Anti-Red Move May Make Millerand President.

London, Aug. 13. Polish and Bol-hevik armies have met In battlo at a point about thirty miles north of Warsaw and the result was still In doubt when the last despatches were filed from the Polish capital. The Poles were offering bitter resistance, repeatedly throwing the Russians out of defenses where a foothold had been gained, according to advices from the front. Much of the fighting was hand to hand.

A considerable force of Poles' was being held back of the lines as a mobile reserve, the staff fearing the Russian attack on the north might be a feint, and that the main drive for Warsaw would materialize elsewhere. A lengthy message from Russian Foreign Minister Tchitcherln, received here, charged the Poles were deliberately delaying the Minsk armistice negotiations, at the instigation of France. It alleged France was supporting Wran-gel with money and otherwise, and was simultaneously trying to embarrass Britain, who earnestly seeks peace. The communication declares France in reality desired the Bolshe-vlki to take Warsaw, and were, therefore, purposely delaying armistice parleys, expecting that united Entente Intervention would follow Warsaw's fall. Brland May Become Premier.

Paris, Aug. 13. Resignation of Presi. dent Descanel Is Imminent as a result of France's new and aggressive anti-Bolshevik policy and the consequent diplomatic misunderstanding with Great Britain. It was consldeied likely that Premier Millerand would be elected President and M.

Brland would be appointed Premier. The press today generally declared recognition of Wrangel's anti-Bolshevik government by France was a mere Incident in the gradual divergence between the Russian policies of France and Great Britain. This divergence has existed for months, the newspapers said, and has reached a point where Immediate reorganization of the Entente cordlale upon a new and solid basis Is necessary. and France today were lomatically negotiating 4. n-ff ort smooth out-thelratfrerencea with regard to Russia.

The' Foreign Office let is be known that the points under discussion were the Soviet peace terms to Poland, which Britain advised the Poles to accept and which France advised them to reject; the French recognition of Wrangel and whether It was Justified, and what is to be done if the Minsk armistice parleys fail to bring about cessation of hostilities. No Split, Says Millerand. Premier Millerand, In an address at Noyon, made the first public expression of France's attitude when he said: "The Allies will remain united. Differences of opinion are inevitable, due to the difference in their national characters, but their union will continue." Paris was much excited over the Franco-British clash. The news that Britain had sent a note on the subject increased this agitation, as the man In the street believed the situation must be very serious to warrant such a step.

The French appear firmly of the opinion that Germany Is backing the Bolshevik! drive on Poland. A report from Swiss military sources today said that Ludendorff, former commander of Germany's armies, was giving the Rus sians tactical advice right along and that Germany was sending supplies directly to the Three Possibilities. Washington, Aug. 13. State Depart ment officials, watchlna- the Euronean situation, today saw three Important possible developments of the Polish-Bolshevik situation.

They are: Material aid extended by Frence to Gen. Wrangel may allow the Cossack leader to launch such. an offensive that Moscow would have to withdraw large forces of troops from the Polish front to meet the advance of Wrangel. The rrencn recognition oi wrangel im plied that France would support Wrangel with munitions and other war supplies, and Polish diplomats nere expressed the hope that Wrangel may divert some of the pressure from their front. The recognition of Wrangel by the French may allow the Crimean leader to sit in the proposed general peace conference between the Allies and So-.

vlet Russia, as representative of the only Russian faction recognized bv snv of the principal Allied powers. The Bolshevik! have Insisted they will not ntt Much A mnfaranM with ru tiooI and Premier Lloyd-George, of Great Britain, has agreed that Wrangel remain out. However, officials here believe if the French give strong support to' Wrangel a place may be forced for I him at the conference. The United States went on record as opposing such a conference In Becretary of State Col. by's note to the Italian Ambassador, and it Is still problematical whether the parley will be held.

The Soviet may break off all efforts for an armistice and peaoe with the ruiru uci-bubc vi mc recognition of Gen. Wrangel. The Bolshe-vikl were reported to Intend to de- mand the surrender of Wrangel as one of the conditions of an armlstloe and peace with the Poles. Great Britain disclaimed all responsibility for the ntl-Bolshevlk leader. Italy With Britain.

Rome, Aug. 18. Italy today appeared likely ot align Itself with Britain in tha rilrilnmn.He mlsiinrierstn nriinir hn- tween Britain and France. There had been no official expression on the Sub ject, but newspaper comment and con versation of members or the govern ment Indicated they favored Britain's policy of etriving for peace with Rus- sla, rather than France's belligerent attitude. The whole press dlsspproved recognition of Gen.

