CALL ON COX TO EXPLAIN
PRESENT INACTIVITY
Polish Authorities Anxious
For Moral Support of United

Stand of Government.
By ARTHUR SEARS HENNING.
ChlrHiro Tribune-Omaha llee ld Wire
Washington, July 2.?. With Sen
ator Harding promising, if elected
president, to protect the republic
irom the clutches of the league of
nations and Governor Cox propos
ing to put the country into the
league, it begins to look as if the
Russo-Polish war is going to fur
nish an object lesson in the efficacy
of Mr. Wilson's world peace plan
which may influence the result of
the presidential e'ection.
If the processes of the league,
elaborately and minutely prescribed
in the covenant, should he invoked
successfully to slop the war be
tween Poland and Russia and to
effect the arbitration of their dif-
itrences and acceptance of the de
cision by both parties without fur
ther recourse to arms, there is no
doubt that the democratic cause
wo
would be materially strengthened.
overnor Cox would have reason
o "point with pride" to a practical
emonstration of the plan to stop
and prevent war to which the presi
'dent has asked the' United States
to subscribe.
Would Boost Stock.
' fetich a demonstration would en
hance league of nations stock tr
mendously n the American market
and tend to narrow the issue to
a question whether the United
States in entering the league should
uu umviiuuiuiitiiy, da uic cat-
dent desires, or wth the Lodge res
ervations restricting American obit
cations. '
If, however, the league .- should
continue to ignore the Kusso-roiisn
war or should fail to function sue
cessfully in an effort to induce the
two nations 'to settle their differ
ences amicably, it is certain that the
cause of Mr. Wilson s covenant
would suffer and the gfowjng senti
ment agin st any' entanglement
with the leairue deepen.
Governor jCAx doubtless will be
called upon? to , explain why the
league is not functioning in the
Kiirnnean crisis develoned bv . thai
Russo-Polish war. Though repeat
edly urged by Lord Robert "Cecil
to intervene, the league council has
declined to take cognizance' ot the
situation.
Not Asked to Intervene.
The United' States has not been
approached by any of the European
nations with regard to what action
this govemmeut. might he expected
to take in the event of active in
tervention against the bolshevik as
a result of the defeat of Polalid. Offi
cials also slated today that ihe ques
tion of using troops of the American
army of occupation in Germany has
not been brought tin in connection
with difcussidn of the Polish bof
shevik, situation. . -
It was learned today that Prince
T tibomirski, the Polish minister, has
discussed the situation resulting from
the success of the red. drive against
Pl-Mid in dotpil , vith state depart
ment officials with a particular view
. to ascertaining what assistance, if
any, coi'ld be extended to Poland
hv th United State". It is known
that Folish authorities, here desire.
that the State department should is
sue a statement in support of the
Polish cause on the ground that the
m value ot ne morai suppoti mus given
f would be of considerable help to the
Poles in their present emergency.
May Grant Credit.
An arrangement is under consider
ation whercov American government
credits may "be granted the Polish
government 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 purchase
is extended to Poland. '
Officials here are not informed
that the allies contemplate sending
troops to the aid of Poland in any
great number. While it is believed
that some troops. may be sent for
the sake of the moral encourage
ment of their presence, it is not
considered possible for Great Bri
tain and France to dispatch mili
tary forces in great numbers to
Poland's aid under existing condi
tions. It is therefore believed that
such aid as can be immediately
given by the allies will consist of
material assistance of credits, armies,
ammunition and other supplies. In
the meatime the Poles, it is under
stood, are impatient at the delay
made necessary by a preliminary dis
patch of two allied commissions
to Poland from France and Eng
land ' to investigate the situation.
Every 'day, Polish officials declare,
increases the difficulties of the sit
uation and lessons the chances for
the effectiveness of such help as
the allies may be able to render.

