A serious dis agreement was reported to have de- veloped between General Luchacev- sky’s army and Moscow. It was stated that general headquarters fintly refused to obey War Minister Trotaky’s orders to halt the advance. The 27-year-old general is sur- rounded by a staff of very loyal and ambitious officers, the report said, and the possibility of their seizing the first favorable opportunity for a military coup d'etat is being serious- ly G@ixcussed in Parts. ORDERS FROM MOSCOW ARE DISREGARDED A similar spirit was sald to exist at headquarters of the Eleventh army, which ix occupying Aserdidjan. Staff officers are already inclined to disregard orders from Moscow. Well informed officials here would not be surprised to hear at any time that this army has cut loose from Lenine and joined General Wrangel, the anti-Bolshevik leader. In the Caucasus, an ahti-Bolshevik rpirit was reported spreading rapid- ly among the people as the result of their treatment by this name Eleventh army. Natives complained it denuded the country, sending live stock, crops, oll, ete., to Moscow and even pillaging homes. Talk of a general military uprising against Lenine and and the establishment of a military govern- ment gained plausibility from the fact that the red army is almost en- tirely commanded by former regular officers who served with the czar and their seeming loyalty to Moscow has long puzzied the allies. Now officials profess to believe these leaders are only waiting for = chance to turn upon the Bolshevik government and degtroy it, and that their feigned loyalty ts but a means to this end, to give them control of overwhelming military strength, The Moscow wireless communique received here early this morning an nounced the reda had captured Oxo- vietz and were pursuing the Poles. Capture of positions north of Biel stok also was announced, oe NOW STARTING TRUCE DETAILS LONDON, July 21. — Bolshevik troops have captured Bielystok and have reached Brest-Litovsk, accord- ing to a Moscow wireless dispatch received here today. eee WARSAW, July 21.—Armistice ne- gotiations between the Poles and the bolsheviki began today. The Polish delegates crossed the armistice lines at 8 o'clock last night. They were assured by the bolsheviki that the international armistice rules would be strictly observed. Meanwhile, the reds were reported to have invaded Galicia north of Brody, which has been evacuated. Lemberg must be given up if the fighting continues, and it is not re inforced. A government composed of an Austrian soldiers’ and work. men's council was reported to have been set up at Trieste, Battalions of red troops were being formed there, Potted Chickens Leave Her Home Potted chickens don't resurrect themselves and fly away.

Love brought her home to Amert- ca to be pitied and loved anew. Lave, made her happy. Today May Yohe is Mr. Jan A. Smuts, wife of a war hero whose family helped to make South African history. Their home is in Java. Her husband has accompanied her here. As a girl she was known as the “most beautiful girl on Broadway.” went from New York to London ith a show success that was play: | ing in a music hall there when Lord | Francis Hope saw and admired her. Lord Hope wooed her madly, show ered her with gifts, won and married | her and gave ber the famous Hope diamond Lord Hope was an elderiy man. May Yohe was young. She eloped with dashing young Capt. Bradley Strong, a British officer, who took her far from England. For him she renounced her title, Ker ponition, everything. Too Inte she found out her mistake, Went about from pert to port, from one gay city to another, squandering what money she had left lavishly, foolishly, to forget her sorrow. She came to Seattle. fh the old Breakers cafe she sang in her rich contralto to one-befuddied men and women, and drank champagne. They called her “Madeap May.” Her many friends observed whence she was going and, unkble to stop her, stood by pityingly. Bome say she first met Jan Smuts, her present husband, here. Anyway, the meeting was the beginning of her reclamation. Theirs was a case of enduring love at first sight. They both were down and out. They married and set about to re. deem themscives, May Yohe, once the wife of a lord and owner of the most wonderful diamond of its kind on earth, went to work as a scrub woman in a San Franciaco business block. There she found that happiness does not always live in ancient cas tles, does not always wear silks and costly gema, but can extst in a one- room housekeeping apartment where the wardrobe stands beside the one- hole gas burner. After a time she and Smuts, a ma- chinist, had saved enough money to carry them to Java, where they found better opportunities and more money and more content. Dispatches from San Francisco say May Yohe has forsaken’ face paint and powder, and is as young looking, as refreshing and beautiful almost as when she was called Broadway's fairest.
