When the correspondent reached here after surreptitiously crossiig the bord- er at Czernwone and emplovinz the aid of Poles and a farm wagon with o4, he called on the Polisn soviet commissary who recently was estab- " in office by the Bolsnevik mili- the eoramis- rotruding filln n anl wears q the correspondent’s greeting and then sat down at dinner table, completely ignoring the American. At the commissary's side throughout the meal and during the correspondent’s vigit - a Russian soldier - armed with a revolver stood watch and all the con- versaticn was interpreted to him in Rus- gian. The commissary’s assistant, who was a former German officer, said thi Russian was s Soviet representative who watched all business transacted by Scharnewsky and reported to the soviet central government. although he never interfered with the commissary’s pro- cedure. When the commissary finished his meal, which consisted of soup, a steak smothered with onions, potatoes K:d beer, he stalked to his office directing the correspondent to W After an hour he returned, demanded the cor- respondent’s passports which he gave a cursory inspection, and then returned to his office. After walting two hours, the cor- respondent wandered about the town talking to the inhabitants among whom were many Jews. He was told they did not know whether they were going und- er Russian,’Polish or German rule, but »aid they had heard rumors there would be a plebiscite in all this territory in the near future in which the people would _be permitted to vote whether the: gesired to adhere to Russip or Ger- many. The inhabitants declared such a vote would be overwhelmingly in favor »f Germany. Everywhere the peonle asked for news of the war and other information of the outside world, saving they did not receive late newspapers and that all intelligence came from the German border through conversations with the German guards, who sometimes gave them German news- papers. There is no commerce With the rest of Russia by teleptone, telegraph or rail- road, and the inhabitants of villages along the frontier have been existing solely on the products of the farms. They declare that unless commerce is soon re- vived with Germany they will experience great suffering. When the correspondent was unable after several hours to see Scharnewsky again he prepared to depart, but am or- @erly from the commissary’s office direct- {ed Bim to remain another hour, by which Boishe- | | time a high official wes expected to ar- rive. The correspondent ignored the or- der. The villages -about Kolno appeared prosperous enough, although the peasants were ragged, barefooted and despondent and presented a poveriy-stricken appear- ance. In the fields were fat cattle tend- ed by girls, while boys and women were harvesting wheat. Along the road were many iron crucifixes at wayside shrines at which the pious populace worshipped. In Kolno there is less evidence of the recent war than in the towns of Kast Prussia, where broken statues, scarred houses and ruins of blown-up buildings still bear witness to the damage done by the Rissian invaders in 1914. TEXT OF FRENCH NOTE HAS REACHED STATE DEP'T ‘Washington, Aug. 1 French rejoinder to the American note defining the position of the United States as to l‘olnn;]/und the soviet authorities in Russia his reached the state depart- ment, it was announced tonight. No ar- rangement for its publication has been made, it was said, although it was thought probable the document would be given out early this week. Pending its publicatiol officials re- fused to comment in any way on the French note or to disclose its purport even in substance. “On the 6th of January, 1919, I pro- posed to you that you should move my arthy to help® Admiral Kolchak. My pro- posal was rejected. * * * What I fore- told was prophetically fulfilled. "'The, fortune of war smiled on you. Your Ronor grew and with it your am- bition increased. Coinciding Wwith a whole series of our victories, your order, sub- ordinating yourself to Admiral Koichak { would appear to prove the opposite. His- tory will show to what extent this step of yoursiwas voluntary. You wrote that you subordinated yourself to Kolchak. “But ambition, intoxicated by success, was not able to carry out this sacrifice. Kolchak, left to himself, was defeated and started to retire eastward. Treach- erously abandoned by us, his troops were annihilated. “As the enemy's successes developed and the poorness of our strategy and pol- icy became evident, Russian sooiety com- menced to see . things clearly. Louder and louder became the voices demanding the dismissal of several persons of the higher command, the knowledge of whose j actions-became public. “In the desire of old army chiefs, the army and socie to see me at the head of troops acting in the main theatre, you saw a new danger for yourself. “In your failure you do not see your mistakes, but only the inconstancy of the mob looking for a new god. “Two agents, the Kartashef brothers of the intelligence department of your staff, conducetd a special campaign against me among the Cossacks and spread reports of my intention of bring- ing about an upheaval with the aid of ‘monarchists’ and of my desire to take ‘German crientation.” “Not seeing the possibility of being able to help in the defense of our coun- try, having lost confidence in its leaders whom 1 respected and under whose or- ders 1 voluntarily placed myself, I re- signed and went to the Crimea.” - BATTLE AT WARSAW IS ¢ INCREASING IN VIOLENCE Paris, Aug. 15 (By the A. P.).—Whr- saw was still holding out tonight, as far as is known, but the battle raging under the walls of the city is increasing in vio- lence. From the vague and scant news reaching Paris, the Poles are making a good fight, but seemingly all they can hope for is to delay the fatal hour of the city’s hall. The Reds are continuing to advance and have reached a point less than ten miles from the capital. Military opinion in,Paris does not vis- ualize how any counter-offensive opera- tions are possible in the rEaw region now, except in the event, which is con- sidered most improbable, of the Poles having been able. notwithstanding the advance of the Red cavalry toward Thorn, to keep or to send northward forces capable of manoeuvering on the right flank of the Red column which is operating southward along the Aurew river. GERMAN FLAG IS FLOATING OVEE SOLDAU Berlin, Aug. 15.—The commander of the Twelfth Russian Soviet division which Friday night entered Soldau, on the Warsaw-Danig railroay. amproxV mately fifteen miles northwest of Mlawa solemnly declared to a deputation of in- habitants #hat this . territory newer again would belong to Poland, according to despatches received here today. The Polish, burgomaster of Soldau fled. The Russian’s appoited a citien’s com- mittee from which Poles were excluded. The citizens are- ubilant, the despatches say, and the German flag is again floating over the town. ASK AID FROM UNITED STATES .FOB POLISH GOVERNMENT New York, Aug. 15.—Moral and ma- terial aid which “will strengthen the po- sition of the Polish government and make the conclusion of an honorable and just peace,” were asked of the United States government in resolutions adapted to- night at a mass meeting in Carnegie hall under the auspices of the American Comimittee for the Defense of * Poland. The resolutions expressed support for Poland, “to the end that the republic of Poland may once more stand forth as the victor for civilization and democracy against the disorders of the east.” POLES PURSUE ENEMY TO RIGHT BANK OF THE BUG ‘Warsaw, Aug. 14 (By the A. P.).—In the region of Sholm, forty mile seast of Lublin, the Poles broke through the en- emy line at Ignatow and pursued the bol- sheviki to the right bank of the Bug, ac- cording to an official statement of the fighting issued tonight.

SPECULATING ON PART PONZI PLAYED IN BIG SWINDLE Boston, Aug. 1 -Was Charles Ponzi, the head and front or only the “front” of the millions-over-night swindle that flourished unhindered for eight months in the heart of Boston’s financial district? This was the subject of countless open forums on Boston Common and street corners, in the foreign quarters and wherever the Sunday holiday allowed big and little groups to gather. One needed to listen but a moment to any group of disputants to hear voiced the two popular opinions. One side had it that Ponzi was a real Nanoleon of finance, for how otherwise could he have gained the confidence of men who made the profession of banking and invest- ment? Others argued that Ponzi was only a sidewalk capper for a gang that profited directly or indirectly by the noise he made, and that the brains of the enter- prise were elsewhere than under the skull of the Italian who, if threats of certain of his countrymen are to be taken seri- ously, is safer tonight in the Cambridge jail than he would be in his comfortable home in the bankers' colony of historie Lexington.