Second of a series of dispatches
from Mr. Evans, who is exploring
the farms of the middle-west to

By ARTHUR M. EVANS.
Copyright, 1920, Thompion Featurs Service.
Keokuk, la., July 23. Scant
labor for the beet fields in Michi
gan, Wisconsin, Nebraska and Ohio
is sending sugar men into the corn
and wheat belt in a search for hands.
Beet sugar, they say, is the key to
sugar prices next year and the har
vest next fall depends on the farm
labor situation. This year there is
a great increase in beet acreage,
but the drop in available labor has
been even greater than in the case
of the grain raisers. This is ascribed
largely to immigration. Beet factory
men say that in years past the great
bulk of the workers in the fields
have been foreigners, mainly Slavs.
The cutting off of immigration
since 1914 has reduced the flow of
common labor just as it has in the
case of steel, iron and other in
dustries. On top of that migration
hack to 'Europe since the armistice
has pulled down the supply.
In the last two days, this pilgri
mage has run across three beet
sugar men, managers of factories in
Michigan, Ohio and other beet
slates, out skirmishing for men in
the cities through which passes the
flow of transient of harvest labor.
One had been in Cincinnati. The
others had been combing the em
ployment agencies in Denver, Kan

Hard to Get Men.
."The beet raisers are vastly worse
off than the wheat growers," said
One sugar maker. "High prices of
sugar have resulted in an expansion
of the beet fields, but it's hard to
get men even with a fine-tooth
comb, no matter how much you
boost the wages.
"Our company, for instance, gets
the farmer to plant the beets and
agrees to furnish men to take care
of the crop. We are now paying
38 an acre, as against $23 two
years ago, for caring for the croo.
One man can handle IS acres. It
means only a few days' work now
and then, and the rest of the time
the man can work for the farmer

able to pull out at the end of a
season with $800 or $1,200, and 90

cording to unofficial timing ashore.
Shamrock, after a long stern chase
around two legs of today's triangular
course, overhauled the defender with
in three miles of the finish, but
the American sloop, breaking out a
big ballooner, took the lead again
within the last half mile and sped
first across the finish line, beating
the 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 greeted
Resolute as she crossed the line.
The official finishing times were:
Resolute, 4:39:25; Shamrock,
4:43:06.
Despite announcement from Staten
Island shipyard that the two sloops
would be drydocked there tomorrow
if Resolute won today, the regatta
committee 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 44
seconds, Shamrock rounded the sec
ond mark at 3:27:16, after Resolute
had turned at 3:25:49. The elapsed
time showed for the second leg were:
Resolute, 51:02; Shamrock, 50:18.
The total jelapscd times for both
legs were- Hfsolute, 2:24:16; Sham
rock, 2:25:20
This gavj$ Resolute a margin of
one minute and four seconds, plus
her time handicap of six minutes
and 40 seconds, which put her seven
minutes and 44 seconds to the good.
The speed of the two yachts o
the second leg was- remarkable,
averaging well up to 12 knots.
Wind Pushes Sloops.
As the wind piped to 18 knots on
the third leg, the sloops tore even
more rapidly through the water.
shamrock seemed unable to carry
her big reaching jib topsail, which
her skipper took in without attempt
ing to replace.
At 3:45, with a black squall mak
ing up ahead, Shamrock took in
her topsail. A minute later Reso
lute hauled her jib topsail and also
prepared to meet the squall.
At 3:50 Resolute was leading by
a quarter of a mile with the finish
line about four miles away. Apf
parently most of the squall had
passed, for there was a big drop in
the breeze, which at 3:51 came
around to the northwest, forcing
Resolute to tack.
Shamrock was forced about by
Resolute. Without a club topsail,
the challenger seemed handicapped.
The yachts were drenched by the
passing squall, but the wind grad
ually came around again, fair and
strong.
Boats Becalmed.
A singular shift in weather condi
tions left both boats almost be
calmed at 4 o'clock, four miles from
the finish, but with Resolute a quar
ter of a mile ahead.
At 4:14 the breeze came back from
the southwest and Shamrock got it
first. The challenger set a working
topsail and a big jib and began to
reach by Resolute.
Challenger Gets Lead.
Shamrock passed Resolute within
three miles of the finish, but at 4:14
had not enough lead to win if pres
ent conditions held.
At 4:14 the yachts were within
three miles of the finish line, reach
ing for it on the port tack, with No.
1 jib topsails set. Shamrock also
had its working topsails in place.
At 4:20 both sloops were holding
for the finish at a fair speed, with
Shamrock to weather of Resolute
and a trifle ahead.
At 4:22 Resolute shifted to a No.
1 jib topsail and began to close up
on Shamrock. The two sloops then
were within a mile of the finish.
Half a mile from the finish Reso
lute broke out a ballooner and drew
past the Shamrock.
The official elapsed times for the
30-mile race were:
Resolute, 3:37:S2; Shamrock,
3:41:10.
By this figure Resolute won by 3