Wrangel's anti-Bolslys- Fears That His Victims May Do Him Harm. Boston, Aug. 13. Charles Ponzl, whose net of "fifty per cent. In forty-five days" enmeshed so many customers that he had to use bushel baskets to hold their money, was nearlng the end of his rope today.

The self claimed financial "wizard" was at liberty on $35,000 ball on tho Federal charge of using the mall to defraud and the other $10,000 on a State charge of larceny. The report of the audit of his beeks by Federal officials was expected to be made public yesterday. Forecasts were that the report would show Ponzi had 40,000 customers; that they "Invested" as high as $14,000,000 in his scheme; that he repaid approxi mately $6,000,000 before the ddoors of the Hanover Trust Company were closed and that he still owes the remainder. Federal officials declared that there was no question but what the savings of thousands were tied up In the Ponzi venture. Bank Commissioner Allen stuck to his statement that the capital of the Hanover Trust Company was "badly impaired if not wiped out," despite denials of officials.

Wife Retains Faith In Him. Ponzl declared today that he was happy because his girl wife still pro-, fesed her love and faith in him. Rose Ponzi, dark-eyed Italian girl, proved her love and faith by the simple statement, "he Is my husband." She Is happy that the nerve-trying strain of the past few weeks is over-Although she loved the luxury their new found wealth game them, she said she would toil long and patiently to help her husband meet his obligations, and she was confident he would pay all he owes. After his surrender to authorities yesterday. Ponzi rushed home to his wife.

She was waiting for him on the lawn of their beautiful estate. The worry and weariness that was shown on Ponzi's face disappeared and his wife slipped her arm about his neck and kissed him. The little act of devotion seemed to give the weary man new-life. He turned to newspapermen and smiled. His eyes were nielsi.

Mrs. Ponzl then Informed her husband that she married him with full knowledge of his prison record in Atlanta and Montreal. She was told of her husband's record by his mother when she and Poszi became engaged. The gray-haired mother had written to the girl of "Charlie's record," and Rose had married l'onzl but never told him until last night she knew the secret of his past. Mrs.

Ponzi declared her faith In her husband and suld she Is confident he is innocent. "Somehow what happened today makes me happy." the girl said. "It gives me the chance to show the world and Charlie that I love him. that nothing matters, that I love him more than ever before." "Of course he is innocent. He has been persecuted," tho girl wife declared.

"If he is allowed to do so iio will pay al lhls obligations." Says Hanover Bank Insolvent. The Hanover Trust Company is hopelessly Insolvent, in the opinion of the State Commissioner of Banks. At least $125,000 In funds of the Slate of Massachusetts were deposited 111 the institution. Investigators have established that Ponzi's claims of huge profits in dealing in International postal reply coupons were dreams. They claim he never dealt In thooe coupons to a greater extent than a few hundred dollars at the most.

A high State otficlal and two bank' officials were reported under Investigation today in Connection with the deposit of State funds in the Hanover Bank. Other arrests were predicted for todny. That Ponzi, during the time he was assuring the public with convincing force that he had enough money to settle all accounts, was making desperate efforts to get money from other sources, is known. He is said to have tried to interest Thomas W. Lawson of "Frenzied Finance" fame, in bis whirlwind business.

Only the bare facts of Ponzi's great bubble have been disclosed when the whole story is told officials believe it will be the most startling disclosure of financial manipulation in the history of the United States. Ponzi Stays at Home. Ponzi remained at his home in Lexington with his wife and mother today. Heavily armed guards were stationed at all points about the grounds of the estate. It was apparent that Ponzi fears an attempt on his life by infuriated investors, and he is taking no chances by appearing In public.

Thousands of Ponzi's notes flooded Attorney General Allen's office at the State House today. The flood of notes said to total at least $6,000,000, was released by frightened Investors as soon as Ponzl was arrested. The authorities compiling a list of these notes were swamped. RAID SINN FEIN COURTS; LORD MAYOR ARRESTED Cork, Aug. 12.

