After Reading - Advance Copy of Address, Tells Tumulty Governor Is "All Right" on League Issue. By ARTHUR SEARS HENNING Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bra Leaned Wire. Washington, Aug. 8. Any doubt that the democratic nominee for tqe presidency had acceptably complied with President Wilson's desire that adoption of the league of nations covenant without reservations be made the paramount issue of the' campaign was dispelled today. Although the president, who has had a copy of Governor Cox's ac ceptance speech in his possession for nearly a week, preserved silence today, there was a chorus of Ap proval of the utterance from admin istration officials, led by Secretary of State Colby, who was chosen for his office because his mind would "go along" with Mr. Wilson's, ft is assumed; therefore, that Mr. Colby would not have ' praised the governor so fulsomely had he not known he was echoing the vkws of' the president. It also is the understanding here that it was after reading the advance copy of the Cox speech that Mr. Wilson deputed his secretary, Mr. Tumulty, to attend the Dayton noti fication ceremony as the peisonal representative of the executive and that the president sent by Mr. Tu multy a message of congratulation to the nominee pertaining particu larly to the attitude the governor -adopted on the league question. Worried by White. The president is expected tu man ifest his approval of the nominee's stand politically, either in a state ment to the press or in a letter to the Ohio governor. Mr. Colby ai:d other close associ ates of the president arc gratified to find that the nominee takes a posi tion on the covenant which, in then opinion, coincides exactly with that Of Mr. Wilson, and that Governor Cox has proceeded to launch him self into the campaign with enthusi asm as the champion of the Wil son viewpoint. They had been star tled momentarily by the assertions of Democratic National Chairman White that the covenant was not the paramount issue, that it was hardiv ever mentioned in Ohio and that Governor Cox agreed with the pres ident on the league onlv as to the spirit of the covenant. The admin istration view is that Governor Cox has performed admirably in inaugu- (Contlnued m Pn Twe, Column Three.)

"I love you," were the only English words Julia, a Budapest stenographer, knew when doughboy Frank Wagner brought her to Crown Point two months ago. But Wagner underestimated her knowledge of the language when he left her penniless at 4 o'clock in the morning on a street corner in the strange town of Logansport and sped away in his automobile. Julia was able to remember the name of her' husband's home town, possibly because it sounds like crown prince. She wasn't lost, as he might have supposed, and walked in to the Gretna Green of Indiana a few days later, a little weary and hungry but determined to make another try at the war bride business "American men a lie so cruel," lul- lia told Judge Smith of the criminal j court when she testified through an : interpreter that her husband had assaulted and forced her to leave him : and turn to Hie Crown Point Red Cross for aid.

"No soft censure" or any disciplinary action will be visited Upon the archbishop as a result of his American speeches. ( This is considered the final de cision of the Vatican, which has been kept fully posted on Archbishop Mannix's utterances and his inten tions. I found the papal secretary of staie indisposed, and therefore un willing to receive visitors, but in view of the international importance of the Mannix incident, involving the personality oi one of the lead ers of the church, his eminence agreed it was timely for him to give a clear and unmistakable1 definition of the Vatican's viewpoint.. "The holy see is opposed to vio lence in any form whatever, whether manifested verbally or in bloodshed or in any other forms of disorder," Cardinal Gasparri said.

"The Irish bishops themselves, of theit own initiative, have repeatedly appealed to the Sinn Feiners for moderation and a more Christian spirit, but so far, I am sorry to say, with but scant success. "It isn't surprising that Arch bishop Mannix should have created such a stir in the United States, where the Irish element is so numer ous. 'He has a handsome and en gaging personality, and is gifted with that impassioned eloquence which, in the days of ancient Rome, would have made him a successful tribune of the people. . 1 he Vatican has taken no steps to curb his political utterances, and will continue to give full liberty to the bishop and the clergy, so long as they respect their religious duties.

FRANCE READY TO USE TROOPS TO END ADVANCE Millerand Drafts Ultimatum to Keep Hands Off, or Allies Will Occupy RuhrBlock ade Is Again Clamped On. - Hythe, England, Aug. 8. Great Britain- and France are convinced that the bolsheviki intend-ecTcapture Warsajy.and set up a soviet govern ment in Poland. This was learned from an official source tonight .following announce ment at the conference on Poland between Premiers Lloyd George of Great Britain and Millerand of France, held today, that the confer ence would continue tomorrow when the premiers will pass on iraval,' mili tary and economic plans to save Po land. The plans are being drawn up tonight by Marshal Foch and Field Marshal Sir Henry Wilson, chief 6f the British imperial staff. These developments followed offi cial announcement that the soviet had refused a 10-day truce, requested by Lloyd George in Friday's meeting with the Russian mission headed by M. Kameneff and Krassin. While there has" been no talk of officially declaring war on Russia the allies have decided to give Poland all possible military, naval and econ omic assistance at once. To Enforce Blockade. The premiers received two notes from Moscow tpday. Tonight they sent another fo the soviet and ad vised Poland to seek a truce direct from the bolsheviki who indicated if the request came from the Poles it might have a better chance. One of the bolshevik notes said a meeting of the Poles and Russians had been called for Minsk Wednesday and that the bolsheviki preferred to make their own arrangements with the Poles. It was reliably .reported that the blockade of Russia would be reira posed immediately. , ' Mr. Lloyd George has deferred hi$ statement in the house of common" until Tuesday. M. Millerand and hii party will not return to France until late Monday. The7 French are . urging establish ment of a defensive line in Poland, either before Warsaw or inimidiate ly behind it. M. Millerand also pro posed that the French and the Brit ish troops in the plebiscite would be used chiefly for moral support and that Roumania and Czecho-Slovakia also be asked to send troops. Warning Given Germany. Following the conference, which continued , until after 6 o'clock, M. Millerand presented for approval of the British delegates declaration warning Germany that if an attempt is made to co-operate with the bol sheviki, the allies will occupy the Ruhr and other points in Germany. Mr. Lloyd George has not yet in dicated his approval but French cirr cles believe he will agree to it. 1 It is learned tonight that at the meeting in London Friday between the bolshevik representatives and Mr. Lloyd George, M. Krassin and Kameneff apparently thought they could induce Moscow to accept a truce. Refusal of the soviet is takea here as meaning Kameneff and Kras sin have but minor influence witll Premier Lenin and War Minister Trotzky. Mr. Lloyd George offered every guarantee that the truce wotMd not be used to reinforce the Poles') posi tion. He agreed to have bolshevik officers behind the Polish lines to see that the terms were enforced. Be answered all Russian objections and Kameneff forwarded the plan to Moscow, urging adoption. In British and French circles it is admitted that the situation has brought a crisis only second in grav ity to the one of 1914. Woman's Life Happier Than Man's After 35, Says Doctor London, Aug. 8.
