V.I. U.S.
A.,
THURSDAY
19tTH
“UGUST
1920.
Wrangel
as head of
the
South
Russian
Govt.,
is so improved,
that
according
to
[”Homme
Libere,
another
meiing
of
the
Premiers
at
Boilogne
will be
un-
necessary
One
of
the
circumstances
which
may
best
favour
a resumption
of
close
collaboration
between
France
and
England,
slvs
the Petit
Parisien,
is
ihe
agreement
nov realized
between
France
and
the United
States
on
the
Russian
question.
The
French
Govt.
is
sending
a
note to the
United States,
expressing
pleasure
that the French
and the
United
States
vie'vs
on
the
Russo-Polish
situ-
ation
are in complete
accordance,
it
was
learned today.
London,
Aug.
14th.—It
was
officially
stated
yesterday
atternoon,
that
no
a.-
rangements
were being made
for a
meet-
ing
between
Mr.
Lioyd George
and
M.
Millerand
as
a resu!t
of France’s
acticn
in ‘recognizing
General Wrangel’s
Govt.
in
Souith
Russia.
France
has
taken
a
stand
and maintains
it, and (Great
Britain
has
done
the
same thing,
the
Associated
Press
was informed.
There
is
no
need
of
a
conference
now.
Tension
today
was
coasiderably
less and
the
countries
are
not
so far
apart
as
the situation
yes-
terday seemed
to indgicate.
Paris,
Aug.
14th.
France
has not
yet determined
to materially
aid
Gener-
al Wrangel
as accord.ng
to an
announce-
ment
:irom
the
Ministr,
of Foreign
Affairs,
M.
Millerand
and Mr.
Lloyd
Genrge
agreed
at the
Hythe conference,
that such aid
was
not
to
be
given,
ex-
cept in certain
eventalities.
It
is
con-
sidered
that
France
will
not
aect
un-
tii after
an
excharge
of
views
with
Great
Britain.
The Foreign
Office
yes-
terday issueda
deni:!
that
France
had
ever
encouraged
Piland
to
wage
war
with
the
Bolshevik.”
On
the
contrary,
the
statement
said,
France
had
urged
Poland
to keep
withix
her
ethnographi-
cal
boundaries
and
o realise
that
her
dangers,
lay west war.{ rather than
east.
Toledo, Ohio, Aug. :3th.—Edward
Ray
“ of Great
Rritain

won
the United
States
open
golf ch:mpionship
with
a
score
of 295 for T 2 loles, thus carrying
ge
cup to England
for the second
time,
_Harry
Vardon
having
won the title two
“years
ago
and lackiny only
two
strikes
of capturing itagain tbday.
It was
only
by a
stroke
that the mng driving Briton
snatched
the
honour:

and
Hut-
chinson, (Chicago)
an,i.i Burke (St.
Paul)
missing long putts.
by inches.
to tie
the
score
of
the
winner, who also
outstrip-
ped
his countryman
Vardon,
by
a
sin-
gle stroke.

Dublin,
Aug.
13th.—The
Freeman’s
Journal
announces
that
Mr. Wylie, legal
adviser
to
Viscount French,
Lord
Lieut.
of Ireland,
has presented
his resignation.
R
ther
than

Law
has promised
to pledge
the G~vt. on Mon-
day
to Dominion Home Rv e with full fis-
cal authority.

London,
Aug.
13th.—Should
the
re-
port printedfby
the
Freeman’s
Journal of
Dublin
that
the
Govi.
has
decided
to
adopt
a
dominion
solution
of
the
Irish
prebiem
prove
correct,
it will not
cause
much surprise
here.
Mr.
Wylie’s resig-
nation
would
be the
second
resignation
from
the Vieeray’s Council and
probably
for the same
reason
as
was
giyen by
Sir
Thomas
;Stafford,
who resigned
early
in
the week,
because,
as
he
put
it,, "‘the
Premier
has
refused
to
take
the only
step giving a chance
for peace’’, namely
the fim ard immediate offer of a form of
dominion
government.
The
Ministers
were in session
at Downing Street today,,
discussing
the
Irish
problems.
During
the Council, Sir Hamar Greenwood, Chief
Secretary
for
Ireland,
was* su?_unsned.
.
The
movement
in
favour
of
Domimion
Home Rule witkgreservations
concerning
the army and navy and
other
questions,
has
grown
with astonishin&?mdxgy
in
recent
montns.
It is generally
bsiieved
to be favoured.by Mr.Lloyd Geerge.