Military forces today raided the City Hall, where three Slrfn Fein courts were In session. They arrested Lord Mayor MacSwlnny and a numbor of other officials. sion, running southerly through Nostrand avenue to Flatbush avenue, Vanderveer Taxpayers Ask or Subway Serfvice The committee of the Vanderveer Park Taxpayers' Association which yesterday waited on Commissioner Delaney, of the Public Service Commission and begged for the immediate opening of the Nostrand avenue subway received assurances from him that the subway would be opened at the latest by Monday, August 83, for express service. The committee was composed of John C. Lowe, president of the Vender-veerVarlt Taxpayers' Association: A.

A. Pfwt, Arthur Lflch and Albert Pettit, Worried, Makes Hurry Call on Chairman. Republican County Leader Jacob A. Livingston today stated he has entered lit no combination wtlh the leaders of the other counties In the Second Judicial District In the make-up of a Supremo Court slate. Livingston said he will express no preference until after the designating petitions are filed.

The time for filing petitions expires on midnight of August 17. It is possible Livingston, speaking the Kings County Republican organization, may on next Wednesday tell the public what five candidates the organization favors. This morning Pettit made a flying visit to Livingston to find out what was wrong with the alleged combination. It Is understood there was a spirited discussion and that the Nassau County man came away not wholly pleased. The county leader was asked about the alleged agreement the organization had made with the organizations of the four other counties.

Commissioner Livingston wanted to know what was meant by the organization. He was told that ho was meant as the mouthpiece of the organization. It has been understood the organization leaders of the five counties had agreed to support Justice Walter H. Jaysox, of Suffolk; former District Attorney Henry R. Pettit, of Nassau; Frank S.

Gannon, of Richmond; and Congressman MoCrate and Municipal Court Justice Charles B. Law, of Kings. Pettit was said to have been decided upon as a result of the break from Hugo and Lockwood an the part of the Nassau County men In' the Saratoga convention and the naming of Jeremiah Wood for Lieutenant Governor. Pettit Sees Livingston. Yesterday, however, the publication of stories that the Seventh and Ninth Assembly Districts of Kings County had indorsed 14 county men and Judge Strong, of Suffolk County, stirred the supporters of Pettit and Gannon.

The Seventh District endorsed Justice Jay-cox, Law, McCrate, Strong and Frederick S. Martyn. The Ninth District made the same Indorsement except that Assistant District Attorney George R. Voss, who lives there, was substituted for Martyn. "Well then you can say," said Livingston, "that there was no agreement on the part of the organization to support any candidate.

No agreement has been made to support Pettit, of Nassau, or Gannon, of Richmond. When the designating petitions are filed I will have a preference." "Do you mean that you will have a preference as an individual or as the leader of the Twenty-second Assembly District, or as the leader of tho county organization?" "You may take that any way you like," was the leader's answer. There was ho equivocation about his statement that no promise had been given to support either Pettit or Gannon nor did he leave any doubt that after next 'Tuesday he will let it he known who the five candidates are who will bo supported by him for Supreme Court nominations in the primaries on September 14. The county leader was told that the impression prevailed tht the Republican organization in Kings County is fooling Pettit and Gannon. No Promise of Support.

"How can we be fooling them when we never have made a promise to support them?" Venizelos Likely to Live; Assassin's Bullet Removed Paris, Aug. 13. The assassin's bullet which split the shoulder blade of Premier Venizelos of Greece Into four pieces was removed today In an operation which was declared successful. The bullet was removed by means of a radiograph. After the operation it was announced that the Premier's condition was very satisfactory, but that absolute rest was necessary.

He had a good night.

Duncan, general manager for the. receivers of the Manhattan and Kfngs Traction Company, went into a conference at noon today with representatives, of employes of his- road In an effort to prevent a tie-up of the road hs a result of a demand for an increase of wages by the employes.

Today was the limit set by the employes whe their demands must be mot. As he entered the conference, Mr. Duncan said; "The road Is unable to pay the men any more than the five cents an hour Increase which we have offered the men."

Mr. Duncan said he believed the conference would last the greater part of the afternoon.

George W. Wason, 4 4, a broker, 72 Trinity place. Manhattan, i tnr.it was taken today to' the office of District Attorney Lewis a prisoner on, charges of appropriating to his own use far speculative purposes 110,000 of the funds of tho Samaritan Hospital, Fourth avenue and Seventeenth street. Wason acted as treasurer of the institution without salary. Evidence of the alleged grand larcenies was placed in the hands of District Attorney Lewis last night.

Ths complaint was made by Dr. Alvaxea H. Smith, president of the SamarltaR Hospital, and Dr. Clifton Bogardus, chairman of the Board of Trustees. Lewis assigned detectives of his staff to the case without delay.

