' It is stated that the allies, although loath to admit it, now feel there is little hope of saving Warsaw, and that the question of Poland is no longer the sole issue. - The main p^hlem confronting the premiers is the defense of Western Europe. In British and' French circles it is declared that the intentions of the Bolsheviki regarding Poland are becoming clearer with every hour. The prevailing impression among the British and French officials is that the Soviet government hopes through the Polish offensive firmly to establish Bolshevism at the doors of the westtern powers. _ Continuation of the conference this afternoon is said to have been necessitated^ through the failure of the two ^premiers to agree on the situation. Premier Millerand is firm in urging the French policy, which includes the blockade and the defensive measures already indicated. It is stated that Premier Lloyd George, although not opposed to a blockade, is reluctant to (j sever' definitely all negotiations with Russia, and it is believed that M. Kanrrtneneff and Krassin, the Soviet emissaries, are to remain in London for the time- being. The British premier is reported to be hoping against hope that some' ...<u 1 |/cavviUl ov/iuviuu mil UC 1VUIIU. "* - The French delegation planned to .

MOT IS ARCHBISHOP'S UNDING london, Aug. 9.?Deep mystery continued today to surround the plans for the landing of Arch Bishop Mannix, of Australia, who sailed from New York last week on the Baltic. There was active speculation as to where he would go ashore and whether he was still on board the Baltic, but the uncertainty deepened as the day proceeded. Dispatches from Queenstown showed that the Baltic stopped off that place at midnight last night with an escort of destroyers, and it was widely believed that the prelate was removed from the steamer at that time. This, however, was merely speculation, and the authorities were maintaining silence. TTio Rnltic nii?K?rl TJ'icVi fJnowl Ikio afternoon without communicating with the shore and proceeded toward Liverpool, being due to enter the mersy at 10:30 o'clock this afternoon. Queenstown, Aug. 9.?According to the report here Arch Bishop Mannix was forcibly taken from the steamer Baltic and conveyed to Cherbourg, i France, by the destroyer Wivvern, which did not return to port with the other destroyers which met the Baltic off Queenstown. Penzance, England, Aug. 9.?Arch Bishop Mannix was landed from a destroyer at 4:15 o'clock this afternoon. 1 It was stated that he intended proceeding to London. WEATHER Showers tonight and Tuesday.

We shatt'talMwthat place. I say so because ! have faith? fsith that this nation hah, >r no selfish destiny, faith that our people are looking into the years beyond for better things and that they are not afraid to do their part. "Even as this nation entered the war for an ideal, so it has emerged from the war with the determination that $he ideal shall not die. It is idle to ptetend that the war declaration of April 6, 1917. was a mere act of self defense or tnat the object of our participation was solety to defeat the military power of the central nations 6f Eismpe. We knew then as A nati&tt, even as we know today, that success on land and sea could "be but hiili a victory. To the cry of the Jronch at Verdun: They shall not pass' and the cheer of our men in the Argonne: 'We shall go through'?we must add this positive declaration of out own wills: that the world shall be saved from the repetition of this crime. "The league of nations is a practicakweftxtiou of a practical situation.

"Two great problems," he declared, "will confront the next administra-' tions of our relations with ihe world V and the pressing nqed of organized progress at home. Among the triost"" ~" pressing of our naional needs he placed "the bettering of our citizenship, the extension of teaching to over. 6,OOO^OO^^^our population above the exclude thfc physically and 'morally -.1 unfit, the improvement in working conditions especially in the congested centers, the extension of communications to make rural life more attractive and the further protection of women and children's lives in industry." Reorganization of governmental machinery which, he said, has become antiquated, especially since the war, also was urged by Mr. Roosevelt. Homer Cummings, former chairman of the Democratic National Committe, declared informally notifying Mr. Roosevelt of his nomination, that the American people have paid a "staggering penalty" for the Republican victory at the polls in 1918. Indisputed in the material and moral leadership of the world" when the armistice was signed, he said, "who will deny that our title to that leadership has been grievously impaired if not completely lost"?

Aug. 9.?Liquor smuggling into the United States has reached such proportions that it has brought in its wake a large illegal traffic in other commodities, it was learned today at the treasury department. Officials have become so concerned that they are considering an arrangement of the government's coastal criminal chasing arms with a view to concentrating on what they described as a menacing situation. The Custom Service charged with protecting the country from smugglers has found itself "wholly inadequate" to meet the situation according to Assistant Secretary Shouse of the Treasury, who is head of that government branch. The Canadian border traffic, while admittedly large, was declared not to * compare with the smuggling said to .' exist along the Atlantic seaboard and with reference to liquor particularly with West Indies and the Florida shores. _ CENSUS REPORT Washington, Aug. 9.?Brunswick, Ga., 14,413, increase of 4,231 or 41.6 per cent.
