Polish Authorities Anxious

For Moral Support of United

States Ask Statement on

Stand of Government.

By ARTHUR SEARS HENNING.ChlrHiro Tribune-Omah- a llee ld Wire

Washington, July 2.?. With Sen-

ator Harding promising, if electedpresident, to protect the republicirom the clutches of the league ofnations and Governor Cox propos-ing to put the country into theleague, it begins to look as if theRusso-Polis- h war is going to fur-

nish an object lesson in the efficacyof Mr. Wilson's world peace planwhich may influence the result ofthe presidential e'ection.

If the processes of the league,elaborately and minutely prescribedin the covenant, should he invokedsuccessfully to slop the war be-

tween Poland and Russia and toeffect the arbitration of their dif--

itrences and acceptance of the de-

cision by both parties without further recourse to arms, there is nodoubt that the democratic causewould be materially strengthened.

overnor Cox would have reasono "point with pride" to a practicalemonstration of the plan to stop

and prevent war to which the presi'dent has asked the' United Statesto subscribe.

Would Boost Stock.' fetich a demonstration would en

hance league of nations stock trmendously n the American marketand tend to narrow the issue toa question whether the UnitedStates in entering the league shoulduu umviiuuiuiitiiy, da uic cat- -dent desires, or wth the Lodge reservations restricting American obitcations. '

If, however, the league shouldcontinue to ignore the Kusso-roiis- n

war or should fail to function suecessfully in an effort to induce thetwo nations 'to settle their differences amicably, it is certain that thecause of Mr. Wilson s covenantwould suffer and the gfowjng sentiment agin st any' entanglementwith the leairue deepen.

Governor jCAx doubtless will becalled upon? to explain why theleague is not functioning in theKiirnnean crisis develoned bv thaiRusso-Polis- h war. Though repeat-edly urged by Lord Robert "Cecilto intervene, the league council hasdeclined to take cognizance' ot thesituation.

Not Asked to Intervene.The United' States has not been

approached by any of the Europeannations with regard to what actionthis govemmeut. might he expectedto take in the event of active in-

tervention against the bolshevik asa result of the defeat of Polalid. Offi-

cials also slated today that ihe ques-tion of using troops of the Americanarmy of occupation in Germany hasnot been brought tin in connectionwith difcussidn of the Polish bofshevik, situation. .

It was learned today that PrinceT tibomirski, the Polish minister, hasdiscussed the situation resulting fromthe success of the red. drive againstPl-Mi- in dotpil vith state depart-ment officials with a particular view

. to ascertaining what assistance, if

any, coi'ld be extended to Polandhv th United State". It is knownthat Folish authorities, here desire.that the State department should is-

sue a statement in support of thePolish cause on the ground that the

m value ot ne morai suppoti mus givenf would be of considerable help to the

Poles in their present emergency.May Grant Credit.

An arrangement is under consider-ation whercov American governmentcredits may "be granted the Polishgovernment for the purchase of sur-

plus American war materials. It is

stated tht uch materials still exist.in considerable quantity in Europe'and could be available for prompt

delivery if credit for their purchaseis extended to Poland. '

Officials here are not informedthat the allies contemplate sendingtroops to the aid of Poland in anygreat number. While it is believedthat some troops. may be sent forthe sake of the moral encourage-ment of their presence, it is notconsidered possible for Great Bri-

tain and France to dispatch mili-

tary forces in great numbers toPoland's aid under existing cond-

itions. It is therefore believed thatsuch aid as can be immediatelygiven by the allies will consist ofmaterial assistance of credits, armies,ammunition and other supplies. Inthe meatime the Poles, it is under-

stood, are impatient at the delaymade necessary by a preliminary dis-

patch of two allied commissionsto Poland from France and England ' to investigate the situation.Every 'day, Polish officials declare,increases the difficulties of the sit-

uation and lessons the chances forthe effectiveness of such help asthe allies may be able to render.

Second of a series of dispatchesfrom Mr. Evans, who is exploringthe farms of the middle-we- st tolearn the status of farm labor.

By ARTHUR M. EVANS.Copyright, 1920, Thompion Featurs Service.

Keokuk, la., July 23. Scantlabor for the beet fields in Michi-

gan, Wisconsin, Nebraska and Ohiois sending sugar men into the cornand wheat belt in a search for hands.Beet sugar, they say, is the key tosugar prices next year and the har-

vest next fall depends on the farmlabor situation. This year there isa great increase in beet acreage,but the drop in available labor hasbeen even greater than in the caseof the grain raisers. This is ascribedlargely to immigration. Beet factorymen say that in years past the greatbulk of the workers in the fieldshave been foreigners, mainly Slavs.The cutting off of immigrationsince 1914 has reduced the flow ofcommon labor just as it has in thecase of steel, iron and other in-

dustries. On top of that migrationhack to 'Europe since the armisticehas pulled down the supply.

