day that the Bolsheviki have
broken the Polish lines near
the East Prussian frontier.

are reported to have swept
forward in a great encircling
movement north of Warsaw,
in the center of the Polish

the defense of Western Eur

aim of the soviet government
it to establish the Bolsheviki
firmly at the doors of West
ern European powers.

LEAGUE BETRAYAL

an address delivered in this j
city yesterday, Henry P.•
Fletcher, former ambassador!
to Mexico, attacked the ad-1
ministration and the League j

safeguarded the Monroe

“vain, visionary, and vanish
ing scheme of world regu

on arbitrary disposition of
the lands and peoples, of the
earth.

are now located temporarily
at Creede, Col., for the bene
