
ister of foreign affairs. The ground
of the Polish opposition is that
the Curzon boundary line would
in effect be the same as a third
partition of Poland.
The Polish representatives stat
ed that by agreeing to this Curzon
line the Soviets were seeking tl
retain territory wrongfully taken
from Poland by the Russian czars

Terms Flatly Rejected
London, Aug. 2B. Poland's re
ply to the peace terms presented
by the Russian soviet delegation
at Minsk amounts to a flat rejec
tion, says the Manchester Guar
dian's Minsk correspondent In a
wireless dispatch filed Monday.
"Out of the fifteen Russian de
mands," he continued, "only ont,
that relative to demobilization, is
accepted and that only on condi tion
that Russia will take a simi

"The boundary line between Po

"Demands for distribution oC

Warsaw, Aug. 25. Pollen vic
tories over soviet armies which In
vaded Poland apparently have not
affected the bolshevlkt delegate
at the peace conference In Minsk.
A wireless dispatch from Minsk tflf
day by Foreign Minister Sapleha,
asserted:
"The bolshevik! at today's meet

This was the fifth message
by the Polish delegation at Minsk,
but one of them has not arrived.
The message declared, according
to the flrelgn 'office, announce

of the soviet delegatlin. In hla pro

other things, "the Polish front to