They reported that Wason was contemplatlnB a trip West, it was said, and Lewis thereupon directed his arrest. Detective Roddy found Wason in a business conference in an office in the Standard Oil Building, 26 Broadway, Manhattan, last -night, and placed him under arrest. Wason offered no resistance. Ha made no statement that the District Attorney oince wouiu givr uuu It was expected he would be arraigned today on a short affidavit In Adams etreet court. District Attorney Lewis announced his intention of turning the case over to the Grand Jury without delay.

According to the information said to have been furnished by Dr. Smith snd Dr. Bogardus, Wason's operations in withdrawing hospital funds to back Ills acu vines ill nail hucl uceau ctv. eral weeks ago. He obtained the hospital money by drawing checks to his 'own order, and retaining the money, lit was charged.

The withdrawals wers 1 always in small amounts, according' to Lewis, the highest amount, 81,000, hav. ing been drawn a few days ago. Lewis i said the suspicions bf the hospital trus-! tees became aroused recently and they went over the books with the result that a shortage was discovered. Wason's home is at Mountain View, N. J.

He is married. At the close of the examination of Wason In the District Attorney's office, Mr. Lewis announced that he had obtained a complete confession dealing with Wason's alleged embezzlement of funds. In this confession Wason stated, according to the District Attorney, that he began utilizing hospital funds for his own purposes shortly after his appointment as treasurer of the hospital in February, 1918. The total of his thefts from the hospital amounted to 57,000, so far as Wason could account for funds withdrawn, said Lewis.

It Is believed the amount will reach tho total of 110.000, which was charged by the hospital authorities. Of the sum withdrawn, $1,000 was drawn In a single check on a Manhattan bank. Wason converted this Into a Liberty bond and later disposed of the bond, according to his alleged statement. Other withdrawals were in cash. The shortage of the hospital fund was told by Dr.

A. H. Smith, president of the hospital, a month ago. At that tlmo no names were mentioned, Dr. Smith announcing that it was hoped the institute would not suffer financially as there were prospects that reU atives of the official responsible for tho loss would reimburse the hospital.

The-first intimation that the accounts were wrong came last April, said Dr. Smith. (in 191X, fault was found with the unbusinesslike method the books were kept, said one official of the hospital, but when the books were gone over they were found to be in proper condition. Last month, when the shortage was announced, Wason declared emphatically and unqulvecally that none bf tho ftmta nf tho hnsnital Q.cra mloolnw or had been lost In Wall street or any other place. He declared that the $7,000 In dispute was safely Invested in bonds which are in his possession and which will be turned over by him as soon as the question as to who Is the treasurer of the hospital is decided.

Wason stated that during the past', two years there had been no annual meeting of the hoard and consequently no election of officers. Late in March, or early In April, he said, there was a private meeting of some of the trustees at which Dr. Bogardus, of 687 Fifty-third street, was elected' treasurer. This election was Irregular. Wason claims, as It did not tae place at the annual meeting and no special notice was given that It was to be held.

Wason added that it was really only a private conference of a few of thai trustees at which they decided to make Dr. Bogardus the new treasurer of the hospital. "The $7,000 In dispute is invested In bonds and that fact is known to Dr. Smith and Carroll." Wason said, "There is no truth whatever in the statement that there is a shortage of $7,0011 and that the tnone ywas lost tin Wall street or any place else, I ihnve the bonds and will turn them lover nt the proper time to the proper officials after there has been a legal I election of a treasurer. The money i was invested In the bonds with the knowledge and under tho express authority of the trustees, after we de- Oiul tt Vtitfrht ho innra nrnfltnMA for the hospital to Invest its funds than to leave them In the bank.

That Is nil thorp Is to the matter." Dr. Smith and Dr. Bogardus, however, took issue with Wason and declared there waa a shortage in tho hospital funds, when told of Wason's statement. "There Is a shortage of at least $7,000," Dr. Bogardus stated.

If Wason bought bonds with the money he did it on his own Initiative, and responsibility and we have seen nothing of the bonds. The meeting at which I was elected was nerfCctlv legal In every respect and was so considered by Wason, for he turned over all the books and papers of the hospital without any question, and he also turned over what cash there was In the banks. It was only when the $7,000 item whs brought up that his raised any question as to the legality of my election."

Y. The water Is 125 feet deep.

About 1.500 persons watched the diver's descent from the rim of the quarry. He was under water the last time twenty eight minutes.
