Mr.Tumulty, secretary to President Wll- -'son, said a satisfactory solution of theproblem would be reached through theefforts of Attorney General Palmer,who named a committee to fix profitmargins, and the orders of the Interstate commerce commission.

Governor Cox of C To was signallyhonored on Friday by his home town.Dayton. His fellow citizens, regardless of party affiliations, made himthe chief figure In the "home-comin- g

celebration, and he delivered a speechIn a handsome "court of honor." Thecity was beautifully decorated and wasthronged"' with visitors from all partsof the state.

Dayton also has prepared for theCox notification ceremony, set for August 7. This will take place In thecounty fair grounds and the governorwill deliver his speech of acceptanceirom ine grand stand or the racetrack, in which will be sound ampli-fiers such as were Installed in the natlonal convention halls. Most of last

f week was devoted by Governor Coxto the. preparation of this speech. Agreat many persons profess to be Intensely Interested In what he will sayabout liquor. It is predicted that hewill steer skilfully around that question, and may advise the people of theUnited States that if they want a liberal enforcement of the law, they mustelect congressmen who are In favor ofsuch a course.

Governor Coolidge of Massachusettswas formally notified of his vice presidential nomination on Tuesday andresponded with a speech In which hedid not ;... oUy deviate from thelines laid . TIP, by Senator Harding.The burdeu . it was that the countrymust be speedily rescued from the reactions of war.

Senator Harding's campaign Is notby any means to be confined to hisfront porch. Plans are being made totake him on an extensive speakingtour, which probably will Include Den-ver, Memphis. New York, Boston, Chircago and Indianapolis. He may evengo as far as the Pacific coast. To avoidcertain errors of past campaigns, hewill not enter any state until its pri-mary, fights are over.

The diplomats of Europe were notespecially hopeful last week that theconference at Baranovltchi wouldbring about peace between the two.warring nations and were awaitingthe Russian armistice terms with impatience. It was reported that Le--

nine favored moderate terms, whileTrotzky wished them so oppressiveand humiliating that the Poles wouldbe forced to continue fighting or over-throw their government If the termswere accepted.,

The press of Warsaw Is especiallyskeptical concerning the Intentionsand good faith of the soviet Russians,expressing the belief that the latterdo not want peace.

"Poland Is fully aware that negotiations may be broken off any minuteand that, while they last, soviet Russia will make all efforts to cause anoutbreak of bolshevism and revolutionin Poland, the Gazeta Warszawskadeclares. "Therefore Poland must. Inorder to safeguard an honorable peace,gather all her patriotic spirit and en-ergy.

The Russian patriot Barzew, now InWarsaw f is quoted by the Corier Po-ran- ny

as saying: .

T do not believe peace will be madebetween Poland and soviet Russia.The sovet regime needs a temporaryrest and It will sign an armistice. IfIt signs peace It will mean that thesoviet rule hopes through propagandato establish a soviet government InPoland."

The French In Syria professed tofind that King Feisul was insincere inhis submission, so they stormed andcaptured Damascus and ordered Feis-ul to leave the country.

In Thrace the Greeks have beenmaking great progress against theTurkish nationalists and after desper-ate fighting they occupied Adrianople,the. headquarters of Jafar Tayar, andcaptured that leader and his staff.King Alexander himself entered thecity and was warmly welcomed. TheGreeks also took Kirk-Killse- h and oth-er, strategic points, and it was an-nounced that it would now be com-paratively easy to clear the country ofthe nationalist bands.

Poor old Mexico! No sooner doesshe get rid of one disturbing elementthan another springs up to continuethe turmoil. Last week "Pancho"VJlla, having received assurances offorgiveness and financial reward forhis efforts In the past, surrendered tothe government and promised to spendthe rest' of his life as a peaceful farm-er. But at the same time came thenews that Esteban Cantu, governor ofthe northern district of Lower Cali-fornia, was considered by the govern-ment to be in open rebellion. Can-tu professed to be astonished by thisview of his position and denied thecharge. He said he had been advisedthat the provisional government wassending two bodies of troops, number-ing about 3,000 men, against him, andthat he would have 4,000 men readyto resist in the field any attempt toinvade his province. He assured pro-tection to Americans and other for-eigners engaged in lawful occupationsin Lower California. The prospectsfor a stubborn conflict were goodthough United Statea Consul Boyle atMexican urged our government to use.its good offices to prevent hostilities.

By EDWARD W. PICKARD.The dove of peace Is being treated

roughly in Europe. Every time onenation puts up a nice perch for herto alight upon, some other nationshoos her away, insisting that shemust sit on Its perch or stay up In theair.

Premier Lloyd George thought hehad found the way of peace with theRussian bolsheviki and went to Bou-logne to tell Premier Mill erand allabout it and to get his Indorsement.But Mlllerand had his own ideas, andthe result was that the little Welsh-man hurried home, virtually admittingthat the Frenchman's plans must pre-vail. Briefly. Mlllerand declares thatIf the London conference proposed bythe soviet government Is held, peacewh Poland must be the first subjectdiscussed, and that representatives .ofPoland and all other states borderingon Russia must be Invited to partlci- -pate In the meeting. Another condltion Is that Baron General Wrangleshall not be delivered up to the bolsheviki

Milierand's first consideration is thesafety of Poland, which he Insistsmust be constituted a buffer state tokeep bolshevism out of Germany. Hedid not need even to mention the claimfor recognition of the Russian debtto France, for the discussion did notget that far. He refused to sign thenote to Moscow stating the conditioitsof the conference. vSo Llovd Georcrereturned to London, pretended hewas quite satisfied with the situation,and said the note would be forwardedto Russia as soon as it had been approved by Italy.
