England, Aug. 9.?How to
save Western Europe from Bolshevism
Was the burden of the discussion
at this morning's conference here between
Premiers Lloyd George and
Millerandi and although the final de
cision was sua pending this, afternoon
the chiep weapons will probable be a
t blockade and the establishment of a
defensive line in Poland. ' 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'

stated he will hold a conference with
the cabinet.

army, to take command of the Polish

to today's report from the
Anglo-French mission in Warsaw.
Both Genral Weygand and General

tary Mission have been insisting that
the situation was not hopeless and
could be relieved if- their instructions
carried out.

The plans are 'subject to the approval

which Premier Lloyd George will address
tomorrow.
The conference of the Premiers ended
at 4 P. M.
It is probable, if the plans are approved,
that they will not go into effect
until the preliminary results of
the meeting: at Minsk between the
Soviet and Polish negotiators are
known. If these indicate a willing

press dispatches today indicated that
the gravity of the Polish situation
was increasing there still- yas nt> information
that the American government
had reached a decision on the
proposals for aid.presented by the Polish
government or the tentative program
for helping the Poles outlined
by the British and French governments.
No announcement was expected
pending the outcome of the conference
between Premiers Lloyd George and
Millerand at Hythe, England. Exchanges
between Washington and London
and Paris still are continuing but
officials maintain silence as to their
purport and also as to the views of
President Wilson as developed at the
recent conference he had with Secretary
Colby and Under Secretary Davis.

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.

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.

"Today," he continued, era of- \

*?f nations to the end that the
smaller peoples may be truly safe to
work out their own destiny. 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

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

constitution.. wnich has been

"Two great problems," he declared,
"will confront the next administra-'

and the pressing nqed of organized

pressing of our naional needs he
placed "the bettering of our citizenship,
the extension of teaching to over.

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"?
"There- is but one way out," he
added. "It is to redeem America's
word to the world and to assume without.

C1NTHT FROM SMUGGLERS
Washington. 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. _