In the last two days, this pilgri-mage has run across three beetsugar men, managers of factories inMichigan, Ohio and other beetslates, out skirmishing for men inthe cities through which passes theflow of transient of harvest labor.One had been in Cincinnati. Theothers had been combing the em-

ployment agencies in Denver, Kan

DEFENDER OVERHAULS

RIVAL NEAR FINISH

Speed of Both Sloops Picks

Up Under Fresh Wind on

Last Leg of Journey-Vess- els

Cross Line Close Together.

Sandy Hook, N. J., July 23. Reso-lute won today's international cuprace after a spectacular finish andtied, two to two. with Shamrock IVin the fight for the America's cup.

Resolute crossed the line first, witha minute and a half to spare, according to unofficial timing ashore.

Shamrock, after a long stern chasearound two legs of today's triangularcourse, overhauled the defender within three miles of the finish, butthe American sloop, breaking out a

big ballooner, took the lead againwithin the last half mile and spedfirst across the finish line, beatingthe challenger boat for boat, accord-ing to unofficial timing.

Led by Sir Thomas Lipton's char-tered steam yacht Victoria, a tre- -mendous chorus of whistles greetedResolute as she crossed the line.

The official finishing times were:Resolute, 4:39:25; Shamrock,4:43:06.

Despite announcement from StatenIsland shipyard that the two sloopswould be drydocked there tomorrowif Resolute won today, the regattacommittee at the end of today's con-test signalled a race for tomorrow.

Round Second Turn.Unable to pass Resolute on the

second leg, although gaining 44seconds, Shamrock rounded the sec-

ond mark at 3:27:16, after Resolutehad turned at 3:25:49. The elapsedtime showed for the second leg were:Resolute, 51:02; Shamrock, 50:18.

The total jelapscd times for bothlegs were- - Hfsolute, 2:24:16; Sham-

rock, 2:25:20This gavj$ Resolute a margin of

one minute and four seconds, plusher time handicap of six minutesand 40 seconds, which put her sevenminutes and 44 seconds to the good.

The speed of the two yachts othe second leg wa- s- remarkable,averaging well up to 12 knots.

Wind Pushes Sloops.As the wind piped to 18 knots on

the third leg, the sloops tore evenmore rapidly through the water.

shamrock seemed unable to carryher big reaching jib topsail, whichher skipper took in without attempt-ing to replace.

At 3:45, with a black squall mak-

ing up ahead, Shamrock took inher topsail. A minute later Reso-lute hauled her jib topsail and alsoprepared to meet the squall.

At 3:50 Resolute was leading bya quarter of a mile with the finishline about four miles away. Apfparently most of the squall hadpassed, for there was a big drop inthe breeze, which at 3:51 camearound to the northwest, forcingResolute to tack.

Shamrock was forced about byResolute. Without a club topsail,the challenger seemed handicapped.The yachts were drenched by thepassing squall, but the wind grad-ually came around again, fair andstrong.

Boats Becalmed.A singular shift in weather condi-

tions left both boats almost be-

calmed at 4 o'clock, four miles fromthe finish, but with Resolute a quar-ter of a mile ahead.

At 4:14 the breeze came back fromthe southwest and Shamrock got itfirst. The challenger set a workingtopsail and a big jib and began toreach by Resolute.

Challenger Gets Lead.Shamrock passed Resolute within

three miles of the finish, but at 4:14had not enough lead to win if pres-ent conditions held.

At 4:14 the yachts were withinthree miles of the finish line, reach-ing for it on the port tack, with No.1 jib topsails set. Shamrock alsohad its working topsails in place.

At 4:20 both sloops were holdingfor the finish at a fair speed, withShamrock to weather of Resoluteand a trifle ahead.

At 4:22 Resolute shifted to a No.1 jib topsail and began to close upon Shamrock. The two sloops thenwere within a mile of the finish.

Half a mile from the finish Reso-lute broke out a ballooner and drewpast the Shamrock.

The official elapsed times for therace were:

Resolute, 3:37:S2; Shamrock,3:41:10.

By this figure Resolute won by 3minutes, 18 seconds elapsed time,plus her time allowance of 6 min-utes and 40 seconds, making a cor-rected time of 9 minutes and 58 sec-
